Re: [meteorite-list] Possible New BL Meteorite - Plus some other cutephotos
Dean You have the same as my NWA 2826 LL5 (aka NWA 2053 and many others) This is very good material, fresh, with many interesting inclusions, visible chondrules (thats why it should be LL5 not LL6) and very very large troilites (well visible on photos at rusty spots) -[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]- http://www.Meteoryty.pl marcin(at)meteoryty.pl http://www.PolandMET.com marcin(at)meteorite.pl http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM +48(607)535 195 [ Member of Polish Meteoritical Society ] Yesterday I sat down and did some cutting. I have a 3 kilo meteorite that looks somewhat like what I was selling as the affectionately nicknamed BL meteorite a couple years ago. I dont have any left to compare but if anybody has some take a look at this: http://www.ilovenewfoundland.com/ebay-photos/nwa4649.html This looks like it might be a more weathered BL.

On this webpage I also included a few other cute photos that I found while cutting yesterday that I thought somebody might like. Cheers DEAN Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.

The piece that I sent in for classification wasnt nearly as nice as the larger cut in my photo. I didnt realize that it was so nice until yesterday when I started cutting it up. If I had used a different sample I would probably have gotten the different classification. Sincerely DEAN Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.

I wanted to let everyone know to which family this sample belongs. LL6, LL5, not big difference, but more accurate in that case is LL5. Im alvays astonished how specimens of single find can show on the Morocco market for every several months/years. First was I think Mike's NWA2053 on 2003, then mine NWA2826 on 2004, then I remember Andi's oriented specimen around 2005-2006, and now this one at end of 2007. Also I think I have seen one small sample at Munich show. Thats never ending storry :) -[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]- http://www.Meteoryty.pl marcin(at)meteoryty.pl http://www.PolandMET.com marcin(at)meteorite.pl http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM +48(607)535 195 [ Member of Polish Meteoritical Society ] __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Possible New BL Meteorite - Plus some other cutephotos
Dean, It's too bad that we missed another chance to find out about those fine-grained inclusions that are so prominent in the original BL, NWA 1658. I see they aren't mentioned in the classifications of NWA 2826 or 2053 either. This week I will be sending several samples to Bathurst to try your new classification service on behalf of several collectors. One of these finds contains the occasional dual lithology piece. We will be providing an excellent cut and polished sample so that the research facility will be sure to include both in their classification.

I see they aren't mentioned in the classifications of NWA 2826 or 2053 either. Yeah, those things are odd. I almost feel like just getting a thin section of just one of those inclusions made and seeing what just that part would classify has. You always wish parts would be eucritic. My new big piece dont have much of them unfortunately though. Still a particularly interesting LL meteorite Cheers DEAN Never miss a thing.
