AW: [meteorite-list] Hainaut-Bettrechies total kilo weight ?

[Jörn Koblitz]

Interesting to see that there is such a large mass in a private collection. I guess it is from Brussels Museum as the weight has changed in about the same order. I will correct the repository information in MetBase accordingly.
 
MetBase data:
8425g: Lille, Nat. Hist. Geol. Mus.
1264g: Brussels, Inst. Roy. Sci.
699g: Paris, Mus. d'Hist. Nat.
23.9g: Mainz, Max-Planck-Inst. Chemie
11g: Helsinki, Geol. Mus. Univ.
0.7g: New York, Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.

Best wishes,

Jörn

Hello List, 

Here is the last inventory of Hainaut meteorite -(H3-6, fall  26 november1934)

Lille, Musée d'histoire Naturelle: 8425 g

IRScNB-Brussel's: 801 g

Paris NHM 699g

Vincent Jacques collection: 411 g

Liège University: 20 g

Vienna NHM: 10 grams (approx)

Zelimir Gabelica collection: 8-10 g (approx)

A. Lucas collection:  4,5 g

Total = 10 370 g  + approx 1,5 Kg => hole in the main mass, probably fell in Gerpinnes (Belgium) 26/11/1934, observed fall, but not recovered (from a  11/1934 Police report)

Best regards, 

Vincent JACQUES
