Meteorites For Science

Build on 2010-10-07 16:00:01

Labenne Meteorites is a private organization specialized in finding and supplying

meteorites to institutions and private collectors.

Every year since the 1970s, governments from USA (ANSMET, Antarctic Search for

Meteorite Program), Japan (NIPR, National Institute of Polar Research) and Europe

(EUROMET) have sponsored expeditions to retrieve meteorites in Antarctica.

However, it has only been since the 1990s that warm deserts like the Sahara have

revealed their remarkable discovery potential. Our numerous finds are certainly

witness to this fact. Through systematic and dedicated searching, we have found

thousands of meteorites - many of which have attracted serious scientific interest.

In addition to the Lunar samples from Apollo missions and future samples from Mars

(Mars Sample Return), Lunar and Martian meteorites arrive on Earth from

unexplored, uncharted regions of the Moon and Mars, and inspire extensive research.

Interest in such exceptional meteorites is on the rise in both the scientific community

and the general public, as fascination for all things related to Space, particularly Mars

and the Moon, goes sky-high.

Our team was filmed during meteorite hunting, see a short sequence of the 52

minutes movie "Meteorite Hunters" filmed by Laurent Legall

Meteorites" or directly to http://www.freerunpictures.com/video/meteorite.htm)

Our Scientific Roots

Over the last eleven years, we've organized expeditions to find and collect new

meteorites in the warm deserts of the world, primarily the Sahara and Sultanat

d'Oman. Our expeditions have led us to discover several thousand new meteorites,

known by the names Sahara, Dhofar and ITQIY.

They have been the object of extensive scientific research in the world's largest

universities, research institutes and museums in Europe, the United States and

Japan. Our finds are curated and exhibited in the most prestigious collections in the

world; the Natural History Museum in London, the Museum National d'Histoire

Naturelle in Paris, Das Naturhistorische Museum Wien in Vienna, Museum F?r

Naturkunde in Berlin, American Museum of National History in New York, Chicago

We are members of the Meteoritical Society, the official organization governing the

classification and reference of new meteorites affiliated with the Department of

Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Arkansas, in the United States. The

Meteoritical Society is also responsible for the scientific journal Meteoritics and

Planetary Science, entirely devoted to meteorite research and the Meteoritical

Bulletin. All our meteorites are recognized and classified by this organization and

furthermore, we own and have legal rights to every meteorite listed on our site.

As members of the Meteoritical Society, we guarantee the authenticity of each

meteorite we sell.

Gibeon MeteoriteComplete individualWeight: 1115g

The Gibeon meteorites were discovered in a vastAfrican desert close to Gibeon, Namibia in the early1800's. the total fall was approximately 150 tons ofmetal composed of 92% iron, 7.5% nickel, and theremaining 0.5% in trace minerals. Upon impact, themeteorite broke into countless smaller pieces whichwere scattered over 200 square miles.

Gibeon is a metallic meteorite (treatment with acidcauses patterns of Widmanst?tten to appear on thesurface). The crystalline pattern, is naturally occurringin outer space upon the cooling of iron and nickel in anenvironment with little to no gravity. These conditionscannot be recreated on earth due to the slow coolingrate, an estimated 1 degree Celsius in a million years.

This oriented Campo Del Cielo meteorite is ashield-shaped individual with regmaglypts radiatingfrom the apex. With stable orientation during it'satmospheric flight, the ablation has formed a shieldshape and this is why the regmaglyptes are elongatedfrom the apex to the edge and in fact flare away fromwhat was the lead edge of entry. The back at theopposite of the apex is almost flat. This meteorite wassoftly brushed about 8 years ago and never cleanedsince so it can be cleaned easily for better looking. Thefusion crust is well visible in the bottom of theregmaglyptes, it was found in Santiago Del Esterowhere the campo are less weathered.

The Isheyevo meteorite is a metal-rich carbonaceouschondrite (Bencubbin-like meteorite). History: Onestone, weighing 16 kg, was found in Bashkortostan,Russia in October 2003, by a tractor driver in a fieldduring harvest carrying in the Ishimbai region ofBashkortostan, close to the Isheyevo village.The bencubbinite or CB chondrites are metal-richcarbonaceous chondrites. The CB are divided into twosubgroups, the CBa and CBb subgroup. CBachondrites are coarse-grained (up to 1cm) and contain40-60 vol% of FeNi metal. CBb chondrites arefine-grained and richer in FeNi metal (>70 vol %).CBb's also have CAIs, zoned metal grains and matrixlumps Isheyevo is close to CHs and supports the geneticunity of the CR-CH-CB clan. In comparison with CHs,all CB's lack POP chondrules.

Allende fell on 8 Feb 1969 near the town of Pueblito deAllende in Chihuahua, Mexico. Carbonaceouschondrites are among the most primitive of meteorites.The most distinctive characteristic of the CV meteoritesis the presence of large irregular white inclusions. Theyare called CAIs (Calcium-Aluminum Inclusions). CAIshave been intensely studied. Unusual isotopic ratios inthe elements of these inclusions suggest that some ofthe material forming the CAIs came from preexistinginterstellar grains that mixed with the forming solarnebula. CAIs are certainly among the oldest material inthe solar system.

These differentiated meteorites are from parent bodiesthat were once molten and had solidified as a metalcore and silicate mantle.
