Re: [meteorite-list] Newcomers and the Meteorite world
And ... a glass of water is interesting when put next to a powerful magnet, the surface of the water bends as the magnet is brought near it- It's quite spooky, and even works with a hard drive magnet. Trouble with looking for magnetic moment alignment in planetary samples is by the time a slice has been knocked about on a cutting wheel etc, it has lost much of it's information. I have found that iron meteorites magnetize very easily even if you tap them sharply a few times, (just by the earth's magnetic field). Even sending something through the post, exposes it to all sorts of fields and mechanical action. (Plus nearly everyone slaps a rare earth magnet on a rock when they find it, it's one of the 'is this a meteorite?' tests). My guess is to get proper magnetic field information you would need a freshly fallen piece that has been carefully handled and prepared in such a way as to minimise the disturbance to 'the force'..

A CEREGE (CNRS), Geophysics and Planetologyscientist from France flew out here to Laughlin, NV, U.S.A. to conduct magnetic susceptibility studies on several of our planetary pieces including NWA 5000. He spent hours plotting hundred of points on NWA 5000 to create a susceptibility map. All I can tell you is that numbers his instruments measured were different for each and every point on the rock. I guess we will have to wait for the results and magnetic map to be published. If you are asking how attracted it is to a magnet, then my answer is as follows: NWA 5000 contains more metal than any rock from the Moon discovered, yet a magnet will barley stick to it unless you are in direct contact with a piece of elemental metal. I have magnets so powerful that the small amount of iron in breakfast cereal is enough to make the pieces of cereal stick to them, same for dry dog food. For the most part, planetary meteorites are not all that attracted to standard magnets. I recommend liberating a piece of a suspected planetary meteorite and then testing it with a magnet therefore preserving the rest of the mass for future study. A magnet will orient some of the dipoles into a new North South direction making some future studies impossible.

Most collectors do not realize that Lunar meteorites, for the most part, have brown fusion crusts. A few Mare pieces have smooth black fusion crusts and a few Highlands have translucent green fusion crusts. This is one of many clues that we have a prospective Lunaite in front of us.

[meteorite-list] Hegins, PA report
BY VICKI TERWILLIGER (EDITOR vick...@citizenstandard.com) Published: August 12, 2010 HEGINS - An uninvited guest apparently made a stop at the home of Ralph Lucht, of Hegins. Lucht believes a meteorite may have struck his Pine Drive home sometime during the end of July or beginning of August. What is evident is a section of his asphalt roof and white flashing of his home has been damaged and a ragged piece of the metal flashing remains. The metal looks like it may have suffered a tremendous force or heat, because it is peeled outward several inches. A cable to a lighting rod on the roof was also severed as an item apparently fell from high above, Lucht said, and grazed the edge of the cable. As the suspected projectile left the roof area, it barely missed entering the roof of an upstairs bedroom, and then landed in a solid concrete patio surrounding Lucht's pool. The indentation left in the concrete measures about one-inch by one-inch wide, and is about 1/2-inch deep. Inside the hole in the concrete there are rusty-colored flecks of material. The flecks were magnetized. It had to be a projectile, Lucht said. I looked around for parts, but didn't find any, he said of whatever had made the depression in his patio. The family did not hear anything, but recently noticed the damage when they went outside. Lucht does not believe the damage could have been caused by a stray bullet. His home is in a mountainous region in a wooded area in Hegins Township, but there are no neighboring homes in close proximity to his house. Hegins Township had no other recent reports of any damage like that, according to Supervisor Vicki Harman. According to Mark Klein, a webmaster from the National Weather Service, his agency does not track meteorites, or meteor showers. Klein referred anyone inquiring about meteorites to visit the website www.spaceweather.com, or search other internet resources. This time of year is favorable for meteor showers, the sites seem to indicate. The spaceweather website lists that Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from (an) impact of August 3, which sparked auroras as far south as Wisconsin and Iowa in the U.S. This week, Earth is entering a stream of dusty debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, the parent of the annual Perseid meteor shower. . .The shower won't peak until Aug. 12 and 13 when we're much deeper inside. Nevertheless, sky watchers are already seeing some early Perseids. From 3 a.m. to dawn is the best time-frame to witness the meteor showers, the site suggests. Another resource, operated by the International Meteor Organization (IMO), at www.imo.net shares further details. The IMO site explains that the Perseids (meteor showers) are able to be seen this time of year. The Perseids are one of the most exciting and dynamic meteor showers; producing fast-moving shooting stars through July and August. Based on IMO observations from recent years, we expect the 'normal peak of (about) 100 meteors per hour' to occur in the night of August 12-13. . . The IMO was founded in 1988 and has more than 250 members, according to the site. IMO was created in response to an ever growing need for international cooperation of meteor amateur work. The collection of meteor observations by several methods from all around the world ensures the comprehensive study of meteor showers and their relation to comets and interplanetary dust. __ 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

