Yep, I'll do so. But they are different from the good ol' Bessey specks (and more affordable). They do have a weight and into that hole in the inlay cards fit thin slices up to 0.2g. Of course the MoonMars cases aren't satisfying for you, but especially for you, we hold in readiness a complete stone of NWA 4483 with some nice melt bulges on the exterior, has 42 grams and if that one wouldn't be sufficient for the usual weight range of your collection's specimen, we have one more paired stone, to be classified soon, of 600g. If this type of Moon is to common for your requirements, there we could help you with the main mass of the largest KREEP in private hands and we are glad to hear your offers and to come to terms with you.

Re: [meteorite-list] Steve's Imilac Trip
Re: [meteorite-list] Steve's Imilac Trip Pamela Shireman Sun, 25 Feb 2007 20:25:52 -0800 Steve, Great story! (I may regret this) but, I have to ask ... Why were Marvin and Harley delayed? Pamela Shireman Well, Pamela, It became plainly obvious to me why they were delayed-- After I guzzled down that full bottle of Pisco-Cola mix. (I have yet to figure out which was more, the Pisco or the Cola) I surmised this: 1) They bought at couple of Pisco bottles in Antofagasta, along with Cola which is very popular in South America. 2) Being that you cannot drink and drive at the same time, they most likely held off till they got back on that long dusty road out of town. 3) They made the mix and began to drink it... 4) Antofagasta is at sea level and Imilac strewnfield is at about 11,000 ft. As they gained in elevation the Pisco began to take effect much more rapidly then Marvin and Hurley realized. Pilots are warned, one shot of liquor at sea level equals 2 every 5,000 ft elevation increase. So they got high very fast. 5) They pulled off road to recover. 6) When they finally came down enough to drive back to camp, I asked them why they were so delayed, expressing my anxiety that I might have had to walk out the next day. 7) Marvin handed me a bottle of Cola-Pisco that he and mixed and said Drink this The answer became very obvious very quickly. I can say this, Pisco is great at altitude. I did not have a hangover the next day at all, neither did Marvin or Hurley. I bought two bottles on the way back and have yet to find it here in the US. Straight, it has a unique taste. Certainly great for those high altitude meteorite hunts (just so long as there are no trees, rocks or gullies in the way) Humm... May have to take a trip down to Chile's Imilac strewnfield, or better yet to Peru to hunt at Larry's so called crater just to get more Pisco. Steve Schoner IMCA #4470 P.S. Any liquor importers out there: Re-name Pisco to METEOR with a nice landscape logo with a meteor streaking downward.

[meteorite-list] Statistician needed.
I've finishing a very interesting study on meteorite recovery which is heavily statistics oriented. However, I may have flaws in my assumptions and data sets. I recall that my college stat professor drilled into us, that when you have a serious stat problem, go find a real statistician. So hence the request. While I could easily tap into my local world-class university math department, I believe it would be best to tap a statistician who already understands the nature of meteorites.

Pisco is actually fairly easy to get in the U.S. I noticed a while back that one of my favorite local wine shops (Hi Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA) carries about a half-dozen varities of Pisco: http://www.hitimewine.net/istar.asp?a=3dept=01class=02subclass=03 Perhaps you have a local specialty wine store that offers it.

