This is really great. We have a few Indian meteorites in the collection. But I
hadn't realised how many there where until I saw them pinpointed on a map.
Many thanks

Dear List Members
I would like to bring to the attention of the list, news of a wonderful piece
of generosity. Mr Shawn A Rinoehl (who signs off as Shawn Alan) of Brooklyn,
NYC has very kindly donated a fragment of the High Possil meteorite which fell
near Glasgow, Scotland in April 1804. This

Top notch Shawn!

If we use the N from NWA instead of B, and the A from ALH, how about CANNS?
Or maybe we should just do the sensible thing and call them Martian
meteorites?

Hello all,
I have two historic rare Brazilian meteorite available for trade:
- Macau 0.368g slice. First Brazilian observed fall, 1836. Killed several
cattle (Catalogue of Meteorite, Monica Grady)
- Itapecuru-Mirim 0.943g fragment. 1879 fall. 2 Kg TKW.
Provenance is Brazilian National
Thankyou very much Shawn. Hope there are plans for display in Chambers St.
Did anything ever come of the following story I am wondering. Was it part
of the 1830 fall or did it turn out to be a new find or an m.w.?

Yes Jeff, maybe dropping the acronym and just calling them all Martian may be
the sensible thing.
After all, you don't want the general public SNCering at us, do ya?

Jeff,
Now that you are at NASA you can appreciate the perverse things people
do with words just to come up with a cool acronym. Making the new
Martian meteorite acronym even half way cool requires some drastic
measures, like giving NWA 7034 Basaltic Breccia Black Beauty a new
name based on
...or SNACS ? (close to snick, sometimes supposed being the
popular pronounciation of the former SNC)
Of course, I second Saharaite, (always favoring a name over a number)
Incidentally the former proposal SNCB appears a little funny, almost
ridiculous to us Belgian citizens, bacause SNCB is

Hi Carl,

many stones constitute each of those? We have all heard of 'paired' stones

I agree that the people of the Saharan Desert deserve to be honored
with a piece of meteorite nomenclature. The residents of the Sahara
have done much to advance the science of meteoritics. They deserve
some official recognition. Scientific nomnenclature is largely an
anglo-dominated affair
If you go with Habibite we could call them SHACN (pronounced shaken) . shake,

Hi Greg,
The NWA 7034 main mass is the original ~320g single stone Black

I thought it was the only one in existence, but over the past few
months more stones, all smaller than 320, have been recovered. The two

Thanks a lot for the information, Carl.
I can't wait to read more in six days.
Does the CRE-age of ~5 My mean that NWA 7034 probably represents a new impact
event or could it somehow be related to the shergottites Y793605 and Y27
with their ejection age of ~4.70 ± 0.50 My?

Carl, Greg,
It's my understanding the names of meteorites, once determined they
pair to another, should then have the same name, eliminating one of
the names.
Is this not correct???
Cheers!

Hi Martin,
Here is an excerpt from our noble gas abstract for NWA 7034, Cartwright et al.:
We obtain T3, T21 and T38 ages of 5.1 Ma, 11.4 Ma and 5.4 Ma
respectively. The older T21 age may result from heteorgeniety of
target elements like Ca and Mg within the breccia. T3 has little
dependency on
This does not apply to meteorites from dense collection areas.
Technically, each newly found stone should get its own number. If they
are highly distinct, it is possible to declare an official pairing which
will appear in MetBull, and have them treated as one meteorite for the
purpose of
What a nice gesture Shawn, congrats :-) As a collector with one of my

I believe the recent find near Perth by Rob Elliott that you mention
is not linked to the 1830 Perth meteorite. It is apparently a new find
and I understand it is currently being classified at Glasgow

I have to agree with you a bit about acronyms, and I do think that
Martian, Basalt Breccia is a fine simple descriptive type for NWA

But, I think it is worth clarifying that eucrites are HEDs (howardite,
