Marc,
Thanks for the great job and all the time you put in on this, not to mention
the same on the Ash Creek and Mifflin falls. I guess only time will tell if any
stones are recovered from this data, but EVEN if not, that won't be from lack
of info from you. At least there is more of a chance
I have not seen anything recent, but last I read on here it had been confirmed
already to be paired (5363)
I have a couple nice slices of 5400 and I have to say that its awesome, and I
will be sharing thin section images of it soon.
Looking forward to seeing the 5363 images also!
Hope
Dear List Members,
I read this article today and was impressed with the creative ideas and
positive
approach of bringing awareness of planetary meteorites to the rest of the
world. It is interesting to note how scientists, Canadian astronauts and other
principles are using NWA planetary
Hello Adam and List,
I read this article today and was impressed with the creative ideas and
positive approach of bringing awareness of planetary meteorites to the
rest of the world.
Agreed! But the media shouldn't call a meteorite a meteor ;-)

Hi Bernd and List,
I must have missed the meteor reference. Another very minor error the press
made is that the main mass is at the ROM.
Best Regards,

Hello Tom, Greg and list,
I know that further studies are currently made concerning NWA 5363. I
also know that several recent finds are - strangely - NOT paired to
NWA 5400, despite
the fact that they look very similar.
Here you can see picts of NWA 5363 (please scroll down) and NWA 6292

Hello Listers,
I have some great historic meteorites ending soon on eBay. If you have been
looking for that great meteorite fragment look no further. I have meteorites
from the 1400's all the way up to 2008, all with a great pasts. I was once told
that a meteorite with a history will always
Hello Peter, GregC and Tom,
Peter has it right, each and EVERY suspect 'pairing' to NWA 5400 absolutely
has to have oxygen isotope analysis performed, on every stone. Most people
do not know about the additional stones that 'looked' like NWA 5400, but
oxygen work proved they were not paired.
That was a huge event. There were hundreds of reports describing all the
classic features of a new fall. The area was cold, wet and mushy. There was
fresh snow on the ground. It didn't get much interest here on the list which
surprised me very much.

That would be one amazing fireball, persistence of over 30 minutes over
southern California? Probably a military launch rather than a meteor.
After the Anti-Missile trials of Oct 2005, I don't trust these reports that
aren't supported by radar.
Have a great Sunday hunting the Sonoran desert!
List and those whose feet fit the following shoes,
Peter is quoted by Greg as saying each and every suspected pairing to NWA
5400 absolutely has to have oxygen isotope analysis performed. I empathically
agree.
When I, and other collectors, purchase a specimen of a rarity that commands a

Just for the record, I own no 5363, 5400 or 6292. I have no dog in this
fight.
I do however, hate to see value by exclusion being called Science If
the testing by Dr. Jambon is inadequate, then that is worth discussion,
but this close the door quick so my piece of the pie retains
Tom amd List,
Meteorites are not only a passion of mine, but an investment ..like stocks and
bonds...or art works. The only way I have any protection for my investment is
if dealers can be trusted to follow the same high standards when dealing in
rarites. I'm not talking about paying
