[meteorite-list] new orleans fall
Hi, I received some of the very first stuff - picked up the next day in the roadside by a friend of mine who is a pegmatist in the Uni of NO. He sent me about 35g and virtually all was in fragments. It fell on my birthday! The main mass went thru the roof of the Faucett's house. Personally I have no idea where these larger pieces came from as the Faucetts's were not selling and the only stuff I saw for about 18 months was material very very similar to what I had. I sold a lot of my NO stash and have about 7g left. So I am bemused too about where all of these large fragments came from because I do not recall anyone saying they'd found another large lump of NO - as far as I knew there was the Faucett mass (which may be lost now since Katrina - I don't know) and crumbs Curiouser and curiouser Dave IMCA #0092 Sec.BIMS www.bimsociety.org __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Bill, Maybe you could do some research prior to posting such a comment? First, IMCA is not selling meteorites (some IMCA members are), and Al Falster is no IMCA member.

Re: [meteorite-list] Impact Origin of Carolina Bays Argued For at 2007AGU Meeting
Sterling K. Webb wrote on Sun March 11, 2007 Hi, List, Thanks, Paul, for those links. You and the list might be interested to know that there is a competing session Carolina Bays. A more mainstream point of view on their formation will be given at the Geological Society of America Southeastern Section-56th Annual Meeting (29-30 March 2007) in a session titled S6. Geology and Ecology of Carolina Bays at: http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2007SE/finalprogram/session_18800.htm The paper in this session include 1. The Sedimentology and Ages of Carolina Bays Sand Rims by Dr. Ivestor at: http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2007SE/finalprogram/abstract_119179.htm This abstract states in part: Water-lain pebbles intercalated with eolian sands indicate that these are typical shoreline deposits resulting from fluctuations in water level. At individual bays where concentric rims occur, dating has established that rims are progressively younger toward the center of the bay, reflecting a regressive sequence and confirming that the bays are not single-event features but evolve as a result of processes active episodically over a long period of time. Active shorelines and associated eolian deposition occurred during marine isotope stage (MIS) 2 to late MIS 3 (~12 to 50 ka), MIS 4 to very late MIS 5 (60-80 ka), and late MIS 6 (120 to 140 ka) based on a cumulative total of 45 OSL dates. These age ranges also correspond with the ages of other eolian landforms in the Coastal Plain, including sand sheets and dunefields, and suggest a climatic threshold was crossed during the transition toward glacial stadials, initiating both bay and dune activity. Another abstract is Geomorphic History of th Carolina Bays by RAy Kaczorowski at: http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2007SE/finalprogram/abstract_118906.htm Needless to say, this activity will be quite fun to watch as all of these ideas are sorted out.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Orleans
Bill, Norbert, Dave, and All, Sorry for this duplicate, but the first hasn't turn up on the list yet. Hi Bill, I won't add to the points covered by Norbert. When I first saw one of Al's sale, I thought it was fake. I emailed 'flabster' via eBay and asked how he had acquired the fragments. 'Flabster' simply replied, easy, walking along the streets with a magnet in a plastic container and frequently removing the pieces, besides loads of car pieces! Best wishes, Al. Not knowing who he was or understanding that fragments had surrounded the residence, I issue a warning to other IMCA members about the auction. Dave Harris who knew Al quickly corrected my misconceptions. I have since been in contact with the very kind, reputable Al Falster and I have no reason to doubt his expertise. Bill if you check the link you'll find detailed results of samples tested. If you are not confident of an auction for any reason, don't bid. However, if you know of fragments being sold that are not genuine, you need contact the seller. If the seller is an IMCA member and you cannot obtain satisfaction, you can file a compliant via the web site. IMCA will contact you and the member. And you would probably get much higher bids if your PF fragments were accompanied with written authentication by Paul Sipiera or the like. Not a bad idea.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Orleans
Ken, Thanks forYOUR reply. In regard to street crumbs and given the track record of geologists lately, I'd be hesitant to purchase any of that N.O. rubbish.

Bill, Is this a rhetoric question? Norbert -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Norbert, What's wrong with this picture? Bill -Original Message- Bill, Maybe you could do some research prior to posting such a comment? First, IMCA is not selling meteorites (some IMCA members are), and Al Falster is no IMCA member. Go and check our members list at www.imca.cc ... Second, you can't buy an IMCA number - each applicant for IMCA membership needs recommending members, and each application is thouroghly checked by our Membership Committee and voted upon by the IMCA Board of Directors. We received about 1 application per day, during the first two months of this year, and not even 20% of the applicants make the vote - so it's not just about paying dues, it's about authenticity, and proper business practices. I fear that a man without a last name (who's Bill anyway?) wouldn't even master the first steps to IMCA membership. And, answering your question: it surely would do no harm to have a scientist look at your crumbs prior to selling them as PF, would it? It sounds like you are not sure that these actually do represent the Real McCoy... In any case, as an IMCA member you would have to grant the authenticity of each and every specimen you sell, and it would be YOUR task to take care of the proper steps to do so.

