MILLBILLILLIE
Stone. Achondrite. Eucrite (EUC)
Wiluna District, Western Australia
Fell October, 1960
Approx. recovered weight 25.4 kg

Two men working on the Millbillillie-Jundee track in Western Australia observed a fireball at 1:00 in the afternoon. Shortly afterwards, they witnessed the fall of a meteorite. Unfortunately, they failed to search the area, and it was not until a decade later that the first specimen was recovered. Local Aboriginies have since found many well preserved, oriented specimens, with the shiny black fusion crust characteristic of these calcium-rich eucrites. Millbillillie has a recrystallized, heterogeneous composition, and it has been classified as a polymict breccia, which probably originated at the floor of an impact crater. It consists of nearly equal amounts of plagioclase and pigeonite, which were originally derived from peridotite, the same mineral that forms the bulk of Earth's upper mantle.

MUNDRABILLA
Iron. Medium,octahedrite,anomalous with sulfide & silicate inclusions (HICD)
Nullarbor Plain, Australia
Found 1911

In 1966, two iron masses weighing 6 and 16 tons were found by geologists 180 m apart on the Nullarbor Plain, just north of the Transcontinental Railway. They were described under the name Mundrabilla. It was soon realized that many previously found irons were paired with Mundrabilla, including two masses weighing about one ton each. Recent recoveries have included over 500 small, knuckle-shaped specimens, with a cumulative weight of over 24 tons. Mundrabilla has a unique polycrystalline structure, with veins of troilite accounting for up to 35 vol% of the meteorite. With the exception of its very low (-2x) iridium content, and very high (6x) troilite content, Mundrabilla is consistent with a IIICD classification, and consequently, has been designated as an anomalous member.

MURCHISON
Chondrite. Carbonaceous (CM2)
Victoria, Australia
Fell September 28, 1969
Approx. recovered weight: 100 kg

A fireball exploded over Victoria, Australia at 10:45 on a Sunday morning. This event was accompanied by loud detonations and hissing noises, and was followed by the fall of over 700 stones, permeating the town with the odor of alcohol. The total collected weight of this rare CM2 chondrite was 100 kg, with the largest mass weighing 7 kg. Murchison contains a sparse amount of tiny chondrules that are embedded in a black, carbonaceous matrix. During its early history, the Murchison parent body experienced low degrees of aqueous alteration in which water-bearing phyllosilicates replaced host minerals. Additionally, it contains complex organic compounds, including at least 79 amino acids, along with sugar compounds and fatty acids — the basic ingredients necessary for a rudimentary cell.
A beautiful museum quality oriented complete Individual Murchison stone with black fusion crust.  Also on the botton the specimen has a secondary fusion crust. It has a lip that has great melt features on the fusion crust.  558 grams.  The stone is gorgeous and a killer piece it doesn't get any better!   A real collertors piece.  (oriented) [pictured] A museum quality specimen!   Price   [call for price]

LUNAR METEORITE – NEW LOWER PRICES!

NORTHWEST AFRICA 032
Lunar Mare basalt
Found 1999
Morocco

A very fresh (W0), 300 g stone was found in October 1999 west of the Kem Kem plateau in Morocco. A second paired stone weighing 156 g was subsequently recovered. Northwest Africa 032 is a unique, unbrecciated, low-Ti mare basalt, similar to Apollo 12 and 15 basalts. It consists of phenocrysts of olivine, pyroxene, and chromite in a very fine-grained matrix of pyroxene and feldspar. An abundance of impact-melt veins, maskelynized feldspar, and mosaisized olivine pervade the rock, suggesting that shock pressures were greater than 25 GPa. Mare basalt accounts for only about 1% of the total volume of the lunar crust, and Northwest Africa 032 is one of the youngest mare basalts in our collections.

NORTHWEST AFRICA 735
Stone. Carbonaceous chondrite (CK4)
Found 1999, North West African Desert

Many individual stones, having a combined weight of 161 g, were purchased in Zagora, Morocco in January 1999. Coordinates of the find site were recorded as 30° 37' N, 4° 07' W. Northwest Africa 735 was classified at the University of Tokyo as a carbonaceous chondrite of type CK4, S3, W3. This group was named for the fall in Karoonda, Australia, also a CK4, but the CK group presently spans a metamorphic range of 3-6. This group is characterized by a low volume of chondrules within the matrix, a low content of FeNi-metal due to oxidizing conditions, and a pronounced silicate darkening due to the dispersion of submicron-sized magnetite and sulfide grains. This darkening occurred during partial melting events under conditions of low shock pressures and high temperatures.

