David, Martin and list,

Nineteen pallasites! Wow! I am a ways behind, but I'll post my list of
thirteen:

Admire
Ahumada
Albin
Brahin
Brenham
Esquel
Glorieta Mountain
Huckitta
Imilac
Molong
Philips County (thin section of olivine only)
Quijinique
Theil Mountains


I have also seen for sale at one time or another (since I got involved in
1988):

Acomita
Dora
Eagle Station
Finmarken
Krasnojarsk
Marjalahti
Sommervell County
Springwater

That would bring the list of reasonably possibles in a private collection to
21 pallasites. I also recall communicating with someone on this list in the
last year or so who told me that Mount Dyrring has been available, though I
have not seen that myself. That would be 22. Nineteen pallasites is very
impressive, and I do hope you post your list of localities.

Hi David,

I would venture that there area about 19 pallasites available to collectors.
My guess would go up to 20 when you get another one. But seriously, if you
posted your list to the List, others could supplement it if possible. That
might give you your answer.

Cheers,

Martin
