G'day List, =20 Today I got to thinking how most of the 'Prestige' in meteorites = generally goes to the Achondrites, Pallasites etc. The good lookers! ;-) = So I thought I would throw this out to everyone and ask what your = favourite Ordinary Chondrite is because there are some really amazing = meteorites which this classification. It doesn't matter what your reason = is. It may be that it's just a really attractive piece or possibly the = story behind how it was found or fell. If everyone gets into the spirit = of it, I'll tally up all the answers in a week or so and let everyone = know the Top Picks! We may find some surprising results! You can give up = to 5 favourites and I'll start with these picks: =20 1) Knyachinya (L/LL5) - Birthday meteorite with great fresh crust and = a really nice colourful brecciated matrix. =20 2) Parnallee (LL3.6) - Put simply: Rare, Old and Awesome matrix.=20 =20 3) NWA 965 (LL4) - Tiny TKW with a matrix choc full of multi-coloured = crisp chondrules. =20 4) Richfield (LL3.7) - If you haven't seen a larger piece or a good = photo of one; time to change that! =20 5) Bensour (LL6) - As fresh & dramatic as it gets. Whitish matrix with = jet black fusion crust! Too cool! =20 =20 Looking forward to hearing some responses, =20 Jeff Kuyken I.M.C.A. #3085 www.meteoritesaustralia.com =20 =20 (P.S.
