[meteorite-list] Tatahouine and Slickensides
Greetings List, Slickensides has been a topic brought up many times on the list. I'm still not exactly clear on what this is and I'd like to get a clarification. I recently acquired a small fragment of Tatahouine from Anne Black at Impactika. Besides having some fusion crust the specimen shows striations very similar to those seen in shattercones. (Thanks Anne for a beautiful and interesting specimen) Is this slickensides? I've included links to five images; No magnification - http://www.geocities.com/stelor96/Tatahouine028.jpg 10X Magnification - http://www.geocities.com/stelor96/Tatahouine045.jpg Another view at 10X - http://www.geocities.com/stelor96/Tatahouine044.jpg Another at 10X - http://www.geocities.com/stelor96/Tatahouine005.jpg Finally one at 20X - http://www.geocities.com/stelor96/Tatahouine020.jpg The striations are very similar to those I've seen in Shattercones, but never in a meteorite. There is a radial pattern and if the specimen were larger I believe the lines would converge at some point. There are also areas of the specimen (on the same side) where the lines appear at different angles to each other. So, my question is, is this slickensides or if not, can someone out there tell me what this is.

[meteorite-list] Verneshots The Cause of the Dinosaurs' Demise?
FOUR DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD New Scientist May 8, 2004 Just when you thought the dust had settled on the cause of the demise of the dinosaurs, there's a new type of catastrophe kicking it up again. Forget meteorites and mega-volcanoes, Verneshots are the real culprits, says Kate Ravilious. The Earth exploded under their feet. Noxious gases spouted into the atmosphere and quickly circulated around the globe. The ground shook with the force of a hundred massive earthquakes, and 20 gigatonnes of the Earth's crust and mantle were blasted into the sky before raining back down onto the surface. It was a terrible day for the dinosaurs. They never recovered. Is this, at last, a true description of what happened 66 million years ago? The argument over what killed the dinosaurs has raged for 25 years, and has polarised into two opposing camps: a meteorite impact, or a prolonged bout of mega-volcanism called a continental flood basalt. But now a team from Geomar, an earth sciences institute at Kiel University in Germany, has come up with a completely new type of geological catastrophe to explain the death of the dinosaurs, as well as three previous mass extinctions. If they are right the culprit was neither a meteorite nor a flood basalt, but a colossal underground explosion called a Verneshot. As yet the idea is in its infancy (Earth and Planetary Science Letters, VO1217, p 263). But the Verneshot hypothesis has one big advantage over its rivals. It explains a mystery that haunts the debate over mass extinctions: why the extinctions always seem to coincide with both continental flood basalts and meteorite impacts when the odds of these happening simultaneously are vanishingly slim. In the past 400 million years there have been four major mass extinctions. Between 380 and 364 million years ago the Frasnian-Fammenian extinction pulses wiped out 60 per cent of marine life. That was followed by the biggest extinction of all, when 96 per cent of the world's species disappeared at the end of the Permian, 251 million years ago. There was another huge die-off at the end of the Triassic 201 million years ago. And finally, 66 million years ago, the dinosaurs and numerous other groups met their end at the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary. Each of these events is associated with both a meteorite impact and a continental flood basalt. Yet even one such double whammy is highly unlikely: could it really have happened four times? Meteorite impacts large enough to trigger a mass extinction are believed to occur less than once every 100 million years. Continental flood basalts, meanwhile, happen roughly once every 30 to 50 million years and last for about a million years. Doing a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation reveals that the odds of a meteorite impact occurring at the same time as a continental flood basalt within the last 400 million years is around 1 in 8, says Jason Phipps Morgan, who led the Geomar team. Unlikely, but perhaps within the realm of terrestrial bad luck. But the probability of four of these coincidences happening within the last 400 million years is 1 in 3500. As the evidence for this coincidence mounted, so too has the need for a way of explaining how it came about. And so Phipps Morgan and two of his Geomar colleagues, Tim Reston and Cesar Ranero, set out to find one. The result is the Verneshot hypothesis - and the beginning of a new and acrimonious battle in the war over mass extinctions. The first idea the Geomar team considered was whether impacts could somehow cause continental flood basalts. This has been proposed several times, most recently in 2002 when Adrian Jones of University College London suggested that a large impact could pierce the Earth's crust and initiate a mammoth outpouring of lava (New Scientist, 14 December 2002, p 16). But Phipps Morgan's team dismissed this idea, concluding that it was physically impossible for a meteorite to cause the sustained