Re: [meteorite-list] all List members Mike re Threats from Mr Gregory
While technically two rules have been violated (Posting personal messages and attacks) the content in my opinion more than justifies it. After all, if there is somebody who is going to make an effort to physically hard somebody who goes meteorite hunting or somehow hamper a legitimate meteorite search a lot of people would be interested and it is certainly meteorite related. I for one would like to know what certain people is capable of doing. Wither this is getting the mafia after you when searching allende in mexico, hiring police to cause one trouble in morocco, setting people up with the government to get arrested in oman ect, I would like to know so as to avoid contact with these people and to take any necessary action should I decide to take part in these search activities. You could I guess argue that this whole topic is not meteorite related since there are no meteorites except in one mad mans delusions, but given that meteorites and threats are in the same thread I am glad that I have as many of the details as possible of the situation. After all, I have been to arequipa peru dozens of times (And I actually had the crater in question investigated - although I never posted anything to the list concerning my investigation since there are obviously no meteorites in a bomb crater that has volcanic basalt and scrapnel scattered around it) but I do know from mikes email that I wouldent try and talk to the mad man of arequipa if I go to arequipa again. When he was a new misinformed meteorite lover you might want to talk to somebody and maybe explain things about meteorites to them. A potentially violent criminal who wont listen to comen sense about meteorites is a totally different matter altogether. I say there was nothing wrong with mikes posting and it is informative to at least some members. The people who are not interested of course wont read my email since they have been deleting emails from this thread long ago. People with an interest will read it. Sincerely DEAN Need Mail bonding?

Re: [meteorite-list] HELP ! and, Who's still got their first meteorite?
Hi Kevin, List, That brings to mind a fond memory. It was in the late winter of '57 and the sun was barely beginning its work day in West Texas by starting to illuminate the landscape through the cold, gray, dismal, misty, low overcast morning. I was with my mineralogical mentor on yet another trip to raid the agate beds at Marfa, Texas. I was in the seventh grade at that time, so I was probably still about 13, and an eager learner about anything mineralogical. My good friend, Mr. V. C. Wiggins (a former mayor of Odessa in the '30's) had promised me for several months that he would take me to the Odessa meteorite crater some day, and this was the day. Mr. Wiggins at that time had the one and only rock shop in Odessa and it was conveniently located only a half block from the Junior High School I attended. Needless to say, most of my brown bag lunches were eaten in his shop. Then, too, he had to push me out the door in the evenings so he could close and go home. He was a fine gentleman that I will always miss. We bounced down the narrow fence line dirt road for miles in Mr. Wiggins old '51 Buick until we finally arrived at what appeared to be a large muddy hump in the otherwise flat landscape. He parked with his headlights aimed at the geological anomaly and proudly exclaimed, That's it! I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I do recall being sorely disappointed in the sight. That's just another example of reality rarely meeting expectations. But what the heck, I was thrilled to be there. I took off at a dead run up the muddy slope, promptly slipped and found myself rolling back down the muddy slope. I'm sure Mr. Wiggins was both amused and somewhat wary at the thought of me getting back into his Buick as a mud blob. We worked that out later with old newspapers from his trunk. Once inside the floor of the crater, I was advised about more of the crater's history and given a mental picture of what I should be looking for. In the excitement of finally being there, I had forgotten to bring my rock pick or flashlight from the car. So I took off across the crater floor kicking at muddy lumps. All but one of those lumps turned out to be caliche. This one piece that wasn't caliche I took over to Mr.Wiggins for identification. It was about seven inches long by three inches wide with tapered ends. Turns out that it was indeed a part of the meteorite. A very rusty, crumbly part of the old meteorite, but it was mine. I then moved to the southern side of the crater and began clawing away at it with a broken branch of old mesquite. After sifting through the muck with my cold fingers I found a small black piece of something that obviously wasn't the prevalent caliche. Another fast run over to the expert and I got the good news that this was a keeper. I turned to resume my muckraking for more keepers but was cut short by the order to return to the Buick so we could get on with the business of the day which was to extract as much of that fine Marfa agate as humanly possible and still get back to Odessa without the expense of spending the night on the road somewhere. As was typical of our agate hunting trips, despite our best intentions of leaving the hunting area earlier so as to get home earlier, we left well after dark for the three hour trip back to Odessa. We bounced along with a trunk and rear floorboard full of the prized agate, and my two pieces of the Odessa meteorite. As usual, the headlights of the Buick were pointlessly pointed towards the stars. That always made our trips more exciting by only having a faint glow of light on the highway. So, to keep this short (HA), yes, I still have my first pieces of the fabulous Odessa meteorite. Wouldn't trade them for Mr. Arnold's new Brenham. Well, maybe the shale piece. The solid piece that I recovered weighed in at 2.1g. Never weighed the rust. I surely had one of the prized specimens that Prof. Ninninger and the earlier hunters missed. The crater is now a part of the Texas State Parks system and hunting at the crater site itself and the surrounding ranch land has been prohibited. Glad I was there in the good old days. The crater has been turned into a very tourist friendly place now and includes an exceptionally fine visitor center with heating, air conditioning and indoor plumbing, but you still need to be cautious of the rattlesnakes and vicious jackrabbits when in the crater or thereabouts. There is now a modern paved road to the crater with only one cattle guard to bounce over. The visitor's center has a great collection of museum quality specimens of meteorites from around the world. Come take a look. You're guaranteed to enjoy the experience or your money back. Hurry while it's still free.

