Subject: [meteorite-list] Santa Vitoria do Palmar meteorite finally official


To everybody interested & involved,

most of you already know that Meteoritical Bulletin N? 90 is out. The data
base of the Bulletin has also been updated and we are happy to announce that
the latest meteorite from Brazil, the beautiful unequilibrated Santa Vitoria
do Palmar meteorite (L3), finally has become official.

Most of you will still remember the arguments on this list that accompanied
the first news of the discoveries in Brazil. Only those who submitted
meteorites themselves to the Meteoritical Society can imagine the relief the
official status will bring. I can only encourage everybody to choose this
long and sometimes winding road by submitting samples and complete find data
to a classifying lab. Each piece of information will contribute to the
knowledge transfer to coming generations.

Our honoured list member Larry Lebofsky, chief editor of Meteorite Magazine,
was so kind to consider the publication of the complete story of the
discoveries and the analysis of the Santa Vitoria do Palmar meteorite in the
coming November issue. So everybody watch out for the coming issue and get a
subscription if you aren't a subscriber yet.

We still keep three large slices of the SVdP meteorite, 600gm 175gm and
145gm respectively, each with both, the shock-blackened and the light
coloured unaltered lithology. We will gladly deal with requests of
scientific institutions or public collections to enable further studies on
this exceptional meteorite. Please contact us for more information.

I would like to thank everybody involved, especially Dr. Ansgar Greshake for
his thorough classification as well as the finder Senor Correia and the
curator of the Museo Municipal Cel. Tancredo F. de Mello, Brazil, Senor
Monzon, for their countless contributions.

Best regards

Svend Buhl
