Thanks Randy... very interesting pics. Maybe it's just the light in the
photo but it appears one side is completely without primary fusion crust. If
that's the case then I'd guess that due to the shape and size/number/type of
regmaglypts I would not be surprised if another even larger mass turned up
closely fitting this one. Maybe even the main mass for the fall. But that's
just a guess! ;-)
Hope everyone has safe and happy holidays,
Jeff

Subject: [meteorite-list] AD - "Buzzard Coulee"
Collectors:
A couple of days ago I was contacted by telephone by Mr. Warren Wiley of
Saskatchewan. (Why me?) He told me that he'd found "the second largest"
stone of the Dec. 2 fireball and that he wanted to sell it. He seems to
be a nice fellow, so I offered to pass his information along to the
meteorite list, which was OK with him. He does not have Internet access.
A friend of his sent a message this morning with the following text and
some attached photos, which I've posted on this website:
http://artsci.wustl.edu/~rlkorote/warren/
Mr Wiley's text: "This specimen is from the Buzzard Coulee near Lone
Rock, Saskatchewan. This is an immaculate masterpiece of atmospheric
sculpting. Heavily regmaglyphed, aesthetic specimen. Found December 2,
2008, 35 minutes after sundown. I have video documentation of my 4 day
search; where I found it, and associate professor, Alan Hildebrand, coming
to our house to authenticate. Alan Hildebrand and other scientists have
completed the lab analysis on my chondrite, and it is an (H 3/4)
chondrite. Warren Wiley (owner) is putting it up for bids, serious
inquiries only. Contact Warren at 1-780-842-4858."
Please do not contact me about this offer. I'm just the messenger and I
won't respond to enquiries about this issue. I'm only doing this because
I wanted to see the photos.
