This is not actually true. When ebay suspect there is a fraud they 
suspend the account, then make the investigation and and when they finish

[meteorite-list] urban legends and recent meteorites

2004-06-23 Thread chris aubeck


Dear list,

I have noticed that an increase in alleged meteorite
reports in the last month or two is leading some to
claim all kinds of unlikely things about the state of
the cosmos. 

Can anyone tell me to what extent there has been an
increase in actual fireball-like phenomena in, say,
the last 5 years? Or is this a false impression caused
by wider coverage?

I'd love to know, but find no straightforward sources.

Thanks,

Chris

2004-06-23 Thread Steve Arnold, Chicago!!!
Everyday I get about 100 emails.70 are from the met list, and 30 % are
spam(is that not what matteo called me 3 years ago?).The first thing I see
yesterday is the MATTEO/FARMER wars have started again.My god men when,
when it all end?I have been thru these wars when I ws doing to much
posting awhile ago.But for me, I have been to tucson twice and have gotten
to meet most of these great people who are involved in this great hobby.I
hope I have given them a better perspective of myself.I know that I have
had a chance to make my own opinoins on most everyone I have met.By most
cases, everyone I have met seem like great people.I really believe, that
somewhere down the pike,mike and matteo are going to have to meet just to
clear the AIR.FOR THE SAKE OF THE MET. LIST.I really believe that as we
get older,alot of us have had stuff happen to us thru out our lives that
we wish would not continue to bug us, but somehow it continues to
persist.Then we say,I am to old for this to continue.Well that is how I
feel.As I rapidly approach 50(6 weeks to go),i hope to see an end to all
this WARFARE,and lets get back to meteorites.Is that not why we are all
here for?The omly thing I blame matteo for is the only negative blotch on
my ebay record.Oh well, life goes on and another day of  work.Just a
persective from chicago.Have a great day all.

It is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a
democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the
bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they
are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.

[meteorite-list] K20 in meteorites

2004-06-23 Thread Michel Franco
Hello Bernd,  List

I have a problem with my new find Sahara 03500. ( Achondrite anom) :

It holds more than 0.5% of K2O. Other percentages are almost OK.

I am wandering if other meteorites hold such percentages of that Potassium
Oxyde, which is 5 times more than any average type.
Any answer or help is welcome. TKS per advance.

Best regards

Hi Steve and all,

Although I hope you are right Steve, a look back in the archives show that fighting
has been going on almost from day one. I wouldn't hold my breath too long as there are
bound to be more flame wars sooner or later. We can only hope they will be more
civilized than in the past. Such negative posts are the result of more than a few
people getting out of the hobby so everyone looses from such posts. Many of the people
who get into disputes are really nice people for the most part that let someone get
the best of them.

Those posting to the list with too many negativity's, ads and so forth are
automatically removed to my trash. As it has been said before don't respond to
personal attacks on the list but work it out off list. I do want to thank Mike for his
letting us know about this fraud attempt.  Now does anyone want to start a pool on how
soon before the next post of nocomemeteorites posts again?? :-)

AW: [meteorite-list] K20 in meteorites

2004-06-23 Thread Jörn Koblitz
Dear Michel,

fairly high K2O values have been reported for C-like clast in the following meteorites:

LEW 85300 (polymict eucrite) 0.47% (C clast)
Supuhee (H6) 0.57% (clast)
Krähenberg (LL5) 1.45% (dark portion)
Miles (IIE silicated iron) 0.5% (silicates)
Cumberland Falls (aubrite) 0.43% (chondritic clasts)

but also as bulk content:

Governador Valadares (nakhlite) 0.43%
Bhola (LL3-6) 1.5% (reference: Compositional study of K-rich fragments and host 
material, pyroxene Fs4-25, olivine Fa27.8, 
   F.Wlotzka et al., GCA, 1983, 47, p.743.)

There are some more meteorites with high potassium contents reported, but the wet 
chemical analyses are fairly antique and not very trustworthy.

