And for you die hard science fans, I think this would be a good read with the current events with ALH84001 CHARACTERISTICS OF FINE BACTERIA-LIKE TEXTURE FORMED BY IRON METEORITE BY ATMOSPHERE REACTION. Yas. Miura, Yamaguchi University, 1677-1 Yoshida, Yamaguchi University, 753-8512, Japan (df...@yamaguchi-u.ac.jp) Introduction: Spherule texture can be formed in dynamic reaction during any meteoritic impact in air. However, there are no reports on nano-bacteria-like (i.e. spherule-chained) textures with iron (and Nickel) oxides (with chlorine) in composition and microtexture with 100nm order [1, 2, 3] in iron meteorite. The purpose of the present study is to show spherulechained texture with micro-texture of 100nm in order found in the Kuga iron meteorite, Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan. Fine bacteria-like textures in the Kuga meteorite: The Kuga iron meteorite found in Kuga, Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan reveals spherule-chained texture with Fe, Ni-rich composition with 10μm in size, where each spherule contained “long microtexture in 100nm in size” (Fig.1) [1, 2, 3]. The complex texture of flow and chained shapes can be found in the fusion crust of the iron meteorite formed by quenched and random processes with vapor-melting process in air of the Earth. The FE-ASEM with EDX analyses by an in-situ observation indicate that the matrix of the spherule-chained texture with Fe, Ni, Orich (with minor Cl) composition is carbon-rich composition formed by impact reactions in air.

[meteorite-list] Wisconsin Appreciation
Just a suggestion to Listees who made the trip and participated in the hunt in Wisconsin. Seeing as how so many of us were given the opportunity to engage in one of the more exciting and rewarding activities of our hobby and businesses because of the hospitality of a small group of townsfolk and farmers in real America, wouldn't it be gracious on our part to take out a page in the newspapers and send a release to the local TV/Radio stations thanking all from us as a group? Perhaps, someone on the List has another suggestion of a way to show our thanks and appreciation? It would be a sterling gesture and I'm sure our visit would be pleasantly remembered for years to our enduring benefit, unlike some infamous incidents where hunter/collectors have been told by the locals to pack up your stuff and never come back. P.S. I'm aware that several Listees went out of their way to do presentations at schools and buy rounds of drinke, etc.. Good on ya!

[meteorite-list] re. $
Hi Steve, I am wondering when I should expect my check for the birthday bash cake, plates, napkins and forks which I was asked to buy. And the cake was not just a simple phone call to the store. As you may remember the logo was sent to me by e mail, I printed it in color, took it to the baker at Safeway along with an etched slice of Brenham to show him how it should look if possible, went to pick the cake up and then delivered it to the Sky Bar. It was fun and I enjoyed doing it so do not understand the problem with my reimbursement which was agreed when I said I would do it. (I then the next night picked up my auction Gold Basin cake I paid for and took it out there as I have done for years.) When I was at Geoff's a few weeks ago I mentioned it to him and he said he was not aware of it so therefore I keep asking you.

[meteorite-list] Asteroid Caught Marching Across Tadpole Nebula (1719 Jens)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-161 Asteroid Caught Marching Across Tadpole Nebula Jet Propulsion Laboratory May 13, 2010 A new infrared image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, showcases the Tadpole nebula, a star-forming hub in the Auriga constellation about 12,000 light-years from Earth. As WISE scanned the sky, capturing this mosaic of stitched-together frames, it happened to catch an asteroid in our solar system passing by. The asteroid, called 1719 Jens, left tracks across the image, seen as a line of yellow-green dots in the boxes near center. A second asteroid was also observed cruising by, as highlighted in the boxes near the upper left (the larger boxes are blown-up versions of the smaller ones). But that's not all that WISE caught in this busy image -- two satellites orbiting above WISE (highlighted in the ovals) streak through the image, appearing as faint green trails. The apparent motion of asteroids is slower than satellites because asteroids are much more distant, and thus appear as dots that move from one WISE frame to the next, rather than streaks in a single frame. This Tadpole region is chock full of stars as young as only a million years old -- infants in stellar terms -- and masses over 10 times that of our sun. It is called the Tadpole nebula because the masses of hot, young stars are blasting out ultraviolet radiation that has etched the gas into two tadpole-shaped pillars, called Sim 129 and Sim 130. These tadpoles appear as the yellow squiggles near the center of the frame. The knotted regions at their heads are likely to contain new young stars. WISE's infrared vision is helping to ferret out hidden stars such as these. The 1719 Jens asteroid, discovered in 1950, orbits in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The space rock, which has a diameter of 19 kilometers (12 miles), rotates every 5.9 hours and orbits the sun every 4.3 years. Twenty-five frames of the region, taken at all four of the wavelengths detected by WISE, were combined into this one image. The space telescope caught 1719 Jens in 11 successive frames. Infrared light of 3.4 microns is color-coded blue: 4.6-micron light is cyan; 12-micron-light is green; and 22-micron light is red. WISE is an all-sky survey, snapping pictures of the whole sky, including everything from asteroids to stars to powerful, distant galaxies. JPL manages WISE for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The principal investigator, Edward Wright, is at UCLA. The mission was competitively selected under NASA's Explorers Program managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. The science instrument was built by the Space Dynamics Laboratory, Logan, Utah, and the spacecraft was built by Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

