[meteorite-list] Seeking leftover nwas

Ill be giving a presentation on meteorites for a 4th grade class and want to give each student a small piece of meteorite. Nothing special - chipped fragments will do. Anybody got a couple of dozen I could pick up cheap? Maybe 20 grams or so each? Thanks, Gary

Sterling, I too got drawn into tektites by the mystery. They often tell their individual stories plainly, but we still can't get the big picture out of them! One comment on your comments though. Tektites (australites) ARE very often emu gizzard stones. In the dry lakes where they are most

Maybe those should be called emuites to convey their unique journey? Anita -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norm Lehrman Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 9:58 AM To: Sterling K. Webb; Steve Schoner; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Tektites continued...Dirk Ross...Tokyo

Dear Norm, Steve, Sterling and List, Thank you for your posts on tektites. The fact is we know very little about the formation of tektites and where the mystery crater(s), if any, are. I have spent almost 20 years searching Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. So far, the theories

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 26, Issue 30

Norm, That's a wonderful piece of data (and I can't dare say it's hard to swallow...). Darwin had first described the Australites in his account of the voyage of the Beagle in 1844, with a very nice illustration of a classic flanged button. Darwin assumed they were volcanic obsidian but

[meteorite-list] AD: ESTHERVILLE PART-SLICE

Good Evening Everyone... Might anyone be interested in purchasing a 125g part-slice of the Estherville meso? It's a very fresh slice from the interior of a very large individual; no oxidation whatsoever, and it has some large metal blebs. I can let it go for six bucks a gram if anyone wants

[meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 26, Issue 30 (Schoner's theory)

My theory on tektite formation: Go back to the impacts of cometary material on Jupiter in July of 1994. I think in this there is a clear demonstration of how tektites are formed. There were huge plumes of plasma extending out into space, and large dark clouds of re-condensed dust from the

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 26, Issue 30 (Schoner's theory)

Steve, Everything sounds fine till that last couple of paragraphs where every other proposal also stumbles. Just where is all this silicate material in our oceans or atmosphere? I still see a mass balance problem. I'm open for a good answer, but if you just described it, I didn't understand.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 26, Issue 30 (Schoner's theory) Tektites

Dear Steve, Norm and List Members, I posed a question to D. Futrell some 10 years ago concerning comet formation of tektites. I asked him if it was possible that a comet could have entered Earth`s atmosphere and left behind glass from melted silicates from both the comet and Earth entrained
