[meteorite-list] Ad: Saratov slices with weird inclusion
Hello Everyone, AD: Crazy Saratov Inclusion Saratov is a really interesting 102 year old fall, but after cutting a thick slice, I purchased from Allan Lang almost 20 years ago, I found something that makes it even better. We went through all the research and we were not able to find anywhere that talks about these "Howardite looking inclusions". I can't say what they are, but they are really interesting! I have a few slices with this crazy inclusion to sell and they are $9/gram. I also have a few small slices without the inclusion for $7/gram. If you have any questions please let me know.

[meteorite-list] AD: Saratov Specimens
Hello Meteorite Efficietados, For Sale: Saratov, Russia Synonyms: Belaya Gora, Donguz, Saratow Fall: September 6, 1918 Coordinates: 52°33'N, 46°33'E Chondrite, type L4 Saratov is one of the most underrated falls, having landed on earth a little over a century ago. This fall occurred on September 6, 1918, at 15:00 hours UT. A brilliant fireball appeared over Ryazan, Russia. Seconds later many atmospheric detonations were heard throughout the surrounding countryside. Startled by a bright flash, peasants all over the northern area of Saratov Oblast looked up to what appeared to be a group of fireballs to the west in a shallow arc. The sighting was followed by what was described as “a powerful roar”, perceived by some as the Last Judgement. Several stones totaling 328 kg were recovered near Belaya Gora and Donguz. The 2492 gram and 360 gram specimens came from Wayne Walton collection, famous NASA researcher who worked with the lunar rocks from the Apollo 11 and 14 missions. Both of these specimens have hand painted collection numbers. The second 360 gram piece is from the collection of Allan Lang. This specimen is a beautifully fusion crusted thick slice. Numerous research articles have been done with Saratov centered around nobel gases, chondrule porosity, shock metamorphism, and several other features of this very interesting meteorite. Price for the large specimen is $2.50/gram and the two smaller specimens are $3.50/gram. Please contact me for pictures or if you have any questions.

Most all of the specimens retain a beautiful crust with some showing flight features. There is only one individual for sale, the endcut main mass, two crusted fragments, and some slices. Some of the slices show more weathering and are a darker color matrix (as seen in picture 3), but all show fresh metal.

[meteorite-list] AD: Newest Lunar Meteorite
Hello List, In the majority of my 20 years of collecting I never thought it would be possible for collectors to own a lunar meteorite like we have been availed with, in the recent finds, over the past couple of years. Myself and two other collectors recently had Dr. Irving classify this specimen that turned out to be a lunar feldspathic regolith breccia, very reminiscent of the early DaG 262 and DaG 400. I am able to say, to the best of my knowledge, that I am offering this specimen for the lowest cost for a classified lunar meteorite ever. The specimen is a beautiful endcut weighing 316 grams. If you have any questions please let me know and if you are interested in this specimen please contact me so we can discuss it. http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/lunar316_zps7ijqgstr.png Sincerely, Jason Phillips www.rocksfromheaven.com (educational site) __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Santa Apolonia, Mexico Truly a rare iron that was released from a long term collection. These specimens were cut and polished by Marlin Cilz. This meteorite was discovered in 1872. While the original name was Santa Apolonia meteorite, decades later Nininger used the names Nativitas meteorite and Tlaxcala meteorite. This meteorite is rarely represented in collections and it is even more rare to see a specimen of pure iron for sale. If you have any questions please ask. Available specimens are 4.32 grams and 2.66 grams. 4.32 grams http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Santa% 20Apolonia2_zpsqbxrwmbw.jpg 2.66 grams http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Santa% 20Apolonia1_zpsqvof3i8i.jpg Have a great day, Jason Phillips Rocks from Heaven www.rocksfromheaven.com (education site) __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
