Re: [meteorite-list] Alain Carion has a question
I think that the best wayfor recognize this meteorite is to analyse it. In France, EMTT is specialized in iron meteorites studies. With a little 2 mm fragment, it's possible to identify all chemicals ratios and compare it with all iron meteorites databases.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD: PHOTO OF 5 CENT METEORITES
Geez greg, is the new IMCA election win going to your head or did you just have to much to drink again this morning? My apologies if anybody was offended for my sending two sale postings in a week (As part of a total of 4 over a 6 month peroid). But its not like I regularly abuse this rule. Maybe I am using credits built up over the past 6 months when I made no postings at all. I think that maybe times centered around the big shows would maybe have a little leeway to that rule as dealers move new material and promote the show in general. I dont think that my 3 or 4 sale postings over the last 6 months is being a nuissance in an exceptional circumstance (Around a show). Hopefully you are not going to go back to your old ways and start nasty flame wars again. You have been nice for 6 months. Your recent IMCA election win dont make you the list police. And for everybodys info I have been pretty quite for the past 6 months and after I leave munich in a day or two I expect to be pretty quite again for a while - although I do hope to get a small amount of meteorites sent to New Zealand to stick on ebay soon - so with a bit of luck soon I will have ebay meteorites again.

Hi Dean, Thank you for you quick reply. No, I did not just get elected into the IMCA, that is my brother Adam. If you cared a little bit about what you are doing, you would know this. While you were out, Art placed a new rule regarding AD's or Sales,... one a week. I did not see anywhere you could ...(build up) credits Please do not confuse me with my brother, Adam, I am simply replying to your lack of respect for the rules. No need to get nasty and start something... Take care, Greg P.S. You know the rules, in order to live together, we must play together!

Re: [meteorite-list] From when Marc Labenne live in Czech Repubblic?
Cash bills are always the worst way, also from Switzerland to Germany they seem to dissapear. But those guys have paypal and as Czech Republic is part of EU, wire transfers, if they have an account in Euro, are free for all EU-residents. However, to carve figurines from meteorites is for my personal taste highly disgusting, in my eyes any meteorite is much to pity to be treated like this. But it's my personal opinion only. Proposal for them to get wealthy: Carve Hummel figures for Japan, crucifices and madonnae for the US-ultras, Maradonnae for Argentinia, garden gnomes for Germany, chess sets for Russia and Arabia, intimate piercing items for England and Jean-Paul II. busts for Poland. and give me 2% for those ideas + a meteorite beer stein.

