Re: [meteorite-list] Tissint and IOM on KNME-PBS
Hi Shaw All: The most recent findings will be reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, next month in Houston, by Irving et al. Here is the link to the session New Martian Meteorites and New Perspectives on Old Favorites: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2012/pdf/sess204.pdf It is still is early days. In the PBS segment they show some SEM images that we made of Tissint in our first exploratory electron microprobe session. Something that really impressed me with this meteorite are the very nice melt pools scattered throughout. These are not shocked maskelynite glass (that's there too), but true glass melt pockets decorated with very fine quench crystal boundaries. May or may not be formed by shock. Obviously the glass will be a target for studies of martian volatile compounds. The organics are also being studied. At this point the main attraction is the freshness of Tissint. This is particularly important because it makes it easier to interpret the data as a true witness of martian surface processes, not clouded by terrestrial contamination. Stay tuned.. Carl -- Carl B.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tissint and IOM on KNME-PBS
Hi MikeG, Not a stupid question at all. As far as I know anyone can register to attend the LPSC. It is not by invitation only, but there is a fee for registration, here is the meeting webpage: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2012/ There are usually something like 2000 papers presented as talks or posters during the week. Of course the sessions tend to be technical, but some are fairly accessible, I often just drop in on session that is far outside my field out of curiosity and to learn something new. I would guess that the Tuesday and Thursday evening poster sessions would be great browsing for a meteorite/planetary science enthusiast. Carl -- Carl B.

I know nothing about how meetings like the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference work. But I assume it is an invitation-only event for scientists. If a curious layman wanted attend such a meeting, would that be possible? Has a layman ever sat in on such a meeting and just quietly soaked up the presentations and lectures? Or, alternately, has a meeting like this ever been broadcast via streaming video on the web, or taped for viewing later by others who could not attend in person? I realize it would be a lot of video to watch, but I think it would be very interesting to watch something like this - even if I didn't fully understand much of what was being said.

Carl Listers, Carl thank you for providing the clip. I am excited to see that some science channels are talking about the Tissint fall. By chance have you found any new insights in the meteorite that haven't been seen in other Mars meteorite falls? Or is this still in the early phases of conducting experiments?
