Hello Adam, Rob, All,
First-off, bit of a brain fart there - I didn't mean Wold Cottage, but
rather was trying to refer to the chondritic clasts in Cumberland
Falls...thanks Bernd...I think I should get some slack for writing
college apps and doing mets at the same time ;)
My point is that typica
Puzzled about what to buy that meteorite lover for Christmas? Why not
put a copy of my book "The Art of Collecting Meteorites" under their
Christmas tree?
The Art of Collecting Meteorites is the first book dedicated solely to
the theory and methodology of collecting meteorites. The hobby's

Relatively in the same general area of the sky, very diffuse, but still
visible in binoculars, Comet Holmes fades into astronomical history after
causing quite a stir and leaving us with a mystery.

Hello Al Haggounians,
Whatever we interpret into or out of our "paleochondritic" material,
for me it all boils down to what Jeff Grossman wrote - namely that
we will have to wait and see what the formal literature brings!
I've been looking at my two small slices over and over again tonight at

Hi Jason and List,
Jason, you are talking about primitive achondrites
containing relic chondrules not evolved and brecciated
Aubrites. These are well defined chondrules and can be
found in most of this material. As far as I know, not
a single chondrule, let alone a relic has ever been
found in a s

Wold Cottage, as well as several Acapulcoites and Winonaites contain
chondrule remains, though the official definitions of such meteo
Dear List,
I just thought I would throw my opiniion into the
discussion.
It is obvious that this meteorite contains chondrules
therefore calling it anything but a chondrite doesn't
make any sense to me. These round objects cannot be
mistaken for anything else. Radial pyroxene and
barred olivine

Dear Greg, Matteo and all,
Whatever other scientists have found, Albert Jambon has made the classification
as an AUBRITE. He took over a year to work on this
meteorite and he is the ONLY SCIENTIST who went to the site to study even the
age of the ground where the meteorites have been found

Hi list, I have been fascinated by the difficulty in identifying this
meteorite find as an Aubrite, EL3, EL6, EL6/7 or EL7 (did I miss a few?), but
what
also has me amazed is the dispute on the "Fossil Meteorite" determination.
I have noticed 4 material types in the just over 100 Kg I have
