[meteorite-list] AD: Huge fresh L/LL3 slice
Dear List, I'm offering a huge 39.4g full slice of the fresh Unequilibrated Chondrite NWA 5919 for sale. NWA 5919 was classified as an L/LL3 S1 W1. The slice contains numerous Bulls-Eye Chondrules and strange Xenoliths, one of which is relatively large and looks to be re-crystalized material. Detailed photographs (2.8-5.2MB) - that are worth viewing even if not interested in buying - can be found here: Front view: http://www.asteroidchippings.com/NWA5919/front.JPG Back view: http://www.asteroidchippings.com/NWA5919/back.JPG Side view: http://www.asteroidchippings.com/NWA5919/side.JPG Original label (included): http://www.asteroidchippings.com/NWA5919/label.jpg I'm open to off-List offers.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tata-Foumzgit Martian Fall. The most significant fall of this century?
Yep, also the modelling by Gladman, that 5% of the ejecta from Mars will fall on Earth, but that 50% of the rocks released from Earth/Moon will be collected by the Earth-Moon-system again, tells something about probabilities, but not about the absolute frequency, how often an impact on Moon and Mars releases rocks into space. Also the notion, that a rock blasted off from Moon will jump more or less directly on Earth is somewhat incorrect. We have exposure ages for the lunars, partially, where we weren't sitting in the trees yet - up to more than a dozen millions of years, where that stuff was orbiting around the sun. But, folks. Chassigny, that was Waterloo, Congress of Vienna and Beethoven still composing symphonies - Shergotty, there you had just finished the Civil War and Lewis published Alice in Wonderland - Nakhla, the Mexican Revolution, Agadir-crisis, and the Titanic is launched - Zagami = the Cuban Missiles Crises, Algerian independence war, And the Ford Edsel was skipped! And you, you know now for 3 weeks from the new Martian fall; after such an eternity - though now you're yearning for a lunar fall? Huh.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Classification Question - Instruments
Hi Robert, The electron microprobe is the instrument of choice for quantitative analyses of major elements of silicate minerals like olivine. SEM is great for qualitative analyses, quickly to see what elements are present - energy dispersive spectroscopy is nice technique to screen iron meteorites unknowns for example. As I understand it the XPS is used primarily imaging like an SEM, also chemical mapping. The ion beam instrument is a fabulous state-of-the-art device for imaging at very high resolution and can be used for micro- nano-milling and manipulation. These last two are amazing research tools, but not really what you need, right off the bat, for basic classification work. You must be at a very high-powered research facility!

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Classification Question - Instruments
I may have missed part of the discussion, but isn't XPS the acronym for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy? I haven't followed the development of the instrument for many years, but it used to be used for surface spectroscopy. It would only sample the first atomic layer or so of the substrate that was being analyzed, and its major advantage was that it would not only tell you what some of the elements were on the surface, it would provide the valence or oxidation state of the element. This information would tell you something about how the element was combined with other elements on the surface. Perhaps the valence information might be helpful in identifying mineral species. I believe that SEM and TEM will not provide valence information. And yes, I believe the XPS has been provided with mapping capability since I used to follow the subject. If anybody can fill me in on whether this is the XPS that is being talked about, and if there have been any meteorite studies using XPS, it would be much appreciated.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tata-Foumzgit Martian Fall. (Why no lunar falls? and freshest lunar?)
Hi Doug, Martin, and List, I know nothing of the mathematics and modeling of meteoroid impact rates, but it strikes me as anomalous (statistically) that we don't have any lunar falls yet. It seems likely that there have been lunar falls, but they were never recovered or recognized. I agree with Martin when he says we should savor the energy that this new fall brings, because it shouldn't happen again (statistically) for another ~50 years. It felt very special to hold a sample from this fall only months after it fell to Earth. To hold the freshest Martian is far more exciting than to hold the freshest ordinary chondrite. And I would think many collectors would agree, that to experience that same thrill with a fresh lunar would be a great sequel to this Martian event. :) On a related note, a question - what is the freshest lunar on record? In terms of terrestrial age, what lunaite has the most recent fall?