Hi List Tuscon Show was new experience to me. I finally meet many of peoples from this list, this was most importand part of this trip. But from the other side Tucson fair is really too long. On the last week I was really bored looking at this tons of tons of all kind of minerals, fossils and meteorites. This never happend before :). Fortunatelly we have our fair in Ensisheim. Short, compact and with the same fun (psss... and cheaper too). OK lets back to business. I have prepared some of my new material that I have bring back to Poland from my overseas trip. . THUATHE [H4/5] full slices double polished . DaG 735 [SHE] ultra thin slices from Mars . CANYON DIABLO GRAPHITE NODULES [IAB] Large full slices with big veins of fresh iron. Just wonderfull. Something similar I have seen only on Robert Haag catalogs. Tomorrow I will add some more, larger slices from 1400g specimen. Cutting in progres right now. . DHOFAR 007 [AEUC] Finally I have got large specimen and fortunatelly it was very beautifull inside with all kind of matrix type together with some impact melt and lots of shock veins. . MILLBILLILLIE [AEUC] And finally my little complete specimen died on my saw becouse it not find new home in America. But its not bad, becouse its composed of the other type of matrix, different than the normall one. Best example of double matrix into one specimen we can again find in Haags excelent catalogs.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/02/17/un_asteroid_treaty/ UN urged to adopt asteroid impact treaty Failing to prepare is preparing to die By Chris Williams The Register (United Kingdom) February 17, 2007 AAAS - Moves are afoot in the astronaut community to hustle the UN into adopting a treaty which would set a deflection mission in motion if Earth was threatened by a large asteroid impact. A series of four meetings organised by the Association of Space Explorers (ASE) will seek to draw up a protocol which the UN can act upon when potentially Earthbound large objects are identified. The first is set for Strasbourg in May, and the invited group of space, engineering, legal and diplomatic luminaries will deliver its recommendations to the UN, which is following the discussions. Its success after that will be a matter for the politicians, said ASE chairman and Apollo program astronaut Rusty Schweickart at the AAAS meeting in San Francisco on Friday. The measures the group will propose will include set responses to the detection of an object aimed at cutting the time before a decision on what action to take is made. The ASE has arranged the meetings without governmental prompting for the good of humanity. Schweickart said: We all know the difficulty the UN has in making any decision, let alone a time-critical one. The number of known near-Earth asteroids which have a chance of hitting Earth in the next 100 years currently stands at 127, but that figure is expected to rocket to as high as 10,000 by 2020 , after Congress changes NASA's mandate to include surveying space for such threats. Schweickart told reporters the boost in public awareness as more objects are identified will force politicians to act. He said: This is going to be an inherently international decision. Whether they like it or not they're going to have to do deal with it. The biggest problem for any treaty as Schweickart sees it is the inherently altruistic nature of anwering the problem - by funding a global plan nations would have to accept individual sacrifices for the good of the whole of planet. Familiarity with the toothless Kyoto Protocol on climate change is instructive on how difficult that can be to achieve. He added that there would need to be an understanding from governments that surveying the sky for threats needs to be thought of separately from the rest of astronomy: What we're talking about here is not a science - what we're talking about is public safety. That view was backed up by NASA Ames asteroid hazard chief David Morrison, who said: This has gone from being an esoteric statistical argument to one about real events. According to NASA shuttle engineer Edward Lu, the current favoured method for deflecting an asteroid is known as a gravity tractor, which would involved sending a space craft to hover close to the asteroid and so gradually draw it off course by gravitational attraction. In the case of the most recent headline-grabbing menace to humanity, Apophis http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/31/nasa_has_a_plan/, it would take a one tonne craft twelve days to deflect the asteroid one Earth's radius. The ASE workshops will aim to deliver a protocol to the UN in Spring 2009. Schweickart said: We can't prevent a hurricane, we can't prevent a tornado. But we can prevent an asteroid impact, and if we don't we're not much past the dinosaurs. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi Marcin and List, Glad you made it back with your material ok Marcin. It was good to meet you and chat and all the others from the list that I saw. Thanks to everyone that made my visits so enjoyable. There was far too much to see and take in for the few days I could get around and escape from riding at the ranch in the hills outside Tucson. Geoff and Steves party was fun...thanks again Geoff. I came back with some special pieces for my collection including a stunning 904g sikhote Alin individual to celebrate its anniversary. Cruising around the desert landscape and up to Kitt Peak in the Mustang with the top down was great too :-) Marcin...did you get up to meteor crater and the Grand canyon in the endhope you did? I thoroughly recommend the Tucson show experience to anyone thinking of visiting next year...I'm already trying to work out how to get back...might have to try Ensisheim too which has the advantage of being a little nearer to the UK! To those I promised to get back to...sorry for the delay...been catching up on paperwork...will sort some material out soon. Thanks again to all for a great first visit.

Hi, I've cut many, many Canyon D's. Most are hard but some will tear all the teeth off a band saw blade even if its a diamond blade!

But they are different from the good ol' Bessey specks (and more affordable). They do have a weight and into that hole in the inlay cards fit thin slices up to 0.2g. Of course the MoonMars cases aren't satisfying for you, but especially for you, we hold in readiness a complete stone of NWA 4483 with some nice melt bulges on the exterior, has 42 grams and if that one wouldn't be sufficient for the usual weight range of your collection's specimen, we have one more paired stone, to be classified soon, of 600g.