[meteorite-list] A Younger Age for the Oldest Martian Meteorite (ALH 84001)
http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/May10/YoungerALH84001.html A Younger Age for the Oldest Martian Meteorite Planetary Science Research Discoveries May 12, 2010 --- New isotopic analyses show that famous Martian meteorite ALH 84001 formed 4.09 billion years ago, not 4.50 billion years ago as originally reported. Written by G. Jeffrey Taylor Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology The Allan Hills (ALH) 84001 Martian meteorite is famous for containing fiercely-disputed evidence for fossil life. Equally important to many cosmochemists, the meteorite also contains important information about the construction of the Martian crust by magmas derived from the interior, and the subsequent modification of those igneous rocks by large impacts and circulating water. A surprising feature of ALH 84001 has been its extremely ancient age, 4.50 billion years, as determined by samarium-neodymium (Sm-Nd) and rubidium-strontium (Rb-Sr) isotopic dating. If correct, the ancient age implies that the magma in which ALH 84001 formed intruded the primordial crust, perhaps forming in a deep ocean of magma that surrounded Mars during its initial differentiation into metallic core, rocky mantle, and primary crust. New age determinations by Thomas Lapen (University of Houston) and colleagues there and at the Johnson Space Center, the Lunar and Planetary Institute, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Brussels, Belgium, indicate that the rock crystallized in a magma 4.091 billion years ago. They used lutetium-hafnium (Lu-Hf) isotopes in determining the new age. This isotopic system has the advantage of not being affected as readily by impact heating and water alteration as are Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr. The new age is consistent with igneous activity throughout Martian history and with a period of heavy bombardment between 4.2 and 4.1 billion years as inferred from the ages of large impact basins on Mars. Reference: * Lapen, T. J., Righter, M., Brandon, A. D., Debaille, V., Beard, B. L., Shafer, J. T., and Peslier, A. H. (2010) A Younger Age for ALH 84001 and its Geochemical Link to Shergottite Sources in Mars. /Science,/ v. 328, p. 347-351. The Tortured History of an Excellent Igneous Rock At the risk of revealing my deep-seated biases, I have to say that ALH 84001, whether it ever teemed with microorganisms or not, is one great igneous rock. And igneous rocks are wondrous products that reveal the composition of planetary interiors, the processes that operated in magmas as they migrated to the crust, and how the magmas crystallized far beneath the surface or in lava flows that erupted onto it, shaping the landscape. Igneous rocks are fundamentally important. And thin sections of them look great in a polarizing microscope. ALH 84001 is a piece from a mass of magma that crystallized inside the Martian crust. As the magma crystallized, one of the first minerals to form was orthopyroxene (iron-magnesium silicate), accompanied by small amounts of chromite (iron-chromium oxide). These early-crystallizing minerals accumulated at the base of the magma chamber, forming a rock consisting of 97% orthopyroxene, 1% chromite, and other minerals that crystallized from magma trapped between the accumulated pyroxene crystals. Thin section in cross-polarized light of orthopyroxene crystals in ALH 84001. Artist's drawing of igneous rock formation and origin of ALH 84001 on Mars. [LEFT] Large crystals of orthopyroxene in ALH 84001 show that this rock formed in a magma chamber deep inside Mars. Dark areas are chromite (an oxide of chromium and iron). The photograph is of a thin slice of the rock as viewed in polarized light. [RIGHT] ALH 84001 formed 4.09 billion years ago, according to new age dating by Tom Lapen and his colleagues. The rock crystallized in a relatively large magma body inside the crust of Mars. Its high abundance of one mineral (orthopyroxene) indicates that this mineral must have accumulated in the magma, probably near the bottom of the magma body, eventually forming the original igneous rock with large crystals of orthopyroxene. Martian geological processes did not leave the ALH 84001 cumulate to rest in peace. Early bombardment by huge projectiles reworked the crust, heating, melting, and mixing pre-existing rocks into a jumbled, cratered surface. ALH 84001 shows the wounds from the bombardment in the form of shock-damaged mineral grains, some melted and squirted into veins, and areas where the large crystals of orthopyroxene have been crushed (see photograph below). Detailed study of the meteorite, particularly those by Alan Treiman (Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston), show that the rock was affected by more than one impact, further complicating the interpretation of isotopic data.

