I would advocate that we on the list clarify the use of the term 'Martian
meteorite' or 'lunar meteorite' as those bits of Mars or the moon
transported here to Earth descending through our atmosphere as we've been
using these terms all along. This is as versus 'Mars meteorite' or 'Moon
meteorite'
Rosie,
You are correct, although meteor refers to the visual phenomena
associated with the passage of a meteoroid through the atmosphere, not to
the object causing it. What Rubin and I proposed is that impacts onto the
moon or other airless bodies can still result in objects that we call
Now the question:
Whoever knows if there migh be somewhere hidden (in a museum,
collection, or
just cited in the literature...) some even more rare
meteorite, rare being
based on similar criteria as above, thus combining location,
tkw and type,
to take just these three and simplify.
Uh..my rarest piece for me not have a small
TKW, is 2.5 kg., but why is the unique big piece
present in Italy, no museums here in Italy have a
piece, and is a italian fall, is a slice of Messina
fresh matrix and fusion crust. After I have the main
masses of my founds with low TKW.

Dear John and all;

the black is magnetite.
No, this rock in particular is not magnetic at all. I have another suspected

little magnetic but

Sorry Mohamed. While I am always cautiously optimistic about possible Lunar meteorite finds I am afraid that I must agree at this point with my learned colleagues. The photomicrograph seems to reveal that your find is not likely a lunar meteorite. I was most

Hello List,
In the early morning of 17th of January 1999, 4 years ago tomorrow!
a loud bang and a big hole was discovered in 18 thick ice on a
small lake in Atwater, Minnesota.
The hole was about 3 feet in diameter and no one could say for
shure what had caused it. Later some others were found
Hi -
I seem to remember seeing the entire flats under water
a few years back.
If so, and meteorites would have sunk below the
surface. I don't have the foggiest clue how deep,
maybe someone could work it out...
My guess is that nonethelss this may be a good hunting
spot, but only with a metal
Hi,
Good point, E.P.! Also, think about all those nasty little
mammals that love to gnaw on bones. Hyena Heaven! And nobody to
chase'em off. I remember the corny african movies of my childhood
that showed the elephant graveyard. Just envision the dinosaur
graveyard.

I threw a dart at that diagram-dartboard and it
landed on... felsic quartz latite porphyry with
accessory mafic (amphibole) phenocrysts!!? (Whatever

Darn! Not quite a Lunar rock, though, is it.
Well anyway, it was quicker than using a
What acid rain do you refer to? This is an impactor, not a volcanic
eruption. Acid rain would have to be supplied with large quantities of
nitrous and sulfuric compounds in order to cause any damage. So far as I
know, no significant (if any) acid spikes are noted from any deep ice
corings for any

Try reading your copy of Rocks From Space By O. Richard Norton. Offers

Steve,
Before you do anything else. I mean
anything! Get Richard Norton's book "Rocks from Space" and read it.
It is the bible for meteorite enthusiasts. Easy to read and still very
comprehensive.
Once you have enjoyed that book then you can
graduate to the other great texts out there

stony-irons have the final 1%.

Do the NWA numbers suggest a higher number (%)
