Re: [meteorite-list] Article: Discovery of probably Tunguska meteorites at the bottom of Khushmo river's shoal

Dear List,

The claim of physical recovery is getting wide attention
with astronomical websites and (probably will in) publications.
Zlobin collected the stones in 1988, but never bothered
to look at them until now...

Dr. Zlobin's earlier paper on Tunguska states he is an
Expert to Federal Agency of Physical Training and Sport,
Moscow. That paper (undated) can be found at:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=trct=jq=esrc=ssource=webcd=1cad=rjasqi=2ved=0CDAQFjAAurl=http%3A%2F%2Fciteseerx.ist.psu.edu%2Fviewdoc%2Fdownload%3Fdoi%3D10.1.1.104.2490%26rep%3Drep1%26type%3Dpdfei=qEiDUci1DY3C4AOgz4DIBAusg=AFQjCNH5vjYxI7Tq1M-okA42HsMY-zLXDQsig2=vetSHOQ-JlPNpf99gFJC-gbvm=bv.45960087,d.eWU
It is... creative. It's a comet theory.

Here's his resume (in English):

There is a YouTube of him singing and playing the guitar
when he was a studen:

Aloha Everyone,

A newly published (4/29/13) article on Tunguska in PDF format is 
available for free download from the Cornell University Library.  I 
can't say I agree with calling it the discovery of meteorites--I 
think impact glass would be a better description, but it's an 
interesting read nonetheless.  Shatter cones are also discussed.


The link below will take you to a Cornell University Library page with 
a one paragraph abstract of the article.  To download the entire 
paper, click the download PDF Only link on the upper right of the 
web page.

Aloha,

Matthew

 The following is a copy and paste from the above paper:
 Acknowledgments:
 I very thankful to administration and my colleagues
 in Vernadsky State Geological Museum (RAS) on possibility to work with 
 information concerning L.A.Kulik’s
 activity and to analyze meteorites of the Museum.

 And then the audience arose from their seats and delivered a thunderous 
 applause...

 Can I sit-down now?
 Bob V.

One can now solve a good chunk of Russia's energy problems, by creating a rotor 
cage around Dr. Kulik's rapidly spinning corpse.  Talk about riding on 
coat-tails!

Best!

Discovery of probably Tunguska meteorites at the 
bottom of Khushmo river's shoal (by) Andrei E. Zlobin
Vernadsky State Geological Museum, Russian Academy 
of Sciences, Mokhovaya 11/11, 125009, Moscow, 
Russian Federation

I am stunned.  
From the Vernadsky State Geological Museum, 
Russian Academy of Sciences!!
The shatter-cones appear to be aragonite crystals.
The samples are all m-wrongs.  
This paper would never pass the peer-review of Club-Space-Rock, 
how did it get past the Cornell University Library? 
http://arxiv.org/help/endorsement
How did this ever get published?

If a person looks at the endorsemen web page at  
http://arxiv.org/help/endorsement , it specifically
states: 

The endorsement process is not peer review. 

Thus, the articles posted to arXiv are not peer-reviewed. 

Over the years, I have noticed that the arXiv endorsement 
system, although it allows publication of articles at a much 
lower cost than conventional peer-reviewed journals, also 
allows some rather questionable material to at times to be
published on arXiv. This material includes catastrophist 
pseudoscience such as Tails of a Recent Comet by Milton 
Zysman and Frank Wallace at http://arxiv.org/abs/1004.0416
and long discredited and scientifically illiterate nonsense 
about a pole shift causing the end of the last glacial as in 
On the change of latitude of Arctic East Siberia at the end 
of the Pleistocene by W. Woelfli and W. Baltensperger  at 
http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.2489?context=physics.geo-ph

A person has to take a critical look at what appears on 
arxiv.org and not accept it at face value. It appears the 
arXiv Blog simply repeats what the article is about 
without making a critical examination of the article's 
content. It is largely an Internet version of a press 
release and should be viewed with the same skepticism  
and critical eye as any press release.

Comments about another arXiv reprint can be found 
in Meteorite crater found on mount Ararat? at:

http://www.mail-archive.com/meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com/msg94574.html

The article is:

Yours,
