[meteorite-list] Updates to the Muonionalusta homepage (second try)

2008-10-26 Thread Göran Axelsson

Hi list!

We have another guy here in Sweden with problem to post so I'm relaying 
this message from Thomas Österberg.


I might have an idea on what the problem is so I'm going to send this 
mail twice and I suspect that the first one will disappear. Sorry if you 
see this twice.


Okay, this is the second mail as the first one hasn't turned up yet, at 
least not for me. I suspect that the problem is when people sends 
Multipart mail, one text copy and one formatted in HTML in the same mail.


Anyone who wants to know what you are sending, just send me a mail and I 
will tell you.


For reference, Thomas Österberg is using Microsoft Outlook, I'm using 
Mozilla Thunderbird in Linux. ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ )

Re: [meteorite-list] Dimethylglyoxime powder for nickel testing

2008-10-26 Thread Francisco Ocaña
I have recently used DMG and nickel allergy test (from Dermadoctor) with 
success, even in low metal Chrondrites.


I was supposed to use 99,9% denatured alcohol, but 96% was Ok and a lot 
cheaper. Instead muriatic acid I use acetic (vinegar) acid, with good 
results (even vinegar worked fine).


And ...of course selfmade test was 50 times cheaper than pre-made nickel 
tests.


My 2 cents,

Paco Ocaña
Madrid, Spain

John.L.Cabassi escribió:

G'Day List
A while back some members were interested in DMG. A good friend of 
mine informed me that he had excess, so if anybody is still 
interested, you can email me off-list and I will forward you his email 
address and you can deal with him directly.


Quote:
I have quite a bit of DMG I bought not realizing how far a little 
will go. So I am offering some of my surplus for those who wish to 
make their own nickel test kits. I will measure them out in 2 gram 
packets of DMG powder, which will make 200ml of DMG solution. Just 
dissolve the DMG powder in 200ml of denatured alcohol, available in 
hardware stores. The hydrochloric acid needed to ionize the nickel in 
stone meteorites is also available in hardware stores as muriatic or 
pool acid, or in pool stores. And the ammonium hydroxide can be 
purchased in any grocery store, or retail store. This will save you a 
lot of money over buying pre-made nickel test kits. I will write up an 
instructional paper to include with the DMG powder packets


Thanks for your time.
Cheers, Johnno

[meteorite-list] 5.6kg sculpted Sikhote individual, 847g Seymchan pallasite - AD

2008-10-26 Thread Meteorite-Recon.com
Ladies and gentlemen,

Due to recent upgrades I will part with two centerpieces from my personal 
collection. Its my pleasure to offer them here.

The first specimen is a meteoritic iron of superior quality and an awe 
inspiring display piece. For sale is a heavily sculpted Sikhote Alin individual 
of 5.6kg (5,690g). The iron has roughly the shape of an igloo with a oval base 
dented with large flat regmaglypts and a hemispherical body displaying much 
smaller but deeper regmaglypts. The specimen shows a plethora of melt features, 
is fully fusion crusted and covered with countless melt rims and delicate flow 
lines. This is a true museum specimen once purchased directly from the Fersman 
Mineralogical Museum at the Russian Acdemy of Sciences in Moscow. Comes with 
the original certificate signed by the curator of the Fersman Mineralogical 
Museum: 6950 $

The second specimen is a 847g pallasite fullslice of the Seymchan meteorite. 
This is not one of the popular credit card thin collector style slices, but a 
thick and heavy 8mm quality as you fill find it in museum collections.  Durable 
and almost indistructable it will likely survive following generations of 
collectors in its pristine state. When I purchased this specimen I selected it 
among others because it demonstrated perfectly the transition from the iron 
phase to the pallasite phase. The specimen shows grouplets of olivine crystals 
enclosed like gemstones by an octahedral matrix. 

Unlike the common market quality the olivines are not oxidized black but of a 
greenish yellow color, a delight to view in daylight and under the microscope. 
Large and beautiful display specimen: 2150 $

For list members I will ship these treasures via express courier, fully insured 
and registered  o n  m y  o w n  c o s t s .  Delivery guaranteed withing three 
workdays. This is a 150$ service to the US, but I rather play safe on these 
irreplacable specimens. The bad news is, I won't be able to send any food 
coupons along. 

