Hi Bob,
nice images of the *rock garden*!
i am still trying to see which one of the images show the meteorites.
You seemed to forget to describe for us where to look for them! :-)
Sternengruss, Moni
ps. i remember you sending this along with the Nevada Meteorite Picture of
the Day.

John:
For starters read the article at the bottom of the page here..

This may help you see why and how things got "strange" with this rock.

Hi All,
On the subject of met hunting, Dave P. replied to my remark:
Matson: "If you want to reduce search time per (cold) meteorite
find (i.e. non-strewnfield), the #1 factor is "survival time" --
you must maximize it any way you can:

List members,
I'll respond to my own thread by going one step further...recognizing that
eucrites and terrestrial basalts are chemically about the same. However,
looking at the few eucrites I have, they are much finer grained and less
colorful than the Putorana basalt. The plagioclase needles a
Hi, Rob,
Actually, I seem to recall that Phil Bland at the Natural History
Museum in London (formerly called The British Museum and always will be
in my head) did a study doing terrestial age-dating all the meteorites
from several given areas, just to get the age distribution and a figure

Steve and others,
A few months ago I posted a thread to the list that basically said that while
the Putorana looks like a mesosiderite...that when I compared it to Vaca
Muerta in thin section, they look nothing alike at all. Plain and simple the
Putorana looks like the basalt that it has been i
Just wondering who owns these areas you "cold hunters" are searching? Are areas like the Gold Basin and Bonneville Salt Flats publicly owned or do you make arrangements with individual land owners?

Hello all-
I am gearing up to run some PF thin sections on eBay and I have one without

Matteo,
Thank You for remembering and commenting on the national tragedy that
happened two years ago. No one here has forgotten it still is a sad day for
many of us.
I live in a Chicago suburb and many people here are conducting fundraisers
benefiting the people who lost so many in New Y

Over the past several weeks I've had the opportunity

Hi All
I am looking for a big (and affordable) NWA 869 slice.
Any one who want to sell me one ?

Hello List, How much can a meteorite move? Kingman's old airfield used
the outskirts of kingman as a shooting range during WW2 and I asked the
airfield museum how many 50 caliber bullets they shot on this range. The
airfield museum curator did not remember the exact number, but he remembered

Interesting comments.
However I am not sure somebody still knows where exactly that well was sunk.
Esquel was supposed to be found back in 1951 (ref.: "Meteorites from A to
Z"). I know the finder kept the piece for long years before he made it
expertized as meteorite and again it took him e

Well put, given the potential value of a massive chunk of Esquel I am

I believe Mark is perfectly right by saying that most meteorites are lying
below the soil surface.
I did not make any compiling but I guess if you go through all the Met.
Bull's reporting meteorite FINDS, I am pretty sure that about (at least ?)
half of them were found through plowing some field. N

Dear
I suspect most meteorites bury themselves on impact to just below the
surface in soft sand/dirt so, I think the rate of 'soil covering' will
make the difference, a dry desert soil is generally eroded away by winds
to reveal them, and somewhere like tropical Britain (well this year at
least!) has
