I prefer to read the meteorite list from the archives. It is easier to follow interesting threads, and ignore uninteresting ones. (for me anyway) http://one.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2003-August/date.html My question is: Why do some members names show up next to their post's and

Before anyone bids $450,000 for a 188 gram super hyped piece of Zagami they should consider the 43.9 slice of DAG 476 (a Shergottite) that Eric Twelker of the Meteorite Market has for only $10,975.00. I must say that I have lusted after that one myself, but none of my lottery investments have

[meteorite-list] meteorite from Phobos? Kaidun

You guys are dancing around the answer to the question. The Vernadsky Institute has in their possession a meteorite that they believe came from Phobos. Why do they think so? Because it has a spectral match with carbonaceous chondrites as does Phobos and it has at least 2 clasts that are

Fellow listees: While looking in the woods for Park Forest Meteorites I found a rusty somewhat angular chunk of Iron. I know the odds of it being meteorite are about a million to one, but I took it home since it was the only thing I found, and because its shape was not like any obvious tool.
