Hello list I would go to the south pacific. There are so many islands. The waters there are not very deep. Also you have some of the weirdest rocks ever seen on earth. The ocean out there is very clear, so looking for meteorites would not be a problem. Also with all the WWII items out there, you also might stumble on to some old war items.

Having suffered the vagaries of using credit cards over the Internet and PayPal, with which I have had bitter experience at the receiving end as registrar of a conference that offered Paypal as a way of paying registration fees, I now do all of my by-mail purchases by sending a bank draft in the vendor's currency by special delivery or registered mail or priority courier.

Re: [meteorite-list] Pay Pal update
Matt, PayPal is and will be the cheapest way to accept credit cards now and in the future. We have for our business researched nearly every other method of accepting credit cards and PayPal beats the others fees by at least 5%. That does not include the charges for epuipment the others charge that paypal eliminates also. Accepting personal checks may be your choice for accepting payments from customers, in our experience checks are an unnecessary hassle. How many times will you have to pay your bank for bad checks that you deposit and never recover the money for the check or for the item? We are charged $20.00 for checks that we deposit that bounce on our business accountafter the first 3 that we lost a total of $60.00 on we said no more checks. None of our fine customers that sent us the bad checks ever saw fit to make the checks good or cover our charges. And waiting for a check to clear while holding inventory is not practical for the amount of volume we movemaybe it is not a problem for you.

My talks on the phone with Pay Pal did not bring this up through them so I really dont know. But funds where taken from my account and put into someone else's. From there Pay Pal should have no problem figuring out where they went, although I think I reacted fast enough there is a hold on it. They are suppose to investigate and contact me so we will see. Either way, it was strange enough for Pay Pal to put a blanket on the account and they did reverse one charge, so there should be no doult that it is fraud of some type. Pay Pal probley makes about $500 a month from me so you would think they will try to make this go away for me. It is frustrating that with the account frozen I cannot touch the funds that are in there now, nor can I recieve payments. This will of course make me think about dropping Pay Pal.

Re: [meteorite-list] where would I go to look?
Hello Gregory and list, I have a question. When I look on land for a meteorite I see if the rock is heavy for its size, along with all the other things you are suppose to look for. Could you tell under water if a small rock is any heavier than another? This under water hunting would go a lot better, in my opinion, if you inlisted moses to part the sea for you!

I'm a Divemaster and have been fortunate enough to spend time in the South Pacific, as well as many other other scuba-locations offering extraordinarily clear water. Looking for meteorites underwater would be, if anything, much more problematic than looking for them on land, because: a) a freshly-fallen meteorite and a rock would appear just as similar underwater as topside, and b) then, as you descend below 30 feet or so, colors quickly dissipate, making most all objects blend in together even more, and c) any highly metallic object would disintegrate rapidly in a marine environment, and d) any meteorite which didn't disintegrate would soon morph into just another coral-encrusted mini-reef, like virtually any other underwater rock surface, and e) searching with a metal detector, like any kind of underwater motion, would be much more slow-going than on land, and f) at least on land, you don't have to interrupt your search every 55 minutes to switch tanks, and g) decompression-sickness considerations strictly limit the time one can spend at any given depth. I suspect there are reasons h, i, j, and k too, if we think about it I often looked at rock formations underwater, and wish-and-wonder.but realistically, I'd guess the chances are even more remote than stumbling onto something in one's backyard.

Could you tell under water if a small rock is any heavier than another? Reason (h). ;-) Weight, colors, distances...virtually everything is distorted to some degree or another underwater, a liquid environment throws our land-based senses off and makes most everything more difficult.

[meteorite-list] Can Monsieur look behind the antique grape press?
Contest #8 Before I flame out into that great strewnfield in the sky, I have two places I need to visit in a meteoritical sense: 1. Chassigny, France. Bruno and Carine (or perhaps young Master LaBenne) would hopefully join me as interpreters as we go chateau-to-chateau asking the residents about any strange rocks that might have become curious, if forgotten family heirlooms. It's been awhile since the fall, like 187 years, so none of this fragile stuff will be found on the ground. But perhaps in the back of la junque drawer... 2. Alexandria, Egypt. Not to look for Nakhla, but to look for a faded copy of a neighborhood arabic-language paper, probably printed on recycled papyrus, that tells of the fall of Egypt's first meteorite. Why? Simply because it would be interesting. No more, no less. Interesting. The library in Alexandria would be the last, best hope for such a paper.

I think the only credit due to Brad Sampson is that he does not rip people off all of the time. Brad has still yet to try to resolve the issue I had with him, although he had promised to several times, including once to the list. His reason, when he did reply, was always one, I have heard several list members use. "I lost your e-mail..." In Brad's communication with me was through the list, he also mentioned he spent four hours a day on eBay and the net looking at meteorites. I find it hard that anyone can search eBay for meteorites and not find me. But I'm not Brad. Brad will learn he can only switch e-mails and servers so many times before his past catches up with him.

