Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery

There is no conspiracy except the one you have created to bring some misguided legitimacy to your story and your rocks. You also do an immense disservice to our dedicated scientist and meteoriticists. They have no malicious intent to prejudicially reject your rocks. Their motive is furthering

Mendy and All, I have a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. My nose is twitching and I smell an unpleasant odor. Like I'm standing near an outhouse in Colorado. Count Deiro IMCA 3536 MetSoc Message- >From: Gmail via Meteorite-list >Sent:

Re: [meteorite-list] Lake Eyre meteorite 'Crown property', researchers required to hand findings over

Hey Galactic Stone, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel?  ;-) Did this line in that article hit you too close to home: "Professor Bland said he suspects there are amateur astronomers who are frustrated by legislation requiring them to hand back their discoveries from outer space." I find

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million

Dear Tommy and All I will be interested to see the reaction of listees to this article. A few years ago I posted a small "flyer" for the work of an artist who had taken a piece of Campo, made a mould of it, melted the meteorite then cast it in the mould she had made earlier and put it on

Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery

This is absolute hogwash. I have no background in academia, no academic credentials, and before meteorites, I cut trees for a living. I did not know anyone, I did not know the rules, I was a total newcomer back in 2007. I was embraced with open arms, despite the fact that I came across as

Re: [meteorite-list] Lake Eyre meteorite 'Crown property', researchers required to hand findings over

More hogwash. The inbox is full of it this morning. "Scientific value" - "sitting on the mantlepiece" - "black market" This kind of piece belongs in the National Enquirer. Dr. Grguric should get together and drink kool-aid with Lindfors and the new World Record Martian Loon. They all have the

Re: [meteorite-list] Lake Eyre meteorite 'Crown property', researchers required to hand findings over

The only difference between the U.S. and Australia's restrictive meteorite laws is that meteorites belong to the Crown in one country and the federal and now state governments in another. It will not be long before finds on private land here in the U.S. are affected. Public lands are being

Re: [meteorite-list] Lake Eyre meteorite 'Crown property', researchers required to hand findings over

I think there should be no regulations whatsoever on meteorite recoveries from public land. The old system of 20% or 20 grams has worked fine for decades and it is not a law. Australia used to be the number one producer of meteorites during the 80's. Now look where they are. The U.S.

Re: [meteorite-list] Lake Eyre meteorite 'Crown property', researchers required to hand findings over

Hi Bob and List, Bingo! (or should I say, Bingol!) - Look, I have the utmost respect for meteorite hunters who go out into the field under harsh conditions (at best) and recover these space treasures. Whether they work for ANSMET, the Crown, or the Meteorite List - it takes determination, money,

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million

Hello Peter, Since you asked I am sorry if I upset your friend or yourself, but destroying a meteorite just so you can redo it was simply idiotic. Why break something just so you can glue it back together? and losing in the process the Widmanstatten pattern, the very identity

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million

Hi List, I have to agree with Anne on this one. It's sad to see a beautiful regmaglypted Gibeon sliced down, smelted, and turned into a tool. I'd feel the same way if the tool was a wrench or a gun. Besides, meteoritic iron is not homogeneous and may fracture under pressure. It is a poor

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million

There is *nothing* wrong with crafting the handle of a sidearm using a meteorite. There is *nothing* wrong with pistols or rifles. Period. It's no different than using meteorites to make the face of a watch. No difference. From:

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million

It would be interesting if they made a Colt Peacemaker .45 pistol from a meteorite. This is the gun that help keep peace in the West starting in 1873. http://guns.wikia.com/wiki/Colt_Peacemaker I went to a cash land auction held by Pershing County here in Nevada and was concerned about

Re: [meteorite-list] Lake Eyre meteorite 'Crown property', researchers required to hand findings over

Hi List, we can bang on about laws all day (which actually vary here in Australia between states) and also point fingers at scientists and museum staff we don't know. At the end of the day the law is the law...Deal with it There is no elitism going on, these guys are nice enough they just have

Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery

Why when making the discovery of meteorites in the field, why then give away the scientific analysis and identification process to another? Why not learn how to do it for yourself so that your knowledge of the science of meteoritics increases? Why give away that joy of this discovery
