[meteorite-list] Thank you and Computer problems
Hello everybody, Sorry I have not thanked all of you who answered my question regarding the pieces of Banten I posted on the Picture of the Day (Thank you Paul), it did help and the origin of the pieces has been narrowed down to probably the Museum of Bandung in Indonesia. And the reason I did not respond sooner is that my computer had been invaded by a weird virus that did not damage any of my data but was apparently having fun moving things around, shutting down my computer on a random basis, or broadcasting a radio station in German! After a couple days in the Computer-Hospital, my computer is behaving, everything seems to be back to normal. Only one remaining problem: I cannot update my website, but that will be taken care of shortly. In the mean time please do email me if you have any questions. Again thanks. Anne M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Thank you and Computer problems
Hi Just noticed this. I was the primary source of Banten as it regards the material in circulation—probably responsible for 90% or more. I obtained Banten in an exchange with the Museum Geologi. i was subsequently involved in a handful of exchanges and sales of Banten and it was offered at a Macovich Auction in Tucson about13 years ago! (Egad). The Indonesian MG no longer participates in exchanges.

[meteorite-list] Thank you List and MetSocCom
If this is a repost..I'n sorry. I want to thank everyone on and off List for the many congratulations. A correction to the Bulletin. The Stump Springs main mass is held by myself and the Smithsonian. Sonny Clary donated the half that he acquired from me to the Institution last year. The number 83 is because 82 numbers were reserved by Sonny. How you do do this isn't quite clear to me. There are no other Stump Springs meteorites in the Bulletin. And, I'm informed this LL6 is unique to any meteorites Sonny has found in this location, and he has found quite a few, as did Jim Krieg and other hunters. Sonny told me those he located in his strewn field were H's. Greg Hupe found a different classification chondrite less than half a mile from my find a few months ago while accompanied by myself and Adam.. So, there are probably at least three different classifications that have fallen in this strewn field and close proximity. Stump Springs 83 is the largest intact chondrite found so far in Nevada. If you would like to see a photo of how I prepped and mounted it, the link is below. It's mounted upright as I first saw it. I used hot distilled water and a stainless brush followed by a soak in 98% alcohol and a bake in the oven. The way it's depicted hides the fact it was cut in half. It still shows some fusion crust even though it's terrestrial age is probably tens of thousands of years. http://s797.photobucket.com/albums/yy258/Aitmuseum/?action=view¤t=P8230085.jpg Best personal regards to all and I am very happy that my first find got recognized.

Hi Count and List, Congrats again to the Count and All involved for the discovery, classification and acceptance of Stump Spring 083. Congrats to All who have found meteorites at Stump Spring, Sonny has the numbers there! The Count mentioned one of my finds in that area, here are the Provisional entries for the two individuals I found in October. These are different from each other and were ~1.25 miles apart, one being ~1/2 mile from Guido's.

[meteorite-list] Thank you Laurence Garvie
Laurence, Just a quick note to let you and this wonderful meteorite community know that I received your package today. As busy as you are at ASU You went way out of your way to help me with these seven meteorite prospects. I was expecting a few notes on paper telling me I had nothing. Instead , what I got was a nicely detailed letter very well organized along with an actual print out of each PIXE screening. These reports spell out the mineralogy of each specimen including the Nickel content. I was very happy to see that three of the seven did have enough nickel to warrant further review. And the fact that you did all of this work in such a short period of time adds to the excitement. Laurence you went well above the call on this. I appreciate this more than you know.. You are truly one of the great scientists in this field.. Thank you again. This seems like a good time to recognize a few other scientists that have also gone out of their way in the past to personally help me. Jeff Grossman, Tony Irving, Ted Bunch, Alan Rubin , Randy Korotev, Marc Fries, Rhian Jones, Jim Karner, Dolores Hill, David Kring, Carlton Moore, John Wasson, Tim McCoy, Pierre Rochette. G. Jeffrey Taylor, David Mittlefehldt Robert Matson and Elton Jones. And too many others to mention that have helped me indirectly. And far too many Non-scientists to mention as well. So, thank you to everybody. So as you can see to be great you don't have to be a collector, dealer or hunter. Scientists are alright as well. Thanks again to all of you.

