Hello Frank! and List, I also would like to thank Mike Farmer for taking the time to document the West (Ash Creek) story. Thank you Mike for showing how to be a true "meteorite hunter" and document a fall and finds and share the information in a timely fashion. Best Regards, Dirk Ross...T

Hi Rob, Thanks for opining. I was honestly just writing what I was told by several others and did not mean to get into an argument with Dirk, but felt that at this late hour of 12:45am, that I felt Dirk was angry and I apologize to him if I came across as angry or defensive and I will include

I will opine that Kem Kem did have a bit of the catchall going for it but it did not precede NWA numbering The SA or Sahara numbers were first Other catchalls may include Oum Rokba (NWA400), NWA 869, Franconia, Dho 020 And let's slip in an ad...NWA 001 available here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBa

Re: [meteorite-list] Kem-Kem was never the generic for NWA

Hello Jason, Thank you very much for mentioning the information that you are aware of. I didn't mean to be angry at Dirk, but I kind of felt I was being attacked when all I was trying to do was to add to the discussion of Kem Kem and I have learned a great deal about it over the past few days.

Re: [meteorite-list] Kem-Kem was never the generic for NWA

Dirk, Brian, All, This came up on the list a while back; from what I understood, Casper sold those as well as a number of other stones under that name around that time, and only classified one stone, before grouping a number of similar-looking meteorites together under that name (I believe the ment

Dirk, Why are you so angry? Your use of CAPS in INCORRECTLY and rambling on about hippies and food and Berber shave and Burma shave and all kinds of things that sound like you're high or drunk. Are you made at me about something or what has gotten into you? Is it because I asked your opinion

Dear Brian and List, Brian your are incorrect in your history lesson. Michael Casper announced in his December 1999 catalogue that "a new find out of Morocco- Kem-Kem" was "Found in August, 1999. Stone. Classification pending. Kem Kem, Dahara, Morocco". Casper`s catalogue lists: 22.4g @ $44
