Hi All. Here are a couple small goodies that I picked up at the Denver show for my collection. As you all know larger Sikhote-alin are coming out few and far between now. These two are certainly not large (except in ebay description terms!!!). Anyway, the first one looks like it

Hi All Here are some items that I purchased at the Denver Gem Mineral Show last week. I have added several whole Millbillillies and a few choice Wilunas. Due to the success of the last Sikhote Alin offering I updated that page and added some more to it. I also found a cool key chain scale that

Hi Sterling - With Chiemgau under challenge, the only evidence of heavy elements in comets that I can easily point to is the increased iridium at the KT boundary. I can't really comment on metals in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, and right now I would be most interested in data from others

[meteorite-list] COMETS AND CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITES

2006-09-21 Thread Sterling K. Webb
Hi, E.P., The truth is we really don't know what comets and asteroids actually are, or whether there's a real distinction between them, or if they are just keywords derived (mistakenly) from the two extremes of a continuous spectrum of bodies with every intermediate state fully represented.

Hi Sterling: Not a bad summary. However, do not know where you got the heated above 50 absolute. Much too low. Just being in an orbit that takes them near the Earth would warm them up to 100 c or so. Some clearly have not been heated much above that, but at the same time, since they contain

Hi Stirling, list, Thanks much for your excellent carbonaceous summary, Stirling. I lost all the subclasses in my stroke, and your note contains exactly what I needed to recall. (Of course, a hands on reacquaintance with all the types will be even better, and I hope to make one soon.) Again

Hi, Larry, List, E.P. Just another brain-slip; should read 50 degrees C! Hydration commences as nebular temperatures drop below 120 degree C. Yeah, that's a warm and cuddly 50 C, not 50 K. Brr... At low pressures that's steam, not water, down to 160-165 K. after which it's ice. Like Mars, no

Hi Ed, Of course, SW3 is likely to provide us with some samples, certainly by 2022. Perhaps I'm reading too much into your posts, but several times in recent weeks you've mentioned the 2022 encounter with the 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann cometary debris stream as if it will be a certain,
