Excellent vintage, Dr. Watson!
...Holmes cocked his eye at me, leaning back on the cushions with a pleased
and yet critical face, like a connoisseur who has just taken his first sip
of a comet vintage.

Hello
Jerry was thinking along the same lines I was.
I was wondering how one might begin such a study on a
small budget.
One method that might be used is to gather the iron
spherules that morphologically resemble Brownlees and
put them into a millimeter high and wide pile. Place
them in
Dear List Members,
I would like to offer a very Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American
collectors. Thanksgiving may be an American holiday, but I would like to
extend to all of my friends and clients throughout the world a hearty
Thanks for all of your past , present and future business
All periodic comets eventually lose their volatiles. The result is an
extinct comet, although nobody knows exactly what that means... an
asteroid? a loose clump of rocky material? There are asteroids which are
believed to be extinct comets (3200 Phaethon, for instance, the parent
body of the
Hi,
I saw the picture of Comet Holmes, listed as 1892. Does it, or will it ever
dissipatate?

Happy Thanksgiving to our American colleagues - and holiday blessing to
our international colleagues.
Do not forget that Murchison is thought by some in the community to be a
leading candidate as a dead comet due to its 98 known amino acids and
13% water by volume. I for one love the smell of my
Dear Listees,
Anyone seen this and kind enough to comment? Tickets are a steep $26 but
are really just a piggybacked admission included with a visit to the
American Museum of Natural History (where, besides the Willamette mass,
etc., three Cape York meteorites are on display: 31-ton

The First Thanksgiving
Early one August day in 1620, a ship set sail from Plymouth with 101 souls on
board
- men, women, and children. The ship was the `Mayflower', and the travellers
were
Puritan Pilgrims. They were leaving England to
I'm preparing an auction description for the remaining Canyon Diablo slices
and end cuts I have for sale
But to be perfectly honest I don't really know that much about them, except
what I have been told but I need more solid info
I tried the net but it's a odd subject and not much can be
Hi, Ron,
Holmes had its first known (or noticed) outburst
in 1892, which was why it was discovered. That outburst
faded, then there was another similarly bright outburst
60 days later, which also faded.
The next time around, 7 years later, it was pretty dim,
and got dimmer. It got so
Hi,
I can't reply expertly to all the compositional questions
about Canyon Diablo, but I got the answer to one:
what made the Canyon Diablo meteorite so special?
It's that honkin' big hole in the ground it made!

Hello List members,
I'd like to inform everybody here, especially
Moroccans, to not ship with Chronopost, I lost a
package this week, they stole the meteorites from the
box and put back something to keep the exact weight of
the pacakge.
I wondered how this happened since the best company

Once again a Hot meteorite. What a bunch of Bull. Why waste time on these
things?
Most kids are liars and this one simply takes the cake. Id like to meet this
science teacher and educate him. More likely a Hot briquet from his
drunkien neighbors backyard grill.
Wish I had a real meteorite
Hi all,
I thought I'd have a go at making a 2008 Meteorite Calender this year using
some of my high-res images. There's a different meteorite for each month
from stones to irons. For anyone who's interested you can see it here:

There you go Francis, worth every kilonewton of effort. But, first I have to
set up a few collectors away from local pollutants, which in my case may be
more feasible than some. I live in the boondocks as it were, 1 1/2 mile
off tar roads and right smack in the middle of nothing. [Also great
