Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find - VIDEO
Excellent video Ruben...really enjoyed that. Looking forward to finding out what the classification is...really unusual find...congratulations. Also can't wait to see the Meteorite Men shows when I can find a way of getting them here in the USA. Heading to Tucson again this year so see you all there in a few weeksmeanwhile hope you and all have a great festive season. Graham...from a snowy UK PS...anyone got a strewnfield map of Holbrook that they are willing to share/advice about visiting there as it is on our list this year...weather permitting! Someone at the last Tucson show gave me a sketch map but unfortunately I seem to have mislaid that!!

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find - VIDEO
Thanks to everyone for the youtube views over the last two years - nearly 400,000 total! Greg S. and Greg L, It is important to have good friends in the business. It was great fun filming with Geoff and Steve. They were very gracious to have invited me to be on their show. Obviously, they don't need me and just did so because we are good friends. Marvin Killgore (U of A) and Laurence Garvie (ASU) have never said no when I've asked for a favor. Both are just great guys! Graham, keep in touch and I can help with Holbrook. Maybe we can set up a group hunt during the Tucson show? Rock On!

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find - VIDEO
Hey Ruben, Thanks for that video. For a novice like me it was very instructive. By watching the video, I got to see the process behind identifying a meteorite, plus I got to see how important it is to know some of right people, like Geoff, Steve, Marvin Kilgore and others at ASU.

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find plus a possibleNEW New Mexico Strewnfield
Congrats on those wonderful finds Ruben. That 'achondrite' looking stone has stumped me a little. The first thing I thought of before a close look at the pics was a Mesosiderite which explains a number of the features present. But the thing that really threw me was the chondrules. Maybe it's just me, but it looks like there are quite a few of them there. Those last couple of pics looks at least a little like a breccia of chondrite material mixed in. The last pic has what looks like a number of bleached chondrules and fragments of them too. Is that what I'm seeing Ruben or does it look different in 'person'? It will be VERY interesting to see where the oxygen isotopes plot for this one.

Within a sort time we found ourselves in an area in New Mexico where no finds have been recorded. We hunted for an hour or two when I spotted Mike Morgan and Del examining a stone. Sure enough Del had found his first cold find and it was a very fresh looking meteorite! Mike Morgan was next to find one and then shortly after I did too.

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find
Hi Bernd Ruben, The problem with a Ureilite is that I believe metallic iron/nickel is in relatively small amounts in them. It usually forms small veinlets around the grains and are the first thing to weather away (low nickel content) and often lost in slicing too. Because of this only VERY fresh Ureilites generally have these. http://www.meteorites.com.au/features/nwa2705.html NWA 2624 for comparison: http://www.meteorites.com.au/features/nwa2624.html Cheers, Jeff - Original Message - From: bernd.pa...@paulinet.de To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 9:32 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find Ruben wrote: Ureilite maybe?

I guess the riddle to ask is When does a pallasite have chondrules? You may jest Rob but I've seen it. ;-) Not a Pallasite with chondrules as such but pieces of extremely weathered Huckitta. It almost looks like a weathered (W5) type 3 or 4 impact melt. They look a bit like chondrules... but they're not. Very, very weird stuff!

Hi Ruben, Rob and List, I would like to congratulate Ruben on his new find. There is no doubt that this will be one of the top finds for 2009! Here is my 2 cents worth on what type meteorite this may be. I had a chance to look at the exterior and polished face. My first impression of the cut face reminded me of a ureilite. I also noticed what appeared to be a chondrule that would rule out a ureilite, unless it was a relic chondrule. The exterior has the weathered appearance of a lodranite. What ever this meteorite turns out to be, it will be unique. I guess we will have to leave it up to the experts. 2 cents worth poll : ) #1 Ureilite #2 Lodranite Sonny Hi Ruben, Congrats on the new Arizona find!

Wow! Congratulations on the new NM strewnfield and on what is probably a very rare achondrite meteorite. *If* it is an achondrite, then there's something wrong about the lone chondrule ;-) If there are chondrules and if this loner is a chondrule, what about an E-chondrite - maybe anomalous? I first thought I was looking at something angritic or diogenitic ... maybe an olivine diogenite but I can't see any triple junctions in the pics. Hmm, please keep us posted!

Hi Bernd, Thanks for the comments. We do have reservations about if it really has a chondrule or if it is just a round inclusion. However, some of the most knowledgeable people in the world have guessed high metal diogenite (as it is loaded with metal) or lodrinite or other primitive achondrite- Ureilite maybe? My guess is that it will be an achondrite - maybe a new class? However, if it is a chondrite it will be anything but ordinary - maybe a new class here too?

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find
Yo, An acapulcoite might have a chondrule, but a lodranite, given the increased metamorphism, highly doubtful. That's what differentiates lodranites from acapulcoites - larger grain size due to more intense/prolonged periods of metamorphism. I would say a mesosiderite - compare to Clover Springs or Vaca Muerta. I suppose it could be a CB/CH, though - but the olivine would suggest otherwise. Nice find, regardless.

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find plus a possibleNEW New Mexico Strewnfield
What is it? Bah, not an easy question, Ruben. As a first spontaneous idea Tafassasset with its olivines (but coarser grain sized) and a bit similar metal distribution came into my mind. And as you mentioned primitive achondrites: as we know Tafassasset seems to show some aspects of brachinite ... At last we have a new Tafa-problem in regard to classification, who knows? Analysis will let us know more. Good luck!

I found what is probably a very rare achondrite meteorite. I say probably because no one can definitively say what type it is just by looking. It is currently being classified at ASU by Lawrence Garvie – so we will soon know. Here is a link http://www.mr-meteorite.net/ararearizonafind.htm This past weekend – in an attempt to find more - I put together a team of top notch meteorite hunters (Mike Miller, Sonny Clary, Stan Wall, Del Waterbury, Mike Morgan and Myself). Unfortunately, between the rains and mud we came up empty. After checking the weather (online) with a very helpful Susan Morrison we decided that in order to get out of the rain we needed to head east. Within a sort time we found ourselves in an area in New Mexico where no finds have been recorded. We hunted for an hour or two when I spotted Mike Morgan and Del examining a stone. Sure enough Del had found his first cold find and it was a very fresh looking meteorite! Mike Morgan was next to find one and then shortly after I did too. We think this may prove to be a “NEW” and very fresh New Mexico Strewn field. Time will tell as we return to hunt for more of these beautifully crusted specimens in the weeks to come.

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find plus a possibleNEW New Mexico Strewnfield
Hi Ruben, Congrats on the new Arizona find! What a terrific discovery: metal, large olivine phenocrysts, and even a lonely chondrule. The presence of that chondrule would seem, by definition, to rule out an achondrite classification, although I understand acapulcoites apparently (and paradoxically) can contain chondrules (e.g. NWA 725, GRA 98028). But I can't say I've ever heard of an acapulcoite with such large olivine phenocrysts, so I would be inclined to rule out this classification. I guess the riddle to ask is When does a pallasite have chondrules? :D --Rob -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com]on Behalf Of Ruben Garcia Sent: Monday, October 05, 2009 1:15 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find plus a possibleNEW New Mexico Strewnfield Hi all, On September 24, 2009 I made (what I think will be) one of the most important Arizona meteorite finds of my life.
