Hi List,

Another highlight of the next Ensisheim show (along with the magnetic
determinations of meteorite types by Pierre Rochette, described in my last
post) worth mentioning is by no means the recent acceptance of Norbert
Classen and Siegfried Haberer from Germany, to exhibit most of their recent
extraordinary lunar meteorite finds in Oman.

Norbert and Siegfried found during their expedition last February some
outstanding lunars with very exciting properties that will certainly provide
revolutionary ideas and debates in the scientific community. I am not
supposed to say more but the main masses and their cuts you will see on
display for the first time, along with the corresponding didactic
explanations, are certainly more than worth a visit in the exhibition room
of the museum (where the original 53.831 kg of Ensisheim remaining mass are
sitting).
 Their exhibit of lunars and matrians will implement the already scheduled
display of the similar extraordinary meteorites originating from moon and
mars found in Sahare and stemming from the exceptional collection of Bruno
Fectay and Carine Bidaut.

All in all, this amazing exhibit, enlightened by the pertinent lectures
given by moon and mars meteorites specialists, Prof Gillet (Lyon) and Jambon
(Paris) and complimented by a general overview of the continuation of our
moon and mars knowledge since Appolo missions (by prof. J.C. Lefebvre) is a
unique opportunity for everyone to learn more about our satellite and the
red planet and on how some of their fragments eventually reached the earth
surface.

Hope to see some of you around soon!

Zelimir
