[meteorite-list] Queens diamond jubilee celebration at Glatton with the return of the Glatton meteorite
Hi all, A few members of BIMS and also Caroline Smith and Deborah Cassey from the NHM recently had a fantastic day at Glatton after being invited to put on a display for the villages Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Caroline and Deborah brought the Glatton meteorite back to the village and we also brought a few meteorites to display as well as some poster displays. The village seemed to really appreciate our display and the Glatton meteorite which was the star of the show got a lot of interest indeed. I have posted a few photos of the day on my website, see link below: (http://msg-meteorites.co.uk/articles/glatton-diamond-jubilee-2012/glatton-diamond-jubilee-2012-photos) A full write up will follow soon.

Re: [meteorite-list] International Meteorite Market (Rebuttal)
Hi List, I tried several times to post a rebuttal to this article, but it wouldn't let me. So I will post it here. Hi All, I am afraid I came across as hostile in my first post. That was not my intent. I would like to answer some points raised in the article : Article - Martian meteorites are known to sell for around $1,000 per gram. As a result, Harvey added, “The prices go up and up.” Not true. Many Martian meteorites sell for much less than $1000/gram. Pieces of the new Tissint fall were selling for less than $400/gram at the onset of the event. And one only has to look at Mr. Twelker's Meteorite Market website to see several different Mars meteorites selling for well under $1000/gram. Meteorites that are sold in micromount form typically sell for high prices per gram, but this does not translate to larger specimens. What a 10mg specimen sells for is no indication of what a 10g specimen will sell for. Article - The market value of meteorites began to rise in the late 1990s WRONG. Meteorite prices began to DROP in the early 1990's due to the increased availability of specimens coming out of Northwest Africa. Prices have dropped dramatically since that time. Many old-school collectors who built their collections prior to this period paid $10,000/gram or more for lunar meteorites. Now, lunar meteorites can be found for well under $1000/g. In fact, I just bought some lunar material this week for under $500/g. The same can be said for rare types like howardites and other achondrites. HED meteorites can now be purchased for less than $10/g, prior to the 1990's, these same meteorites sold for 10-times as much (if you could find them). The author of this article would have seen this if she had bothered to do any research beyond reading some sensational articles published in other media outlets. Article - At a New York City auction in 1998, the American Museum of Natural History spent a record-breaking $137,000 on a slice of a pallasite meteorite, whose luminous amber-toned crystals gleamed against a silvery nickel-iron matrix. Weeks later, an 18-pound iron meteorite was sold for $97,000 at an auction in San Francisco. These were flukes and those prices have never been attained since then. Auction prices are no indicator of the larger market. Two anxious bidders can drive up the price of any item well beyond it's true market value. Just take a look at eBay to see numerous examples of collectibles selling for prices that are downright silly. Article - “The skill level that some collectors have to get stones out of Africa rivals that of drug dealers,” says Dr. Harvey. “It’s clear that meteorites are so valuable to these collectors that they’re more than happy to get them and worry about the cost in terms of legality later on.” This is wrong and slanderous. Sure, there are a few bad apples in every group, including amongst scientists. For every unethical meteorite hunter, there are dozens who uphold the law and adhere to ethical standards. Article - But the quantity of meteorites being sent back from Antarctica isn’t enough, according to Harvey. “There’s lots and lots of demand,” he says. “If we magically started bringing back ten times as many meteorites as we do now, they’d still all get studied.” This is a half-truth at best. The ANSMET program brings back plenty of material for research. Some analytical techniques only require a few milligrams for research. A 10-gram chunk of meteorite will provide enough material for several dozen graduate students. JSC has vaults filled with hundreds of kilograms of material, and most of that will never be used for research. Article - “We are competing within a commercial market, although we have extremely limited finances,” said Dr. Smith. “There’s a danger in the price hiking of the market. Institutions without much money to purchase things may be priced out.” Not true. Institutions rarely (if ever) pay the same price that collectors do on the open market. Institutions benefit from partnerships with private hunters and often receive significant amounts of free donated material. Museum curators are not bidding on eBay auctions. Article - “We are competing within a commercial market, although we have extremely limited finances,” said Dr. Smith. “There’s a danger in the price hiking of the market. Institutions without much money to purchase things may be priced out.” Again, not true. How many institutions are out there bidding on eBay or purchasing from commercial dealers? Open market prices do not reflect what institutions and museums pay. In fact, many scientists and curators benefit from generous donations of material from the private sector. Speaking for myself, I have donated material free of charge numerous times to institutions for research. Article - Nevertheless, the sum well exceeded the museum’s annual acquisition budget (neither Dr. Smith nor Pitt would disclose the

Re: [meteorite-list] International Meteorite Market Article
I agree with what Adam (and Mike) are saying. Dr. Harvey's over the top analogy comparing collectors to drug dealers is unprofessional, totally unnecessary, and certainly not helpful to meaningful cooperation between scientists and collectors. '“There is a market out there that treats these [meteorites] as collectibles and curios, almost as though they were fine art or ancient artifacts,” Dr. Harvey explains.' Curio means: an unusual object; ancient means: really old. Well, if 500 million year-old magma ejected from the Martian surface that then took a million years to find its way to the Earth's surface isn't an ancient, collectible curio, what the heck is!

