Re: [meteorite-list] A query

[meteorite-list] Abstract About Younger Dryas Event Record In Midwest Lake Deposits
Dear Friends, I came across the following abstract about ongoing research concerning trhe Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. It is: Gill, J. L., J. P. Marsicek, J. P. Donnelly, B. Simonson, and J. W. Williams, 2009, Do lake sediment records show evidence of a Younger Dryas impact event or its potential ecological effects? Abstract COS 13-5, The 94th ESA Annual Meeting (August 2 -- 7, 2009) Albuquerque, New Mexico. http://eco.confex.com/eco/2009/techprogram/P20277.HTM In part, the abstract states: "We collected sediment cores from Appleman and Spicer Lakes, IN, Silver Lake, OH, and Kirchner Marsh, MN, with radiocarbon-dated records spanning the YD. Our sites are ideally situated to record regional environmental responses to a nearby impact." It concludes: "Results from LOI, magnetics, microspherules, charcoal and XRF do not show the signatures predicted for a YD event. Vegetation reconstructions are still in progress as of the time of this abstract, but at Appleman, the Sporormiella decline precedes the YD. We are continuing analyses to determine whether this apparent discrepancy between the predictions of the YD impact hypothesis and the lack of evidence in lake sediments persist across sites." It is part of the "COS 13 - Paleoecology" session at: http://eco.confex.com/eco/2009/techprogram/S4761.HTM Yours, Paul H. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Selling meteorites on TV
Richard and List, The women on JTV.com this am selling the iron meteorites goes by the name Dawn. I have been watching JTV.com for about 10 years and they are the leaders in jewelry and gem stones. Its funny you asked about meteorites being sold on TV because in early December I was watching her sell those meteorites and a week later I bought my first meteorite from JTV.com (Sikhote Alin). If you go to their website you can watch them live and they also have a section where they sell minerals and within that section is where they sell meteorites. It wouldn't surprise me that they would sell meteorites because they are ahead of the curve when it comes the gem market. I bet If some dealers with have alot of meteorites and I mean alot, contacted JTV.com could sell a shit load of meteorites from common falls and could see them selling on JTV.com. And with the Meteorite Men show I can see in the next few months sales for common meteorites going up and more people wanting to own a meteorite.

Hello all Just a reminder that the 601 gram fresh Mali/Chergach is ending in a couple hours. The Brenham slice on eBay has sold but I have a few that didn't sell in Tucson back en route if any are interested in obtaining one of these massive slices. I know the price is both a good one and at the same time beyond the scope of some collectors so I am happy to do timed payments to see you get a slice.I am presently down to my last three slices with a buyer considering all three but nothing firm. There will be some more slices down the road but it will be a while. When's the last time three grand could buy a pallasite slice as big as a pizza?

Re: [meteorite-list] 9.8 LB Stony Meteorite - NO RESERVE startingat $1
Hi Sterling and Ron (and anyone else I may have unintentionally confused), Sorry about my lazy post.. Here is the exact link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220560097766&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT It is 4450 grams (about 9.8 Lbs) probably an unlassified NWA - as I bought it in Tucson just to have a large stony meteorite to show off. However, just a couple of days later I was offered a 5 pound chondrite that I FOUND and had sold many years ago. Once I got that one back I decided I didn't need this one. After all showing off a meteorite I found is much better than showing one someone else found. On Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 12:36 AM, Sterling K.

Re: [meteorite-list] A query, sent from Bernd
Hello Jay and List, The only impact crater in Alabama (as far as I know) is the Wetumpka impact crater. It is located in Elmore County, Alabama, USA (32° 31.5' N, 86° 10.5' W), its diameter is 6.5 km. Planar deformation features in quartz, an iridium component and impactites have been found there.

[meteorite-list] A query
I received the following today. Does anyone have any ideas, or can anyone help Mr Bartley? Jay Tate The Spaceguard Centre http://www.spaceguarduk.com "hi, I found your site and believe the work you are doing is extremely important. There was an impacts site in my area of Alabama , USA. I have , on several occasions, tried to contact the professor at Auburn University that investigated the impact site to verify a few potential meteorites with out success. The department head took a quick look at a few samples that I had taken to Auburn for review. He stated he was extremely sure they were real. As a novas, I tried to cut one to see what it was made of. After wearing out several hack saw blades, I obtained a diamond saw wheel and was able to cut into the sample. To my surprise there was a pocket of compressed air inside. Really wished it had been inside a vacuum chamber. By chance to you have any contacts in the US that may be willing to review some of the samples to see if there could be any value to science. Keep looking for potential NEOs. Richard W. W.
