[meteorite-list] AD - Meteorite related Land Art by Jean Verame: a strange meteorite...

Mon, 15 Dec 2003 06:41:38 -0800

Dear List Members,
 
I have added on our web site some pictures of a strange find coming from the Sahara Desert... Looking like a meteorite, this unusual object was actually made by Man's hands, and these hands belong to the Belgian "Land Artist", Jean Verame.
He actually made 1000 "bronze meteorite", some of them painted in blue (!), and dropped them over the Sahara Desert from a plane in 1995. 5 of those "bronze meteorite" only, have been recovered so far, and one of them (#606 / 1000) is shown on our site :
in French: http://meteoriteshow.free.fr/PAVE-J.VERAME-fra.pdf (dossier pdf de 239Ko)
 
You can also reach those pages via our second home page: http://meteoriteshow.free.fr/
 
Do not heasitate to contact me, should you like to have more details, or wish to purchase this very rare item. We provide a book by Jean Verame displaying those works and GPS coordinates of the find.
 
I agree that it is not a real meteorite and do not try to show it as one. But it is definitely "meteorite related", from the way it reached the Sahara Desert (from the air) and the way it was found, actually hunting meteorites!
 
Hoping that you will enjoy this news,
 
Kind regards.
