Re: [meteorite-list] Introducing the Worlds Newest Meteorite fall -Creston

[Michael Farmer via Meteorite-list]

Everyone (Matson/Fries)was going to get nice credit in a great write-up and 
press release. Sadly the information was released because someone wanted to 
make some money real fast. So the short a announcement typed in the field is 
lacking many pertinent facts. 
We are in the field on top of mountains to even receive signal so Robert was 
unable to write much.

Robert Ward is in the field in California, and asked me to pass this along

his expedition.

Robert on his Website, robertwardmeteorites.com...

--

On October 23, 2015, at 0547 UTC, a large fireball lit up the rolling hills
of wine country east of Paso Robles.

The bolide stunned onlookers with a multitude of colors as it broke up into
many pieces. The magnitude of the fall was so great that the spectacle was
even observed several states away. Dozens of witnesses close to the ground
path heard sonic booms shortly after the fireball terminated.

By the next day, the American Meteor Society had received over 120 reports.
At first I was confused by what I saw in the data in the various AMS
reports. As I sorted through a number of eye witness descriptions, it was
soon clear that there were two events near to one another, both in distance
and in time. I began working through the reports from the larger event
individually, narrowing down the area to San Luis Obispo County. And
focusing on eye witness reports in this area, I found one report in
particular that caught my attention. The eye witness reported what sounded
"like bombs falling," and that the meteor had passed directly overhead.

I contacted Marc Fries with the location and suggested the fall was probably
within a few miles of the eye witnesses location. Within minutes, Marc found
radar returns in the area that corresponded with the time of the event.

On October 27th, my wife Anne Marie and I arrived in the area under the
returns Marc Fries had discovered. Within twenty minutes, we found a stone
that had hit a metal fence post and shattered, showering the road embankment
with fragments. We recovered 395.7 grams of material from the site and
subsequently reassembled the majority of the stone.

[Bigjohn Shea via Meteorite-list]

Congrats on the new fall!

Looks like a lovely specimen.  Attractive slices...

Give me a moment while I contact my bank and get a line of credit so I can buy 
a 4g slice of an L6...   ;-)

Cheers,
John

Hi all,

I am proud to introduce the worlds newest recovered meteorite fall
called, Creston.

See it here
http://www.mrmeteorite.com/newcaliforniafall.htm

or keep reading,

This meteorite fell October 23, 2015 near wine country just east of
Paso Robles California in an area called Creston.

To date less than 800 grams (4 small stones) of this fall have been
recovered and nearly all is already locked up in collections.

In fact, as far as we know only the 11 slices below (and 1 end cut)
which were cut from the 102 gram stone pictured at the top of the page
will ever be available.

This meteorite, likely an L6 has shock veins crossing though each
slice. According to the classifying scientist it is a commonly seen
feature in other samples he studied from this fall.

Please call or email if you're interested in a slice!

Congrats to Robert Ward for his persistence and diligence in researching this 
fall.  
It was well-earned and deserving that he should make the first find.  

The only thing that I can add  to this thread is that (over on facebook) Marc 
Fries has given credit 
to Rob Matson for doing the lions-share of crunching-out the numbers regarding 
the astrometry for this fall. 
I'm not subscribed to facebook and can't supply a link, but there is an 
informative thread over there, 
if you can access it.  Hadn't seen Rob's name mentioned here, so felt compelled 
to mention his name, AND  
point-out the obvious, that Doppler-weather radar appears to be working again!  
 Hallelujah!!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Introducing the Worlds Newest Meteorite fall - Creston

[Ruben Garcia via Meteorite-list]

Hi all,


I made this post just before heading into a meeting with a major
university  -  Yes, they also acquired two slices of this fantastic
meteorite.

I will respond to individual emails as soon as possible.

There's only a few slices left and there is a chance that if one or
two don't sell soon I may cut/break them into 1g-2g pieces to satisfy
all the collectors (of which there are many) that require smaller
specimens.

I'll be traveling tomorrow and Saturday to California where I will
drop off meteorites to another client at JPL. I'll post photos of my
JPL tour on FB when I return.

Call or email -  602 388 9618

Hi all,

or keep reading,

This meteorite fell October 23, 2015 near wine country just east of
Paso Robles California in an area called Creston.

To date less than 800 grams (4 small stones) of this fall have been
recovered and nearly all is already locked up in collections.

In fact, as far as we know only the 11 slices below (and 1 end cut)
which were cut from the 102 gram stone pictured at the top of the page
will ever be available.

This meteorite, likely an L6 has shock veins crossing though each
slice. According to the classifying scientist it is a commonly seen
feature in other samples he studied from this fall.

Please call or email if you're interested in a slice!
