Hello Bernd,
Very interesting data about these historical synonyms of Glorietta.
I do have the Hey catalogue and the Buchwald treatise but would never
had the idea to go through to find such details.
You remain invaluable not only in having built your endless library
and a computer-assisted literature compilation, but especially in
being able to select by heart the document in which you are sure to
find very rapidly the most appropriate reference.
Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and expertise!
See you soon in Ensisheim ?
Kindest regards,
Zelimir

Regine inquired:
"I too would like to know where this one is being kept. What baffles
me though, how does one get to the conclusion the meteorite had been
carried in a medicine bag? It doesn't sound implausible, but what are
the clues? Magic powder topping? Is there any further info?"
Hello All,
Many of us still have the 4th edition of the Meteorite Catalogue (1985).
Most of us still have the 5th edition of the Meteorite Catalogue (2000).
But few collectors, dealers, meteoriticists still have the 3rd edition
on their bookshelves [Hey M.H. (1966) Catalogue of Meteorites].
On page 387, you find the following info:
Pojoaque, Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, New Mexico, U.S.A.
Found before 1931.
35° 54' N., 1° 0' W.
Stony-iron. Pallasite?
A fragment of 84 grams was found in the ancient pueblo of Pojoaque =
Pojuaque)
(L.F. Brady, Amer. Journ. Sci., 1931, ser. 5, vol. 21, p. 178 [M.A.
5-12]; H.H.
Nininger, The Mines Magazine, Golden, Colorado, 1933, vol. 23, no.
7, p. 4 and
no. 8, p. 6 [M.A. 5-405]). Probably a fragment of Glorieta Mountain
(H.H. Nininger,
Amer. Antiquity, 1938, vol. 4, p. 39 [M.A. 7-272]; Amer. Journ. Sci., 1940,
vol. 236, p. 56 [M.A. 7-544]). Main mass in the Laboratory of Anthropology,
Santa Fé; 6 gr in H.H. Nininger's collection.
And now let's go to Buchwald:
BUCHWALD V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Vol. 2, pp. 598:
Two exceptions are the specimens which were described as Pojoaque
(Brady 1931; Nininger 1933b) and Sante Fé (Henderson 1934), and
which are still listed as separate meteorites by Hey (1966).
Pojoaque (No. 12) is a 128 gr fragment found in the ancient Indian
pueblo of this name. lt was found in a pottery bowl, and it has been
suggested that its bright, worn exterior may be accounted for by
assuming that it had long been carried in the pouch of a medicine
man (Brady 1931). The ruin in which it was found is about 50 km
northwest of Canonçito, but since the structure and the state of
preservation correspond exactly to that of authentic Glorieta
Mountain specimens, Pojoaque is, no doubt, a transported fragment.
Present location (p. 599): Laboratory of Anthropology, Santa Fé
(Ref.: Brady, 1931; Nininger 1940a).
So, if it is still there, the answer to Regine's inquiry should be:
=> Laboratory of Anthropology, Santa Fé <=
Cheers,
Bernd
