I was there from Tuesday = until Friday, so unfortunately I missed the auction and party.=20 There were of course many nice meteorites out there, just not enough = money to buy them all.=20 One thing I did pick up was a new meteorite.=20 This stone weighs 1676 grams, and was found in July in the Campo del = Cielo strewnfield. It was found on the surface and the hunters thought = that it was a Campo graphite nodule. Hans Koser told me about it in = August and that he thought it might be Campo. He had it so when I say it = in Denver, I knew it was a chondrite. I bought it from him and cut it = when I got home, it is a very beautiful chondrite, high metal, few = chondrules but those are armored. The stone has many plow cuts, so it = has been hit many times. It is under analysis now in Russia, should = have the data very quickly.=20 While it is only a chondrite, it is finally a new meteorite from = anywhere but Northwest Africa. Ill have photos on my website later today.=20 PS, I updated my website all over with many new meteorites, nice = Tenhams, new NWA irons, etc. Check them out, some great items!=20 Mike Farmer http://www.meteoritehunter.com=20 ------=_NextPart_000_001F_01C263B7.E5D4F8E0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello everyone, I have been very quiet = lately, just=20 catching up on family time with my wife. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Denver was a little slow, lots of fun = though.
