[wahlperry at aol.com]

Hi List,

I have just added a few new pictures of my Moapa Valley CM1 main mass 
and the remaining slice on my website. For those of you interested 
click on the link below. Moapa Valley is an exceedingly rare 
Carbonaceous Chondrite making it a world class specimen. It is the only 
CM1 found in the United States and second CM1 recovered outside the 
Antarctic. Moapa Valley is the only CM1 Carbonaceous Chondrite material 
available to the public.

Trades will be considered for the main mass and remaining slice with 
Museum’s and Universities.

Only 15 meteorites of this classification have been recovered world 
wide.

NWA 4765  was found outside Antarctica by a Nomad in North West Africa, 
with a TKW
of 19 grams.

13 of the CM1s were recovered by AMSMET ( Antarctic search for 
meteorites ) many of them paired. These meteorites were recovered from 
the following locations: Allan Hills, 1 stone 18 grams; Elephant 
Moraine, 1 stone 2.5 grams; La Paz Ice fields 5 stones 7.8, 1.99 ,1.8 , 
0.8 ,1.7  total 14.9 grams; Mac Alpine Hills, 1 stone . 36 grams; 
Meteorite Hills, 3 stones  40.6, 15.7, 11.5 , total 67.2 grams; Miller 
Range, 1 stone 2.4 grams; Scott Glacier, 1 stone 27.6 gram . Total 
weight of 132.75 grams. None of the AMSMET meteorites will be  
available to the public.

Anyone going to the Tucson show who is interested in seeing the main 
mass up close can contact me off list.

Thanks,

Sonny
