[meteorite-list] Paleo Meteorite
Hi Steve and List, NWA 2828 has the pebbles that helped to classify this Paleometeorite. Here is a link to one of the slices I had that illustrates this occurrence including a few other photos of NWA 2828: NWA 2828 EL3: Photograph of a 24.9g NWA 2828 slice with rhyolite pebble (image 1): http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa2828/nwa2828pebble.jpg Photograph of magnified radial pyroxene chondrule (image 2): http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa2828/nwa2828chondrule.jpg Photograph of magnified whitish enstatite-rich clast (image 3): http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa2828/nwa2828clast.jpg Photograph of a 14.3g complete slice of NWA 2828 (image 4): http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa2828/nwa2828slice.jpg I have plenty of the Blue material, a List member in the recent past posted that this may be aubrite material but chondrules were found there too, sorry. So far, NWA 4799 is the first and only true aubrite from Northwest Africa! Here are some links to this Truly amazing Aubrite. Do not forget that when I announced NWA 4799 that I also offered a 100% Money Back Guarantee that it will remain classified as an Aubrite. I believe this is important because of the NWA 2828 reclassification to EL3 and the beliefs of some who think the pairings to NWA 2828 are aubrites: NWA 4799 True Aubrite: Image of 26.7 gram polished half of largest stone: http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa4799/nwa4799a.jpg Image of large whitish enstatite grains at 26x magnification: http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa4799/nwa4799c.jpg Image of large enstatite grain and veins of goethite from alteration of metal at 20x magnification (lower left shows small metal grain): http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa4799/nwa4799d.jpg Image of large enstatite grains at 32x magnification: http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa4799/nwa4799e.jpg Enjoy!

Matt Morgan I dont think that Paleo is a proper way to describe them as these meteorites are not paleolithic. Paleolithic is an era starting just before mesolithic (13,000 or somewhere around that years ago - I cant remember exactly) going back to the dawn of man which is around 2.5 million years ago. Well there is dispute when the first man showed up but it certainly wasnt 110 million years ago like the Lake murrey paleo meteorite which is a Cretaceous meteorite - not a paleolithic one. Relic, which has also been used is a much better word to describe these meteorites. Cheers DEAN www.meteoriteshop.com __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi Dean and List Dean, I do agree. Paleo-anything has an anthropomorphic connotation about it. Relic has a manmade feel to it. Fossil denotes something once extent, now dead and what we have are it's mineralized bones and traces. Prius means before, maybe that would be less of a problem.
