Re: [meteorite-list] What are the FeO/MnO Ratios for the Kalahari 008, 009?

Dear List, An update, it looks like even though the two Kalahari lunar meteorites have completely different classifications they are paired. This makes sense since they were found just 50 meters apart. The abstract below proves this since they both share the same CRE and terrestrial ages:

Hi Adam, I don't know strewnfield stats so well, but for the case, that they aren't fragments of the same stone, which were transported later by a mechanism, the heck I dunno which, wouldn't it be highly improbable, that two stones of a fall landed so close to each other, especially as they have

RE: [meteorite-list] Question on oriented SA shrapnel

Hi Göran, Yep, I've also got a few sikhote shrapnels with definite flow lines, so must have been due to detonation in the air, since I can't see how flow lines can form whist imbedding in a tree etc... Best Mark -Original Message- From: Jeff Kuyken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

Re: [meteorite-list] What are the FeO/MnO Ratios for the Kalahari 008, 009?

When this meteorite came to my attention as a member of the NomCom, warning bells went off in my head too. Enough evidence was presented to us to convince us that these were meteorites, although I expected this not to be the case, that we had to name them. But the find story is very odd. My

If you want to see the Kalahari 008/9 location from Google Earth, download that program from http://kh.google.com/download/earth/index.html, then take the snippet of code below, paste it into a text file, save it as kalahari.kml, and then launch the file. There must be a better way to send

RE: [meteorite-list] Question on oriented SA shrapnel

Martin, Thanks for the link, very interesting, (though somewhat simplified imho). There have been quite a few oriented (with flow lines) SA shrapnel pieces pulled out of trees etc, it will be interesting to see if anyone has any idea's as to the formation mechanism. If the 3rd and 4th

Re: [meteorite-list] What are the FeO/MnO Ratios for the Kalahari 008, 009?

with the very old terrestrial age, is it really that much of a surprise to find diffrent analysis for a paired set of stones? Meteoirtes can weather very diffirently in diffrent locations even through they are only located a short distance away from each other, or heck, look at my favorite

Re: [meteorite-list] Question on oriented SA shrapnel

I've been around this so long ,it never occured to to think this was the result of ground impact, but I understand how it would look that way. When one thinks about it, All or the SAwe find was shrapnel-form at the beginning of breakup. Fragments which separated earlier had longer opportunity

RE: [meteorite-list] What are the FeO/MnO Ratios for the Kalahari 008, 009?

Hi Adam, Martin, Jeff, and All, First, as for Martin's question - it's not that unusual that two different sized individuals of one and the same fall land that close to each other. Take for example the 8 kilo + main mass of the SaU shergottite strewnfield (SaU 008). Other, much smaller stones