Re: [meteorite-list] Final report on analysis of fake martian meteorites sold on ebay
As was previously reported in this forum last month, ebay seller steelhorse1994 was dumping fake moon and mars rock displays on unsuspecting buyers through ebay listings for over a year. My involvement started a few months ago when I recognized the displays were suspect and made it my mission to uncover the fraud. I obtained one of these displays and solicited the assistance of Dr. Randy Korotev at Washington University to analyze it with neutron activation. His initial report to me last month indicated that it was NOT a rock from space and was indeed terrestrial. I immediately contacted eBay. Two days later, the fraud was no longer selling his fakes on eBay. There is still the occasional ebay seller reselling some of these fakes, an unfortunate repercussion of over 1000 bogus items dumped on eBay. Be on the lookout. The clear tell for ALL of his fakes is to observe the reverse display side image. It will say in big letters: American Meteorite Collectors Society, which of course is nonexistent, Authenicity Guaranteed. NOT. I followed up with eBay and inquired if they were planning to contact all the buyers who bought the fraudulent material. Their response was: Oh no, they would have to contact us, and within 45 days of the purchase. Are you kidding me? How self-serving is that! I have just received the final data analysis from Dr. Korotev regarding the display that I sent him and have reproduced his conclusions below. If anyone is interested in seeing the hard data (1 page, primarily regarding the REE), drop me a note, and I will forward it to you. Best regards, Daniel Noyes ...

Re: [meteorite-list] Final report on analysis of fake martian meteorites sold on ebay
Hi Daniel and List, Great work on exposing this fraud. And thanks also to Dr. Korotev for donating his time to analyze the bogus samples. As you said, the damage is done, and the market is contaminated with fake specimens. I would recommend that anyone who bought one of these displays to contact eBay about it, and to file a PayPal dispute case to freeze the scammer's funds. If anyone bought one of these bogus displays, please contact me via email and I will offer a genuine Moon or Mars display at a 40% discount off my published price, on one condition - you take the bogus display and smash it with a hammer and email me a photo of the destroyed fake. :) Best regards, MikeG -- --- Galactic Stone Ironworks - MikeG Web: http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter: http://twitter.com/GalacticStone RSS: http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 --- On 6/6/12, i...@moonmarsrocks.com i...@moonmarsrocks.com wrote: As was previously reported in this forum last month, ebay seller steelhorse1994 was dumping fake moon and mars rock displays on unsuspecting buyers through ebay listings for over a year.

[meteorite-list] Dawn Mission Video Shows Vesta's Coat of Many Colors
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-156 Dawn Mission Video Shows Vesta's Coat of Many Colors Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 06, 2012 PASADENA, Calif. - A new video from NASA's Dawn mission reveals the dappled, variegated surface of the giant asteroid Vesta. The animation drapes high-resolution false color images over a 3-D model of the Vesta terrain constructed from Dawn's observations. This visualization enables a detailed view of the variation in the material properties of Vesta in the context of its topography. The video is available online at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm?id=1085 . The colors were chosen to highlight differences in surface composition that are too subtle for the human eye to see. Scientists are still analyzing what some of the colors mean for the composition of the surface. But it is clear that the orange material thrown out from some impact craters is different from the surrounding surface material. Green shows the relative abundance of iron. Parts of the huge impact basin known as Rheasilvia in Vesta's southern hemisphere, for instance, have areas with less iron than nearby areas. Dawn has imaged the majority of the surface of Vesta with the framing camera to provide this 3-D map. While some areas in the north were in shadow at the time the images were obtained by the camera, Dawn expects to improve its coverage of Vesta's northern hemisphere with additional observations. Dawn's viewing geometry also prevented mapping of a portion of the mountain of the south pole. The spacecraft is currently spiraling up from its lowest-altitude orbit into its final science orbit, where its average altitude will be about 420 miles (680 kilometers). Dawn is scheduled to leave Vesta around Aug. 26. The Dawn mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., designed and built the Dawn spacecraft. The framing cameras were developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin made significant contributions in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering in Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR and NASA. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Re: [meteorite-list] Final report on analysis of fake martian meteorites sold on ebay, revisited
My apologies to all for not deleting the previous digest's postings when I replied earlier today, which clogged up the digest...thanks to Elton for pointing it out. I had trouble myself finding my posting in all that, so I am reposting it again: As was previously reported in this forum last month, ebay seller steelhorse1994 was dumping fake moon and mars rock displays on unsuspecting buyers through ebay listings for over a year. My involvement started a few months ago when I recognized the displays were suspect and made it my mission to uncover the fraud. I obtained one of these displays and solicited the assistance of Dr. Randy Korotev at Washington University to analyze it with neutron activation. His initial report to me last month indicated that it was NOT a rock from space and was indeed terrestrial. I immediately contacted eBay. Two days later, the fraud was no longer selling his fakes on eBay. There is still the occasional ebay seller reselling some of these fakes, an unfortunate repercussion of over 1000 bogus items dumped on eBay. Be on the lookout. The clear tell for ALL of his fakes is to observe the reverse display side image. It will say in big letters: American Meteorite Collectors Society, which of course is nonexistent, Authenicity Guaranteed. NOT. I followed up with eBay and inquired if they were planning to contact all the buyers who bought the fraudulent material. Their response was: Oh no, they would have to contact us, and within 45 days of the purchase. Are you kidding me? How self-serving is that! I have just received the final data analysis from Dr. Korotev regarding the display that I sent him and have reproduced his conclusions below. If anyone is interested in seeing the hard data (1 page, primarily regarding the REE), drop me a note, and I will forward it to you. Best regards, Daniel Noyes ... Dear Mr. Noyes: Here are the final INAA data on your fake martian meteorite. There appear to be no published data for NWA 4925, but according to my colleague Tony Irving, NWA 4925 is a depleted, permafic olivine shergottite, of which there are several, including SaU 005 and the new martian fall Tissint. Your rock is nothing like any of them.

Daniel and Dr Korotev Great job with this. I have been contact some eBay members today and letting them know by emailing them from eBay but I can only email about 10 people a day on eBay. I was able to go through Steelhorse1994 list and I see that they have sold a lot of the fake meteorites in May, so they are still at it. I went down his feed back list and was able to email up to Fast shipping!!
