[meteorite-list] Potential Ureilite

2014-05-06 Thread William Feek
Hi All, I have a 186g whole NWAX stone, thus it's unclassified, which I purchased solely because it looked like a Ureilite. The first thing I did was drop it in a jar of nitric to clean it up a bit, just kidding, actually the first thing was to see if it scratched a microscope slide, which it

2014-05-06 Thread Matson, Rob D.
Hi William, First question: are you sure it's a meteorite? Very few meteorites scratch glass, and those that do do so only weakly. Quartz, in contrast, will really dig in to glass. I haven't tried it with a ureilite, but (as you surmise) the polycrystalline nanodiamond content might be high

Nice clear pictures of a polished face will go a long way to help determine (not conclusively) that you have an ureilite. Mendy -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of William Feek Sent:

[meteorite-list] Definitions of types of falls and finds

I've been thinking about the email Jeff sent out some time back and wanted to propose a slightly different set of names and simplify the nomenclature. You can see Jeff's original email below. I think we have all struggled with defining meteorites that are neither observed falls nor finds and part

Mendy, All due respect to you and Jeff Grossman (one of our Royalty figures) but, to me a fall is either observed or there is great evidence like damage caused by the impact. All else is a find. Because after all, all finds are falls or how else would they be here? Best Rgards, Carl

Thanks folks for all the advice, suggestions, and opinions, I get the overall idea and I'll not give so much weight to my simple little test. By the way, the reference to nitric was a joke, seriously it was just a joke, I'd never use nitric, sulphuric however is a different story. To address

I have a very deep scratch on my windshield from a piece of dry lake mud that got dragged by my windshield wiper. I'm not sure what correlation you can make between something scratching glass and its identification. I'm pretty certain the dry lake mud was not from a urelite. Michael in so. Cal.
