[meteorite-list] Amgala versus Zag

2004-03-14 Thread Adam Hupe
Hello All, At first glance Amgala is somewhat similar looking to Zag although there are noticeable differences between the two. I do not believe Amgala is going to classify as a regolith breccia but rather a polymict breccia. Unlike Zag, no type 3 areas have been identified. Two laboratories

Adam, Thanx for the update and supporting information for the cost basis. As I said, this fall sure looks a lot like Zag to me in many ways. I did some more visual comparisons and of course my untrained eye cannot see these differences when looking at just one one stone's(less than 20 grams)

As for polymict versus regolith breccia ... can these two terms be interchangeable? A polymict breccia is made up of clasts/fragments of different materials probably caused by a impact mixing, while a regolith breccia implies a breccia formed at the surface with a mixture of different

Hi John, It will be interesting to see the lab results. I wish we would have had more time to prepare for the release of this new material but mounting costs and competition forced us to put it on the market prematurely in order to protect our considerable investment. As was the case for Park

Dear Bernd, John and List members, I thought one distinction made for a regolith breccia is that there are signs of crystal damage caused by the solar winds. In Zag and Howardites I believe this shows up as darker areas. I also read somewhere that Zag has four lithologies. No such crystal

So Adam, you love to do that, say things without saying specific names. Yet you whined about other dealers selling meteorites before they were classified. I wonder who else was selling Amgala? I can't think of anyone but you and myself, so I wonder who you might have meant, I nor any of the other
