Hi List, Look what I just scored -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260385765969 Here is a partial list of the goodies in the lot - Sudbury Impact Basin (Canada) - 682gr large shattercone Wanapitei Lake (Sudbury) - 110gr endcut of suevite fallback breccia Wells Creek Crater (Tennessee) - 194gr dolomitic shatter cone sample Hummelin Impact Structure (Sweden) - 50gr slice of impact melt Sudbury Impact Basin - 60gr slice of Black Onaping suevite Ries Crater (Germany) - 62gr "flaedle" impact glass bomb Rochechouart Crater (France) - 108gr slice of pseudotachylite Gallaejaure Crater (Sweden) - 70gr endcut of impact melt Decaturville Impact Structure (Missouri) - 136gr endcut of monomict impact breccia Lappajärvi Crater (Finland) - 74gr impact breccia Rubielos de la Cérida Impact Basin (Spain) - 70gr endcut of polymict fallback breccia Duobblon Impact Structure (Sweden) - 122gr slice of impact melt Notice the price - I think I should be arrested. I have been wanting to compile a collection of specimens related to various impact structures, but I never expected to get lucky and score a nice starter collection like this at a reasonable price. :) I especially like the shatter cones, the Sudbury specimens, the Ries specimen, and the colorful Rubielos de la Cérida breccia. I am still looking to acquire a Chicxulub specimen and I will consider a trade for one - after I receive my new goodies and sort through them. I will probably put 2 or 3 of these specimens on the trading block for specimens from Chicxulub and Vredefort. If the seller of this lot is a list member, I'd like to say thanks for the deal and I can't wait to eagerly rip open the box like a kid at Christmas. I already have Riker boxes and display labels waiting. :) Best regards, MikeG -- .........................................................
