One dealer was offering Brenham, a well-known ruster with the description, No artificial preservatives or coatings where used in its preparation, like this was some kind of selling point. I think the referenced examples of Sericho/Habaswein were not clear coated thus the dull appearance.

Hi Greg – Chris Peterson summed it up nicely. I would venture to guess that bolides that lead to meteorites on the ground more often than not generate detectable seismic (i.e. acoustic) signatures. Of the U.S. recovered falls since 2010, at the times those events occurred I found seismic

I agree, Tomek. The quality in the case of Sericho seems to differ dramatically, depending on very different places the stones were enbedded. The 2 pieces of /better/ quality (link 1): bidding has reached 42 $ for 6.2 g respectively 51 $ for 14.6 g (and still 4 days to continue). I would

I'd also like to point out that the description of "magnitude 2.0" is rather sloppy. Seismographic magnitude scales (e.g. Richter, moment-magnitude) attempt to provide a measure of the energy released by an earth movement, at the epicenter, focus, or along the moving section. It is completely

Hi All, By way of follow-up to my prior post, a significant seismic signature for the Michigan event can be found on the US.AAM Ann Arbor seismic station at 01:10:16 UT on 17 January 2018. I've created the following link for you to display the waveform:

As mentioned before, those really are not good quality specimens. Not very representative examples, Adam. Also the 2kg or bigger specimens/lots of Hasbaswein have been selling for 0.50$/g or less from the source for months now. Regardless of size or price changes (which are temporary anyhow)

It's not uncommon for large fireballs to produce seismic signatures. They're created by atmospheric shock waves hitting the ground. The bodies themselves are nowhere near large enough to reach the ground intact, so all that kinetic energy never results in cratering. ("Never" as in "only every
