Dear Listees, I?m currently trying to track a piece of the Mazapil Iron. It?s a medium octaedrite that fell on 27th November 1885 at Zacatecas, Mexico. TKW was 4 kg.
It was the same night that the Andromedid meteor shower underwent a spectacular outburst. The simultaneity of these two events has driven speculation ever since that the meteorite was a fragment from Periodic Comet Biela, the parent comet of the Andromedid shower. However, refering to Meteoritics & Planetary Science 37 (2002) the occurrence of the two events was purely coincidental. So far I know that ANMH has some material. Does anyone know if this is the main mass? And is there any material of Mazapil in private hands that I can purchase or trade. Any hints are appreciated.
