Hello All.
That is a beautiful individual. Dalgaranga is a very nice meteorite and very
stable. I think it is by far my favorite meso. I decided to quickly put up a
picture of one of the larger pieces of dalgaranga that we have in our
personal collection.

Hi folks,

during my meteorite travels in Chicago last week, I picked up a great
looking Australian mesosiderite individual named Dalgaranga, and was
reliably informed by the curator that "this is the only metallic specimen of
Dalgaranga in existence", with all the remaining 10kg being shale and
completely oxidised mesosiderite. If that's the case, I'm well pleased to be
the present owner, but does anyone know if that's so, or of any other
metallic Dalgaranga specimens out there?
I've linked through to some pictures below that I thought you might like to
see. It's an oriented specimen with fine flow lines over the "dome"...the
rollover lip is just about there, but has suffered from weathering somewhat.
The backside obviously once contained silicate inclusions, but these have
either weathered out to leave pockets, or simply didn't survive being torn
off the larger mass in flight. David Weir suggested to me that this mostly
iron individual was once a metallic nodule, ripped away from it's
surrounding stony matrix in flight, and it's certainly looking that way.
I ground a small corner this afternoon and etched the polished face to
reveal a very fine Widmanstatten pattern, similar to the figures which
appear on the metal blebs in my Estherville slice, plus a couple of tiny
silicate inclusions.
Here's the pictures.....enjoy! :-)

By the way, I loved Chicago and even managed to catch a Cubs game at Wrigley
Field....I made it as far as the 7th Innings Stretch, but didn't know the
lyrics to "take me out to the ball game", much to everyone's relief!

Cheers,
Rob Elliott.
