[meteorite-list] AD - Small and large pieces of Famenin H/L3 hammer for sale
Hello everyone, I have a few small pieces of the Famenin H/L3 hammer for sale. They are: 2.63g, 3.3g, 4.84g, and 218g. All pieces have significant amounts of fusion crust and are lovely to look at with large chondrules. On some, you can see fragments of the roofing material that the meteorite hit. The small pieces are available immediately ($150/g) and I may be able to provide some CT scans to go along with them if there's interest. The largest piece (price is negotiable), we're still doing a bit of work on, but it could be available within a couple of weeks. For more detailed information, send me a note... Have fun!

[meteorite-list] AD - Another small Famenin hammerstone fragment
Once again, I have a small piece of the Famenin H/L3 (provisional) hammerstone for sale. It's a nice little fragment about 2cm long and fairly thin. The backside is mostly fusion-crusted while front side shows some nice light clasts. Under a microscope / hand lens areas with troilite and metal become visible along with lovely chondrules and cavities (once containing chondrules) become visible. A very nice meteorite and the freshest H/L3 to be found. In fact, it's one of only a few H/L3 meteorites to be found (fresh or otherwise) and it's likely that no more than about a hundred grams of small fragments will be made available. If you're interested, please visit http://hammerstone.eu/index.php/auctions/ to place a bid and/or feel free to send me a note with any questions you might have.

[meteorite-list] AD - Small fragment of the Famenin (Iran) hammerstone for sale
As you many of you may recall, on the 27th of June there was a meteorite fall in the town of Famenin, Iran. At about 8:30 that morning, a fellow living in the town heard a loud bang from his roof and decided to take a look. What he discovered when he got up onto his flat roof was a hole the size of his fist and number of black-crusted rock fragments scattered about. These rocks, of course, turned out to be bits of a meteorite that had slammed into his house and shattered into numerous pieces which were then scattered over a radius of many meters. Anyway, to make a long story short, it turns out that this rock is a transitional H/L3 type (that is what is being submitted). This makes it one of 51 recorded H/L meteorites. And since only 8 of these were H/L3 (none of which were falls) with a TKW of just over 1300g, this 700g meteorite is very special indeed! The piece that we're offering right now is a 0.41g fragment of the hammer. It's a nice little piece with about 30% fusion crust. It's listed as a (crude) auction that I've setup on a website at, http://hammerstone.eu/index.php/auctions/ To bid, simply put in your dollar amount along with your name and email address in the appropriate boxes and click 'Place Bid.' At the end of the auction (now changed to Monday 18h (UTC+1)), the winner will be notified and can pay with PayPal. As I'm traveling on Monday, I wil send the fragment out on Tuesday. Thanks, Mike P.S. The story wouldn’t be complete without mentioning that, roughly one month later, another meteorite fell to the northwest near the village of Moshampa. The first recovered stone of this fall was almost a hammer itself as it was picked up by a farmer who heard it hit the ground close to where he was standing. In total, about 4 kg of what appears to be an LL (guessing low petrographic grade from the whopping 2g that we have) has been recovered but it has proven to be very difficult to get a hold of. -- Michael Mazur Lagårdsveien 131 4011 Stavanger Norway __ 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
