Re: [meteorite-list] STOMACH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Moissanite
Today nearly all moissanites (silicon-carbide) on the market are man made, and older diamond-testers can´t find the difference between diamond and moissanite (had to buy another tester, and it wasn´t cheap). So I´m not a very big fan of moissanite ;-) Natural moissanite is very rare, and it´s also very difficult to find out, if stone is synthetich or natural. Usually they are syntetichs, think natural moissenite it priced higher than diamond. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_carbide best, pekka s Pete Pete kirjoitti: Dear List, I'm curious if any have been faithful to our meteorite passion and made a jewellery purchase with moissanite? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moissanite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moissanite I've had a look at these gems, and they are quite spectacular!

[meteorite-list] NASA Researchers Discover Life's Building Block in Comet
Nancy Neal Jones / Bill Steigerwald Goddard Space Flight Center, Md. 301 286 0039 / 5017 RELEASE : 09-100AR SOURCE: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/news/releases/2009/09-100AR.html August 17th 2009 NASA Researchers Discover Life's Building Block in Comet MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. -- NASA scientists have discovered glycine, a fundamental building block of life, in samples of comet Wild 2 returned by NASA's Stardust spacecraft. Glycine is an amino acid used by living organisms to make proteins, and this is the first time an amino acid has been found in a comet, said Jamie Elsila of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. Our discovery supports the theory that some of life's ingredients formed in space and were delivered to Earth long ago by meteorite and comet impacts. Elsila is the lead author of a paper on this research accepted for publication in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science. The research was presented during the meeting of the American Chemical Society at the Marriott Metro Center, Washington, DC, Aug. 16, 2009. The discovery of glycine in a comet supports the idea that the fundamental building blocks of life are prevalent in space, and strengthens the argument that life in the universe may be common rather than rare, said Carl Pilcher, director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute headquartered at NASA Ames Research Center, which co-funded the research. Proteins are the workhorse molecules of life, used in everything from structures like hair to enzymes, the catalysts that speed up or regulate chemical reactions. Just as the 26 letters of the alphabet are arranged in limitless combinations to make words, life uses 20 different amino acids in a huge variety of arrangements to build millions of different proteins. Stardust passed through dense gas and dust surrounding the icy nucleus of Wild 2 (pronounced Vilt-2) on January 2, 2004. As the spacecraft flew through this material, a special collection grid filled with aerogel – a novel sponge-like material that's more than 99 percent empty space – gently captured samples of the comet's gas and dust. The grid was stowed in a capsule which detached from the spacecraft and parachuted to Earth on January 15, 2006. Since then, scientists around the world have been busy analyzing the samples to learn the secrets of comet formation and our solar system's history. We actually analyzed aluminum foil from the sides of tiny chambers that hold the aerogel in the collection grid, said Elsila. As gas molecules passed through the aerogel, some stuck to the foil. We spent two years testing and developing our equipment to make it accurate and sensitive enough to analyze such incredibly tiny samples. Earlier, preliminary analysis in the Goddard labs detected glycine in both the foil and a sample of the aerogel. However, since glycine is used by terrestrial life, at first the team was unable to rule out contamination from sources on Earth. It was possible that the glycine we found originated from handling or manufacture of the Stardust spacecraft itself, said Elsila. The new research used isotopic analysis of the foil to rule out that possibility. Isotopes are versions of an element with different weights or masses; for example, the most common carbon atom, Carbon 12, has six protons and six neutrons in its center (nucleus). However, the Carbon 13 isotope is heavier because it has an extra neutron in its nucleus. A glycine molecule from space will tend to have more of the heavier Carbon 13 atoms in it than glycine that's from Earth. That is what the team found. We discovered that the Stardust-returned glycine has an extraterrestrial carbon isotope signature, indicating that it originated on the comet, said Elsila. The team includes Daniel Glavin and Jason Dworkin of NASA Goddard. Based on the foil and aerogel results it is highly probable that the entire comet-exposed side of the Stardust sample collection grid is coated with glycine that formed in space, adds Glavin. The discovery of amino acids in the returned comet sample is very exciting and profound, said Stardust Principal Investigator Professor Donald E. Brownlee of the University of Washington, Seattle, Wash. It is also a remarkable triumph that highlights the advancing capabilities of laboratory studies of primitive extraterrestrial materials. The research was funded by the NASA Stardust Sample Analysis program and the NASA Astrobiology Institute. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Stardust mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, developed and operated the spacecraft.

