Re: [meteorite-list] How 'bout a Wise meteorite?
Okay...this is what I get out of this event. First of all, it occurred while the Lyrid meteor shower is active and the radiant was still up. So it could be a Lyrid, although this Major shower isn't all that major every year, but still active. The Lyrids peak around April 21/22. Lyrid or not, I get the impression that it was of short duration and moved relatively fast...that is not an earthgrazer. I interpret this from the statement that says, brief spectacle and the fireball streaked down on an easterly arc. These also make me want to lean in the direction that it could be a Lyrid. The Lyrids have a relatively fast entry velocity of 48 km/s. Lyrid or sporadic, I get the impression that it was cometary material all the same. Thus too fast for a meteorite dropping object made up of stronger asteroidal material. I recognize the often typical witness statement of ...at what appeared to be just a few hundred feet above the terrain. Which often means to them that it landed just right over yonder or something like that. In actuality this object was probably at least a hundred miles away. When a meteor appears to be streaking down near the horizon, it's either a long ways off or should be producing sonic booms for someone to report followed by a large impact. So...my overall impression is that it was a nice show for the Ooo and Ahhher's, but not a meteorite dropper. :O) GeoZay **Check all of your email inboxes from anywhere on the web.

[meteorite-list] Villalbeto de la Pena strewnfield
Yes, Pierre, there will be a dam near Villalbeto. I was there last september hunting for meteorites (without any success) and saw a lot of trucks moving rocks. But as fas as I know it misses by only some hundred meters the southwestern part of the official strewn field, where the small pieces were located. But strewn fields are a dinamic concept... I'll hunt again this field next July, and will take a special look to all this place specially.

Re: [meteorite-list] TAMEDAGHT PHENOMENA MUSEUM METEORITE?
Not only that, but the bulk of the impacting meteorite would still be cold. A few millimeters of incandescent surface wouldn't do this. The only way to get significant heat at the point of impact is from the kinetic energy of the collision itself. And that much energy shouldn't leave much of the original material larger than dust. The whole thing is fishy.

Chris writes: And that much energy shouldn't leave much of the original material larger than dust. Hi Pete and List, In other words, the impacting meteoroid would have had to have a mass big enough to reach the ground at cosmic velocity - impossible for small pieces like the Tamedaght stones! This would take an iron like the Hoba to survive such deceleration forces. But even the Hoba iron seems to have landed rather smoothly. So something like the Canyon Diablo impactor is necessary to yield the results described by Aziz Habibi.

Best wishes, Bernd Nels' post: All, It is pretty obvious that the phenomena viewed is ablated material that has been sucked into the vacuum vortex behind a larger body and been rewelded, if you will to the firey backside of the stone, it then shattered and the shattered pieces are what Mr Habibi has found.

Re: [meteorite-list] Best institutional tektite collections?
Hi List I started some museum pages on my website a while back, it would be great to add to these museums if anyone has photos of tektite collections. www.tektites.co.uk/museums The British Museum of Natural History currently has a very poor display, bar a few nice Ivory Coast tektites. I believe this may improve in the future. The French Natural History Museum sadly has no tektites on display, despite the work by Lacroix. I believe the Czech Natural History Museum has a good display, but I have no more information. In Australia I guess there are a number of excellent displays - Certainly a good display is found in the Western Australian Museum. In the US I have little information - if you have some info and photos of tektite displays you can email me at aub...@tektites.co.uk for inclusion in my webpage. I have learnt that Virgil Barnes donated his collection to the Texas Memorial Museum In the Philippines I believe there are no displays. There used to be one at the Planetarium, but that was under renovation, and I believe still is. No idea if tektites will be back on display there when it opens again.

Re: [meteorite-list] Best institutional tektite collections?
Greetings to all, As we speak, a final inspection is underway leading to the sale of the Futrell tektite collection to a new impact museum in Canada. As soon as the deal is final, I'll circulate details. This will surely be one of the top exhibits ever. While probably not exceptional in any single category, the collection has excellent breadth as well as some famous individual specimens. There is a summary inventory on our website (TektiteSource.com)on the Futrell collection page. It'll be great to finally have this collection out where we can see it all arrayed before us!