melting associated with flood basalt. What is more, the geology of the K-T boundary does not support the idea that an impact triggered the flood basalts. The crater at Chicxulub is on the opposite side of the world to its contemporaneous flood basalt, the Deccan Traps in India, and geochemical dating suggests the volcanism began long before the meteorite hit. So the Geomar scientists decided to turn the argument on its head. Perhaps the continental flood basalts somehow created the distinctive signatures of a meteorite impact. If this could happen then the impacts could be dismissed as spurious. This is not a new line of thought: geologists have been following it since the early 1960S. But until now no one had come up with a convincing mechanism to explain how flood basalts could mimic all the geological signs of an impact, the most obvious and rarest of which is a crater. Other important signatures include shocked quartz crystals criss-crossed with tiny fractures,
[meteorite-list] New Chesapeake Bay Crater Sample to Look For Saltwater and Source of Impact
http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=70039ran=120831 New crater sample to look for saltwater and source of impact By DIANE TENNANT The Virginian-Pilot May 7, 2004 The deepest hole yet drilled into the Chesapeake Bay impact crater will be started Saturday, as scientists begin searching for salty water and even, perhaps, some remnants of the asteroid or meteor that crashed there 35 million years ago. A 2,900-foot hole will be drilled by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Sustainable Technology Park just south of Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore. Work is expected to last until the end of May. The hole will be used primarily as a well for sampling water, but some rock cores and cuttings will also be retrieved. Most of the other holes drilled into the crater have been for core samples. The crater, which is entirely underground, is about 56 miles across and 1.2 miles deep, centered on Cape Charles. It was formed by an extraterrestrial object - a meteor, an asteroid or a comet - that slammed into the Earth at a speed of about 76,000 mph. The eastern part of Virginia was under water then, and the object landed in a shallow sea, creating tsunamis that could have topped the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our previous drilling has been in the outer part of the crater, said Greg Gohn, of the USGS. Now we're going to be drilling in the central crater where all the material was either vaporized or melted or ejected, and some slumped back in to fill the hole. Scientists expect to find salty water in the well, but they don't know how salty. At nearby Kiptopeke, a shallower well produces water that is saltier than the sea, indicating that it hasn't moved or been replenished for millions of years. This will help address whether that brine is more widespread than just at Kiptopeke, said Ward Sanford, a USGS hydrogeologist. Regional water managers are interested in where underground aquifers are located and how fast they are replenished. Wells drilled in aquifers that don't refill quickly could run dry. Sanford said that scientists will analyze water and rocks for helium, which forms from the decay of uranium. High amounts of helium-4 indicate that water has remained in the same place for a long time, and the amount of helium-3, which is found in certain types of asteroids, could help determine what exactly formed the crater, he said. We might get lucky and find some impact melt, he said. They could find traces that suggest part of the original impactor was melted and mixed in. It could be that it all vaporized. The hole will also lay some groundwork for a proposed international project. The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program is considering a request to fund a 7,000-foot hole drilled into the center of the crater. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Real 'Stardust' Found on Earth
http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/377/12683_stardust.html Real stardust found on Earth Pravda May 4, 2004 Japanese scientists discovered particles of stardust right here on earth. Apparently, they have been formed long before the actual formation of the Solar system. It is contained in two relatively small meteorites, found in the deserts of Morocco and Algeria. Results of experiments have already been published in Tokyo. The tests were conducted by means of the latest high-tech microscope by a team of researchers from the capitals Industrial University and several other institutes. Stardust represents mineral particles scattered in space, formed primarily from atoms of dying stars. Such cosmic grains served as the main raw material in the formation of the planet earth as well as other planets. While conducting various experiments, scientists also plan to shed the light on the origin of the Solar system and other galaxies. What Japanese scientists discovered in the African meteorites were 7 grains (ranging from 0,1 to 1 micrometer in size) which, supposedly, had separated from two different stars before the formation of the Solar system. They estimated to be 4,6 billion years old. Judging by the chemical makeup of the particles, they belong to silicates-main counterparts of 80% of minerals on the planet.
