Many Thanks, Frank -
The next problem is going to be to tie that osmium
data into parent body size(s). Another problem here
seems to be with istopic ratios and their relationship
to core concentrations. Decay ages are probably going
to be significant as well.
All of this is way out of my league
Hello!
You may also check out "Handbook of elemental Abundances in Meteorites" by
Brian Mason. There is a section that discusses osmium abundances written by
John Morgan, beginning on page 451. He summarized the results of
measurements on chondrites, achondrites, and irons. Table 7 there lists
I agree with Rob and the others that think it's hematite... and it will not
respond to a magnet. A streak test should come out red if it is hematite.

Great thanks, Bernd - once again your efforts come to
the rescue -
If I understand the results of your database search,
what it amounts to is that exactly 2 people are
working on recovering the hard data which will allow
for the accurate estimate of parent body size(s).

Hello Everyone
Does anyone know the total known weight of Dhofar 026 and the
classification? In meteorites from A to Z it's listed as 148 grams total
known weight but, I think thats wrong. I have several samples for sale.
If interested contact me off the list. Thanks for your help.

Hi All,
It looks exactly like hematite to me. I'll venture that
it is completely non-magnetic... --Rob

Dear Paul, Jim, and List;
I go with Paul's opinion on this one. It does seem to have good iron,
but doesn't quite look meteoritic (but I could be wrong). It does look
precipitated, or water eroded on the surface, like it may have spent
some part of its life in a stream bed with water and sand

Greetings Mr. Jim Strope and Fellow Meteorite
Enthusiasts!
The rock in question looks too metallic to me (at
least at the moment) to be just a plain hematite
nodule.
An iron meteorite is also doubtful as the surface,
although a bit rusty and weathered, is still too
smooth and

Hello all -
I recieved a mailing from the Cambridge Conference
which mentioned that the element osmium is very rare
on the Earth and that it is usually found in
geological samples that have found their way to the
surface from the Earth's core, where the osmium
concentrates.
Any idea as to osmi

I still have a little bit of the Cosmos 2374 Glonass Proton booster platform

It looks like either a hematite nodule or jasper.

Hi All, I'd like to publicly thank Dave Harris for obtaining for me a beautiful 485 gram slice of the Gibeon. Further, one of the things I like about doing business with Dave is he kept me informed every step of the way. Additionally, he emailed photos of the piece as soon as he
