[meteorite-list] A possible 'wrong and a probable 'wrong in the news
http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/06/13/Giant_meteorite_found_in_Sweden/UPI-38431213396355/ STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 13 (UPI) -- A massive meteorite weighing a staggering 2,607 pounds has been found near the northern Swedish village of Kitkiojarvi, officials say. Thomas Osterberg, one of the two people who found it, said it was the biggest meteorite ever found in Sweden, the Swedish news agency TT reported. He said it was egg-shaped, about one meter high with a diameter of about 70 centimeters at its broadest. The finders say they hope to sell the whopper to the Swedish Museum of Natural History. It must stay in Sweden, Osterberg said. http://www.winsfordguardian.co.uk/news/latestnews/3163460.Man_claims_a_meteorite_left_a_hole_in_his_garden/ A WINSFORD man had an unwelcome visitor on Sunday night in the form of a small meteorite. Graham Brooks, 37, a heavy goods vehicle fitter, lives at his mother Christines house at Railway Cottages in Rilshaw Lane. He was sitting at home looking at wedding magazines with his partner Karen at around 10.30pm when he heard a loud bang outside. When the couple went to see what had happened, they found a pile of stones and soil up against their caravan in the back garden and a small golf-ball sized hole in the ground leaving bits of silver fragments around it. Graham said: It felt like a gas cylinder exploded or something and there was a very loud bang. The incident was believed to have been caused by a small meteorite hitting the ground that caused soil and stones to make dents in the caravan. Graham added: Ive never seen or heard anything like it before. If it had been three feet closer then it would have come through the skylight in the roof and hit us. It was as loud as a gunshot and the neighbours were gobsmacked. I was very shocked by the incident and were supposed to be getting married in September as well. Graham spoke to Terry O Brian, who works for Manchester Museum, who asked Graham to post the bits to him for analysis but believes it might have been a meteorite from Grahams description. It is estimated to have caused around £1,000 worth of damage to the caravan. Graham and his partner Karen are currently speaking with their insurance company to see if they are covered. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

I know Thomas Osterberg, we hunted with them and their family last year in Muonionalusta. His daughter found a ~400 kilo piece last year, so it looks like they found the new main-mass this year. Congrats to them, I will miss the white nights this year, I am not going ot Sweden, as I have other plans for this summer that involve the southern hemisphere, not the Arctic.

[meteorite-list] Happy 10th Birthday Portales Valley - some more tidbits of interest
Darryl Pitt about Portales Valley: Darryl Pitt, who on behalf of the Macovich Collection has acquired nearly 10 kg of Portales Valley, reports that Netschaevo, a chemically anomalous medium octahedrite with H6 silicate inclusions appears to be similar to Portales Valley. Said Pitt, It would seem that Portales Valley may end up being classified as either a silicated or anomalous iron, and not a mesosiderite or H6 as has previously been reported. And Jeff Grossman commented: Obviously there is disagreement among scientists on what to call PV. I personally see no reason to call it type 7, a primitive achondrite, an achondrite or to coin a new term. If I take the conclusions of the Ruzicka study as a given, that you had H6 material near its peak metamorphic temperature, with additional shock heating and mobilization of metal- rich melt, then I see no reason not call it an H chondrite impact melt breccia in which the clasts are dominantly type 6.
