Hello Jerry, Mark, Greg and List, What a beautiful H4 chondrite! Gorgeous thumbprinted fusion crust! Sincere congratulations to all those involved!
Moni asked: "When will you find out how old it is?" This surely sounds like an invitation to another quiz ;-) So my take is: it is so fresh that it must have fallen within the last 4 months! Well, speaking of H4 chondrites: There are 17 different H4 chondrites and 5 H4 thin sections in my collection. While most of them are inherently chondrule-rich, one of them is a real "sea of chondrules" - it is a NWA from Greg Hupé that is chockful of chondrules of different types with radiating pyroxene chondrules slightly more abundant than the other chondrule types. With a TKW of only 118 gr, there were only a few specimens on EBay and I am glad I purchased a complete slice and an endcut of NWA 4443. Maybe other collectors who acquired something of that H4 would like to "chime in" and tell us about their specimens. H4-ly yours, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