Hi List: Here is something I've wondered for a while and I hope someone can answer it for me. Why are some Chondrites only classified as a 'L' or 'H' or in some cases 'EH' and 'E' Is it just the way classifications were done in the past and is it possible to probe the samples and give them the appropiate number? Or do they fall out of the 3-6 range? I do see some in the 2000's classified in this manner. Perhaps the institution the classifications were done?

Re: [meteorite-list] BACK - Value of Skype video audio
Hellow all friends, My dad died nearly 2 weeks ago and my brother has been staying At my house for the last 11 days. I have hardly even seen my email during This time. My point is, I am back and if anyone sent me email and did not get A response in the last 2 weeks, this is why and I would humbly request They email me again, now, as I will be back reading email... Since I have a backlog of thousands, I will likely miss yours if you Posted me during this time, so, please do write again. I am sure there are those among you that would like to express sypathy for my loss, but I request you please simply hold a pleasant Thought for me. That would be appreciated. The real thrust of this post is to apologize for any (manyinstances, I am sure) lack of response on my part. On a different note, I would like to announce that I am now available for video / voice contact via Skype. I have been astounded for nearly 20 years why it was the internet World did not utilise this capacity for verbal/visual communication. I had A video cam, but it seemed no one else did. Now they are building them Into the current generation of computers and my brother helped me set It up - and it is so simple I could have done it alone - now THAT is simple! Anyone interested, go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home One or two clicks and that is it - you are Skyped. There are two very important features: 1) (Mostly) Free long distance computer to phone contact (no video in this format, of course). Some countries do have a low charge per minute. However: 2) Computer to computer: In this format, both people must be at their computers and in a few cases, if your computer does not have a built in mike, you may have to buy an inexpensive headset with a USB port contact. This is FREE regardless of countries, but both parties must be at their computers - but you can call someone and ask that they go to their computer For free interaction. To contact for video/visual computer to computer, just use the person's email address. For computer to phone, use their phone number. The two different contacts must be set up in your skype address book, but It is EASY. I think this is a valuable medium for the meteorite community because: - It allows cheap or free international calling - FREE long distance within the US (and to most countries) - FREE computer audio visual contact (you can turn off your Camera if you just want voice) - FREE instant video examination of meteorite specimens. Quality of the video seen and transmitted depends on a number of Factors, the most important being: - High speed download on each end - Quality of video cam ($8 to $80 with anything in the mid range being darn good - but as stated earlier, new computers have the cam built in. NOTE: regardless of the quality of your download and video cam, what is seen is always dictated by the lowest quality of either of the two conversers. In any event, I hope to be having some video chats with my fellow Meteorite friends.

Re: [meteorite-list] Classification of Chondrites Without a Number
Reasons for not giving a petrologic type these days might include: 1) The classification was not done using a thin section. Pet type is hard to determine in reflected light or based on hand samples. 2) The meteorite is so badly altered that you can't tell the pet type. 3) The meteorite is an impact melt rock, where pet type is not defined, but you can still tell the parent group based on mineralogy. 4) The meteorite is so small that you can't see enough area to determine pet type. In the past, especially at the dawn of the modern classification system in the 1960s, the analyst may just not have determined pet type prior to publication.

