Hello Jerry, Mark, Greg and List,
What a beautiful H4 chondrite!
Gorgeous thumbprinted fusion crust!
Sincere congratulations to all those involved!

This surely sounds like an invitation to another quiz ;-)
So my take is: it is so fresh that it
Congratulations to Jerry, Mark and the rest of the meteorite enthusiasts in
Kansas. This is evidence that meteorites can still be found if folks just
spend some time out in the field. The story makes me wonder if some
unsuspecting farmer lobbed the space rock over the fence to get it out of
With one of the Shaw brothers involved in this recovery, there is most
certainly a good story to go along with the find. Jerry? Mark? Do you

Hi all,
I have a slice of this meteorite and some of the rare chondrules are not
ghosts at all but true pyroxene melt chondrules.

1.First the question. Since I have thousands of small rocks I've
collected for use in my art, I think I should get a decent magnet and check to
see
if any of them react.
Can anyone tell me where to buy a good magnet, and what kind (manufacturer,
strength, size etc.)?? I believe the

Welcome to the BL owner's group. I was at Roman's a few days before he sent
you that one and held it. A nice beauty. Mine is smaller at 68 grams but
still spectacular and one that I will not part with easily.
Cheers,

Hello Everyone,
Thanks for your comments on our latest recovery. We seem to be averaging
about 1.5 a year. Our longterm goal has been to add 10 new Kansas
meteorites to the books.
Moni asked When will you find out how old it is?
I am not sure. The University of Washington is going to do

My guess is too vague, so let me narrow it down to 2 months from fall
to reported recovery date because this was my first private guess.

Hello List,
After reading the AGU abstract posted by Greg, I certainly think the
investigators have made huge progress in arriving at a consensus on the
correct classification of this 1+ ton mass, previously described as an
igneous aubrite, a highly equilibrated EL6/7, and an En-metachondrite,
Standing corrected:
I would like to tell the list that the piece Steve Arnold purchased is not the
piece
I thought belonged to John X. John just assured me that his 197.9-gram BL
chondrite is still in his collection as he is a fellow collector of
meteorites that
stay in a collection.
Thank

I do, and, well, I know how long you had what you traded it for.
So, please, accept my apologies

Congratulations on a truly amazing couple of weeks!!
Most collectors dream of finding ONE in their
lifetime. It is inspiring to see what can happen when
you get out there with enough knowledge to recognize a
keeper when you see it. Make no mistake, it's not
easy, but when preparation

The AGU abstract adequately and interesting explains the characteristics in
light of it being an EL3 fossil meteorite with primary, unequilibrated
components, with a very sparse abundance of chondrules.
I agree. After you understand the
