Hello Herman, I don’t own this meteorit. but I was bidding on ebay for it cause it looks very interesting to me. finally I didn’t get the item. but I still wonder if it was a meteowrong ... and yes, the photos are very fuzzy – like most macro-photos of small meteorits – and won’t tell much ... netfully, Clemens Schaber · Wels · Austria Am 29.08.2006 um 00:22 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello clemens;Welcome to the list.I viewed your great photo's but i couldn't tell much about the stones.They look a little like a granite or chert to me.The photo's were somewhat fuzzy on my computer.

[meteorite-list] New book on the history of meteoritics
Hello List Members, There is a brand new book published by the Geological Society of London. Details can be found on the Society's homepage: http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/template.cfm?name=bookshop_detailsaction=detailsid=725 I have just received my copy and can warmly recommend it to those interested in the history of meteoritics and museum collections. Especially the chaper by Ursula Marvin (the prominent expert on the history of meteoritics) is very readable. There is one little drawback: with PST 95.00 the list price is quite high. I could obtain my copy at the Zürich MetSoc Meeting at a special rate (30% off list price) and there may be a chance also for you to get this rate. I still have the special rate order form and could provide a copy to those seriously interested in this special publication. Best regards, Jörn Koblitz Here the details: The History of Meteoritics and Key Meteorite Collections, edited by G J H McCall, A J Bowden and R J Howarth (July 2006) This Special Publication has 24 papers with an international authorship, and is prefaced by an introductory overview which presents highlights in the field. The first section covers the acceptance by science of the reality of the falls of rock and metal from the sky, an account that takes the reader from BCE (before common era) to the nineteenth century. The second section details some of the world's most important collections in museums - their origins and development. The Smithsonian chapter also covers the astonishingly numerous finds in the cold desert of Antarctica by American search parties. There are also contributions covering the finds by Japanese parties in the Yamato mountains and the equally remarkable discoveries in the hot deserts of Australia, North Africa, Oman and the USA. The other seven chapters take the reader through the revolution in scientific research on meteoritics in the later part of the twentieth century, including terrestrial impact cratering and extraordinary showers of glass from the sky; tektites, now known to be Earth-impact-sourced. Finally, the short epilogue looks to the future. The History of Meteoritics and Key Meteorite Collections should appeal to historians of science, meteoriticists, geologists, astronomers, curators and the general reader with an interest in science.

Not sure why this is such a hot area for meteors. Dont expect to ever add any potential meteorite from this fall to your collection though.

[meteorite-list] Wethersfield Meteorites was Qhestion
Michael L Blood asked: In 1971 a meteorite struck a hous in Wethersfield,Conn. As if that weren't enough, ANOTHER meteorite struck another house in that small town in 1982! I'm stoked. However, I have NEVER seen either of these falls available for sale. Has ANYONE on the list seen either/ both of these falls available for sale? Anyone have any? The main mass of the 1982 fall is in the Peabody Museum of Natural History as noted in The Wethersfield Meteorite, Meteorites and Planetary Science, Peabody Museum of Natural History at: http://www.yale.edu/peabody/collections/met/index.html There was only 52 grams of fragments, which broke off of the 2.756 kg main mass. I suspect that these were consumed in the studies of the meteorite mentioned in the above article. The 1971 meteorite is owned by the Division of Meteorites of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. From what I found, there was only a main mass of 350 grams, which the Smithsonian now has.

Re: [meteorite-list] Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Nears End ofAerobraking
Hi Doug, Ron, list - Sadly, one must also remember that this type of technology is also useful for warhead re-entry. If we instead use it for something constuctive and beneficial, such as improving our understanding of the Earth's weather, then that's to the good. I suppose that what I'm trying to say is that technology always has two faces, and we always have to look at the uses to which it is going to be put. As far as Mars' lack of atmosphere and water goes, both escaped to space long ago. Mars' molten core cooled a long time back, and without its molten core's magnetic field's protection from the charged particles from the Sun, those particles carried Mars' water and atmosphere away - By the way, the holes in our ozone seem to be letting in increased levels of UV which are melting ice in Antartica and the Artic, which cold water is flowing onto the surface of the world's oceans - - all the best, Ef --- MexicoDoug [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Excerpt from Ron's MRO newsrelease: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/newsroom/pressreleases/20060825a.html On each of the aerobraking passes, the spacecraft records the density of the atmosphere on both the inbound and outbound legs as it flies through its closest approach to the planet. This information is used to characterize atmospheric variability, which helps guide the flight team to design the right maneuvers. The data will also be analyzed to understand the structure and circulation of the upper atmosphere. Dear List: What an understatement! Reading this, it hit me how far in the future we've arrived. The instrument is a result of a fine pedigree of prior devices empowering the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) to calculate the density of the atmosphere while getting a hot-foot. It is called something like the z-axis frictional drag accelerometer. I'm not sure if z is the axis of the spacecraft velocity (direction of travel) or the height above the Martian surface, but that is academic. What seems true is that this absolutely awesome science and engineering package doesn't just tell JPL navigators the atmosphere's local density as it skids in - but also has a detector of sorts that collects data which will teach us the density, composition and variations of the Martian atmosphere in a column from 200 km down to the surface? The little meteorite man inside of me can't help thinking how this sounds like may help out understanding of meteorite survivability after atmospheric entry. While the experiment toots a list of impressive studies in the above 100 km Martian atmosphere, and how it is helpful in refining the precision aerobraking maneuvers, including Where did all the water from Mars' surface escape? - there is also mention that variation is of the atmospheric is of the order 10's of percent (which I would think means 50% is possible if not common). http://www.cosis.net/abstracts/EPSC2006/00644/EPSC2006-A-00644.pdf Wow.

