[meteorite-list] Gujba Eric Twelker
Hi Everyone, On the subject of bencubbinites, and in particular Gujba, I thought people would be interested to know that Eric Twelker donated a VERY sizable piece of this meteorite to UCLA -- certainly worth many thousands of dollars at the PPG I've seen it selling for. Eric is not the type to toot his own horn about such generosity, but believe me Alan Rubin is very proud to have this sample in UCLA's collection. This past Fall on one of my visits to the lab to turn in material, he took it out to show it off to me: it was stunning, both in size and beauty. So, yes, I echo the sentiments of an earlier poster: with specimens like Gujba and Tagish Lake, Eric has made some very interesting material available to private collectors, but also makes happy campers out of the scientific institutions that do all our classification work. --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Jackpots From The Sky
http://www.macon.com/mld/macon/news/nation/4822933.htm Jackpots from the sky BY ANSLEE WILLETT The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colorado) December 27, 2002 Tom Stuart searched the ground one recent Saturday, hoping to find pieces of the sky. He thought he had a hit when his metal detector squealed. He dropped to his knees and dug. And dug. It's a piece of barbed wire, he said, holding it in his palm. Fooled ya. He was looking for an iron meteorite, yards from where two pieces of one were found in the early 1960s. Fourteen iron meteorites have been found in Colorado since 1863. Stuart and about 30 others with the Pikes Peak Adventure League, or PPAL, fanned out across open land about 10 miles west of Ellicott, Colo., last month. The group volunteered its time to help the Denver Museum of Nature Science's meteorite research team. It's a public service for the club to help the museum, said Stuart, of Pueblo West. The chances of finding an iron meteorite are about the same as winning the lottery. Nobody was that lucky. Instead, they dug for stuff such as a railroad spike, bullets and an Indian arrowhead. A Colorado Springs couple with the group hit the jackpot when they found an iron meteorite two years ago north of Cotopaxi in Fremont County. Richard and Sharon Walker didn't learn what it was until this summer. Their nearly 4-1/2-billion-year-old meteorite, the first iron one found since the Ellicott find in the 1960s, is at the Denver museum for now. It's currently being baby-sat. We have visitation rights, Sharon Walker said before laughing. Most meteors burn up in the atmosphere and never hit the ground. If they do hit, they're called meteorites, which help determine the age and composition of the solar system. About 6 percent of meteorites are made of iron. Common meteorites can sell for a few dollars a gram and rare ones can go for hundreds of dollars per gram. Sandy and Dorothy Kraemer, who own the land that was searched, were told by the museum a few years ago about the two pieces of meteorite, named the Ellicott meteorite, that were found more than 30 years ago. We're very pleased to encourage science and nature, Sandy Kraemer said, while watching people search. The Ellicott site is the only one in Colorado where two pieces of a meteorite have been found, said Jack Murphy, the Denver museum's curator of geology. Usually, you just find one, If two are found in one place, it's likely more pieces fell in the area if it broke. he said. Farmer Floyd Thompson found the pieces, weighing 15 and 20 pounds, about a year apart. They sat on his back porch for 10 years while he sent out samples, trying to find out what he'd found. They were determined in 1973 to be an iron meteorite. Murphy would like to find Thompson's family. I just think his relatives might like to know he has an important place in Colorado's meteorite history. --- Anyone with information on Thompson's family can e-mail the museum at [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more information on PPAL, call 473-0330. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
