Hi Jeff,
Thank you very much for your explanation of Kem Kem and the NomCom approving
the NWA designation because of all the confusion and the situation of all
the meteorites coming out of the region.
Thank you for mentioning that you and NomCom decided on A Generic Term
Northwest Africa,
Jeff,
Thanks again for your time and for bringing more light to the subject of the
origination of the names, NWA and Kem Kem. You mentioned about where the Kem
Kems went to and I forgot to mention that I have a piece of Kem Kem that I
purchased back when Planet Brey meteorites got specimens
Hi List,
To bring a little more confusion to the Kem-Kem issue, here is
another story.
It deals with a meteorite found in South Morocco in 1998 (31°7'N /
5°11'W), thus at a time the generic NWA designation did not exist.
That one stone weighing 1088 g was found by Michel Franco and,
Aloha,
I received preliminary analysis results from Drs Jeff Taylor and Gary
Huss of the University of Hawaii HIGP, of a submitted NWA achondrite
that I suspected could be a lodranite. Dr Taylor used the institute's
uRaman spectrometer to obtain spectra of the iridescent mineral, and
Hey, can anyone with info on the GA meteorite event sat send me an email off

I am on my way back from FL today (as I type) and may stay over for the event
and check it out.
Thanks,

That is really interesting. It has always amazed me how different some
minerals appear (luster and crystal form) in space rocks. Not to mention
minerals not even found in terrestrial rocks. That is one reason I enjoy this
hobby so much.
Congratulations on your specimen.

So far there are NWA 001, 052, 753 755 with the pseudonym of Kem Kem.
Anymore? should be at least one more with a H5(?) classification (Brian
Cox/PlanetBrey),but probably many more. Interesting topic.

Aloha Jeff and Zelimir,
Mahalo for the history lesson on Kem Kem. It was both informative and
interesting, and provides insight into meteorite hunting in pre-NWA
days.

Hello Carl and All,
I think the real question here should be if all of the classified
NWA/KemKem meteorites you mentioned (NWA 001, 052, 753 755) are even
paired. I do not think any scientist would currently check these out
personally and compare them, just being a chondrite and all. I think
Hi Gary,
Thanks for giving us more information on Kem Kem and NWAs. It's always good
to hear from so many bright people that have knowledge to share so myself
and others can learn more.
Your photomicrographs of your NWA are beautiful. I'm anxious to hear more
about it and that would be great
Luckily, no kids were injured by ricocheting rocks this time!

Stovepiping is a colorful term, even with political connotations. For
