RE: [meteorite-list] Stardust Capsule Reentry Movie
Stunning video indeed! For me, funny to hear the voice of mission PI Peter Jenniskens too, who's a long standing friend of mine (we observed meteors together from his parent's farm when he was still in Hollland) Too bad the plane wasn't in a racetrack turning to the right in order to allow longer tracking of Stardust at its brightest, but what they did capture was quite spectacular... I think they had equipment on the other side of the aircraft as well One thing I noticed right at the end of the video is what appears to be a fast meteor streak at the upper left corner of the frame just as Stardust reaches the right edge of the window. It definitely is a meteor indeed. - 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Newest Lunar meteorite on show at theTucson Gem show.
Ok, so I should say that it shows no signs of weathering other than minor sandblasting.

There is no weathering scale defined for lunar meteorites, so you cannot call it W0-1. By using these numbers you are saying that metal and troilite are not weathered. jeff At 11:34 PM 1/27/2006, Michael Farmer wrote: Hi everyone. It has been an extremely hectic and busy week in Tucson, Eric Olsen, Jim Strope and I, have been setting up our room and shopping, so no report from Tucson until now. First thing first. Jim Strope and I have purchased the newest Lunar meteorite to grace private collections. It is NWA 2995, a simply unbelievably beautiful Lunar breccia. So fresh it is Weathering 0-1, and so gorgeous it took my breath away. We bought the stone on the spot. It weighs 538 grams total, and is so fresh and full of clasts, that when sliced, it will likely be among the most beautiful Lunar meteorite ever offered to collectors. http://www.meteoriteguy.com/collection/nwa2995.htm Let us know what you think about this! See for yourself, then come to Inn Suites, Room 184 and see it in person. It will blow your mind. While none will be available for sale until after the show, we will have more Lunar and Mars specimens in our room that will likely be available in all of the rest of the rooms in Tucson. Now for the rest of the show. Technically, it opens tomorrow, so some rooms are still not open, but many are, so we have been running all over the city back and forth looking for goodies. I have already scored some of the best flight-oriented Sikhote-Alin meteorites that could exist. We also have 3-5 kilo Pallasite slices. The shipment from DHL arrived today, so Sunday we will have over 500 kilos of solid, handpicked NWA chondrites for sale, more than anywhere. I have seen very little available at any Moroccan tables. Steve Arnold is set up, and has more Brenham than has ever been seen in one place, and I must admit, I might be a tad jealous of the oriented one on display, it is a stunning find of a lifetime. I wonder if Steve will ever top that? And if he does, I have to see that. Anyway, I am tired, and have a ton of work to do tonight, so this will end my first Tucson report. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list Dr. Jeffrey N.

[meteorite-list] NWA 2995 - Mike and Jim's newest Lunar meteorite
Hello Mike, Jim, and List, Sincere congrats on this new, breathtaking lunar meteorite. It is simply amazing what bounties the Hot Deserts yield ! Not only does it resemble Dhofar 910 (Siggi Haberer's and Norbert Classen's Black Moon) but it also somehow reminds me a little of ALHA 81005 - and, of course, of Calcalong Creek as well ! Wonder if NWA 2995's and ALHA 81005's mineralogy and chemistry are more or less identical. Visually at least, they look similar though NWA 2995 is much more intensely brecciated + micro-brecciated. See here: http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/alha81005.html http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/calcalong.html Best regards, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] NWA 2995 - Mike and Jim's newest Lunar meteorite
Mike wrote: Martin, we were discussing Dho 910 yesterday, this one to me is almost identical, just different colors in the mixed matrix, while 910 is grey/blue and white, this one is white, black, yellow, green, and about all the other colors in between. One of the noteworthy characteristics of Dhofar 910 is that it has abundant vesicles. Does NWA 2995 also have such a significant amount of vesicles? Vesicles: the interesting thing about my two little Dho 910 slices (0.25 + 0.93 grams) is that they are peppered with such vesicles (large and small) but that they are absent in the anorthosites and the other clasts.

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 2995 - Mike and Jim's newest Lunar meteorite
Ooops, I saw that I sent this earlier message to myself: Yes the pics remind me strong to 910 too. The almost black matrix, the brecciation, the anorthites not with that ivory luster, like they have in the more weathered Moons, but fresh like white chalk! Yep, Dho 910 is a Moon for achromates. Black, white, grey - (I call it Apollo style - if one remmebers the Apollo pics. The black sky, the white spacesuits, the grey soil..). A speciality of Dho 910 is, that it has a lot of vesicles and bubbles, also quite large ones. The matrix is almost foamy. As it is so fresh, the included gases were pumped out - let's see what the results will be. How bubbly is yours? Have you perhaps a pic of a cut surface for us? Really stunning piece, must be a highlight of this year's Tucson!

Hello Martin and List, Have you perhaps a pic of a cut surface for us? Not quite sure whether you are talking to Mike and Jim or to me. I don't have a website so I can't upload any pictures. But, of course, I do have pictures of my two specimens that I can either send to anyone interested or to someone who can upload it for all of us to view. I have a 16x magnification JPEG I took of my 0.93-gram slice that shows these abundant vesicles, several white anorthite clasts, and some white, meandering veins [(pre-) terrestrial ?].

[meteorite-list] 2nd Kress (d) meteorite found
I'd like to announce that the stone meteorite I recovered during my September 2005 expedition near Plainview, Texas has been paired. It has paired with the Kress (d), TKW was 57g. The report of the field trip is found here: http://imca.repetti.net/metinfo/metadventures/laborday.html This was the meteorite that a junior researcher or grad student mis-identified as a meteorwrong. The copy of the letter (written on ASU letterhead) will accompany any meteorite slice. Now with our 455g stone the TKW is 512 g. My stone has been cut and the total mass I'll have left after saw loss is 335g. I will have it for sale at the Tucson Show. I'll arrive Monday afternoon to heckle Steve Arnold and his new Brehnam paperweight, then I'll be in my Room at INN SUITES 230 along with Impactika. I do wish to point out the extreme irony of the trip. The meteorite I bought was a meteorwrong (Plainview Weird One), and the meteorwrong I bought was a meteorite (Kress-d).
