Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] Update 2 - Wilbur Wash (correction)
Hello Martin, All, although I'm not so rhetorically trained like you, I guess, you started (once again) in your initial email with a post hoc ergo propter hoc.. After all, if I knew you would reply anyways ; ) The greater good of . don't teach us anything new. 1st - who else is still classifying thousands of OCs aside the classifiers involved in the Antarctics? There are 3256 approved/official NWA meteorites, of which 2325 are ordinary chondrites. To say nothing of the countless Omani finds as well as those from elsewhere, yes, thousands are being analyzed. By whom? By many researchers worldwide. 2nd - why then such a legal drama in so many countries, regarding ownership, heritage, ect. if that stuff is so uninteresting? Two reasons. One is the fact that they're worth so much. The other is that no lawmakers know enough about meteorites to say no meteorites other than ordinary chondrites may leave our country. Well, even if they did, it would be a useless law, because a country that tried to do that would have to train its customs officers to recognize the difference between an achondrite and a common chondrite. And that's not going to happen. No. They're generally expected to write a papers/conduct research at a set rate Difficult to write a paper, if you don't have results from analyzes to write about. At least until meteoritics will be reckoned to the humanities. (Quiet Mathias!) I agree - but if we're to assume that scientists discard ordinary chondrites and work only on the 'interesting' meteorites, then they're still going to have new meteorites to write papers about. paid only to conduct research I think most of them understand analyses of new meteorites as research too. Many researchers' jobs depend on their writing 1-2+ research papers per year, and there's no provision about analyzing new meteorites (I've spoken with a few who analyze meteorites for whom this is the case). Analyzing a new meteorite is a task that takes up time and money that they could otherwise have put towards their research project, and there is little incentive to do it. I'm not going to ask Bill Gates to analyze all of the meteorites in the world just because he makes the most money. Right, but would you pay in a restaurant to the bill an extra for the cook, if the egg in your diner was not uncooked? It is the cook's job to cook the egg I eat at a restaurant. What you don't seem to understand is that many researchers are hired for research -- and the analysis of new meteorites isn't part of their job description. It would be a much better question to ask if you think you should tip the waited if the service was excellent, but the egg undercooked. Because it wasn't the waiter's fault that the egg was underdone. Rather, it was the chef's fault, and they almost never share tips. Furthermore, you seem to have completely missed the point I don't think so, cause that's why we personally spare the classifiers the OCs and the junk meteorites. But I'm glad to see advances in your opinion. You do? I just spent the afternoon at UCLA, and saw excel spreadsheets full of submissions of NWA ordinary chondrites - the fact that 71.4% of all approved NWA's are ordinary chondrites should tell you as much. isn't easy to decipher. Doesn't matter, was off-topic. But you seem to be equating working in a lab analyzing meteorites to the profession of finding and dealing meteorites. In no way. That would be in contrary to the above, a cum hoc ergo propter hoc from your side :-) http://www.fallacyfiles.org/cumhocfa.html So A is true and B is true, but A doesn't cause B? There's no way that my interpretation of what you said as a comparison between two professions is a cum hoc, ergo propter hoc. That just doesn't make sense. Let me quote you: Although I concede, that the modern practice to give scientists, especially the younger and in branches with an excess supply of applicants, only serial contracts of always maximum 2 years, is quite shabby, cause they are often so lousy endowed, that they reach almost the level of successful planetaries recoverers only. I hope in overseas it's better?) So it can be a pretty thankless job. Sounds like the description of a meteorite hunter, dealer, finder, who mainly have to live from their passion :-) Yes, you are comparing scientists to meteorite hunters/dealers. This has nothing to do with cum hoc, ergo propter hoc. ... Have you been reading the recent posts? Is Catterton J plenty? You seem to think that if someone disagrees with you and your idea that all meteorites should be found as quickly as possible without a care for proper documentation (at least coordinates), they must be against all meteorite dealers. I don't have a latin phrase for that kind of assumption, but rest assured, it doesn't make sense. So you're saying that these scientists should be analyzing meteorites because it's their passion. No. Where?

[meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Hi all, I shipped a priority flat rate box on Dec 6th and it was scanned and left the Las Vegas sort facility on the same evening. Now ever since it has just said it was in transit to its destination. I did use a signature confirmation. The bad news is it is a meteorite that I sold for several thousand dollars...I know but it is too late to register and insure the package. I am hoping there is some one who investigates something like this because I don't think the item was lost it was in a flat rate box, hard to miss that lying on the floor. So if it is gone then I am guessing someone has stolen it.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Mike, I shipped a package to Gary Fujihara in Hawaii under the exact same circumstances - It was very late (about 3 weeks) I went to the post office and talked to someone there that gave me a number to call. I called and also gave it to Gary and he called too. Somehow they WERE able to track and find the package. I don't have that number anymore but maybe Gary still does. They were very good at finding it! Even called every few days to let me know what was going on.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Hi Mike, Take the signature confirmation receipt to the PO and have them check their computer (which is updated sooner and more often than the web version). If the package was signed for, then you are off the hook for it. If the package wasn't signed for, then the PO should be able to track it in detail because the label number on signature confirmation is a true tracking number, unlike delivery confirmation which is not. It might be sitting at the destination post office because nobody was at home to sign for it. I've notice that even with signature confirmation, the web tracking is spotty at best. I've had packages go without a status update, even when the package was delivered and signed for. I guess it just depends on who scans the package and who is working in the computer room at the moment. Good luck and don't feel bad about using USPS. I've had 10 times as many problems with UPS and never use them any more.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Greetings Mike and all, I had something similar happen with the Post Office one time. It ended up going to the hub in Pennsylvania (from Indiana). You first have to let them know it is not moving or possibly lost. They make a note of it but will tell you that you have to wait a couple of weeks. I did so and went back (different person) and they gave me the same story that I would have to wait. I asked to see the supervisor, she told me I would have to wait a couple of weeks (consistant aren't they). I told her that I had and had waited three weeks prior to that so it had been over five weeks and it still showed being at the hub. This got her attention and I believe she made some phone calls. Mysteriously the package started to move a day or two later and the package finally was received. I had used insurance so they were a bit more worried about it. Insurance costs about $1 per hundred last I looked. I would bet with the holiday traffic, it has been sitting behind other packages and hasn't been looked at. If you put in a formal lost in the mail then wait a bit longer you can then get them to start making phone calls. Of course it could always be stolen. Best not to advertise what you have in the box. Just say rock sample. I wish you good luck and hope that things work out well for you. If not you have to chalk it up as a lost and let your business absorb it. Hope this helps. --AL Mitterling Mitterling Meteorites - Original Message - From: Mike Miller meteoritefin...@gmail.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 11:18 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
It may not be lost. Remember, there is no more unreliable delivery service than the Post Office. Their tracking systems don't work, they use marginal subcontractors, once something is in their custody it could be anywhere. Don't give up hope... it's more likely to simply be laying on the floor of some substation somewhere than to have been stolen. If so, it will show up one of these days.

Aloha Mike, Sorry to hear about your package going AWOL, but as everyone has already mentioned, there is hope that it will eventually arrive at its destination. FWIW, despite everyone's grim perspective of the USPS, I have found their service to be exemplary, especially when compared to UPS who gouge us in Hawaii and lose or damage packages on a seemingly regular basis. Gotta also remember that its the busiest season of the year for the post office, who are operating under a constrained budget with less staffing than in years past.

[meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Mike wrote: Thanks very much it seems most of the time these things have a pleasant ending. You have all given me me a little more hope. Hello Mike and List, Mailing and waiting for packages can be an unnerving project around Christmas time. Your lost shipment reminds me of my NWA 1909 and my NWA 1943 slices from Mike Farmer back in 2003 (October 01) -- a 600$$+ value. The package was already in the hands of the German customs authorities about 16 km (about 10 miles) from where we live and I was haggling with them via telephone over customs fees. They finally agreed to send it to my home address but it never arrived even though I had a photo copy of the customs papers from these customs dudes. More calls ..., etc. followed ... and they informed me the package was possibly on its way back to Tucson. If not, they added, the sender would have to start a tracer :-( On December 17, I received an email from Mike Farmer informing me that the meteorites had arrived back to him, that the packaging had been removed, that the meteorites were loose in the box which was smashed, but the meteorites were fine and undamaged! Mike resent them and the finally arrived (a second time) on Dec 30, 2003! That's 3 months, now ... go figure! Keeping my fingers crossed for your package!

