Re: [meteorite-list] Moble phones attract asteroids!
If only it were true, I'd be out in my garden now trying to attract a couple of hundred kilos of Lunarite. Curse that April fool malarkey! Rob McC --- Darren Garrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.mobilegazette.com/mobile-phones-to-destroy-earth-07x04x01.htm Will Mobile Phones Destroy the Earth? 1st April 2007 A shock report out this week will show that mobile phones prevent a bigger threat to the environment than anyone has imagined - in fact, it states that continued use of mobile handsets will lead to the extinction of all life on Earth. The claim seems outrageous, but it is backed by solid scientific prove that shows that the next text message you send could be responsible for the end of civilisation as we know it. The work by Professor Frühling Dummkopf of the Luton Institute of Astronomical Research is the first in its field, and it examines the interaction of small bodies such as asteroids, meteors and comets in close earth orbit with the effective of the electromagnetic fields generated by modern cellular devices. We interviewed Professor Dummkopf about these claims in a Mobile Gazette exclusive. MG: Professor Dummkopf - it seems to us that mobile phones are very tiny things and asteroids are quite big things that are a very long way away. Are you saying that the two can interact? Professor: Yes, although of course it takes more than one mobile phone to destroy the earth! MG: So, explain the problem for the benefit of our readers. Professor: It is really very simple. Most asteroids are primarily carbonaceous or silicaceous with a much smaller number of metallic asteroids. Out of this last group, a number of objects seemed to be anomalous. MG: Such as? Professor: Well, 21 Lutetia is probably one you've heard of. That one had been puzzling us for a long time because we couldn't classify it.. however careful observation and research has lead us to believe that it is primarily made from a crystalline Scandium based alloy which forms remarkably regular superlattices that measure 0.3331 metres across, so you can see the problem straight away. MG: Go on. Professor: Well of course, 0.3331 metres is the wavelength of a signal broadcast at 900 MHz. And it's twice the wavelength of a signal broadcast at 1800 MHz. These are the most common frequencies used by mobile phones. Put simply, we discovered that the structure of the superlattice tuned in to mobile phone signals. MG: So aliens are listening to our phone conversations? Professor: That would be silly, but what we did discover is that the resonance of the radio signals is causing electromagnetic induction in bodies such as 21 Lutetia which has the effect of shifting their orbits. That orbital shift is actually towards the earth. You could say the the earth has been charged up like a giant magnet and is pulling the bodies towards us. MG: You said bodies, do you mean that there's more than one? Professor: Yes, in fact [mobile phone rings] Sorry, I'd better get this. Hello? Yes, I'll be home at about seven o'clock. Yes, pasta will be fine. I've got to go. Errr.. where were we.. oh yes, we think that about 0.01% of small bodies in the solar system exhibit this property. That doesn't sound like much, but there are between one and two million bodies over one kilometre in size.. so that's about one or two hundred objects, some of which will be quite close to us. And 21 Lutetia is about 100 kilometres across. If that hits, then basically the earth is toast. MG: So we're all going to die? Professor: Yes. MG: So there's no chance you are wrong? Professor: We don't think so, although we did have to make certain assumptions. For example, the growth in mobile phone ownership over the past 25 years has been around 20,000 fold. If we assume the same rate of growth, by 2032 there will be 40 trillion handsets in use on the earth. That could present a serious problem.

[meteorite-list] Commercialization, meteorite coins and other ridiculous wastes of time
I've read the messages about this subject bantered about. First I have a problem with 'scientific' repositories and museums. I like to be able to look closely at what I choose and not what some academic wants to spoon feed me. My mind can process more than a few 'selected' pieces on certain subjects. If you ask to see a particular piece or subject the stock answer is 'you'll have to make an appointment' or 'that is scheduled for March two years from now'. I may never get back to see it. In a lot of cases I helped fund it with taxes. It isn't right that a few employees and scientists are the only people 'allowed' to see, touch and experience these wonders of our world. Yes institutes rescue and preserve items but for what? So the articles can sit in a drawer, box or bottle for years and the building finally burns down and nothing is left? It's selfish and self serving. I like the way that museums used to be. Everything they had was on display. I grew up in Iowa and as a child in the 1960s spent days in the Iowa State Capitol Museum looking at everything from civil war relics, stuffed animals, American Indian garments of the 17-1800s to Dr. Bean's one of a kind fossil plates. Dr. Bean was a dentist who spent years extracting crinoid (sp) colonies from limestone parent material. His works have a world wide reputation. When we went to Iowa on vacation in 1999 I wanted to show my husband Dr Bean's fossils but the answer was 'that's not available . . . . . I was truly disappointed there wasn't a single fossil on display. With the individual collector (or dealer) that doesn't happen. People are proud of what they have found, traded for or purchased. Most are more than willing to share their knowledge with adults and children. If you have seen the wonder in a child's eyes when they look at crystals, meteorites, or even common rocks you know what I mean. Many children and adults who are curious will never make it to a museum or a big city. Many don't have the funds or physical ability to get there. Many children have parents who just don't care or are chemically addicted. If a small meteorite is purchased or given to a rural grade school or an inner city school and ignites a passion in one child and that child turns off the tv, violent video games or cell phone to find a meteorite, rocks or get outside to learn about geology or nature - that's success. That's what sharing and education is about. If we want a better world - we have to cultivate the minds of children as one cultivates a garden. They will eventually be taking care of us. So - all of you who see this subject from the perspective of a large metropolitan city dweller or a person of science who lives in an intellectual vacuum try and look at the subject and world from another perspective. Put your egos, opinions and bias aside and do what benefits the most people. You all have experience, education and knowledge to share. Leave the fertilizer in the garden.