To give a general direction: high potassium contents in whole rock material is quite 
unusual. Typical contents are in the order of 0.1 to 0.2% for chondrites and 0.02 to 
0.05% for basaltic achondrites (grand average of 1660 analyses is 0.098%). High K 
values have often been reported for unusual clasts in achondrits as well as for 
chondrites (here mainly carbonaceous material) and silicated irons. So, it could be, 
that your meteorite is a clast left over (e.g. by weathering or fragmentation during 
fall) from a larger body.

Best regards,
Jorn

   I have a question about the Mars rovers. It is unbelievable how well
 they were engineered to not only complete the prescribed missions, but to
 over-extend the way they have been able to do. What is the ultimate limiting
 factor that will cause them to stop functioning?  It seems like they have
 unlimited electrical, assuming that the storage cells are still able to
 re-charge from the solar cells. Is it the storage cells themselves that will
 fail first? Or are there other factors that will come into play soon that
 will end the extended mission?
 

If the rovers survive the Mars winter, then they have a good chance of lasting 
several more months on Mars.  In fact, when I last talked to Jim Erickson, 
the project manager, he said they are planning for an 'infinitely long mission'.  
Of course,  a critical part on the rovers can go out at any time.  The thermal 
cycling from night  day is rather extreme. The dust accumulation
on the solar arrays is also a concern, as the available power will
drop with time.  One of Spirit's front wheels just started to draw more power - 
the first sign of age on that rover. Opportunity has had a heater 
that has been stuck in the on position ever since landing.

What finally did Mars Pathfinder in was its battery.  The battery was
charged during the day, and used at night to turn on the heaters to
keep the lander warm at night.  When the battery finally gave out,
the lander was unable to keep itself warm, and after the first
night without the battery, the lander was never heard from again.

[meteorite-list] paper About Tunguska Event Impactor

2004-06-23 Thread Paul H
In the March (2004) issue of Planetary and Space 
Science, there is a paper discussing the identity 
of the impactor, which produced the Tunguska Event,
that might be of interest to some list members. 
The paper is:

Q. L. Hou , E. M. Kolesnikov , L. W. Xie , N. V. 
Kolesnikova , M. F. Zhou and M. Sun, 2004, 
Platinum group element abundances in a peat layer 
associated with the Tunguska event, further 
evidence for a cosmic origin. Planetary and 
Space Science. vol. 52, no. 4, pp. 331-340
doi:10.1016/j.pss.2003.08.002

Based upon excess Pd, Rh, Ru, REE, Co, Sr, and Y 
found in a peat column from the Northern peat bog 
of the 1908 Tunguska explosion site, they concluded 
that the impactor, which created the Tunguska event
was more likely a comet, although the possibility
that the impactor might have alternatively been a
carbonaceous asteroid. They estimated that the 
mass of either the comet or carbonaceous asteroid 
was as large as 103-106 tons.

I am only reporting what this paper stated. I don't 
know enough about the pro and cons of the various
arguments about the Tunguska event to evaluate 
their conclusions in any intelligent manner. If
anybody needs more information, he or she can 
find contact information for the authors by 
clicking the link, Volume 52, Issue 4, pp. 259-340
(March 2004) at:

and following the article link to the abstract.

(Besides my library doesn't subscribe to Planetary 
and Space Science. Thus, I only have access to the
article's abstract.)

AW: [meteorite-list] K20 in meteorites

2004-06-23 Thread MexicoDoug
Michel  Jörn,

I have no access to those references so, just wanted to ask is it conceivable that the analyses reflect potash-type runoff or contamination from:

a) concentratin by long since evaporating ancient lake beds (like hot desert-low elevation in Tunisia, maybe?)
b) concentration by evaporating water deposits (like Mars, maybe)
c) from fertilizers' runoff (including simoon) ?

Saludos Doug

Dear Michel,

fairly high K2O values have been reported for C-like clast in the following meteorites:

LEW 85300 (polymict eucrite) 0.47% (C clast)
Supuhee (H6) 0.57% (clast)
Krähenberg (LL5) 1.45% (dark portion)
Miles (IIE silicated iron) 0.5% (silicates)
Cumberland Falls (aubrite) 0.43% (chondritic clasts)

but also as bulk content:

Governador Valadares (nakhlite) 0.43%
Bhola (LL3-6) 1.5% (reference: Compositional study of K-rich fragments and host material, pyroxene Fs4-25, olivine Fa27.8, 
 F.Wlotzka et al., GCA, 1983, 47, p.743.)

