[meteorite-list] Confused about IMCA

[Elizabeth Warner]

If IMCA is supposed to be for collectors, how does being an IMCA member 
help with selling?? Shouldn't there be an IMSA then??


However, as I read through the IMCA website, it is more about 
selling/trading...


I collect only, but it doesn't look like I would be able to join since I 
don't sell which seems odd since IMCA in it's description says it is 
about COLLECTING...



I really have nothing against IMCA, but as a 'newbie' it is very 
confusing. I have been on this list since early 2010, I've bought some 
slices, etc from both IMCA and non-IMCA sellers (but mostly IMCA)...


Anyone should be able to join IMCA, but sellers/traders should then have 
the specially vetted badge showing that they follow the 
values/standards/ideals stated by IMCA.



Clear Skies!
Elizabeth

[meteorite-list] Confused

[Scott Liston]

 
Hi All,
Although quite new to the list, and to collecting, I'm picking up all
sorts of info. and tips on what is proving to be a fascinating hobby.
So, many thanks for all that. The trouble is, I'm not really interested
so much in who's smooching who, or who's clawing out who's eyes and why.
Personally I find the Ads as interesting as anything else a lot of the
time. There's often bits o info tucked away that I might miss otherwise,
although, I think it would be a shame and a wasted opportunity if the
list were to degenerate into a classified ads section.
Posts about laser pointers were very informative! Thanks.
Happy days to all.
 
Scott

[meteorite-list] 'confused' Sikhote-Alin?

[Martinh]

Hi Eric and All,
Your interesting S-A specimens you call 'Confused' is similar to one I 
highlighted in one of my Accretion Desk articles a while back.

The Taza specimen I nicknamed a Duck's Foot has a similar double 
orientation. I spoke to either Jim Tobin or Paul Harris about it back 
then, and one of them had the wonderful insight that the piece might 
have actually spun like a wheel with the 'tread' side down thus 
orienting the piece around the rim, but also rolling back on both of 
the larger sides.

Here is a link to my article:
http://www.meteoritetimes.com/Back_Links/2003/July/Accretion_Desk.htm
and Duck's foot is about 1/2 way down the page.
Since that time, I have seen a few more of these oriented wheels, but 
all were irons.

Cheers,
Martin

sides, molong
pallasite, as well as others.
