Hi Geoff,
Norway... trudging through the muck, mud and a forest carpeted with a dense
layer of "Moss". Congratulations to Mike, Morton and Robert for their
success at recovering some material. They should alter their hunting plans
after Norway and head for India!
Best regards,
Greg

Subject: [meteorite-list] Exciting News from Norway
Dear Listees:
I just this minute received a satellite phone call from my neighbor Mike
Farmer. He is still in Norway, and asked me to post the following news on
his behalf:
Mike, Morton, and Robert Ward found a nice fresh specimen for the new fall
last night. Mike says it is a very fragile carbonaceous chondrite with
tiny chondrules, less than 1/2 mm across. The stone broke upon impact and
the team recovered a number of pieces.
Mike met with the curators of the Norwegian Natural History museum who
researched the question of exporting meteorites from Norway. Mike was
pleased to report that there are no laws prohibiting their find from
leaving the country.
Mike will post details to the List as soon as he gets a reliable internet
connection. That's all I have for now.
Mike is still in the field. Big congrats to Mike, Morton, and Robert.
There aren't many people who can say they've found a fresh carbonaceous
chondrite fall!
Regards,
Geoff N.
