Hello,
Finally have things back in order and settled from
my little trip. Thank you to everyone for your understanding while I was
gone.
I enjoyed meeting everyone at this years
Tuscon show. It was nice to see Art Jones, Ron Hartman, Michael
Cottingham, Michael Blood and some of the others I had not meet before.
I was amazed at the number of Colorado
presence. I think we should all be carefull that the Comets aren't trying
to take everything over.
Once again I would like to thank everyone that was
involved in the different events. Good Food, Good People, Good Drinks and
meteorites. What more do you need?
I also am over 200 eBay auctions again including
many meteorites, inluding books and impactite. Here is a link to what I
have titled "1 of Kind Tuscon Meteorite Scale!
READ!"......
I also brought back from Tuscon some Ries
Impactite slices I had Ron Hartman cut for me. As always he did a
great job.
Ries Suevite Breccia . About 14.7 million years old an the impact of a
large meteorite or comet nucleus with the Earth�s surface at Nordlinger Ries,
Germany, Czechoslovakia in the Moldau Valley crated a crater and this suevite
breccia. This is the impact that also created the gem green moldavite tektites.
In the Suevite you can see looks of glass bombs (black),
crystalline fragments (speckled) and fragments of Malmain limestone (light
grey). Most of the fragments embedded in suevite were changed by the influence
of heat. The origin of the Ries site was a debate for hundreds of years, untill
on July 27th 1960 Prof. Shoemaker came to the Ries site to search for coesite,
an impact created mineral. In a few days the samples he collected tested
positive.
Slices are $.10 a gram...all sizes available....e-mail off list if interested.. Thanks again, Mark Bostick "The Big Collector" |
