The requirements in this part only apply to the collection of meteorites in Antarctica after April 30 , How long have they been in business? SkyFall Meteorites has been a part-time business since Nov. Is it a business or a hobby? Do they have the photography skills to properly market your specimens?
SkyFall Meteorites uses professional photography equipment, a custom made light box and professional processing software to achieve excellent results. Some of our images have appeared in magazines and have been used by scientific community. Do they have an up-to-date and modern website for you to review and judge their expertise? Do they understand the meteorite and tektite markets, what is hot and what is not, and how to establish an average retail price? As a professional appraiser and someone who stays up to date on market pricing and fluctuations, I can quickly establish average retail prices based on conditions, provenance, rarity, desirability and various other factors.
Note, I will not provide an appraisal of your specimens as part of this process. Do they provide a clear engagement agreement that outlines the services they will offer, commission and payment terms, your pricing requirements, etc.? SkyFall Meteorites provides a formal engagement agreement that outlines expectations of both parties and ensures clarity.

If you have multiple specimens of the same meteorite or tektite, then use one line for each. Pictures are not required at this stage.

As meteorite buyers, we focus on the acquisition of the following meteorites: Oriented or beautifully sculpted meteorites of all types. We cannot guarantee that every book is in the library! Compatible with any devices. In 26 chapters, more than 90 authors from Europe, the United States, Russia, Canada, and South Africa give a balanced, firsthand account of the multidisciplinary field of cratering science, with reports on field studies, geophysical analyses, and experimental and numerical simulations.
Nine chapters focus on structure, geophysics, and cratering motions of terrestrial craters. Recent advances in impact ejecta studies and shock metamorphism are assembled, each with seven chapters, and three chapters extend the scope from a terrestrial to a planetary perspective. Although about 70 percent of known terrestrial meteorite impacts involve sedimentary rocks, the response of such rock to hyper- velocity impact is not well understand.
Evans Missouri State U. Published by the Cambridge University Press, London, In Meteorite Hunter, Roy Gallant takes readers on a fascinating journey to the major meteorite sites of the wild and desolate Russian interior. On the morning of June 30, , a comet nucleus or stony asteroid weighing , metric tons exploded four miles above the remote Siberian region of Tunguska with a force hundreds of times greater than the blast that destroyed Hiroshima.
Eighty-four years later, American astronomer Roy Gallant was invited by the Russian Academy of Sciences to participate in its annual Tunguska Expedition. Gallant was the first American to take part in the Russian investigation of the largest meteorite impact in recorded history. So inspired was he by his experiences at Tunguska that he went on to devote the next eight years of his life to investigating and writing about meteorite impact sites around the globe.
From the enigmatic Tunguska, Roy Gallant, a. Braving the inhospitable tundra and dense taiga forests, the author investigates several major sites including: the Sikhote-Alin field, site of the "meteorite shower of the century", and the fall site of the famous Pallas Iron, the grand daddy of meteorites.
The enormous Popigai Crater was explored -- more than million-years old and estimated to have been formed as a result of a fall with a greater impact force than Tunguska by a factor of a million. Along the way, Gallant introduces us to the country itself, its people, and its strange and lovely flora and fauna.
