We had the pleasure of working with Carl Agee today and removed two research samples from NWA 7034. I posted some additional photos of Black Beauty on our Facebook page that many are "liking". Please have a look at them here: http://www.facebook.com/KerfIndustries Sincerely, Matt Morgan

Re: [meteorite-list] MBale

Quoting Edwin Thompson : The story we were told back in 92 was that the solders broke up the stones because they were told there might be silver and gold in the stones from the sky. Greetings Edwin and list, If I remember right, in my Sky and Telescope article that I read back then, it was

I have to agree, the Challenger Space Center is a wonderful experience. I live a across the street and my daughter belongs to an aerospace club that regularly attends the center. I was able to go there when we had the eclipse and several people had telescopes set up to view it as well as glasse

Re: [meteorite-list] Met List updating was Mbale TKW

That is one garbage pile I would gladly roll up my sleeves and dig through. So here is a question, there is more research to be done, but already a good bit has been completed. We know of EL3, EL6, fine grained and coarse grained URE, Bencubinitte, EL3/4, EL4/5, and others I am sure I am overloo

Re: [meteorite-list] Met List updating was Mbale TKW

Yes, but... The study of Almahata Sitta is nowhere near finished. Prof. Bischoff at the University of Muenster is studying each and every fragment one at a time, that is how he discovered that one fragment was a Bencubbinite. But he has more fragments to go thru. No way to guess what e

Re: [meteorite-list] Met List updating was Mbale TKW

This is probably for Jeff Grossman but I am curious as to the process for updating details of a meteorite in the bulletin.  A TKW is one that is commonly encountered.  In the case where a follow on researcher reclassifies  the meteorite based on a different mineralogy in a second specimen afte

Re: [meteorite-list] Met List updating was Mbale TKW

Elton, Timely question because this specific issue came to mind regarding Almahata Sitta.  AMH has many unique classifications depending on the stone that is/was being analyzed. I think the word used has been "rubble pile", but keeping track of the weights and unique classifications would be of

Hi Linton, looking forward to seeing you and Karen in Tucson this year. When MBale fell in 1992, Cornelius Baijens was in Uganda with a dutch survey group. Cor recovered the bulk of material that was brought out of Uganda. For a couple of years after the fall Cor actively sold specimens and a

Re: [meteorite-list] Mbale TKW

Hi Mendy, You are perfectly right, this is not an exact weight (200-250 kg is indeed just a range). I don't have that paper but this is part of the summary I got. But it is clear that this figure is just deriving from a (here "breakup") model. I am sorry for my misleading word "update". B

Re: [meteorite-list] Mbale TKW

Zelimir, The paper below is estimating what could possibly have hit the ground, right? TKW is an estimate or sometimes an exact weight of what has actually been found. These two are potentially very different numbers. So, it is not the TKW that should be updated. Can you clarify? Regards, Men
