[meteorite-list] AD: Large Chelyabinsk
Hello List, I am selling a museum quality specimen of Chelyabinsk, one of the greatest falls in the history of meteorites. As you have seen, specimens over 500 grams are almost non-existent, especially those that contain the dual lithology (IMB and LL5 chondrite material) that is so beautiful in slice form. This specimen appears to contain the dual lithology, and weighs in at 510 grams with ~98% crust (primary and secondary). The documentation supporting this find is historic and will only add to the long term value of this specimen. Accompanying this specimen is a copy of the original letter from the finder, the exact coordinates of this find (which is very rare for this fall), and shipping paperwork. The find coordinates have been submitted to Svend Buhl for submission into his wonderful work on the Chelyabinsk fall, and buyer's name will also be given to Svend for this find. If the buyer chooses to make slices, these would most likely be the largest slices on the market, therefore commanding a true premium. I am open to discussions on this specimen, but I am confident in saying this piece is available for the lowest price offered on the open market, as far as I have been able to see, and the documentation is outstanding. Please contact me with any questions, and enjoy the photos. http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Chelyabinsk/SANY0541_zpse08304cf.jpg http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Chelyabinsk/SANY0540_zps27d6a1cc.jpg http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Chelyabinsk/SANY0539_zps0d28b670.jpg http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Chelyabinsk/SANY0538_zpsfbc581c3.jpg http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Chelyabinsk/SANY0537_zpseec749b1.jpg http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Chelyabinsk/SANY0536_zpsddeac714.jpg http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w589/jnbran/Chelyabinsk/SANY0535_zps7f3bb184.jpg Take Care, Jason Phillips Rocks from Heaven www.rocksfromheaven.com __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] It may look serpentinite from Mars?
Hello Richard. In 2009, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter device found in the Nili Fossae (and in the other two areas) deposits of the mineral serpentine, ie a large number of rocks exposed Serpentinization, water changes as you rightly pointed out. Many breeds of Mars have their analogues in the world: for example chassagnite it dunite. I wanted to know if we have the analogues of possible serpentinite, how can they look (need photos in the first place in the context of stone). On the Internet a lot of pictures of serpentinite, they are all different, some mineral pattern on the thin section might fit the Martian I still find it difficult to answer. All the same, thank you for your reply. Hello Alek! If serpentine, then aqueous alteration is definitely. Richard Montgomery - Original Message - From: "Aleksandr" To: "meteorite-list" Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 7:15 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] It may look serpentinite from Mars? Hello List! I apologize for the bad English. I've been studying (not professional) rocks of Mars. In addition to the five types of rocks from Mars that fell onto Earth as meteorites, scientists have discovered deposits of the mineral serpentine. If you enter the name "serpentinite" in the search Google images is a lot of pictures, this breed is very diverse. But how could look serpentinite, if he fell to us as a meteorite? It has long been engaged in the search of meteorites and would not want to walk past if a meteorite is possible. If anyone has suggestions about what kind would have this breed, please send us the links, I would be very grateful!

[meteorite-list] AD-Mreira
Aloha mai kakou, I am pointing my canoe NE for a voyage to Alberta (the overland portion is gonna be tough sailing). But would like to mention that the Big Kahuna holdings were exceeding a kilo of this beautiful L6 (S6,W0) meteorite, as opposed to the 335g reported in the metbull (http://tinyurl.com/lr69y44). Pictured on the link below is a full slice of Mreira, an L6 ordinary chondrite with a shock stage of 6 and a weathering stage of 0. It was witnessed to fall near the village of Mehaires, Western Sahara. Pieces were recovered approximately 40 miles south of Mehaires, near Mreïra, Mauritania, only a few days after the event. The strewn field is in the area called "Stailt Omgrain", which is a local nomadic name. This is south of Mehaires and north of the mountain "Galbe lahmar". The meteorite is brecciated, and appears to feature clasts of less equilibrated chondritic material. Some specimens have been shocked, with distinct melt phases. http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Images/Mreira-7.49a.jpg Some of the Mreira individual and slice offerings can be seen on these two webpages: http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Mreira.html http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Mreira2.html Because I will be away, I won't be able to ship anything out immediately, but can accept sales to ship out upon my return to Hawaii August 6.
