Catalog number: NC-AL-7
Classification: CV3 Chondrite
Weight: 33.1 grams
Dimensions: 42 mm x 36 mm x 20 mm
Location: Pueblito de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico
Date of fall: February 8, 1969
Notes: The friable nature of carbonaceous chondrites means we rarely see oriented Allendes. This nicely oriented shield with 90% fusion crust, radiating flow lines and extremely well defined rollover lip is an exception. A superior example of one of the most important witnessed falls in history. More >>>

Catalog number: NC-GG-5
Classification: H5 Chondrite
Weight: 126.3 grams
Dimensions: 59 mm x 52 mm x 25 mm
Location: Burkina Faso
Date of fall: March 5, 1960
Notes: Fantastic ultra-oriented complete individual with shield shape, textbook flat trailing edge and about 95% fusion crust. Collectors of oriented space rocks will nearly swoon over this marvelous study in ablation. More >>>

Catalog number: NC-GG-7
Classification: H5 Chondrite
Weight: 264.8 grams
Dimensions: 79 mm x 63 mm x 45 mm
Location: Burkina Faso
Date of fall: March 5, 1960
Notes: This fabulous Gao-Guenie has a splendid surface that has been so vividly altered by melting during flight that it takes a moment to notice that it is also oriented. Flip it over and marvel at its remarkably large and complete rollover lip — by far the widest I have ever seen on a meteorite! More >>>

Catalog number: NC-99604-1
Classification: Unclassified chondrite
Weight: 66.0 grams
Dimensions: 108 mm x 59 mm x 5 mm
Location: Northwest Africa
Date of find: 1999
Notes: When we acquired this slice, it had "impact melt breccia" written on the packing material, but that's not an official classification. This full slice is loaded with chondrules and metal flakes suspended in an attractive grey, silver, and cream matrix. An historic (and unusual) Labenne find. More >>>

Catalog number: NC-XX-21
Classification: Unclassified
Weight: 1,645 grams
Dimensions: 127 mm x 96 mm x 96 mm
Location: Northwest Africa
Date of find: 2005
Notes: This hefty, thumbprinted, fusion-crusted beauty is an exemplary stone meteorite. Regmaglypts are visible on all of its six geometric faces and it also sits comfortably on each of those six faces. The only problem with this glorious chondrite is trying to decide how to display it. Every angle is appealing. More >>>

Catalog number: NC-XX-11
Classification: Unclassified chondrite
Weight: 1,769 grams
Dimensions: 202 mm x 111 mm x 75 mm
Location: Northwest Africa
Date of find: 2005
Notes: This massive NWA part stone shows moderate weathering and I was really taken by its shape, which appears to be the leading edge of a very large oriented stone. It is extremely heavy for its size, indicating a very high iron content. More >>>

Catalog number: NC-SA-22
Classification: IIAB Iron
Weight: 232.6 grams
Dimensions: 78 mm x 53 mm x 33 mm
Location: Siberia, Russia
Date of fall: February 12, 1947
Notes: A marvelous and extremely rare Sikhote-Alin "hybrid" that displays features of both individuals and shrapnel. This deeply-regmaglypted piece was clearly blasted off the exterior of a large inbound mass, during flight. A sensational snapshot of the processes that form meteorites. More >>>

Catalog number: NC-SA-33
Classification: IIAB iron
Weight: 237.4 grams
Dimensions: 68 mm x 42 mm x 30 mm
Location: Siberia, Russia
Date of fall: February 12, 1947
Notes: One of the most interesting meteorites in the entire collection, as it is part shrapnel and part individual. We can therefore posit that this is an extremely rare exterior portion of one of the large shrapnel-forming masses. We call these pieces "missing links," and in seventeen years, this is only the third example I have seen. Rare, amazing, intriguing, and most definitely the best of both worlds. More >>>

Catalog number: NC-WM-1
Classification: L6 chondrite
Weight: 227.0 grams
Dimensions: 175 mm x 111 mm x 6 mm
Location: Mora County, New Mexico, USA
Date of find: 1932
Notes: This large and very attractive polished slice clearly shows shock veins, brecciated clasts, and iron flecks. A beautiful example , expertly prepared, of this New Mexico find. Much of the original mass was cut up into small part slices, and this example if one of the few substantial pieces I have seen. More >>>
