Good evening All, After quite some time searching the halls of the Smithsonian, I need to report a definitely lost and possibly stolen meteorite shipment. Small, but important to Georgia meteorite history.
I donated a ~100 gram half end section of the Statesboro meteorite to the Smithsonian earlier this year, and they have yet to find the package on their end. If anyone hears of Statesboro being offered for sale, this would almost certainly be the source as I either hold or have accounted for all of this mass. The missing piece is not pictured in the following link, but it at least provides a sense for the appearance of the stone, etc: http://www.fallingrocks.com/Collections/Statesboro.htm Thanks in advance for any insight should this specimen turn up in the meteorite community... All best, Dave Gheesling IMCA #5967 www.fallingrocks.com ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
