[Fwd: [meteorite-list] Dalgaranga Mesosiderite]
Hi, Rob, congratulations to that beautiful Dalgaranga specimen, I envy you. It is for sure very rare, and we do not get an export permit for that stuff here Down-Under. I myself have got a fair bit of highly weathered Dalgaranga mesosiderite, nothing as beautiful as yours. If you are interested to have a look, here you find them: http://www.rocksonfire.com/met-ex-da05.htm and http://www.rocksonfire.com/met-ex-da04.htm To all of you, best regards from Down-Under, Norbert F.

If that's the case, I'm well pleased to be the present owner, but does anyone know if that's so, or of any other metallic Dalgaranga specimens out there? I've linked through to some pictures below that I thought you might like to see. It's an oriented specimen with fine flow lines over the "dome"...the rollover lip is just about there, but has suffered from weathering somewhat. The backside obviously once contained silicate inclusions, but these have either weathered out to leave pockets, or simply didn't survive being torn off the larger mass in flight. David Weir suggested to me that this mostly iron individual was once a metallic nodule, ripped away from it's surrounding stony matrix in flight, and it's certainly looking that way. I ground a small corner this afternoon and etched the polished face to reveal a very fine Widmanstatten pattern, similar to the figures which appear on the metal blebs in my Estherville slice, plus a couple of tiny silicate inclusions.

RE: [meteorite-list] Dalgaranga Mesosiderite
Hello All. That is a beautiful individual. Dalgaranga is a very nice meteorite and very stable. I think it is by far my favorite meso. I decided to quickly put up a picture of one of the larger pieces of dalgaranga that we have in our personal collection. http://www.meteorite-lab.com/dalgaranga_b.htm Marvin and Kitty Killgore Southwest Meteorite Lab PO Box 95 Payson, AZ 85547 PH.928.474.9515 FAX.928.474.2474 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 9:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] Dalgaranga Mesosiderite Hi folks, during my meteorite travels in Chicago last week, I picked up a great looking Australian mesosiderite individual named Dalgaranga, and was reliably informed by the curator that "this is the only metallic specimen of Dalgaranga in existence", with all the remaining 10kg being shale and completely oxidised mesosiderite.

Re: [meteorite-list] Dalgaranga Mesosiderite
Hello Bernd, Rob, and all, I believe the 207 fragments collected in 1960 were those collected by Huss and Nininger. There's a bit more information on Nininger's trip on page 215 of "Find a Falling Star".

Hello Rob and List, It's fairly consistent with what the Catalogue says. One specimen of 40 g was preserved in the Simpson collection. During a search in 1960, not in but around the crater, 207 fragments were recovered, total weight 1.1 kg. The largest weighed 57g and about half of the 1.1 kg were oxidised irons and half mesosiderite. Within the crater 280 fragments, totalling about 20 lb were collected, all of which proved to be highly oxidised mesosiderites. So your specimen may be the one wrighing 40 grams or the other one weighing 57 grams. > I've linked through to some pictures below > that I thought you might like to see. Congratulations!
