[meteorite-list] AD - Amgala 1 kg on eBay and website updated

[philippe thomas]

Dear List Members,
 
I have put on eBay this amazing oriented piece of Amgala weighing one kilo.
This stone is actually the biggest one of this fall for sale. We are selling this amazing stone 
to finance our next prospection expedition in the Sahara. 

Here is the description:
AMGALA METEORITE (Provisional Name), Witness Fall from Western Sahara. 
October 16, 2003, 2.00 AM GMT
Place : Jbel near Oum Dreyga & Zbayra (~24°10'N, 13°15'W)
Ordinary Chondrite H? - Analyses are pending.
This new fall is actually analysed by the NAU & the MNHN of Paris. The definitive results will 
be known soon.

This complete stone is oriented. Flow lines terminate in a lip that curves around a part of 
the rear side of this meteorite. This stone is shield-shaped. The rear side is covered by 
remaglypts.The fusion crust covers 99% of this meteorite and is black satin-luster. One side 
has some impacts marks which show the color of the landing ground. There is an unusual 
and extraoridinary mark (worm shape), certainly due to a metal vein or to an hard material 
which has resisted to the ablation process. This mark is shown on one of the photos.
