Thanks for bringing Lucas' catalog to our attention Mark. I wasn't aware of this
interesting work until you mentioned it.
As far as early ctalogs exclusively featuring meteorites are concerned, you may
also find Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni's meteorite catalog
interesting. Chladni published

Wouldn't the head of the Kamil expedition, Dr. Luigi Folco, be the qualified
authority to comment on the photos he and his team produced on the site? I asked
him whether the two photos show two different finds or the same 83 kg mass.
The effects of sand abrasion (corrasion) and chemical weathering (corrosion) of
objects on a desert surface, apart from other factors, depend considerably on
the texture and composition of the original surface, but also on the dimensions
and the depth to which an object is buried in the soil.

soil in each photo, it is *completely* undisturbed. Neither one of
those irons was moved before the photos were taken.

Ladies gentlemen,
I have been offered two superior collection pieces which are beyond my own
acquisition capabilities, and which I would like to make available to other
curators/collectors. Additionally I’d like to take the opportunity to offer a
meteorite from my own inventory.
The first
Good evening everybody,
recently I've been so lucky as to acquire some fragments of Mount Tazerzait, one
of the very few highly porous L5 chondrites. I thought I'd take the occasion and
compile a brief illustrated feature on this spectacular material:

Although I never met Mbarek in person I regret the loss of a true companion of

Hi Darryl,
at the risk this was already mentioned in a previous post:

Ed, Count and list,
I'd like to second the count's and Ed'd considerations regarding numbering your
specimens. Of course most private collectors recognize their individual
meteorites. Mix ups are not so much a problem during one's lifetime. At least
not unless we don't start to juggle with a
Thats awesome news Darryl, my sincere congrats.
As Matthias already pointed out, if this iron was not from space, where else
could a mass so enigmatic and so utterly different in appearance come from? I
appreciate the fact that its extraterrestrial origin has been confirmed now.

Thrilling find story, great in situ coverage, and an epic specimen indeed.
Thanks for sharing.

Terrible news, very hard to acknowledge.
People like Christian, and particularly him, made events like Munich and
the Ensisheim show such a great experience. Such an open minded, enthusiatic and
delightful person he was, I can not imagine anybody who did not like him.
So many hillarious summer
Thank you for the new evaluation Darryl.
Although this is a regrettable development one must not forget that you took
the initial risk of acquiring such exotic material, which alone is a
remarkable achievement. I very much hope that this experience does not
discourage you to venture similar
That's actually a good question Mark, and you are certainly not alone with that
request.
My first choice for public domain photos of Meteorites would be NASA's photo
archive. If you haven't checked it yet I highly recommend a visit:

One really wonders if this approach offers sufficcient incentive to initiate

Hi Glenn, others,
You may try working with full spectrum daylight lamps. They emit a spectrum very
similar to natural sunlight. By using two, or even better three lamps, you will
be able to avoid hard cast shadows. In combination with dimmers you may simulate
every daylight situation experienced

Ladies gentlemen,
as I pointed out last week I currently have the rare pleasure to offer a small
number of outstanding meteorites from my personal collection. You'll find a

Dear fellow collectors,
A week ago I announced to a few of you that in the process of funding a new
project I had to offer two quite exclusive specimens from my collection. When I
uploaded these specimens together with a couple of others on ebay I was met a
wave of support and encouragements.
