[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update - 8 OC's from various localities

Greetings Bulletin Watchers, 8 new approvals today. All are ordinary chondrites. One is from California, and the rest are from Oman, Libya, and NWA. Linkage - http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?sea=&sfor=names&ants=&falls=&valids=&stype=contains&lrec=50&map=ge&browse=&country=All&srt=n

Re: [meteorite-list] New unpaired CO3.6 Meteorites!

Hi Bernd and List, I agree. Old-school collectors have their reasons to resent the NWA flood (some of those reasons are valid), but nobody can argue against the fact that NWA meteorites have been a great boon to science and collectors. I can understand the viewpoint of the old-school collectors

Hi Listees and Collectors, The start of the school year means that outreach and educational activities are in full swing again. Meteorwrongs should have a place in meteorite education because they help illustrate the differences and similarities between meteorites and terrestrial rocks. Ideally,

MikeG commented: "Some of the latecomers might have missed the peak of the NWA Gold Rush, but it's still a great time to be a collector." Hello All, I was one of the "firstcomers" and instantly realized that this would really be(come) a unique bonanza. Several of my NWAs have early NWA numbers

Re: [meteorite-list] Diogenite Nomenclature

Hi Mike, No. The "Olivine diogenites" do not display systematically a texture different to that of regular diogenites. Tatahouine is not a correct example because it is unbrecciated and have very large crystals. The largest I have seen is 5 cm in length! Tatahouine is unique. NWA 5480 is exception

Re: [meteorite-list] New unpaired CO3.6 Meteorites!

Hi John and List, Those are gorgeous meteorites. And what are the odds of two rare sub-types being found and classified in succession? I can't recall two sequential classifications of the same rare sub-type. It seems that 2012 has been a very interesting year for rare meteorite types. We have

Re: [meteorite-list] Accepted Meteorite Classification

Hi Mendy, I clicked on the link and it was a 404. Here is a copy-paste of the type list I use for reference. I culled it from David Weir's website, the Met Bulletin, and discussions on this list. As you can, the rabbit hole goes pretty deep. :) Best regards, MikeG Carbonaceous Chondrites :

Hi Diogenite Fans, Any time we have a discussion about diogenites, I look forward to Doug Dawn's input. Calling Mr. Dawn, calling Mr. Dawn. :) >From a layman's standpoint, the difference between olivine diogenites and "regular" diogenites is easy to see in a hand specimen. The texture of

Re: [meteorite-list] Accepted Meteorite Classification

Hi Mendy, it is an excellent reference. Recently, Paul Warren has published an interesting paper in EPSL, and he proposes revisions based on stable isotopes, which are justified. Anyway, the MESSII paper is still an up to date reference. cheers Jean-Alix Selon Mendy Ouzillou : > Is the foll

[meteorite-list] Accepted Meteorite Classification

Is the following paper "Systematics and Evaluation of Meteorite Classification" an acceptable reference to build my type list? Not sure when it was written though the file name says 2009. Realizing there are probably minor changes or updates and that this is an ever changing area (as I just lea

Re: [meteorite-list] Diogenite Nomenclature

Hi, the "problem" of the taxonomy of diogenites has been discussed recently in this paper: Andrew W. BECK and Harry Y. McSWEEN Jr (2010),Diogenites as polymict breccias composed of orthopyroxenite and harzburgite, Meteoritics & Planetary Science, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2010, Pages: 850–872, DOI

Introducing! NWA 7005 & NWA 7006 It's not very often such a significant discovery is made in succession, sent from outer space, landing on Earth at different times and places, found by members of the Berber tribe who are a native nomadic culture and the foremost meteorite hunters of North West

[meteorite-list] Diogenite Nomenclature

Dear List Members and fellow diogenite enthusiasts, I talked with Tony Irving this morning regarding the use of 'Olivine Diogenite' in classifications and abstracts. I have been enlightened to the ever evolving diogenite classification scheme. Seems a new 'pigeon hole' has been created due to n
