Re: [meteorite-list] Slikensides ?
Dear Michel, Slickensides are formed whenever two tectonic plates or two beds are forced under great pressure against one another, often this is the case in mountain formation and in earthquakes of a large magnitude. I have several samples from around the world. It can also be observed in meteorites such as Zag. Sorry I don't have any references here in Tokyo. I can provide photos if given some time.

[meteorite-list] Question - Two recovered falls / same day
Dear List Members, I have a question perhaps one of you could helpme with. I am doing some research regarding a particular witnessed fall. I was wondering in the history of recovered falls if two different types ever fell on the same month day and year in two different locations?This may be a question for Anne Black or Bernd Pauli as they both have excellent data bases regarding this type of thing. I tried myCatalog of meteorites CDbut it is scratched, as luck would have it. All the best, Adam Hupe
[meteorite-list] NASA Solves Half-Century Old Moon Mystery
Don Savage Headquarters, Washington February 20, 2003 (Phone: 202/358-1727) DC Agle Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. (Phone: 818/393-9011) RELEASE: 03-077 NASA SOLVES HALF-CENTURY OLD MOON MYSTERY In the early morning hours of Nov. 15, 1953, an amateur astronomer in Oklahoma photographed what he believed to be a massive, white-hot fireball of vaporized rock rising from the center of the moon's face. If his theory was right, Dr. Leon Stuart would be the first and only human in history to witness and document the impact of an asteroid-sized body impacting the moon's scarred exterior. Almost a half-century, numerous space probes and six manned lunar landings later, what had become known in astronomy circles, as Stuart's Event was still an unproven, controversial theory. Skeptics dismissed Stuart's data as inconclusive and claimed the flash was a result of a meteorite entering Earth's atmosphere. That is, until Dr. Bonnie J. Buratti, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, and Lane Johnson of Pomona College, Claremont, Calif., took a fresh look at the 50-year- old lunar mystery. Stuart's remarkable photograph of the collision gave us an excellent starting point in our search, said Buratti. We were able to estimate the energy produced by the collision. But we calculated that any crater resulting from the collision would have been too small to be seen by even the best Earth-based telescopes, so we looked elsewhere for proof. Buratti and Lane's reconnaissance of the 35-kilometer (21.75- mile) wide region where the impact likely occurred led them to observations made by spacecraft orbiting the moon. First, they dusted off photographs taken from the Lunar Orbiter spacecraft back in 1967, but none of the craters appeared a likely candidate. Then they consulted the more detailed imagery taken from the Clementine spacecraft in 1994. Using Stuart's photograph of the lunar flash, we estimated the object that hit the moon was approximately 20 meters (65.6 feet) across, and the resulting crater would be in the range of one to two kilometers (.62 to 1.24 miles) across. We were looking for fresh craters with a non-eroded appearance, Buratti said. Part of what makes a moon crater look fresh is the appearance of a bluish tinge to the surface. This bluish tinge indicates lunar soil that is relatively untouched by a process called space weathering, which reddens the soil. Another indicator of a fresh crater is that it reflects distinctly more light than the surrounding area. Buratti and Lane's search of images from the Clementine mission revealed a 1.5-kilometer (0.93 mile) wide crater. It had a bright blue, fresh-appearing layer of material surrounding the impact site, and it was located in the middle of Stuart's photograph of the 1953 flash. The crater's size is consistent with the energy produced by the observed flash; it has the right color and reflectance, and it is the right shape. Having the vital statistics of Stuart's crater, Buratti and Lane calculated the energy released at impact was about .5 megatons (35 times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb). They estimate such events occur on the lunar surface once every half-century. To me this is the celestial equivalent of observing a once- in-a-century hurricane, observed Buratti. We're taught the moon is geologically dead, but this proves that it is not. Here we can actually see weather on the moon, she said. While Dr. Stuart passed on in 1968, his son Jerry Stuart offered some thoughts about Buratti and Lane's findings. Astronomy is all about investigation and discovery. It was my father's passion, and I know he would be quite pleased, he said. Buratti and Lane's study appears in the latest issue of the space journal, Icarus. The NASA Planetary Geology and Planetary Astronomy Programs and the National Science Foundation funded Buratti's work. The California Institute of Technology manages JPL for NASA.

Hi Mark and list, Meteorites are cool because they start out really cold in space and don't stay hot for very long after atmospheric entry and landing, with the exception, of course, of those which have landed in the desert during the day but even they would cool off at night, unless of course they immediately became covered with warm camel dung, in which case they would probably remain warm for awhile until they eventually cooled off during the evening hours, only to become warm again the next day. Anyway... meteorites are cool in Antarctica.

Everyone is doing the obvious so I'm going primitive: Meteorites are cool because you can make axes and knives with them many times better than stone and copper. Meteorites are cool because it proof that there is more up there than a dome with pinhole of light in it. And that the gods think enough of us to throw stones down on us from time to time with thunder and flames to give us the heads up.