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Hi Mike, Gary, Al, Bernd, Chris, and List, I concur with Gary on this one about USPS. Now, I don't completely disagree with Chris Peterson's assessment of the postal service, because they have their fair share of inefficiency and waste - and that is why they are hemorrhaging money to the tune of billions of dollars. Perhaps I have just been lucky with USPS. It is very rarely that I lose a package without a trace. I've been selling a wide-range of collectibles online since 1999 and I can count on one hand the number of times USPS has lost a package (or damaged it to the point of being a total loss). This handful of lost packages was the minority in thousands of successful mailings. More frequently, a package will be slow through USPS and take several days (to weeks) longer to arrive than it should. Delays of a few days are not uncommon and delays of weeks happen about once a year. In my personal experience, the hiccup rate with USPS is about one package out of a few or several hundreds. On the other hand, I have shipped via UPS about 20 times in my lifetime. Out of those 20 times, I have had major issues about a half-dozen times. This includes lost packages, damaged packages, and very poor customer service. My personal hiccup rate with UPS has been about 25-30% of packages shipped. For this reason, I ceased using them entirely about 2 years ago. I don't even like buying from vendors who use UPS and I tend to avoid sellers who ship via UPS in favor of those who ship via USPS or FedEx. I've never had a problem with FedEx and find their service to be reliable, albeit more expensive. -- Mike Gilmer - Galactic Stone Ironworks Meteorites Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone News Feed - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone Meteorite Top List - http://meteorite.gotop100.com EOM - http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=1564 --- On 12/21/10, Gary Fujihara fuj...@mac.com wrote: Aloha Mike, Sorry to hear about your package going AWOL, but as everyone has already mentioned, there is hope that it will eventually arrive at its destination.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Many years ago I had a meteorite rock´n roll back and forth from Down Under, one complete roundtrip and another one way trip over the Pacific Ocean, half around the globe, after it finally safely arrived. This was all due to some really minor problem at my destination here, where the post office usually doesn´t hold it for longer than 7 days once a first attempt of delivery to the private address fails, because the addressee is in the office and not at home at time of delivery, so in the wrong place at the wrong time... On another occasion I waited for more than three weeks for a small delivery from a dealer based in our neighbour country Switzerland, which is very close in geographical distance, but is not one of the EU countries, so goods are often delayed because of (sometimes) tough customs controls. Well, Mike, what I want to say to you: don´t give your meteorite up! It is likely that it will turn up again, one or the other way. I´ll keep my thumbs pressed... Have a nice Christmas time all, a happy New Years Eve, and a good start into 2011!

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.
Greetings Mike and Listoids, I shipped a premium eyepiece to a buyer on the east coast last year (South Carolina?) and he wrote that he had not received it a week later. USPS Delivery Confirmation showed that it had been delivered. When the postmaster called to inquire WHERE they had delivered it, they discovered it had gotten mixed in with the enormous load of daily returns that go to the (nearby) QVC shopping network! In QVC's own zip code! We had to wait for QVC to process through the bins full of returns, but they found the package and returned it to the post office, who got a second chance to deliver, in which they were successful. Priority Mail, indeed. The whole thing took about a month, but all's well that ends well I guess. I had feared having to refund the purchase price, but I imagine there's a similar happy ending awaiting you.

Lunar meteorites are NOT magnetic right? His photos clearly show a neodymium magnet attached to his supposed and very suspect lunar meteorite. Doesn't this prove beyond any doubt that this auction is not a lunar meteorite?

Re: [meteorite-list] The New Meteorite Man!
Woah...now, is it time to list my lunar/martian/Jovian brecciated deli meats? I bought an incredible slice the other day in a local Woodland deli, but promptly ate it, it was so rare. Drat. Could have been worth $750,000.00...but I digest. Anyone who is interested, please don't email me off-line, since the slice was quite rare. In fact, I question whether it was ever cooked. But I digest again Sincerely, Richard - Original Message - From: Adam Hupe raremeteori...@yahoo.com To: Adam meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 8:36 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] The New Meteorite Man!

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of Day - December 22, 2010
Hi Mike and List, Thanks for putting the Mundrabilla example up for tonight's show. Super shot. Great meteorite. I notice that the exterior of this iron has hundreds of closely spaced similar sized vug like holes. Is this an entry artifact, or maybe terrestial weathering? Would someone care to explain the holes?

Re: [meteorite-list] The New Meteorite Man!
Hello to the list, Check out ebay item number 120661711027 This nutcase also claims to be selling a North American Biologic Planetary Meteorite with clear evidence of well preserved fossils of crab, sea worms, clams and other sea life. This one is a game changer along with the associated non-existent 125 meter diameter crater formed in 2006, and it is on film! So are the users of ebay smart enough to see through this one Sigh..

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of Day - December 22, 2010
Hello Count, Mundrabilla looks like so when cut: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Mundrabilla_meteorite_NMNH_slice.jpg It's a coral-like intergrowth of Fe-Ni and troilite. They would probably have looked spectacular when found, but sadly their current surface morphology is due to the fact that troilite weathers more quickly than iron. The inclusions weather away or weather out of the iron framework leaving a spongelike structure behind. There are two similar meteorites; Waterville and Buffalo Gap are in the same IAB grouplet, and all three have high concentrations of troilite. There are also a few others like Georgetown that are structurally similar, but I believe chemically unrelated.
