I immediately recognized it as something I already had a piece of! I have already analyzed this stuff and found it to be wholly terrestrial (as were the other two specimens you gave the rock shop). I finally got to analyze a nice specimen of the real NWA 5000 in Denver last week (which, in my opinion does not look much like your stuff at all, aside from the breccia texture. But then what do I know, I only have a bachelor’s in geology with minors in math, physics and chemistry and a meteorite dealer for 25 years now but YOU have an Audio Visual degree!). Any way: HERE ARE THE RESULTS: I ran both of these in two different modes for a better element coverage. Soils mode (the one that is best for accurately picking up very low level stuff in rocks and dirt), is not set up to see Si or Mg in my machine, so I use “Mining” mode to see those often important elements (among others). This mode is not as accurate in the numbers reported as soils, but it gives a pretty darn good ball-park number (this really does not matter when comparing two rocks run on the same machine. Any errors in calibration accuracy will be the same in the other sample, so they ‘wash out” so to speak). I have also converted the numbers all to ppm, since this is what you seem to be so stuck on. I usually use % as that is a little easier for the average person to understand (for those of you that are curious 1ppm = .0001% or 1gram in a metric ton (1000kg, 2200pounds). “SOILS” MODE: NWA (5000) Ba (160), Ca (143,087), Cl (4775), Co (553), Cr (544), Cu (52), Fe (37,941), I (570), K (1512), Mn (476), Rb (3), S (1429), Sr (178), Ti (1619), Zn (23), Zr (87) YOUR “Pairing” Ba (580), Ca (11,464), Cl (10,064), Cu (59), Fe (6853), K (23,422), Mn (99), Pb (19), Rb (64), S (964), Sr (714), Ti (1469), Zn (44), Zr (169) A quick look at this tells me that you have way too little Ca, Cr (you had NONE of this critically important element in all meteorites in this sample!), Fe, and Mn. You also have way to high Ba, K, and Sr -- all features common to many terrestrial (that is EARTH rocks, if you don’t understand the lingo) materials. “MINING” MODE: Note – LE is “light elements” This device cannot see elements of atomic weight lighter than Mg. In rocks, this is usually O (oxygen). NWA (5000) Al (154,940), Ca (131,430), Cd (200), Cr (850), Fe (45,800), LE (334,220), Mg (43,300), Mn (890), Ni (50), Sb (320), Si (285,060), Sn (220), Ti (2110), V (260), Zr (87) YOUR “pairing” Al (89,390), Ca (8270), Cd (194), Cr (190), Fe (13,570), LE (409,990), Mn (290), P (600), Pb (13), S (500), Sb (300), Si (472, 980), Sn (210), Ti (2780), V (500), Zr (218) A quick look at these numbers shows that your sample is to high in LE (oxygen), Si and Zr. Your sample is to low in Al, Ca, Cr, and Fe. The high Si linked with a high LE number tells me that you have a lot of quartz in this rock and hints that it is indeed a rhyolite lava breccia. These type lavas are VERY common to the San Juan Volcanic field just south of you. Much of those mountains you see to your south are the remnants of huge, explosive volcanoes. The high Si content makes these lavas thick and sticky and the volcanoes they are associated with particularly violent in their eruptions – hence the breccia structure in your rock (though, admittedly, it could be from a fault zone but it looks more typical Rhyolite breccia to me).

Re: [meteorite-list] UARS -- Alberta or Pacific fall?
Marco and all, So where did UARS come down? Was it southern Alberta or over the Pacific. The NASA update says the latter. Rob, others, The video from Okotoks, Alberta, looks suspect. I have the same feeling as some other people: a series of Chinese lanterns, not UARS debris. There is very little evolution in the series of dots. Could be wrong of course, but I have serious doubts about this report. - Marco - Dr Marco (asteroid 183294) Langbroek Dutch Meteor Society (DMS) e-mail: d...@marcolangbroek.nl http://www.dmsweb.org http://www.marcolangbroek.nl - __ 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

In addition to the kits, I have several fragments from both greenhouse hammer stones listed after the kits below. If you are interested in any of these, please email me Off-List for a price list. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have creating them!