MARTIAN METEORITE

NORTHWEST AFRICA 1110
Martian olivine-phyric (picritic) shergottite
Purchased in Moroccoa 2001
Total know weight, only 118 grams

Fragments weighing together 118 g were purchased in 2001 from a dealer in Erfoud, Morocco. Northwest Africa 1110 was classified at the University of Washington as an olivine-phyric, or picritic, shergottite. It contains an abundance of zoned olivine phenocrysts embedded within a low-Ca pyroxene groundmass. It is likely that NWA 1110 is paired with NWA 1068 and some other independently classified masses. Northwest Africa 1110 is derived from magma of basaltic shergottite composition, which has assimilated a cumulate olivine component close to lherzolitic composition. The establishment of a new shergottite subgroup has been proposed that comprises those similar shergottites with olivine-porphyritic textures, including NWA 476, Dhofar 019, and SaU 005.

NORTHWEST AFRICA 1182
Achondrite. Howardite (AHOW)
Found 2000, North West African Desert
Total know weight, only 780 grams

A 780 g stone was found in 1999 and subsequently purchased by this dealer in 2000. It was classified at Northern Arizona University as a howardite. The clasts in NWA 1182 comprise mostly yellow-green orthopyroxene crystals, (~82 vol%), with lesser amounts of basaltic (~12 vol%) and shock-melt material (~4 vol%). Because this breccia contains less than 90% of any single component, it is consistent with the definition of a howardite. This crusted howardite has experienced only minor weathering (W1), and has a shock stage of S2.

NORTHWEST AFRICA 1222
Stone. (EL5)   Very rare!
Found 2000, North West African Desert
Total know weight 2.8 kg

A single stone weighing 2,800 g was found in the Moroccan Desert and purchased in 1999. This meteorite was analyzed by the University of Tokyo, Japan, and determined to be a rare EL5 chondrite, one of only three found to date. Although this meteorite is weathered to grade W3, the effects are mostly confined to the crust layer. It has been shocked to stage S3, corresponding to a peak pressure of 10-20 GPa. Characteristic of E chondrites, FeNi-metal is disseminated throughout the rock. The EL5 chondrite group now comprises only three confirmed members — Tanezrouft 031 (28 g), TIL 91714 (163.9 g), and NWA 1222 (2,800 g).

 Stone, Achondrite, (Aubrite). This wonderful meteorite fell on February 18, 1948 at 4 PM in Kansas, USA. The spectacular daytime fireball was seen all over the Western USA. There were several masses including the main mass, a huge stone weighing 2,360 pounds which made it the largest stony meteorite on Earth until Jilin fell in 1976. This is a very rare meteorite which is almost entirely comprised of enstatite. It is very hard to get nice small specimens of this meteorite since almost 100% is in the University of New Mexico collection.

Chondrite. Ordinary (L6); S3
Omnogoy Aymag, Mongolia
Fell September 1933
Approx. recovered weight: One stone 6 kg

A witness to the 1933 fall of this meteorite gave the following description: "It burned fiercely for an instant, making a noise and trailing smoke, before it fell with a thunderous explosion on the east side of the Urt River." A large black meteorite was recovered from a crater and broken into pieces by the local residents. Fifteen years later, a few hundred of these pieces, totaling 220 g, were collected from the residents, but the present location of most of these is unknown. Noyan Bogdo is a typical L6 chondrite, with a recrystallized texture and only relict chondrules. It is shocked to stage S3. "Special hoilday price"

The pilot of a small aircraft, as well as his passengers, observed the meteorite as it fell. Meanwhile, in response to the sound of loud explosions, N. Wallace and F. Stafford ran to the porch in time to witness a 16.5 kg meteorite land 100 yards away. At the same time, the roof of a barn owned by G. Newberry was penetrated by a 530 g fragment. Over the next several weeks, about 51 fragments were recovered, ranging from 12 g to 34 kg, for a combined weight of over 100 kg. Portales Valley is an unusual, H-chondrite breccia, containing relict chondrules and large, cm-sized, metal-rich veins. The presence of a fine Widmanstatten structure is unique among chondrites.
