Re: [meteorite-list] WI fall price...wow!
Yes...definitely the best deal for Almahatta Sitta from Anne and as she said its not an ordinary chondrite. Almahatta Sitta is probably one of the most important falls ever due to it's discovery, circumstances of fall, recovery and ongoing science. Also micro's nearly always sell for many times larger slices or individualsthat's why Steve's small part slices are selling for more per gram. I was commenting on Michaels hammer as an individual. No doubt if it ever gets sliced it will sell for even more per gram...even though it is an ordinary chondrite which happens to have hit something. I know I would rather spend my money on the Almahatta Sitta or a large classified Bassikounou or something similar with a great character that displays well.

Re: [meteorite-list] WI Meteorite Hunting Statistics
Greetings, Those of you who are truly a meteorite business should already know that you are allowed to deduct .25 cents a mile for expenses and all food is only a 50% deduction while on the road. Reciepts are needed to proof that you ate and traveled where you say you did. If you traveled by plane then airfare and rental would be considered something you could deduct. As I have said before, when you have a hundred people hunting for a fall, the cost goes way up compared to a dozen or two. --AL Mitterling __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Our next major source of meteorites?
Hi Pete, Yes, that is true. Dunes march and they cover up exposed meteorites and reveal meteorites that were buried. The problem is, the meteorites are being in harvested in numbers that greatly exceed the new fall rate. At some point, (and we are already seeing this), the numbers of recovered meteorites are going to decline. I fear that it won't be long before the law of diminishing returns rears it's ugly head. If one looks around the world and tries to find a region that duplicates the meteorite potential of the Saharan Desert, one has a hard time finding another source to match (or come close) to the Sahara. We have the Gobi in Mongolia and China, but don't expect the Chinese to be as lenient as the Moroccans. The Atacama has meteorites, but not on the same level as Morocco/Western Sahara. I think we are lucky to be collectors during these bountiful days of the Saharan Rush, but I really don't think there is another Morocco waiting in the wings.

[meteorite-list] recommendations for weight scale, vernier caliper??
Okay, so now that I have 31 bits of space rock and 1 impact breccia and I am working on putting together my little database, I find that while many dealers usually at least provide weights, they don't always have dimensions (good to know so that I can figure out what size display cases or membrane boxes I need to get)... And then of course, I have several UNWAs that were a hodge podge so they didn't really have anything! So, what is the recommended scale to use for measuring the mass?? I could go very cheap and simple on measuring the dimensions, but was wondering if there was a recommendation for any particular caliper or similar instrument?? I did search the Met List archive but nothing popped up for caliper except in the use of displaying meteorites... Clear Skies!

I was hesitant to buy another one of these, or something similar, as I figured I may be throwing good money after bad. I settled on an old and familiar favorite.

To: Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Monday, May 10, 2010, 2:47 PM Okay, so now that I have 31 bits of space rock and 1 impact breccia and I am working on putting together my little database, I find that while many dealers usually at least provide weights, they don't always have dimensions (good to know so that I can figure out what size display cases or membrane boxes I need to get)... And then of course, I have several UNWAs that were a hodge podge so they didn't really have anything! So, what is the recommended scale to use for measuring the mass?? I could go very cheap and simple on measuring the dimensions, but was wondering if there was a recommendation for any particular caliper or similar instrument?? I did search the Met List archive but nothing popped up for caliper except in the use of displaying meteorites... Clear Skies!

Re: [meteorite-list] Our next major source of meteorites?
Australia. Melanie, Australia was Eden, Mecca, El Dorado, Tara, Oh Ashley!, for meteorites. So it has the potential. Unfortunately it felt due a wrong policy into a dark age for the last 2 decades, but I'm confident, that I still will live to see the renaissance of Australian meteorites. You know Melanie, I read some weeks ago the annual report of the Western Australia Museum of the period 2007/2008 - there it's said, that it is planned to enlarge the meteorite collection, Alas - in the same report is told, that in that period at the WA museum they worked on and finally published only ONE single new Australian meteorite. And that isn't acceptable, that's a declaration of bankruptcy. Researchers and scientists have always to match with the work of researchers in other countries, with colleagues of the scientific community to evaluate the quality of their work. And on the other hand researchers have to compete among each other for the financial means for their research. If such a branch of science yields almost no results, then sooner or later it will be abandoned, because it isn't justified to spent public means for these purposes. In Australia meteoritics maybe has survived that immense decline and bleeding only so long, because of its rich tradition in meteoritics. Was once together with USA meteorite nation #1. Else, like it happened in other countries, after such a long unsuccessful period meteoritics would have been stopped there more or less. But that legacy can be also a burden, because it could force the Australian meteoriticists to explain, why all the years before the Dark Age dozens of new finds were made and now less than 1 find per year and why in so many other countries with deserts, including USA, the find rates of new meteorites exploded during the very same period. Therefore I think the meteoriticists feel a certain pressure and things will turn back to reason one day. In fact, there are already some Australian scientists worried about, google around and you will find a proposal from a gentleman from the Bathurst Observatory to ease the legal restrictions regarding meteorites, so that finally there will be found some again. The way to find back to old glory and to restore meteorite science in Australia is very easy, as all pre-conditions are not only existent, but excellent! I don't know the exact mechanisms regarding legislation there, whether you need a petition ect. to amend existing laws (and that isn't my cup of tea), but look Melanie, Australia has some very famous meteoriticists, Dr.Bevan for instance - and I could imagine, that he wouldn't feel comfort to leave Australian meteoritics behind in such a desolate estate and that he will feel constraint to the once so famous meteorite tradition of Australia, that he will put all the weight of his capacity and his name into the scale, to improve the situation in Australia, wouldn't he? The methods are clear, and the Aussies made their experiences already, regarding the question, how new finds will be generated. Just allow finding and a fair incentive for the owner, and you'll have your meteorites. Hunting by public financed expeditions could be somewhat too expensive, and such hunts are always somewhat limited. I read also a paper of one of the Euromet-hunts in Australia some weeks ago. (Had no internet connetion for some days, would have to search it again, don't know at the moment, whether it was 1993, was that one with Bevan, Koeberl et al.) There they were going in the known strewnfields, for training, found 7.5kgs of Mundrabillas, 5 pounds of Millbillillies, a few Mulga-chondrites - and then they found additionally 3kg new OCs or so. Euromet, Melanie, was a consortium of European universities with the objective to recover new meteorites. Well, only the annual costs for personnel were around 20 millions of today's USD. - well, you know, a Mundrabilla of the private sector costs today 0.5$-3.5$/g (rough specimen - perfectly brilliant etch) and a Millbillillie 5-15$/g (depending on size and quality) - btw. meteorites where export clearances are available. Nja well and unclassified averagely weathered chondrites, like they found else, you know them, as it's your slogan below your posts, if they are UNWAs they cost 0.03-0.05$/g + postage. Hu, I know it's not fair, because in fact Euromet made also science and research, but with that exemplary expedition, we are at 1000-2000$/g for their Australian finds, costs for the public, if we blank all other targets than the main target of Euromet. Again: science costs, what it costs - that was now solely to give a vague impression for the discrepancy of the acquisition costs for the public between privately generated finds and publically funded finds. So best is to allow again the professional hunters and the amateur hunters to find and to deliver meteorites. Of course Australia never will be able to have find rates like Sahara, But nevertheless I think Australia easily could rival

LOL That's funny... ;) Darren, I agree with you that most list members are intelligent and curious people, and I'll add that they have eclectic interests.
