 Found: 24 May 2013
 
 Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CM2)
 
 History: (H. Chennaoui Aoudjehane, M. Aoudjehane, A. Laroussi, A. Bouferra) 
 In early June 2013, A. Bouferra, a meteorite hunter from Smara, reported a 
 new carbonaceous chondrite that had been found close to Smara. Due to its 
 proximity to Smara (7 km), many meteorite hunters visited the area in the 
 summer of 2013.
 
 Physical characteristics: Total mass is estimated about 6 kg, with small and 
 complete pieces between 3 and 10 g, a few medium-sized pieces 10 to 200 g and 
 rare big pieces 200 g. The largest sample is ~900 g. Fresh looking fusion is 
 crust present on many fragments. Some fragments are wind ablated. Some cracks 
 contain secondary, crystalline alteration products. Interior of stones is 
 black and peppered with chondrules.
 
 Petrography: (R. Hewins, MNHNP, L Garvie, ASU). The meteorite contains 
 chondrules and fragments of Types I and II. These include BO-PO, formerly 
 metal-rich, and olivine-pyroxene Type I chondrules. Type II chondrules with 
 forsterite relict grains are present. There are regions packed with chondrule 
 material and coarse PCP, and zones with scattered chondrule material in 
 fine-grained matrix. Chondrule sizes range up to 1.2 mm, though most are 
 around 200 μm. A few CAIs are 800 μm. Powder x-ray diffraction shows a strong 
 0.7 nm peak for serpentines, a broad but weaker peak around 1.3 nm 
 corresponding to smectites, and a weak broad peak consistent with tochilinite.
 
 Geochemistry: (R. Hewins, MNHNP) Olivine is Fa0.98±0.44 and Fa25-40. Pyroxene 
 is Fs2.6±1.5 and Fs40-61. Rare kamacite with 5.8 wt% Ni is present. (P. 
 Cartigny, IPGP) The oxygen isotopic compositions of two pieces were 
 determined as δ18O 3.811±0.09 and 5.851±0.016, δ17O -2.446±0.040 and 
 -0.601±0.026, respectively. Δ17O values are -4.441 and -3.663, mean -4.052.
 
 Classification: The oxygen isotope compositions, petrography and mineral 
 compositions are all consistent with CM2
 
 Specimens: 17.8 g MNHNP, 17.4 g FSAC provided by L. Labenne, 20 g UNM 
 provided by G. Fujihara, 122 g ASU provided by Farmer. Other collection 
 masses include: Farmer 2.6 kg, Labenne 1.6 kg, T. Jakobowski 512 g, G.

Re: [meteorite-list] Jbilet Winselwan

It has a great name, worthy of such a fresh and rare type. One of the freshest 
cm2 meteorites I've seen, many pieces have velvety black crust some flow lines 
even. It is very fragile and most pieces shattered into fragments. Wind and 
sand did their work on exposed surfaces which polished them up. I actually wire 
saw cut some pieces and the interior is gorgeous.
This is a must have for any carbonaceous collector.

Re: [meteorite-list] Jbilet Winselwan

Agreed about the name.  It sounds like something from a sci-fi script.
 It's either the name of a Jedi Knight Jbilet Winselwan who trained
under Yoda, or it's the name of Harry Potter's pet homunculus.
Definitely one of the coolest-looking names in a while.  I am somewhat
at a loss for how to pronounce it.  I'll need to hear someone speak it
before I'll know if I am pronouncing it correctly in my head.

In my head and I am hearing myself say something like Giblet
Winzel-wan  ...?

 200 g and rare big pieces 200 g. The largest sample is ~900 g. Fresh
 looking fusion is crust present on many fragments. Some fragments are
 wind
 ablated. Some cracks contain secondary, crystalline alteration
 products.
 Interior of stones is black and peppered with chondrules.

 Petrography: (R. Hewins, MNHNP, L Garvie, ASU). The meteorite contains
 chondrules and fragments of Types I and II. These include BO-PO,
 formerly
 metal-rich, and olivine-pyroxene Type I chondrules. Type II chondrules
 with forsterite relict grains are present. There are regions packed
 with
 chondrule material and coarse PCP, and zones with scattered chondrule
 material in fine-grained matrix. Chondrule sizes range up to 1.2 mm,

Re: [meteorite-list] Jbilet Winselwan

I think this bears repeating -

Jbilet Winselwan is a good example of how to properly classify a
meteorite from a diverse region such as the Saharan NWA dense
collection area.