There are some more meteorites with high potassium contents reported, but the wet chemical analyses are fairly antique and not very trustworthy.

To give a general direction: high potassium contents in whole rock material is quite unusual. Typical contents are in the order of 0.1 to 0.2% for chondrites and 0.02 to 0.05% for basaltic achondrites (grand average of 1660 analyses is 0.098%). High K values have often been reported for unusual clasts in achondrits as well as for chondrites (here mainly carbonaceous material) and silicated irons. So, it could be, that your meteorite is a clast left over (e.g. by weathering or fragmentation during fall) from a larger body.

Best regards,
Jorn

[meteorite-list] Cassini VIMS Team Finds That Phoebe May Be Kin To Comets

2004-06-23 Thread Ron Baalke


CASSINI VIMS TEAM FINDS THAT PHOEBE MAY BE KIN TO COMETS
From Lori Stiles, UA News Services, 520-621-1877
June 23, 2004

Scientists may at last have settled the debate on the origin of
Saturn's moon, Phoebe.

Saturn long ago captured its largest outermost satellite, Phoebe, when
the moon wandered in from the frigid region beyond the orbit of Neptune
called the Kuiper belt, they conclude.

The scientists analyzed results from the Cassini Visual and Infrared
Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) taken during the June 11 Cassini
spacecraft's Phoebe flyby. They announced the results today at a news
conference at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.


Contact Information:
Robert H. Brown
520-626-9045
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Related Web site:
VIMS spectra of Phoebe
Cassini VIMS Homepage
http://wwwvims.lpl.arizona.edu/


Scientists have long doubted that Phoebe came from the same disk of
material that formed Saturn and most of its moons. Phoebe has an
unusual orbit that is inclined to Saturn's equator, revolves backward
with respect to both Saturn's rotation and orbital motion, and travels
in the opposite direction of Saturn's other satellites.

Phoebe is widely believed to have wandered past Saturn and been
captured by that planet's mighty gravitational field. Where it wandered
from was the question.

All our evidence leads us to conclude that Phoebe's surface is made of
water ice, water-bearing minerals, carbon dioxide, possible clays and
primitive organic chemicals in different locations on the surface,
VIMS team member Roger N. Clark of the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver
said a few days after the flyby. We also see spectral signatures of
materials that we have not yet identified.

It is clear that the materials in Phoebe's surface bear little
resemblance to the predominantly rocky material found in asteroids in
the belt between Mars and Jupiter. The materials that make up Phoebe
formed farther out in the solar system, where it is cold enough for
them to remain stable.

One intriguing result of the VIMS measurements is the discovery of
possible chemical similarities between the materials on Phoebe and
those seen on comets, said VIMS team leader Robert H. Brown of the
University of Arizona.

Short period comets are thought to sit among other primitive solar
system debris in the Kuiper belt, until tugged by Neptune's gravity
toward the inner solar system.

Evidence that Phoebe might be chemically kin to comets strengthens the
case that it's similar to Kuiper Belt Objects.

The VIMS instrument is an imaging spectrometer that produces a special
data set called an image cube. It takes an image of an object in many
colors simultaneously. An ordinary video camera takes images in three
primary colors (red, green, and blue) and combines them to produce
images as seen by the human eye. The VIMS instrument takes images in
352 separate colors, spanning a realm of colors far beyond those
visible to humans. All materials reflect light in a unique way. So
molecules of any element or compound can be identified by the colors
they reflect or absorb, their signature spectra. The VIMS team knew
the basic chemical make-up of Phoebe only a few days after flyby.

That Phoebe likely comes from the Kuiper belt and not from the
Mars-Jupiter asteroid belt is another first for the Cassini mission,
Brown noted. Cassini has become the first spacecraft to flyby a Kuiper
belt object, he said.

Cassini flew by Phoebe on June 11. Cassini will conduct a critical
96-minute main-engine burn before going into orbit around Saturn on
June 30 (July 1 Universal Time). During Cassini's planned four-year
tour it will conduct 76 orbits around the Saturn system and execute 52
close encounters with seven of Saturn's 31 known moons.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Office of
Space Science, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard
cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The VIMS team is
based at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Hi List, 
 
I was going to save this for later but here goes , I have what looks 
like a paired stone to Michel Franco's Sahara 03500 
 But this stone is somewhat 
different as it shows clearly what looks like chondrules in the darker material. 