You are welcome to post that on the Cafe... and if you need pics of a selection of them, let me know. cheers - Ted Brattstrom --- On Sun, 8/16/09, Joe Kerchner skyrockmeteori...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Joe Kerchner skyrockmeteori...@yahoo.com Subject: [meteorite-list] fake/bogus ebay auctions To: meteorite list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Sunday, August 16, 2009, 1:02 PM hello listees, A heads up to everyone, you can see and or list any ebay auctions that are suspect and are selling bogus stones and trying to pass them off as meteorites or listing them as something other than what they are.

[meteorite-list] looking for classification advice for fresh find
Dear List, I received a new meteorite directly from a Moroccan dealer last week, that looks remarkably fresh. The dealer told me the 314g stone was broken in (three) fragments by the nomad who found it. Also the name of the town of find was provided. My first thought was that it would be one of recent years falls. The dealer insists it's not. As I thought the price to be OK, I decided to buy. I studied the pieces, and compared them to my Bassikounou: The material looks whiter than Bassikounou (that again looks whiter (less grey) than Chergach to me). It has a lot of free iron (more than visible in the photographs) and few visible larger chondrules. Based on the free iron, I would not expect it to be LL like Bensour. Tested with a magnet, it is attracted strongly, but slightly less than Bassikounou an H-type chondrite. And last, the crust has almost no dust (fine sand) contamination, like Bassikounou typically has. My question is how to deal with this stone, with respect to classification. Does this stone deserve more than the standard NWA classification? Should for instance terrestrial age be determined? I would appreciate some guidance from List members who are (professionally) involved in meteorite research. http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/314g/314g-NWA.html Kind regards, Rob Lenssen __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] looking for classification advice for fresh find
Hello Rob, That is a very nice and fresh stone. I would say it does not represent any of the recent NWA falls. I would send it in to have it classified, and request the classifying scientist to have the terrestrial age dating performed by an approved lab. Obviously it will not get a distinct name without witnesses and GPS coords, but I think that it would be worth classifying. Good luck with it!

Re: [meteorite-list] Elliott Collection Sale Results
What might be interesting to note is the error on the auctioneer's website. The auction started at 1pm GMT, not the advertised 2pm GMT. Time in the UK isn't on GMT, because of daylight savings, and the auction thus started an hour earlier than was advertised online. Seems to me that Rob might have solid grounds for a lawsuit.

Re: [meteorite-list] looking for classification advice for fresh find
Whatever it is, it looks very very fresh.

I would say it does not represent any of the recent NWA falls. I would send it in to have it classified, and request the classifying scientist to have the terrestrial age dating performed by an approved lab. Obviously it will not get a distinct name without witnesses and GPS coords, but I think that it would be worth classifying. Good luck with it!

The dealer told me the 314g stone was broken in (three) fragments by the nomad who found it. Also the name of the town of find was provided. My first thought was that it would be one of recent years falls. The dealer insists it's not. As I thought the price to be OK, I decided to buy. I studied the pieces, and compared them to my Bassikounou: The material looks whiter than Bassikounou (that again looks whiter (less grey) than Chergach to me). It has a lot of free iron (more than visible in the photographs) and few visible larger chondrules. Based on the free iron, I would not expect it to be LL like Bensour. Tested with a magnet, it is attracted strongly, but slightly less than Bassikounou an H-type chondrite. And last, the crust has almost no dust (fine sand) contamination, like Bassikounou typically has. My question is how to deal with this stone, with respect to classification. Does this stone deserve more than the standard NWA classification? Should for instance terrestrial age be determined? I would appreciate some guidance from List members who are (professionally) involved in meteorite research. http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/314g/314g-NWA.html Kind regards, Rob Lenssen __ 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 __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list -- .

