> I want to practice my polishing skills on some low-value UNWA stones,
> and I want to experiment with the different grits.

>> Good Morning everybody,
>>
>> After reading through the various posts on the subject,
>> private correspondence,
>> media reports, field photos, coordinates and information
>> streaming in from
>> Morocco, I personally have arrived at the conclusion that
>> Tamdakht is a
>> meteorite fall, which is much better documented than
>> similar events of the
>> past. I appreciate the work the Morrocan enthusiasts,
>> hunters and dealers have
>> accomplished. Particularly as they were able to locate the
>> fall site before the
>> heavy rains in mid January.
>>
>> Philippe Thomas was already so kind to share information on
>> his website and I
>> think he did a great job in giving an accurate picture. I
>> too had the fortune
>> to receive 1st hand reports from the field from our
>> Moroccan friends and I have
>> compiled these in the report published here:
>>
>> http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/meteorite%20tamdaght%202.htm
>>
>> The report also contains the English translation of the
>> article in "Al Masah"
>> from December 28. Note that the article speaks of a similar
>> fireball sighting
>> in Tunesia from December 18. The Tunesian fireball also
>> produced seismic shock
>> waves. This may become interesting should fresh finds from
>> Tunesia become
>> public in the near future.
>>
>> I may add a few personal thoughts on issues discussed here
>> on the list,
>> regarding the Tamdakht fall and its recovery:
>>
>> "the impact was heard"
>>
>> Several witnesses, including those interviewd by the
>> newspaper "Al Masah"
>> stated that a "seismic shock wave was heard and the
>> ground was shaking at the
>> "collision of the celestial body with a
>> mountain." At that time the location of
>> the potential touchdown was still unknown. It is most
>> probable that eye
>> witnesses, unfamiliar with meteoritic phenomena, presumed
>> that such sounds
>> could only be caused by an explosion due to an impact.
>> Anybody who has ever
>> done an interview with an eyewitness of a meteorite fall
>> will recognize this
>> assumption as it is quite common.
>>
>> "the crater vs. impact pit issue"
>>
>> There has been some confusion regarding field images from
>> the Tamdakht area. It
>> is very common to hear "pit" or "hole"
>> translated as "crater". We had that with
>> the Hosur fall and the Bassikounou fall, where eye
>> witnesses and official
>> sources reported "craters" that were in fact an
>> impact pits, or impact holes.
>> This is particularly an issue when reports in Arab or
>> French are translated
>> into English, but there are probably a number of other
>> languages that do not
>> provide capability to distinguish between both terms
>> precisely.
>>
>> "chondrules vs no chondrules"
>>
>> Anyone who had the chance to study material of the Tamdakht
>> fall will agree
>> that the material differs enough from the known Mahgreb
>> falls to distinguish it
>> from other material circulating. Most fractured surfaces
>> show chondrules,
>> although they are usually small (1-2mm) and are quite
>> fading with the
>> surrounding matrix. Some fractured surfaces show
>> slickensides on which there
>> are no chondrules to see, which explains the comment of a
>> honored list member,
>> who did not find chondrules on the fractured surfaces of
>> his specimen. Any
>> larger polished cut surface will show well defined
>> chondrules in good contrast.
>>
>>
>> We will continue the report on our website with additional
>> informatio and I am
>> looking forward to hear impressions on the new material
>> from Tucson.
>>
>> Thanks for your interest