Re: [meteorite-list] Classification of Chondrites Without a Number
Well, there are ways and there are ways... Petrologists can estimate the subtype (3.0-3.9) using optical microscopy, and with training this is actually pretty good for the lowest types (3.0-3.1). Above that, it's probably no better than +/-0.3. With data on a few dozen olivine compositions (Fe-Mg-Si data), which can be gotten using any polished section and an SEM or electron microprobe, you can do somewhat better on subtypes above 3.4, say +-0.1-0.2. But types 3.0-3.4 all look the same pretty much. But if you add in Cr analyses in olivine, plus some other microprobe data, including analyses of kamacite, you can break out all the subtypes 3.00-3.2. You can use thermoluminescence (TL) and cathodoluminescence to get to +/-0.1, the former requiring a powdered sample and the latter a polished section. Raman spectroscopy data can also be used. It's important to know what was done in order to assess how precise it is likely to be.

[meteorite-list] Hegins man suspects meteorite struck home - Could it Be?
Could it be? Greg S. http://republicanherald.com/news/hegins-man-suspects-meteorite-struck-home-1.953646 Hegins man suspects meteorite struck home By Vicki Terwilliger (Staff writer vick...@citizenstandard.com) Published: August 17, 2010 VICKI TERWILLIGER/staff photos Ralph Lucht believes a meteorite may have caused the damage to his roof, above, and rust-colored depression in the patio, below at his Pine Drive home in Hegins. HEGINS - Whatever struck Ralph Lucht's home in Hegins punched a hole through asphalt shingles and the flashing on the roof. Lucht believes a meteorite may have struck his Pine Drive home at the end of July or beginning of August. The metal of the white flashing is peeled outward several inches, as if it had suffered a tremendous force or heat. A cable to a lighting rod on the roof was also severed by whatever apparently fell from high above, Lucht said. It grazed the edge of the cable, barely missed entering the house, then landed in a solid concrete patio surrounding Lucht's pool. The indentation in the concrete was about one-inch-by-one-inch wide and a half-inch deep. Inside the hole was rust-colored flecks of material. The flecks were magnetized. It had to be a projectile, Lucht said. I looked around for parts, but didn't find any, he said of whatever had made the depression in his patio. The family did not hear anything, but recently noticed the damage when they went outside. Lucht does not believe the damage could have been caused by a stray bullet. His home is in a mountainous region in a wooded area in Hegins Township with no homes in close proximity. Hegins Township had no other recent reports of similar damage, according to Supervisor Vicki Harman. According to Mark Klein, a webmaster from the National Weather Service, his agency does not track meteorites or meteor showers. Klein referred any inquiries about meteorites to www.spaceweather.com. This time of year is favorable for meteor showers. The website states, Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from (an) impact of August 3, which sparked auroras as far south as Wisconsin and Iowa in the U.S. Another resource, www.imo.net, operated by the International Meteor Organization states the Perseids are seen at this time of year. The Perseids are one of the most exciting and dynamic meteor showers; producing fast-moving shooting stars through July and August. Based on IMO observations from recent years, we expect the 'normal peak' of (about) 100 meteors per hour to occur in the night of August 12-13. The IMO was founded in 1988 and has more than 250 amateur members collecting accounts of meteor observations, according to the site. __ 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] Newcomers and the Meteorite world
Aloha, Its nice to see John Schooler on the list - I got my Paragould birthday meteorite slice from him-Mahalo nui John. And yes, dealers buy and trade from other dealers for their collections and inventory all the time. I got my first meteorite - a Canyon Diablo back in the late '60s from my uncle who returned to Hawaii after getting his schooling at Creighton to become a dentist. I treasured that iron until it was lost during a move. I've always been interested in astronomy and space exploration beginning with the first Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions, and still drives me in my educational outreach endeavors at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy and as a NASA Solar System Ambassador (are there any others in metlistland?). I have sporadically added a few specimens to my collection throughout the years, but it was the Ash Creek fall that got my juices really flowing again. My collection now consists of ~250 distinct falls and over a hundred finds, some of which can be seen on my Facebook album (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2030992id=1394318075l=68d4748b5a). Each are a story unto themselves, as objects created out of the formation of our solar system, finding their way to earth, and how they were obtained. I have a passion for each and every specimen in my collection and in my inventory, but that does not preclude me from parting with any of them. For I believe that I am just a temporary steward for the care and curation of these cosmic interlopers, as they were here before me and will be here long after my mortal demise. My foray into becoming the Big Kahuna and starting a business was to help fund my collection and my outreach (last year I gave away over five kilos of meteorites to students, teachers and schools). But more importantly, it was to reciprocate the service, support and friendship that was given to me by a few of the reputable dealers (both IMCA and non-IMCA) that helped me out during my start. It can be a daunting experience to build your knowledge and collection with quality specimens without draining your bank account. Those dealers were instrumental in providing me with not just screaming deals, but a business paradigm not built around profit as the major focus.

