Hi Michael and List,
Pity that three pieces of nantans (57, 58, 59) were
sold for just 2.5 cent per gram, much cheaper than any
other meteorites. I don't know whether it's cheaper
than a piece of pure iron. Wondering why we still call
them meteorites since they are equal to meteowrongs

It sold cheap because Nantan is a well know ruster. Garbage in my book.

Any idea what caused the reddish curved scuff marks on the surface? They look
to be post-fall.

Hi Ma and all,
I believe they sold cheaply because of the recent history of this
particular fall:
1) Several (actually, many) years ago a very few American Dealers
bought up a huge supply of Nan-Tans ranging I quality from
exquisite irons with their internal matrix of Widmenschtaten

Hi all,
especially Marcin Cimala and Mike Farmer and any other members knowing about

are there any new facts and a final classification of this fall from Burkina
Faso in November 2003 ?
Did anybody spend 20 grams for classification ?

I picked up a nice piece of Akwanga in Tucson, but the class is listed
as H. Anyone have additional info on this meteorite?
That is all that is listed in the C of M as well.

Dear List,
I was looking at Mike`s website and he has many very
nice meteorites and photographs. There is one in

the fusion crust. Have a look.

Christian, it was submitted to Dr Bunch just after the
fall. I have discussed it with Ted many times with no
result. He classified it, but seems to have lost the
information. I can not seem to do much more at this
point. I will contact him again later this week.

The Chicago vernacular can be difficult. Add Steves personal way of
