Re: [meteorite-list] Weston
Robson also sleuthed out the most likely coordinates for the Weston fall centroid, which differ from those given in the Catalogue and MetBase. I have entered these in the MetBull Database, if anybody wants to see them: http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/index.php?code=24249 Jeff At 11:39 PM 8/18/2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: M. Robson gave a talk at MetSoc meeting here in Tucson on Thursday. There is something less than 50 pounds accounted for (I think). I am trying to get him to write an article for Meteorite, but it probably would not be until the February issue. Larry On Sat, August 18, 2007 6:05 pm, Sterling K. Webb wrote: Hi, Darren, List, The NHM Catalogue of Meteorites says: After the appearance of a fireball (traveling from N to S), and detonations, a shower of several stones fell over an area about 10 miles in length. The total weight was estimated at 330 lb .(149.7 kg) and the largest stone, which broke into fragments, at 200 lb. (90.7 kg), B. Silliman J.L. Kingsley (1809, 1869). It further lists 3220.4 grams (3.22 kg) in fourteen institutional collections. Does this mean that 330 lb. were collected of which the location of only 50 lbs. is known? Known by whom? The biggest piece listed by the NHM Catalogue is 1200 grams at ASU in Tempe. I assume your source is Yale's Peabody Museum: http://www.yale.edu/peabody/collections/met/met_weston.html which has the 16,571 gram piece (36.5 lbs.). Apparently, the NHM does not recognize Yale University as an institution, or the Peabody as a collection, or something similarly twitty. Or perhaps Yale is not known to the NHM. The 7 lbs. that are listed by the NHM, subtracted from the remaining 14 lbs., leaves 7 lbs., or less than 3200 grams, in the hands of private collectors, assuming this kind of arithmetic is correct, which it likely isn't. The key word is known. The article says 50 lbs. are known. Known by whom? Known in what time frame? 40 years ago? In a world where the British Museum does not know about Yale University, what does known mean? With an old fall, there may be (are) collected pieces whose present owner does not know what they are. Almost two centuries for pieces to diffuse through collections allows for a lot of spread. And there were 330 lbs. to start with (Yale says 350 lbs.). It's still on the planet... somewhere. Sterling K. Webb - Original Message - From: Darren Garrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2007 6:38 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Weston Any estimates of how much of Weston is in private collections? I read one source saying only around 50 lbs are known, around 36 pounds in one mass. So if accurate that would obviously leave only around 14 pounds for other museums and private collectors. __ 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 mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list Dr. Jeffrey N.
