Re: [meteorite-list] Norwegian meteorite classification guessing game
I would guess for 2006.07g TKW (14 pieces) of a nice CO3... that fell of July 14, 2006. 11 more pieces to be found! Too bad that I won't be in Tucson next year otherwise I would take part to the bet for a Margarita! Anyway, we can only wait for more pieces to be recovered and classifcation to be achieved!

Re: Re: [meteorite-list] Norwegian meteorite classification guessing game
Hi Martin and All, I don not think images are a good way to ascertain classifications but in this case I took a S.W.A.G. at it in the interest of fun. I think the crust is wrong for a CO3 because virtually every sample of a CO3 I have seen has very fine contraction cracks, some do not even penetrate as deep as the matrix. These cracks show up in detailed images. These cracks are absent in the enhanced image provided by a List member taken from an article on the new fall. The color of CO3 type crusts is usually semi-gloss black, never flat black like the one in the image. In my opinion, the crusts are always uniformly thin on a CO3 and never velvet-like and patchy. I think many feel it is a CO3 based on the numerous very small chondrules and not the crust. I agree the chondrules are too small for an LL, CV, CR, CK or even an L. They are too numerous for a CM2 which are sparsely populated. This leaves only CO, H or Anom types as candidates. I picked an H type because I have seen examples with exceedingly small chondrules, velvet like flat black crusts and friable matrixes.

Very good image! It will be fun to see what this new fall really is. If nothing else, it will prove how unreliable images can be and will emphasize the importance of having a laboratory characterize these rocks. I found this to be true in the Mystery Main Mass contests of the past. In the name of fun, I will honor all bets. The only stipulation is that it has to be collected in Tucson if I lose.

Re: Re: [meteorite-list] Norwegian meteorite classification guessing game
Being IMCA member #0042 I bet 4242.42 g, and clearly vote for a general C-type (an 84.42% guess) with a careful 4.42% side-guess of it being an early H-type and the rest (11.16%) of it being something else to be clearly resolved as what it clearly is some time later by all the esteemed scientists and high-end equipment involved. The last word is for them! My vote .99 grams (becouse Mike will be there :D My guess: 84.84 $/g if it remains a rather small TKW, 42.42 $/g if much more is surfaced. Could even go down to 24.24 $/g at the extremes or less [..though Norway is not Spain or Portugal with their latest falls..:-)]. Then again it depends on the classification. Rather high price first, then going down, as more material surfaces, (..or a complicated situation is generated perhaps in case more dealers get involved), then prices going up again in the end if TKW remains rather small and it all gets somehow exhausted... Interesting news: the donation of the finders of the 2-pounder piece to the Norwegian state!! Without any refund in any way???

Now I know what subject interests a lot of meteorite collectors/dealers. Seems like a good test of hands-on experience. What about Origins? Anyone wish to guesstimate where this thing came from based upon a pic? Probably not too difficult based upon your picture analysis which allowed you to classify. I for one like to dream about where in the solar system or beyond such examples originate based upon classification. Come on guys get beyond the facts. REALLY allow your imaginations to fly Humor me.
