You moved 15m = to the left, right? Best regards, Serguei As promised here are some photos as well as the coordinates (That I took = myself in the middle of the strewnfield with my garmin 12XL) of the CR2 = strewnfield in Zagora morocco.=20 http://www.meteoriteshop.com/cr2-strewnfield.htm As you can see this is a very easy to search over strewnfield. No = vegetation or anything to make searching difficult. Most of the people = in the photo searching has meteorites canes or a magnet on a string but = my photos never showed that to well. I was told that several months ago = there would be hundreds on people a day searching but now there is only = a dozen or so die hards with really nothing else to do. Even in an area = with 80% unemployment the strewnfield seems hopeless to most locals now. = I met 4 or 5 people who showed me their metal detectors that they = searched with. Obviously the exact elipse will not be known since = everybody just picked up the rocks without recording the exact = coordinates but this should not be considered a meteorite without known = coordinates. You know exactly where the strewnfield is at. The locals = knew exactly where to look and you can easily go inside the strewnfield. = Only two people had any CR2 when I was there and both pieces were much = less than a gram. There is pretty much no more meteorites in that = strewnfield. I beleive the TKW to be between 12 and 14 kilos. And its = all being dumped on the market at once. I pretty much got everything = that is left in the Zagora/Tagounite area as most people gave me their = meteorites to sell on consignment for them in Tucson which will net them = more money than selling outright to other dealers. I dont think that = there is a kilo left in morocco anymore. I will have lots in tucson to sell and I just want to move the stuff = quick like I always do with my meteorites. I dont really have an = interest in holding out for higher prices so I will be selling it for = $25 a gram in Tucson for as long as my one and a half kilos (Which I = already have over half sold) lasts. Taking a quick profit and moving on = to the next meteorite is fine with me.=20 I think that this meteorite should have a name. Having a large number of = low TKW main masses of NWA meteorites that you know exactly where they = came from (Like what is being done with the Libyan CO3 strewnfield = (which disguises the fact that the TKW is an eight of a ton or more) and = knows exactly what their classification is seems silly to me. It also = seems like a waste of precious researcher time and resources to go = through the motions to classify the same meteorite over and over again. = I know first hand in how short supply classification resources are. But = I dont make the rules. And I will soon have all of my stuff sold and = have moved on to the next meteorite so I wont care much anymore then. For those of you into fossils look at a really cool trilobite slab that = I got last week in morocco also: http://www.meteoriteshop.com/trilobite.htm I had a lot of fun this trip. I spend time in the desert in nomad camps = and went to the Hamid border town with Algeria where I bought = meteorites. I hope to go back again soon. Home you enjoy. I will see as many of you as possible in Tucson.
