Dear All,
A first version of the Chelyabinsk strewnfield map is now completed:
Not buying it, at least not at face value. Quite literally doesn't add up.
It would have to survive at least another five orbits after Mir broke
up. And it would have been a very light piece. That's five orbits
AFTER its OBSERVED reentry!
My simulation puts it within a few kilometers altitude

More pictures and videos of meteorites, hunting stories... follow me on

Cool. Its a standard textbook like slag. Here in germany at some locations are
thousands of such pieces in all sizes and colors from brown to green in all
intensitys (until almost pure blackness, often bluish due microinclusions).
How stupid must someone be to put such a thing into the news as

Hello
Thanks to everyone for your kind feedback.
Perhaps the most surprising result was that the combined weight of the 233 finds
submitted (recorded from mid-February to mid-June) was just 52.9 kg (52 find
locations were submitted without data on the respective masses).

I doubt any rocks were aboard the Mir space station:) So regardless of where
it came down the whole story is idiotic.

Right. I wonder who the NASA scientist is, about whom the owner of the stone
talked or whether he exists or not.
Seems to be some kind of new trend to let someone from the NASA verify unknown
things. Maybe i should bring my old coins from flea market to one of the cooks
from a NASA cantine to
I've been getting photos from Iran of all kinds of crap, nothing even close to
meteorite, and he keeps saying NASA is buying them all but I can counter offer:)
Somehow I doubt anyone at NASA has seen these things. It is just the new
name-dropping to try and sell.

A big congratulations should go out to Marlin Cilz who prepared five new NWA

5-1/2 years for preparing the single complete slice known as the Ambassador.
I never disclosed the record while I held it but it is for
Great work, Svend! The insights provided into wind-shift influence on strewn
field distribution are remarkable. A real boon to meteorite strewn field
research. Congratulations, and thank you for making the results of your
excellent work freely available to all. :-)

I told that this is slag, so you cannot say no one here recognized this slag as
such.
Yes, this kind of slag is very common (i said it already), but as every kind of
slag, it does not occur everywhere. I found rich occurrences of this glassy
kind im my old hometown, but in my new hometown i

Elton,
As always you make some very good points.
I agree that this is a glassy slag. But, the question is; Where did it come
from?
Did the MIR have any glass that could have melted upon re-entry?
And who at NASA said it came from MIR? To me those are the critical questions
because if for
This slag was never in space or MIR. Its common slag, which has been placed

I am glad you asked for images of the Northwest Africa 5000 complete slices,

Hello All,
I hate to rain on the parade, but I'd do some research before making
'record-breaking' claims.

but they were/are sizable. And I don't even know if the huge slabs in

Please do not rain on Marlin's parade. He set a world record, clear and simple!

Hello Carl,
A janitor huffing tile adhesive whilst emptying trash cans in some
administrative back office at NASA probably doesn't lend much
credibility, even if he's crashing in his van outside a Holiday Inn

Wild claims abound.
But regardless of who is making the claim,
Jason,
I looked at the link and what you are calling a complete slice is a slab. If
we are going for the world record slab cut, then Marlin still has it.
The largest slab cut from NWA 5000 was as follows:
3,538 grams
238mm X 219mm X 52mm
Of course, this slab was subdivided into five of the
Hello Adam,
Your statements confuse me. At what point is a slice no longer a
slice, but a slab, and at which point does later subdivision of a
slice/slab render it not worthwhile to record the original
slice/slab's weight for purposes of deeming it a record-breaking cut?
It seems like you're
Don't worry about it Jason. It is not your concern. Let the qualified

A world record has been set and is locked in.. The slab from 61016 was only 20
mm thick and was cut into sections immediately for studying cosmic ray tracks.
