Hi Greg,
many thanks for the congrats!
Of course, 34 years Antarctic campaigns and only 2 different aubrites found
there; 20 years Sahara and 10 years Oman, also only 2 different aubrites...
But not only due this absurd rareness, that little stone is in our internal
VIP-meteorite-ranking
HI ALL,
please enjoy this gem , a nice green crystal inside vein es,
this is probably a new aubrite, found different place from elhagounia and has
nothing to do it with the el3.

Hey Tom all,
As Tom mentioned, a page of very interesting reading has now been presented
on the NAU website. I agree with Tom... it's a great overview of the whole
situation and I too, highly recommend taking a look at it. And don't miss
the section towards the bottom titled Problems and

notorious arms smuggling company. I emailed the seller and told him that it is

Hi, Dean,
I'm sure someone will have the paper
It seems to me that there are at least four or five different things
that people may be trying to describe using various terms, including
fossil and paleo. 1) The original minerals in a meteorite may be

Here's an interesting link to a scientific draft about fossil meteorites:

obscure reasons.)

1. Actually the paleometeorite is not magnetic, it is
so old, thus the name Fossil meteorite that there is
no metal left to cause it to be magnetic.
2. So you do not care that it is not a Aubrite, you
just whine that the prices are low. Funny (after you

Is it just possible that this is a fragment of the

If so, many more kilos could be sold at a fraction of
your price. It would be a great service to your
buyers to have the classification finalized before
selling something

I am NOT a meteorite dealer and rarely sell any

To much the price? How many aubrites its available in

The high degree of weathering, subparallel oxide veins and relic chondrules
suggest it may be the same EL6/7 material that has surfaced recently. I

It may become the first EL Metachondite but I think relic
chondrules would disqualify it as such.
Nope, Ted said that a few relic chondrules in a huge pile of rock wouldnt
disqualify it as a metachonderite. Afterall there are winonaite are
metachondrites and can be chock full o' chondrules..
Hey Adam,
If different types of material from a single PB forms a metamorphic

for these different groupings; e.g., chondrite, metachondrite, primitive
achondrite, achondrite, stony-iron, iron. I have not yet seen the