[meteorite-list] Thank you List.
Good Morning from Sin City, I have been collecting and recently hunting meteorites for just these past nine months. Nearly a dozen dealers on the LIST can attest that I caught the bug and quickly aquired first, the requisite, ubquitose, types and now the more definitive and rare examples as I refine my interest. I could not have obtained these specimens and the lab equipiment to enjoy them without the postings of the members of the List and their respective websites. The amount of knowledge one can aquire from perusing the professional photography and academic papers posted to the List and available on the dozens of links provided is frankly, incredible. I wish to publicly thank the List for welcoming this newbie. A special thanks to Sonny Clary who, by serendipty, lives within hailing distance of me and has generously guided my first steps into this remarkable field of interest. His finds, particularly in Nevada, are among the rariest extant. A quick Vielen Dank to Moritz Karl for the gorgeous Cape York. The Winonaite was beautifully prepared.

[meteorite-list] Thank You Scientists!
Hello Ed, You stated, Maybe what we need is more UFOs and fewer bolides, given all the NWA material on the market... All NWA material (and other material found elsewhere) are 'UFO's' until the scientists prove they are meteorites (or not). This seems like a perfect time to acknowledge the hard work and efforts the scientific community has done for those of us who primarily work with NWA material. Without this handful of dedicated scientists, many Saharan finds would never be recognized as meteorites and brought to the many public and private collections throughout the world. Their work has added valuable information that may not have been discovered with these hot desert finds.

[meteorite-list] Thank you!
Back in May I posted a request for 'giveaway' meteorites for a series of presentations I was giving to school students. I realised last night that in the rush to finish for the summer, writing about it for Meteorite magazine and the birth of our second child I never publicly thanked those that came to my aid. Two people in particular helped me out. Mark Crawford, a fellow British collector, who quickly sent me some NWA fragments and tektites, entirely at his own cost, which I have used as prizes in a competition following on from the presentations. Since the event only took place the week before we finished for the summer, I'll be giving those out next week when we return to school. Sonny Clary, who sent me 90(!) fragments of a 120lb chondrite he found in Nevada in 2007. Shipping alone was almost $50, and I cannot imagine the time invested in making a find like this, but Sonny never asked for a penny (US readers may substitute the word 'dime' for 'penny'). Truly amazing generosity, which allowed every single one of the students involved to take a piece of space-rock home on the day. If you haven't already seen it check out Geoff Notkin's article: http://tucsoncitizen.com/lizard/2009/08/24/ralph-sonny-clary-meteorite-hunter-and-philanthropist-makes-important-donation-to-british-school-kids/ And keep an eye out for the upcoming Meteorite magazine article!

You pick up a big rock and fit it into your Super Duper Steam Powered Slingshot, capable of firing a rock at 2380 meters per second, which oddly enough is the Moon's excape velocity. (Actually you could be a bit slower and still get to the Earth.) The rock leaves the Super Duper Steam Powered Slingshot at 2380 meters per second. After only one second of traveling upward against the Moon's gravity, the rock is only traveling at 2378.378 meters per second. That's because the Moon's gravity is pulling back down on the rock with a force sufficient to slow it down by 1.622 meters per second. The Moon's gravity will continue to slow the rock at the rate of 1.622 meters per second per second until, about 2 days later, the rock is just barely crawling along at a snail's pace thousands of miles above the Moon, when it reaches a place where the strong gravity of the faraway Earth is pulling foward on the rock just as strongly as the gravity of the much closer but weaker Moon is pulling back on it, and the rock starts to fall toward the Earth, now gaining speed instead of losing it. Three days or so later, your mild-mannered rock will come blazing into the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of almost 11,186 meters per second! Would the stones survive the trip through our atmosphere? Here's where aim counts: the right angle of approach or perhaps a grazing orbit or two before re-entry... Anything is possible if you have sufficiently accurate control of your path. It's do-able. If the projectile (moon rock) did survive all of this, would it be considered a meteorite? That would depend on how the argument on this List came out...

