Marlin Cilz told me he has not cut a more beautful iron. What do the list members think the large emerald green crystals are? Pyroxene? Every slice seems to have one or two of them. The silicated and etch pattern in the silicated area reminds me a lot of Steinbach. http://meteoriteguy.com/collection/Patagoniairon.htm Beautiful crystals, they are! Yes, I think they are pyroxene crystals (augite), probably diopside [CaMgSi2O6]. Diopside has been found in these irons: Caddo County, Four Corners, Ocotillo, and Udei Station. The most interesting of these with regard to Mike's iron is probably Four Corners because of its polycrystallinity, its silicate-graphite inclusions, its Neumann bands. Four Corners is anomalous and Mike's iron will surely be classified as an anomalous iron, too! Congratulations!

[meteorite-list] park forest outing
Well I am back home from park forest.It seems no one wanted to show up.That is to bad.It was great for hunting,even with the 40 mile an hour winds.I was really lucky to find 2 more pieces.I found a 0.4 gram fragment with a little end of crust,60% weathered and a 3.2 gram individual with alot of weathering.It kinds pisses me off when people are going to be there,but do not show up.Oh well I am sure something came up.But there loss my gain.The pieces I found were by the pool on orchard street.I brought my handy dandy magnetic rake and they were scooped up.That is the same area I found small fragments 3 years ago.When I get time I will post some pics.Along day driving and I am bushed.Thanks to some of the people for giving me some info on the ghubara.It was fun,but I know there still are bigger pieces left,SOMEWHERE.Ya just gotta find them. steve arnold Steve Arnold,Chicago,USA!!

[meteorite-list] Canyon Diablo Spheroid Size
Good evening list members, I have specimens of the famous Canyon Diablo spheroids with a copy of the American Meteorite Laboratory label. I don't have the capability to measure the spheroids, but they are of the size that would qualify them as a Bessey Speck. The label specifies Size 24. I know that the spheroids were typically from 0.01mm to 2 mm in size. Does anyone know the scale Nininger used to produce the Size 24?

I don't remember any exceptions written into the one AD per week rule. It's pretty simple and until Art says otherwise it should be respected.

[meteorite-list] Rob's Comet's Exciting Explosion Part III
Hello shooting star devotees and comet origin enigmaticists, Just an update on the great surprise comet of 2006, C/2006 M4 (SWAN), discovered by Rob Matson by early July... We are in bright Moonlight at the first quarter and Rob's comet continues to be nicely visible from suburban or reasonable urban areas. Most suburban locations will be fine and if you happen to live in the dust bowl try Cuivre River Park Sunday night and look inside the Keystone for a guarantied delightful view - can't miss it if the clouds hold back...I walked outside this suburban locaion while on the computer and found it immediately despite the first quarter Moon about a quarter turn of sky away at the same elevation. The Comet is WNW about 280º(Seattle)-295º(Miami) on a compass at two hours after Sunset for US latitudes the next few nights. It is the greenest natural object in the skies and well worth the chase! N. 30º13.40 Lat. Lunar First Quarter, 2006 OCT 28 20:49 EDT (29.035 UT) C/2006 M4 (SWAN) 2006 Oct. 29.035 UT: m1=4.8, Dia.= 9', DC=8 vis. LM = 4.0 Photo tonight: www.diogenite.com/061028-03.jpg The above is a photo tonight taken less than 3 hours ago and Rob's Comet is labeled. The brightest star to the left of the comet in the photo, Zeta Herculis, is the second brightest star in the constellation Hercules. Zeta Herculis is brightest star in Hercules' Keystone asterism, at magnitude 2.8. The Comet is taking the scenic route through our heavens jetting by the brightest Globular Cluster in the Northern hemisphere, the imposing M13, in that neighborhood, which is sometimes visible with the naked eye at a diffuse 5.9 magnitude. The photo with a typical digital camera zoomed for highest magnification shows both the Comet and Globular Cluster. Two fuzzies for the price of one...Initial reports of fragmentation as far as I can see in a small telescope are not playing out...

RE: [meteorite-list] Canyon Diablo Spheroid Size
Dave, What I remember Nininger telling me was that he used a set of standard geologic grain sizing screens for shperoid sizing. I have a complete set of shperoids from him. (There is a name for this set and I can't at this time remember the specific term) This is a set of screens mounted in circular rings that fit on on top of each other. Sand is poured in the top ring and the assembly is shaken. Course grains stay on top and the fines continue down to the smallest grain size. As I remember, having used one many years ago, there are seven maybe more screen sizes and each are given a specific # pertaining to grain size.