[meteorite-list] CHARACTERISTICS OF FINE BACTERIA-LIKE TEXTURE FORMED BY IRON METEORITE
Hello Lister' For you die hard science fans, I think this would be a good read with the current events with ALH84001 CHARACTERISTICS OF FINE BACTERIA-LIKE TEXTURE FORMED BY IRON METEORITE BY ATMOSPHERE REACTION. Yas. Miura, Yamaguchi University, 1677-1 Yoshida, Yamaguchi University, 753-8512, Japan (dfb30 at yamaguchi-u.ac.jp) Introduction: Spherule texture can be formed in dynamic reaction during any meteoritic impact in air. However, there are no reports on nano-bacteria-like (i.e. spherule-chained) textures with iron (and Nickel) oxides (with chlorine) in composition and microtexture with 100nm order [1, 2, 3] in iron meteorite. The purpose of the present study is to show spherulechained texture with micro-texture of 100nm in order found in the Kuga iron meteorite, Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan. Fine bacteria-like textures in the Kuga meteorite: The Kuga iron meteorite found in Kuga, Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan reveals spherule-chained texture with Fe, Ni-rich composition with 10μm in size, where each spherule contained “long microtexture in 100nm in size” (Fig.1) [1, 2, 3]. The complex texture of flow and chained shapes can be found in the fusion crust of the iron meteorite formed by quenched and random processes with vapor-melting process in air of the Earth. The FE-ASEM with EDX analyses by an in-situ observation indicate that the matrix of the spherule-chained texture with Fe, Ni, Orich (with minor Cl) composition is carbon-rich composition formed by impact reactions in air.

How about pressures, is that in there too? I don't have my copy of RFS in front of me... ;) Regards, Eric P.S. Also, do we really accurately know speed?

Re: [meteorite-list] WI Meteorite Hunting Statistics
Since the compiling is taking longer than expected perhaps my self imposed Sunday deadline for release of the information was a bit premature. I will try to release it publicly on Sunday, however it might not be ready by then, if you would like to see what I have thus far, please feel free to email me on Sunday and I will email it to you privately. Once I'm finished compiling all the data, I will release it on my site. I want to thank everyone thus far who has shown more than reasonable cooperation in helping compile the data for the strewnfield, and the statistical cost data. Again as a recap, the more information available the more accurately we'll be able to map this strewnfield. I have compiled coordinates for 20-25 finds so far, many people have been way more than willing to provide their data and I'm surprised actually at the level of cooperation. Though I'm disappointed that some people I thought would participate have not yet provided any information. Those of you who've not yet contributed, I welcome and encourage your participation. Those not participating because of prior agreements with your team members and/or landowners, I respect that and look forward to seeing you in the field on the next one. Please send: Total Days In The Field: Total Hours Hunted Per Day: Total Miles Walked Per Day: Total Costs: (just a total number, it need not be itemized) Total Number of Meteorites Found: Total Weight Found: Coordinates: (if you don't mind releasing them publicly) Thank you all...
