Rob, and the Responders, Becoming One of The FaceBorn is an irrevocable step. That's why they make you sign the I Agree To Terms of Service in blood. Admittedly, it's only digital blood, but it's permanent. Unless you can get the ghost of Daniel Webster to plead your case for you. You can check out, but you can never leave...

[meteorite-list] meteorite display at the worlds oldest still working Planetarium
Hello List, A Dutch collector-friend asked me if I would be interested in lending out some meteorites, for them to be displayed in the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker (Netherlands). The planetarium is reported to be the oldest still working Planetarium in the world (build from 1774 to 1781). It sounded like fun, and a nice opportunity to introduce people to the world of meteorites, so I agreed to participate. A photographic impression can be found at my website: http://www.asteroidchippings.com/Special_topics/Eise_Eisinga_Planetarium_Fra neker.html I think even if without the meteorite display, the Planetarium is definitely worth a visit when in the area.

Re: [meteorite-list] meteorite display at the worlds oldest still working Planetarium
Well done! Rob, What you have done to advance the public's knowledge of meteorites by your generous contributions of time and materials is commendable. The meteoritical displays in that charming, historical planitarium wll now add a dimension to a visit that the place didn't have before. I had the pleasure of stopping for a snack in Franeker on an auto tour years agoand missed the planetarium. I was ignorant of meteorites and the finer details of the solar system at the time. Thank you for sharing. You bring credit to IMCA by your membership. When the discussion resumes about what IMCA and its members can do to advance our pursuit what you have done will be an example.

Re: [meteorite-list] Facebook Meteorite group
When Facebook changed their group layout and settings, it messed everything up. In the past, you would not receive emails every time someone posted to the group. The old groups were more like a message board. The new format automatically subscribes each member to the group feed, so it's now like being a member of a mailing list with no option for a digest format. You can turn off the emails by going into the group settings or you can leave the group entirely. Alot of group owners and members (of any group) have been upset by this change and I don't blame them. It is rather annoying to suddenly get dozens of emails without any warning. -- - Galactic Stone Ironworks - Meteorites Amber (Michael Gilmer) Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://tinyurl.com/42h79my News Feed - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone EOM - http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=1564 - On 6/14/11, Shawn Alan photoph...@yahoo.com wrote: Rob and Listers Look to the left on FaceBook and you will see groups, click on meteorites group and up on the top of the page above the name of the group you will see edit settings.

I don't think so, and most university professors couldn't identify a meteorite if it hit them on the head.

Hundreds of millions of people now use Facebook as their open-id to keep their online profiles consolidated and allow one-click-login to a myriad of sites all over the web.

Re: [meteorite-list] Metal? in a Hematite Nodule
Hi Greg, Hematite IS a metal, so that's what I would expect to see in a hematite nodule. Some will be completely oxidized (rusted) so that there is no more visible metal left in them, but others will still have some metal in them. Hematite is Iron and Oxygen (Fe2O3), so that's why it's attracted to a magnet.

Re: [meteorite-list] Metal? in a Hematite Nodule
Hematite is often considered non-magnetic simply because its magnetism can be imperceptible. If it is highly magnetic, something other than the hematite is causing it. Hematite is known to mix with darn near anything!

[meteorite-list] Public Meteorite Collections? [WAS]: meteorite display at the worlds oldest still working Planetarium
This post reminds me of a small project I have. You may remember a year or so ago I created two files of larger public meteorite collections, one for Google Earth and the other for those using GPS devices or smartphones. I plan on adding this location to the next update (thanks for pointing it out Rob) and I have a few other minor locations that may be worth a stop and look by those interested in meteorites. I'm appealing to you, kind reader, to let me know of other public collections or displays, however small, that you've come across in your travels, which you think others might like to see. I'm also considering including other locations of interest, such as the Wold Cottage pylon, if anyone is interested in such a thing. Of course suggestions are always welcome. The latest version of the file is available in two formats: The KMZ file for Google Earth can be found at: http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~kowalski/meteorites/Public_Meteorite_Collections_v2.kmz The POI file for your Garmin GPS can be found at: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29100 Both files have been moderately well received, but one last question to you who have GPS units. I build my files in the Garmin GPX format. Would those of you who don't have a Garmin, would you be interested in the file if it were available in a different format, such as the Tom Tom OV2? Suggestions comments should be sent to me off list.

