HELLO ALL OLD AND NEW GUESTS!!!
We are a team of meteorite and fossil hunters.We search worldwide for new and known meteorites.Since 1995, we have mounted expeditions to Tsarev, Brahin, Kunya Urgench, Dronino, Markovka, Seymchan, Sikhote-Alin and many others in Russia and nearby. We have also collected many meteorites from North Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the United States.We have gathered samples of almost all types of known meteorites, including a large collection of lunar meteorites.We are on the world market since 2000, and on since 2004. The new Cometshop on is formed from our old cometshop21 that had more then 500 positive responses, more than 2000 good deals with 99.9% positive (before 2006).
We ship worldwide from our locations in USA and Germany. (please see careful the location of the item you offer). We easy combine shipping (from one location of course).
We accept different ways of payments, but PayPal is very preferred.
As always we hope the best is in future. We\'ll make a very good business with all you our friends and partners. Please do not hesitate ask us any questions.
Happy offerding!

The newest recent fall in Turkey!
Sariçiçek
(was named as Bingol meteorite as provisional name)
Village Saricicek, Bingol, Turkey.38°54.10’N, 40°36.01’E
Fell: 2015 September 2Classification: Achondrite, Howardite
History:(O. Ünsalan, UIst; P. Jenniskens, SETI): A bright bolide was seen and heard in Bingol province, Turkey, and recorded on several video security cameras on 2015 Sept 2 at 20:10:30 UT. Shortly after the fireball, small meteorites were heard raining down on houses in the village of Saricicek. The next morning, people found pea-sized meteorites on the street and in yards. Tuğçe Özduman of the police in Bingöl supplied the first video data from traffic cameras in Bitlis, a neighboring city. Dedicated searches were done by Iskender Demirkol, Ibrahim Yasin Erdoğan, Aydın Sükrü Bengü and Vedat Avci of Bingol University. The 27 g meteorite analyzed here was found by Mehmet Nezir Ergün of Sariçiçek the morning of September 4.
Physical characteristics:(O. Ünsalan, UIst; P. Jenniskens, SETI): The meteorite is fully crusted and has a shiny, light-brown crust. The shape is irregular and rounded, indicative of high altitude fragmentation and ongoing breakup until just before deceleration.
Petrography:(M. Zolensky, JSC): Petrographically heterogeneous rock consisting of lithic and mineral clasts in a fine-grained matrix of crushed material. The matrix consists of high-Ca pyroxene (probably clinopyroxene) from the eucritic component, low-Ca pyroxene (probably orthopyroxene) from the diogenitic component, plagioclase, silica, kamacite, troilite, chromite, ilmenite and rare olivine. Clino- and orthopyroxene are present in approximately equal amounts. Single mineral grains and clasts of orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, and rare olivine, all to a maximum size of 1 mm. Crystals of clinopyroxene frequently contain exsolution lamellae of orthopyroxene, in which both phases can contain oriented chromite inclusions. Three types of rock clasts are distinguished: (1) Clasts consisting plagioclase and silica, the former containing inclusions of chromite and ilmenite, and the latter containing blebs of troilite; (2) clasts consisting of an intergrowth of plagioclase and silica, with both phases hosting large blebs of troilite; (3) ophitic to subophitic basalt clasts consisting of an intergrowth of plagioclase laths and zoned clinopyroxene, in some cases with troilite blebs situated along the boundaries of the plagioclase crystal laths. Eucritic material appears to be more abundant than the diogenitic component. Single mineral grains and clasts show different degrees of shock deformation, including irregular fractures and folded pyroxene lamellae, and a significant fraction of the finest grained matrix appears to be poorly crystalline. Near the fusion crust melted troilite has been injected into cracks in silicates.
Geochemistry:(M. Zolensky, JSC): The matrix consists of high-Ca pyroxene (probably clinopyroxene) Fs50±18Wo26±20, FeO/MnO= 21.0-45.9, N=29, from the eucritic component, low-Ca pyroxene (probably orthopyroxene) with Fs28±6Wo2±1, FeO/MnO = 31.1-36.7, n=23 from the diogenitic component and Fs53±19Wo3±3; plagioclase, An83.5-89.6Or0.2-4.0; olivine, Fa18-21, FeO/MnO= 30.1-43.1, average Fa80, PMD=1.6%, N=4. Single mineral grains and clasts: orthopyroxene, Fs22-70Wo1-2; clinopyroxene, Fs28-60Wo6-36, some compositionally zoned; plagioclase, An85.5-89.6Or0.2-0.6; olivine, Fa21. Basaltic clasts: plagioclase, An85Or1; clinopyroxene, Fs33-55Wo6-12.
Classification(M. Zolensky, JSC): Howardite
Our team was on the place and found few stones. Mainly we bought from locals that searched the area.
Some of the stones are complete individuals full crusted, but mainly they are more or less broken, showing different achondritic interior. Very fresh, glassy fusion crust.
There are many different types of stones that fell near Bingol. Some are classic individuals complete and broken ones with black glassy fusion crust. Some are very nice oriented individuals.
This is an excellent beginning or adding a collection.
SHIPPING:
1. Worldwidewill be $9.
GOOD LUCK.
