[meteorite-list] AD: Rare Tarahumara, Mexico, Iron IIE Meteorite for sale (Ad: 2/12)

2018-06-03 Thread Bigjohn Shea via Meteorite-list

Dear Fellow Collectors,
 
Hope you are all doing great!
 
Well it looks like the Ensisheim show is starting early. Why, you say…? Because 
here and now is your chance to get a specimen of an exceptionally rare 
silicated iron meteorite, Tarahumara, Mexico. Four specimens have been added to 
my website (see address below) and they all are good representative part slices 
of this rare IIE classification.
 
https://bigjohnmeteorites.com
 
Furthermore, if you’re going to Ensisheim for bargains, then start your hunt 
right here because I’ve lowered prices on many of the other specimens on my 
webpage. This makes for unbeatable deals on other rare specimens, like my last 
slice of the recently classified sHL sub-group iron meteorite from the hot 
desert.
 
Please take a moment from your relaxing Sunday to check out some of the 
specimens.
 
Cheers,
John A. Shea, MD
IMCA 3295

Hi Mike, hi Rob,

 

thank you for this outstanding news.

  Video seems very promising for a meteorite fall.
 


This is the 3rd meteoroid detected prior of the fall. (See Wikipedia)

 

1. 20081007 Sudan_TC3_Almahatta Sita

2. 20140102 Atlantic Ocean NE to Brasil 2014 AA

(3. 20151113 Sri Lanka WT1190F --> 11,3 km/s reentry of translunar injection module from Lunar Prospector, 1998)

3. 20180602 Botswana ZLAF9B2

 

Looking forward to the next one :-)

 


--Thomas

Hey Rob,

Nice find. A few more reports have come in, one with a nice video.

https://www.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/event/2018/1924

The tractor shed seen in the video, I believe is just 200 meters south
of the witness reported location. Looking at the surrounding buildings
I'm pretty sure this is it. The lat/lon for the building in the video
is: -26.743427° 26.222917°

Thanks,

Mike