[meteorite-list] Thank you West Texas!
Hi All, We're back from West Texas now and after letting things slow down a bit and catching up on some much needed work I've finally got a moment to post some photos. I'd like to thank all you guys out there in meteorite land. My good friends, Mike Miller Ruben Garcia (finally got to meet you Ruben after talking on the phone for 2 years!) Without you guys' help this trip might not have been a success. A big hello and thank you also go out to our new friends Michael Cottingham and Christopher Cottingham for his first finds, congratulations to Christopher for his gorgeous 44 gram oriented West meteorite. It was a pleasure to be there to see it happen. And to Keith and Dana Jenkerson, we appreciate the advice! Jim Baxter, I didn't forget you... It was very good to meet you Jim! I certainly can't forget Mike Farmer, Robert Ward, Shauna Russell, Greg Hupe, and their crew for their generosity in sharing the information. It was good to meet all you guys finally. A big hello also to Steve Arnold Geoff Notkin. It was good to finally meet you Steve, I have a new found respect for you now. And to Geoff, glad to meet you again, this time in the field. Too bad we didn't get a chance to talk a bit. I also want to thank all the people of West Texas for their Texas sized hearts and their overwhelming generosity. If it weren't for your hospitality the scientists and hunters wouldn't have had the opportunity to collect as many specimens and the meteorites would be plowed over or rotted away never to be seen again. Not only did you help us collect meteorites, you helped further science and the knowledge of our universe! I thank you very much for your kindness, and the meteorite world thanks you, sincerely. As for Hopper, the meteorite finding dog... ;) Well all I can say is I have to chuckle a bit!. We got to spend two days with Hopper. No photos of the dog but I did somehow manage to get on the news in the Hopper segment New 8 Austin filmed. I'm only in the opening scenes but it was kind of exciting to see yourself on TV. Weird feeling really. Hopper liked everyone, well, everyone that might have food! She also loved to mess with the cows. My first experience with Hopper was startling. Literally! I was out in the middle of a field minding my own meteorite hunting business and all of a sudden out of the middle of nowhere as I was staring at the ground searching intently for the elusive West Texas meteorite this black furry creature runs up to me and I about jump out of my boots! You have to picture this, I'm concentrating so hard on the ground at finding a meteorite that I'm oblivious to my surroundings and out of nowhere a black hairy thing comes walking up within inches of my leg and I was staring into the eyes of the beast! ;) lol My heart leapt and I had to choke back a little noise. THAT was MY first experience with Hopper! Sweet dog really… Another little tidbit of info for all you guys that went Gaa Gaa over Hopper. Since we did get a chance to hunt for two days with Hopper running around and frolicking in the fields of West Texas, we got to see a side of Hopper most didn’t have the good fortune to witness. They certainly experienced it, even if it was unknowingly. Dogs will be dogs, and we all know dogs like stinky stuff. Really stinky stuff! And what do dogs do when they find stinky stuff? That’s right, they roll in it! Hopper came up to me and played and right off I noticed how nice a dog she was. She was so friendly she would walk up to anyone. I petted her and played a little with her in the field and went back to hunting. Then a couple hours later, I witnessed her rolling around on the ground about 20 feet or so away, and when I walked over to see what was going on, that’s when I noticed the nice big, ugly and very dead raccoon Hopper was rolling around in. Eew, Yuck! I promptly washed my hands. I tried to warn everyone I saw, but they were so caught up they didn’t care. You know the old saying “you don’t know where that’s been.” Well… This in no way detracts from her meteorite hunting prowess, or her awesome personality! Hopper is a great dog. I wish I had a meteorite hunting dog like her. She was super and deserves every steak she’s fed. She truly is a one of a kind dog. She does need a bath though. OK, OK… I know you guys are wanting to see some photos so here they are… I was fortunate enough to find one stone. It’s not much but it made the trip all that more rewarding, and 10, 20, or 50 years from now I can say Feb 25th 2009 I went, hunted, and found a piece of the West Texas meteorite fall. A witnessed fall, and my first chased meteorite fall expedition. PHOTOS: http://www.meteoritesusa.com/west-texas-meteorite.htm We hunted all over West, and had help from some of the best hunters in the business, but it comes down to being able to spot them on the ground, and there's no substitute for experience in the field.

