[meteorite-list] Re: ad Impact melt = real Gao??

[vincent jacques]

Hello Eric,

I'm see on your website about the "Gao-b" that:

"  There are no known examples of impact melts like Gao (b) associated with relatively unshocked material like Gao in the same fall.   Such an association could provide interesting information on asteroid impact dynamics.  On the other hand it could be an entirely different meteorite which is similar to Cat Mountain or Rose City. "

Your Gao-b is very very similar to NWA722 (ElKachla) and  Rammya meteorite: You can see photos of this meteorite at http://users.skynet.be/meteorite.be/Rammya.html  , and you will can compare it.... 

I possede a real shocked/melt  Gao in my collection, but  the lithology is very similar to Harrissonville meteorite.   Are you sure of your meteorite source? Do you have analysis for the Gao-b?

best regards, 

Vincent JACQUES

> Second I have acquired in trade a 236 gram complete slice of the Morristown mesosiderite. It is an 1887 find from Morristown, Tennessee, USA. Total known weight is only 16.3 kg. The complete slice is available only until 15 August. If it is not sold by then I will cut it and make part slices available later. It is an incredible slice with several large silicated metal nodules in it.
