Unfortunately, often this is not quarantine, but false coordinates, forever. Our region was completely excavated by hunters for meteorites, before us, and not a single meteorite found before us - it was not registered .... |

Congratulations Timur, welcome to the Atacama Club, the Atacama meteorite coordinates are being quarantined by the scientist for a while, to actually protect the science, and allow them to fully study the undisturbed areas. |

H5 - the most common type of H meteorites. In Iran - 90% of meteorites - this type, but there is really this one rain in the desert Lut. Atacama's problem is that many local meteorite hunters are deliberately giving false coordinates ... This is certainly a crime before science ... |

....and all those El Medanos et los Vientos? isn't strange that some 300 meteorites have been found in the Atacama and they are all H5!!!??? |

Is it paired with Calate 009 and Calate 011? And what about all those many Catalina from 002 to 253, are they all paired too? |

Bernd: click the MetBul link to the right of the meteorite name and all will be revealed. |

Wow sweet meteorite!!! |

Yes, of course, it is classified! See the Meteorite database. |

Beautiful contraction cracks in photo #3! How do you know it is an H5? Has it been officially classified? Thanks for sharing with us! |

Looks oriented too...

No, it's only from the surface! Inside, the metallic iron is not oxidized! |
Zsolt Kereszty 1/21/2018 2:33:18 AM |
There is fully oxidized. |
