If a c chondrite or comet with considerable amount of carbon exploded over the
polar ice sheet , could it create the nano diamonds without leaving behind a
crater? as in an ice crater that melted? or was the land bridge in the Bearing

Are you sure it is a meteorite? It could be a hematite concretion or
some other earth mineral. The fact that it is heavier than an ordinary
stone but doesn't affect the compass needle sounds like some hematite
iron ore. Hematite could develop mica-like structures.

Dear Ron, List,
Interesting story.
It is said that Almahata Sitta is a fragile, porous olivine and
pyroxene-bearing ureilite. Although said to be generally coarse-grained,
ureilites (major olivine, minor pyroxene-pigeonite embedded in a dark
carbon-rich matrix) are rarely porous.
I believe

not. I must say, the experience is quite engrossing!

Hi list,
I was doing a Google search on fireballs and came across a number of

and most of them had an accompanying boom. One of the articles is

Yes actually but I'll let you decide when and where to announce it if we are
right.

I suppose that when we start to get decent IR images, this will be used to

The gray-green or blue crackly crust is very similar but there's not

Problem is it's oriented so

Sorry if anyone gets this twice - I did not get a copy in my email as I

Does anyone know of any R4 that is paired with Ouzina? Or if any additional

Thanks much!
