[meteorite-list] sulphurous smell of meteorites (wasTemperature of meteorites)

[Shawn Alan]

Hello Listers,
 
While we are on the topic of smells, I noticed that the Abee meteorite has a sulphourous smell and it not slight it apparent when the meteorite is close to your noise. I wonder if anyone else has noticed that with the Abee. I do have to say I like the smell of Murchison, I also wonder if Murray has the same smell cause they are pretty much the same I think.

A friend of mine is having problems posting to the list, so I am 
trying to do that for him...

Dear List: 

When Murray Paulson and I came across the fellow who found the 7 kg 
Buzzard Coulee there was a distinct smell, to me at least. There was a 
hint of something sulphurous but more kind of a organic swampy smell. 
Then for some reason a scent of new-mown hay popped into my mind. 

We came about 10 minutes after the meteorite had been pulled out the 
shallow hole it had created. 
Murray took a picture and I took down the GPS coordinates. 

For a great picture of the event see Bruce McCurdy's Buzzard web site: 
skyriver.ca/astro/bruce/meteorite.htm 

This was 12 days after the meteor fell in frozen winter conditions.
