Re: [meteorite-list] Bondoc Mesosiderite-B4 Meteorite – The Good & the Bad
Hi David and List, That is unfortunate. I have seen some Bondoc nodules that have a lot more visible metal in them. They seem to run the gamut with most being on the shale-oxide side of the spectrum, but a few do have a decent amount of fresh metal in them. Check these out - http://www.meteoritemarket.com/BON.htm Those are smaller, but have some really nice metal showing. Keep us posted on your sphere though. I am curious to see how it looks once it's polished up.

[meteorite-list] Bondoc Mesosiderite-B4 Meteorite – The Good & the Bad
Bondoc Mesosiderite-B4 Meteorite – The Good & the Bad I received my Bondoc whole specimen yesterday and I processed it into my sphere rough cube today. The GOOD – Very easy to cut The BAD – not a lot of visible metal Here is a picture of the whole specimen http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Bondoc/Bondoc%20005_zpsep6vjheh.jpg Here is a picture of it after cutting http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Bondoc/Bondoc%20006_zps3clmvkjy.jpg Overall I will be happy to have a meso sphere in my collection, I just wish it had more metal in it. I’m soaking a small slice in phosphoric acid so we will see how that turns out I plan to sell the end cuts and slices but don’t really know what it’s worth so if you have an opinion on it’s “value per gram” please reply __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Queensland Museum's new meteorite valued at $100, 000 but priceless to scientists
Hello Al, This is Georgetown (iron), it used to be classified as a IIICD. Certainly a rare type. But in 2008 it was re-classified as a IAB-ungroup by John Wasson. There are 47 of those on the Met.Bulletin. Not quite so rare. Still, very interesting looking, and Yes, I do have a nice slice available. Anne M.

Most iron meteorites are highly differentiated and don't hold the clues that pristine undifferentiated specimens do. Perhaps the author(s) was in need of asking questions so they could have been less vague in the article. They did say one of 5 specimens but didn't say what it was. Oh well. --AL Mitterling On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 10:59 PM, AL Mitorling wrote: Hi List, Doesn't sound like they know too much about this iron meteorite or meteoritics from the article.

For that, I try to track down the current location of as many samples of the Mauerkirchen meteorite as I can. I would therefore kindly ask anyone who owns, curates or just knows the location of one or more samples of Mauerkirchen to provide me with some information on the number and weight of samples in the respective collection. Please send the following information to my private e-mail (hraab2...@aon.at): * Location (place name, e.g. "Vienna") * Collection name (e.g., "Natural History Museum" or "Neumann collection") * Number and mass of samples (preferably mass of each sample, or total mass) Please indicate if you do not want the name of the collection to be published. In that case, I will just list the location and "anonymous collection" to the list. Remember to send the information to my private e-mail (hraab2...@aon.at) to avoid flooding the mailing list. :) Many thanks in advance to everyone who sends me a bit of information!