How many meteorite dealers actually collect meteorites? Im not talking about one or two, Im talking about a nice collection that is not for stock. For me, I see and am finding out more and more dealers that dont actually collect meteorites. This is shocking to me. Perhaps this is due to the fact I am a collector (even if I do sell meteorites, its more to help build my collection) and have been bitten by the meteorite bug. Im sure this may draw some heat, I dont mean for it to, but topics like this seems to bring drama on here... So... here it goes... Why do you dealers sell meteorites that dont have collections? To not collect something implies that you may not have a passion for meteorites that collectors have. Is it for the money? What is it that draws you into the meteorite field? I have seen some of the bigger and longtime dealers used to be treasure hunters which leads me to think that meteorites were the next treasure for you to seek and get paid off. I ask this not not create problems or drama with this, but out of honest interest in why some of you sell meteorites that dont collect. I got into meteorites purely by accident, but it (anything related to space) was a passion I had since I was a child. Once I found out I could actually own a real meteorite, let alone pieces of the Moon and Mars, It was honestly like a dream come true for me. I only started selling when I quickly found out that without the extra income, I could not afford this addiction I developed. the whole reason I started selling is I couldnt afford the $1000 per gram for the cheapest lunar I could find 3 years ago.
[meteorite-list] Classification of Chondrites
What timing. I was just about to post some pics of an unclassified NWA that I received from Dean Bessey some time ago and ask listmembers if they could estimate the type. So, check the links below and give me your estimate. The piece is about 1 3/4 inch x 1 inch. Notice the large chondrule which is about 4 mm in diameter. The blue flakes are actually metal. My guess is H 4-5. (I won't even try to get it down to the tenths.)

Re: [meteorite-list] Classification of Chondrites
Don't pay much attention to my guess but I say H5. Few chondrules, evenly spread concentration of metal flakes. If I read the chart provided in the Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites correctly, bulk density for H5 should be about 3.4. You could check that. I have a question for you though...Can you see the metal flakes through the crust? I found a small one that I think is similar. I can se the flakes showing through on the outside that's why I'm asking. Mike in CO On Aug 17, 2010, at 4:29 PM, David Pensenstadler wrote: What timing.

Re: [meteorite-list] The emperor of angrites
I thought this meteorite was to be sold to a would be benefactor for around 3.5 U.S. million dollars and was donated to a University in Oregon. They claimed it weighed 5 lbs which equals 2,270 grams. At $3,500,000.00, this would amount to a whopping $15,418.50/gram. I think we are talking about the same meteorite here. I guess the press got it wrong once again by throwing out ridiculously large numbers. It is no wonder why Oregon is one of two states currently designating their land illegal to hunt meteorites. It seems that good news has once again turned bad. I canceled a hunting trip to Washington/Oregon this summer due to these poorly thought out laws or new interpretations of old ones.

They claimed it weighed 5 lbs which equals 2,270 grams. At $3,500,000.00, this would amount to a whopping $15,418.50/gram. I think we are talking about the same meteorite here. I guess the press got it wrong once again by throwing out ridiculously large numbers. It is no wonder why Oregon is one of two states currently designating their land illegal to hunt meteorites. It seems that good news has once again turned bad. I canceled a hunting trip to Washington/Oregon this summer due to these poorly thought out laws or new interpretations of old ones. Even though this meteorite was not even found on U.S. soil, the large numbers seem to have attracted or contributed to unwanted attention. Here is the article: http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/07/multimilliondollar_meteorite_h.html Maybe I read it wrong but it seems blatantly clear to me. It is even headlined Multimillion Dollar Meteorite Best Regards, Adam __ 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 __ 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 __ 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