And there is another specimen I'd like to part with, in order to make room for 
an individual of this location: for sale is a a 189g fullslice of Glorieta 
Mountain. This specimen was cut from the new main mass found by M. Miller. 
Polished and etched on one side. Outstanding reference specimen: 540 $

I am looking forward to send photos and answer your questions. 

Kind regards

Svend Buhl

Re: [meteorite-list] -- SPAM -- Member Having Problems Posting

2008-10-26 Thread John Gwilliam
If you check back in the List Archives, you will find that there have 
been several people who have problems sending and/or receiving mail 
to/from the Met List.
Several weeks ago, I noticed that mail from the List was getting 
sporadic.  Sometimes, I wouldn't receive mail for two or three days 
only to have it all show up several days later.  Many emails that I 
posted to the List showed up in the Archives but I never received a 
copy in my Inbox.  Bob Holmes and I found that we both had the same 
issues.  After comparing notes, we discovered that the latest episode 
of no mail received happened to both of us on the same day at the 
same hour. Since we've been friends for many years, we knew that we 
were both customers of the server giant COX.net.  Both of us made 
several phone calls to our server but got no results.  Bob signed up 
with an email account supplied by a friends website and I signed up a 
gmail account as suggested by Art.  We both now receive Met List 
posting regularly and on time.  My old COX account will now 
sporadically send me mail for the list, but it is all marked spam.


The only conclusion we could come to was that the problem originated 
with COX and not with Art's server.  I know in the past that many of 
you who were with Comcast and Aol has the same frustrating 
problems.  I my humble opinion, the problem is caused by servers 
installing software to automate more processes that presort mail 
looking for SPAM or junk mail.


Good luck fixing your problem. My faith in our high tech world is 
fading rapidly.

Hi John and All,

You wrote:

processes that presort mail looking for SPAM or junk mail.

That is easy enough to fix, too.
Check your Junk Mail, and anything there that shouldn't be can be highlighted 
and marked: NOT JUNK (or similar). 
That would keep List mail out of there in the future.

Cheers,
Pete

Re: [meteorite-list] -- SPAM -- Member Having Problems Posting

2008-10-26 Thread John.L.Cabassi

G'Day List
I appreciate everyone's input on this problem. One thing that I have noticed 
recently is that I receive posts through my email and normally after reading 
them, I delete them. Then I go to the met list site to read some lengthy 
posts or check on a sale that somebody has posted. But when I get to the 
list site, 40% of them that I receive on any particular day does not show up 
on the list site.  I use RoadRunner and don't have a problem with receiving 
email from the list, but I was just wondering if people are having the same 
problem on the met list site. I received 9 emails in regards to this, only 4 
show up on the met list site even though they were sent to the met list 
site.


Cheers
John

[meteorite-list] Newbie Meteorite Hunter Question - For the Vets, Pros and Finder-Extraordinaires.

2008-10-26 Thread Michael Gilmer
Hi Ladies, Gentlemen, and assorted fair listoids!

I have a couple of burning questions for the veteran meteorite hunters who go 
out into the field.

First, the setup :

I was doing a bit of meteorite web-surfing today and I ended up on Svend Buhl's 
website.  His articles and 
photos that document his expeditions are fascinating to read.  Reading them, 
got me daydreaming about
doing some meteorite hunting myself.  Since the wife and I are only months away 
from hitting the road
in our RV, I plan on doing some meteorite hunting while we are out boondocking 
in remote locations.

Any meteorite hunting I do will be on US or Canadian soil, since we don't plan 
on doing any international
travel.

So, now my burning questions :

1) What are the US federal laws regarding finding and removing meteorites from 
federally-administered
lands?  What about state and national parks?  Are Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM) areas any 
different from state and national parks in regarding to meteorite hunting.

2) Suppose I am out stargazing in the middle of nowhere, like out in Death 
Valley away from roads and
civilization.  And then suppose I get lucky and find a meteorite on land that I 
determine is state or
federally-owned.  What is my next step?  What do I do?  Can I remove the 
meteorite, after documenting
it in-situ properly?  And then where do I take it so it can be added to science 
without getting myself
arrested and/or fined?

3) Suppose I find a meteorite located on remote land that is owned by some 
large holding company or
corporation?  Let's say that I find a meteorite on property owned by one of the 
big natural gas companies.
What do I do then?  Do I document it and then contact the company that owns the 
land?  Then what?
Do I just surrender it to them, or do we work out some kind of deal where I can 
donate it and get a slice
or endcut for my trouble?

