[meteorite-list] Mars - micro thin section wanted
I'm posting a message for Tim Heitz, he still cannot post messages to the list. Hello List, I'm looking for a Mars thin section NWA-2975/2986/4766/4783/4857/or 4880 for teaching purposes. I want to put this under a microscope at the St. Louis Science Center for the public to view.

Re: [meteorite-list] follow up on Ziz vs. new iron RFSPOD August 14
Dear Svend, I have read the report of EMTT and i agree with you. I know EMTT and Emmanuel Dransart, who performed the analyses, the purpose being just to bring an opinion on the metallic structure of a meteorite's fragment. Therefore, a polished and etched surface was observed with a binocular, with a picture showing the surface that was observed. The picture displays a kamacite grain with Neumann lines and some silicated phases, rich in pyroxene and olivine. The conclusion of Emmanuel Dransart is that it is an Og Octahedrite, such as Ziz that was also studied at the same lab (EMTT). And as you said, Svend, pairing with Ziz is not claimed, but as far as the 1st examination can tell, their grain size are similar and it is the same type. All the best, Frederic Beroud www.meteoriteshow.com IMCA #2491 - Original Message - From: Dr. Svend Buhl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Meteorite Mailing List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2008 3:45 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] follow up on Ziz vs. new iron RFSPOD August 14 to all interested, The Hmanis asked me to forward a follow up on their new irons including a 34kg specimen they had displayed at this year's Enisheim/France meteorite fair. One of the new finds acquired from another dealer was kindly posted by Michael Johnson as Rocks from Space Picture of the Day on August 14. M. Hmani informed me that he had meanwhile been issued a certificate by the Etudes Metallurgiques et de Traitment Thermique (EMTT) which arrives to the conclusion that grain size and structure of the new material is identical with Ziz (NWA 854). Mr. Hmani was so kind to forward me the certificate on my request and allowed me to upload the paper on my website: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/Meteoritensammlung.htm (see Inventory # B-0243) To my understanding the paper states that the questioned iron is an og octehedrite such as Ziz. According to the certificate a microscopic analysis of an etched surface has been performed but no element mapping or neutron activation scan. I assume, the certificate does not intend to claim a pairing. Please note that this is my personal opinion. cheers Svend www.meteorite-recon.com __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Rosetta stoned
http://pr-usa.net/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=128560Itemid=34 Rosetta spacecraft meets asteroid Steins ESA PR 35-2008. ESAs Rosetta spacecraft will make a historic encounter with asteroid (2867) Steins on 5 September 2008. The doors of ESAs European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, will be open to the media as of 18:00 on 5 September to follow the fly-by events. First images and results will be available for presentation to the media during a press conference which will be held at ESOC the following day, Saturday 6 September at 12:00 CEST. Steins is Rosettas first nominal scientific target. The spacecraft will rendezvous with the asteroid in the course of its first incursion into the asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, while on its way to comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The study of asteroids is extremely important as they represent a sample of Solar System material at different stages of evolution key to understanding the origin of our own planet and of our planetary neighbourhood. The closest approach to Steins is due to take place on 5 September at 20:58 CEST (Central European Summer Time), from a distance of 800 km, during which the spacecraft will not be communicating with Earth. First ground contact with the spacecraft and announcement of successful fly-by will take place at 22:23 CEST. The first data and images collected by Rosetta will be sent to Earth throughout the night of 5 to 6 September and will undergo preliminary processing in the morning of 6 September. The first images will be made available for broadcasters via a special satellite feed on Saturday 6 September (details will be given on http://television.esa.int). To register for the events, please use the form linked from the right menu. The press conference on 6 September will also be streamed on the ESA web: at http://www.esa.int/rosetta.

[meteorite-list] TAZA and ZIZ from EMTT
Hello Few years ago, when I start selling meteorites, I was lucky to buy few Taza's and one superB specimen of Ziz from someone who work in EMTT. Ziz was only 200grams, but it was the most beautifull iron meteorite specimen I have ever seen. For tooday, Ziz is my favorite iron meteorite. Anyway, together with my specimens I received xero copy of EMTT classification done on Ziz and Taza. They are very interesting.Im sure You will like it. Maybe someone can convert them into Adobe Acrobat version to make them more easy to use and store. This is photo copy of 20 pages complete classification done in EMTT http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ZIZ_by_EMTT.rar http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/TAZA_by_EMTT.rar -[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]- http://www.Meteoryty.pl marcin(at)meteoryty.pl http://www.PolandMET.com marcin(at)meteorite.pl http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM: +48 (793) kosmos [ Member of Polish Meteoritical Society ] __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
