Re: [meteorite-list] New Iron Meteorite Finds

[Mark Miconi]

Norbert, First Nice website.   Second and maybe you or someone on the list can answer this as it is along the same lines as your question regarding Irons.   Why are there no stoney meteorites found in Australia? If there have been Stoney Meteorites found there, what is the ratio of Stoney to Iron?   I have been on the list for 3 years now and can not remember seeing any stoney meteorites being sold that came from Australia.   Thanks in Advance   Mark M.

It occurs to me that the market gets flooded with new chondrites every day but hardly any new iron, nut to mention stony irons. There are more than a thousand L's and H's just from NWA, I guess. It seems to me that apart from Campo and Nantan (yes, Sikhote and Brahin too) that stuff is getting rare. And it shows such nice etching pattern! -- Best regards from DOWN-UNDER, Norbert & Heike Kammel     ROCKS ON FIRE        IMCA #3420 www.rocksonfire.com
