Dear List Members,
I have a special set of auctions running this week. I am offering historical
items from the Nininger/Huss estate. Dr. H.H. Nininger is considered the
Father of Modern Meteoritics and anything associated with him is aggressively
sought after by collectors. You will see
For the Star Wars lover in you.
This story has everything you could possibly want. Star Wars, space,
Chewbacca, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Storm troopers and a
Canyon Diablo meteorite wedding ring with the inscription May the 4th
be with you. Now how cool is that?! ;)

This should be sold as a collection IMHO. Maybe the Kansas Meteorite
Museum. What about the Crater Museum? You would think they would want
it. If they don't have the funding to purchase, maybe you could trade
it for hunting privileges? Just a thought...

Hi Paul:
We actually talked about this at asteroid lunch yesterday! The case
against a tsunami is that there is no other evidence anywhere along the US

I have in my collection several odd very thick vesicular fusion crusts, about 3

These crusts are black with
