Hi William, Michael, No need to get all anal about the verbage, this ain't a Supreme Court hearing.

You're being overly reactionary in your reply to Michael.

By the way, I can tell the difference between a Murchison and NWA 2086, and would you beleive I can do so without the use of analysis. That is a completely different matter.

Aloha Jeff, Rob, Michael, and Scott, cc; metlist I can agree with both sides of the argument, that the only way to be absolutely sure an ordinary chondrite is a type 3 is to have it analyzed.

Re: [meteorite-list] WANTED: small unclassified type 3's
Howdy, all. I agree that we can make educated guesses with high degrees of certainty, but until it's come from the lab calling something unclassified by a definitive classification is incorrect, despite how apparent its petrological type appears to be. Gary, I can't tell you that meteorite is not a type 3, but I also cannot say definitively that it is. It probably is, but that's as far as I would go. :) Michael in so. Cal.

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Continuing Drive to 'Solander Point' - sols 3324-3330, May. 30, 2013-Jun. 06, 2013: Opportunity is continuing her push to reach 'Solander Point,' now reaching the site called 'Nobbys Head' along the way. Stereo imagery of Nobbys Head will be collected to assess north-facing slopes there as a possible bailout site for winter, if Solander Point can't be reached. Opportunity drove on Sols 3324, 3325, 3328 and 3330 (May 30, June 1, June 4 and June 6, 2013), totaling over 0.19 miles (310 meters) in a continuing southerly direction. With sufficient power the rover was able to support an AM Ultra High Frequency relay pass on Sol 3327 (June 3, 2013). The plan ahead is to drive more as the rover moves closer towards Solander Point still some 0.93 miles (1.5 kilometers) away. As of Sol 3329 (June 5, 2013), the solar array energy production was 535 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.806 and a solar array dust factor of 0.663. Total odometry is 22.75 miles (36.61 kilometers). __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Mars Rover Opportunity Trekking Toward More Layers
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-194 Mars Rover Opportunity Trekking Toward More Layers Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 07, 2013 PASADENA, Calif. - Approaching its 10th anniversary of leaving Earth, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is on the move again, trekking to a new study area still many weeks away. The destination, called Solander Point, offers Opportunity access to a much taller stack of geological layering than the area where the rover has worked for the past 20 months, called Cape York. Both areas are raised segments of the western rim of Endeavour Crater, which is about 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter. Getting to Solander Point will be like walking up to a road cut where you see a cross section of the rock layers, said Ray Arvidson of Washington University, St. Louis, deputy principal investigator for the mission. Solander Point also offers plenty of ground that is tilted toward the north, which is favorable for the solar-powered rover to stay active and mobile through the coming Martian southern-hemisphere winter. We're heading to a 15-degree north-facing slope with a goal of getting there well before winter, said John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., project manager for the Mars Exploration Rover Project. The minimum-sunshine days of this sixth Martian winter for Opportunity will come in February 2014. NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Project launched twin rovers in 2003: Spirit on June 10 and Opportunity on July 7. Both rovers landed in January 2004, completed three-month prime missions and began years of bonus, extended missions. Both found evidence of wet environments on ancient Mars. Spirit ceased operations during its fourth Martian winter, in 2010. Opportunity shows symptoms of aging, such as loss of motion in some joints, but continues to accomplish groundbreaking exploration and science. Shortly before leaving Cape York last month, Opportunity used the rock abrasion tool, the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer and the microscopic imager on its robotic arm to examine a rock called Esperance and found a combination of elements pointing to clay-mineral composition. The Esperance results are some of the most important findings of our entire mission, said Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., principal investigator for the mission. The composition tells us about the environmental conditions that altered the minerals. A lot of water moved through this rock. Cape York exposes just a few yards, or meters, of vertical cross-section through geological layering. Solander Point exposes roughly 10 times as much. Researchers hope to find evidence about different stages in the history of ancient Martian environments. The rim of Endeavour Crater displays older rocks than what Opportunity examined at Eagle, Endurance, Victoria and Santa Maria craters during the first eight years of the rover's work on Mars.

