Not to forget Boguslavka!

One of the only 6 observed falls
and, as observed iron falls are rare,
with its 256kg the second largest iron fall behind Sikhote-Alin.

Only 2 pieces felt and they fit together.
Both are exhibited in the famous Fersman-Musum in Moscow.
Picture here: www.fmm.ru/meteoritesen/bogusen.htm

Chladni's Heirs are customizing at the moment collector-friendly partslices,
some with true fusion crust.

Buckleboo!
Martin

Hi Anne,

I guess you don't have that attractive mini Coahuila specimen any more since
you didn't mention it :-( !!!
I've seen several big slices of this hexahedrite IIAB (IIA according to
Jeff's database is the official MetBase classification) recently being sold
recently. Also, Blaine had a full slice fit for a king's museum that truly
is the greatest stuff of my dreams, and Martin and Matteo has one posted
(not for sale) for all to appreciate:

http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/photos/COAHUILA_matteo2.JPG .

I'd really like to trade for this locality if anyone is interested, please
let me know.

Best wishes, Doug
