Re: [meteorite-list] interstellar meteorite anyone?

2018-03-08 Thread Alfredo Petrov via Meteorite-list
Other possible Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud objects:

Khatyrka meteorite - https://www.mindat.org/loc-2717.html - Has undergone
an enormous amount of study because of the presence of quasicrystals in it
(the first known from a natural source). All known fragments are in the
hands of researchers; none for sale, as far as I know. But f anyone wants
to fund a sluicing expedition to a remote Siberian creek, there's a good
chance of finding more ;))

Hypatia meteorite - https://www.mindat.org/loc-299029.html - recent find in
Egypt. Contains native aluminium and a crazy amount of diamond.

Cheers,
Alfredo Petrov

We’re much too busy building bigger badder weapons and trying to cure male

Damn shame for sure...

It is regrettable that Earthlings are not technologically advanced
enough to intercept and sample interstellar objects like `Oumuamua
which entered our solar system on a hyperbolic orbit and is now gone
forever. What a missed opportunity!

There are none we know of.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newscientist.com/article/2100887-canadian-meteorite-may-be-first-visitor-from-the-kuiper-belt/amp/

That article speculates that Tagish Lake might have originated from the Kuiper 
Belt, but there is no way to confirm even that.

Maybe someday Voyager will send us back a useful bit of data that somehow can 
connect a specimen to an interstellar source.  ;-)
