[meteorite-list] Looking for the address of Steve Arnold (Chicago)
Hi List! Sorry list to take a private matter to the list, but I'm starting to run out of options and I don't want to file a dispute with Ebay if it can be avoided. Maybe my mail is blocked somewhere, I hope this way to contact Steve will work. I bought a 503 gram slice of nwa 869 from Steve but the address filed with Ebay (a post box) was wrong and my letter with the payment bounced. After the money returned to me Steve has not answered any of my messages. I've tried both email and via Ebay message system. What I need is the real address of Steve so I can send the payment. ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemih=019viewitem=item=290101251764 ) Steve, if you see this, please answer my mail.

[meteorite-list] Greensburg, Kansas Update 05-07-07
Hello everyone, First, I would like to thank those that have contributed to the joint effort fund raiser currently undergoing. Many of my fellow dealers have yet to chime in, and while I understand the fund raiser is still in it's first footsteps, I hope we hear from you soon. I am tiredit is past 3:30 a.m., and I have yet to take in everything from the last day, but as you know the saying Time and tide waits on no man. In case the hopefully linked photos do not seem workdue to length, you can check out the images in my photobucket gallery. http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/ Today was the first day they let residents back into Greensburg since the tornado Friday. In many ways, this was day one of recovery. Greensburg resident and world famous meteorite hunter, Steve Brenham Arnold arrived in town around 5 p.m., just a hour before the 6 p.m. curfew. This was only accomplished by making great time into Kansas from his home in Arkansas. Steve brought with him into Kiowa County, his youngest daughter Kelsey, and a certain person from Wichita, Kansas. (That would be me.) After making our way through a couple road stops, as they were directing traffic completely around the town, we arrived at the real road stop, complete with a dozen armed National Guardsmen...and a couple attack helicopters peacefully setting in the background. I was using Steve's camcorder on the scene while the only Guardsman talking wrote on our windshield the address we were going to, and the number of occupants in the yellow Hummer in some type of neon green marker. We were given directions to only go to the resident. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/2007%20Greensburg%20Tornado%20Damage/Greensburg001a.jpg Steve's house was in the least hit part of town, which before we arrived was a relief to him. The thought of freely renting the place out to someone in need, disappeared when we arrived. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/2007%20Greensburg%20Tornado%20Damage/Greensburg002a.jpg The previous days, rescue workers had sanctioned off the town, and marked the searched homes with paint.Steve got this marking... http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/2007%20Greensburg%20Tornado%20Damage/Greensburg003a.jpg And a neat little orange paper... http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/2007%20Greensburg%20Tornado%20Damage/Greensburg004a.jpg The Living Room http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/2007%20Greensburg%20Tornado%20Damage/Greensburg005a.jpg The Kitchen http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/2007%20Greensburg%20Tornado%20Damage/Greensburg006a.jpg The Laundry Room http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s17/ksmeteoriteguy/2007%20Greensburg%20Tornado%20Damage/Greensburg007a.jpg Master Bedroom.

After curfew went into effect we left town, but not before a very quick drive around, as many of the other citizens were also doing at the time. The police, from all cities and counties in the lower portion of Kansas, didn't seem to mind and were quite understanding of the town's citizens needing to see for themselves. To give a good ideal of the damage, the following photographs were taken with my camera, while I was using the camcorderstanding through the roof of Steve's hummer, while we quickly went

[meteorite-list] Titanium content
Yes, Randy is correct about titanium content varying around the Moon. What are the petrological reasons why this varies? In southeast Pennsylvania, we have high titanium diabase intrusions (The York Haven intrusion) and low titanium diabase intrusions in highly folded and complex rocks which date from the precambrian. The lunar variation does not have the same cause, I am sure. But what are some of the ideas that account for the lunar variation? Francis Graham Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo!

