Perhaps Benesov meteorite had a double lithology, such as Almahata Sitta? The weathering grade W3 is not difficult to achieve in humid climates of Central Europe. Thank you for your response.

Because almost twenty years had passed, there can be no assurance that the recovered pieces are associated with the witnessed sightings. Additionally, Benesov (a) is an LL3.5 and Benesov (b) is an H5 and were found on the same day 250m apart, both with a weathering grade of W3. Characteristics are "Weathered fragments lacking fusion crust. The meteorites resemble the terrestrial stones and slag found in the field." To me, this implies that the recovered pieces have a terrestrial age greater than 20 years. gary On Feb 21, 2012, at 6:18 AM, Jan Woreczko - www.meteoritica.eu wrote: > Ha > Why are these findings are not classified as a falls? > > Bene?ov (a) http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=54854 > Bene?ov (b) http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=54855 > > http://translate.google.pl/translate?sl=pl&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=pl&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.meteoritica.pl%2Findex.php5%2FBene%25C5%25A1ov > > > Best wishes, > Woreczko > > ______________________________________________ > > Visit the Archives at > http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html > Meteorite-list mailing list > Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list Gary Fujihara Big Kahuna Meteorites (IMCA#1693) 105 Puhili Place, Hilo, Hawai'i 96720 http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/ http://shop.ebay.com/fujmon/m.html (808) 640-9161 Received on Tue 21 Feb 2012 06:32:10 PM PST |