[meteorite-list] The First Rock in the Solar System (Murchison Meteorite)
http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/Oct02/firstRock.html The First Rock in the Solar System Planetary Science Research Discoveries October 24, 2002 --- An aggregate of corundum, hibonite, and perovskite may be among the first rocks to form in the Solar System. Written by Steven B. Simon Department of Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago My colleagues Andrew Davis, Lawrence Grossman (both of University of Chicago), Kevin McKeegan (UCLA), and I have discovered an exceptionally refractory inclusion in the Murchison carbonaceous chondrite. It is an aggregate of corundum, hibonite, and perovskite, the three minerals expected to condense first in a hot, cooling gas of solar composition. This inclusion was one of the first rocks to form in the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. It was preserved by being sequestered rapidly from the gas and enclosed in a growing carbonaceous chondrite asteroid. Reference: Simon, S. B., A. M. Davis, L. Grossman, and K. D. McKeegan (2002) A hibonite-corundum inclusion from Murchison: A first-generation condensate from the solar nebula. Meteoritics and Planetary Science, v. 37, p. 533-548. -- Samples From the Developing Solar System A major area of interest in planetary science is the origin and early history of the solar system. We know a great deal about the solar system, but we continue to strive to learn more details, such as the early temperature and pressure conditions. We know that the solar system formed from a large cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula. The sun contains 99.9% of the mass of the solar system and we know the composition of the sun from spectroscopic analysis of the light it emits; therefore we basically know the composition of the solar nebula. We can use known physical properties and stabilities of minerals to calculate what minerals will form from a gas of this composition as it cools, and derive a theoretical, equilibrium condensation sequence of minerals that formed as the solar nebula cooled. Finding the predicted minerals and studying them would support the condensation model and improve our understanding of the early solar system. For detailed study of materials from the early solar system, we need to have samples. The Earth is too active a planet to provide the necessary samples, as its rocks are weathered, eroded, folded, and remelted. We therefore look to meteorites for a record of the early solar system. Specifically, we study carbonaceous chondrites, which have never been melted or changed much at all since the formation of the solar system. In these meteorites can be found many of the very same minerals predicted to form from a gas of solar composition. They occur in small (approx. 5-10 mm across) assemblages, known as refractory inclusions because of the relatively high formation temperature of the minerals in them. They can be thought of as small, individual rocks that formed in space and became enclosed in a later-formed matrix. They probably spent billions of years on a small asteroid, escaping the weathering, erosion, and plate tectonics that destroy rocks on Earth, before being ejected into space and eventually captured by Earth. -- Condensation According to calculations, pressures that would be reasonable for the solar nebula are between one-thousandth and one-millionth of the atmospheric pressure at the Earth's surface. At such pressures, minerals condense at temperatures that are below their melting points, so they condense as solids, much like solid H2O (frost) may condense from the air on a cold winter night. In a solar gas at 1/1000 atmosphere, corundum (Al2O3) is the first major mineral to form. It condenses at 1770 Kelvin (K), or 1497ºC (water boils at 373 K or 100ºC). The next mineral to form is hibonite, CaAl12O19, at 1743 K, followed by perovskite, CaTiO3, at 1688 K. [mineral aggregate] This animation shows the minerals corundum, hibonite, and perovskitecondensing from a hot, cooling gas and forming an aggregate rock. Temperature in Kelvin is shown in the upper left corner. We have found, in the Murchison carbonaceous chondrite, a refractory inclusion that consists of corundum, hibonite, and perovskite - it is perhaps one of the first rocks to form in the history of the solar system, even older than the Earth, the Moon, and all the planets. -- Freezing and Thawing Murchison is a CM chondrite, and probably the best way to find inclusions in that type of

[meteorite-list] Sonic boom from Michigan? Did anybody hear it?
October 24, 2002 Greetings Meteorite Enthusiasts! Long time no write! Just yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) when I was out picking apples in our orchard, my family and I heard what we think to be a possible sonic boom. It was heard at ~4:17 P.M. EDT which translates into ~20:17 UT. The sky at the time was unfortunately 98%+ overcast by clouds. I and my brother Matt thought it came from the north, but my father thought it could have come from the west, while others thought it originated from directions elsewhere too. It did not sound like any small type of gun shot or similar noise but something of a larger nature, such as a jet or FIREBALL. It was also heard at our house, roughly a mile and a half from where we were at the farm, from inside while a noisy washing machine was on. Sonic booms were a common occurrence around these parts from aircraft years ago. Has anyone else heard this suspicious noise or have seen it reported? Please tell! Long strewn fields!

There is over $2000 in meteorites being offered in trade. I'm looking to get either 50 or more grams of estherville or Portales valley. This is a great deal.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #8...Free Canyon Diablo
My criteria for a hunt would have to include: - good chance of finding something - sense of adventure - scenery - dark skies I'd have to vote for the Australian outback. A helicopter tour of craters (with a couple of hours and a metal detector at each) and then about a week just rambling around the desert.

[meteorite-list] SALE - The Sudbury garnets are back!
For those of you interested, I just got a new supply of garnets from the Sudbury region. These Garnets occur along a narrow faulted belt paralleling the outer eastern extremities of the original Sudbury Crater - one of the oldest largest impact structures on earth. Not only does the huge size, shape, and color of thesecrystals make them intriguing attractive and desirable mineral specimens - they quite likely has a meteorite impact genesis inasmuch as the impactor helped cause the fault. One large, two medium, or five small are $40. Add $4 US or $5.50 foreign. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/robandcolleen11197/lst?.dir=/Garnets.src=ph.vie w=t First in gets their choice. If you wish you may indicate your first choice and tell me you'll take any other one if it is already gone, thus securing one for yourself. I will away all day and will reply tomorrow evening.