4) Is there any kind of pass or permit that I can acquire from the states or 
federal government that will
allow me to keep meteorites (or minerals) that I find on state/federal land?

5) Do any of these rules vary for different types of finds? - i.e., minerals, 
rocks, fossils, relics, precious
stones/metals, etc.

Thanks in advance!

[meteorite-list] A newbie question on Nantans

2008-10-26 Thread Carl 's


Hi,
If people saw the Nantan meteorite fall in 1516, why is this referred as a find 
in 1958 in the Met Bull database? This may have been discussed earlier but I 
can't find it.
Thanks! Carl

Re: [meteorite-list] -- SPAM -- Member Having Problems Posting

2008-10-26 Thread John Gwilliam
Thanks for the tip.  Bob Holmes and I did just that with no 
results.  What we found out was that our server (COX) required we 
send a copy of an email from EVERY MET LIST MEMBER and tell the 
server that it wasn't SPAM.  Evidently, every Met List email is 
considered separate from the List itself.  I just don't have the 
patience to spend hours and hour trying to fix a problem that didn't 
exist last year or even ten years ago. It was easier for me to 
subscribe to the Met List with a Gmail account.  It, by the way, has 
worked fast and flawless.

That is easy enough to fix, too.
Check your Junk Mail, and anything there that shouldn't be can be 
highlighted and marked: NOT JUNK (or similar).

That would keep List mail out of there in the future.

Cheers,
Pete

 Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] -- SPAM -- Member Having Problems Posting

 If you check back in the List Archives, you will find that there have
 been several people who have problems sending and/or receiving mail
 to/from the Met List.
 Several weeks ago, I noticed that mail from the List was getting
 sporadic. Sometimes, I wouldn't receive mail for two or three days
 only to have it all show up several days later. Many emails that I
 posted to the List showed up in the Archives but I never received a
 copy in my Inbox. Bob Holmes and I found that we both had the same
 issues. After comparing notes, we discovered that the latest episode
 of no mail received happened to both of us on the same day at the
 same hour. Since we've been friends for many years, we knew that we
 were both customers of the server giant COX.net. Both of us made
 several phone calls to our server but got no results. Bob signed up
 with an email account supplied by a friends website and I signed up a
 gmail account as suggested by Art. We both now receive Met List
 posting regularly and on time. My old COX account will now
 sporadically send me mail for the list, but it is all marked spam.

 The only conclusion we could come to was that the problem originated
 with COX and not with Art's server. I know in the past that many of
 you who were with Comcast and Aol has the same frustrating
 problems. I my humble opinion, the problem is caused by servers
 installing software to automate more processes that presort mail
 looking for SPAM or junk mail.

 Good luck fixing your problem. My faith in our high tech world is
 fading rapidly.

 Best,

 John Gwilliam

It has been brought to my attention that Greg Catterton has been
having problems posting to the met list. He seems to receive email,
but cannot post. So, I am acting on his behalf to try and resolve 
the problem.


I would really appreciate some help on this issue or at least
someone to contact in regards to the problem.

Thanks in advance,

[meteorite-list] Ad? new forum

2008-10-26 Thread Greg Catterton
Hi to all! I can post again!! happy days.

I started a new forum. Please, if you have the time, stop by and check it out. 
If you like what you see, feel free to join - I can always use more input to it.
It is a new site but already has a great member list of really nice people.
It is run and moderated by 3 members of the IMCA.

I have alot of info (it may be pretty basic to some) but it is growing and with 
time I hope it will be a nice site for meteorite information.

Here is the link to it:
http://www.hostingphpbb.com/forum/index.php?mforum=wwwmeteoritesto

I hope to see some of you all on there - I would really like some of the more 
experienced collectors and dealers to offer input to it.

I have a section for ebay ads, feel free to list as much as you want. I 
currently have 14 members and I am sure you would get a few sales from them.
I also have several samples that I have had tested and I have uploaded some 
real nice full size pictures from the testing.

I am currently having an LL3 sample tested that looks to have mesosiderite 
inclusions, so you will be able to see the status of the testing on that.

I am also starting a nice database on meteorites with info, video, pictures and 
whatever else I can gather - if you have a favorite meteorite, please feel free 
to add it.

That said, please tkae the time to visit and join - even if you rarely post - I 
would still like to have the members from here join as I value your knowledge 
and input.


Best to all,

Greg Catterton
