Stuart, Barrett, List,
Let's get our physics straight.
The mechanisms being talked about here:
burning from entry and inertia... travel[ing]
into the earth are missing the point. These are
not causes, but rather effects.
All isolated, disconnected bodies have a certain
amount of energy in
Dear Mr. Sterling K. Webb,
Simple questions usually dictate a simple answer, which is what I gave, and
is essentially correct.
Unlike you, I wasn't nit-picking.
If you want to nit-pick, I can do that also.
There is no such thing as a perfect conversion when it comes to
energy/matter conversion,
Happy Easter to all Listers!

postings to the list for now on a decade and I have no idea who Barrett
is but he seems to have quite a thin skin for starters.Is that the same
person who gets in a wrinkle when the subject line doesn't change ;-)

Thanks guys for the answers but let's keep it peaceful here, I wasn't trying to

Sterling, I appreciate the detailed answer and that certainly explains alot. I
was only referring to Chixalub becasue it was on TV and it was big. We could be

In fairness to Sterling I think he did give a simple answer, and I think
you raise a few interesting notions.
I wouldn't get too upset at the nitpicking, it is the mechanism by which
we get closer to the truth, but I can understand how you feel aggrieved by
being pounced on for your simple
Hi Stewart, Sterling -
Chicxulub was the small impact. Another larger fragment of the comet hit at
Shiva about 500,000 years later. That was the impact that finally killed off
the dinosaurs.
Sterling, could you do a rough estimate of the energy of the Shiva Impact?
Megatons would be fine, or

Thanks for sharing the pictures, I look forward to the updates with

will find any moldavite?
Thanks Milan for showing your treasures, what a fantastic collection;

Theory, not fact. It's always useful to distinguish between the two,
especially on a list with wide readership!

Hi
Re: Find rate of Moldavites
Well we were taken to the best spot! Milan has GPS coordinates of probably
thousands of finds all plotted on Google Earth. An amazing database. Searching
on the field I personally found 2 smallish specimens in maybe a couple of
hours. Others found more. I guess

I'm confused, how did this get a different classification? I thought
that was Sonnys strewn field...

John, List,
Well, I was calculating for rock, not iron. Rock
melts more easily, of course. My source (John S.
Lewis, Physics and Chemistry of the Solar System)
says it takes about 1.2 x 10^10 ergs to melt one
gram of average rock. Since a joule is 10^7 ergs,
it would take 1200 joules to melt a

Hi all and count.Having held his new classified LL6 in my hands,and let me say
what a beauty,I want to congradulate you count on a job well done.It's just to
bad that the other half is not in your hands like it should be.Again way to go
on getting your find classified.
Steve R.Arnold, Chicago!
If this is a repost..I'n sorry.
I want to thank everyone on and off List for the many congratulations.

List,
Everyone, including Count Deiro is calling it Stump Springs. The bulletin
lists it as Stump Spring. Which is correct? I'm curious. Did it get reported
as Stump Springs and they dropped the s that made it plural by mistake, or is
Stump Spring the correct name?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Thomas and List,
I called it Stump Springs originally before I knew Sonny had reserved the name
Stump Spring and the first 82 numbers. Then I tried to get it named Old
Spanish Trail when I found out it was apparently a different meteorite

Maybe I can help clear up a few of your questions. I originally

confirmation from two different Institutes that indeed I had found a
