Dear Listees,
I?m currently trying to track a piece of the Mazapil Iron. It?s a medium octaedrite
that fell on 27th November 1885 at Zacatecas, Mexico. TKW was 4 kg.
It was the same night that the Andromedid meteor shower underwent a spectacular
outburst. The simultaneity of these two events

Hello all,
I see there is an Ebay auction today for a metal-rich diogenite for about $30/g. I
thought with the last go around with NWA 1827, 1879 and 1882 that a metal rich
diogenite did not exist and that these were all classified as MES-C's that sell
for about $10 to $25/g, depending on the

According to the scientists at NAU (Wittke, Bunch), this is a metal-rich

They're nothing alike. One is a mesosiderite with abundant opx
inclusions, and the other is a diogenite with an abundance of free
metal. (plus I believe whatever NAU says :)

Hi Bernd, Maria and all the other 869-er loving collectors,
NWA 869 ist one of the most beautiful meteorites for me. That means
the interior of that meteorite. It has so many different inclusions
and surprises in it.
I want to share with you my favourite pieces of NWA 869 in my collection:
One
Very nice meteorite, was scuttled out of Mexico a long time ago and now resides at
Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, I believe. Here's a nice view of Mazapil. (All

The timeline proposed for Lafayette showed a lineage that
began around 700 million years ago on Mars, when some
saline began to seep into it and change the rock's mineral
content. About 11 million years ago, the fragment blasted

Well, BIG blunder mea culpa for exciting everyone about seeing conditions for Toutatis

It turns out the Harvest Moon perfectly coincides with Toutatis's passage. That
