easy solution at hands (did you expect us to?). If you ask for my personal opinion as a meteorite collector, and IMCA member I'll be glad to share my thoughts. But I can't speak for the Board so you'll have to wait for a communique, or whatever we'll come up with. Anyway, th

Hi All, I'm forwarding this message on behalf of Bruno & Carine. They are having problems to post to the list, and thus they asked me for assistance. Please read below. BTW, I believe their message to be of major importance to us all. We shouldn't allow a few rotten apples to spoil our hobby - so

AW: [meteorite-list] Pellisson, the end of a free meteorite hobby?

Hi Bernd, and All, I can assure you that this is no joke - I never would joke around with these things, and neither would Bruno & Carine. Have a look at the Pellisons website, and now imagine that they are selling this crap to the media, and to institutions that know nothing about meteorites, such

[meteorite-list] AW: Meteorite Found In Israel

Hi all, There's another paragraph in this article that kindled my interest. Quote: "A member of the vehicle's team, Gabriel Shaked, who was one of the people who discovered the stone, said yesterday that the test showed that it was a fragment of Asteroid HAVH-6, a rocky heavenly object that

[meteorite-list] AW: HAVH-6 = 6 Hebe

Thanks Mike and Rob, That's probably the solution. In "Meteorites and Their Parent Bodies" H. McSween also lists 6 Hebe as one of the most probable candidates to be the PB of the H chondrites. Now, but that also means that they found a small ordinary chondrite in Israel. No big deal in a desert en

Hi Sergey, Mark, and List, Now I think I finally got the true meaning of Panspermia ;-)) Great picture that really could have served as a model for all of these banners; thanks for sharing! Best, Norbert > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auf

Hi Jose, and all, As to the 10x10x10mm cubes you wrote: > Perhaps the T on the cube stands for "Top"? > What about the other letters? Yes, the T stands for "Top". The other letters are B, E, N, W, S - so guess what? They stand for: B = Bottom E = East N = North W = West S = South The cube i

Sterling, John, and List, Hmmm, maybe it isn't a scam at all ;-? I'm not saying that I believe in Jovian meteorites, but I know that people can easily misunderstand any information about meteorites. The letter states: "During a conversation with her, one of the meteorites was identified as coming