Thanks to careful coordination between scientists, hunters, and
collector/dealers, the various individual separate finds were gathered
together under one lead and this was collectively classified to
achieve a single non-anonymous entry in the Meteoritical Bulletin.

Previously, a find like this would have been split up a dozen ways
independently with no communication or coordination between the
parities who acquired material from the field. Each party would have
classified their own material, which would have resulted in several
redundant and anonymous NWA  entries in the Met Bull. Instead,
we now have a single concise accounting of this new find.

Well done to everyone involved. This is how it should be done. :)

Rare meteorite preserved for present and future scientists
by Jeff Munson
Carson Now
August 21, 2013

The main mass of a rare meteorite observed in the skies over Carson City,
Carson Valley and Lake Tahoe that exploded over California's Sierra foothills
in April 2012 will be preserved for current and future scientific discoveries,
thanks to the collaborative efforts of five U.S. academic institutions.

It has found a permanent home divided among the University of California,
Davis; the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History
in Washington, D.C.; American Museum of Natural History in New York City;
The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago; and Arizona State University
in Tempe. Together, the institutions have successfully acquired the biggest
known portion of the Sutter's Mill meteorite.

The meteorite is considered to be one of the rarest types to hit the Earth
-- a carbonaceous chondrite containing cosmic dust and presolar materials
that helped form the planets of the solar system.

Its acquisition signifies enhanced research opportunities for each institution
and ensures that future scientists can study the meteorite for years to
come.

With these museums and institutions storing the meteorite's main mass,
it leaves it in a pristine condition to preserve for future generations
to study, said UC Davis geology professor Qing-zhu Yin. Fifty or 100
years from now, we may have new technology that will enable later generations
to revisit the meteorite and do research we haven't thought of. This gives
us a better chance to realize the full scientific value of the meteorite,
rather than have it be just a collector's item.

The meteorite formed about 4.5 billion years ago. While it fell to Earth
roughly the size of a minivan before exploding as a fireball, less than
950 grams have been found. Its main mass weighs just 205 grams (less than
half a pound) and is about the size of a human palm.

The main mass was X-rayed by CT scan at the UC Davis Center for Molecular
and Genomic Imaging. This was the first time a meteorite acquisition was
CT scanned before its division among a consortium of institutes, allowing
prior knowledge of each piece's contents. Then it was cut into five portions,
reflective of each institution's investment, before being delivered to
the institutions.

The portion of the main mass acquired by each institution includes:

* American Museum of Natural History: 34 percent
* Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History: 32 percent
* The Field Museum of Natural History: 16 percent
* Arizona State University: 13 percent
* UC Davis: 5 percent

When the meteorite landed near Sutter's Mill, the gold discovery site
that sparked the California Gold Rush, it spurred a scientific gold rush
of sorts, with researchers, collectors and interested citizens scouring
the landscape for fragments of meteorite. The institutions that have acquired
the main mass were among those that acted on this rare scientific opportunity
to gain insights about the origins of life and the formation of the planets.

At UC Davis, for instance, the meteorite fell just 60 miles east of the
main campus. Yin immediately traveled to the site with students and colleagues,
looking for specimens and reaching out to the public to provide meteorite
donations for science. He confirmed for the original discoverer of the
main mass that it was carbonaceous chondrite. Yin and his UC Davis colleagues
have also X-rayed the meteorite and determined its age and chemical composition.

It just happened in our backyard,' said Yin. I felt obligated to do
something, and I still do.

Involvement from the other institutions included:

* The American Museum of Natural History worked closely with Yin to secure
specimens of the Sutter's Mill meteorite right after its fall, and performed
nondestructive computed tomography (CT) scans of several specimens kindly
loaned by their finders. These scans were used to determine the density
of several samples to very high accuracy, confirming the type of meteorite
represented by Sutter's Mill.

* The Field Museum of Natural History found several presolar stardust
grains in two smaller pieces of the meteorite donated by private collector
Terry Boudreaux. Presolar stardust grains are the oldest solid samples
available to any lab and are essentially time capsules from before the
solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago.

