[meteorite-list] AD - Martian Meteorite Retro Art Display - Less than 4 hours remaining - no reserve, low bidding!
Greetings Collectors and Listees I have a Martian meteorite display closing on eBay in less than 4 hours. The bidding is still very tame at less than $5, so there is the potential for a bargain here. Market prices on Martians has been dropping lately, and anyone who follows the bidding on eBay has surely noticed this. So I put a nice little polished micro-slice (sliced off from a macro slice) of DaG 476 shergottite in a Riker box display with a laser-printed reproduction of a vintage sci-fi theme. This is the last planetary display I will be selling on eBay - the remainder of my stock is only available through my website. DaG 476 Mars Rock auction link - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=290421341344 Website link - http://www.galactic-stone.com Don't forget that all List members (you!) get a 20% discount on all specimens in my store.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sun Eats Another Comet
While Kreutz sungrazers constitute a recent population in geological terms, it seems highly likely that there have always been sungrazer subpopulations. You might go a few thousand years with low activity, and a few thousand with higher activity. And within those periods there will be statistical fluctuations as well as actual density fluctuations. And of course, there will always be sungrazers that aren't part of any subpopulation- sporadics, if you will. (I don't think it has been confirmed that this was a Kreutz comet, although it seems most likely.)

Re: [meteorite-list] Sun Eats Another Comet
Hi Rob, Thanks... ;) Point taken... Your point about the sungrazers is a perfect example of what I'm referring to. I was being more general in my question about comets. Specifically the Kreutz comets couldn't be the first (maybe first observed), nor the last to be obliterated by the Sun. The term smashed into was not accurate, but artistic license. (I can say that since I'm not a scientist) ;) Certain freedoms... 1000 years is a long time to humans, but cosmologically speaking it's not even a blink of an eye. Could we deduce that given the number of comets (or sungrazers) that have been discovered and observed in the past, could we apply this number going backwards in time and figure the number of comets that have been swallowed up by the Sun, or is there just not enough data? Congrats on your Kreutz comet discoveries!!! Awesome! Oh yeah, how big are these comets, and how come we didn't see them before they were gobbled up?

Re: [meteorite-list] Car(s) Srtuck by Meteor/ite, again
I believe my vehicle was struck by 2 small meteorites yesterday. I was driving North on interstate 39. I heard a big Bang, bang.. Then saw white dust where the 2 pieces hit, one cracked the windshield and left a little black mark and the other just left some white/grey powder/dust. I p8ulled over and tried to wipe them off and could not get it off. I am almost positive they were meteorites. There were no other vehicles near me, I was over a half mile from an overpass. They had to come from above. I did not hear any sonic boom or see any meteor. I plan on going back the the spot to see if I can find anything in the area, but I'm sure the pieces that hit my Durango got smashed to smithereens, maybe I will b able to find another piece if another piece actually landed. I am not claiming these were meteorites, but I can not think of anything else it could have been. I was not going to post it, because I figured people would think I'm crazy, but after seeing this thread, I figured I had to. The weird thing is that it happened to the other guy and me a day a part. very unusual. But I know an iron did not him my car, what ever it was left a powdery residue.

Hi Mike and List, I think I speak for many others on the List when I say that your specimens and preparation are top notch. I have spent the last two days slicing and polishing some stony chondrites, and it's been a lot of work - it's been fun, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else, but it's still a lot of work. It's a labor of love. When I think about how much work goes into cutting, polishing, and preparing irons, it makes me wince because I know how labor intensive irons are. And not only the labor, but the wear and tear on saw blades, diamond wheels, etchant, and the other expenses. Frankly, I don't fool with irons because of the high learning curve and consumption of materials. I don't see how some of you guys who specialize in irons can make any profit. Keep up the good work. Those knives look awesome.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD/web site update Campo, Brenham, Glorieta Damascus knife and more.
I second Mike G's sentiment regarding Mike M's preparation. As most of you know, Mike has been the one cutting the 200 gram Brenham I am selling slices of. With every shipment I am gobsmacked at how well they are prepared in terms of parallel cuts, mirror polish, etching, and preservation. I had the opportunity to visit his home, the location of a meteorite cutting outfit that is, simply put, massive. In addition to all the saws there were the control pieces, small slices prepared different ways with notes following each piece through time, inspected routinely. And then there are pieces Miller recently sent out for free to the four corners, the worlds most hostile environments for iron slices, so he could further perfect the process. Progress has come a long way in a short time largely due to Mike and a few relentless others like him.

Hi Mike and List, I think I speak for many others on the List when I say that your specimens and preparation are top notch. I have spent the last two days slicing and polishing some stony chondrites, and it's been a lot of work - it's been fun, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else, but it's still a lot of work. It's a labor of love. When I think about how much work goes into cutting, polishing, and preparing irons, it makes me wince because I know how labor intensive irons are. And not only the labor, but the wear and tear on saw blades, diamond wheels, etchant, and the other expenses. Frankly, I don't fool with irons because of the high learning curve and consumption of materials. I don't see how some of you guys who specialize in irons can make any profit. Keep up the good work. Those knives look awesome.
