Hello Michael, Jason, Mirko and List, Attached to my private mails you'll find a photo of the Zacatecas 1792 iron from the Buchwald trilogy! Reference: BUCHWALD V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 2, p. 1364. Regards, Bernd To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Cc:

Re: [meteorite-list] Zacatecas 1792

Well that looks practically nothing like the piece on ebay, even given the fact that the scale is clearly far larger in that image. The brain-like schreibersite in the ebay auction is a fairly uncommon occurrence in irons, and I see no similar inclusions in that large section. Also, the pattern

Hello Mike, Indeed, that's not a piece of the more common Zacatecas (1969). See here; that iron is clearly recrystallized: http://www.nyrockman.com/museum/zacatecas-1462.htm While I haven't been able to find a picture of the etch of the Zacatecas (1792) iron, I was able to find this picture of

Re: [meteorite-list] Zacatecas (1792) on ebay

Thanks Jason, Don Edwards has a photo in the encyclopedia of meteorites, but it is not very clear. I was trying to decide if it was the re-crystalized 1969 Zacatecas or the 1792 one. I'm inclinded to think it is the 1792 Zacatecas, but there is room for confusion.
