[meteorite-list] New Canadian Meteorite!

[Tettenborn]

NEWS!   A third Canadian Pallasite has been found in Southampton.  This is just 30km from where I live.   2500 gms individual was found in April 2001 by a 78 year old retired pipe fitter.  This gentleman was strolling along the beach and came across this beauty.    The meteorite was classified at Western University, London, Ontario.   I will  post more later.   Cheers,   Mike Tettenborn Owen Sound, Ontario ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Reynolds To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 5:08 PM Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] OT: solar eclipse All: We have just returned from Mexico. We were near the "center line" just south of Puerto Vallarta. After fording a river, dealing with a rattlesnake, and winds that were whipping up sand, we "gringos" set up on the beach for what looked like a dismal afternoon of clouds. There was no sign of the sun at all. Until--would you believe just around mid-eclipse--out from the cloud layer slips this spectacular red-orange ring! Beads were also visible during the minute or so. Then with no fanfare, the ring slipped back into the clouds. The flock of pink flamingos flying over before central eclipse should have been "the sign." And yes... photos of the annular eclipse will be short in coming (I just dropped my film off today, but have already seen one from our group of "gringos" and need permission to post it!). Keep Looking Up, Mike Reynolds
