To all you folks with the beautiful Bruderheim specimens...I'm
jealous. What fantastic pieces they are! Congrats to anyone having a
piece of that fall in their collection.

The question comes up from time to time about the cost of classifying a
meteorite and also regarding turn around time.
The actual cost varies significantly depending on the type of meteorite.
For example, base cost for an equilibrated OC

I would love ot go on the Chernobyl tour. The photographic opportunities look
incredible. I'd be there in a minute if the chance arose.
Great chart. While I was looking it over my fiancee asked what I was looking
at. I explained the various doses depicted on the chart and we once again
Humanity has believed in evil spirits pretty
much forever, for 400-500 centuries. Then, a
few centuries ago, some odd Europeans pop

is rational, perceptible and understandable?
Yeah, that's going to make a big impression
on the human unconscious...
Hi Steve and all,
Seems the money could have been used to promote sales rather than
wasted in court. You both would have come out ahead. Sorry that you had
to spend the money to defend yourself.
With this slow economy it is understandable that sales of big ticket
items are hard to sell.
Walter,
There is also the intriguing possibility that they may be rather hard to spot
after they land. Once the crust has weathered, they may look almost identical
to terrestrial sedimentary rocks. It's a strange idea but there must also be
earth meteorites lying around but none in our

Personally if a meteorite were glued together I'd want to know, but I'm
positive I could tell it were glued together. Now, to be honest with you,
unless the person was an expert at gluing meteorites, I'm sure most people
could tell it was glued, I would think.
The nature of this list means that I am certainly preaching to the converted
but I'll have my say anyway.
Research and discovery for it's own sake is uniquely human. It is true that it
costs a lot of money but we all know it's very little in the grand scheme.

Good Morning Barrett,
I Found a meteorite yesterday while hunting and it was a broken piece.
So I looked around a little more and found the other broken half! I
messed with them a little and proved they go together in a puzzle.
Awesome piece. When my hunting buddies all got together a little

I agree with Brian Cox in that it is important when repairing specimens
to ensure that it is clear that this has been repaired and that it is
not being passed off as anything otherwise. Artefacts are often repaired
when there is sufficient material remaining, or
AWESOME! My favorite ever that you've shared. WOW!

It depends on the meteorite. I find it acceptable to stabilize common
meteorites
with bonding agents before cutting if it looks like it will break apart during
cutting. One of the reasons is safety, the other is conservation. I wouldn't
want a 30 pound monster flying apart in the middle of a
Hi Everyone -
Nine years ago I wrote about NASA's Ed Weiler's plan to flood the meteorite
market by putting too many meteorites on it all at once:

This has been brought up before and is why I hate to hear the words, it looks
terrestrial.

We are doing 16, 17, 18O on silicates from meteorites now by laser

radiation dose is realy wierd. You can get more radiation from an hour in the
sun getting a tan than from being scanned at the airport. A tanning bed or a
few hours in front of a cathode ray tube. Then you can replace the lantern
mantle on your camping lantern and breath in more radioactive

One would think that perhaps (one) would have some evidence of fusion crust on
it out of the 30,000 plus meteorites found. Could sedimentary rocks on Mars be
more rare the igneous? So rare that the chances of a piece being ejected off
be very very slim.
I alway wonder to myself while
Good Morning Laurence, Carl and the list,
I am interested in this thread and honestly, I think Laurence's
estimate on labor rates is a tad bit low although I understand it was
a guesstimate. Typical loaded labor rates is very high if all is
considered...hourly wages/med benefits/retirement
Greg,
Maybe you are throwing Mars rocks?
Again, this has also been posted before and rejected by some but, it is the
only *real* study we have by which to judge. And accordingly sedimentary
rocks developed white crust or none at all. Why ignore the science?
see link;
sedimentary rocks be they cabonates or other oxides when exposed to water
after heating have an exothermic reaction. Thats why the same minerals are used
to melt ice on roads. Any fusion crust exposed to ice or terestrial weathering
would be gone in a few minutes or hours. Take a piece if bog