I forgot to mention I am also interested in locations such as the Turkish mosque with the possible meteorite embedded into the wall, an article about which was in a recent issue of Meteorite Magazine. (Sorry I don't have the issue close at hand so can't cite it properly right now.) Since I only have a handful of recent Meteorite mags, other locations mentioned in past issues would be new to me, Citations are useful, but a city country is helpful and a full address is most efficient.

[meteorite-list] Ensisheim last news
G'day List, It all starts in less than 3 days! Hope this info can reach some of you who live within our time zone, believing that the othyer significant number of our overseas guests is about to start flying... 1) The sad news came today. For the first time, our Grand-Maître, Jean-Marie Blosser (head of the Guardians) has to cancel Indeed, since this morning he is in hospital for at least one week (if all goes well). Serious problems. I'll know more tomorrow as soon as I visited him. Of course, nothing is cancelled and the few of us will do it for him, for better of for worse. (For the best, of course!) 2) We had a new proposal for a lecture, an offer we could not refuse. Two famous scientists, namely Prof. Vishnu Reddy and Dr. Lucille Le Corre, from Germany will visit us on Friday-Saturday. They are primarily looking for HED Fall samples that are not too weathered. They are trying to create a spectral database of HED samples to analyze Dawn mission data of Vesta The exciting title of their lecture is: Vesta,Vestoids and HEDS: Waiting for Dawn. You may want more on the Dawn shortcoming mission ? Here is a short summary of their talk: Vesta is the largest differentiated asteroid that is still mostly intact today. NASA's Dawn mission will begin a yearlong mapping mission of Vesta in July 2011. The talk will summarize our current understanding of Vesta based on telescopic observations, laboratory study of HED meteorites and compositional study of Vestoids Want to know more about the authors ? Vishnu Reddy is a research faculty at the Department of Space Studies, University of North Dakota, USA, and a member of the Dawn Framing Camera team at the Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Germany. His research interests include compositional study of asteroids and asteroid-meteorite link. Lucille Le Corre also works at Max Planck (Solar System Research). She is part of the team of the instrument FC (Framing Camera) Dawn of the NASA mission. Her specific research project concerns the study of planetary surfaces by remote sensing leading to the analyzis of their geology and composition. This lecture is scheduled on Saturday, 11:00 3) 4 new brothers had to get enthroned this year: Martin Horejsi (Pocatello, UT), Fabien Kuntz (Besançon, F) and Guy Verlooven (Malonne, B), our other lecturer. The fourth was our friend Erich Haiderer (Graz, A) but a couple of days ago he cancelled his coming. He anounced he can't make it as his 4x4 landcruiser, following an attempted theft, just had a huge differential destruction. 4) I may have some tables free after the withdrawal of Erich and Luc Labenne, while Hobein and Ismaily, who use to have their tables permanently reserved, desperately remain silent. Current last minutes vagaries of every show... 5) On a more pleasent note, more than 90 people from all over the world had reserved for the dinner party. Note that, besides the 3 menus (poultry, beef and...vegetarian), 3 brands of beer will be served: amber, white, and a special lemmon-based, mostly appreciated by women. For connoisseurs, besides the traditional Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir Meteorite cold wines, 2 specific reds are proposed: Château Vieux Charon 1ère côte de Blaye (Bordeaux,...ho Anne ?) and Calomb Jean Gleizes (région d'Oc). 6) Weather forecast: Thu 16th: Max T: 28°C (80 F), sunny (20% chances rain) Fri 17th: Max T: 24°C (75 F), sunny, light rain late afternoon Sat 18th: Max T: 23°C (73 F), cloudy, 60% chances scattered showers Thu 19th: Max T: 22°C (72 F), sunny, 10% chances rain Mon 20th: Max T: 27°C (78 F), sunny, 0% chances rain 7) Call for unusual or showy NWA samples for the museum display (show theme): pieces always wanted. But write first asap with details or write your own label. The display is set up on Friday. 8) Concerning museum and samples. In a neat future, the Guradians wish to extend their museum (that so far contains one single meteorite, though a very famous one (!!)). A coiple of new windows will soon be set and will be ready to host many meteorite samples so as to complete a decent display. The guardians thought that perhaps the other enthroned brother-guardians from all around the world might help this by providing some extra surplus meteorite samples sleeping in their drawers and wanting to get rid of them Medium or long term loan or donation would be highly appreciated. Donated samples will carry their defnite acknowledged labels with the name of the donor mentioned for centuries to come. Not a requirement, just a persuasive suggestion... No hurries though, just bear in mind... That's all folks. Cause for the next news, you all will be the players! Still 2 (short) nights to sleep!

