Reminds me of the Magadan, Russia meteor in July, 2000. There's a video of it about halfway down my films page. www.meteorites.com.au/films/ If anyone wants the meteor/truck commercial it is also availale here: http://www.meteorites.com.au/films/desertmeteor.wmv.

I recently bought a stone from a collector, with British Museum label, 39 grams, Nininger #197V British Museum # 1959-756." http://www.meteoriteguy.com/collection/pasamonte.htm heck it out and tell me what you think. Gee, that's *g r e a t* ... like looking at the Holy Grail of meteorites! " I am stoked about adding this rare little puppy to my "new" collection. " One can really see "live" and "on-line" how excited Michael F. must have been because in his write-up you can read that this stone "have" serious provenance. Well, who wouldn't be overcome with such joy if we were him! Pasamonte is a polymict, very friable, brecciated, noncumulate eucrite and resembles my little Stannern piece that I purchased from Martin Horejsi some time ago: black, glossy, frothy fusion crust, a shining white interior, fragile and *beautiful*. Only difference: Stannern is monomict. Pasamonte is unique in many different respects: another unique feature was its glowing, twisted and distorted trail of ionized atmosperic gases similar to the lingering trail of the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite. Mike, sincere congrats on the acquisition of this "drool-worthy" beauty! Bernd Received on Tue 03 Jan 2006 06:59:03 PM PST |
