RE: [meteorite-list] shock effect?
Frank wrote: Much of the ring structure appears to parallel the shape of the meteorite suggesting to me that weathering is responsible for the major part of what we are seeing, especially if, as I suspect, it was found on a now not so dry lake. Well, it is a lake bed find, but that parallel shape is a coincidence on this one face. The back side of that slice (2mm away) looks like this: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~jlp3/images/M0301-7.jpg And the end that I cut off for the type sample didn't show it at all. It seems to be a local phenomenon. Contributing to my suspicion that it is a shock effect are pre-terrestrial (fused by the fusion crust where they meet it) cracks concentrically arranged farther out from the dark area.

[meteorite-list] Does this NWA look familiar to anyone?
I've just bought what to me is a very interesting looking unclassified NWA piece, and I was wondering it looks distinctivly like any numbered NWA find to anyone-- in other words, is it a piece from a known find. It has a very dark, possibly greenish matrix, brecciation, and as far as I can tell from the photos, it seem to have a low metal content. I of course can take much better photos when it reaches me, but I was hoping it might jump out at someone. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=6506068469 __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] NPA 08-31-1949 Allegan Meteorite Fell Years Ago
Paper: Holland Evening Sentinel City: Holland, Michigan Date: Wednesday, August 31, 1949 Page: 8 Meteorite Fell Fifty Years Ago Allegan, Aug. 31. - In the summer of 1899, 50 years ago, an earth-shaking roar startled residents in the Thomas hill vicinity near Allegan. It was a fiery meteorite. Many natives of the area remember the excitement that the natural phenomenon caused. Residents in the vicinity heard a sudden rumbling. A swish, similar to a sky rocket, was reported. The meteorite crashed into the earth. It was reported the rumble could be heard from the lake shore to Barry county. Young and old hurried to the scene to get souvenirs. Largest piece found weighed 62 1/2 pounds. A four-pound piece was salvaged. Many youths made pocket change by selling broken cement bits to uninformed spectators. The meteorite fell in a year near a street construction job. Amateur astronomists believed the meteorite was a stray from an expected shower of falling stars, due the following Nov. 13.

[meteorite-list] NWA 12-18-1950 Chudd Crater Discovered
Paper: Reno Gazette City: Reno, Nevada Date: Monday, December 18, 1950 Page: 4 Meteorite Crater? Stories of Skies By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Migher Education System Huge depressions surrounded by high rims of broken rock and situated on otherwise level plains have been found In several places on the earth. In recent times it seems certain that these have been blasted out by the descent of stony or metallic missiles from the great inter-planetary spaces. The best known of about a dozen such holes is the famous Barringer Meteorite crater in Arizona, an almost circular depression approximately 4000 feet across. The top of the rim varies from 120 to 160 feet above the surrounding plain and the inside floor is about 600 feet below the rim. Terrific upheaval of the original strata occurred at the time of impact for huge boulders, some as large as an ordinary house, make up a considerable part of the rim. In the rim and scattered for miles around on the plain, tons of metallic meteorites have been found. Now we learn of another crater, recently discovered in the north-western part of Quebec sound of Baffin Island, which dwarfs considerably the Arizona depression. It is about 2 ½ miles across from rim to rim, and the top of the rim stands 550 feet above the plain. Unlike the Arizona crater, this latest depression contains a lake, the surface of which is somewhat higher than the surfaces of the numerous small lakes in the surrounding plain. Last June when it was first examined by a scientific expedition, the water surface in places was covered by ice three feet thick. It is said that this crater, which is located in an unfrequented part of the world, was first noted on aerial photographs by a prospector Fred W. Chubb. This was reported to the Globe-Telegram of Toronto. This paper was instrumental in organizing a scientific expedition, which included Dr. V. Ben Meen of the Royal Ontario museum. Although no meteorites have been found among the boulders of rim or on the surrounding plain during the short preliminary investigation, Dr. Meen feels quite certain the formation is due to the action of a huge meteorite and is not volcanic in nature. He believes the tearing from the plain of likely ten billions of tons of granite which forms the rim, took place sometime between 1000 and 3000 B.C. Further study is planned next summer when magnetic methods will be used to try to locate meteoritical material and to determine if a large mass is likely beneath the lake. The scientists are sure no glacial action has taken place since the crater was formed. The explorers hoped they were the first campers ever in that locality, but the finding of a tin can blasted their hopes. One member in anger threw it away. Later when they wanted to see if it contained a message, they could not find it. Excellent pictures of the crater and the exploring party are carried in the October number of Griffith Observer published in Los Angeles. Time for Aug. 14 and other publications discussed the subject.

