Re: [meteorite-list] AD: MURRAY, LA002 Mars meteorite, NWA2999, Barbotan man killer meteorite, LUCE', Forest City, Barwell & more meteorites ending on eBay soon!
Now thats some proof :) and a hammer stone I think would turn heads from the Sutter's Mill HAMMER STONE FALL. I bet when its said and done, there will be more of stones found on top of builds and roofs within the area the meteorite fell because of it fragmenting in the atmosphere, only time will tell. But for those of you that collect hammer stones or meteorite from HAMMER STONE FALLS the Sylacauge I would say is the king of all HAMMER STONE FALLS just for the fact two stone came from that fall, making one a hammer stone as apposed to Sutter's Mill HAMMER STONE FALL were there has been over 60 individual stones and fragments found so far and more being documented. So in a since the probability of a hammer stone will be alot higher than from Sylacauge HAMMER STONE FALL.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill mass range
Congrats to Robert! Having spent (still) many many days with my head down and alert, countless hours and optimism in every condition and restricted search ground (and non-restricted with permission from property owners) I'm struck by the not-coincidental success that a number of experienced hunters who have come to the strewn field have had. Look at the number of stones, and many have been found by devotees. Looking at the list of finds and finders, and having seen thousands of people looking (some kid's parents and the parents themselves had horse-shoe magnets suspended by strings as they walked along), it is amazing that Robert's persistence turns up more that a single stoneA BIG amazing congratulations.

Re: [meteorite-list] Vesta & HED's
It is true that a few eucritic rocks are ungrouped. Ibitira is one example. It is not surprising that basalts were erupted on a few distinct small bodies, 4.5 Ga ago... But all the diogenites display the same D17O as the (regular) eucrites, and no ungrouped diogenite has been identified at present. The fact that Vesta exhibits diogenites AND eucrites is a strong argument for a link between HED and Vesta. Jean-Alix Barrat Selon "Benjamin P.

Re: [meteorite-list] Vesta & HED's
Yes, but aren't the relatively few non-Vesta eucrites classified as ungrouped achondrites or anomalous eucrites?(if not then they should be) So I would like to think that there is already the notion that there may be a few rare exceptions.
