[meteorite-list] AD-New rare pallasite
Aloha Meteorite afficianadoes, The Big Kahuna has acquired some of the rarest pallasite meteorites known, in a recent acquisition. In November, 2007, Brahim Oubadi from Bouanane, Morocco, was searching for meteorites on the Oued Bourdim wadi. He found many small pieces of a heavy rock (for its size) that looked different from the surrounding materials. Over the next few years, Mr. Oubadi found approximately 400 g. He sold the stones to a meteorite dealer in Boudnib, and they were subsequently sold at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show where they were nicknamed Boudnib. Physical characteristics: Many small stones totaling 393 g. The largest are 48.9 g and 68.9 g, whereas the majority are 10 g. Exterior of the stones is dark colored and the olivines are sand blasted with a waxy luster. Fusion crust largely absent, though there are a few remaining patches on the metal. Medium to low weathering. Petrography: (L. Garvie, ASU). A 3 × 2 cm sawn surface of the 48.9 g stone shows 30 areal% metal. Olivine grains highly fractured, rounded and 1 cm across. Swathing kamacite to 1 mm thick and discontinuous. There are a few areas of swathing schreibersite to 0.5 mm thick. Ropey schreibersite also present within the swathing kamacite. Troilite rare, occurring as spheres to 1 mm in the olivine. The bulk of the metal has a martensite decomposition structure (Novotny et al., 1982), composed of Widmanstätten alpha platelets (typically 100 μm long) in fine plessite matrix; schreibersite 10 to 50 μm is common. The platelets are surrounded by taenite rims. Two chromite grains present. Excluding the 48.9 g stone, six additional stones were sectioned, polished, and etched - all showed metal with the martensite decomposition structure. Terrestrial Fe oxides locally replacing swathing kamacite and troilite. Montana Meteorite Laboratory cut and polished a 79g fragment into an assortment of slices and one endcut. All specimens are stunningly beautiful and would certainly make a great addition to any collection. The fact that this meteorite is a new member, and one of only five known of the Eagle Station pallasite grouplet makes it very rare and desirable. The unique etch pattern makes them visually striking as well. Limited supply, first come-first served, and about half of the material can be seen on this webpage: http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/OuedBourdim.html Mahalo for looking and have a great day/evening!

[meteorite-list] Son of Man
The following text is from Dr. Alan Rubin we're still trying to work out a html-to-text conversion problem hope this makes it to the Met-List. (You can charge me for this AD; I still have one more to my credit;-) Bob V. ***+___ It may offend some, but my new novel is available for purchase on Amazon and on Kindle. It is called: Son of Man: A Personal Memoir by Yehoshuah ben Yahweh, Translated and Edited by Arthur Melton and Monica Wheatley Here is the description: The jury is still out -- this memoir, hidden in an Egyptian cave for 2000 years, could be a literary forgery. It purports to be the only extant piece of writing penned by Jesus Christ. Most of the traditional Gospel stories and parables are here, but in nearly every case, the implied lessons differ dramatically from those in the New Testament. The author shows himself to be a charismatic, often ruthless, Jewish nationalist intent on expelling the Romans from Judaea. Jesus befriends the illusionist Simon Magus, who shows him how to stage healings. He recruits the apostle Paul as a double agent and crosses rhetorical swords with Alexandrian and Roman philosophers. He performs astounding deeds: he appears to walk on water and seems to raise Lazarus from the dead. His militia launches guerrilla attacks against Roman caravans while his disciples dispatch perfidious tax collectors. All this in preparation for a daring Passover rebellion. This is a bold story of religious fundamentalism, cynical manipulation and political violence, all written with a touch of humor. Everyone should buy a copy or two. They make great post-Easter gifts.
