AW: [meteorite-list] Pultusk total mass
Dear Listees, I think Alexander made the point clear. The repository information in MetBase is based on catalogs and inventory lists of about 700 private and public meteorite collections in the MetBase Library of Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences. I try to keep the information as up-to-date as possible. However, it can never represent the state of all collections at a certain time as publication dates of these catalogs and inventory lists vary. I invite everybody to send me her/his meteorite collection list and I will be happy to add the data to MetBase. Best wishes, Jörn Koblitz MetBase editor -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Alexander Seidel Gesendet: Montag, 20.

Certain fixed collection data at a certain time, no more no less, which does not make it less valuable in the end for getting sort of an overview. You can´t have more details of the spreading among collectors for a widely available specimen, like Pultusk is, at any given time, you can only make educated guesses, and re Pultusk these will very (!) definitely increase the 250 kg figure stated in MetBase right now. Some time ago Zelimir (Prof Gabelica), our well-known and very dear collector friend from France, who is the organizer of the annual meteorite show in Ensisheim (the very best one in Europe btw, besides Munich!!) asked the collector community for feedback about the private distribution of the Ensisheim meteorite. I wonder if he ever reached any conclusive and reliable result with this... :-) Zelimir? Alex Berlin/Germany in my collection I have a 370 gr. frag. with crust and a 8 gr. slice. For example in the list its not present the Milan museum have some samples from 200 grams to 50 grams Matteo --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: Matteo wrote (a scritto): we have to calculate the many pieces in the private collections. Right! I own 11 grams of Pultusk. It's a polished end section with fresh, velvet black fusion crust and extremely abundant FeNi flakes that I purchased from David New in 1993 (January 1993 sales list). Here is David's unmistakable comment from his sales list: Choice highly polished light to dark gray end sections with rich metallic inclusions and excellent fresh black fusion crust.

[meteorite-list] Comet Dust Sparks Scientific Intrigue
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11460590/ Comet dust sparks scientific intrigue Samples hint at ancient origins, with tentative signs of organic compounds By Alan Boyle MSNBC February 20, 2006 ST. LOUIS - Giving a sneak peek of results to come, a top mission scientist said flecks of material collected during the Stardust spacecraft's seven-year journey bear the unmistakable signature of an ancient comet, including sulfides, crystalline silicates and probably organic compounds as well. We're seeing a variety of things that we know absolutely come from a comet, University of Washington astronomer Donald Brownlee, Stardust's principal investigator, told reporters here Monday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Brownlee heads an international team of about 150 scientists who are getting their first looks at the specks captured by NASA's Stardust spacecraft as it flew close to Comet Wild 2 back in 2004. At the end of a 2.9-billion-mile (4.6-billion-kilometer) round trip, the spacecraft successfully delivered a capsule containing the samples back to Earth on Jan. 15. The flecks of dust and grit are contained within 132 ice-cube-sized tiles of aerogel, an ultra-light, porous material that has been compared to solid smoke. As the bits entered the tiles, they carved carrot-shaped or turnip-shaped tracks in the transparent aerogel. Brownlee said six of aerogel blocks have been pulled out for inspection so far. All of the tiles are in good shape â which is amazing, he said. Meeting expectations What's even more amazing is how well the first round of analysis is matching expectations. Brownlee and other Stardust scientists are holding back their first formal reports for a scientific meeting in Texas next month - but during Monday's news conference, Brownlee said the samples studied so far contain iron sulfides and glassy material such as crystalline silicates. Those ingredients are found in meteorites as well. Later, Brownlee told MSNBC.com that there were preliminary indications of organic compounds, based on telltale infrared readings. He cautioned that the initial indications were tentative and could still be traced to contaminants. The spacecraft is made of plastic, for example, he said. But Brownlee also said it wouldn't be surprising to find organics in comet dust. I would suspect that somewhere around 10 percent would be organic particles, he said. Scientists have known for a long time that organic compounds exist in space, and the term shouldn't be understood to refer to a biological source for the compounds. However, some scientists suggest organics could have arrived on Earth from space to serve as the building blocks for primitive life. Checking the compounds A co-investigator for the Stardust mission, Scott Sandford of NASA's Ames Research Center, agreed that organic readings could be due to contamination. Just because we detect a compound doesn't mean it's a cometary compound, he told MSNBC.com. But so far, he said, it looks like we brought back a pretty clean capsule. Sandford said researchers are finding little facts here and there, but it's not falling all together, simply because it's too early to get a comprehensive sense of the composition of the cometary dust. Nevertheless, he said, everybody on the team is really pleased - things could have been a lot more complicated. In the weeks and months ahead, Sandford and his team will be analyzing the types of carbon found in the samples - not only to trace the organics, but also to determine whether such compounds predated the formation of the solar system. Scientists say comets represent the cold leftovers from the solar system's beginnings, 4.5 billion years ago. The Stardust samples confirm that the material thrown off by Comet Wild 2 has not undergone chemical change for billions of years, Brownlee said: It's never been hot. So far, the Stardust team has not seen firm evidence that the cometary samples contained water - and that ingredient should be abundant in comets, which are popularly called dirty snowballs. Brownlee emphasized that the water could not be detected directly. Rather, scientists would look for the presence of hydrated minerals created by interaction with water. We do not see hydrated silicates, at least so far, Brownlee said. Solving the puzzles Scientists at the AAAS meeting said that Stardust could eventually shed light on many of the puzzles surrounding comets and the solar system's formation. Dust, lowly dust, plays a very important role in the birth of solar systems and the death of solar systems, said Lee Anne Willson, an Iowa State University astronomer who studies dust conditions around dying stars. Joe Nuth of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center said that Stardust represents a very great challenge for us, and that the mission's findings will likely rule in or rule out a variety of theories about the nature of comets and the genesis of the solar system.

