[meteorite-list] 2.5 kg full slice of Muonionalusta

Hi List, Some time ago I saw a 2.5 kg full slice of Muonionalusta on ebay for $5000 which seemed a little steep since many smaller slices have sold for about $1 a gram since then. It didn't sell. I'm trying to locate the seller who I thought was Arizona Skies, but I emailed John, and it wasn'

[meteorite-list] Huge Ball of Fire Spotted Over Spain

Don't know how they would determine the velocity as 10,000 KPH, but if correct, it would indicate a satellite re-entry, as that is much too low for any interplanetary objects, which have to have as a minimum the earth's escape velocity plus any additional relative velocity they had while t

[meteorite-list] A Call For A New Meteorite List

I agree, We need rules with teeth, ie a moderated list, either this one or a new one!! Mike Fowler While I certainly agree that the flame wars etc. make this list virtually a joke, I do not think a new list would catch on to the point where it would replace this list. It has just been around

[meteorite-list] Look Here ! Best Chondrules I have seen

Looks similar to NWA 1955, the transitional H/L 3-4 chondrite see David Weir: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/9278/ except that most pieces of NWA 1955 have a fragmental outline. This one looks fresher and has rounder outline. NWA 1955 is available from Mile High Meteorites, where I go

[meteorite-list] Proud Tom is Back! funny or NOT!

Dear List, I can see one or two lines that could be absolutely hilarious, but taken as a whole it is repetitive, heavy handed, lacking in finesse and in my opinion mean spirited, and did I say repetitive. Am I the only one to say the emperor has no clothes? Mike Fowler Chicago > I just receive

[meteorite-list] NWA 2635 H7

Hi David, How many meteorite types are in your collection, and how many distinct parent bodies are represented? Thanks, Mike Fowler (a budding type collector) Hello list, I just purchased the final meteorite type to "complete" my systematic collection (now I have thought that many times before

[meteorite-list] Sale and/or Photos - Oriented Amgala individuals

Hi Greg, I notice that the Amgalas in your photos look very brown. Some other photos posted to the list show a very black fusion crust. Is it a difference in the amount of weathering? Thanks, Mike Fowler Chicago Dear Frank and List, This is a fun subject. I knew I had a few oriented Amgala's

[meteorite-list] NWA 1110 is this so complicated?

Maybe I'm missing something. Wouldn't this whole dispute go away if Bob Evans simply changed his description to read: Guaranteed Martian Meteorite, likely paired to NWA 1110 and 1068? Mike Fowler Chicago -- Adam You
