Hello Morton and List,

This may be just a minor point but for purposes of
clarification, I would like to suggest that your list
of found stones be renumbered. It has already become
a matter of public record that the 3rd stone was found
prior to 23 July. See Mike Mazur's post:

<http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2006-August/186072.html>

You and I have talked at length about this "3rd stone"
before you made your find of the 4th stone, and there
are already a number of email messages that have made
reference to the "23July find" being the 3rd stone.
Maintaining the chronology that you intended in your
listing of the Moss meteorite finds will minimize
confusion "down the road".

Thanks for giving this some consideration, and
congratulations for being the first meteorite hunter
to find a whole stone of the Moss meteorite!
Bob V.

Hi meteorite mailinglist.

I`m one of the finder of the Moss-meteorite (I found
together with Mike F) It will come a full report with
all details later from Knut J?rgen R?ed ?degaard and
me about this fall. But can here summarize little. So
far its been found five stones at total weight at
aprox 3,1 kg.

1. 35 gr - The first at Martinsens cabin, found friday
14. july 1025 (as the fall time)
2. 750 gr - Johansens house, monday 17. july.
3. 800 gr - Who I together with Mike Farmer found
sunday 30 july.
4. 6-800gr - [23July] Its minimal information about
this stone. Michael Mazur or Bj?rn S?rheim have some
info.
5. 676 gr - Found on a company`s roof friday 4 august.

I have seen all the stones in my hand exept nr. 4 only
at pictures. Nr. 2 and 5 are whole pieces (very
minimal damage) They are also paired. Nr. 3 are in
many pieces. Nr. 4 are at least in two pieces (maybe
more) and the smallest nr. 1 has lost some few smaller
pieces.
Over a kilo is available at the marked so far, but not
nr. 1, 2 and 5.

Havent time for more details now, are in the
strewnfield every day (I live only 20 minutes from the
strewnfield) Full report later.

Best wishes