[meteorite-list] Steve Arnold Discovers Brenham Main Mass
Dear Friends and Listees: Steve is in the field and has asked me to post the following press release on his behalf. Steve did not quote any prices to the media, so the $12 million figure is just one of those colorful media exaggerations. However, the pallasite is extraordinary and is definitely oriented (something you cannot really see in these photos) -- it's one big nose cone. Additional photos will be forthcoming. The find, at 1,400 pounds, beats the next largest Brenham found by Stockwell in 1949 (1,000 lbs) and therefore becomes the main mass. I'm sure you'll all want to join me in congratulating our friend Steve on this find of a lifetime. I know you all want to see the photos, taken by Steve's partner Phil Mani, so here they are: http://www.aerolite.org/brenham.htm Well done Steve!! Geoff *** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 9, 2005 WORLD RECORD METEORITE UNEARTHED BY HUNTER IN KANSAS A 1,400-pound stony-iron pallasite meteorite found in Kiowa County is the largest of its type ever recovered in the United States, and the third largest in history Steve Arnold, 39, a professional meteorite hunter from Arkansas has found and excavated a meteorite weighing almost three quarters of a ton from a farmer’s field near Haviland, Kansas. The discovery was made in late October using sophisticated metal detecting equipment. It is one of the most valuable meteorite finds ever made in the United States and is of historic and scientific importance. Meteorites — rocks that have fallen to Earth from outer space — are of considerable value to both scientists and private collectors. Meteorite collecting is a growing hobby, with thousands of enthusiasts worldwide willing to pay high prices for these rare sky rocks. Brenham meteorites, named after the Kiowa Country township in Kansas, were first found in the area during the 1890s, when frontier farmers sold a number of them to universities and mineral dealers. Brenham specimens are today on display in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Field Museum in Chicago, and other prominent institutions. They are of a rare type, known as pallasites, which account for only 1% of all known meteorites. Pallasites consist of a nickel-iron matrix full of colorful olivine crystals (the semi-precious gemstone peridot) and are very beautiful when cut and polished. Well prepared pallasite specimens often sell for between twenty and forty dollars per gram. Mr. Arnold’s discovery is the largest pallasite ever found in America, and the largest oriented pallasite meteorite ever found anywhere in the world. An oriented meteorite is one which has traveled through Earth’s atmosphere without spinning and formed a conical or bullet shape as its surface melted. Oriented pallasites are extremely rare and highly prized by museums and private collectors. Steve Arnold was born in Kansas, and has been thinking about Brenham meteorites for more than a decade. “I traveled all over the world hunting for meteorites, but came home to make my most important discovery. I was just sure there were more of them out there waiting to be found,” he said. Mr. Arnold and his partner Phil Mani — a geologist and oil and gas attorney from San Antonio, Texas — made arrangements with local landowners, which allowed them to search for the deeply-buried meteorites. The 1,400-pound specimen was recovered at considerable depth, and a back hoe was needed to lift it. Dr. Art Ehlmann, Curator of the Oscar E. Monnig Meteorite Gallery at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth visited the site last week, and described Mr. Arnold’s discovery as “the most significant American meteorite find in decades.” ### Video footage of the meteorite excavation is available. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Ok people, you are really reading WAYYY to much into what I said. Let me say this, SENDING CASH in the mail is an invitation to THEFT, and when your letter disappears, and then you get angry with the person you were sending the cash to, you do not know if they got it and simply say they did not, or if the post in your country, or in the receiving country stole it, I mean come on, if a customs officer opens and envelope and out falls some $100 bills, how many of you really think they will not simply pocket it? Why anyone should open letters (especialy customs)? Parcels/Boxes yes, but letters ? Communism is over, we are not investigated anymore. :)) Anyway I will say it again. Its depend of how You will send them. If You will put inside envelope (marked as documents) some shop/bank color folders and put inside them bills, then noone will touch them. They are too thick to use lamp to look througn them. I tested this several times. Noone will stole shop advertisements :) BUT. there is alvays some possibilites that they will find them and stole. But who really matter if You sending 20 or 50$ ? Its not big money, no big tragedy at all. Send cash, and you will be sorry sooner or later. I get cash often from eBay sales, I have no problem with getting cash, but if it is lost on the way, then problems for everyone involved. Yes it can sucks and make unnecessary stress. But if buyer cant pay in other way its all on him. I only hope, that Paypal will finally accept Poland to receive money. For now I only can send money.

In fact, the only time I have had trouble with things stolen from an envelope (envelope slit open with a knife, twice) was with two mails to an address in the USA. Because it happened twice on row with mail to that address (and never with mail to other addresses) we were pretty sure the thief was on the *American* side, either with US customs or the local post office of Albuquerque. I also want to point out that Schiphol Amsterdam is one of the biggest freight ports of Europe. As more traffic goes through there than any other place, naturally, there will be more theft incidents, even if the rate of such is very low. - Marco - Dr Marco Langbroek Dutch Meteor Society (DMS) e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] private website http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek DMS website http://www.dmsweb.org - __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi folks, I could not help myself. After reading the eBay ads for these nutty Mars Meteorite boulders for sale for the bargain basement price of 7 million, 3 million and 180,000 dollars. I put an ad on eBay taking the P**S out of them all. You might think there is a bit of a white lie here an there in the text, but everything I say is true with out a word of a lie. The difficult to believe items are, 1) I have been to Uranus, Uranus is a small settlement on the dirt track called Plenty highway in central Northern Territory with corrugations so severe it would rattle any car to pieces and no speed seems to avoid the , that you must travel through on the way to the Boxhole meteorite crater. 2) I speak to spacemen, I have an amateur ticket, with several astronaut contacts behind me. 3) moonstone from a volcano, clear moonstone feldspar is spewed up from some of the volcanic vents around here and lies on the surface with other large crystals slightly dissolved and rounded by the magma on the way up. The ad should be read with a Scottish accent, and I make a pun on the Scottish word for more, which is 'mair' by changing it to 'mare'. I had fun writing it, and it only cost a buck.