Re: [meteorite-list] Who's got their first meteorite?
Hello List, I do -- barely. I found a very small (olivine bronzite most likely) chondrite about 4-1/2 yrs ago. Nice little (very little) stone with fusion crust visible on most of it. I only had a 10x loupe at the time and couldn't really see it as good as I was wanting to, so I bought a cheap 20x loupe. The body of the loupe was magnetic (don't ever recommend that type). I put the small meteorite on a magnet and then attempted to get my first up close look at the stone. The moment the loupe got close to the magnet, the two snapped together, shearing/crushing the little stone in half. I looked the room over for a good two hours trying to find the part that was missing. No luck. The impact must have pulverized it or when it landed it went into something in the room that I failed to look in. Lesson learned -- threw that loupe away. For the record though, none of my little suspect stones have been certified. To Ruben, I admire that you were able to let go of your meteorites like that and let others share in them.

Do you have any insight into the following: A piece of this specimen is at ASU for positive ID. It is stoney, does not attract a magnet, with lots of large condrules. The time (1881) may be off a few years. It belongs to a friend of ours. In 1881 Andrew Jackson Warner was driving a stagecoach approximately fifteen miles west of Rose City Michigan when he heard what he described as a train passing over his head. Looking up he saw a large rock plunge to the ground in front and to the side of his route. He stopped the stage, got off and walked to where the rock had come to rest. It was slightly imbedded in the ground but was not hot enough to start a fire. He got back on the stage and drove to his destination - Damon Michigan about nine miles away. He put the stage away then hooked the horses to a large wooden sled called a stone boat. He returned to the impact site and using the horses he pulled the rock upon the sled. He estimated it weighed about 900 pounds. He secured it to the sled with wire and pulled it into Damon and off loaded it at the Damon School Yard where it lay for over 75 years. Over the years about twenty pounds was chipped away for souvenirs. Warner's great-great-great grandson retrieved it from the school yard and has it stored in a garage. The remaining mass and pieces total about 750 pounds. Damon was a logging camp which was abandoned years ago.

[meteorite-list] possible fix for delayed emails
Here is something I have tried and seems to fix the email delay problem for me. (I'm on a MAC so I don't know what you PC folks will need to do) When I want to create a new message, I go to the bottom of an email and select the link Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com for a new message. That opens a new email message and the link goes in my To address box. Then I have typed in the subject, completed the email and hit sent. Looks to me like they are prompt (within the hour) when I do that versus being 3 and 4 days delayed otherwise. ???