Hi all, regarding the Elbert meteorite : Thanks to Matt Morgan for making it available to get me a crusted partslice of my birthday meteorite. Elbert fell on January 11, 1998 I gave it a high polish and here are the pics: www.austromet.com/CollnPics/Elbert_3.294g_A.jpg www.austromet.com/CollnPics/Elbert_3.294g_B.jpg 5 and a half years ago Sergey Vassiliev in cooperation with Martin Horejsi made it possible to get me a 40 mg fragment of my other birthday meteorite Lavrentievka, which fell on January 11, 1938 www.austromet.com/CollnPics/Lavrentievka_0.040g.jpg Now I own a sample of every meteorite that fell on January 11th. Both are only a single stone fall with very low TKW and finally I want to show you an endcut of the NWA 4302 Diogenite that I recently got from Greg Hupe. I also gave this stone a high polish and here's the result: Looking like the great Johnstown Diogenite with great clear and shiny green olivine crystals. www.austromet.com/CollnPics/NWA_4302_1.756g_B.jpg it is really worth a look enjoy the pics best wishes to all, Christian I.M.C.A. #2673 at www.imca.cc website: www.austromet.com Ing.

Re: [meteorite-list] Mojave Hunt Images
Hi Moni and List, To answer a few questions: Yes, your guess was correct, we rode bikes on Ivanpah. It is a great place to visit and explore but hunting of any sort is prohibited. A BLM issued permit is required to enter the lake bed and you are only allowed to drive to a staging area where you are allowed to camp. You can wind sail to the Molicorp line and then the rest of the dry lake bed is off limits. We rode bikes around the entire legal perimeter and then set up a camp fire in a device called a volcano in staging area one. We talked to some wind sailors about dry lake beds, gave them some burgers and were invited check out a privately owned dry lake bed, very nice people. We had no problem whatsoever with rangers this time because we took the time to get the proper permits and researched the laws in regards to meteorite hunting. We made numerous phone calls ahead of time to the BLM, obtained the proper permits before touching a lake bed and obeyed all laws. We scouted four different dry lake beds, two of which were very remote and required four wheel drive thus were in fairly pristine condition. This was mainly a scouting effort for future expeditions to see what kind of paperwork is involved and what kind of access is available for the Mobile Meteorite Command Center (MMCC)so that months can be spent in the field instead of a few weeks. All of our finds will be studied and reported to the NomCom. None of our finds will ever be sold as this would be breaking the law since most were found on public land. California will enforce this law and we were told by the BLM that they search eBay and other sales avenues on a regular basis and that fines will be issued if a violation is found. Overall, it was a great trip. We got much needed exercise, met some cool people and had an excellent time. I will have other sets of pictures coming in from the trip and if I find any of them to be of interest, I would be happy to share them. Happy Hunting and Best Regards, Adam --- Moni Waiblinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Adam and all, Well congratulations to you too! This looks like a very nice find. Can't wait to find out from where and who at the end the meteorite belongs to, California or Nevada? Nice find! It will be interesting to see what kind it is!

Re: [meteorite-list] Moble phones attract asteroids!
Darren and List, I shouldn't think that this bizzare scenario will cause such a calamity since the ear channels leading to the brain are already seething with carbonate petroleum byproducts magnified 10 fold by the electromagnetic flux in the tens of millions of cell phone users throughout the globe. This active energetic ingredient plus the automobile mobile phone usage will no doubt decimate earth's population before any astroidal collisions become a serious problem.

Jerry list, I didn't see the program (nor will I since we kicked out the TV over 30 years ago---), so I'm not completely qualified to respond. But quite often, I see solved mysteries kept alive and milked well beyond their expiration date. With the discovery of the Kebir crater in exactly the predicted target rocks a couple of years ago, I accepted that we had a conclusion for the long-missing source of Libyan Desert Glass. If this new program presents something contradicting this, I would be glad to hear of it.

Yet if anyone is so inclined, that show, Ancient Astroid, will be aired again on Tuesday April 3, at 12:00 noon Eastern Daylight Time on The National Geographic Channel. And Oh, you're welcome in advance to anyone to whom this notice might apply. Have a good evening.

Re: [meteorite-list] KREEP and SAU 169 AD
Hello Martin and List, The KREEP material is very unique and interesting. I have the main mass of Dhofar 925 in my collection, which is the largest stone of the small Dhofar grouping from the KREEP region of the moon. I have been thinking recently of trading/selling off this beautiful specimen. It is a thin end cut, 36mm X 27mm X 8mm (at widest points), and weighs 6.856 grams. If you are interested in this specimen please email me for pictures or with any questions. Take Care, Jason Rocks from Heaven www.rocksfromheaven.com Martin Altmann wrote: Almost correct, the small Dho 925/960/961 grouplet was revaluated in January to be also Kreep-bearing, see Korotev's fine scheme: http://meteorites.wustl.edu/lunar/moon_meteorites_list_alumina.htm The rough parent location could be the Mare Imbrium/Oceanus Procellarum region, as - aside in ejecta from a few craters, the lunar prospector probe located KREEP only there, in mapping the whole surface.

März 2007 19:02 An: metlist Betreff: [meteorite-list] KREEP and SAU 169 So, in the process of googling around I see that the only other KREEP rock (other than the Hupe's and Chladni's paired specimens) is SAU 169 - which, as far as I can tell has not been distributed into any private hands (correct me, of course!) The thing is about SAU 169 is that they have a pretty good idea which crater the bugger was finally launched to Earth from, by careful and I think clever analysis of the petrological history of the rock ( see http://tinyurl com/ytufj6 ) they have managed to confidently predict which crater launched it into the orbit that finally hit the Earth. So, any ideas regarding the paired KREEP rocks and their 'parent' location? ciao!
