The 349 grams missing from Nullabor 010 is probably
the Nova 001 ureilite. Ron Farrell reported it to the
NomCom as having been found in the Nuevo Mercurio
strewn field. Its initial name was Neuvo Mercurio (b),
if memory serves. But there were enough questions about i
ts actual origin that the NomCom voted to give it a
name without a place. The name Utopia 001 was considered
but rejected.

Hello all,

I have a question for the list, maybe this has come up before, maybe some
of you know this as common knowledge. I was reading an old article from
Meteoritics - "Igneous petrology of the new ureilites Nova 001 and
Nullarbor 010" by Treiman and Berkley, v. 29, p843.

In there is a statement "The Nullarbor 010 ureilite was found in 1991 as a
350-g stone; the location of only ~1-g is known."

Where are the other 349-g of it? Could it be that the finder truly wanted
to remain anonymous? But then why put in this statement? Is there really
349 g of missing ureilite? Everyone empty your pockets at the door......


Thanks,
Steven
