BTW: A repair in 1993 and in 1999 was (partly) conducted by our Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier: STS-103 Discovery (19-27 December 1999) was an 8-day mission. The primary objective was the repair and servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), in particular the replacement of six gyroscopes which are necessary to meet the telescope`s very precise pointing requirement. During this spaceflight, Nicollier carried out his first spacewalk (EVA), of 08:10 hours duration, to install a new computer and one of three fine guidance sensors. He is the first European to obtain EVA experience on a Shuttle flight.

[meteorite-list] New Mauretanian meteorite?
On behalf of Beda Hofmann, who's e-mails do not make it to the list at this time: Hello list Does anyone know about a recent fall in Mauretania? I have received a sample of a meteorite that supposedly fell on October 12, 2006. At first I did not believe the story, the stuff looks like El Hammami and probably is also an H. However, first results from low-level gamma-spectroscopy indicate it is really a recent fall (short-lived radionuclides are present). Please let me know if somebody knows that other labs are working on the classification already...

Re: [meteorite-list] a few other auction surprises
Hello Zelimir, the same here! Millbillillie went for 1100.00 USD, our maximum bid: 1300.00 USD!!! Sylacauga went for 1525.00 USD, our maximum bid: 2250.00 USD!! Tenham went for 800.00 USD, our maximum bid: 1200.00 USD!!! I made this bids for a friend of mine. We both are very frustrated! Cheers, Peter Zelimir Gabelica wrote: Hi Mike, list, Mike's reported hammer prices will probably shed more shadow than light on that famous auction. While we are at trying to clear all points, here are some of my own amazements. I have put 11 absentee bids and four of them turned to be above the hammer prices.

(badly missing something!) 2) For other 6 items, my bids were logically lower than hammers. This is OK (at least on my side) 3) But for the last item, here is the other surprise. Iris Lang sent me the same letter as to Peter, about item N° 29, Khohar. Here it is Dear Zelimir Gabelica, You won Lot # 29 Khohar for $495 Allan will be home within a week. Please contact him by e-mail to make arrangment for payment. You can pay by check or credit card. Please add shipping and handling cost. Best regards Iris Lang Now Mike reports that this item was sold to Achim in room for $ 495 (which is exactly my bid). If Mike is corect, something really wrong here. Who is the winner ? I dare hoping that Mike mixed the two winers but his statement seems so strong. Any thoughts? Unless I missed many rules or facts (not excluded), things are far from being clear. Are there other cases ? Best, Zelimir A 09:55 08/02/2007 -0800, Michael Farmer a écrit : Mike and everyone else, I do not want to be in the middle of this. I am running a business at the show. I did Al and Achim a favor (I thought) by reporting stolen pieces. I did not know the firestorm that would follow. I have had at least 50 requests for prices from 50 people, I don't have time to deal with these emails, so by taking the last 30 minutes to posts the hammer prices should release me from any more emails to me. Others in the room can compare prices they wrote down. the rest is between the interested parties and the Langs. Michael Farmer This should end my involvement in the dispute I hope. Perhaps next year, people could just come to my room, and pay the fixed price listed, it would be less painfull!

Cheers, Peter Mike Jensen wrote: Hi Mark Mike Thanks for letting everyone else know that we sell the Riker style cases. I do see that Indian River sells them cheaper. My guess and it is only a guess is that they sell the cases that are made in China as they are below my cost! Well at least I hope so anyway. My cases are made in the USA, though they are not the genuine Riker cases. True Riker cases are also made in the USA and have a slightly higher quality. Unfortunately they sell for almost double the price of my cases. I also know the boxes I sell are of higher quality than the ones mfg in China. Hopefully that helps everyone make up their mind that for the price and quality my cases are the best. :) One more note I also sell them on Ebay but at a slightly higher price due to Ebay fees.

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day / NWA 4024
Hello All, http://www.rocksfromspace.org/February_24_2008.html We have several pieces of very likely the same meteorite. First we thought it might be paired with NWA 2680. Further analyses at the Nat. Hist. Museum in Bern showed that this is not the case: Ni 8.58 und 7.82 % (NWA 2680: 13.7%) Co 0.47 und 0.46 % (NWA 2680: 0.54%) Cu 10 ppm (NWA 2680: 548 ppm) Ni and Cu contents show that our material is very likely not paired with NWA 2680. Then we saw high res. picts of NWA 4024 and noticed that our material looks visually identical to NWA 4024. We sold several pieces on ebay as new iron last year. Unfortunately the museum in Bern could not classify our material, so we sent 25 grams to Dr. Greshake in Berlin. To be sure that it is the same material as NWA 4024, he suggested to make an O-Isotope analysis which he can't do himself but scientifists in England he is working with. But it seems that our material is right at the bottom of the priority list of these English scientists - so we have to be patient. As soon we have the results from England, we will inform you and put some of our material on ebay again. For those who already have bought from our material and are waiting for the final resultsthank you for being so patient!

[meteorite-list] Genuine meteorite called tektite
Hi Howard and list, it has never been my intention to give the impression that I might know more than others. What I find rather funny is the whole long list of guesses what a genuine meteorite might be. Howard, I hope you agree that a guenine meteorite and a tectite is not the same thing. I agree that not all questions regarding tectites are answered. But that's not the point. The funniest part - for me at least - is the end of the explanation where it says:IT MAY BE PART OF A LARGE IMPACT METEOR THAT STRUCK THE EARTH AND FELL BACK. Fell back to where? It almost seems that the writer of the text is an extra terrestrial ;-) Have a nice weekend! Peter Marmet Howard Wu wrote: Ok Peter, if your so smart where do tektites come from?