Hey list, life is getting extra boring here in little old Kingman, I need some excitement and nothing excites me more than a trade, well that's not completely true, but It may be unclassified, but is it one of my nicer meteorites. You have seen it before, but it is so much nicer in person! It is brecciaed with a light gray fine matrix full of odd shaped inclusions and a white part that has a rougher texture and has some actual chondrules. Before you say it looks like NWA 869 you had better take a gander at it's crust, if it is NWA869 then it has the nicest blackest and freshest crust ever to grace an 869!!! It weighs in at an even 33 grams but size is not every thing, this thing is nicer than a lot of meteorites twice it's size!!! : ) If you like it, I can send bigger pics to you.

The best known of about a dozen such holes is the famous Barringer Meteorite crater in Arizona, an almost circular depression approximately 4000 feet across. The top of the rim varies from 120 to 160 feet above the surrounding plain and the inside floor is about 600 feet below the rim. Terrific upheaval of the original strata occurred at the time of impact for huge boulders, some as large as an ordinary house, make up a considerable part of the rim. In the rim and scattered for miles around on the plain, tons of metallic meteorites have been found. Now we learn of another crater, recently discovered in the north-western part of Quebec sound of Baffin Island, which dwarfs considerably the Arizona depression. It is about 2 ½ miles across from rim to rim, and the top of the rim stands 550 feet above the plain. Unlike the Arizona crater, this latest depression contains a lake, the surface of which is somewhat higher than the surfaces of the numerous small lakes in the surrounding plain. Last June when it was first examined by a scientific expedition, the water surface in places was covered by ice three feet thick. It is said that this crater, which is located in an unfrequented part of the world, was first noted on aerial photographs by a prospector Fred W. Chubb. This was reported to the Globe-Telegram of Toronto. This paper was instrumental in organizing a scientific expedition, which included Dr. V. Ben Meen of the Royal Ontario museum. Although no meteorites have been found among the boulders of rim or on the surrounding plain during the short preliminary investigation, Dr. Meen feels quite certain the formation is due to the action of a huge meteorite and is not volcanic in nature. He believes the tearing from the plain of likely ten billions of tons of granite which forms the rim, took place sometime between 1000 and 3000 B.C. Further study is planned next summer when magnetic methods will be used to try to locate meteoritical material and to determine if a large mass is likely beneath the lake. The scientists are sure no glacial action has taken place since the crater was formed. The explorers hoped they were the first campers ever in that locality, but the finding of a tin can blasted their hopes. One member in anger threw it away. Later when they wanted to see if it contained a message, they could not find it. Excellent pictures of the crater and the exploring party are carried in the October number of Griffith Observer published in Los Angeles. Time for Aug. 14 and other publications discussed the subject.

Keith posted: Titan Missile Museum Dave posted: My dad used to be an electrician at this site . . . I'd very much like to see this site Dear Dave, Keith and Tucson-bound Listees: I'd like to second Keith's fine recommendation for the Titan Missile Museum. Geoff Cintron and I visited two years ago and it's a great half-day trip from Tucson. Star Trek fans -- and I know you're out there -- will be doubly interested in this museum, as it was used as a set for the movie Star Trek: First Contact (yeah, it was the launch silo for Zefram Cockram's experimental warp drive rocket). Also, the Pima Air and Space Museum, just at the southern edge of greater Tucson, is stellar. I've been TWICE in the past six months. The list of aircraft they have there is almost endless, but fellow space program nuts will definitely want to see the Super Guppy (used to fly the Saturn 5 booster to Cape Kennedy) and one of two actual B-52s that launched the X-15 to the edge of space. Not to mention JFK's private plane, a B-17, an immaculate B-29, a family of MIGs and . . . well, literally, you could spend the whole day there. Details: http://www.pimaair.org In the gift shop, you can even buy old cockpit instruments from scrapped B-52s and such, so don't spend all your $$ at the Gem Show : ) It was 78 degrees and sunny today in Tucson -- not a cloud in the sky -- so we're hoping for similar weather for the show.

Hi Geoff, the Saturn 5 booster to Cape Kennedy) and one of two actual B-52s that launched the X-15 to the edge of space.

I recently took a trip to the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robbins Air Force Base in Warner Robbins, Georgia. I specifically went to see an actual SR71 Blackbird, all of which no longer fly. Unfortunately, the Air Force was having some sort of ceremony in the hanger in which it is stored and I could not get in. ARGH! Want to see the coolest aviation history website?

Hi Walter...you've got to check out the SR-71 here in Tucson! It's gorgeous! They've also got a superb F-4U Corsair, a beautiful B-24 and numerous other amazing aircraft! -John Walter Branch wrote: Hi Geoff, the Saturn 5 booster to Cape Kennedy) and one of two actual B-52s that launched the X-15 to the edge of space.
