A single stone weighing about 1.4 kg fell through a garage roof ~3 km north of the Canon City Post office and broke into four fragments. This fall occurred on the evening of 27 October 1973 in Fremont County, Colorado, and the majority of the material was soon locked away in meteorite repositories. Canon City is an H6 chondrite and seldom seen in the meteorite marketplace - and then only in small cuttings and fragments. Each of the micro specimen offered here are affordable.

This meteorite fell near the village of Carancas in the Puno district, Desaguadero, Peru on 15 September 2007. A bright fireball entered the atmosphere over Lake Titicaca and the meteorite impacted roughly 2 miles from the Bolivian border. The impact was sufficient to register seismic shockwaves, knock down a person, and break windows in both Desaguadero and Carancas. This meteorite is under study to determine the classification and the name is currently provisional. This is the first witnessed fall recorded in Peru. These fragments came from the Bob Haag expedition, who were the first Americans on the scene, and who obtained the most pristine material. Many of these specimens have crust or slickenslides on them.

The Meteoritical Bulletin tells us that many people observed a fireball over France on 21 February 1978 and the next morning about 4 kg of fragments were collected from a lawn in I'Ardoise, about 2 km southwest of Chitenay, Blois, Loir-et-Cher, France. Chitenay is classified as an L6 chondrite and, as far as I know, this is the first time this meteorite has been offered for sale. The beautiful partial slice offered here is not parallel cut, weighs 1.940 grams, and is priced at SOLD. Another near impossible location for the serious meteorite collector.

This meteorite has a great story. A single 1455 gram crusted stone slammed into a rural metal mailbox about 10 km SE of Claxton, Evans County, Georgia, on 10 December 1984. Claxton is classified as an L6 chondrite. The mailbox sold at auction in October 2007 for more than $82,000.00. And, a 5 gram slice of Claxton sold for more than $1400.00 per gram at the same auction.

After detonations, several stones apparently fell but only a single stone was recovered. Danville is an L6 chondrite, brecciated, veined, and fell on 27 November 1868, in Morgan County, Alabama. Very little of this meteorite remains, most locked away in repositories. The only time I know that Danville was available and sold was at the Alan Lang auction, February 2007, and I was outbid. These are clean fragments and will enhance someone's collection.
