Do you remember this Big One?
If you want to see it you have to go to the Visitors Center of NASA in Houston Texas. Enjoy

Another batch of Wabar Impact Glass (well..... almost a meteorite 🙂 ) and as usual full of surprises. This one almost broke in 2 but thought better of it and left a tiny bridge between the 2 halves.

The new issue of Meteorite-Times just came out. Very interesting as usual, but I particularly recommend the article about an expedition to the site of WABAR in Saudi Arabia, not an easy place to get to. Enjoy!!

ALMAHATA SITTA!!! Finally I have some again, and there will be more. Take a look, and notice the classifications.

I am still down-sizing and going through boxes of mostly forgotten specimens, so I added a new page to my site: “MISCELLANEOUS”, and there will be surprises there as I re-discover things! Here is one:

Hello, in case you have not noticed The Calendar of Falls on my website has been completely updated, Every fall listed on the MetBulletin up to a couple days ago, is now there. Now you can see if one fell on your birthday. Just go to: IMPACTIKA.com
And while I was at it I also added a bunch of meteorites, some you rarely see. Like this one: BELLE PLAINE, a chondrite L6, found in 1950 in Kansas. A full slice I acquired in a trade directly from Dr. A. Ehlmann, curator of the Monnig Collection at TCU. Enjoy!

Guess who is back? MURCHISON
A whole bunch of small slices and one big fragment with a large patch of crust. Thank you Marlin you did a great job with minimal loss of material.
Not on my site yet, just give me a couple days. But do let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

For those of you who haven't noticed, here is one you rarely see: KNYAHINYA. Fell on June 9, 1866 in Western Ukraine, Classified as a chondrite L/LL5. The main mass, 500 kg!, is in the Museum of Vienna in Austria. But this almost fully crusted fragment of 206g is on my desk for a short while. And you can see it on Meteorite Picture of the Day. Enjoy!