[meteorite-list] James Van Allen's Last Science Paper: Likelihood of Asteroids Impacting Earth
http://space.com/scienceastronomy/060829_science_tuesday.html James Van Allen's Last Science Paper By Abigail W. Leonard space.com 29 August 2006 Until his death this month at the age of 91, James Van Allen continued to do work that had fascinated him since childhood and made him a leading figure of America's Space Age. Van Allen spent a lifetime exploring the universe, and is most famous for discovering the radiation belts circling Earth which now bear his name. In what would be his last paper, he explored a subject that hits somewhat closer to home: The likelihood of an asteroid colliding with Earth. Asteroid watch The research, published in this month's American Journal of Physics, details how the likelihood of such an event is enhanced by the gravitational pull between the two bodies. The research shouldn't raise concern about possible collisions though, said Dave Tholen, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii. It can happen, but I wouldn't worry about it. We are actively discovering near-Earth asteroids and computing their orbits to monitor the situation. Tholen said astronomers are intensely focused these days on an asteroid called Apophis, which is set to pass less than 24,000 miles from Earth on April 13, 2029. Van Allen's paper, which details how scientists estimating the probability of a collision should take Earth's gravitational pull into account, could help researchers calculate whether the asteroid will become a threat. Beyond imagination Colleagues say this and other examples of Van Allen's work are remarkable not only for what he found, but also because of the simple experimental designs he employed. He really showed that by focusing on the fundamental question and designing simple instruments, you could reveal things about nature you wouldn't have imagined, said Ed Stone, a physics professor at the California Institute of Technology. When the American team launched its first satellite, Explorer 1, into space, Van Allen had the prescience to attach a self-designed radiation detector to it. While the team didn't manage to beat the Russians into space, his instrument sent back data giving the first evidence of the donut-shaped rings circling the Earth. Working to the end Frank McDonald, Senior Research Scientist at the University of Maryland, was a post-doctoral student at the University of Iowa during Van Allen's early days there. He worked with him on so-called rockoons, rockets attached to balloons, which measured space radiation even before Explorer 1 went up. McDonald says the recent paper on asteroids, which he describes as more educational than revolutionary, is evidence of Van Allen's commitment to teaching. He was an outstanding mentor, and one of his missions in life was training students, McDonald said. In addition to teaching science, Van Allen also taught students to be savvy fundraisers for it. You learned that when you wanted to get something from a group, to go in with a statement already written about what you wanted - whenever I was in D.C., he always urged me to visit the Office of Naval Research. That Van Allen would still be publishing into his nineties comes as no surprise to McDonald. You're talking to somebody who just turned 81 and comes in every day, so it doesn't surprise me at all. I couldn't imagine him not doing it and not having him there ten years ahead of me, he said. And this is a heck of a lot more fun than retiring to Florida. We're still seeing things we never expected to see. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Dear List Members, I am still considering offers for my 530 gram pairing to NWA 011 for another week. It represents the largest stone in this group. If you want to make an offer, now is the time to do it. You never know, I may accept your offer so do not be bashful! Here is the original post from last week regarding this offer: I am sure everyone has heard of NWA 011 and its pairings NWA 2400 and NWA 2976. NWA 011 was originally thought to be from Mercury by Japanese scientists in 2000 but since then it has been classified as ungrouped, very cool all the same. I have a 530 gram pairing that I acquired a few months ago which took several months of negotiating to bring back from Morocco. I would like to try and find a home for it intact. I am considering offers for a couple of weeks and if I accept one, then we can do a couple things; 1) Keep it intact and not have an NWA assigned but will come with a written statement from the scientists at the University of Washington who examined it determining the pairing, 2) Cut the stone and supply a 20 gram type sample to have an NWA assigned or 3) If I do not receive an adequate offer to cover my costs than I will cut it, submit a type sample and have an NWA number assigned, then offer slices at a very competitive rate (One of the pairings was recently being offered at $1,000.00 per gram). Here is a link to a photo of the 530 gram complete stone: http://www.lunarrock.com/gh-231/gh-231.jpg If you are interested in making an offer or have any questions, please email me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I should be able to make a decision by September 8th, just before the Denver Mineral Show.

