Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Parent Bodies
Hi Pete and Michael: The latest information that I am aware of is by Rivkin, et al. in Icarus in 2006. Ceres is a G-class asteroid (similar to the C-class, carbonaceous, asteroids, but with some differences in its visible spectrum and a little brighter). Rivkin's analysis (of 3-micron observations) is that Ceres is composed of iron-rich clays and about 5% carbonates, which makes it similar to CI meteorites. However, there are other G-class asteroids, so the connection is not as clear cut as with Vesta and the vestoids (sounds like a rock group).

This got me to wondering, are there any meteorites that may be a candidate for Ceres as the parent body? If so, which ones are they? Interestingly enough, Ceres has had also it's share of demoting and upmoting as well. It all goes to show that nothing is very permanent in any of the sciences.

Advices ranged from you are not allowed to touch them to Strange rocks are okay to collect... even from one of the staff of the Perth Museum. Put it in your pocket and don't tell anyone was his reply... and then he laughed, I've been in the desert all my life and I've never seen a meteorite. Good luck! I will still go east to see Kalgoorlie and the mining towns in the desert. I will hunt for some australites and see if I can find any good mineral collecting places. Dig for some gold and just have a nice time. If I happens to stumble onto a suspected meteorite then I have to decide if I just leave it or bring it back to the museum. So far none have been able to cite the law so all I have is advice... guess it all boils down to common sense. I have a GPS, extra batteries, zip lock bags and a pen to mark the bags.

[meteorite-list] Phoenix Mars Lander Continues Tests with Rasp
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/phoenix/release.php?ArticleID=1794 Nasa's Phoenix Mars Lander Continues Tests with Rasp Jet Propulsion Laboratory July 18, 2008 TUCSON, Ariz. -- The team operating NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander plans to tell the lander today to do a second, larger test of using a motorized rasp to produce and gather shavings of frozen ground. The planned test is a preparation for putting a similar sample into one of Phoenix's laboratory ovens in coming days. The instrument with the oven, the Thermal and Evolved- Gas Analyzer (TEGA), will be used to check whether the hard layer exposed in a shallow trench is indeed rich in water ice, as scientists expect, and to identify some other ingredients in the frozen soil. The rasp flings some of the shavings that it produces directly into an opening on the back of the scoop at the end of the lander's robotic arm. The test planned for today differs in several ways from the first test of the rasp on Mars, on July 15. First, we will scrape the terrain before rasping, to expose fresh terrain for sampling, said Richard Volpe of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., an engineer for the Phoenix robotic arm team. Second, we will rasp four times in a row, twice the amount previously.Third, the scoop blade will be run across the rasp holes to pick up as much of the tailings as possible. The test area is in the bottom of a trench about 5 centimeters (2 inches) deep, informally named Snow White, which is also the planned site for acquiring an icy sample for the TEGA instrument. The team wants to be sure to be able to collect and deliver the sample quickly, and early in the Martian morning, in order to minimize the amount of ice lost to vaporization before the material is sealed into the oven. Today's plans include using the Robotic Arm Camera to check repeatedly for any changes in the collected sample during seven hours after getting it into the scoop. The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of the University of Arizona with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

[meteorite-list] Tomorrow in History + AMNH NYC
Dear Listees: Greetings comrades from Tucson. It's been a pretty mild summer so far by our standards. I think 106F is the record to date : ) That's nothing for Tucson. I happened to be looking at one of those Today in History things this evening and found it interesting to note that tomorrow, July 19, is both the 96th anniversary of the great Holbrook fall (1912) and also the day that Apollo 11, carrying the mighty Eagle module went into lunar orbit -- that was 1969 for you youngsters who weren't glued to their TV sets back then. Of course, I was just wee lad myself at the time : ) So many List members have hunted at Holbrook -- I can think of at least twenty without even trying -- that it's a happy anniversary to mark. I often remember how our much-missed colleague the late, great Jim Kriegh would go up there on his own for a few days and come back with more pieces from one visit than I found in five trips. Kinda sad to think that Jim's house, just up the road from me, is now occupied by a non-meteorite hunter. I was in NYC recently -- my first visit in over four years -- and took some time to visit the AMNH and check out the new meteorite exhibit. For the most part it is really spectacular. I can imagine one of the designers saying: You know that show 'Star Trek: Next Generation'? Well, we should make the display look like the bridge from that ship. The hall is very dark, with big ole' 31-ton Ahnighito sitting there in the middle on a raised circular stage, with one stellar iron after another arranged around it. On view is a truly gorgeous Glorieta Mountain siderite, covered in thumbprints and caramel patina, which I know will make a few GM hunters (myself included) almost insanely jealous : ) There is a cool diorama of Canyon Diablo, and all kinds of amazing, assorted goodies in vertical cases on the walls. I found the glass cases a little small and crowded, but the meteorites are so fabulous, who really cares? Many of you will, no doubt, have seen the new hall, which is, I suppose, already a few years old, but even after many years living in NYC it was a first for me. A fine afternoon spent there, and also visiting my favorite Allosaurus in the dinosaur halls. Highly recommended to anyone passing through the Big, Bad Apple. Enjoy your weekend, and kind regards to all from The Baked Apple.