Re: [meteorite-list] LOOKING FOR UPDATE ON METEOR INCIDENT FROM BASKING RIDGE, NJ
Dear List, A newspaper has contacted me for a followup story about the New Jersey Mystery Crater Event on Basking Ridge, NJ. Several of you went there personally to have a look at the crater. If you wish to help please email me an email with you answers and I will forward your information to the writer; thank you in advance. Original Story with photos: http://patch.com/A-ht0r 1) Is there any way this could be a prank? 2) Do you know if a seismograph measured from the nearby William Annin Middle School is a reliable source of data? 3) If it was a meteor, why were there no traces of a meteorite found or no iron traces which are normally found in meteors? Supposedly the meteor was supposed to be the size of a baseball. 4)Is it possible the meteor ricocheted off the lawn or another rock and landed far away from the impact site? 5) Are meteors and meteorite hits really uncommon? 6) Do you think this sounds like it could have really been a meteorite? Please email me offlist with your comments. Thank you.

Re: [meteorite-list] UARS -- Alberta or Pacific fall?
Bob, Marco, all, Chris, Now someone in Ottawa is getting into the act (picture of contrails?): http://www.torontosun.com/2011/09/24/ottawa-resident-says-space-oddity-was-falling-satellite Canada wants this one ;-) Rumor is the video turned out to be lifted from another probably from Oklahoma City and not a whole lot to do with the UARS. As for all the hoopla about Alberta unless this is the world's biggest conspiracy, it is sounding like a bunch of people progressively feeding and weaving a tall tale (as in the episode The Omega Glory of Star Trek) until it has little to do with the original. From Calgary: http://www.calgaryherald.com/sign+that+debris+from+falling+satellite+landed+Alta/5454240/story.html If you take a moment to think about this, with all the amateur and professional all-sky cameras and online communication, and folks looking for the show, more original accounts would be showing up by now. As for the crater story (also picked up by the Christian Science Monitor), one wonders how it seems to have first shown up on the other side of the world in Australia first...maybe where the pranksters were having a lazy afternoon.

Marco and all, So where did UARS come down? Was it southern Alberta or over the Pacific. The NASA update says the latter. Rob, others, The video from Okotoks, Alberta, looks suspect.

Sure, a piece of sheet metal and things much thicker can rip after the ablative stage but before free fall as things rip apart in dense atmosphere! Even irons can get sharp shrapnel.

[meteorite-list] 1 in 3200 odds of human impact (help)
Hi listers I'm very suspicious of this widely quoted 1 in 3200 that is being passed off as a scientific number by NASA. Not 1:3000, nor between 1:1000 to 1:10,000: but 1:3200. This foolishly precise assertation, which if you've read The Little Prince you immediately suspect it is overstated due to the author's calculations 70 years ago there...where a similar calculation is actually done ... Average cross sectional area of a person? (Depends if it is in the morning when everyone is praying, I guess, or in the afternoon when everyone is running out of work)...let's say: Cross section per person:18 inches by 18 inches (1.5 x 1.5 sq. feet) World population: 6.964 X 10^9 living souls World Area: 196,939,900 sq miles Calculations: * Cross section per person = 2.5 sq. feet * current world population occupies 624.3 square miles (a wee bit bigger than Guam, and smaller than Singapore) * people that could fit on Earth's surface: 2,196,000,000,000,000 (2.2 million X 10^9) * Fraction of Earth's surface that's people = 6.96 / (2,196,000) = 0.0317 = People occupy *ONLY* 3.2 parts per million (3.2 ppm) of the earth's surface So, saving rounding till the end, each piece of UARS actually has a 1/315,457 chance of falling on people (1/0.0317). In rounded numbers, that's about 1:320,000 per fragment == 26 fragments approximately 1:12,000 chance. I guess if you are American you need more space than if you are Indonesian, and changing it to a 18 inches X 17 inches would change the result by 6% ie, if 3200 were right for 18X18 it would now be about 1:3000, and that is one of so many assumptions making the 3200 number a total joke of fake scientific confidence. If you gave everyone a square yard ((91.4 cm)^2) instead, it would be in the 3000 range. But here are the defficiencies I think of looking at it this way: * this looks at the whole world vs. the limited satellite trace. A true measurement would do a little calculus along the path considering the population density and the probability of earlier or later entry which could change probabilities by an order of magnitude easily. * I think what I did would work for 26 darts, but not hunks of significant size compared to a person's area unit. * Finally there is the Sylacauga effect for bouncing material that will affect things another factor of 2, 3, 4 who knows...