[meteorite-list] Wired mention of tornado and SA
http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/05/what_happened_t.html What Happened to Greensburg Half a year ago, Wired ran a story about a guy who'd built a makeshift metal detector to hunt for meteorites under the corn and wheat fields of southwestern Kansas. Steve Arnold wasn't a Kansan, but he took a house in Greensburgheart of Kiowa countyto be near the fields that, thousands of years ago, were the site of the Brenham meteor fall. Greensburg already had, as a roadside attraction, a 1,000-pound specimen of pallasite meteorite, the largest ever found in the US, until Arnold found a bigger rock. When we did the Wired Science TV show pilot we went to Greensburg to talk to Arnold. We even found another rockours was only about a 50-pounder, on sale now for $12,000. The town was a perfectly nice place. Lots of boarded-up stores on the main drag, just like you find in any town in the middle of the country these days. Lots of open space. Not too many places to get a meal. Trim little houses. And now Greensburg is basically gone. On Saturday, a tornado more than half a mile wide ripped through town, with winds more than 200 miles per hour. That's an F-5, for you stormwatchers. There isn't much left. Wired's photo editor, Zana Woods, pinged Steve Arnold. Turns out he's okay; he wasn't in town. His house is as ripped up as the rest of the place. I've never been anywhere that isn't there anymore. I mean, the people of Greensburg will rebuild. The town as an idea is still there even if the physical structures are now, as one news report had it, largely reduced to 30-foot-high piles of rubble. The 1,000-pound pallasite at the Big Well is gone, apparently. No one knows where. We build our cities out of things, objectswood and plaster, mostly. Some metal. And sometimes nature pulls all those things apart, reveals their guts. I was in Greensburg for a night. That's it. We didn't even stay in town for dinner. But all of us at Wired and Wired Science are thinking about the residents there. Our hearts go out to them because, even if we can't know what it feels like to lose every concrete thing that says home, we know a little about what it means to remember things that live only in time but no longer in space. It's hard enough to remember a world that no longer existsas all of us do: you can't go home again. But to have that world ripped away by force, all of a sudden? Awful. We wish them well as they rebuild. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Bassikounou meteorite fall
Dear list, widely unnoticed by the meteoritic community on October 12, 2006 at 04:00 hrs a spectacular meteorite shower fell at the village of Bassikounou in southeast Mauretania. Meanwhile the petrographic and mineralogic analysis of the meteoritic material collected has been completed at the University of Bern, Switzerland. The new fall has been submitted by B. Hofmann to the NomCom of the Meteoritical Society. Despite the fact that the event caused a considerable sensation in the Mauretanian media and public, only few details of this event came to light at present. This may partly be due to the fact that the media in the capital Nouakchott as well as the local mineral dealers were convinced until February 2007, that only a single mass fell at Bassikounou. Due to the extreme remoteness of the fall area it took months until the stones that had been collected since the morning after the fall found their way to people who could value their importance. However no thorough attempts have been made so far, to investigate the circumstances of the fall. With the aid of a local journalist, local authorities and experts from the European Fireball Network my colleague Matthias Baermann and I are currently trying to draw a picture of what exactly happened. We succeeded in collecting numerous photos from the strewnfield, eye witness reports as well as newspaper articles and press releases covering the event. Work on a catalogue of the meteoritic masses collected so far is under progress as well. We are positive to publish our results shortly before the Ensisheim Fair on June 15. Including the six masses we were able to acquire we currently count a TKW of ~ 42kg. Two Bassikounou masses are pictured on our page at: www.niger-meteorite-recon.de/en/meteoriten_verkauf.htm Because we intend the Bassikounou catalogue to describe as much single masses as possible in detail we kindly offer those among you, that have purchased Bassikounou, to send us a factsheet of your masses including weight, number of surfaces, taxonomic description and special features as well as the name of the finder or seller. If we have your agreement we will include the name of the current owner in the catalogue. Beside intelligence on the meteoritic individuals and fragments we are asking for further information on the event itself. Especially observations and descriptions of the fireball, sound phenomena and shock wave are welcome, any additional piece of information counts. Please indicate your sources in case of second hand information.

[meteorite-list] High-titanium magma on the Moon
Randy wrote: Earth-based spectroscopy of the near side as well as whole-moon spectroscopy by the Clementine mission show that high-Ti basalts are really not so common on the Moon. Hello All, One such lunar high-titanium area was visited by the Apollo 17 astronauts in the Taurus Littrow Valley (Mare Serenitatis) where the astronauts took a core sample in an orange patch of soil on the rim of the 120 m diameter impact crater Shorty. The core sample is unique because it is composed completely of volcanic beads with only a minor lithic component in the top 8 cm. The volcanic beads consist of high-Ti orange glasses (9 wt% TiO2) and their crystallized equivalents (black beads). Reference: WEITZ C.M. et al. (1999) Ascent and eruption of a lunar high-titanium magma as inferred from the petrology of the 74001/2 drill core (MAPS 34-4, 1999, pp. 527-540).

