Hello all, On a more serious note, you can put your specimen in a membrane box and the use an adhesive or putty under the box and have no problems at all. Cheers, Frank - Original Message From: Erik Fisler erikfw...@msn.com To: meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com

Re: [meteorite-list] THE OLDEST METEORITE ?

Hi Shawn, Are you asking what the oldest meteorite is or the oldest component in a meteorite?  There are metamorphosed sedimentary rocks on Earth that are a billion years old but contain zircons that are dated as a couple of billion years older than that.  So if you're asking about the oldest

Re: [meteorite-list] Copper found in meteorite

Hello all, Thought I'd add that the first occurrance of elemental copper was found in the Richardson (North Dakota) fall of 1918.  It is noted in a paper by Quirke in 1919. Cheers, Frank - Original Message From: Greg Catterton star_wars_collec...@yahoo.com To: Mark Bowling

Hi Walter and all, I believe that the lunar farside origin of NWA 482 comes from the linked article below: http://www.catchafallingstar.com/nwa482/nwa482farside.htm Cheers, Frank - Original Message From: Walter Branch waltbra...@bellsouth.net To:

Re: [meteorite-list] Strewnfield or Strewn Field?

Hello all, I think it would be correct to use strewnfield...one word. When someone talks about a corn field, two words are used.  Another way to say this is : field of corn. If strewn field is the correct, would one also be correct in saying field of strewn?  I don't think that works. So I

Re: [meteorite-list] Most witnessed falls in one year?

Melanie, Greg and all, I think we have a ways to go to break the record.  In 1933 as many as 19 meteorites fell worldwide if you count 2 finds that were reported to have been observed to fall in 1933 but were found later and are classified as finds.  The second greatest number of falls

Re: [meteorite-list] Photo of a K-chondrite / Could this be one of the rarest meteorites found?

  Hello all, Thought this might be of some interest concerning the rarest meteorite, at least from a historical viewpoint.  At the beginning of the Twentieth Century, Henry A. Ward thought Nobleborough (1823 Maine fall) was one of the rarest of the meteorites he owned.  At this time Ward owned

[meteorite-list] August Issue of MAPS - Great article on Stuart Perry

Hello all, Received my August 2009 issue of MAPS yesterday.  I highly recommend the article by Plotkin and Clarke on Stuart H. Perry's contributions to meteorite collection and research, 1927-1957.  Don't recognize Perry's name?  After you read the article you'll realize his contributions

Re: [meteorite-list] Largest 'Fall' Meteorite

I know this doesn't answer the original question, but the thread seems to have morphed into the largest witnessed cratering event. Kaali is not officially witnessed, but it certainly could have been. The Kaali group of craters, on the Estonian island of Saaremaa, are estimated to be only 4000

Re: [meteorite-list] nwa 001 to nwa 200

Hello Steve and all that might be interested, If you have plans to collecting this series, it will be very difficult as several of the numbers are provisional.  I for one have a stone that has one of these numbers assigned to it but it has never been classified. Good luck with your quest.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bogou Meteorite in the Accretion Desk

Hi Martin, Mike, and all, I've always liked Bogou too, probably because of the photo below from Al Lang's site.  Unfortunately I don't have a specimen :-( http://www.nyrockman.com/museum/bogou-8.htm Al's etched part slice has a very cool heat-affected rim on it.  Of course the question
