[meteorite-list] FCM: AD: Thin Sections Super Special Sale - Meteorites Impactites 33$ each !! (no matter whether achondrite or chondrite, find or fall!!)
Dear Fans of the FC Meteorite House, and all, who still want to become a fan. We launch today a really respectable special sale of thin sections (TS) at unrivaled, low prices. An offer, which is so fantastic, that we don't have to write many words. We all know, who is the largest supplier of TSses in the collectors' scene. Chondrites starting there at 70-75$, hardly any achondritic TS found below 100$. Our TSses don't have that Mercedes-Benz-High-End-quality (neither btw. do the TSses used for classifications own that), as they don't have the standard thickness of 35µm, but are between 20µm and 30µm. Nevertheless they are very very useable and of course that circumstance is more than compensated in the price. All sections are covered. Here now the center of the AD: 33$ each! No matter whether chondrite or achondrite, no matter whether the surface is small or large, no matter whether find or fall, no matter how rare the locales is. Therefore, we think, not only apt for the specialized collector, but especially also for these, who maybe are interested to try once, whether thin sections could be a field of collection for them too! Let us start with the impactites, because impactite thin sections seem to be even rarer than meteoritic ones. The direct scans are large enough to decipher the labeling. Given is always the kind of rock, the name of the impact structure, its diameter and age. To offer the FCM has: http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Impactite_TS_01.jpg -Vredefort -Gardnos -Tenoumer -Söderfjärden -Dhala -Sudbury as well as http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Impactite_TS_02.jpg - Kentland - Ries - Glover Bluff - Dellen - Rochechouart - Ritland And here are coming the meteorite thin sections!

[meteorite-list] Museum Display
Hello All, Ray Watts has planned, organized, and set up a meteorite display at the Haldimand Museum in Ontario, CA. It's a four month diplay and Ray would like to thank many of you for your help in his endeavor. He's having trouble posting to the Met-List but wishes to extend his thanks. His display is having a good response from the locals and schools. Here's a small clip, in part, from a local newspaper. To learn more, plan to visit the museum and see this exciting exhibit exploring meteorites, space and the new frontier. The exhibit is on until April 15th. Special thanks to Ray Watts and the International Meteorite Collectors Association for the loan of the meteorites and expertise's. The museum is open Monday - Friday from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm. For further information on this exhibit, please contact the museum at 905-772-5880 or by email: krichard...@haldimandcounty.on.ca Thanks for your efforts Ray!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Deteriorating Situation in Mali
Quite right. The whole region is archaeologically very rich. There are also many private libraries of very ancient books, in many cases written over a thousand years ago on gazelle skins. Those had been kept hidden deep in the desert for many centuries who care deeply for them, and they were only starting to come out very recently. I hope their owners had the time to put them back in their hiding places. You can see just a few of those books in private libraries in the oasis of eastern Morocco, like Tamegroute. At least those books are safe for the time being. Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com impact...@aol.com -Original Message- From: Galactic Stone Ironworks meteoritem...@gmail.com To: Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Thu, Jan 17, 2013 8:31 am Subject: [meteorite-list] Deteriorating Situation in Mali Hi List, Some of the events going on in the Saharan Desert bear watching by the meteorite world. First, fundamentalist Islamists have seized control of northern Mali and ancient city of Timbuktu. I respect Islam and Muslims, but these fundamentalists are affiliated with Al-Qaeda and they have enforced Sharia law on the residents of northern Mali and Timbuktu. Worse, these militants are heavily-armed with black market weapons from the fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya. Why should meteorite collectors/dealers/hunters care? The fundamentalists are violent enemies of science and they have no tolerance for other religions or traditions. Much of Mali and Timbuktu is Sufi and the Sufi traditions are considered heretical to many fundamentalists. As we sit here discussing this, militants are destroying cultural heritage sites and wiping out anything that doesn't agree with their version of Sharia law. Remember what the Taliban did to the Buddhas of Bamiyan? Expect more of the same in Timbuktu. The violence has the potential to spread to the neighboring countries of Niger, Burkina Faso, Algeria, and Mauritania. These are all places that are familiar to the collectors of NWA meteorites. The strewnfields of Bassikounou, Gao, and many others are now too dangerous for outsiders. If you have been thinking about a meteorite hunting expedition to Mali or Niger, you may want to seriously rethink that idea now. In the last year, we have witnessed one war that is destroying one of the most ancient landscapes on Earth - Syria. Syria is being reduced to rubble, and now the famous city of Timbuktu is going to suffer the same fate - either from the fundamentalist militants or from the French military efforts to expel them. Let us all take a minute and stop what we are doing. Regardless of your faith, pray for the residents of the Sahara and that this violence will stop. The Saharan Desert is one of the most beautiful (yet desolate) places on Earth and this conflict has the potential to spread like a cancer to consume much of the land of desert meteorites.

Hello Richard, I got a call from a list member (hi!) waking me up this morning asking about it. I'm searching radar data, but the times are all over the board. I haven't seen any lighting variance in Sacramento/Mather on 16 security cameras here at home, but I haven't checked client cameras in the bay area yet... If the time could be pinned down (the reports are all over the place from 5am to almost 6am) that would help chunk through the radar. --- Jodie Thursday, January 17, 2013, 7:27:38 AM, you wrote: Hello List, Listening to local Sacramento radio: talk of a 5am fireball flashes and sonics to the south ...anyone heard anything?