Hello lists, thank you for the very wide discussion, which I could stimulate. It are the greenhorns, the newcomer who purchase the most metwrongs. But never an IMCA member should sell this shit. He should carry out the code of ethics. We all do mistakes but if someone do a mistake as an IMCA member selling unintended a metwrong to newcomers (and all other) he should iimmediately correct the deal if the customer can prove the assertion of wrongness. It is dishonorable to start an act of defensiveness and to bombard the new collector with allegations that he is not a professional person and has to stop talking. I did not know whether the IMCA has in the past suspended dishonorable member, but I think it is time to start. Otherwise this association will lost reputation.

Hello all, Thank you Matteo. Yesterday morning early when I first checked the eBay listings, I saw an Aubrite listed. After Planetaries and Texas specimens, Aubrites are my favorite, so I placed a bid. A bit later in the day, reviewing my finances and bills (income, property and school taxes) due in January, I realized that I was in trouble ... way too many bills and definitely too little money. I then asked Matteo to please cancel my bid. He courteously agreed and has done so. I truly appreciate it. Over the last 5 years (2002-2006) I've purchased over 100 different specimens from him with no problems and look forward to purchasing more as I can. Again, thank you Matteo.

Hello All, Thank you for your input about my new chondrite and it seems you all agree for the most part giving me a good idea of what I might have. There was a request for a photo of some with the crust intact so I have added a photo of a 470 gram and a 122 gram piece for you to look at. The larger was the first find...

Re: [meteorite-list] Thank you for your input!
Dear Bill, List; It may be worth noting again, be sure that you remember that the visible iron specks are only part of that equation as the total iron is the number for the L or H classification, and even though that WOULD APPEAR to be an L from a visual, if there is more elemental iron, it could be more than an L. Caution needs to be embraced with just visual classification Hope this is insightful to others, Dave F.

Dear list members, This is a good time to let every one of our past, current and future customers know we truly appreciate your business. With all of this talk about shipping costs and packaging, the main point is sharing meteorites with others and being able to use the funds we collect from sales to buy more material or find it through expeditions; to make new discoveries, whether they are in the lab or desert.

Dear List, I would like to thank those who took the time to respond to my questions regarding the effects of lightning on trees. After reading several off-List emails I concluded the damage to the trees was more than likely caused by lightning. This post may seem a little off topic but when trying to track down a fall I feel it is important to know what to look for in the field. I have found that there are a lot of things that cannot, at first, be explained but thanks to others who shared what they knew about lightning I will no longer pursue the broken trees as clues in our search. This forum has proven several times that sharing information is a key component in helping others including myself to better understand meteorites.

