Hello,
It is something like that- Dungeons & Dragons game, however, with the
Catalog there are leads within the tome and after you see the leads,
you can really find the treasure.
I am also being very serious. There are leads within the catalog that
can help people recover a lot of meteorites. Before all the other
books that people have today, the catalog was really all we had to
work with. It was the source of great wisdom and has taken me on many
great adventures. Although, I can't say because I still might follow
up on them, there are at least 15 strewn fields or possible strewn
fields that have not been tapped or recently visited.
Best Wishes
Michael

Hi Michael,
This is going to sound extra-nerdy, but is the new level of meteorites
like going up levels in a role playing game or Dungeons and Dragons?
For each time you read through the Magick Meteorite Tome, you gain one
level in meteoritics skill. LOL
I wish all of the entries had more extensive background information or
anecdotes, but the ones that do are well worth the read. It's
fascinating to read some of the entries about obscure falls and finds
I have never heard of or seen for sale on the open market. I don't
know how I ever lived without this book. I refer to it frequently and
it's a good reference to look up some older meteorites mentioned in
MAPS abstracts.
Best regards,
MikeG

After two complete readings you will enter a new phase or level of

Hi Michael,
Grady edited the later versions of the Catalogue - the earlier
versions were edited by someone else, I don't recall exactly who.
Was
it Sears?
The Catalogue is new to me - I had heard of it and read about it and
longed for it, but only recently bought my own copy. It's been an
invaluable reference for the nerd in me - my wife looked at it
briefly
and declared it was the driest reading she had ever seen. LOL
To me, it's a page-turner. I'm slowly working my way through it,
reading every entry. :)
The software is a great bonus as well.
Best regards and clear skies,

OK,
I get it, it is the Catalog of Meteorites - I have one, of
course.
Thanks, Michael

Hi Mike,
It's still in print, but it's fantastically-expensive and is
rarely
available used at discount. I paid over $220 for my copy.
You can order from Amazon and some major book sellers. I got mine
on
eBay from a seller in the UK, with shipping I think the total was
about $230. Beware buying used, because there is a CD-ROM in the
back
of the book (to install the whole shebang on your PC) and it's
sometimes missing from the used copies.

_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247951296&sr=8-1
I consider it a must-have, along with Cosmic Debris, Rocks from
Space,
Meteorite Craters, MAPS, Meteorite Magazine, and Norton's Field
Guide.
Best regards,

According to the Met Bulletin -
Northern Ireland has 2 approved mets -
Bovedy (L3 fall 1969)
Crumlin (L5 fall 1902)
Grady's Catalogue of Meteorites reveals an additional 5
meteorites for
Ireland, in addition to the 2 for Northern Ireland - that
makes a
total of 7.
Limerick (H5 fall, 1813)
Dundrum (H5 fall, 1865)
Mooresfort (H5 fall, 1810)
Killeter (H6 fall, 1844)
Pettiswood (unclassified fall, 1779)
Some observations - The Irish have sharp eyes. Every approved
meteorite from that nation is a witnessed fall. So, the
original
poster that inquired about his suspect specimen could be right
in his
assertion - there are no FINDS from Ireland, only falls.

The photo caption says it's not magnetic and is very light.
So
chances are (combined with the appearance), it's not a
meteorite.
It's an interesting little piece of metal that probably has a
good
story behind it, but I think it's terrestrial.
Best regards,

Hi Jim
Interesting object. It reminds me of a piece of bomb
shrapnel. It
does
not
appear to be a meteorite, but maybe you could remove a tiny
piece
and
do
a
nickel test.

Hello list members
I've been contacted by a fellow in Dublin who found this
object years ago and has always been curious about whether
it might
be
a meteorite.He states that it is about 2cms long(roughly 7/8
of an
inch
for our non-metric list members) and is light like
aluminium.I have
asked him whether it was magnetic and he said 'no' .
Of course I should have asked him whether it was
attracted to a magnet, so I did and waiting for his reponse
now.Because
this object is so small I've advised him that the best way
to test
may
be to file down a flat area and apply nitol to see if a
pattern
emerges.
Of course even this isn't 100% if it happened to be an
ataxite.
I told him I thought it was unlikely that the object was
meteoritic in nature but that I would pose the question to
the
meteorite list and see what the experts think.So if you
could please
take a look and offer your opinions I'd appreciate it.