For connoisseurs, besides the traditional Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir Meteorite cold wines, 2 specific reds are proposed: Château Vieux Charon 1ère côte de Blaye (Bordeaux,...ho Anne ?) and Calomb Jean Gleizes (région d'Oc). 6) Weather forecast: Thu 16th: Max T: 28°C (80 F), sunny (20% chances rain) Fri 17th: Max T: 24°C (75 F), sunny, light rain late afternoon Sat 18th: Max T: 23°C (73 F), cloudy, 60% chances scattered showers Thu 19th: Max T: 22°C (72 F), sunny, 10% chances rain Mon 20th: Max T: 27°C (78 F), sunny, 0% chances rain 7) Call for unusual or showy NWA samples for the museum display (show theme): pieces always wanted. But write first asap with details or write your own label. The display is set up on Friday. 8) Concerning museum and samples. In a neat future, the Guradians wish to extend their museum (that so far contains one single meteorite, though a very famous one (!!)). A coiple of new windows will soon be set and will be ready to host many meteorite samples so as to complete a decent display. The guardians thought that perhaps the other enthroned brother-guardians from all around the world might help this by providing some extra surplus meteorite samples sleeping in their drawers and wanting to get rid of them Medium or long term loan or donation would be highly appreciated. Donated samples will carry their defnite acknowledged labels with the name of the donor mentioned for centuries to come. Not a requirement, just a persuasive suggestion... No hurries though, just bear in mind... That's all folks. Cause for the next news, you all will be the players! Still 2 (short) nights to sleep!

[meteorite-list] regarding post of NWA 001 question PLUS careless IMCA member
O.k. Everybody, I have spoken to the IMCA member who tried selling me the NWA 001, after i confirmed with Adam Hupe and Dean Bessey and several other people who know a lot about this meteorite and i knew for certain it was practically impossible to have a half stone of NWA 001 that weighed 16 grams i went ahead and i confronted this IMCA member. It turns out that he apparently misread the label and it was not NWA 001 but that it was NWA 010. This is the second critical error this IMCA member has made. The first major error was when i ordered a .76 gram of lunar meteorite from him. He sent me a .23 gram piece instead of what i had paid for and i sent it back to him for a refund. His excuse was that his scale might of been off, but if that is the case then why was this item listed on ebay several times and one of the times it actually sold which means the buyer canceled the transaction and/or returned the item. Then his excuse changed after i sent him several pictures of the piece weighed on different scales of mine as i own over 6 scales and showed him the same weight of .23 grams on each scale. His new excuse was that he had two pieces and mailed me the wrong piece. So then i said o.k. no problem mail me the right piece and then he came up with another excuse stating that he is not sure where the bigger piece is because his son took it. So after i mailed him back the item for a refund is when he tried to sell me the NWA 001 instead of the refund which i became suspicious of when he stated it was a half stone and only after did i confront him about it did he tell me he made a mistake in reading the label. Two critical errors in a row made by an IMCA member makes me wonder a lot of things. I have recieved several emails asking about who this person is and it seems that all the people who are emailing already suspected somebody and they all suspect the same person. I do not want to give his name in a public format because i do not want to cause any problems for this person and maybe both times his mistake were honest mistakes. I have been selling and buying meteorite and meteorite related material for many years and I have never made such critical errors let alone twice in a row I have always been honest and double check everything i sell to make sure problems like this don't happen. I feel this member has behaved very carelessly and even if these mistakes where of an honest nature i think i never want to deal with them again. I am sorry that this experience has made me question the validity of IMCA logo's and i will be extra careful in the future when buying anything from anybody i don't know whether they are an IMCA member or not, one of the best dealers i know isn't an IMCA member and i never had any problems with him... I hope nobody has to go through the same experience i am going through right now just because somebody doesn't pay close attention to what they are doing when conducting business. Like i said there is a small chance that fraud was involved but even if these were honest mistakes they are unacceptable according to my standards and the way i do business. Rest assured anybody out there who deals with me i would never make such mistakes and I always take the up-most care to ensure that what you buy from me is as described and authentic and i double check everything before i ship it out and i think everybody who deals with meteorites should do the same thing.

The planetarium is reported to be the oldest still working Planetarium in the world (build from 1774 to 1781). It sounded like fun, and a nice opportunity to introduce people to the world of meteorites, so I agreed to participate. A photographic impression can be found at my website: http://www.asteroidchippings.com/Special_topics/Eise_Eisinga_Planetarium_Fra neker.html I think even if without the meteorite display, the Planetarium is definitely worth a visit when in the area.