Re: [meteorite-list] Thank You - Was A fun Libyan Desert Glass Debate
Keith wrote: I perfectly agree with you that there is ***nothing** illegal about picking up or collecting natural, unmodified pieces of LDG. My discussion had nothing to do with the collection of natural pieces of LDG. The only mention of this was that collecting of any kind in the area containing LDG was prohibited because of looting of ***artifacts*** in the strewn field area. In that case, the people collecting only LDG, not artifacts, were victims of the pothunter / arrowhead collector types. I fully agree that people should be able to collect and take home natural and unmodified pieces of LDG. Keith, So why bring this up on a meteorite list? We're not hunting/trading/collecting/selling/studying archaeological artifacts... That's another group isn't it? my bread and butter geologic work involving finding sand, gravel, and road fill for companies; generating oil and gas prospects, which I can sell Some might consider those practices of yours as unethical or morally bankrupt... Though not me - just pointing out that it's easy to nitpick when it comes to moral behaviour. I tend to live and let live - if some poor Arab can sell some pieces of LDG for some barley and oil, that's fine by me... especially pieces that are here today and buried for thousands of years tomorrow. The same goes for mining oil, lead or what ever else people legally engage in to put bread on their table. There are more significant artifacts/sites worthy of study, so many in fact that it would probably take a thousand years to study them all (and by that time they'll be studying us). I don't see picking up flakes as immoral no matter how many academic eggheads say so. Scientists don't have moral leg to stand on if you look at their past behavior. Besides, I know numerous respected PhD's from research one universities who don't agree with most of the current politically correct rhetoric that infects many places of learning these days. I bet many of the respected archaeologists you speak of have looted artifacts in their collections, both private and institutional. Seems a bit hypocritical... prohibit the export of antiquities without permits. If a person doesn't have the paperwork, which documents that his Libyan desert glass artifact was exported legally, a case can be made that the artifact was exported in violation of either the laws of Egypt or Libya. Since legally exported artifact are suppose to be sold with documentation proving that they are legal, the lack of such, even if the result of negligence on the part of the person selling it to you failing to provide it, can be used to argue that the Libyan desert glass artifacts are illicit. It the owner that has to prove that an artifact was legally exported with a documented chain-of-custody going back to the person, who originally received the license to exported it. If a person doesn't have the paperwork and don't have this chain-of-custody, the person don't have the proof that artifact is legal and the country of origin, whether it be Egypt or Libya can reclaim it. I think this is wrong. The dealers who were successfully prosecuted in the US England (for looting in Egypt) weren't successfully prosecuted because they didn't have paperwork - pieces from old collections do not necessarily have documentation. What nailed the case was the fact that they found the detailed journal of the collector which revealed his activities. Most importantly they found some stone reliefs/carvings in his house that were hacked out of a monument. They were exact matches the reliefs that were recently stolen from that monument. In addition, I'm pretty sure that you face prosecution if you are in possession of items of $5,000 or more in value. Again, someone needs to do a detail study of the antiquity laws of Egypt, Morocco, and Libya in reference to LEG artifacts. It seems like people are being much too complacent about the legally of collecting, buying, and selling these artifacts. Regardless of whether a minority of LDG artifacts might be legal, the overall illict trade in these artifacts is contributing to the destruction of valuable archaeological sites. Again, I think the laws regarding the possession of LDG artifacts has no bearing on the meteorite list. I'll just have to agree to disagree whether the study of flake chippings contribute to the destruction of valuable archaeological sites. I don't know if I'm engaging in flaming here, but I get frustrated with these chicken little/holier that thou arguments. And I'm a bit fatigued after spending the night doing some stargazing and am probably rambling. :-) Respectfully, Mark Bowling __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Dean Keith, Perhaps the problem is the interpretation of the word, flake, as in picking up a flake of LDG...

It was a fun and spirited discussion about the legality of trading in / owning prehistoric artifacts composed of Libyan Desert Glass. Given that 1. it is quite obvious that between I and some people, a middle ground on this discussion doesn't exist; 2. some people find my arguments as unconvincing as I found their arguments, and 3. I and other people have expressed themselves enough for the lurkers to understand each other's position, this is a good time to agree to disagree about this topic and let the topic cool down. Although I disagree with them, I found your arguments quite interesting and I shall think them over, while I attend to other business. (It might be fun to write a paper about this topic for the Newsletter of the Delta Chapter of the Louisiana Archaeological Society or even give a talk on it at the Annual Meeting of the Louisiana Archaeological Society. It not much, but that is best that an amateur like me can expect to do.) I think it would be fun to discuss this topic in more detail in about 6 to 7 months, while I focus on my bread and butter geologic work involving finding sand, gravel, and road fill for companies; generating oil and gas prospects, which I can sell; and, in my spare time, research the topic of Egyptian artifacts composed of Libyan Desert Glass in more detail. An archaeologist friend has suggested that interested parties can have a rematch on a mailing list associated with the Ancient Near East ANE mailing list created specifically for this topic whenever people are ready for it this Fall. In that venue, some of the archaeologists on the ANE Mailing Lists can also participate and give us benefit of their expertise concerning the complex legal and ethical questions that entangled this discussion. It might even be possible to find some sort of middle ground or formulate guidelines for this controversy. Since this topic is more archaeology than meteorites, it will be on-topic and appropriate to discuss matter on such a mailing list. For interested people the archives of the ANE mailing list can be found at: https://listhost.uchicago.edu/pipermail/ane/ http://oi.uchicago.edu/OI/ANE/OI_ANE.html Finally, this discussion inspired my archaeologist lady friend to come up with a killer idea for a research proposal that the U.S. Customs Service and the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquites have expressed interest in providing joint funding for a period of 9 months.

