Re: [meteorite-list] A meteorite fall in Estonia?
Hallo all! As quite often in the newspapers, there is something not correct. At moment Reet Tiirmaa and lo Kestlane from Tallinn are collecting the reports of eyewitnesses on Saaremaa and Vilsandi. There was a fireball over western part of Estonia. It was witnessed from small island Vilsandi, off the west coast of bigger island Saaremaa /in the old German literature and maps also as Oesel/. 58.23N, 21.49E http://www.atlas.ibs.ee A very brigt fireball was seen 20. Nov. 2002, 12.30GMT The fireball was seen during 7-8 sec in clear sky (sunshine) from SE to NW The very loud thunder-like noise followed ca 1,5 min later. *** In addition to this in the newspaper was also, that a meteorite ca 2-3 kg fell into sea and so one of the witnesses lost 300 000 USD Tnu Pani This sighting occurred the day after the Norway event: -- Forward Message Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2002 14:40:17 +0300 From: "Andrei Ol'khovatov" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: (meteorobs) A meteorite fall in Estonia?

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Identification
For many of us, with regards to the more common types meteorite identification is fairly straightforward. Chondrites most of us could easily identify. And many of the achondrites are fairly easy to spot as well. But the final word, when questions of authenticity exist lie with institutions aligned with the Meteoritical Society; Nomenclature Committee. Recently much dispute has occurred over alleged lunar and Martian samples. These are difficult to identify, for unless they possess a clearly defined fusion crust they resemble terrestrial rocks so closely that it would take a sharp eye to sort them out from ordinary rocks. And even should one do so, and have what they suspect to be a lunar or Martian meteorite, it is not to be said that such is the case until the Meteoritical Society, Nomenclature Committee confirms it. Provisional or official NWA, DAG, Dhofar, and other such #'s are not arbitrarily assigned, nor are they to be assigned by the finder. Such is the domain of the Nomenclature Committee. With new meteorite finds... It is not officially a meteorite, lunar, planetary, or asteroidal with a name until the Meteoritical Society confirms it. With this in mind all new finds must not only pass the tests and analysis of a reputable institution(s), but be accepted by the Meteoritical Society, Nomenclature Committee. That is the bottom line.

[meteorite-list] WOW, another one cent ebay sale tonight!
Well, I hope everyone in the USA is preparing for a nice holiday weekend, but before you go, be sure to see my ebay stuff tonight, over 60 items ending ALL started at one cent. Many items worth several hundred dollars. Many meteorites are still at one cent. Last minute bidding always takes them up but many end very close together, so that leaves little time to bid on multiple items. Also, last night I loaded some VERY LARGE high DOLLAR meteorite, also all for one cent, and tomorrow will add more, some pieces worth over $2000 will be loaded for one cent, no reserve. They will all end on Tuesday. There will be some interesting battles for those items, go take a look, you will be shocked at what you see for sale without reserve. Save up your pennies and get ready to rumble. Thanks Mike Farmer http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Hello Harlan, Your message comes a few days too soon for me, because I'm busy at this very moment writing my article for next month's MeteoriteTimes.com on this very subject. I hope my article will answer all of the questions you posed to your satisfaction. I'll also have plenty of images of some more of those little blobs of glorieta which have been recently found. For now, I've got to get back to writing that article, but I think Ron Hartman might have some good news to report regarding his results after having etched some of these blobs.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite To Go On Public Display in Melbourne, Australia
http://www.abc.net.au/gippsland/news/reggip-27nov2002-2.htm Meteorite to go on public display Australian Broadcasting Corporation November 27, 2002 A meteorite dug up by a farmer at Willow Grove, near Moe in south Gippsland, will be exhibited at the Melbourne Museum next week. Dave Buckley found a nine kilogram meteorite and a smaller one in the 1990s while ploughing a paddock. The iron meteorite was unique because of its crystalline structure and nickel content. Curator in geology Bill Birch says other meteorites have been found at Oberon Bay and Bendoc. The Bendoc one, we'd love to have that one on display - it's one of the oldest ones, it was found in a creek-bed in the late 1890s and it ended up in the NSW Department of Mines, but it's been lost, he said. We have sort of put out search warrants for it, but it may well have been something that because it was falling to bits, it may well have been thrown out. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
