great post and references! With the high heat and lack of water I have wondered
if some melt glass may actually be the case for material from Mercury. And did
Mercury form on its own or was it knocked off earth at the same time the moon
was? If Mercury was once part of earth its isotopes from

Hello Greg, other IMCA Members and List,
Greg, most of us who who have an interest in collecting and/or selling
meteorites know you. I personally admire the energy and time you put into
marketing your inventory, establishing a museum and conducting educational
outreach programs, but as regards
Hi Folks!
This ad is of special interest to type collectors. I have 2 new
offerings of very rare types not often seen on the market.
First, there is NWA 6287, a rare L/LL5. This meteorite was bought

Irving said this
Hi Count, Greg and List,
As a non-member but avid meteorite-freak, here is my two centavos -
I agree with what the Count says about the IMCA's stated purpose.
There is clearly little or no mention of the IMCA being an activist
group to promote an agenda.
But, I can also understand what Greg is
The International Meteorite Collectors Association (IMCA Inc.) has one primary
purpose: helping Meteorite Collectors in their search for Authentic Meteorites
for their collections and assisting others in helping to learn more about
meteorites. Whether they are new to the Meteorite World or

Hey Greg, I agree with you on the museum idea, however, the comment
about the museum and the Meteorite Men, is not entirely accurate.
The Meteorite Men is a show about meteorite hunting, collecting and
value, the science, and of course centers around the adventure. You're
assuming in your
Hello Listers,
I have some great historic and rare meteorites ending in the next couples days
on eBay and also have some great meteorites I would like to feature for the
week. Here is a chance to own some rare and historic meteorites that will set

I love the Meteorite Men TV show, its a great way to get meteorites out into
the public attention on a mainstream level. I actually even tried to help
promote it with one of my websites. Its a great thing and I never would make it
seem like a bad thing.
The museum will be very interactive and
Dear Involved,

it was designed for. Thank you. Dirk Ross...Tokyo

Tooday I finally can present my new eucrite. This specimen was very special,
becouse for the first time I was not sure if I hold eucrite or earthrock in
my hands. Very fragile, with rusty spots like in earth granite, but it
comes from space.
Crazy rock!

It's about 70mm long and roughly triangular cross-section (38 x 38 x

Hey Rob,
Very nice idea you had incorporating local materials into your 3-D

Hi, Walter, List
The chief proponent of tektites as ejecta from
lunar volcanoes was John O'Keefe (d. 2000).
Of course Nininger thought of the idea, too,
but neither of them was the first.
The chief expert on lunar glass and tektite analysis
is B. P. Glass, yes, his name is BILLY GLASS. This