Someone has stated that he thinks Michel's 
stone is a huge clast, Michel's stone doesn't show any of this chondrule 
material like my stone does, and if paired with Michel's stone could show the 
reason why Michel has a problem with his classification . I am not going 
to speculate any further on this one, I will leave it up to the Scientists if 
they so choose to investigate this stone further. 
 

 Anyway here is the 
link to a huge picture of a 44 gram main mass of my stone that was originally 69 
grams. Please excuse the crude web site.

[meteorite-list] Cassini Opens A Cosmic Time Capsule (Phoebe)

(Phone: 818/354-9382)

RELEASE: 04-202

CASSINI OPENS A COSMIC TIME CAPSULE

 Like a woolly mammoth trapped in Arctic ice, Saturn's 
small moon Phoebe may be a frozen artifact of a bygone era, 
some four billion years ago. The finding is suggested by new 
data from the Cassini spacecraft.

Cassini scientists reviewed data from the spacecraft's June 
11, 2004, flyby of the diminutive moon. They concluded Phoebe 
is likely a primordial mixture of ice, rock and carbon-
containing compounds similar in many ways to material seen in 
Pluto and Neptune's moon Triton. Scientists believe bodies 
like Phoebe were plentiful in the outer reaches of the solar 
system about four and half billion years ago.

These icy planetesimals (small bodies) formed the building 
blocks of the outer solar system and some were incorporated 
into the giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. 
During this process, gravitational interactions ejected much 
of this material to distant orbits, joining a native 
population of similar bodies to form the Kuiper Belt.

Phoebe apparently stayed behind, trapped in orbit about the 
young Saturn, waiting eons for its secrets to be revealed 
during its rendezvous with the Cassini spacecraft, said Dr. 
Torrence Johnson, Cassini imaging team member at NASA's Jet 
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, Calif.

All our evidence leads us to conclude, Phoebe's surface is 
made of water ice, water-bearing minerals, carbon dioxide, 
possible clays and primitive organic chemicals in patches at 
different locations on the surface, said Dr. Roger N. Clark, 
team member for the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer, 
U.S. Geological Survey in Denver. We also see spectral 
signatures of materials we have not yet identified. 
Cassini's observations gave scientists the first detailed 
look at one of these primitive icy planetesimals.

Phoebe's mass was determined from precise tracking of the 
spacecraft and optical navigation, combined with an accurate 
volume estimate from images. The measurements yield a density 
of about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter (100 pounds per cubic 
foot), much lighter than most rocks, but heavier than pure 
ice at approximately 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter (58 
pounds per cubic foot). This suggests a composition of ice 
and rock similar to Pluto and Triton.

Spectral measurements, light intensity as a function of color 
or wavelength, confirmed the presence of water ice previously 
detected by Earth-based telescopes. The measurements provided 
evidence for hydrated minerals on Phoebe's surface, detected 
carbon dioxide and solid hydrocarbons similar to those found 
in primitive meteorites.
 
One intriguing result is the discovery of possible chemical 
similarities between the materials on Phoebe and those seen 
on comets, said Dr. Robert H. Brown, team leader for the 
Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer, University of 
Arizona, Tucson. Evidence Phoebe might be chemically kin to 
comets strengthens the case it is similar to Kuiper Belt 
Objects.

Measurements taken by the Composite Infrared Spectrometer 
were used to generate temperature maps. The maps show the 
surface of Phoebe is very cold, only about 110 degrees above 
absolute zero (-163 degrees Celsius, or -261 degrees 
Fahrenheit). Even colder nighttime temperatures suggest a 
fluffy, porous surface layer.

One of the first results from this map is the surface of 
Phoebe has been badly chewed up, probably by meteorite 
impacts, said Dr. John Pearl, a Cassini co-investigator for 
the Composite Infrared Spectrometer, at NASA's Goddard Space 
Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. We are discovering Phoebe is a 
very complex object, with large variations in topography.

