Meteorites

This is a superb looking Spade meteorite part slice weighing 2.7 grams and measuring 19x15x3 mm. This H6 chondrite classified meteorite was found in 2000 and has a total weight of 8.86 Kg.

This single mass of 8.86 kg was found in a grass field by Mr. J. Talbert while farming. The classification and mineralogy performed by R. Jones, UNM and A. Rubin, UCLA, determined it to be an annealed impact melt rock. It has a shock stage of S2 and a moderate weathering grade of W2.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Hupé Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a superb whole specimen of the famous Northwest Africa 2965 meteorite weighing 20.6 grams. This is a beautiful specimen from the Thomas Phillips Meteorite Collection.

Its dimensions are 34x20x20 mm. This North West Africa was classified originally as an Enstatite EL6/7, then later as an EL3 and finally an EL-Melt Rock meteorite which was found along with the rest of the total mass of more than 100 Kilograms in the Algerian Desert in August 2005.  This is one of the oldest meteorites on our planet in terms of terrestrial age and has been referred to as a fossil meteorite. 

This Enstatite chondrite shock Level is minimal and weathering varies from 2 to 5. This piece displays extremely well and if cut would show a completely recrystallized enstatite chondrite with polygonal to irregular grain outlines. The grain size varies from 0.02 to 0.7 mm. Round, curved, blocky objects contain coarser-grained orthopyroxene than in the matrix. No relict chondrules were observed.

This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its prehistoric look.  This rare and quality specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with specimen card.

This is a superb looking slice of the Shişr or Shi 010 meteorite, weighing 7.5 grams. Its dimensions are  32x22x6 mm. This L5 classified meteorite was part of the 16 stones found in the Shişr Desert of Oman by Russian meteorite hunters in 2001 with a total mass of 17.6 Kg. The shock stage of 3 and weathering grade of 3 is recorded for these pieces.  This meteorite is likely paired with Shişr 008, an L5 that weighed 244 grams.

This piece shows a nice polished face and is a desirable size perfect to show in class or at a science show.  This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem specimen card.

Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 17.15 grams. Its dimensions are 31x19x20 mm.  Found 10 March 2000 in Dhofar, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula this H4/5 classified chondrite has a TKW of 256 Kg with a shock stage of S4 and weathering grade of W3 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR.

Dhofar 020 is an ordinary stone chondrite meteorite. The meteorite is high in free metal and therefore falls in the H class. S4 tells it is highly shocked. Slices of the meteorite, show veins of the cosmic impact created mineral Ringwoodite, although fractures in the stone tend to hide this some. It almost appears to me to have splinted upon impact. The meteorite falls in 4-5 petrology class, a reference to how metamorphed the meteorite is from its original state. This is judged by studying a thin section of the meteorite, most visually at the chondrules, a feature unique to stone meteorite. In a thin section under polarized light, pyroxene chondrules seem more common then their olivine pair. Still some regions in the meteorite show scattered patches of bright olivine inclusions. These are fairly rare, at least on my thin section, and most of the meteorite's olivine and pyroxene, some of the easier things to see in a thin section, appear to have went through a metamorphism, and have "melted" into the matrix and are at times undistinguishable.

This piece displays extremely well, it has a beautiful crust and is a good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Farmer Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is an nice 0.98 gram slice of Sahara 02500 L3 classified meteorite. The dimensions of the specimen are 14x12x3 mm.

These meteorites are very beautiful with a highly contrasting and surprisingly colorful texture, often brecciated with numerous clasts. There is not a lot of fusion crust, however, they are only slightly weathered, as they have been found on the desert surface. The meteorites final publication and official naming by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society was expected to be a L3.8 but officially became an L3 with a Shock stage of S2 and a Weathering grade of W1. The name used in the field of Wadi Mellene is the origin of it's find according to the locals.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Jensen Meteorites tag and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
