Shawn and Listers,

Great post and link, Shawn. Thank you. No further work beyond classification has been done on Cat Mountain 001 and none is planned at this point. I was lucky to get someone to look at this specimen.

The tough thing to acomplish today is to get probe time. And the expense if it's available, cause it ain't gonna happen unless there is monetary motivation. The increasing awareness of meteorites having value has flooded the inboxes of the individuals and institutions with the experience and equipment to do analysis with terrestial trash. They really don't want any more submissions except from those hunters with whom they have a longstanding relationships...or from someone popping up with a already pre-classified lunar.

Best to all,

Count Deiro
IMCA 3536

>I have to say Count what a great job with another great find. I think you are a good luck charm. Can you please come out to NYC and let do hunt, knowing you, you will find a Lunar in the first min of the hunt. What do you say about that..... :) At any rate have you had the CRE tested by chance? I have read that the calculated exposure age puts Cat Mountain at about 20 Ma? And for those of you that would like to read up on this more take a look at this link down below.

>Well... Congratulations Carl. You are the first to let the Cat out of the proverbial bag. The find (and just a reminder as I have seen some posts, I never said it was a cold one) is a pairing with Cat Mountain and I hope the MetSocCom will approve Cat Mountain 001.

>It was spotted fifteen minutes into an eyeball hunt on Snyder Hill in late March not far from the published location of the original find of the late Mr. William Goldup in the early 1980's.
>
>The area is now extremely trashy and too popular with the kids on bikes and ATVs. Heavily used dirt paths all over and a four lane paved road and a subdivision within spitting distance. Someone with better skills than mine, with a VLF tech detector, might be able to work subsurface and do some good as this meteorite has substantual metal. The hill has been worked hard since this find by several hunters with just a few grams of unrelated chondrite found. Good luck to anyone else going on it.

>The interior is a little darker than the exterior and all the white you see is metal. The interior is as dark as a carbonaceous chondrite. The best way to describe the exterior is igneous melt with all kinds of blebs and layers..just like slag. This rock got hammered hard, and repeatedly, in its cosmic life. That's why the classification carries an S3 to some of it S5 description.
