I lived in Oregon a couple of years. It is pronounced
As follows: will - A - met with the A as in am, at, as, etc.
I have always been amused when people pronounce it
Otherwise. I could be wrong, but I think even ET pronounces
It the way most meteorite folks do, which astonished me, since
I think the most difficult to pronounce meteorites are those from Poland.
Right,Marcin?

Hi Folks!
Someone asked me this question yesterday and it
stopped
me dead in my tracks - I had no answer for it.
What is the biggest Martian-origin meteorite ever
found, in terms of TKW?
And, if this specimen is Antarctic or otherwise out
of the collector's market, what is the biggest Mars
Dear Michael, and All,
That's Zagami with a whopping TKW of about 18kg. And it's widely available
on the collector's market, thanks to Bob Haag.
The next biggest is the Yamato nakhlite Yamato 000593 and pairings with a
TKW of about 15kg. Not available on the private collector's market, though.
How do you say this one STFU. It means that I am tired of this
thread that has been beat to death many times in the past.

Hey, I got one. Only two halves of a 9.1 gram stone, so I am not rich. But
that puts me getting one in less than 1 out of 500 specimens.
It definitely puts the 9.1 grams in for far less than 1% of my current
material.
Cool stuff.

Come on Steve, have you never seen the outside of a
Gao impact-melt piece, or any impact melt for that
matter? It is extremely easy to tell, it wont have
fusion crust on the melt parts, they are glassy and
much harder.

Hi all -
How do you pronounce Willamette?
Easy. You call it Tomanowo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willamette_Meteorite
Either tom-a-no-wo or to-ma-no-wo is an acceptable
pronunciation.

Scientists such as Lavoisier and Berthollet, no less!
And from a quick browse through the index, no mention of Anaxogoras.

Except, of course, that's not what it's called. Wil-LAM-it or Wil-a-MET,
nobody familiar with meteorites is going to fail to know what you are
talking about. That's generally true for any common pronunciation
variants with other meteorites as well. Tomanowo will generate lots of
blank stares.
Sorry if this a dumb suggestion but, I was just wondering what would
be the chances of including an ongoing spelling/pronunciation feature
on meteorite nomemclature in Meteorite each quarter, or a couple
times a year possibly?
