Re: [meteorite-list] new california meteorite (NOT)

Steve, The Sherbinator never did respond to my email offering expertization either at my home or with the crew at UCLA. A year to get it checked out? Maybe a year to get a real meteorite characterized, but a lot of meteor-wrongs can be identified in a few minutes! Nick At 04:28 PM 5/10/2004,

[meteorite-list] caliche cleaning and Parnallee question

Hi, Thinking about caliche - as it is mainly calcium carbonate , a wash with HCl would probably nuke it - however, I have got a 66g lump of Dean's CV3 and it is relatively riddled for the first 0.5cms to 1cm with caliche veins - I suspect that a dunk in HCl may cause fragments of the meteorite

Re: [meteorite-list] caliche cleaning and Parnallee question

Dave and List, Dave, you also used to collect minerals (or still do). Remember how ugly an amethyst looks after a wash with HCL? Instead of risking fragments to break away or having other mineral constuents dissolved, I'd rather leave some caliche Also, having just bought a 40g slice of

Re: [meteorite-list] caliche cleaning and Parnallee question

Re: [meteorite-list] Australian Iron Meteorite For Sale

A small tidbit not mentioned: "The federal Government has classified the meteorite as a piece of cultural heritage and banned its export." http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0%2C4057%2C9518424%255E13762%2C00.html That is confusing. Anyone can buy it but they cannot leave Australia with it?

Re: [meteorite-list] Australian Iron Meteorite For Sale

Hi Ken and List It appears that the ozzy gov wants to retain its control of the item, yet allow study to occur. Funny thing about cultural heritage items, they can go all over the world on loan...some never return I hearbut technically, they belong to some organization representing that

[meteorite-list] Off topic, I know but...

Hi all, I know this is slightly off topic but I thought you'd all appreciate it for the comedy value. When the discovery of Sedna was announced I started wondering what a distant planetoid would talk about, if it could talk. (I think I might be finding my day job a little boring these days).
