[meteorite-list] Very Large Philippine Tektite
Hi A potentially record breaking tektite came to light on Monday 7th February from Paracale. If you are the person who bought this item from Red Balesa could you email me off-list. I am just after some measurement data as it would be a shame if this specimen is lost to science.

[meteorite-list] AD-Dawn on homestretch, New Basaltic Eucrite
Aloha mai kakou, As NASA's Dawn spacecraft nears its first destination, Asteroid 4 Vesta for a July 2011 arrival, great excitement and anticipation surround its rendezvous and orbit of the protoplanet. Will data obtained from Dawn confirm or refute Vesta's connection with HED meteorites? Only time will tell. But for now, Big Kahuna is offering the newest basaltic eucrite approved by the Meteoritical Society, NWA 6573. A fresh specimen with subophitic texture, composed of exsolved pigeonite, calcic plagioclase laths, silica polymorphm ilmenite, Ti-Chromite, troilite and rare zircon, with only 37g of total known weight. Ten freshly crusted slices and three endpieces cut expertly from Kern Industries wire saw, packaged in high quality labeled display cases or micro membraneboxes, along with a certificate of authenticity. http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/NWA6573.html Grab'em while you can...and, more material can be found (from Vesta and other parent bodies) in my regularly scheduled ebay auctions that end this Saturday: http://shop.ebay.com/fujmon/m.html Gary Fujihara Big Kahuna Meteorites (IMCA#1693) 105 Puhili Place, Hilo, Hawai'i 96720 http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/ http://shop.ebay.com/fujmon/m.html (808) 640-9161 __ 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

[meteorite-list] Italian bolide 8FEB2011
Hi Matteo/List, Most if not all of it definitely ended up in the sea. Based on triangulation of multiple cameras, Italian astronomers have computed a terminal burst altitude of 30.3 +/- 1.2 km. So mainland Italy is out. However, yesterday I was amused to discover that when I combine the terminal burst altitude information with my estimate of the terminal burst azimuth, it ends up right over the only spit of land within a 20-mile radius: tiny Isola di Gorgona (area less than 1 square mile). Of course, meteorites aren't necessarily found directly under the terminal burst location -- there is still forward momentum of the fragments, plus wind drift. But at this point it's not impossible that some fragments might have ended up on that island, which would be an incredible stroke of luck. Note that I've renamed the thread to Italian bolide from superbolide; the magnitude (-10.9 +/- 1.1) was far below the threshold for a superbolide. --Rob -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of M come Meteorite Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 9:33 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Italian Superbolide 8FEB2011 I doubt, Italy zones is not type USA desert or city's, we are under control the coordinates for calculate where is fall.

Hello all, Personally I'm not a fan of irons but a friend who works at my Community College for my University Physics course is. For the school, he has built a collection of chondrites, pallasites and irons; Franconia, buck mnt., palo verde mine, bassikanu, campo de cielo, canyon diablo, holbrook etc... I added a few pieces to the school's collection as well because it is quite small. He has a problem with a few irons rusting a bit. Can someone offer me any solutions I can offer him?

Re: [meteorite-list] Unknown irons at ASU
Hello Laurence, #4 looks identical to the IIIAB iron Smith's Mountain (1863). Compare to this specimen: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/get_original_photo.php?recno=5642156 Mike Farmer also has a specimen, but his site is down.

[meteorite-list] Cleaning Sikhote Alin meteorites
Hello Ruben and Listers, I found this link about how to care and clean meteorites. Take a look and see if some of these technquies might help out or give you new ideas on perseving meteorites. http://www.meteoritemarket.com/Galvanic.pdf Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 eBaystore http://shop.ebay.com/photophlow/m.html [meteorite-list] Cleaning Sikhote Alin meteoritesRuben Garcia mrmeteorite at gmail.com Thu Feb 10 19:58:49 EST 2011 Previous message: [meteorite-list] Test Next message: [meteorite-list] Cleaning Sikhote Alin meteorites Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hi all, I just bought some very nice SA's but they are not cleaned like the others we are used to seeing. Anyone know how they clean SA meteorites? I am quite sure it is not a wire brush as the other SA's are cleaned in all the cracks and crevasses. A wire brush couldn't do that. -- Rock On!
