All,
I wondered if anybody might offer some input or opinions on a 8.26g slice of
Mifflin currently for sale on eBay.

Great price if as stated.. but is it or not?
Thanks,

Hi List,
I am putting together a list of the largest known meteorites by type.
Here is what the list looks like so far. Can anyone spot any errors
or suggest any other large specimens of different types?
Largest Meteorites :
Largest carbonaceous CM1 - Moapa Valley - 691 g
Largest iron - Hoba -
Seymchan much larger
Pallasite one piece is 3 metric tons alone.

Where is the 3 tonne Seymchan? Met Bull has mass at 323kg by the way.

It has been sitting in Tucson for years. Oriented nose cone. Now in China.
Met bulletin is decades behind. Seymchan now at least 15 tons.

And that is the fundamental issue with the list ...
With some
meteorites that were found/fell as one mass, the TKW is more or less
accurate. With others that were not found/fell as one mass, the numbers
can be WAY off as is the case for Seymchan. The total recovered weight
can be much higher
The MetBull can be revised or updated with a write-up submitted to the
NomCom, but it requires an individual to take the time to actually do
that work. For example, I revised NWA 7034 to Martian Basaltic Breccia
after my original Achondrite-ung, a year earlier. As far as revising
TKW in the
I wish somebody would take the time to actually and truthfully certify the
weight on Kalahari 009. Weighing it on a bathroom scale and rounding it off is
disrespectful to such a piece! It may be the world's heaviest but we will
never know until somebody does the right thing and weighs it
Hi Listees,
I have added some new entries to my meteorite blog. I put the word
new in quotes, because one of these articles is an older but
unpublished work of mine (the Meteorite Hall of Fame and Shame). The
new articles are denoted with an asterisk (*).
I hope it is not presumptuous of me to
Adam:
I entirely agree, but on the basis of this photo

and assuming a density of 2.6 g/cm^3, I'd say that rock was at least 13 kg.

Something looks funny about the scale cube as well. Maybe it is because the
image is so blurry. When I see fuzzy images of meteorites, or anything else for
that matter, on eBay or a website, I stay away. I wonder if the cube is
calibrated or somebody just threw in a sugar cube after taking a
Just to back up what Carl said, MetBull is not decades behind... it may
be decades out of date though. MetBull does not attempt to log new
discoveries of additional pieces of meteorites, so it is not behind in
this task. It is, in general, a one-time publication with a date on it,
like a
Yes
But some major new finds need to be updated. Springwater for example, seymchan,
etc.

Hi List,
I have just put up some unique iron meteorite slices for sale on my
page. These meteorites came from the Oscar Monnig collection. This a
rare opportunity to add a truly unique piece to your collection.
Thanks,
Sonny
That slice seemed reasonable. I'm surprised it didn't sell.

All,
I wondered if
Hello Bill, Brandon, All,
Given the seller, I'm surprised anyone would consider it without a
very good photographic record of provenance. Could be Mifflin: looks
better than most of the H-chondrite misrepresented material that was
going around. But the same seller recently sold off-looking Nuevo
Let's forget the seller for the moment. Why is this not Mifflin and what other
material do you think it could be?
Thanks,
Bill

As a collector and in the interest of science, I would certainly like to have
the TKW actively updated based on validated finds.

Hello Bill, Brandon, Mendy, all,
Honestly, this slice doesn't look bad. If you compare the breccias:
(real, from a stone found by Sonny Clary)
The fact that the label is for Springwater seems to be a problem to me.
I also think it is more likely Ash Creek.
Who is Lonestar meteorites? Wasn't that a known scammer?

I'll give him credit.. its a very nice slice. But then again, my very fresh
unclassified slice sure
To answer Bill and Mike,
That smaller slice looks good for Ash Creek to me, and the larger
(supposed Mifflin) looks about right to me as well. Yes, they're
similar, but...a little different.
The original Lonestar Meteorites fellow was somewhat obscure,
definitely on the up-and-up. But, John
The specimen he offered as Ash Creek is obvoiusly not the same material as the
slice he offered as Mifflin. I don't care if he's a scammer, adled or just
mixed up. If you're going to buy you'd best do your due diligence. That's how
bargains are found and as much as I do respect the integrity of