* Arizona State University's Meenakshi Wadhwa, director of the Center
for Meteorite Studies, was contacted by Robert Haag, the private collector
who owned the main mass. She then contacted the other institutions to
initiate its joint acquisition.

* The Smithsonian Institution cut the mass into five portions.

Last spring, UC Davis alumnus Gregory Jorgensen and donor Sandy VanderPol
provided nearly 3 grams of the

[meteorite-list] Private vs. Institutional Curation (was - Sutter's Mill Meteorite Preserved For Present and Future Scientists)

Hi List,

I have a question for the advanced collectors -

How well do you curate your own collections? Are there any
privately-held collections who exercise similar environmental and
handling controls as the major scientific institutions?

Obviously, I doubt your average Joe has a pressurized clean-room like
JSC does, but are there any private collections that are known for
being scientifically-viable ?

What level of curation would be required to achieve a level of
preservation that science would find useful for research?

1) controlled environment storage - free of contaminants. Sealed
hermetic containers kept inside a climate-controlled area that has
positive pressure to the surrounding access. Ideally, this area
should be sealed from the rest of the building and any atmosphere
going in should be micro-filtered and monitored.

2) controlled handling - sterile handling area that meets the
conditions stated above for storage. No magnets or other types of
non-physical contamination.

3) extensive documentation of provenance and logged/recorded instances
of handling. Any cuts, samples, or portions removed are carefully
plotted and logged.

To be fair, most universities don't go through the whole JSC space
suit routine when curating their specimens. So, how much is needed
for a scientific institution to feel confident that a specimen from a
given private collector would be viable for scientific research?

Best regards,

MikeG

Hi Paul Swartz,
Considering that this only worked on my computer, of late, very
briefly, and for a short time after I asked, via email correspondence,
if you had blocked my IP address from viewing these Tuscon meteorites

because they couldn't remember to check your site daily on their own)
that you not clog up the list with them. Just my own request, and I am

my shoes. If you don't... Oh well, I will live with the slight
annoyances your posts constitute.
thanks for the consideration,

P.S. Please don't assume Paul is doing this, as it may be a third

coincidence, or bad luck for me having nothing to do with him.

[meteorite-list] WISE Spacecraft Reactivated to Hunt for Asteroid

RELEASE 13-263
 
NASA Spacecraft Reactivated to Hunt for Asteroids

Probe Will Assist Agency in Search for Candidates to Explore

A NASA spacecraft that discovered and characterized tens of thousands of  
asteroids throughout the solar system before being placed in hibernation will  
return to service for three more years starting in September, assisting the  
agency in its effort to identify the population of potentially hazardous  
near-Earth objects, as well as those suitable for asteroid exploration  
missions.

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) will be revived next month  
with the goal of discovering and characterizing near-Earth objects (NEOs),  
space rocks that can be found orbiting within 45 million kilometers (28  
million miles) from Earth's path around the sun. NASA anticipates WISE will  
use its 16-inch (40-centimeter) telescope and infrared cameras to discover  
about 150 previously unknown NEOs and characterize the size, albedo and  
thermal properties of about 2,000 others -- including some of which could be  
candidates for the agency's recently announced asteroid initiative.

The WISE mission achieved its mission's goals and as NEOWISE extended the  
science even further in its survey of asteroids. NASA is now extending that  
record of success, which will enhance our ability to find potentially  
hazardous asteroids, and support the new asteroid initiative, said John  
Grunsfeld, NASA's associate administrator for science in Washington.  
Reactivating WISE is an excellent example of how we are leveraging existing  
capabilities across the agency to achieve our goal.

NASA's asteroid initiative will be the first mission to identify, capture and  
relocate an asteroid. It represents an unprecedented technological feat that  
will lead to new scientific discoveries and technological capabilities that  
will help protect our home planet. The asteroid initiative brings together  
the best of NASA's science, technology and human exploration efforts to  
achieve President Obama's goal of sending humans to an asteroid by 2025.

Launched December 2009 to look for the glow of celestial heat sources from  
asteroids, stars and galaxies, WISE made about 7,500 images every day during  
its primary mission from January 2010 to February 2011. As part of a project  
called NEOWISE, the spacecraft made the most accurate survey to date of NEOs.  
NASA turned most of WISE's electronics off when it completed its primary  
mission.

