Hi Pete, List,
Good question. I don't have your answer but have been pondering on
the main mass thing myself. When I see the words main mass
mentioned, I conjure up a mental image of the biggest piece of
meteorite recovered from the strewn field of a known fall.
Otherwise, if you
What is the smallest Main Mass and as a bonus
question, who has it?
I hold a NWA 1953 @ 11.73 gm.
Anyone got a smaller one?

Yo,
We have some Californian meteorites in the 0.6-7g range - and they're
complete, yet to be analyzed -

Thanks Peter,
I found the picture doing a web search. It had no description other than
it's weight.
Best wishes,

From the Tanzania homepage:
Mesurant plus de 3 m de long, et pesant plus de 15 tonnes, la
météorite de Mbozi (sur la route de Mbeya) est la troisième plus
grande météorite du monde. Découverte en 1942.
Translation: More than 3 meters long, more than 15 t, the 3rd largest
in the world.
Peter was quick enough to say: Mbosi, Tanzania, 1930

I concur but Buchwald says its estimated weight is 16 tons. The
main mass pictured in the meteorite quiz is a protected monument.
It seems Meteorites A to Z is correct - as always! - with the date
of discovery:

That's what Buchwald says too:
A large mass partly embedded in the soil but not associated with a crater,
was reported in 1930 by W.H. Nott, a private surveyor ... the mass had, how-
ever, been known for generations by
Hello list, I am trying to not send out samples of rocks for identification! I found some rocks in an one area. They are as magnetic as any stony in my collection and are really heavy! If it has metal it is rust! There is what looks like it might be shock veins. The big problem is it has small

There are ordinary chondrites more reduced than the H group. Burnwell is
one. Others were studied by:

Another paper was later written by McCoy, Keil, Scott, Benedix, Ehlmann,
Mayeda, and Clayton, titled Low-FeO Ordinary Chondrites: A Nebular
Origin And New Chondrite Parent Body, published in the 25th LPSC, 1994.
In it they studied Wray (a), Cerro los Calvos, Willaroy,
Yes, but the Wasson paper has the final word, as the McCoy work is not
peer-reviewed.

I hope this email finds you well. I was doing a bit of reading tonight and

Hi list,
I was looking through my planetary geology textbook and came across thiss:
"In 1996 a meteor was observed to skip off our atmosphere, and slightly less then one orbit later it re-entered the atmosphere and landed in southern california."
Does anyone know which meteorite this is and
25 matches