[meteorite-list] Dark Lava Floor of Crater Billy Seen By SMART-1
http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEM7Z3MVGJE_index_0.html Dark lava floor of crater Billy seen by SMART-1 European Space Agency 16 February 2006 This composite image, taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft, shows crater Billy at the edge of a large lava plain on the Moon. The AMIE camera obtained two images in consecutive orbits, from a distance of about 1260 kilometres with a ground resolution of approximately 114 metres per pixel. Each image has a field of view of 56 kilometres. Crater Billy is located on the southern fringes of the Oceanus Procellarum, on the western half of the Moon's Earth-facing side (50° West, 13.5° South). It lies to the south-east of the similar-sized crater Hansteen and west-south-west of the lava-flooded crater Letronne. The Oceanus Procellarum's southern area is low on spectacle but high in terms of geological interest. An irregular bay, the Mare Humorum on the edge of the ocean can be seen below and to the east of the craters Billy and Hansteen. Billy is an old impact crater, 46 kilometres in diameter, with a rim rising to 1300 metres above its flat floor. The floor of Billy has been flooded by basaltic lava with a low albedo, meaning it leaves a dark surface. Billy's floor is one of the darkest spots on the Moon's face, and can easily be seen any time when it is illuminated, even at full Moon. Billy contrasts with Hansteen, which is light-coloured with a hummocky floor. Billy is named after the French Jesuit astronomer Jacques de Billy (1602-79), who was one of the first to reject the role of astrology in science, along with superstitious notions about the malevolent influence of comets.

[meteorite-list] Deep Impact Mission Update - February 2006
http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/update-200602.html Deep Impact Mission Update January/February 2006 Water Ice Found on a Small Portion of the Comet's Nucleus By Lucy McFadden In a paper appearing in Science Express on Feb. 2, 2006, an article by Sunshine et al. reports on the Deep Impact science team's finding of a small area of water ice on the surface of Tempel 1. This is the first time that water ice has been observed on the surface of a comet. Past efforts with the near-IR spectrometer on Deep Space 1 mission flying past comet Borrelly and from the ground of comets far from the sun and not enshrouded with coma, have yielded no evidence of water ice on their surface. As a comet approaches the Sun, it releases gas and dust in its immediate vicinity forming the coma and obscuring the nucleus from view unless spacecraft can get at close range. Deep Impact did just that. Imaging with the two cameras, the HRI and MRI showed small regions that were about 30% brighter than surrounding areas. After scaling the images to an average value of the nucleus, three discrete areas on the nucleus are brighter in the ultraviolet and darker in the near-infrared. When Co-Investigator Dr. Jessica Sunshine looked at the spectra in that region, after subtracting a thermal component, what was left was the spectral signature of water ice, in the form of absorption bands at 1.5 and 2.0 µm. Absorption bands at these wavelengths are diagnostic of water ice. The combination of the relative colors and the spectra make a powerful case that there is water ice at these specific locations on Tempel 1. Given that the spectrometer has a two dimensional detector, it is possible to make a map of Tempel 1 at the wavelength of the ice absorption bands. That map shows that the bright regions in the UV are correlated with dark regions in the near-IR where water ice absorbs light. Since the visible images have a higher spatial resolution, we use those images to calculate the extent of ice on Tempel 1's surface. That turns out to be a small fraction of the surface, only 0.5%. Next, the temperature map is combined with the color map, showing that two of the three regions are colder regions of the nucleus. Stereo images show the largest area of ice to be a depression 80 meters below surrounding areas. Never the less, the temperatures in this region are 285 -295 K, significantly above the ~200K at which ice would sublimate in space at the location of Tempel 1. What is significant is that the extent of this ice on Tempel 1's surface is not sufficient to produce the observed abundance of water and its by-products in the comet's coma. The team thus concludes that there are sources of water from beneath the comet's surface that supply the cometary coma as well. Also important is that the particle size of the water ice, is greater than the icy grains in the coma, and is probably recondensed onto the comet's surface. It is therefore probably not a primary block of cometary material which would be called a cometesimal. Science Results, the View from Ground and Space By Ray Brown Introduction Is it all over but the shouting? Definitely, not. It is time to use the massive amount of data relayed back to Earth from the Deep Impact instruments. Analysis will likely go on for years. This article is a digest of a set of papers prepared by the Deep Impact science team and collaborators and published in a special section of the October 14, 2005 issue of Science. Here we focus on background science, results and conclusions rather than data or analytical methods. In particular we study the results relating to our search for primordial ices. K. J. Meech et al. present a summary of observations made world-wide and in space. They point out that observations began in 1997 and continued into 2005, and that, in 2005 alone, the campaign claimed the attention of 73 Earth-based telescopes at 35 observatories in addition to observatories based in space. It was an unprecedented coordinated observational campaign. [1] Figure 1 Fig. 1: Map of Earth, showing the locations of observatories collaborating in the coordinated campaign (red dots).

