Hey Guys,
I got this lead last week:
Mike, I was reading the Lancaster paper tonight and saw about the
meteorite-I think this clears something up for me- I am in New
Holland, Pa on the early morning of July 6th, I couldnt sleep and was
watching tv- all the sudden I heard a huge bang right outside
PS - Darren has been kind enough to send some great resources along off
list. I can't recall where the notion of separate parent bodies denoted by
alteration first hit my screen, but I'm rather certain it was here on the
list. Having previously assumed three parent bodies (H, L, and amphoterite)

Freeze dried water?
Okay, mostly water. In an ugly bag.

Hello Pete,
I'm not as well-versed in the science of such things as many on the
list, but I would point out that there are many multi-kg specimens of
Brenham that are composed entirely of iron. Other good examples of
similar features occurring in meteorites including, but not limited
to, Seymchan,
All,
Pete's question re: pallasites reminds me of one I've been meaning to throw
out to the group for a while. I believe that, by definition, L6's come from
one parent body and L5's, say, come from another. It's clear why breccias
might simply be an association of the two. But I've seen cross se
Dear List Members,
Another week, and another set of 'Steal-of-A-Deal' auctions ending tomorrow
(Wednesday, September 9th). A slow start to bidding means great deals for
those who are willing to check 'em out!
Aside from the above mentioned deals, I also have listed the last four

It is a statistical certainty that Apollo era urine is still in lunar and
Terran orbit Perhaps it has been freeze dried. Would make an interesting
micrometeorite.

Hello list,
I have a question.
I have a piece of Brenham, Ks. It has very slim metal dividers that seperate
the Olivine crystal pockets.
There are other Pallasites that have much thicker metal dividers with
smaller
Olivine pockets.
The questionwould the former be formed further from the core
Hi all -
Theoretical physics question of the day:
Years ago I read of a stable Earth-Moon orbital path. Now the Earth outgasses,
so some of this would appear to go into this orbital path. Could water accrete
there in that path, and then return to Earth, or would the vacuum just tear any
accre

mineral Plessite is an intermediate mixture of both taenite and kamacite. It
may be the bulk mineral in iron meteorites. I need to find it it is also the
composition of the iron flecks in common chondrites of does t
I see that a new mineral came and went last decade and I don't recall a

1995! It was found in Vaca Muerta. Fe3Ni. I also see that the IMA rejected it
as a new mineral. Passed along for your perusal from the wikipedia
I guess once again as with CCDs my education is outdated. I see that any metal
compound or mixture can be called an alloy. OR it has come into such common use
the distinction between mixture and compound is obsolete when talking about
metals.

Predictions have been made of such doomsday scenarios. There's a good one in
the book Gaia by Lovelock that begins with some genetic engineering experiment
going wrong and it ends up stopping photosynthesis.
The predictions are that eventually the Earth would end up with an atmosphere

Nice photo, but Al-Hagg is an EL3 enstatite chondrite, not an aubrite. :)

Hello Bob and list,
I'm not sure if there is any active debate but I believe there are
still issues. A good summary of the problems with this material and
pairings is documented here:

Dear List Members,
Several excellent auctions are due to end this afternoon. Thousands of
dollars worth of material was loaded and started at just 99 cents. Be sure to
take a look as I cannot afford to give away meteorites much longer as most of
these have been selling below my costs lately.
Hi Mike and all,
That was a fun picture today but one question -- I thought the El
Haggounia "aubrite" was classified as an EL3. Is there still debate on
this material?
Thanks,
Bob

I have a question about chrome.
What is the highest percentage of chrome found in iron meteorites? Thanks Carl

Happy Labor Day Everyone,
I've heard some people talk about how sometimes meteors can be big

How common is this? Specifically what are the chances that the PA

really suck.

Are there any sources for gem quality periodots fron pallasite meteorites?
with cut and pollished stones up to 5 carats? it would require cutting thick
slabs of pallasites rather than the thin slices currently available, then using
the larger clear pieces to be cut into ring quality gems.