Pretty neat seeing images of Art from different time periods. http://geowww.geo.tcu.edu/faculty/Ehlmannmovie.mov In a side note I donated a good portion of what was a vast impactite collection to the museum a few months ago. Many of these were choice specimens thanks to several list members I had traded with the like, or sold dozens of pieces of and kept the better. (Thank you to those that helped me build the collection, it is hard to single anyone out, so perhaps I can get by with giving special thanks to the European collectors and Dirk Ross). Monnig collected meteorites when few craters were known and therefore few impactites were in the collection with Ehlmann took over as curator. While Art had done a great job at picking up many several examples in the last few years, it was not too hard for me to double their inventory. If any list member has any rare or special impactite specimens that they think might be of interest to the museum, and willing to donate them, feel free to e-mail me and I can help you out, or e-mail Art directly. I have not spoken with Art on sending this e-mail so you might keep that in mind if e-mailing him.

Thanks, Paul, Great to have the info, even though it is disappointing. Best wishes, Michael on 8/29/06 7:11 AM, Paul at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Michael L Blood asked: In 1971 a meteorite struck a hous in Wethersfield,Conn. As if that weren't enough, ANOTHER meteorite struck another house in that small town in 1982! I'm stoked. However, I have NEVER seen either of these falls available for sale. Has ANYONE on the list seen either/ both of these falls available for sale? Anyone have any? The main mass of the 1982 fall is in the Peabody Museum of Natural History as noted in The Wethersfield Meteorite, Meteorites and Planetary Science, Peabody Museum of Natural History at: http://www.yale.edu/peabody/collections/met/index.html There was only 52 grams of fragments, which broke off of the 2.756 kg main mass. I suspect that these were consumed in the studies of the meteorite mentioned in the above article. The 1971 meteorite is owned by the Division of Meteorites of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. From what I found, there was only a main mass of 350 grams, which the Smithsonian now has.

[meteorite-list] More on the 1982 Wethersfield Meteorite
Hello Michael, Paul and list, A few newspaper articles on the 1982 Wethersfield meteorite can be found on my website here: http://www.meteoritearticles.com/znpwethersfield.html As noted in the above, and in Paul's e-mail, the homeowners Wanda and Robert Donahue donated the meteorite to the Peabody museum. The Peabody museum's meteorites are quite impression and it is the oldest (curated) meteorite collection in the United States. I took the opportunity to examine the collection a couple years ago and was quite impressed. Spurred by Michael's e-mail I spoke with Robert and Wanda Donahue this morning. Robert seemed a little more aged then Wanda (for lack of better word), liked he asked where I was a couple times, but Wanda was very clear minded and answered all my questions. Both were kind and I mean no disrespect to Robert with my comment. Wanda recalled, We were overwhelmed, of course. We both heard the noise. A real loud crash. We ran into the room and looked at the ceiling and saw the sky. She also remembered the names of all the people that examined the meteorite or were associated with it to some degree at the beginning. Dr. Roy Clarke made a positive impression on her. I asked what happened to the damage and was told they had the whole ceiling cut out and put into acrylic. This was donated to the local historical society. The item was on display a number of years but is not currently.

Greg Redfern's Article on CBIC is truley spellbinding.

Hi All, what a coincidence: Teresa Moss, director of the Monnig Meteorite Gallery, has a really big job: she was recently selected as a solar system ambassador by The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a division of NASA.

a nice outfit for taking macro photographs any time of the day or night can be assembled with some imagination and a few dollars. spray some reflective silver paint in a box, line the bottom with your favorite color of felt use a desk lamp for illumination and photograph your item in the box. or you can purchase an e-photomaker at www.bogenimaging.us .

Re: [meteorite-list] meteorite Magazine CBIC
Gerald and List, I heartily second Gerald's comments on Greg's excellent article. Greg's passion for the CBIC and impacts in general is quite evident. But even more importantly is his drive to help educate our kids on the significance of such events. I know that Greg spends a lot of his time volunteering in this sort of matter, and I for one greatly appreciate his efforts. Thanks for all your hard work, Greg, and for giving us such a great story to read! It certainly gave me a whole new perspective on the awesome forces that created the CBIC.
