Re: [meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill photos at ASU
Great pictures. Best I've seen yet. Looks like you removed the fusion crust to show the red interior. Or is the red part of the crust itself?

[meteorite-list] India Hammer Fall 22MAY2012
A meteorite fall occurred in the Katol area on afternoon of 22.05.2012 with a loud noise heard between 2.0 to 2.30 pm. Samples were collected from four localities in and around the Katol city. Samples collected are of stony meteorites with varying size, shape and dimensions with typical dark brown burnt surface. Compositionally these meteorites are dominated by silicates with little iron. There is very good chance of getting meteorite samples from other part of the Vidarbha area between Akola and Nagpur as huge sound with very bright and dazzling light has been noticed between Akola and Nagpur by many peoples in a stretch of around 150 km in ENEWSW direction. http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp/2012/05/katol-vidharbha-area-maharashtra-india.html Dirk Ross...Tokyo __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill photos at ASU
Hi Laurence and List, At first glance, the color-scheme of the matrix reminds me of Allende. But, where Allende has nice round complete chondrules, Sutter's Mill has chondrule fragments. It appears that the chondrules in SM have been altered or damaged through some process (maybe heat, aqueous, or shock?). Also - I really like that unknown collection iron from the 1800's. Nice etch on that one. :) Best regards, MikeG -- --- Galactic Stone Ironworks - MikeG Web: http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter: http://twitter.com/GalacticStone RSS: http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 --- On 5/26/12, Laurence Garvie lgar...@asu.edu wrote: I spent some time today photographing our Sutter's Mill meteorites.

[meteorite-list] AD - Sutter's Mill Micromounts, Meteorite-Hunting Maps (Canyon Diablo and others), Juancheng Whole Stone, and Micros Galore.
Hi Folks, I want to give everyone an update on the Sutter's Mill micromounts. When I first announced these, several sold right away and I quickly ran out of fragments. So I went to my source and purchased his very last fragments. So I now have a few more micromounts available if you missed the first announcement. There are only 3 remaining. I may have enough material to make a 4th specimen, but I won't know until I sit down and prepare the specimens. So there are 3 micros left for sure, and possibly a 4th. After this, I will be sold out for the forseeable future. If I get any more Sutter's Mill in the future, it won't be from the hammer stone like these. Of course, you can use your 20% discount coupon metlist at checkout. :) Sutter's Mill hammer stone micros - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/sutters-mill-super-rare-carbonaceous-meteorite-hammer-fall-micromount I also have several new (and large) topographical maps for well-known meteorite strewnfields. Some of these were printed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and some of them were made by the US Geological Survey. Some are topo maps, some are quadrangles, and some are specialized land-use maps. All of these would be ideal for reference or as part of a display. Quantities are limited on these.
