[meteorite-list] Los Angeles Meteorite Anniversary
Hi, Fourteen years ago today, Bob Verish was cleaning out his rock collection. His collection had grown so large, he had to store some of the collection in his backyard. Rats had built their nests in the boxes, which his wife had noticed. So at her insistence, he was clearing out these rats nests. As he was doing so, he came across two rocks in his collection which he had picked up somewhere in the Mojave Desert about 20 years prior. At the time he collected them, he noted they were unusual, but did not recognize them as meteorites. But now, he recognized the rocks as meteorites with their obvious fusion crust, and the smaller of the two stones was a perfect oriented meteorite. The paired rocks were to be classified as Mars meteorites and named the Los Angeles meteorite.

[meteorite-list] 77th Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society
http://www.metsoc2014casablanca.org/ [Note: website banner says Sep 8-13, 2014, text says Sep 7-12, 2014] 77th Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society September 8-13, 2014 Casablanca, Morocco WHEN and WHERE You are cordially invited to attend the 77th Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society, to be held September 7-12, 2014, in Casablanca, Morocco. Casablanca is Morocco's largest city. Located in the North-west of Morocco on the Atlantic ocean, the city of Casablanca is known all over the world. Beside to be the economic capital of a fast developing country, Casa is a prestigious centre of art and architecture, showing a unique blend of traditional Mauresquearchitecture and Art Deco. To be immersed in this atmosphere, the meeting will be held in the Hyatt Regency Casablanca in the city centre, within walking distance of hotels, railway station. Plenary, oral, and poster sessions will be held in the conference centre at the Hyatt Regency Casablanca, which will also provide accommodations for meeting attendees. Scheduled events include an icebreaker during the registration, a banquet, an award ceremony and several excursions. Two pre-conference workshops will be held at the Hyatt Regency Casablanca the weekend before the meeting and a post-conference field trip will be organized in the South Morocco. This meeting will be a unique opportunity for researchers from Africa and Middle East to meet Planetary Sciences experts to trigger off discussions on the most advanced techniques for studying meteorites, cosmic dusts, asteroids and comets, and on their implications on the origin and the evolution of the Solar System. The conference will also outline the importance of such extra-terrestrial research field in countries adjacent to Sahara and Arabia, in which meteorites abound and impact craters exist or have yet to be discovered. Morocco is indeed one of the most important countries in the world for meteorite finds. It is the origin of most NWA meteorites and some rare specimen. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] MRO HiRISE Images: October 30, 2013
MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES October 30, 2013 o Beautiful Layers in the Central Uplift of Mazamba Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033248_1520 This is only one of four impact craters known that possesses intact layers exposed in the central uplift. o Enigmatic Channels on the Floor of Mangala Valles http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033264_1640 This particular area, called Mangala Valles and located near the Tharsis region, is may be an example of the action of liquid water in the past. o Martian Thunderbird http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033297_1745 This non-circular pit is due to low angle impact from an asteroid or comet. o Spring Slide http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033433_2650 The North Polar region of Mars is capped with layers of water ice and dust, called the polar layered deposits. This permanent polar cap is covered in the winter with a layer of seasonal carbon dioxide ice. All of the HiRISE images are archived here: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is the prime contractor and built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona. Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Looking for Happy meteorite goodness
Hello All, Gao, Chergach, Pultusk, and other ordinary chondrites often have their impact melt portions ignored when being characterized. Chelyabinsk would be the most recent obvious example of this -- LL5 S4 W0 Except, when you read the petrographic description: ...A significant portion (1/3) of the stones consist of a dark, fine-grained impact melt containing mineral and chondrule fragments. Feldspar is well developed and practically isotropic. No high-pressure phases were found in the impact melt. There are black-colored thin shock veins in both light and dark lithologies. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=57165 We collectors see impact melt and think it's cool, but it's secondary information for the classification, I think.

Re: [meteorite-list] Looking for Happy meteorite goodness
Hi Jason and all! I think the description of the impact melt was sufficient for Chelyabinsk unless new information comes forward. However, with Happy, at least two of them are not fully classified, (b) and (c). All three Happy's are vague at best, unlike Chelyabinsk! It is one that could be revisited.
