Could Ash Creek/West Texas be the most expensive ordinary chondrite on
the meteorite market (or one of the most expensive)? They seem to cost way more
than Buzzard Coulees..
Sure it is still a pretty resent observed fall, but I get blown away by
the prices per gram... Is it also because of its so
Hi Melanie,
No... it's pricey but there are plenty that are more expensive. When
available, historic falls and rare/special ordinary chondrites can often
consistently sell for more. Ensisheim, Krymka, Semarkona, Sylacauga and even
NWA's like NWA 2892/2748 will consistenly sell for more. It's j

Hello Melanie,
It is indeed an expensive fall, but it is by no means the most
expensive ordinary chondrite.
Stones priced comparably include Ensisheim, and rarer european falls -
too many to list.
Other examples include Zunhua, Peekskill, Worden, Claxton, and the

Folks,
If anyone on the list has a few examples of Nininger's autographs late in

or send me a quick scan of the autograph(s)?
Thank you,

Dear Listmembers,
The people on this list, who work with the K-T Boundary might
consider the likelyhood that the recent formal ratification of the
Quaternary System/Period and the Pleistocene Series/Epoch
systems has changes the "K-T Boundary" to the "K-Pg Boundary"

Not many in the scientific community I work with seem to care about this

Hi Paul:
Yes, I was aware of this. I was working with another associate on a
"Cratering" workshop for teachers and she used the term K-P boundary. She
had to explain it to me and I had to make sure that she needed to explain
this to the teachers and not just throw the term out at them.

Hi Melanie and all,
Noblesville, Indiana is priced around $125 to $200 if you can find it. Sold
for that when it came on the market about ten years ago. Low total weight
usually makes a find or fall higher price.
Watch out for the frauds putting look alike Ash Creek on eBay. Best!

The West/Ash Creek looks really uh, different.

Good answers already, Melanie.
Let me just add that, unless I'm mistaken, it's not all that common to have
video footage of the (daytime) fireball that gave birth to your specimen.
Keep in mind, too, that prices on West/Ash Creek have dropped significantly
since last February/March.
