Since the discussion is on State Rocks... Here's mine. Not exactly meteorite related but Astronauts are mentioned. North Carolina designated granite (the noble rock) as the official state rock in 1979. High quality North Carolina granite is used as a building material for both industrial and

Hmm... only 27 items here in Utah. And one of those is an impact crater. I suspect there are a lot more finds out there, waiting to be found. Especially here in the south... and in the west desert. Wish I could still hike. Linton -Original Message- From: Shawn Alan via Meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

I know of several dozen Nevada meteorites that have not been reported even though a few were found on private property. It seems that most are not willing to report their finds these days especially since the BLM is trying to overregulate meteorites and public lands. Remember, nothing found

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

True, there are more Lone Star meteorites total than any other state, but we were ranking by density of meteorites, and Texas' meteorite density is a paltry 0.00113 per square mile. Carl * Carl B. Agee Director and Curator, Institute of Meteoritics Professor,

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

Aloha metlist denizens, There are only two Hawaii meteorites. 1825 Honolulu and 1949 Palolo Valley. Meteorite hunting in Hawaii, particularly the Big Island can be an exercise in frustration because you are looking for little black rocks on an island made up of … big black rocks. lol I think

[meteorite-list] Is it just me, or does this Australian meteorite look like NWA?

While poking around the Met Bulletin database, I ran across the Pigick H5 meteorite. The only two photos of Pigick in the database strongly resemble a NWA stone. The desert varnish appears to resemble typical NWA varnish and there are some captive sand grains in the weathering cracks - also

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

I'm just probably a meanie, but I think this effort is misguided though certainly better than making the state rock limestone. The children calculated that somehow, Kansas has more meteorites per square mile (not sure if finds, falls, or hits) than anywhere else in the US (if finds then sorry

Re: [meteorite-list] Is it just me, or does this Australian meteorite look like NWA?

Mike, based the year found and when first classified, I highly doubt that it is an NWA. It may have been transported within Australia though. Best, Mendy Ouzillou On Jan 28, 2015, at 5:14 PM, Galactic Stone Ironworks via Meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com wrote: While

Re: [meteorite-list] Is it just me, or does this Australian meteorite look like NWA?

I have to agree - I overlooked the obvious date, which is a few years too early for NWA. Still, this is an example of a stone not looking like what one would expect. Best regards, MikeG On 1/28/15, Gmail mendy.ouzil...@gmail.com wrote: Mike, based the year found and when first classified, I

Hello Listers I agree Brenham is be the best suited state meteorite Michael. If NY was doing this, it would have to be Peekskill to be the state rock. Mendy I think the teacher was going off the info from Meteoritical Bulletin Database Here are the results I gathered from there. 116 records

[meteorite-list] Nevada and Images of New Custom Special Operation Vehicles

All this talk of state rocks got me thinking, Nevada should change its official mineral from silver to gold since it is the top producer of U.S. gold by far accounting for well over 80%. Alaska is in a distant second place with around 9%. Searchers have barely scratched the surface when it

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

I count 225 New Mexico meteorites in the MetBull. That is 0.00185 meteorites per square mile. If Kansas has 143 meteorites, then that is 0.00174 meteorites per square mile. I think that puts the Land of Enchantment as the #1 meteorite state :) :) * Carl B.
