Hello All,
There has been some confusion generated - the result of poor terminology and
semantics.
Hopefully, this image may help clear-up some of that misunderstanding:

Hi All,
The ebay seller (sorens-stuff) revised their listing 2/10. Their
solution is to remove the incriminating photo of the steelhorse1984 Mars
display from their listing and to keep on selling without indicating the
source of their material so as to cover up the issue. I wrote them again
I went to Portugal after the fall, got nearly 10 kg, 99% of what was ever sold,
and sold nearly all at $10 gram.
Anyone selling at $1 gram is either losing their shirt (easy on eBay) or
pulling a scam.
You decide which. Adam, stick with alien crap, you are clearly out of the
meteorite loop
I have 2 small part slices of Ourique: $10 - $12 a gram.
One has a bit of crust.
Do you want them back Michael?

I bought a chunk for $1.12/gram from a reputable dealer on eBay over two years

In any case, I do not collect falls partly because there is a lot of fraud

Hello Graham,
I purchased that stone several months ago, corresponded briefly with
the seller, sent the money, and never heard back. Paypal refunded the
full amount ~40-45 days later, after I filed a case.

Hello All,
In all fairness, that Ourique does look ~ok. H-chondrites with
similar regolith textures are around, but not common, and those pieces
look fresh enough.
The Chaves does look a bit funny, but it's also very small. If the
seller says the specimen came from Corey, I'd double-check with
If this were caused by a high shock event like a meteor strike, then there
should be evidence in the form of shatter cones, shocked quartz crystals etc.
In addition, there should be Iridium enrichment.

Hi,
Searching the Internet, I found that this landform has a
number of names by which it is known. They include the
“Eagle Nest,” “Patomsky Crater,” and “Patom Cone.” I like
“Patom Cone” because it is nongeneric as to its origin.
I found one paper about the Patom Cone that argues it to

Bingo, a pingo!
Of course, none of the pingoes I can
find pictures of have the exact peculiar
shape of the Patomskiy crater. But they
do have similar but varied shapes, of
which this could easily be one more
variation.
No evidence of any kind of meteoritic

Yeah. Same here, Mark. In fact, I wasn't able to make it to Tucson at all.