I'm sorry you feel this way Greg. I think you misunderstood the shaft thing but then again you and your brother have always been quick to label things before you give them much thought. I remember all your old hippie posts and I don't appreciate this crap insinuating I use drugs as of course I do not. Typical Hupe nonsense. Long hair = drug use. You are sniveling not me.

Re: [meteorite-list] STOMACH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!
Yeah, this list has been pretty much cleaned up and for the last year and a half a single black blotch has been keeping this list from becoming a respectible list again like it was 10 years ago when many scientists were happy to post and be a part of the list and not worry about being associated with scumbags. All culprets in the mud slinging except one has started creating a new community spirit again on this list. I think I speak for almost everybody when I say that we wish Bill would go away and let us have our meteorite list back and not continue with the mud slinging list.

I am offering a $300.00 shopping spree in my ebay store to which ever list member wins the most auctions. A pretty simple game with big rewards. Just bid and win as many of those 49 auctions and be the winner of the most auctions and you then can go shopping in my ebay store and use the $300.00 on whatever you like. SEE ALL AUCTIONS HERE: http://shop.ebay.com:80/merchant/meteorite-collector_W0QQLHQ5fAuctionZ1QQ The last game was a big, big success and I gave out 2($250.00) shopping sprees and one other shopping spree for $150.00 (If I remember correctly). This time the game is FOR LIST MEMBERS ONLY. My last one was open to all ebayers, but that was just a little overwhelming with email questions. However, the game brought many new people into meteorites. I have about 20,000 people who visit my ebay store each month and when I ran the game the last time my visits exceeded 20,000 just for 5 days! Anyway, the rules are simple. Try and win as many auctions as possible. There

Greg, Bill Kies quoting the lyrics of Shaft went right over my head. I didn't see the relevance, where as, I think you went completely off the deep end with your reply! Talk about rants! Talk about calling the kettle black! I think your first instinct to ask why are you replying to Bill's post was the right question to ask. I bet that if you would compose your email, then wait about 30 minutes before hitting the send button your better self might have a chance to regain control and the list would be better off.

[meteorite-list] AD: Rare Meteorites and New Website
Good Evening List, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce my new site: www.HistoricMeteorites.com It didn't make much sense to keep AstroArtifacts, as I no longer collect Space Program Hardware and meteorites are not artifacts, so I have been working on a new site for the last few months. I wanted a site and name that best represent my personal collecting habits and Historic Meteorites was just the fit. There are some sections that will not be complete for a few months including my collection gallery. Its crazy the amount of time it takes to photograph and describe each piece. I hope to have that part finished by Fall of this year. Those of you who aren't tapped out from the Elliott Auction can visit the sales page direct here: http://historicmeteorites.com/HistoricMeteorites/Sales.html There are many nice specimens including some extremely rare falls for sale. Please contact me off-list if you see something you want or if you catch any typos or problems with the site. I appreciate your time!

Re: [meteorite-list] STOMACH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!
Hello Chicago Mike F., Went back and re-read the thread,... Are we all just going to sit around and let bill kies(parkforestmet) continue his garbage emailing to bombard this List? If you support him, go ahead, but let it be known you have no support from the rest regarding bill kies. I have been thinking, bill kies, is someone else who uses this name to cause trouble for others. What do you think, Mike?! I, like a few other's who replied, ask Art to remove bill kies from this List. Thank you! And for anyone who I may have offended in my posts, I do apologize!

[meteorite-list] Levels of magnetic attraction in H5 and L4 meteorites
Hi, Listees: Puzzle me this, please. L4 chondrites have little iron and little magnetic attraction as compared to an H5, so how does their weight to size compare? That is, is a 100 gram of H5 half the size of a 100 gram of L4 (or some other relationship)? As there is little iron in a L4, what is the primary material that gives it weight? Specifically, in comparing a Franconia to a Gold Basin, would one see similar size specimens of each weighing nearly the same weight? Are there comparative tables that are useful in this question?