Cassini also made radar observations of Phoebe's enigmatic 
surface, making it the first spacecraft radar observations of 
an outer-planet moon. The results are consistent with the 
dirty, rocky, icy surface suggested by other observations.

We have conducted our first analysis of an outer solar 
system resident akin to Kuiper Belt Objects, said Dr. Dennis 
Matson, project scientist of the Cassini-Huygens mission at 
JPL. In two short weeks, we have added more to what we know 
about Phoebe than we had learned about it since it was 
discovered 100 years ago. We did this by having multiple 
instruments conducting investigations all at one time during 
our flyby, Matson said.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, 
the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. JPL 
manages the mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, 
Washington. For the latest images and more information about

[meteorite-list] Any Old Bootids?

2004-06-23 Thread Notkin
Dear Listees:
Greetings. Thanks to Jim Strope for posting info about the Bootids 
meteor shower, earlier this week. Did anyone try observing last night?

I went out for three fairly short sessions between about 10:45 pm and 
1:30 am, and saw eight meteors, two of which were nice and bright, 
and another two of which were probably erratics. Will try again on 
June 26/27 for the second predicted/possible peak.

This was my first time observing a meteor shower since moving to 
Tucson in January of this year. What a difference from New York! On 
the East Coast we had to drive 50 miles to get away from city lights 
and then deal with cloud cover, mosquitoes, cold nights, etc. In dark 
sky-friendly N.W. Tucson, I just put the deck chair out in the garden 
and kick back with a cocktail. Sweet!  : )

In other news, I'd like to mention that I recently visited the Lowell 
Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ. The observatory is beautifully situated 
on a hilltop just outside of Flagstaff, and offers night viewings 
most evenings. We were treated to an exceptional view of globular 
clusters M5 and M13, and a binary star pair, through the impressive, 
vintage Clark telescope -- the very one through which Pluto was 
discovered! There is a modest meteorite display at the Lowell, 
consisting of a hefty Canyon Diablo, a nice large Holbrook, a Brenham 
part slice, some tektites, and a Plainview individual and part slice 
with Nininger number.

Admission for the night viewing is only five bucks or $4 if you're 
AAA or a senior. Well worth it if you're in the area, but be prepared 
for a lot of kids, and of course some clown always has to be told to 
turn off their flashlight  : )

Watch the skies!

There are a couple of COMETS members from Colorado Springs as well as the surrounding area. Not sure if they are all on this list but you could contact them through the COMETS Yahoo groupslist. Since you are moving you might consider joining the club. This would go for anyone in Colorado as well as outside the state.
For those of you who are not familiar with the club we started over 4 years ago. We hold monthly meetings in Denver and occasionally in the Springsas well. We try to have a topic or themerelated to meteorites. Right now we have 35 members on our email list with at least 25 of those from in state. Most meetings have 10-15 members attending. So if anyone wants to attend our meetings please sign up for our Yahoo group. We meet at different times each month so that is the only way to find out when the meeting is. I almost forgot to mention we hold a lot of meetings at one of the club members ice cream shop. There is no better way finish a meeting than with a big scoop of cold hand made ice cream.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/COMeteoriteClub/
Good luck in the Springs. I'm sure you will love it.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Mike

Hallo List,

for all of you who are interested, I have updated my hompage with some nice 
photos of the Ensisheim Meteoriteshow last weekend in France.
Here is the link:

http://www.strufe.net

click on the button "Ensisheim 2004" and take a look.
The photos are as always in a higher resolution and can take some seconds 
to download.

There had never been so many meteorite dealers in Ensisheim than this 
year.
All was verygood organized from Zelimir Gabelica. Well done 
Zelimir.
The dealers showed excellent material and we all had a lot of fun 
together.
What do you want more ?

Enjoy the photos and I hope to seeall ofyou next year

Re: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim Show 2004 - Photos

2004-06-23 Thread Alexander Seidel
Folks!

Big applause to my fellow German meteorite collector
friend Hanno for providing a very nice set of Jpegs
of people and situations at the Ensisheim show in
Alsace, France, this last weekend. Wish I could have
been there (..as I was last year, and will be again,
hopefully, next year..).