Before, During and After with the Keck 2 The telescopes in Hawaii had the second best seat (after the flyby spacecraft) for watching the encounter. In their article, M. J. Mumma et al.[2] describe their observations made with the 10 meter Keck 2 telescope high atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. As the stream of ejecta emerged from the crater its intensity increased due to the outflow of dust. and also its ability to emit light. The intensity of the total coma rose quickly for about 40 minutes after which it rose slowly and leveled off toward the end of observing time, about 2

[meteorite-list] Stardust Update - February 21, 2006
http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/news/status/060221.html Stardust Status Report February 21, 2006 Dr. Peter Tsou Stardust Deputy Principal Investigator Happy Valentine's from Stardust! [Image] Heart-shaped comet particle extracted from aerogel As part of the first Sample Processing Cycle, the keystone of the first released particle was taken to the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York and examined by the far-IR beam. The particle was shown to be definitely a cometary mineral and not secondary debris. As part of the second Sample Processing Cycle, the terminal particle - the particle at the end of the tract - was removed from the keystone for further analyses on Valentine's Day. To our surprise, we found the particle to be heart-shaped! Happy Valentine's to the world from Stardust! I have been assured that this is the real shape of the particle! This particle will be embedded in sulfur first with few wafers removed for mineralogy and petrology studies, and then the remainder of the particle will be pressed into Au foil for isotopic studies. During the second Sample Processing Cycle, we removed four additional Wild 2 aerogel cells with relative ease, after having made some adjustments learned from the first Cycle. All four cells are being scanned by the binocular microscope as well as the compound microscope to capture more of the smaller particle tracks. More keystones, quickstones and mircrotomes slides are being made to supply the eagerly awaiting analysts around the world. We have also taken a sample from the largest capture tract without removing the cell from the Wild 2 tray, to provide definitive proof that the largest particles are from Wild 2 and are not secondary debris. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Thanks Mark, I am only parting with it because I do not collect irons. I could not resist acquiring it though because of the coolness factor we all get caught up in from time to time. I would love to collect irons but I live right on the Puget Sound, a salt water body. I could throw a rock from my front door during high tide and hit the water I am so close. Interestingly enough, I don't seem to have too much problems with rust if I keep things out in the open and let air circulate around them. I find that by coating specimens or enclosing them in plastic bags I have more problems. I do not know if Muonionalusta is susceptible to rust but do not want to take a chance on this beauty.