[meteorite-list] Thanks to all for the advice....a few more questions.
To the list, Thanks for the info concerning metal detectors. I think that I'll go with the Gold Bug 2. Now, if you'd bear with me, I have a few more questions. Are there any used Gold Bug 2 detectors available? I'm retired from a cell to cell ministry at San Quentin Prison through The Salvation Army. I loved my work, but it didn't pay a bunch. I figure the people on this forum would know about the availability of used detectors, if anybody would. Also, I'm curious as to why my posts take about 24 hours to show up on the forum? Is this normal? Does it take this long for the other participants here to see their posts? Thanks again for your help.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Orleans
Hi Bill, I won't add to the points covered by Norbert. When I first saw one of Al's sale, I thought it was fake. I emailed 'flabster' via eBay and asked how he had acquired the fragments. He simply replied, easy, walking along the streets with a magnet in a plastic container and frequently removing the pieces, besides loads of car pieces! Best wishes, Al. Not knowing who he was or understanding that fragments had surrounded the residence, I issue a warning to other IMCA members about the auction. Dave Harris who knew Al quickly corrected my misconceptions. I have since been in contact with the very kind, reputable Al Falster and I have no reason to doubt his expertise. Bill if you check the link you'll find detailed results of samples tested. If you are not confident of an auction for any reason, don't bid. However, if you know of fragments being sold that are not genuine, you need contact the seller. If the seller is an IMCA member and you cannot obtain satisfaction, you can file a compliant via the web site. IMCA will contact you and the member. And you would probably get much higher bids if your PF fragments were accompanied with written authentication by Paul Sipiera or the like. Not a bad idea. Best, Ken Newton Bill wrote: Ken, Most of us know about the N.O. excursion. Point is, how reliable can the authenticty of street crumbs be? Can the IMCA vouch for each and every crumb that's sold by a member of your org.? I have buckets of very nice crumbs from PF that I could market. Can I sell if I buy an imca number or do I need the crumbs authenticated. Any volunteers? My point being obvious, I hope.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite research
Hello Barb (and list), Mark, Im new to the meteorite-list but surmise from reading that youve got a good handle on meteorite history. Do you have any insight into the following: I am going to assume (you know what they say about that) and guess that you were directly this question to me, there are a few Marks here (but many more Mike's). I get a couple dozen like e-mails a month through my website, and I am somewhat a meteorite historian, so I am not going to far out here. A piece of this specimen is at ASU for positive ID. It is stoney, does not attract a magnet, with lots of large condrules. The time (1881) may be off a few years. It belongs to a friend of ours. Glad to hear that. ASU will surely be able to tell you what it is...or at least if it is a meteorite. In 1881 Andrew Jackson Warner was driving a stagecoach approximately fifteen miles west of Rose City Michigan when he heard what he described as a train passing over his head. Looking up he saw a large rock plunge to the ground in front and to the side of his route. He stopped the stage, got off and walked to where the rock had come to rest. It was slightly imbedded in the ground but was not hot enough to start a fire. He got back on the stage and drove to his destination Damon Michigan about nine miles away. He put the stage away then hooked the horses to a large wooden sled called a stone boat. He returned to the impact site and using the horses he pulled the rock upon the sled. He estimated it weighed about 900 pounds. He secured it to the sled with wire and pulled it into Damon and off loaded it at the Damon School Yard where it lay for over 75 years. Over the years about twenty pounds was chipped away for souvenirs. Warners great-great-great grandson retrieved it from the school yard and has it stored in a garage. The remaining mass and pieces total about 750 pounds. Damon was a logging camp which was abandoned years ago. Interestingly there is a Rose City, Michigan meteorite. It fell October 17th, 1921 and was the fourth meteorite known from Michigan, the second seen to fall. On the event you described, there is not much I can really tell you from what you have supplied. If I was given a date of the reported fall, I could check my archives for Michigan and area meteor reports from that time. I included a couple meteor reports below as a example. (For those outside of the US, Indiana is below Michigan.) I should also note that even if I could match up a date and a meteor report, there would of course be no way of proving the two events were related. Good luck with your submission, and should you have any other questions, feel free to ask myself, or the list in general.

A meteor of surprising brilliancy was observed last night, falling due west at an angle of about 80 degrees, and disappearing from view in the northwest. It started falling at 11 h. 22 m. 33 s., Fort Wayne time, and finished 6 seconds later. To-day will be fine and clear though somewhat windy.

Tuesday night about 10 o'clock the residents in the upper portion of the city were treated to a meteoric exhibition of wonderful brilliancy. The meteor seemed to shoot across the sky from south-west to north-east, its path being marked by a radiance far greater than that of the electric light. It finally exploded, sending out burning fragments or coruscations in every direction. The writer is informed by persons who saw the meteor that it was accompanied by a whizzing sound, and that the noise of the explosion was so loud that they momentarily expected to hear the fragments falling.

Re: [meteorite-list] MOON ROCKS! (AD)
Hi all, We all can tell stories about taking a newbee friends or relative out to a strewn field and they find a meteorite. Try to beat what my sister came up with. moon rocks! They are about the size of a silver dollar. and she is selling them for $7 to list members - which INCLUDES the shipping! (You can order through me via paypal at my return address on this post - I make nothing on them - just a favor to her - be sure to include your address).