NASA spokesman John Ira Petty at the Johnson Space Center could not confirm whether NASA or the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) was seeking the help of any meteor experts in California. The premise of this Space.Com article rests entirely on the word of a former shuttle engineer from California. I doubt that he would even qualify as a NASA official, whatever that elusive term means. And, before my nasa.gov email address gets me in trouble by being declared as a NASA source, let me make clear that - neither I, nor any meteor expert that I know of, have been approached by NASA for help. What I can confirm is that a predicted trajectory and probable debris field has already been plotted!! It was calculated by our own List member, Rob Matson, on his own time, at his own expense, without any funding from NASA. His data is published at this URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/debris-locators/files/ Before I went to Tucson earlier this month, I set up a discussion group on YahooGroups so that members of our meteorite-recovery team could have a place (other than existing meteorite-lists) to discuss the O.T. subject of the STS-107 disaster and how best to help NASA locate debris. Before I returned from that Tucson trip, Rob Matson had already calculated and uploaded a map of a ground-track for the Columbia STS-107 re-entry flight path. Once again, this was accomplished before NASA published their web site.

Collecting them has allowed me to meet many new friends I otherwise wouldn't have met , Going placesaround the worldI thought I would never go (to see the various shows) and if you are lucky ,searching for that latest fall . Much more interesting than collecting coins , if you have one 1967 penny the other 1967 pennies are allexactly the same (except for errors or condition). But you could have7 of the same find or fall and every one is unique in it's own way. Much more interesting indeed. Best Regards To All, Steven Drummond "The Unknown Collector" :-)

Hello List, Hello Mark
1) Meteorites are cool, because they brought life
to earth, but also can extinguish life on our planet.
2) Meteorites are cool, because every spacerock has
his own story. It isvery interesting to hear how a meteorite fell to earth
(remember Peekskill), what different storiescame up from different
eyewitnesses ("hey, it glows for hours!!" ;-) and last but not least the stories
from their discoveries (every guy who searched for the "Neuschwanstein"or
any other meteorite knows what I mean!). Meteorites are so cool, that they even
became movie stars in Hollywood That is really COOL!!!

Hello Mark and List Wow, cool answers so far, all of them. Mark, you should be able to put together a really cool program for those children. So, for my entry: Meteorites are cool because everyone in the world can see a meteor blaze through the sky an wonder where it might hit and how long has it traveled to get here. Meteorites are kewl cause they are a window into the past and the formation of our solar system from which scientists learn how the sun, moon and the earth (and other planets) were formed. Meteorites are kewl cause Mark Bostick and the Hupe Brothers have neet contests about them that make even the best of the best realize that just by looking at a rock, you cannot be sure of what it really is.

Re: [meteorite-list] Slikensides ?
Michel, Perhaps I can give you an insight into just what slickensides are all about. A slickenside is a fault surface or fault-plane which exhibits movement and dislocation,frequently warped,broken,and frequently offset. When you see a true slickensides it is polished because the sliding surfaces are under great pressure as they move slowly, opposing surfaces are polished and often striated grooved. If you are thinking of impact structure you will most likely find evidence of directional striations as in a dynamite exposition but you will not see the polishing as evidenced in slickenside.

[meteorite-list] Re: Question - Two recovered falls / same day
Dear Steve D., Frank, Bernd, Anne, Christian and anybody else who I forgot, Thank you for your help regarding twin falls on a single day. I guess I must have been kind of lazy not checking the A to Z book but I forgot that it had all the falls listed in order, this will teach me to dust off good books and read them more than once. Bernd raised a goodpoint about different time zones and latitudes. The reason I asked this question is we are researching a very recent fall that appears to have met thiscriteria and we were wondering how many times this may have occurred in the past. Considering there areonly around1100 recorded falls I findit amazing that two different falls on the same month day and year could be recovered. Apparently thishas happened less than ten times since falls have been tracked. Again, I thank the list for the help.

[meteorite-list] Re: Slickensides ?
Given what Mark says about slickensides, maybe they are in meteorites because, back when it was part of an asteroid, it underwent deformation from strong tidal forces as a result of a close-call with a large planetary body like Jupiter. In any case, until we come up with a better term, I guess we will have to continue to use that s-word - (slickenside). Bob V. Oh, yeah! Meteorites are cool because they have Slickensides!

Dear Listees: Today's interesting posts regarding different meteorites which fell on the same day prompted me to upload this photograph, which is part of a project I've been working on for some time. As many of you are already well aware, some meteorites which have fallen at different times and in different places, bear a striking resemblance to each other. Of particular interest to me are the similarities in surface features between Sikhote-Alin and Taza irons, and I've been looking for individuals from these falls that closely resemble each other.

Re: [meteorite-list] Slikensides ?
Hi Tom and list Tom, slickensides (my books spell it differently than European books) are a feature on a rock face left by movement of rock against it. Sometimes its smooth, sometimes not. Most commonly seen at sites of traverse faulting where the rock on each side of a fault grind against each other. Its a geological term of which I'm sure you've seen too many already. A good book to have at your side sometimes if a dictionary of geological terms.

Some meteorites contain tiny amounts of material that has remained essentially unchanged since even before the Sun itself formed out of the pre-solar nebula.