[meteorite-list] Texas State Research Sheds New Light on Panspermia
http://talbot.mrp.txstate.edu/currents/fullstory.jsp?sid=689 Texas State research sheds new light on panspermia By Jayme Blaschke Texas State University-San Marcos February 21, 2006 When the space shuttle Columbia broke apart during reentry Feb. 1, 2003, more than 80 on-board science experiments were lost in the fiery descent. Texas State University-San Marcos biologist Robert McLean, however, has salvaged some unexpected science from the wreckage. A strain of slow-growing bacteria survived the crash, a discovery which may have significant implications for the concept of panspermia. The findings will be published in the May 2006 issue of Icarus, the international journal of solar system studies. Panspermia is the idea that life--hitchhiking on rocks ejected from meteorite impacts on one world--could travel through space and seed other worlds with life under favorable conditions. Because the conditions under which panspermia could function are so harsh, however, there's been little direct testing of the hypothesis. That might have been in the back of my mind when we recovered our payload, McLean said. McLean, along with a team of Texas State researchers, had placed an experiment package aboard the Columbia to investigate the interactions of three different bacterial species in microgravity. When the shuttle broke up over Texas, they assumed the experiment lost--until it turned up, relatively intact, in the parking lot of a Nacogdoches convenience store. My first thinking when we found our payload was, 'Let's look for survivors.' And survivors he found--a bacteria called Microbispora. Ironically, Microbispora wasn't one of the three species McLean expected to find. The slow-growing organism is normally found in the soil, and McLean determined that it had contaminated the experiment prior to launch. With the Icarus publication, McLean anticipates request for samples of this rugged strain to come in from researchers around the world. This organism appears to have survived an atmospheric passage, with the heat and the force of impact, he said. That's only about a fifth of the speed that something on a real meteorite would have to survive, but it is at least five or six times faster than what's been tested before. This is important for panspermia, because if something survives space travel, it eventually has to get down to the Earth and survive passage through the atmosphere and impact. This doesn't prove anything--it just contributes evidence to the plausibility of panspermia. Realistically, that's all it can do, McLean said. Out of respect for the seven people who gave their lives for this research, I feel it's very important these results don't get lost. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Mark's Tucson Report and Martin's Signs Gallery
Mark, it was a joke, a sad pathetic joke that ran it's course in about 5 minutes, but didn't die. When Jim Strope and I announced our new Lunar, apparently the next day, Edwin and Ted Bunch thought it would be funny to call us and say that he had a 2 kilo Martian meteorite in his room. Of course, we rushed right over to see it, and the laughing started as it was so funny that we would rush back to the hotel to see this new Mars rock. Then Edwin decided to just keep saying it, and added the 1.5 kilo Lunar to the rumor as well. We spoke with Ted after a few days when customers started coming to my room and when I showed them the new Lunar, they commented that they saw a much larger one over at E'T's. So he was telling people he had a 1.5 kilo Lunar, a flat out lie since the rock he had there was not even a meteorite. I am offended at this, and I told them that. This was a pathetic attempt by someone who had no new planetary to diminish my room which had no less than 11 Lunars: DAG 400, Dhofar 025, Dhofar 081, Dhofar 908, Dhofar 1180, NEA 001, NWA 482, NWA 2200, NWA 2727, NWA 2977, NWA 2995, and for a time, Greg Hupe's 1 kilo Lunar was in my room as well, so Room 184 had OVER 2 kilograms of real lunar on display, and that seemed to chap some people's backsides enough for them to lie about what they had. There 10 Martian meteorites as well: (there were more but I can not remember) DAG 476, Dhofar 019, NWA 998, NWA 1068, NWA 2046, SAU 180, Zagami (a complete slice of 101 grams). This is a tactic that some dealers use to get people to their rooms (telling people they have things that they do not) and to diminish what other dealers have. I think it has gone far enough, now that Mark is publishing it as truth, and ET needs to apologize and tell people why he was lying to people, telling them he had a 1.5 kilo Moon rock and 2 kilo Martian meteorite (that was actually a nice Diogenite).

[meteorite-list] Stardust Images from AAAS
http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/news/status/2006_aaas.html Stardust Images from AAAS Below are three images released on February 20, 2006 by Don Brownlee during a Stardust briefing at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting held in St. Louis. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Washington . [Image] This image shows a comet particle collected by the Stardust spacecraft. The particle is made up of the silicate mineral forsterite, also known as peridot in its gem form. It is surrounded by a thin rim of melted aerogel, the substance used to collect the comet dust samples. The particle is about 2 micrometers across. [Image] This image shows the tracks left by two comet particles after they impacted the Stardust spacecraft's comet dust collector. The collector is made up of a low-density glass material called aerogel. Scientists have begun extracting comet particles from these and other similar tadpole-shaped tracks. [Image] This image illustrates one of several ways scientists have begun extracting comet particles from the Stardust spacecraft's collector. First, a particle and its track are cut out of the collector material, called aerogel, in a wedge-shaped slice called a keystone. A specialized silicon pickle fork is then used to remove the keystone from the remaining aerogel for further analysis. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