EXPORTING ARTIFACTS FROM EGYPT IS ILLEGAL. NOBODY DISPUTED THAT 2.some people find my arguments as unconvincing ESPECIALLY SINEC YOU ARE MISQUOTING PROFESSIONAL ARCHAELOGISTS TO MAKE YOUR ARGUEMENTS Although I disagree with them, WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT YOU ARE BAISNG YOUR OPINION ON THAT PICKING UP UNALTERED LDG IS ILLEGAL? (It might be fun to write a paper about this topic for the Newsletter of the Delta Chapter of the Louisiana Archaeological Society or even give a talk on it at the Annual Meeting of the Louisiana Archaeological Society.

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING TOPIC AND THERE ARE DISCUSSION GROUPS FOR IT BUT SINCE THIS IS A METEORITE LIST THIS TOPIC IS NOT RELEVENT HERE An archaeologist friend has suggested that interested parties can have a rematch on a mailing list associated REMATCH ABOUT WHAT? NOBODY HAS ANY DISAGREEMENTS WITH YOUR ARCHAELOGISTS. YOUR ARCHAELOGISTS SAID THAT EXPORTING ARTIFACTS FROM EGYPT IS ILLEGAL - WITHER THE ARTIFACT IS MADE FROM SILVER, GOLD, SAND OR LDG. AND EVERYBODY HERE AGREES WITH HIM. Finally, this discussion inspired my archaeologist lady friend to come up with a killer idea for a research proposal that the U.S. Customs Service and the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquites have expressed interest in providing joint funding for a period of 9 months. Anyway, she thanks you-all for all of the always fascinating, entertaining, and novel arguments and the inspiration. NOW WE ARE IN AGREEMENT. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE RESEARCH INTO WHAT HAPPENS WITH ARTIFACTS, AND HOW COUNTRIES VIEWS THEIR CULTURAL LAWS, AND HOW THE LAWS LIKE UNESCO AND UNDROIT PROTECTS OR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISTRUCTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY. A SERIOUS EFFORT SHOULD BE DONE TO SEE HOW IT WORKS RATHER THAN THE CARTE BLAUNCH ATTIDUDE THAT CERTAIN COUNTRIES HAVE ABOUT EVERYTHING WITHER THEY EVEN WANT IT IN A MUSEUM OR WILL DESTROY IT BECAUSE IT IS SUCH LOW VALUE AND TO EXPENSIVE TO STORE. IN FACT I WISH THAT I COULD BECOME A PART OF SUCH A SERIOUS GOVERNMENT EFFORT. I HAVE A LOT OF OTHER DEALERS WHO WOULD GET INVOLVED TO WHO WANT TO MAINTAIN A BUSINESS WHILE RESPONSIBLY AQUIREING NEW ARTIFACTS. IF THERE WERE REASONABLE GUIDLINES DEALERS WOULD COOPERATE AS WILL AS PEOPLE WHO SEARCH FOR STUFF AND IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR EVERYBODY. IF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A SERIOUS STUDY WITH AN OPEN ATTITUDE YOU COULD WELL BE SOMEBODY WHO IS FOREVER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF MORE WORLD CULTURAL PROPERTY THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD. BRITAIN HAS A CULTURAL LAW TO BE PROUD OF. ANYTHING NEWLY FOUND HAS TO BE OFFERED TO THE MUSEUM COMMUNITY AT A PRICE DETERMINED AS FAIR MARKET VALUE BY A GROUP OF DEALERS.

dean bessey pounded out with his key caps stuck as if he drunk an entire pot of Lousiana Community Coffee in 2 minutes: ..ranting deleted... WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT YOU ARE BAISNG YOUR OPINION ON THAT PICKING UP UNALTERED LDG IS ILLEGAL In this case, you are the person very confused about my arguments. I perfectly agree with you that there is ***nothing** illegal about picking up or collecting natural, unmodified pieces of LDG. My discussion had nothing to do with the collection of natural pieces of LDG. The only mention of this was that collecting of any kind in the area containing LDG was prohibited because of looting of ***artifacts*** in the strewn field area. In that case, the people collecting only LDG, not artifacts, were victims of the pothunter / arrowhead collector types. I fully agree that people should be able to collect and take home natural and unmodified pieces of LDG. ..ranting deleted... NO IT DOES. EXPORTING ARTIFACTS FROM EGYPT IS ILLEGAL. NOBODY DISPUTED THAT ..ranting deleted... If you would read the various posts, you would find the discussion was concerned only ***artifacts** manufactured from LDG. In fact, many people greatly disputed to what degree, if at all, whether it was either illegal, legal enforceable., unenforceable, moral, immoral, ethical, or unethical to collect **artifacts** manufactured from LDG and export them from Egypt and under what circumstances. Dean you really need to read what you are commenting on and unlock the caps key before composing a post. Also, even if I disagreed with you, which I don't, it would help your arguments, if you used standard punctuation and wrote in logical sentences instead of just shouting what nasty, evil you-know what I am.

