Dear list members,
What you are seeing is the first slice of Whetstone Mountains offered on eBay.
Todd Parker is one of the original Whetstone Mountains recovery team members
and the slice he is offering was recently expertly prepared by Marlin Cilz.
This slice is prepared from one of Todd's recoveries in the field and is
guaranteed to be an authentic piece of the Whetstone Mountains meteorite. The
strewnfield has been extensively searched over the last nine months with a TKW
of only 3080 grams represented by 22 stones and part stones. I am posting this
to the list because many of you are not familiar with Todd Parker and may be
wondering about the provenance of this stone. I am personally vouching for
Todd and the authenticity of this stone as I was present when he recovered it.
Todd is mentioned in the monograph by Dave Gheesling and the slice you see on
eBay at the present time was prepared from a recovery made personally by Todd
Parker. There will be very little
of this material available for sale as the tkw is quite small and all of the
material is already in private or institutional collections. I would have
liked for the tkw of this fall to have been much larger, but it is what it is.
The fall was a very small one on the order of Kendleton ( fifteen total
stones). If you want a nice slice of this historic fall, you should not miss
the opportunity to acquire a slice from Todd as this prepared material is quite
rare. Best wishes to all, Jack Schrader IMCA #2329
