Dear list,

Yes a new CV3 mania.

With my team we have recovered too 2 different CV3 (one is listed on my
website www.caillou-noir.com local name Tioulaoualene, analyzed by Jambon in
LPMC Jussieu, publication pending ) and another one, 1954 g in many pieces
found 2003. (Local name Ain Ouinet, Analyse at Open University, in process)
I know that some people of my field party also extract some of what they
find for me and send it through their caravan networks to Algeria and then
Morocco. ( Probably for funding the Pelisson-Al Qaida coalition ;-) !!!)
Has anyone an idea of where these new CV3 that make passionate debates on
this list are supposed to come from, or said to come from. I am always
impressed by dealers creativity )

Best regards.

Michel

were 3 new CV3s in Tucson this year. One was a nice gray with blueish
hibbonite (sp?) crystals in it. Terry Boswell had some in his room. I am
not sure of the differences in the other two. I sent some of my material
off to be classified, if it was different, or to find out it was the same as
something already being classiffied. Either way is fine I just want to know
what to call it. I would not be surprised if the pieces Adam Hupe just put
on eBay are the same material. That thin 10.3 gram piece with the chondrule
sticking out both sides is so cool. No matter what the NWA number(s)
finally wind up on it, it is great looking material.
