[meteorite-list] Chinese Meteorite Is 4.6 Billion Years Old (And Costs £8 Million)
Hello Listers How much would you pay for a meteorite? Well I guess in China meteorite they are worth millions when it comes to ordinary chondrite.

What about if we told you it's 4.6 billion years old - about as ancient as the Earth and came from space? That would probably bump the price up a little. But still not quite as high as the owners want for it...

According to Zhang Baolin, an expert at Beijing Planetarium, it's about the same age as the Earth and is worth millions to the right buyer. source http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/01/07/meteorite-8-million-pound_n_4554070.html __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Chinese Meteorite Is 4.6 Billion Years Old (And Costs £8 Million)
Hi listoids, No fall on April 2009registred in Met Bull, i.e. it's a new fall 17 Million £ per kilo not bad. That's around 20 000 $ per gram. I love big figures, this one is a bit expensive for my budget, sorry for the seller, I'll keep my cash for more weathered stones ;-), falls are really out of reach this 2014!

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
Happy Birthday to the Beni M'Hira meteorite ! Today we celebrate the 13th anniversary of the most important recovered and witnessed fall of 2001... As you maybe know, the Meteor-Center and WWMeteorites teams investigated, hunted, and mapped this interesting, forgotten for a decade, strewnfield during 5 different trips in Tunisia during the october 2012 - december 2013 period. Wefound over 190 meteorites (for a cumulate desert walk of more than 800 km !), including nice individuals, a few oriented ones. The map and data for each one have been published in our book, Beni M'Hira, the forgotten meteorite : http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/615396 After our last trip in early december 2013, with less finds this time, as expected after efficiently hunting the ellipse in the previous times, we decided to update our website with new specimens and some older from our lowered stock... http://www.beni-mhira.com/shop Most specimens will come with in situ pictures and the exact GPS data on the identification card.

Re: [meteorite-list] Chinese Meteorite Is 4.6 Billion Years Old (And Costs £8 Million)
It's probably not even a meteorite. Unless it's been analyzed by a reputable lab and submitted for classification in the Met Bulletin, then it's not a meteorite. It is a *suspected* meteorite. Basically, it's a rock until somebody microprobes it and proves otherwise. -- - Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/galacticstone - On 1/8/14, Shawn Alan photoph...@yahoo.com wrote: Hello Listers How much would you pay for a meteorite?

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
All, I've been meaning to write in for some time to say how much I've enjoyed the book and the pieces I have purchased. I love this sort of package - the pictures, maps and the stones in hand! Thanks again for this effort! And I hope to have some time this week to check out the new additions. It would be nice if the authors are able to come to Tucson this year... Happy hunting, and best wishes, Mark B. Vail, AZ P.S. safe travels to all the attendees this year!

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
Thanks a lot Mark for your kind comment, it’s appreciated. Yes, it was our goal to publish a complete study when we hunted in this strewn field. As more and more stones came, we decided to take all GPS points, do most of time in-situ photos and publish a book. I’m afraid we can’t come to Tucson this year but I wish to go there next year probably.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
Whenever I see these birthday wishes for meteorites, I can't help but to think that they represent what was a very bad day for an asteroid or meteoroid, minding its own business for millions or even billions of years and then, suddenly, nearly destroyed, reduced to a few burned fragments.
