[meteorite-list] Karoonda specimens larger than 2 grams

Hello Bob and List, Remember that 84 gram beauty in Bob Haag's 1989 Catalogue (p. 14), 1991 Catalogue (p.35), 1997 Catalogue (p. 35), and, 2003 => The Robert Haag Collection of Meteorites (p. 85): "AMNH trade"... but that's surely the exception to the rule! So you are absolutely right: Sizeable p

[meteorite-list] Karoonda

Hello Bob and list, For those of you who have held onto Edwin Thompson Meteorites mail order catalogs dating from October 1984 up until the Spring 2001 final catalog, there are a number of sizeable pieces of Karoonda. In fact, until recently I still had very nice thin sections of Karoonda. I b