Hi Geoff, on behalf of Steve and Phil, Congratulations to Steve and Phil on their tremendous find. I had the pleasure of hearing about the discovery of the Brenham main mass by Phil, and I must say, I can not wait to see it in person and watch the video of the dig for this monster-sized pallasite. You guys put together a great plan for searching and it worked. Now, if we can nominate Steve and Phil for a Harvey Award for their huge find, that would be great. I know that Steve and Geoff would not nominate themselves for one of their coveted awards, but maybe they can add a People's Award for Steve and Phil. What say you Geoff? Great job guys!

http://www.local6.com/news/5297345/detail.html 1,400-Pound Meteorite Found In Kansas Rare Find Is Largest Ever Found In U.S. local6.com November 10, 2005 A man digging in Kansas found a 1,400-pound pallasite meteorite -- the largest ever discovered in the United States. Steve Arnold, who is a professional meteorite hunter, said he found the rare stony-iron pallasite meteorite on a farm near Haviland. It's a gorgeous museum-quality specimen, Arnold said. Arnold used special metal-detecting equipment to find it and needed a backhoe to get it out of the ground. Pallasite meteorites are considered so rare that estimates show they account for only 1 percent of all meteorites on Earth. The meteorite may be worth as much as $12 million, according to a Kansas City television station. http://www.kake.com/news/headlines/1849406.html Record Setting Meteorite Found In Western Kansas KAKE News November 10, 2005 A professional meteorite hunter digs up a huge space rock right here in Kansas. The record rock is the largest of it's type ever found in the U.S. The metorite was discovered in Kiowa County last month. It's an amazing find. It looks like a big piece of scrap metal,but it's a meteorite. It's one of the largest and most valuable in the world and it was found in a farmer's field. Now the farmer is looking forward to cashing in. Kiowa County farmer Allen Binford didn't know what to make of the huge rock but meteorite hunter Steve Arnold did, it's the find of a life time. Arnold, a native Wichitan, has been all over the world searching for meteorites but after doing some research, he learned that these space rocks were popping up everywhere in Western Kansas in the 1800's. So, he decided to see if any were left behind. Sure enough he found one seven and a half feet down in a wheat field. It's a 1400 pound pallasite meteorite. It's the largest of it's type ever recorded in U.S. history and the third largest in the world. The huge piece of nickel and iron contains a valuable semi-precious gemstone that is valued at $20-40 per gram. But this piece will likely be sold to a museum or private collector. It could be worth around a million dollars. Binford hopes there are more meteorites in Western Kansas. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Ad- selected specimens of my past offers
Dear List Members, today I would like to give a small review on my past offers of interesting meteorites from 2004/05. I have selected from some rare and unusual meteorites the best available piece of each meteorite. Unfortunately, some meteorites from my past offers are represented no more because these are completely sold out, for example NWA3099, NWA2490 or NWA2892. Some meteorites are nearly sold out, for example the NWA2898 H7 (highly recommended specimens). For all collectors who have not used my offers in the past is here again the possibility to acquire a piece of one of these nice and interesting meteorites. http://www.meteoriten.com/special.html I would like to thank with this opportunity all collectors who have supported me and my business during the past years. In future I will introduce some more interesting meteorites at reasonable prices. Best wishes, Stefan SR-Meteorite I.M.C.A.

