Hi all
The strewn field map for the WI fall with my data was posted on UWI site a about a month ago.
I also emailed all who had req a copy In case anyone didn't receive it and still wants a larger size one for printing-pls email me off list with "Map needed" in the subject line.
Pls note that it needs to be updated with more recent confirmed data - so if you do not see your find shown- pls email or call me.

If anyone is going to the area pls contact me also.

I thank all for their kind words- this has been a fun project and I will continue to collect data locally for 1 year or more, with Univ of WI.
Thanks

Subject: [meteorite-list] AD: Wisconsin find NOT for sale - Other US Falls
        are on eBay - Charlotte, Nobleborough,
        Petersburg - also fusion-crusted LA2

Hello List,

My recent trip to Wisconsin was a very enjoyable meteorite hunt and it has given me many memories that will last a lifetime. Certainly, finding a meteorite from this April 14th 2010 fall is a memory I'll never forget. But the bills for the trip are now due. And instead of paying for my trip by cutting slices from my one and only WI find (31 grams), I thought I would offer for sale other specimens of U.S. falls from my collection on eBay:

<http://shop.ebay.com/bolide*chaser/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340>

The CHARLOTTE Meteorite. This Iron - IVA type, Fell to Earth on July 31, 1835 at 1400hrs, in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA.
Charlotte (Iron, IVA), etched-slice (0.34g)

The NOBLEBOROUGH Meteorite. This Achondrite - Polymict Eucrite type, Fell to Earth on August 7th, 1823 at 16:30hrs, in Lincoln County, Maine, USA.
Nobleborough (AEUC), slice (0.098 grams)

The PETERSBURG Meteorite. This Achondrite - Polymict Eucrite type, Fell to Earth on August 5th, 1855 at 15:30hrs, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, USA.
Petersburg, partslice (0.12 grams)

All of these classical USA Falls have the same provenance: from Russ Kempton at NEMS via the Michael Cottingham Meteorite Collection.

Not a Fall, but still destined to be a classic USA meteorite - the Los Angeles Mars-rock Shergottite - endcut (0.85g) a special offering for the collector that is a FUSION-CRUST aficionado!

If interested, there are more images on the auction site.
All of the above specimens are now listed on eBay:

Hope you enjoy the images,
