A new American pallasite - Big news indeed! Congratulations to Karl on making such a great find for Missouri and for doing it the "old-school" way. What a great name for a meteorite too. Also, congrats to the entire crew (Karl, Dave, and Robert) for setting such a great example and for properly documenting this important find. Sean, nice job on the website too! So happy to see positive news in our community.

Rather than rewriting the same message, I've just copied Karl's intended note below and am sending on behalf of the group... All the best, Dave www.fallingrocks.com <<Dear List, I am pleased to introduce the Conception Junction pallasite to the meteorite community. Robert Ward, Dave Gheesling and I have been working on this project, in conjunction with Dr. Randy Korotev and Dr. John Wasson, for almost two years now, and it is a pleasure to present this beautiful pallasite to the meteorite community here on the meteorite list. Information about the Conception Junction pallasite, available specimens, and its monograph (authored by Dave with contributions from Dr. Wasson), can be found here: www.conceptionjunctionpallasite.com Limited material will be available to the private collector community, as we are holding specimens in reserve for institutional placement. My personal website, www.olderthandirtmeteorites.com, is in the early stages of development, but it will contain more information about this new Missouri (my home state!) meteorite soon.
