Dear Friends of truly unusual meteorites,

Dear fellow enthusiasts,
Here in our actual Special, we want to introduce a carbonaceous beauty, a

CO3s were and are still a little bit underestimated in the favorableness of

Normally we hardly advertise a meteorite twice, but this time we want to

in my opinion this specimen is definitely no Kunya-Urgench.
In principle Kunya-Urgench, if fresh, is of a light-grey to witish
appearance.
But Kunya seemed to have to be exposed to humidity on the place of fall,
so that it has more or less very often hefty stainings from

Hi Richard,
Chladnite is a synonym for enstatite and was a synonym for the aubrites
among the meteorites.
That mineral name was introduced by Charles U. Shepard (1804-1886) in 1846
when he firstly observed enstatite in the 1843 fallen Bishopville aubrite,
to honor Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni
And because it would be unfair, to have lost that great name this way,
We have since 1994 the mineral: Chladniite

Hi Steve,
no.. a metachondrite is a chondrite without chondrules :-)
The meta comes from metamorph.
A metamorphosis means, that a rock is changed in its structure or its
composition into a different rock, but remaining in a solid state, while
this happens. This change can be caused by
type 6 chondrites, and I am uncomfortable calling those
which have differentiated chondrites, even with the prefix meta-.