[meteorite-list] IAU Approves New Names for Ten Major Fault Scarps on Mercury
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=240 MESSENGER Mission News June 7, 2013 IAU Approves New Names for Ten Major Fault Scarps on Mercury The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a proposal from the MESSENGER Science Team to assign names to 10 rupes, the long cliff-like escarpments that formed over major faults along which one large block of crust on Mercury was thrust up and over another. The IAU has been the arbiter of planetary and satellite nomenclature since its inception in 1919. In keeping with the established naming theme for rupes on Mercury, all of the newly designated features are named after ships of discovery. We proposed the name Enterprise Rupes for the longest rupes on Mercury, which is 820 kilometers (510 miles) long. The USS Enterprise was launched in 1874 and conducted the first surveys of the Mississippi and Amazon rivers, says Michelle Selvans of the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies at the National Air and Space Museum. Selvans led the effort to name this group of rupes. We also recommended some fun names, such as Calypso Rupes, for Jacques Cousteau's ship, she says. And other names were proposed for their personal connections, such as Palmer Rupes, named after an icebreaker research vessel on which Selvans sailed to conduct marine geophysics research offshore of Antarctica. The other names are * Alvin Rupes, after DSV Alvin. Built in 1964 as one of the world's first deep-ocean submersibles, Alvin has made more than 4,400 dives. It can reach nearly 63 percent of the global ocean floor. * Belgica Rupes, after RV Belgica. Built in 1884, this steamship was originally designed as a whaling ship. It was converted to a research ship in 1896 and took part in the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897-1901, becoming the first ship to overwinter in the Antarctic. * Carnegie Rupes, after a yacht launched in 1909 as a research vessel. The ship was built almost entirely from wood and other non-magnetic materials to allow sensitive magnetic measurements to be taken for the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. During 20 years at sea the vessel traveled nearly 500,000 kilometers (300,000 miles) and carried out a series of cruises until an onboard explosion in port destroyed the ship in 1929. * Duyfken Rupes, after a small Dutch ship built in the late 16th century. In 1606, the vessel sailed from the Indonesian island of Banda in search of gold and trade opportunities on the island of Nova Guinea. Under the command of Willem Janszoon, the ship and her crew did not find gold, but they did discover the northern coast of a huge continent: Australia. * Eltanin Rupes, after the USNS Eltanin, launched in 1957 as a noncommissioned Navy cargo ship. The vessel was built with a double hull and officially classified as an Ice-Breaking Cargo Ship. In 1962, the ship was refitted to perform research in the southern oceans and reclassified an Oceanographic Research Vessel. Magnetic field measurements made with the Eltanin were critical in validating the hypothesis of sea-floor spreading. * Nautilus Rupes, after the Exploration Vessel Nautilus. In service since 1967, the ship has conducted underwater studies in archeology in the Mediterranean and Caribbean seas. The vessel is currently equipped with remotely operated vehicles and a high-bandwidth satellite communication system for remote science and education. * Terror Rupes, after the HMS Terror. Built in the early 1800s as a British Royal Navy bomb vessel, the ship was involved in the bombardment of Fort McHenry, one of the last battles of the War of 1812. The bombardment provided the inspiration for Francis Scott Key to write the American national anthem Star Spangled Banner. After being retrofitted for polar exploration, the ship participated in Antarctic exploration. Selvans says that Mercury's rupes are revealing a great deal about the evolution of the planet. Each feature formed over a major fault system that accommodated kilometers of horizontal shortening of Mercury's crust. The accumulated contraction taken up by the faults that underlie the rupes collectively records the cooling and contraction of Mercury's interior over the past 4 billion years of planetary history. In choosing those rupes to receive names, the team picked from among the longest and most geologically interesting features that have been imaged by MESSENGER. These features are easy to identify in images taken at dawn and dusk, when they throw shadows along their entire length, Selvans says. A crisp shadow that is only about 1 kilometer wide but hundreds of kilometers long really stands out in images. Since 1976, the IAU has approved names for 27 rupes on Mercury. The latest names are

To friend and foe alike, Besides the response from Mr. Mulgrew to my request, a number of you responded in the manner I was expecting, the result being I was successful at acquiring a few meteorites. It's that simple, I just wanted to get some meteorites, not invite a superfluous debate.

Re: [meteorite-list] WANTED: small unclassified type 3's
Thank you for the apology, William; you are a true gentleman. While I disagree that any debate on this matter is superfluous (my profession requires me to be exact in my language), I am glad you successfully acquired what you were after. Michael in so. Cal.

Re: [meteorite-list] WANTED: small unclassified type 3's
Thumperianism: The character Thumper first appears in the film Bambi, watching as Bambi is first presented as the young prince to the creatures of the forest. He remarks that Bambi is kinda wobbly but is reproved by his mother who makes him repeat what his father had impressed upon him that morning, If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. This moral is now known by such names as the Thumperian principle, Thumper's rule or Thumper's law. Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumper_%28Bambi%29 Sterling K.
