Hello Chris and List- Another worth noting is NWA 096. When cut, it smelled like bubble gum. This was noticed by myself and quite a few others.

Re: [meteorite-list] Stinky meteorites
I recently received a small baggy that had about 13g of freshly-cut Allende slices and internal fragments. When I first opened the baggy, I stuck my considerable nose into the opening and inhaled. It had a distinct musty odor to it - like some old piece of fabric that had been sitting in an attic or basement for a long time - almost sulfur-like.

Re: [meteorite-list] Stinky meteorites
Hi List...something to addrecently I recieved my best-yet Camel Donga in the mail, appropriately packaged from down under, although the inner wrapping was a generous coil of TP (toilet paper, chemically scented, no less)... Alas! As a mychophile, naturally I smell every new specimen ungo to bless my forays, the small a key character to published and described species. I didn't expect the pungent odor of pretty-stuff to envelop my new complete and awesome eucrite, so I allowed it to sit under the scope over-night, in hopes of no sugar-plums dancing around in the morning. Fortunately, no residudal smell, that I could detect, twelve hours later; yet/and thanks to that shiney crust I hope no terestrial crap happened to it.but it does re-inforce the need for awareness on shipping and packaging.