[meteorite-list] Meteorites of the AMM
Hello list, in a booklet I found a leaflet of the American Meteorite Museum printed in 1946/47. Here Dr.H.H.Nininger tells his visitors what they can expect to see : Among many others - 22 famous meteorites; but he does not mention the names of these meteorites and I don't have the answers myself, so I thought it might be funny/interesting - as a kind of test/challenge for some of you - to name those meteorites. Here are the descriptions of the meteorites you could see in 1946/47 visiting the AMM: 1. A meteorite that fell through a house roof in Missouri during World War I. 2. A portion of another that fell through a barn in Wisconsin five years earlier. 3. Still another that crashed through a bedroom where two children were asleep. 4. The only gold-bearing meteorite in America. 5. Diamonds in meteorites. 6. The largest mass ever found in connection with the world's greatest meteorite crater. 7. A meteorite that was excavated in an encient ruin of the cliff-dwellers. It was found wrapped in feather cloth and enclosed in a stone cyst. 8. The world's largest known shower of stony meteoritesin Texas. 9. Stones from a shower which almost broke up a burial service near Denver, Colo., in 1924. 10. Portions of recent fallsone as late as August, 1946. 11. 2000 stones which fell near Holbrook, Arizona, in 1912. 12. An implement fashioned from a meteorite by a Mexican blacksmith. 13. An Indian axe made from a meteorite found in a ruin in New Mexico. 14. The only known copper meteorite in the world. 15. A group of meteorite hammer-stones from Central Mexico. 16. Two of the largest stony meteorites ever discovered. 17. A meteorite that was found doing service as a deadman in a fence on a ranch in Texas. 18. Another one which did similar service in Kansas. 19. A meteorite which served as an anvil on a Mexican hacienda for 25 years. 20. A meteorite which served as a weight in a pork barrel for 23 years. 21. Another which was used on a kraut barrel for 23 years. 22. Several tons of meteorites gathered from the vicinity of the famous Arizona crater.

[meteorite-list] (Sometimes) I hate to be a meteorite dealer!
Hi list, last weekend I was in Liege, Belgium at the Mineral Show. Liege is a very nice city with very nice and friendly people - but that's not the point... I had a very nice time there and once again I'd like to thank, Michel, Claude and Zelimir (Gabelica) for the fun and friendship I experienced there - but that's not the point... I had a table there and was offering a few SA's, CD's and a few other meteorites for sale. Despite the fact that most people came because of minerals, a lot of them were very intersted - but that's not the point... I tried to do my best and was talking in French :-(( for 3 days. But people were patient and I was quite glad to tell them about the wonders of meteorites - but that's not the point... It was only the second time in my life that I was a «dealer» but I quite liked it. So, Sunday early afternoon about 6 or seven people were standing around my table when I noticed a beautiful, tall young girl about 20 years of age who was patientely waiting until I stoped talking with some other people - then she looked at me and said: « I think I found a meteorite!». «Do you have it with you?», I replied, hoping she would say no, but she said: «Yes, it's right here in my bag, actually I found two meteorites», and she showed me two very, very obvious pieces of slag that she had found near her house. I tried to explain - fighting with the French language - why this were not metorites. She was listening for a while, took the pieces, murmering: That's ok, that's ok and - before I could close my mouth she had disappeared in the crowd. If this had been a old, ugly, angry guy, ok, but this. I HATE IT ( and myself for being so dumb !!!) Nobody warned me - so, to all newcomers in the business: Take one of your SA's or CD's and show the difference and give her the real one for free!!!

Hello list, I like to find all ebay and all other AD's on this very list. Somtimes items are sold within a few minutes and I don't like to check the yahoo list every 5 minutes. I made a couple of very good buys thanks to AD's on this list. For some items I was - unfortunately - too late as they were put on the list when it was 3:30AM in Europe :-( (e.g. 5g of Ensisheim).

Hi Martin and list, that's exactly what I thought when I saw the pictures of this DaG 476. My slice (20x30mm) and many others pieces (today at the NHM Bern!) of real DaG 476 I saw, did not at all look like the one on ebay. For me there only 3 possibilities: First; The 2 photos on ebay are very bad Second: It's from a very special part of DaG 476 Third: It's not a DaG 476 What do others think? Peter

Re: [meteorite-list] avoid 11 new ebay auctions- can IMCA help?
Hello list, I bought twice from Steve: nice items, fast shipping, nothing negative - positive feedbacks. Peter Marmet Bernhard \"Rendelius\" Rems wrote: Ok, I think that it is time to say something positive about Steve. I have had about 20 transactions with him over the last 8 months, and there was only one problem that was corrected by him pretty fast. Other than that, all bids I won were exactly what he offered (and some GREAT deals amongst them *g*). Well, having said that - I don't understand him in some aspects. Having no pics with most of his auctions is pretty - well, strange, but that's up to him, I think. Some auctions are priced ridicoulosly high, others unbelievably low - again: this is up to him :-). I don't think that Steve is ripping others off on purpose, sometimes one COULD think that he doesn't really know what he does. But hey, there are only a few professional traders - Steve is, like me, just a collector, I'd say. If Steve made a mistake, I am sure he will react and correct it. As long as he does, everything's fine - don't you think so? Bernhard
