[meteorite-list] Cape York Provinance?
I recently obtained a nice brightly etched slab of Cape York. I know over the decades at least 8 larger pieces of this iron have been found and named, Ahnighito, Woman, Dog, Savik, Thule, Savik II, Agpalilik, Tunorput, in discovery order. I'm just curious if those Cape York that is available on the collector market came from a combination of these eight or if all the material available came from just a single one of these? If just one, which one?

Re: [meteorite-list] Wisconsin Slices - Best Available - AD
Hi Darryl, Beautiful specimens and love the crystal cube---but the real reason I'm writing is to applaud your perseverance. Best/ d, Thank you for the nice comments. I am not known to give up, and often keep going until I drop. Kudos should go to all who were out there trudging through the countryside, making discoveries or weeding out areas with no meteorites. ;-) Huge kudos and Thanks to all who helped behind the scenes as well, without their input, the recovery of Wisconsin's meteorite fall over the 'Iowa-Grant Counties' would have been a completely different story with less stones being recovered. And of course, an even bigger Thank You go to all of the wonderful land owners who gave permission to us all and put up with the circus-like atmosphere created by the fall, as one of my new Livingston friends called it. :-) Best regards, Greg Greg Hupe The Hupe Collection NaturesVault (eBay) gmh...@htn.net www.LunarRock.com IMCA 3163 Click here for my current eBay auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZnaturesvault - Original Message - From: Darryl Pitt dar...@dof3.com To: Greg Hupe gmh...@htn.net Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 6:09 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Wisconsin Slices - Best Available - AD Beautiful specimens and love the crystal cube---but the real reason I'm writing is to applaud your perseverance. Best/ d, On May 11, 2010, at 4:41 PM, Greg Hupe wrote: Dear List Members, After nearly three weeks of hunting time in the Wisconsin strewnfield, I managed to find two meteorites with a combined weight of just 64 grams. During my second trip to WI, I met with Joe Kerchner and purchased a thick 42-gram slice (54mm x 35mm x 5-8mm) from his 332-gram find. I sent it to have thin slices made on a wire saw and just received them from the cutter. One word to describe these slices, Wow! The cost and cut loss was well worth the effort as it makes for some outstanding parallel-cut slices with a generous surface area-to-weight ratio, which displays the awesome brecciation of this meteorite, something the tiny fragments and part slices being offered do not display. Each slice will be shipped in a 100mm x 75mm membrane box. I have just six slices and a gem jar of fragments. I am offering these on a Best Offer basis (No Trades, please), and if accepted, I will notify the person with the highest offer. I will include three newspapers with articles of the fall and recovery efforts. The 'scale cube' in the photos measures 1cm on visible sides (not included) and is a Galena crystal (lead sulfide) I collected from a road cut on Highway 151 in Mineral Point, a stone's throw from the strewnfield.

[meteorite-list] Kainsaz CO3 Individual - Crusted Mt. Tazerzait - 14 kg Gibeon - AD
Ladies gentlemen, I have been offered two superior collection pieces which are beyond my own acquisition capabilities, and which I would like to make available to other curators/collectors. Additionally I’d like to take the opportunity to offer a meteorite from my own inventory. The first specimen is a fusion crusted 340 g individual of the Kainsaz CO3.2 carbonaceous chondrite which fell near Muslyumovo, Tartastan on September 13, 1937. The specimen was found in April this year and is one of only two pieces found within the last two years. It was recovered from a depth of 12 cm in the central part of the strewnfield. Although Kainsaz is a historic fall and one of only six CO3s which have been seen to fall, the owner priced it at just 25 USD/g. Photos including an in situ shot can bee seen here: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/images/Kainsaz_340g%20.pdf The second meteorite is a crusted 1.8 kg fragment of the L5 chondrite Mount Tazerzait, a witnessed fall from August 21, 1991 from the Republic of Niger. In contrast to most other chondrites the highly porous material underwent very little compaction and rather resembles a pyroclastic welded rock, much like Baszkowka. Mount Tazerzait has been extensively studied. It is believed to represent material resulting from gravitationally induced accretion of a hot cloud of debris on the surface of an asteroid following the collision of two planetesimals. The price is 1.9 USD/g Some photos may be found here: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/images/Mount_Tazerzait_1.8%20kg.pdf The third specimen is a heavily sculpted 14.7 kg Gibeon iron meteorite with deep regmaglypts and uncleaned natural patina. A side note for the art connoisseurs: this meteorite was part of the installation “Cloud Paintings” by Sigmar Polke displayed by the NY based art gallery Michael Werner on the art basel in 2009. The price for this exceptional display piece is 490 USD/kg. Please view some photos here: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/images/Gibeon_14kg%20.pdf Thanks for your interest, have a great day!

[meteorite-list] Regarding WI Hunting Stats
List, I've enjoyed reading the preliminary hunting stats for the Wisconsin stones. Just as many other members had done, I previously sent my basic stats to Rob Matson for inclusion in his first go at getting the total weight and number of stones to date tally. I just now sent my more detailed and broader-scope stats to Eric, as I hope many others have as well. I'm sure we are all looking forward to his upcoming compilation results. A few members have mentioned their estimation that it took about 100 miles of walking to find each stone (at least for them). As I look over my numbers, I find that in THAT regard, I did a little better. I found my 1st stone after only about 3 hrs searching, and maybe 5 miles walking. Over all for my 2 stones, I averaged 16hrs of hunting, and ~ 30 miles walking for each one. BUT. I didn't do very well at all in total weight found, since my finds only weighed 3.2g and 11.8g, or 15g total. And unfortunately, when it comes to meteorite finding,. size DOES tend to matter. ;-) Best, Robert Woolard __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

I'm interested in including small collections if they are a specialty, such as only meteorites only from that country, state or province, or very rare types that can't be seen anywhere else. Even if you don't have other collections to suggest, feedback is always appreciated.

Re: [meteorite-list] Public Meteorite Collections - Google Earth Correction
Correction: many thanks TO you I would be a hopeless proof reader, that's for sure. Hi Richard, many thanks you for the work you've done on the Google file. It is a great idea and much appreciated.

I have included a few smaller collections too. http://fullmoonphotography.net/images/Meteorites/Public_Meteorite_Collections_V3.kmz http://tinyurl.com/2eod6rq I started this project some time ago (over a year) but other things came to the front of the line and it had been put off. Researching a little bit on Cape York revealed two others I hadn't included in the original unfinished version, so I added them and uploaded the file to my website. I have also uploaded a GPS version to the POI Factory website for people who use GPSr units in their vehicle. This version has not gone live yet. When it does I'll post that url too. If anyone knows of any must see public collections that I missed. Let me know.
