I have seen the future; on its present elliptical course, this confused oddity shall again grace us in 6 years, 8 months. |

Yes, it looks like Aiquile. I bought a small individual at this year's Tucson Show. Dead ringer. |

Hello! sorry Paul for answering late, but you know my "work" schedule. During the Tucson Show I had half a dozen Aiquile pieces in my room, not mine but left in consignment by Eduardo Jawerbaum. I sold one, kept one, and gave him back the others. The one I kept is not this one (and I'll send you the pic) so this could be one of the Aiquile that Eduardo took back. Does that help?
And everybody! send pictures to Paul so he won't get in trouble ever again!!!! |

Would you believe it if I said April Fools 10 days late?? I didn't think so. I took a bunch of pictures of several Aiquile specimens. I put one on the MPOD for 2/7/17 because they were the best pictures. This is a different specimen and I should have moved the pictures to my "done" folder, but didn't. In my utter desperation for an MPOD for today (because I don't get enough lovin') I came across these pictures and thought "aha! I can dodge a bullet for one more day." It was 10pm (well after my bed time), I'd had a few beers, and it looked sufficiently Allende-like, so it went on the calendar and I went to bed. I dub this an Aiquillende! |

Not Allende. Aiquile looks about right. |

John, "Aiquile" is just a provisional name so far, but funny that new fall was my first thought too! This one does look like one that got revovered a few weeks after the fall ... |

Paul, Coincidence that the Roving Reporter had Anne's 34.5 g Allende slice of the same weight as quoted above on MPOD 22Jan :-) |

Crikey! Maybe it's not Allende. I'm working from notes I scribbled during the Tucson show and maybe I got things crossed up. Anne? Help! |

Same conclusion here: Allende looks different! |

Looks not like Allende. Maybe a former inclusion or a find from another fall in the same strewn field. But not a common cv3. Crust and interior are wrong. |

Appears in pic #1 to be some nice light late-formed fusion crust on the fragmented face in the foreground, and uncommonly free of soil. My favorite chondrite, thanks Anne and Paul! |

That's certainly a CV3, zoom in on the chipped area -front,center,right- you can see the uniform light color chondrules against the dark matrix. Beautiful meteorite!!! |

Strange looking Allende?...almost looks like there are rust flecks in the matrix...!are you sure? |