Apart from Nick Gessler, where were all you American
meteorite-addicts, both dealers and collectors? Hey,
this is the biggest meteorite show on the old continent,
may be not really comparable to both Tucson and Denver
in terms of size alone, but quite DIFFERENT in terms of
historical significance of the place itself, if you
think of that Ensisheim stone that fell nearby, and which
is now displayed there right in front of your eyes

Enjoy Hanno´s pics: http://www.strufe.net/ensisheim_2004.htm

Best wishes,
Alex
Berlin, Germany

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rover Update - June 23, 2004

2004-06-23 Thread Ron Baalke

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html

SPIRIT UPDATE: 'Pot-of-Gold' Revealed - sol 161-163, 
June 23, 2004

Spirit currently sits at the base of the Columbia Hills 
in an area called the Hank Moore Hollow. This area has 
a collection of intriguing rocks on its rim, one of 
which, Pot-of-Gold, will be the first target for 
scientists' observations.

Spirit used the microscopic imager to get an up close 
view of Pot-of-Gold on sol 161, but unfortunately, the 
images were out of focus. Rover planners attribute the 
blurry shots to a lower than expected rock contact 
prior to the imaging sequence. Spirit did successfully 
acquire Mossbauer observations of Pot-of-Gold on this sol.

On sol 162, Spirit was commanded to retake the 
microscopic images of Pot-of-Gold and do extensive 
observations with the Mossbauer and alpha particle 
X-ray spectrometer instruments. The microscopic images 
were successfully obtained, but a positioning fault of 
the instrument deployment device prevented the Mossbauer 
and alpha particle X-ray spectrometer observations from 
executing.

Spirit successfully completed the work with its 
instrument deployment device on sol 163, and took some 
additional microscopic images of Pot-of-Gold.

Childish farmer-matteo thing?  What do you find childish about lieing,
blatant fraud, overt deception and common thievery?  Mike Farmer deserves a
thank you and for one, has my thanks.  Mike went out there put himself on
the frontline.  He had the fortitude to do something, actually take action,
and do something about it!  Mike alerted all of us to this blot on the
meteorite community and then, Actually Did Something About It!  I say Thank
You Mike Farmer for having the guts to take care of the problem.  Jack

[meteorite-list] Address change and a few updates

2004-06-23 Thread Adam Hupe
Dear List,

I now have a new email address because of moving.  I have not been receiving
email at my old address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] for weeks so if for some
reason you were trying to reach me, you can contact me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .  If you need my street address please email me
off-List.  I have been extremely busy but the good news is that our
collection is completely cataloged and several new extremely rare
classifications have come in.

Greg is moving to Lakeland Florida and I moved 32 miles away to a place
called Titlow Beach were I have been enjoying sunsets, beach combing and
hiking.  Unfortunately there is an awesome pub across the street were I have
been spending far too much time being entertained by the locals.  We have
several expeditions planned so we will be quite busy this summer.  We will
continue to update between expeditions.

A quick update on the June 3rd bolide sightings.  We pursued over a half a
dozen leads with no success at this point.  We have two promising leads
where material has been recovered and sent to the University of Washington.
Our fingers are crossed that one or the other will be meteoritic.

Wishing everybody the best,

Adam Hupe

You know the drill Matteo...you have to unsubscribe yourself.
In parting, I think I can speak for a majority of list members when I say 
that we have a great deal of affection and respect for European meteorite

Amen brother John.  I can also say that Art (the moderator of this 
list), must be one of the most forgiving souls that I have ever met.  If 
everyone can recall Matteo's Proud Tom spoof website of his own 
creation, to where Art licks the of Mike Farmer and Art the 
Rabbit and the sorts.  For Art to allow Matteo back on the list with 
another email address shows GREAT forgiveness on his part.  Too bad 
Matteo had to take it to the next level with eBay.  NO one on this list 
has any hard feeling for any European collector, Asian collector, or any 
race/creed whatsoever.  We all have a common bond and an enthusiasm for 
meteorites. The only rascist I see on the list is Matteo himself.  He's 
the one with the Al-Qaeda mentality here...no one else.

Best wishes to all, and to all a good night!
(Let's hope for a surprise meteor shower Saturday night!)
