[meteorite-list] Thank you List and MetSocCom

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Count and List,

Congrats again to the Count and All involved for the discovery, 
classification and acceptance of Stump Spring 083. Congrats to All who have 
found meteorites at Stump Spring, Sonny has the numbers there! The Count 
mentioned one of my finds in that area, here are the Provisional entries for 
the two individuals I found in October. These are different from each other 
and were ~1.25 miles apart, one being ~1/2 mile from Guido's.

Stump Spring 084:

If this is a repost..I'n sorry.

I want to thank everyone on and off List for the many congratulations.

A correction to the Bulletin. The Stump Springs main mass is held by myself 
and the Smithsonian. Sonny Clary donated the half that he acquired from me 
to the Institution last year. The number 83 is because 82 numbers were 
reserved by Sonny. How you do do this isn't quite clear to me. There are no 
other "Stump Springs" meteorites in the Bulletin. And, I'm informed this LL6 
is unique to any meteorites Sonny has found in this location, and he has 
found quite a few, as did Jim Krieg and other hunters. Sonny told me those 
he located in his strewn field were "H's".

Greg Hupe found a different classification chondrite less than half a mile 
from my find a few months ago while accompanied by myself and Adam.. So, 
there are probably at least three different classifications that have fallen 
in this strewn field and close proximity.


Stump Springs 83 is the largest intact chondrite found so far in Nevada. If 
you would like to see a photo of how I prepped and mounted it, the link is 
below. It's mounted upright as I first saw it. I used hot distilled water 
and a stainless brush followed by a soak in 98% alcohol and a bake in the 
oven. The way it's depicted hides the fact it was cut in half. It still 
shows some fusion crust even though it's terrestrial age is probably tens of 
thousands of years.

Best personal regards to all and I am very happy that my first find got 
recognized. Thanks to Ted Bunch and all at the Met Soc Committee too.