Hello Everyone Well, where do I start. I can't start at the beginning because I don't really remember much of it. Suffice it to say that I am home now. My recovery is nowhere complete as I need 2-3 more surgeries in a few months. I am ambulatory with the aid of a walker and I literally had to learn to walk, batch, lift, etc all over again. I can walk a few feet unaided but I will have to curtail that activity a bit because I fell last night trying to change my shirt and the incident incurred the wrath of my wife! I have four drainage bags either attached to or hanging from my abdomen. Yuck! I have other injuries as well which will take up to a year to heal. Well enough about me. Words cannot adequately express the sincere appreciation I have for your emails, donation of money and meteorites and general hang-in-there support and encouragement. I will try to answer individual emails as my tired body will allow. I lost 25-30 lbs. while in the hospital and I get exhausted easily, I have to rest now but I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate all you have done for me and my family. -Walter Branch __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list -- No virus found in this incoming message.

[meteorite-list] Comment on M. Blood's Met. Market Trends 05-07
Hello Michael, The Meteorite Collectors Price Guide, by David Weir, to which you refer in your recent Meteorite Times article (just after Kevin's contribution), was compiled by me for about 5 years, up until January 2001, the beginning of the new millennium, when I quit revising it. At that time I allowed Doug (Meteorite Express) to work on it at his pleasure and I removed its link from my website. He continued to update it (mostly the date) in a very minor way. You're correct, it's quite obsolete. At the time I quit revising it, the NWA boom had led to widely varying, abnormal market conditions, almost impossible to adequately monitor, and the price range listed had grown so wide that no meaningful information could be derived from it any longer. My interest in recording prices was for my collection goals just as it was for Kevin and probably Thomas and others, but this was at a time when the number of dealers could be counted on both hands and ANY meteorite offered for sale was a great occasion. A large percentage of meteorite types were unavailable or unknown. Conversely, at the present time every collector is a dealer (primary, secondary, tertiary, etc.), ebay lists dozens of pages of meteorites of every variety for auction, Google searches are magical, and lunar and martian stones, along with samples from the very rarest of groups, are relatively easy to acquire. My Availability Code -- 1) Good Luck!, 2) Here, There, 3) Everywhere -- would now be all 2's and 3's. I doubt if any price guide is able to provide a realistic and timely picture of the current market price ranges; in fact, I was often told this about my own price guide, which was modeled after Philip Bagnall's efforts in his informative book, by some dealers (by yourself too as I recall, and I even included a median price). I felt my efforts were still worthwhile at the time, and it provided me with the information I needed to have -- the difference between a good price and a bad price -- at my fingertips.

I am going to have to set the record straight on this one Stan. Mike and I have been very restrained concerning our sale of the silicated iron slice to you, last fall. We have NOT been out there spreading rumors about you. However, I HAVE received numerous emails from other dealers asking if I have had problems with you paying. I have been very reserved and careful how I answer these emails and I am sure Mike has been as well since we jointly owned the meteorite that we sold you. Keep in mind that it is YOU that has not responded to any email or telephone messages by Me or Mike since the Tucson show.

Some people have been claiming that prices I'm being quoted are horribly inflated - others have said my best sources are out to pork me. Those who know me know that I have spent some time and effort building up a fairly descent collection and at this point I just simply dont know what to do anymore, or who I can trust. I was (only halfway) joking when I talked to Blaine Reed on the phone the other day when I told him that if I found out that he was porking me too I would just put my entire collection up on ebay in a single no reserve sale. (I've known Blaine since I was about 13). No worries though Blaine is a trustworthy guy. So long story short. I'm not dead. I'm not planning on running off with a bunch of space rocks and hoarding them all to myself. Ive just been frustrated - and probably in retrospect didn't handle the situation in the best way possible. Ive been talking with some close friends as of late with regards to what they think I should do and if I have something outstanding with you I will take care of it shortly. Meteorites has first and foremost been a passion of mine. ever since i was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. When I realize that wasn't a likely job prospect I turned to meteorites to bring a little bit of space down to earth to me. Unfortunatly the commercial side of meteorites and all the backstabbing and other BS that goes along with it has taken a bit of the magic out of this collectors passion. stan __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Best Regards..Kevin W.L.Decker. Humm... I don't think that detector that was destroyed was the one that Stockwell actually used. He used one that was like a wheelbarrow. In fact, I know one that has the actual detector that Stockwell used to find this meteorite. I saw the unit with my own eyes. It is quite amazing, completely hand made, and powered with batteries and tubes. But I won't reveal the owner's name unless he does so himself.