Re: [meteorite-list] Antarctica is a Hot Spot for UA Researchers Hunting Meteorites for Science
Don't forget Kevin Righter who now curates the Antarctic meteorites at JSC and Anna Spitz whose expedition was cancelled the night before departure due to active sunspots. I feel like I've forgotten someone, too. -Dolores Hill LPL Ron Baalke wrote: ANTARCTICA IS A HOT SPOT FOR UA RESEARCHERS HUNTING METEORITES FOR SCIENCE From Lori Stiles, University Communications, 520-621-1877 November 10, 2005 - Contact Information Jani Radebaugh 520-626-0761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Julia Goreva 520-626-5741 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Related Web sites Antarctic Search for Meteorites - http://geology.cwru.edu/~ansmet/ NSF Office of Polar Programs - http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=opp --- Not many people celebrate their year-end holidays on the east Antarctic ice sheet. But nearly every year for more than a decade, University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) professors, graduate students or alumni have. They have been part of the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) program, intent on collecting pieces of asteroids, the moon and Mars which have landed as meteorites on the whitest place on Earth. ANSMET is such an amazing program, UA postdoctoral researcher Jani Radebaugh says. It's like getting free samples from outer space, free except for the cost of traveling to Antarctica to collect them. Radebaugh is among 15 scientists and mountaineers selected for the 2005-2006 ANSMET program. So is Gordon Osinski, a recent LPL postdoctoral researcher now with the Canadian Space Agency. The 20-year-old ANSMET program is funded by the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs and by NASA's Solar System Exploration Division. Planetary scientist Ralph Harvey of Case Western Reserve University heads the collecting expeditions. The program is a wonderful thing, because now there's a push to go back to the moon and Mars and return samples to try to understand these bodies, Radebaugh said. We can learn a lot more about these bodies as we increase the collection of the samples that land on Earth. I think these expeditions are a really important service to planetary science. Radebaugh, who earned her UA doctorate last May, will join the Brigham Young University geology faculty this fall. I think this experience would be fun for students to hear about, she added. Postodoctoral researcher Julia Goreva was on the successful 2004-2005 meteorite collecting expedition. She and 11 others collected 1,230 meteorites. Among these were more than 300 pounds of pallasite meteorites -- rare rocks originally from the core-mantle boundary of a small destroyed planet or a large asteroid. One pallasite, the largest yet found, weighed 70 pounds. For the past 10 years I've been studying meteorites -- destroying them, dissolving them, melting, burning, getting every bit of information they can give me about the processes that took place at times when the Earth was just an embryo, Goreva said. ANSMET is a program that builds a collection available to any scientist around the globe, so it was very important for me to become one of the people who can personally contribute to the pool of rocks that continue to puzzle me in the lab. Radebaugh leaves for New Zealand on Nov. 17. Expedition members get completely outfitted at Christchurch, N.Z., then board an LC 130 cargo airplane for an 8-hour flight to McMurdo Station, Antarctica. Bad weather can mean turning around mid-flight and returning to Christchurch. It took one expedition four tries to reach McMurdo. After survival and other training at McMurdo, Radebaugh, Osinski and their colleagues will head for the Antarctic plateau inland of the Miller Range in the Transantarctic Mountains and set up base camp. They'll live in 2-person tents for five weeks during the South Polar summer, when temperatures hover around minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Goreva said, I never thought that two girls could eat a pound of butter per week and a pound of bacon for breakfast. That does keep you warm! Antarctica is by far the best place on Earth to search for meteorites, mainly for two reasons, Ralph Harvey explains on the ANSMET Website, http://geology.cwru.edu/~ansmet/. One is that although meteorites fall randomly all over the globe, they are more easily found against Antarctica's plain, bright ice than on other Earth surfaces. The other has to do with the fact that as snow accumulates on the continental ice sheet, the weight pushes the ice sheet toward the edges of the continent. As this big, very thick ice sheet slowly spreads out, it moves like a conveyor belt and delivers meteorites to the bases of mountains, Radebaugh said. Over tens of thousands of years, phenomenal concentrations of meteorites can develop, as high as one meteorite per square meter in some places, Harvey says on the ANSMET Website. The ANSMET program archives all its meteorites at NASA's

Re: [meteorite-list] Alain Carion has a question
Zelimir is having problems posting so he has asked me to forward this. And he has an interesting suggestion. Anne M. Black _www.IMPACTIKA.com_ (http://www.IMPACTIKA.com) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) President, I.M.C.A. Inc. _www.IMCA.cc_ (http://www.IMCA.cc) -- Hello Anne, list The iron as pictured is a little bit familiar to me. It reminds me Zapaliname. In October 1996 I attended the Turin show and met there Alain Carion. We went through the tables and noticed a Spanish dealer, Senor F. Morales, who had put for sale an unknown iron he discovered in Mexico. At the time, nothing was known about it, just the name (that he proposed). The slices he offered resemble the picture you are enclosing (but I must check better when I will be home with my collection). M. Morales, the finder, sold various part- and complete slices as well as some individuals. I purchased a nice part slice of above 500 g with troilites and a W pattern similar to the one you pictured (Can't check the bandwidths now). Here is what I can find in my files: ZAPALINAME (Mexico, Oc-IAB) thick PS, edge 2/3 crusted, 549.3 g Nice W. pattern (wide bands), 2 troilites, (one of 40 mm) on the etched side; purchased from F.A.Morales, the finder, before analysis M. Morales also provided copies of preliminary analyses and description of his find to the buyers so I got all this bunch of data from him, in a folder, including pictures showing M. Morales digging and finding the main mass on site. Copies of such data were available before the meteorite was officially described and accepted by the Nom Com and M. Morales used to distribute them as proof that he really found the meteorite. It is only recently that Zapaliname was officially accepted (described in one of the last Met. Bulls.) I remember that Alain hesitated to purchase some fragment, probably because of the lack of data. We then separeted and I never knew whether Alain changed his mind later and ended up by purchasing some slice at the show. The coincidence here is that the iron you show is similar to Zapaliname and that Alain and me were at the right place, before the official opening of the show, to see that new meteorite. Alain should remember whether he did buy some slice or not and easily contradict my guesses if he still has the piece in his collection. But the year (1996, for sure) does not correspond to the 80's you mention This is just a proposal, more based on my memories than on comparison of my sample (that I don't have on hand here in France) with your picture. But this could perhaps interpellate Alain and help the quest progressing. Side note: Anne, since a time, my posts do not reach the List for some obscure reason.
