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.
    Millbillillie complete Individual      41 grams     A great looking specimen.      [97% fusion crus ]

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.
  Three fragments of Murchison the weight is 1.2 grams.     [top photo]  Price  SOLD
  A complete individual specimen of Murchison 70.5 grams.      [bottom photo]   This individual is a excellent quality with 98% fresh fusion crust.SOLD

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 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).

Numerous small stones (probably paired with NWA 002 and NWA 1067) evidently are fragments of a very large (100kg), broken enstatite-rich meteorite characterized by compression fractures filled with terrestrial limonite and an overall metamorphic texture. We interpret rare round aggregates of fanning prismatic enstatite grains (in 1 out of 4 thin sections) to be recrystallized former RP chondrules. Both pieces have a diamond lap finish.

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.
