Re: [meteorite-list] The World's Second Largest Meteorite

[Rob Wesel via Meteorite-list]

I have seen this in the news a few times today. Amazing find but I'm 
confused.


This new find is 34 tons.

El Chaco weighs in at 37 tons and Hoba has them beat at 66.

I missing a metric conversion in reference to El Chaco?

Referencing the book
The Campo Del Cielo Meteorites, Vol. II, Chaco
Guillermo Faivovich and Nicolas Goldberg
2012
Page 45

List,

A 34-ton iron has been found
in the Campo del Cielo region
of Argentina:

The meteorite was found on
Sept. 10 in the town of Gancedo,
1,085 km north of Buenos Aires,
Mario Vesconi, president of the
Astronomy Association of Chaco,
told the daily newspaper Clarin."

"While we hoped for weights above
what had been registered, we did
not expect it to exceed 30 [metric]
tons," Vesconi noted, adding that
"the size and weight [about 68,000
pounds] surprised us."

"The meteorite will be weighed
again to ensure an accurate
measurement. The largest
meteorite ever found is Hoba,
weighing 66 tons, in Namibia."

[meteorite-list] NOTICE! Tucson Storage Unit Meteorite Items Stolen

[KD Meteorites via Meteorite-list]

Hello, All;

I have been informed by some friends of ours, Jens and Cynthia Meier,
owners of Conlight Meteorites, that their storage unit in Tucson has
been broken into and all their meteorite stock has been stolen. They
do not have any idea when it was stolen as the storage unit did not
have any cameras in the building their merchandise was in.

Their products included rough and faceted Jepara crystals, some
assorted meteorite slices, and meteorite beads.

They are well known for their watches - all watches have "Conlight
Meteorites, made in Germany" on the back.

There are various styles of watches that were stolen:

10 watches with a meteorite dial and titanium case
16 with iron meteorite faces and stainless steel case
1 with a pallasite face and titanium case
1 Chronograph watch with a meteorite face, stainless steel case and
fiber carbon band
16 with peridot crystals on the face
150 meteorite peridot sets which included one faceted and one rough
meteorite peridot
30 meteorite pendants in various styles.

There are more watches in various styles as well.

If you want pictures, please email me and I can send you the photos of
the watches.

If anyone sees any of these watches or other items please let Jens
know at conli...@larimar.info, or contact the Tucson police as a
police report has been filed.

Thank you!
Dana

Hi George,

Pat Branch and I have been working the event pretty hard the last 3 days: 
dashcam triangulation,
sonic boom measurements from multiple stations, etc. You can find much of our 
discussion
on the event on the Galactic Analytics Facebook page.  --Rob
