humhem,
don't want to sound cheekily, but the fall of a new meteorite is a joyful
event and not a calamity or a disgrace..
Isn't it?
Well, can't understand the public poison in that debate about the new fall,
just a little patience and then we'll see, what had happened, what has been
found ect.
Good Points Martin. I can not wait to see photos of the area where this
meteorite fell. The Atlas Mountans sound like an exotic location for a new
fall.

Listoids,
Today I was lucky to see 2 1/2 kilos of the New Fall Tichka.
Indeed, as mentioned before, these are only fragments, some with crust, most
without.
They also are indeed a bit weathered but not worth to mention though. I'll
try to post some pics later on.

Hi Ryan -
While among collectors falls fetch a premium, as they have a certain brand
name, I don't know if this will turn out to be true in the long run,
except for the most famous falls.
As to why falls should be seen in NWA, the innocent explanation would be

Hi Ryan,
it's because of the iron mountain in Atlas, which still has to be found and
which attracts with his magnetic field all iron-bearing lumps from space.
No. Take a World map, hold little Europe (forget a little bit about
Scandinavia),
hold it against that NWA region, Algeria, Mali, Niger,

Ok, now I am more confused by your ebay auction page.
You state that a small crater was formed, but a 35 kilo stone will not form a
small crater. If it smashed against the rocks, then there would be no crater of
any kind, as a 35 kilo stone would just turn to fragments and perhaps make a
mark

As you say my English is not perfect.
In French a crater (cratère) is a hole made by a meteorite even when it is very
small.
In this statement, I wanted to say that one of the two meteorites was found in
a hole.
The second meteorite hit a rocky wall which broke the stone in numerous

In light of recent topics including the 'new' Moroccan fall, I would like to

It is interesting, but I really think that the same amount of falls are
happening elsewhere, but Africa is a hodgepodge of wars and problems, and
meteorite falls are likely mostly ignored or just lost in the noise of Africa's
various crisis.
It can not be denied that these falls are real,
Greater awareness, less vegetation, higher population growth, less TV-sets
and worse programs, the grown mineral and fossils market/prospecting, darker
nights...
Who knows.
I wanted to say only to Ryan, that the number of recovered falls per surface
size isn't that out of the probability.
Interesting debate. Reminds me on the good old days of the Acedemie
Francaise, the days before Biot and Chladni, where scientists doubted the
accounts of local eyewitnesses on rocks falling from the skies for
sociological reasons.
As far as I am concerned, I still trust the people who