The data collected by NEOWISE two years ago have proven to be a gold mine  
for the discovery and characterization of the NEO population, said Lindley  
Johnson, NASA's NEOWISE program executive in Washington. It is important  
that we accumulate as much of this type of data as possible while the WISE  
spacecraft remains a viable asset.

Because asteroids reflect but do not emit visible light, infrared sensors are  
a powerful tool for discovering, cataloging and understanding the asteroid  
population. Depending on an object's reflectivity, or albedo, a small,  
light-colored space rock can look the same as a big, dark one. As a result,  
data collected with optical telescopes using visible light can be deceiving.

During 2010, NEOWISE observed about 158,000 rocky bodies out of approximately  
600,000 known objects. Discoveries included 21 comets, more than 34,000  
asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, and 135 near-Earth  
objects.

The WISE prime mission was to scan the entire celestial sky in infrared  
light. It captured more than 2.7 million images in multiple infrared  
wavelengths and cataloged more than 560 million objects in space, ranging  
from galaxies faraway to asteroids and comets much closer to Earth.

The team is ready and after a quick checkout, we're going to hit the ground  
running, said Amy Mainzer, NEOWISE principal investigator at NASA's Jet  
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. NEOWISE not only gives us a better  
understanding of the asteroids and comets we study directly, but it will help  
us refine our concepts and mission operation plans for future, space-based  
near-Earth object cataloging missions.

JPL manages WISE for NASA's Science Mission Directorate at the agency's  
headquarters in Washington. The mission is part of NASA's Explorers Program,  
which NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., manages. The  
Space Dynamics Laboratory in Logan, Utah, built the science instrument. Ball  
Aerospace  Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colo., built the spacecraft.  
Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing  
and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Well, … the name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue Greg. But I hear where you 
are coming from. 

But I would like to reiterate what Mike Gilmer said earlier, giving kudos to 
Hasnaa Chennaoui and Brigitte Zanda for classifying the meteorite with 
sufficient documentation to warrant a geographic name (as opposed to 
nondescript NWA number). 

Following Mike's post, I would also like to say that I was in communication 
with Hasnaa, and other holders of this Smara CM2 material to gather information 
for TKW, to consolidate all known holdings under a single classification. And 
this is not the first time, I've consolidated with other dealers and collectors 
over NWA 7464, 7465, 7466.

Please consider sharing information with others before submitting for 
classification, as its far easier to consolidate before than to pair afterward. 
As a bonus, all holders can cost share the type deposit and analysis fees.

And no, this is not a shameless plug, but since you ask,

 Winselwan. I see a lot of interest in this CM2 meteorite for a bunch
 of reasons - price, name (as opposed to a number), freshness, etc...
 
 Take a look as I now have 2 pages of specimens to choose from.
 Starting at only $40 per gram. Many smaller sizes too - from about
 10mg to 5 grams as well as larger specimens up to 40 grams!

 Following Mike's post, I would also like to say that I was in communication 
 with Hasnaa, and other holders of this Smara CM2 material to gather 
 information for TKW, to consolidate all known holdings under a single

 dealers and collectors over NWA 7464, 7465, 7466.
 
 Please consider sharing information with others before submitting for 
 classification, as its far easier to consolidate before than to pair 
 afterward. As a bonus, all holders can cost share the type deposit and 
 analysis fees.

Re: [meteorite-list] Jbilet Winselwan CM2

I am curious why so many people submits less than the required 20 grams to get 
work done. Hardly seems fair to those of us who are overly generous all the 
time.

2013-08-21 Thread Greg Hupé

I agree, Being in direct contact when possible to provide the best possible 
'accurate' information has always been one of my main considerations in my 
meteoritic presence, which has been a daily activity for the last 18 years 
or so!


My most profound congratulations and respect go to Dr. Hasnaa Chennaoui et. 
al. for their consistent and accurate work when it come to NWA meteorites... 
BUT, please do not suggest a name takes away anything from all of the 
important meteorites that have been recovered out of North Africa... Most 
well known for their NWA moniker!


Congats again to al involved in such a wonderful collaboration!!

Best Regards,
Greg
