Enjoy!

Thanks for the Post Paul and Fred!
Very interesting that it was called a stony-iron probably just due to
the inclusions - and furthermore that all stony-irons rather than the
colorful olivine types were apparently called pallasites at that time
(1924?) and this isn't just an artifact on the

Sorry, but none of these are meteorites as far as I can tell!

Hi List,
In perusing through the latest additions to the Met Bulletin today, I
was reading the compositional data for NWA 6932 (iron, ungrouped). I
noticed that the gold (Au) content was listed at 1.49mg/g. Is this
sort of data as straight-forward as it appears, or is there more to it
that this
Oops, I was wrong.It would be
32,000gr / 1.49mg = 21475 mg
21,475/1000 = 21.475 gr
Right, anyone??

...so when we get tough going people will start melting down their
meteorites for precious metals.
Gold is currently US $50-$60/g.
The example you quoted of 0.15% gold, if true (sounds high, but why
not, are you sure they weren't micro grams being a factor of 1000 even
smaller than you say?)
1.49 mg per gram is one part in 671.
1/671 of 32 kg is 47.7 grams of gold.
There are 31 grams per troy ounce; gold
is priced in troy ounces; there are 1.537
troy ounces oif gold in that 32 kg, or
$2551.94 at today's (10/03/11) price.
Cost you more than that to extract it...

OK, I was right the first time...guess my math ain't that good

Hi Gang,
I was just curious about exactly how much gold is bound up inside a
meteorite with a higher than average content, like the one in this
example.
Personally, I share the same sentiment as most of you - it would be
heresy to destroy a meteorite to extract something that is available
here
Hello List, I have some very nice collection pieces on Ebay ending in less than
24 hours, a 196 gram NWA 2924 Mesosiderite, 237 gram Seymchan Pallasite, 58
gram NWA 4473 Diogenite, 65 gram NWA 5549 Silicated Iron, and a 16 gram NWA
2086 CV3. Here is a link to a list of the items.
I believe that would be 47.68 grams.

Hi Doug and List,
It sounded awfully high to me also, but what do I know? LOL
Quoted below is the text from the write-up. Notice, the gold content

Thanks.
According to Dr. Ehlmann the largest single Dimmitt was 8.9 kg, followed by
3.74kg, 3.46kg, and 2.35kg. These were the pieces cataloged by the Glenn
Huss. I have a 6.7kg stone that may turn out to be a Dimmitt, sold by Monning
to a collector in the 50's. We will see.

Hi Mike, Stuart and fellow astrochemisticists,
The Bulletin is not a peer reviewed place, it is just the world being
held on a few Atlas' shoulders who are nice enough to slave over it and
an occasional inaccuracy could happen. Perhaps it was an issue of
optical character recognition since

Who says the solar system is uniform and that this iron can't have a

On Earth you certainly have ore bodies that have significantly high
gold content (although much less than this meteorite) and then you
have areas with no gold at all. Why can't this
