Hi again.
This is known to everybody, but it clearly shows how, in reality, the
meteorite hunters are seen by the scientific comunity, regardless of the
many times described (by the first) proximity and cooperation between them:
A PLAGUE.
The problem of Saharan meteorites is exactly the same
About the Zagami stone:
In the Mars meteorite compendium of 2003, it seams that Bob Haag toke 9Kg of
the meteorite, about 50 % of the total mass.
At the actual prices are between 500 - 1000 USD/g. it means 4.5 to 9
Million USD, if I am not totally wrong.
What was traded for the meteorite?
Good Morning All,
I discovered this link to: Anatomy of A Martian Meteorite Poster and
Information Packet. I hope you find it useful.

Wow... knowing how fragile aubrites are, think how much material must have
fell off during transport. And at ~50 bucks a gram...sheesh. I was told that
there is quite a bit of material that simply falls off onto the floor while
on display at UNM... and it is usually this material that gets traded.
YIPEES!! 250my is an infinitesmally small geologic frame.
I prefer contemplating the theoritcal lunar origin.
similarly catastrophic but at a much SAFER time lapse.

Gosh, what a little sucker!
Thank you, Michael, for continuing to provide excellent meteorite pics to our
little community.
The pic collection would make a great picture book of meteorites, and I
personally believe, in such a case there would be no

Hello to the list,
I'm proud to announce that you can register from now on to the Online
Encyclopedia of Meteorites.
Registration is free.
The Encyclopedia opens in August or September 2006 but I have to know from now
how many people are interested. That's the reason why I invite all of you
Very clever Doug.
Glad the new week is upon us as it means more think

overheats, either but I'll dig out the appropriate

Hi,
Also, less than a month ago, there was a similar proof
that the Bedout High, off the coast of north-western Australia,
was a crater remnant, with impact melts, breccias, and an Ar/Ar
date of 250.1 mya. Nobody much liked it, either...

G'day all,
This event occured in either 1979, 1980 or 1981. I was standing on the
platform of the Yarraville railway station (western Melbourne, Australia,
suburb) awaiting the arrival of my ride home from visiting a workmate. I
believe I was looking to the North, across the railway line,
This is a mystery alright.
I have just as much trouble accepting that several thousands litres of bats
blood made its way into the rain clouds for several months over the same
area as I do for cometary debris containing cells raining down over the
area. ?
Question, do we know what kind

I spent a lot of years and travelled a lot of kilometres searchings mines
and mountains for mineral specimens, I bashed boulders and searched for
vughs containing my quarry.
I am speechless.

Nice to know that there are still some nice finds out there.
Thank you for the picture of

leisure.Remember,BID HIGH AND BID OFTEN.

Hi,
Actually, I like it too. Except that I favor
the idea of the shock waves from the impact
focusing on the far side of the planet and causing
mantle plumes to break through and basalt to
flood there. The Moon shows faint evidence of this
happening there, but Mercury has a huge area

Armando,
you're really obsessed.
Do you have any clues, how expensive it would be to hunt in Antarctica for
private persons?
No person of sound mind would go there for financial purposes to search for
meteorites! The costs for an Ansmet-Team of 6 persons for a 6-week-hunt is
smth around 800,000$
Hi List,
I have listed a couple of nice meteorites on eBay. Also, for those of you
brave enough to seek out another equally intriguing and expensive hobby, I
have also listed some extremely rare flown hardware from the Space Shuttle

The light was low on the horizon, about 10-15 degrees above
it. After a few seconds it seperated into several glowing fragments, and
then a shower of debris, all travelling at the same leisurely pace across
the sky. It was visible for about 20 seconds before it faded out. At first

EvenI can tell the difference between the fusion crust
of a lunarite and an H5 chondrite, even if it's been
weathered. The labs are not doing a favour, the guys
who find this stuff just have a good idea what they're
looking for? Is that so hard to accept?
You complain that they are

Thanks for the post armando,i think i see where this is going.you are
crawling out on a limb and when you get too far out someone will saw it off. I
appreciate the fact that we can speak our mind on this list,so,go for it and
let

Nobody seams to understand what is lost in this process. AA
Much more would be lost to the scientific community and Humanity were it not
for the small number of intrepid entrepreneurs willing to risk life, limb

The problem are the printing costs for colour pics in good quality for small
print runs.
That would drive the selling price so high, that most collectors wouldn't
agree to buy a copy.
Perhaps you may ask the Killgores, how high the printing costs for their
picture books were, (printed in Korea
