[meteorite-list] The goose that survived...(YES- it is meteorite related!)
What a hoot... http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world-news/the-goose-that-survived-crashing-into-a-meteorite-only-to-be-savaged-by-a-fox_10016356.html The goose that survived crashing into a meteorite only to be savaged by a fox! February 5th, 2008 - 5:14 pm ICT by admin - Email This Post London, Feb 5 (ANI): A goose survived being hit by a 9lb meteorite and crashing into a car only to fall prey to a hungry fox. And, witness to all this was Brit postman Adrian Mannion who was enjoying his morning cup of tea with wife Fiona when the bizarre set of events unfolded. According to Mannion, the Canada Goose was left dazed when after banging into a meteorite, it fell headlong into his cars roof, causing 2,500 pounds worth of damage. However, there was no reprieve for the bird, for a hungry fox then grabbed it dragged it away before the Mannions could rescue it. We heard two almighty thuds and rushed out to see this large, odd-looking rock next to our Mini and a very poorly-looking mangled goose on the car roof, The Sun quoted Mr Mannion, as saying. A flock of Canada Geese were overhead so the falling stone must have hit the poor creature. Mrs Mannion added: It has to be the unluckiest bird ever. It survived being knocked out by a meteorite only to be savaged by a fox. The meteorite is now being studied by researchers at the University of Derby. It is one of only 1,000 asteroid fragments that hit earth each year. (ANI) Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

[meteorite-list] AD:Special NWA 4901 a pair of the once most expensive NWA ever
Dear collectors, our Special deals this weak with a true legend of the still young history of NWA-meteorites. With NWA 4901 as a pairing of NWA 011 we want to let you participate in that material, which already found his place among the most famous meteorites in the annals of meteoritics. The senior collectors will well remember the enormous shake, NWA 011 provoked in the world of scientists and in the collectors community likewise; the initial debates about its possible origin from Mercury, the distribution of the material and so on. Little shavings sold at 100$ per milligram, making that material to the most expensive NWA ever and the 4th most expensive meteorite - after Calcalong Creek and the very early DaG 400 and 262 in history. It would be foolhardy if we would try to delineate the astounding particularities and circumstances about that meteorite in a detailed manner here, as it never could rival the excellent write-up about NWA 011 on David Weirs page. (who surprisingly is still not yet awarded with the IMCA Gold Medal for the excellent service, that hes supplying for many years to scientists and collectors with his fabulous Meteorite Studies Site!). Therefore we set here the link: http://www.meteoritestudies.com/protected_NWA011.HTM There youll find all results of the analyses of NWA 011, the interpretation, its complex genesis and thermal history, the supposed origin, but also its turbulent human reception here down on Earth. Perhaps in a short form: NWA 4901 has eucritic characteristics, but is a basalt, stemming from an other former large parent body than Vesta. Well, and beside the manmade uproar NWA 4901 with its leopardizing interchange of transparent and opaque crystals.. that meteorite is one of the most eye-appealing and beautiful stones of all in our opinion! And we are sure, that many collectors, who already own a specimen from the pairing-group will fully agree. We decided to set up for sale a couple of budget-sized slices and priced them at a irresistible 180$/g. http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa4901.html Enjoy!

[meteorite-list] Cheap meteorites for classroom give aways
Hi Jason - Agree with you about the Barringer Crater chips being very highly oxidized - but they are cheap, labeled, provenienced, and available, and if you have classroom full of kids... If someone with connections in Russia or Argentina wishes to provide for this market that would be wonderful. I seem to remember that the store there also had inexpensive tektites, as well as coprolites. While this isn't what a hard-core high-end meteorite collector might want, I remember the store as well done and not exploitative. Speaking of the educational market, I seem to remember that years ago the Jensens were selling boxes with many types of micro mounts. E.P. Grondine Man and Impact in the Americas Never miss a thing.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD:Special NWA 4901 a pair of the once mostexpensive NWA ever
Yes it is - normally if you're able to identify quartz on a suspected stone, you can throw it away, as it's no meteorite. But in a very few, of course as you mentioned in very small amounts, quartz is found - e.g. in some Martian basalts, NWa 856 for instance (if I remember right) has some. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Jerry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD:Special NWA 4901 a pair of the oncemostexpensive NWA ever
Cool Martin, guess membership in this list does pay dividends. I learned something. Wonder with all the tossing around this meteorite's history involved, whether the QUARTZ showed signs of Shock?

But in a very few, of course as you mentioned in very small amounts, quartz is found - e.g. in some Martian basalts, NWa 856 for instance (if I remember right) has some. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Jerry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.

[meteorite-list] Ensisheim: What is the TRUE FALL DATE??
Hi List. Can someone tell me why there is a discrepancy to the fall date of Ensisheim? I see some World Class Museums as well as articles with specimen photo's of Ensisheim and they state Fell November 16th 1492 Yet I see other reference articles and meteorite info data bases state Fell November 7th 1492 Is there a reason to this? Are the dates both right? Slightly confused on this.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim: What is the TRUE FALL DATE??
Hi, Don, List, The difference between the two dates is the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Of course, the Gregorian calendar was not devised until after the Fall, so the date of Nov. 7 is what they called that day in the Julian calendar in use at that time, but in a more accurate calendar, the Gregorian (which we use today), it was Nov. 16, by the solar orbit (well, pretty close). Of course, it's not really that simple. I made a really long Post with all the details about all this date confusion back when we were talking about the Nagota fall in Japan in 861 AD. Being a helpful fellow, I went to the List Archives to get you the URL, but it requires a password to look (never used to) but the site doesn't recognize the password I retrieved, so now I'm past caring. I posted it on November 18, 2007 Subject: japan fall date, or something like that, If you want, I can forward you a copy of the post. Let me know. Sterling K.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 52, Issue 9
And notice that he spells meteorite, origin and weight wrong on the certificate! And what does the specimen weight mean? Is that the specimen that is being sold? Obviously not 1655 grams! Or is that the TKW? Or is that the size of the specimen that was tested before they sliced off this specimen? It's amazing that fraud can proliferate like this without someone throwing them in jail. I wish eBay could crack down on people like this (no jail time, but boot them off of eBay). Even if this guy was innocent and was sold the specimen and COA by someone else, he should still be reprimanded because he obviously doesn't have a reputable source and doesn't care.
