[meteorite-list] Ferro Meteorico Lionle Co Kansas L. 70
Hello Matteo, Sterling and List, Last February I, too, thought and wrote this might be the ADMIRE pallasite because of the find date. But the picture clearly shows that this meteorite is an iron and not a pallasite. The etch pattern seems to be that of a IIIAB iron and this narrows my speculations down to the Tonganoxie IIIAB iron which was found in Leavenworth County in, well, 1886 :-( But, look what I've unearthed :-) BUCHWALD V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 3, p. 1224: According to Snow (1891) and Bailey (1891), the mass was irregular of shape, resembling a lion couchant (sleeping lion), and measuring 24 x 16 x 9 cm. So, maybe the meteorite in question is Tonganoxie and the date of find was erroneously given as that of the Admire pallasite.

Hi, Matteo, Bernd, List After being referred to another UP address, I couldn't get the image to display, so was deprived of a look at the picture. I guessed on the basis of the date and the transliteration of lyon and lion. Now, we have meteorite heraldry: lion couchant, a curious scientific description even for the 1890's! Sterling K.