Re: [meteorite-list] Looking for STAN TURECKI - Anybody live nearTampa?
Ok, so because I said the Moroccans ripped you off, you then decided that was an excuse not to pay me or all the other people you owe money too? Is it just me is this the most BULLSHIT excuse I have ever heard! So if I said that (and although I don't recall), then I did not mention any names, so for you to then insert the names is wrong. I just want my money, and I have sent you at least 30 emails and phone messages since October, and you lied to me many times, saying the checks were returned, they were in the mail, they were lost etc. So again, why would anything I said about Moroccans translate into a valid reason for you to refuse to answer or pay for the meteorite slice you have had possesion of for the last nearly 8 months? Pay me and we can consider the case closed. This would never have been mde public but for your refusal to answer emails and phone calls, an even questions through ebay so I know you saw them. Michael Farmer --- stan . [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stan, why bring me into this? I never told you Habibi or Aaronson were screwing you? When might I have told you this? What I do know, is that when you take something in October, and refuse to pay until May, and refuse to answer phone calls, or emails, then you are not paying for the item, and refusal to pay for what you buy means theft. I will be pleased when you pay for the slice, that will take care of some unfinished business, which allows me to take care of my own bills. Michael Farmer But to blame me for your own lack of respect for others, that is pitiful. ok i PROMISE this will be my last post on the subject. you have been bilked out of hundreds of thousands of $ by the morrocians, I would think that you could at least pay me That was the voice mail you left me about the slice not too long after tucson. If you know what kind of deals I'm getting and that i'm getting porked in them then you would darn well know that the ONLY moroccains I buy from Aziz Habbibi and Adan Aaronson. Period. Two guys who I had considered my best sources till you said what you did. Since that time I have hurd all sorts of conflicting BS back and forth. If you werent serious about what you said then you shouldnt have said it - because I took the statement to be true when I listened to it. stan _ Now you can see trouble before he arrives http://newlivehotmail.com/?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_viral_protection_0507 __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Greensburg Charity Meteorite Raffle
Dear Listees: Here are preliminary details regarding the Greensburg, KS charity raffle: http://www.aerolite.org/events/greensburg-fundraiser.htm And here are the prizes we have on offer so far. Thank you to everyone who has already given: http://www.aerolite.org/events/greensburg-raffle.htm We'd be very delighted to receive more donations of meteorites or meteorite-related prizes -- large or small. That's my department. Email me photos and specs, or just mail me the specimen(s). I'll take photos for you and add them to the website. Please state how you would like your name/company name to appear (as donor). Greensburg is one of the most famous meteorite towns in the world. If you've ever enjoyed looking at a Brenham pallasite; reading Space Rocks and Buffalo Grass; watching the Cash Treasures, or Wired Science shows; or any of Steve's many TV news appearances, now would be a great time to say thanks to the town that helped make those experiences possible. Rafffle tickets are $10 each and you can buy as many as you like. To purchase, please email our friend Maria Haas at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . . or you can just PayPal funds to her. Her email address is the same as her PayPal account. She is very well experienced with fundraisers and you can trust her with your $$ : ) As mentioned earlier, our primary goal is to get money up to Greensburg NOW to help some of those people who have lost their homes and belongings. Bear with us, and we'll provide details of where and when the charity raffle will take place later on. So, please chip in whatever you can today. I hear from Maria that we already have more than $1,000 in hand and/or pledged, and about another $1,000 worth in raffle prizes. Mark Bostick and Steve Arnold are on the ground in KS figuring out the best way to get funds to people who need help the most. I'm sure they'll post reports when they can. We'll be adding more material to the website shortly, including personal memories and photos of Greensburg. Please contact me off-List if you'd like to contribute something to that project.
