[meteorite-list] Mundrabilla designation question
Sal list, in painting my specimen chits, I ask myself, how to denominate Mundrabilla correctly. Old Catalogue has simply IRANOM, 2000er Grady Catalogue says IIICD and anomalous, now with the finer Au-stuff and the subgroups, I read, that Mundrabilla and Waterville are close to sLL. Shall I write now IAB-ANOM? Will the anomalous disappear, if the five-of-a-kind-rule for the subgroup is fullfilled and beside Waterville, three other Mundrabilla-like irons will habe been found? Or refers the anom to the troilites, silicates or to the smallness of the taenite crystals (which make etched Mundrabillas to the most beautiful irons, one can imagine. One of my favourites)? Thanks!

Hello List, My source from which I formed my opinion is the paper by J. T. Wasson and G. W. Kallemeyn, The IAB iron-meteorite complex: A group, five subgroups, numerous grouplets, closely related, mainly formed by crystal segregation in rapidly cooling melts, which was published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, vol 66, no. 13, pp. 2445-2473, 2002. It's a good read.

Re: [meteorite-list] Mundrabilla designation question
Hello Martin and List. According to Wasson and Kallemeyn (2002) Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, Vol. 66, No. 13, pp. 24452473. The members of the Mundrabilla duo, Waterville (1.63) and Mundrabilla (1.64), are FeS-rich irons, closely related to each other in structure and composition. They are within the sLL scatter field on most diagrams, but plot slightly low on the Ga-, Ge-, and W-Au diagrams. Because of these discrepancies and their very high FeS contents, we list them as ungrouped but they could also be designated anomalous members of the sLL subgroup. Hope this helps! -John Dawn Arizona Skies Meteorites Martin Altmann wrote: Sal list, in painting my specimen chits, I ask myself, how to denominate Mundrabilla correctly.

[meteorite-list] Uvlade Texas Crater Contorversy
To save the list from the inane registration process at MySanantonio.com site here is the article: * Will 'Rosetta Stone' prove Uvalde crater? * * Web Posted: 01/16/2005 12:00 AM CST * * Zeke MacCormack San Antonio Express-News * UVALDE The origin of a 2-mile-wide depression outside this town has been debated for decades, but a local scientist now claims to have solid evidence that it's a meteorite crater. Bobby Graham rests his case on a rock, measuring roughly 3 feet by 2 feet, he found in October off U.S. 83 about 15 miles south of the city. He's convinced that the object he calls the Uvalde Crater Rosetta Stone was part of the ground where a 300-foot wide meteorite crashed to Earth some 30 million years ago. I've got the goods, said Graham, 74, who took on the mystery after retiring from Sandia National Laboratories, a federal nuclear weapons facility, in 1996. But other scientists are awaiting the results of further investigations of the rock, including core sampling and microscopic inspections, before reaching any conclusions. Graham said swirls on the top of the 150-pound caramel-colored rock suggest it was once molten. Its middle features small teardrops of stone, some tinged in red, and the bottom is normal native sandstone. Its varied features reflect the changes the rock underwent in a split second upon impact, when all the extreme temperature and pressure was involved, said Graham, whose specialty during his 38-year career at Sandia was the effects of high-pressure shock compression. He'll present his findings in March at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston. It's not just fascinating; it's important, scientifically, to the world to understand these craters, Graham said. We're sending spacecraft to look at craters all over the solar system, but we can learn things here, too. He predicts scientists and tourists alike will flock to see the unusual rock, which will anchor a display at the city's new library on what may prove to be the fourth known meteorite crater in Texas. Joining him in addressing the Houston conference will be William Feathergail Feather Wilson, a geologist who, with son Douglas, is credited with identifying the purported crater in 1979 while on a field trip with Trinity University students. In this area, the rocks are deformed in an extreme fashion, stuff is upside down, it's blown out and there's a lot of folding, said Wilson, a Bandera County resident. He says Graham's analysis of the Rosetta Stone bolsters the theory on which the scientific community has waffled that a meteorite created the 1,500-foot depression, which has since been filled in. I've always believed it (was a meteorite crater) because we couldn't come up with any other conclusion, said Wilson, who first reported his findings in Geology magazine in 1979. The site was included but later removed from the Earth Impact Data Base maintained by the Planetary and Space Science Center at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. It was delisted because deformed quartz found there which supported the meteorite strike theory was later found far away, Wilson said. If proven to be a crater, Wilson said, it's important from the standpoint that out of the 130 to 150 craters on Earth, almost all of those have been found in hard rocks. Very few have been found in soft water-saturated sedimentary rocks like those around Uvalde. Fred Horz, who's familiar with craters from running a NASA experimental impact lab, is convinced that a meteorite hit caused the crater, but he said Wilson's extensive investigation which included use of seismic mapping was more convincing than Graham's rock. All of the rock strata all over southern Texas are basically flat-laying deposits, he said. In this area, for some reason, they are severely fragmented and broken up and even demonstrably transported. After traveling to see the rock last month, Horz didn't shy from sharing some good-natured differences of opinion with Graham. It's just a question of interpretation. He sees impact melts and I don't, Horz said. I don't see shocked rocks. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Check out (AD)
Greetings all, I have changed the format of the Tucson Auction On Line Catalog to 4 pages - 25 items each, to allow for faster download for those who do not have high speed systems yet. I had heard it took about 5 minutes to download the way it was. This should work out to under 1.5 minutes per page for those with old modums. Please let me know what you think is this an improvement? RSVP off line.
