[meteorite-list] Begaa

2011-06-19 Thread Don Giovanni


Hello,

Wondering if anyone can fill in some blanks about Begaa.  It was popularly  
bought and sold several years ago (and with good reason, gorgeous LL3!
Unofficially, anyways).


But I can't find any reference in the Meteoritical Bulletin.  Not even as  
a synonym, so I'm thinking it must not be just a name-change deal,  
NWA-, ect.   Eric Twelker's Meteorite Market online site offers a  
tantalizing tidbit,  It was reportedly bypassed by the scientific  
community because of disputes with the finders.  It was found in 1999, so  
there has surely been more than enough time for this to be officially  
recognized, if it was ever going to be.  And a quick search of the  
met-list archives showed a number of sale-postings, but not the story I'm  
looking for, unless I missed something.  Same with a google search.


Can any listers can offer any insights as far as the untold story on  
this beauty?  Juicy gossip preferred.  :)

Begaa = NWA 4910

...a long story for a fine meteorite to get an official name...
(Details are to be found elsewhere, regarding juicy gossip, and
not here, sorry :-))

[meteorite-list] Begaa LL3

2006-02-28 Thread AstronomicalResearchNetwork
My Friends 
   When I need to relax I go into my Lab and pick out a 
nice chondrite and take a slice to examine . A couple of days 
ago I did just that and turned up this beautiful  slice  LL3 
There is a link to it on my home page on the right side labeled 
  Looks like a new LL3 preview look  !!

   Thanks Ken Regelman