[meteorite-list] Tata-Foumzgit Martian Fall. (Why no lunar falls? and freshest lunar?)
MikeG Listers MikeG you said I probably should have clarified - the 21st century. So basically the last ~12 years. It's hard to find a fall (pun intended) in the last 12 years that is more important (overall) than this Martian. In terms of scientific value, Tagish Lake is probably high on the list of the most important in the 21st century. I would have to agree on Tagish Lake its very important and I would say more important then TATA in regards of scientists have no clue which parent body it came from, and the presolar grains it has and the large amount of nanodiamonds found within the meteorite. With the TATA meteorite, this makes about 79 classified meteorite from Mars. In ratio to parent body, thats alot of meteorite from one location in space considered science has no clue where Tagish Lakes parent body is. So in repect to science, TATA is just another Mars meteorite, another one to add to the growing list of Martianites :) On the other hand, ALMAHATA SITTA is by far the most signficate fall in the last 12 years Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 eBay Store http://www.ebay.com/sch/ph0t0phl0w/m.html?

[meteorite-list] AD: ASU left-overs
Hello everybody, Great news!!! Just in time for the Tucson Show!! I just finalized a large trade with Arizona State University. When I was there last October, I spotted a bunch of small containers with pieces of iron meteorites in them, so I asked and was told that every now and then a chunk is cut off a large mass for lab. work, then some is used in the lab, and some is left-overs, and Yes, those were all left-overs! But what left-overs!!! What names!!! Ashfork, Gressk, Norfolf (Arkansas), Sanderson, Silver Bell.. etc, and most of them from the Nininger Collection bought by ASU in 1960. Total: over 20 ultra-rare irons. Yes, all of them are small to exta-small pieces, but that makes them affordable!. Please take a look at the ASU IRONS page: _http://www.impactika.com/asu.htm_ (http://www.impactika.com/asu.htm) Please notice that they are presently getting profesionally cut/polished/etched and that they will not be available before the Tucson Show, but that is only 2 weeks away. Please do let me know if you would like me to reserve something for you. Enjoy! and See you all very soon in warm sunny Tucson (Hotel Tucson City Center (InnSuites) Room 322). Anne M.

[meteorite-list] The 13th annual “Meteorite Men” Birthday Bash - Don't miss it!
Hi all, The Tucson Gem show will be here very soon and so I thought it’s time to announce a few things. Michael Blood just posted that due to me having a full plate this year I will NOT be streaming the Blood Auction live. I apologize to those of you that enjoyed it last year but I’ll be very busy as this will be the first year for me to be selling (Room 234 - Hotel Tucson City Center) and so I just can’t swing it. However, I will be streaming – assuming we have no technical difficulties – The “Meteorite Men” Birthday Bash! LIVE on Friday, February 3, 2012 at 5 P.M. From: The Onyx Room 106 West Drachman Street Tucson, Arizona 85705 Click here to see where to watch from: http://www.mrmeteorite.com/livevideofeed.htm I’ll be testing the Steaming Video from my Hotel Room on Wed. Jan, 25th so that everyone can log in or register so that we can chat live! Geoff, Jim Wooddell, and I will get together a week or so head of time and check out the new venue to make sure all is OK for the live feed. But as of right now, we’re committed! Geoff Notkin says, “Much as we liked Sky Bar, the venue is just too small for us now, and parking was a beast. The Onyx Room has a large free parking lot in the rear, and there is plenty of free on-street parking all around. This is a big space, reminiscent of a New Orleans jazz club. There is great Southern cooking and a full bar with drink specials. Gem show veterans will recognize the space, as it is almost directly across from the old Executive Inn. This venue is only about a five-minute taxi ride from the Tucson Hotel City Center/InnSuites, so is as convenient as could be. The Onyx Room also has a small stage and good P.A. system, so you'll actually be able tohear the Harvey Awards this year : ) A D.J. will spin music later in the evening and we are looking at the possibility of flying my old guitarist in from New York so my rock band can do an unplugged set, following the Harveys. In other words, it's going to be the best birthday bash ever. Our friend Ruben Garcia is planning on presenting a live vidcast direct from the party for those of you who cannot make it in person. Everyone is welcome! Please don't think you have to know us personally to be warmly invited. If it's your first time in Tucson, or you don't have friends here -- you do now.” -- Rock On!
