List members and Matt,

The Spade meteorite looks and reads like a very special find. Congratulations
to Matt for being the one to get involved with this new find. I was wondering
what meteorite was the last significant find in the US that was shared with
the public like this one...with a couple kilos (+3 kg) available for
purchase? Just curious...I can't recall one in the last 4 or 5 years that
I've been involved...except maybe Gold Basin of course.

For me it(Spade) being an IMB is extra exciting because I find the impact
melt breccias to be very unique materials. As I said to Matt, this type of
material reminds of glass when looking at its' broken edges. The metal
quantity looks extreme for the Spade material...even for an H.

I also found the article on shock metamorphism by Dr. Rubin to be very
interesting. Occurrences of S5, annealed back to S2, and then shocked again
to S4, etc. for one example makes me wonder if some of the changes in
petrologic levels actually occurs during these extreme shock and melt
processes?

Random thoughts as usual,

John