Keith, Keith, if you think this was fun I suggest you go bother some other list. This list is for serious discussion, considered arguments and good natured humor. Your contributions on this topic were none of these. Do it again? More of the same? Forget it! For those who want to read the UNIDRIOT document on stolen cultural property, which is one of many statements on the subject, follow these links: Here is the Website for the UNIDROIT document, which includes a definition of cultural property: http://www.unidroit.org/english/conventions/c-cult.htm And here is a critique of the UNIDROIT document: http://www.city.ac.uk/artspol/schneider.html I'm still waiting to see your list of significant LDG artifacts aside from the scarab. And waiting to see your bibliography of archaeological studies of LDG artifacts. I'm out of town until July...

Hello and nice to be back, Firstly I want to thank all of you who gave me sensible possibilities for those mysterious possible meteorites. I have yet to go thru all of the mail to note down what the consensus was, but one thing I did note was that no one said they were not meteoritic - which says a lot about your collective observational skills (how many times has Mo Yousef sent in pics only to dismissed very rapidly!) So, thanks for that! I shall be passing this info onto the very kind donator of these rocks as they are not represented in my collection! Secondly, just done another hospital bout getting my colon de-tumourised (sorry if too much info...) and guess what, heart problems now. 44 years old and fit to be dried, stuffed and sat in a museum somewhere as a representative of the runt of a litter. damn. I would swear harder but there may be young 'uns reading. Everytime I go into hospital I seem to come out sicker than before. So, if I have now responded to your mails in a timely fashion, well, that's why... lovingly yours, dave IMCA #0092 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/entropydave/Keeper2/images/ __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

I want to give a round of praise to jason phillips for giving me an enjoyal day. Jason is the owner of rocks from heaven.com. He has an outstanding meteorite collection. Well over 600 meteorites! Mine pales compares to his. I drove downstate to visit him today. I'll tell you, It was worth the 200 mile drive to see him and his collection. I did achive my goal. I was able to trade for the VEEVERS iron main mass. All 37 grams worth. Another score for me for my collection. I was able to pick up 1 gram of LONE TREE meteorite from Iowa, and a couple others. We were both happy of this trade. For three hours we talked, traded ,and just had a great time discussing what really drives our passion for this great hobby. Again thanks to jason and his lovely wife for inviting me into thier home to have a very nice visit. Also if want you to buy meteorites from jason, he has alot to chose from. It is all choice items, that you will not go wrong with.Again thanks jason for a day I'll soon not forget. I just hated the long drive, but it was worth it. steve arnold, chicago!Steve r.

[meteorite-list] Thank you Rob Elliot!!
Dear listmembers, If you're like me, you enjoy checking out Rob Elliot's website at http://fernlea.tripod.com/forsale.html Rob has one of the largest on-line inventories of meteorites and he updates it frequently. Well, about a year ago, I had my eye on a pretty NWA chondrite, then unclassified, which Rob listed on his site. It had the provisional name NWA 832. That name is now official and it's a killer, fresh L4 Regolith Breccia. Before the classification was complete, I ordered a small slice. Alas, it never arrived. Lost in shipping I guess. Rob extended me credit for the loss and told me he would let me know when he cut more small slices. Well, by God, talk about happy endings!! Rob contacted me last week to tell me he didn't have the heart to cut any more small slices because this beauty would loose too much of its' character if he did. Instead, he let me know he would be sending me a full slice with his complements! Arriving today via DHL was a gorgeous 146.7g slice of NWA 832. You can see it and other slices of this killer regolith breccia on his webpage. Rob, this is one of the kindest and most generous things anyone has ever done for me! I can never repay you. Thanks so much! You are Numero Uno on my hit parade! Best wishes to all, Charlie __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
