[meteorite-list] Does anyone know Phil Bagnall's email?
Hi Everyone, I was doing some research on Mt Dooling IC meteorite. I know in 1997 a 29kg mass was submitted to the WA museum, but the Museum did not keep it I have also found a really old Meteorite mailing list add from 2001, where Phil Bagnall was advertising a 29kg Iron with export permits. I basically want to find out if its in Australia or exported. At the very least I would love to see a image(s) of the find if possible. Since talking to Dr Alex Bevan of WA Museum, I have learned that the site of the original find was recorded incorrectly, which makes this find even more mysterious. There was a big slice of Mt Dooling at Munich last show - was it taken from this mass? Any information fellow list-oids can provide would be great!

[meteorite-list] AMS Mobile App For iPhone Android
Hello List, I’m happy to report that the American Meteor Society has just released a mobile app for iPhone and Android and its now available in both app stores. The purpose of the app is to enhance the data collected on fireball reports and provide a logging mechanism for meteor shower observing. Here’s an article about the App from Discover magazine that was just published yesterday. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/citizen-science-salon/2014/04/15/meteorite-app/#.U06E6OZdXni To download the App search the store for “AMS Meteors”. Here's an abstract about the app that was submitted to the Asteroids, Comets Meteors conference. The American Meteor Society (AMS) founded in 1911 pioneered the visual study of meteors and has collected data relating to meteor observations and bright fireballs for over 100 years. In December 2010, the online fireball reporting system was upgraded to an interactive application that utilizes Google Maps and other programmatic methods to pinpoint the observer’s location, azimuth and elevation values with a high degree of precision. The AMS has collected 10s of 1000s of witness reports relating to 100s of events each year since the new application was released. Three dimensional triangulation methods that average the data collected from witnesses have been developed that can determine the start and end points of the meteor with an accuracy of 50km (when compared to published solutions provided by operators of all sky cameras). RA and DEC radiant estimates can also be computed for all significant events reported to the AMS. With the release of the mobile application, the AMS is able to collect more precise elevation angles than through the web application. Users can file a new report directly on the phone or update the values submitted through a web report. After web users complete their fireball report online, they are prompted to download the app and update their observation with the more precise data provided by the sensors in the mobile device. The mobile app also provides an accurate means for the witness to report the elapsed time of the fireball. To log this value, the user drags the device across the sky where they saw the fireball. This process is designed to require no button click or user interaction to start and stop the time recording. A count down initiates the process and once the user’s phone crosses the plane of azimuth for the end point of the fireball the velocity timer automatically stops. Users are asked to log the recording three times in an effort to minimize error. The three values are then averaged into a final score. Once enough witnesses have filed reports, elapsed time data collected from the mobile phone can be used to determine the velocity of the fireball. With the velocity, trajectory solution and RA/DEC the AMS can plot orbital estimates for significant fireball events reported to the society. Our hope is that overtime this catalog of events will reveal patterns relating to the origins of bright fireballs at certain times of year. The AMS also hopes to be able to associate fireball events reported to the society with known meteor showers when RA/DEC radiant estimates fall close enough to those of known showers. In addition to the enhanced fireball reporting application, the AMS Mobile App provides a meteor shower calendar with information, radiant maps and moon conditions for all upcoming showers. There is also a meteor observing function inside the app that enables meteor observers to log meteor observations directly on the phone and have that data uploaded to the AMS online database and associated with that users observing profile. To record observations the user simply points the device at the part of the sky where they saw the meteor. They then drag their finger across the screen in the direction the meteor traveled. The user is then prompted to enter the magnitude of the event and associate the meteor with a known shower that is active for that date. When the user completes their session, all of the data for each meteor along with the information relating to the session is uploaded to the AMS website. Users can then review the data online in the AMS member’s area. Data across all users can be aggregated for statistical analysis and ZHR estimates. Currently the AMS has over 10,000 registered users and facebook followers. In 2013 over 680,000 people visited the AMS website and the society received over 18,000 witness reports relating to 713 confirmed unique fireball events.

[meteorite-list] MRO Spies Curiosity Mars Rover Near Martian Butte
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-116 NASA Mars Orbiter Spies Rover Near Martian Butte Jet Propulsion Laboratory April 16, 2014 Scientists using NASA's Curiosity Mars rover are eyeing a rock layer surrounding the base of a small butte, called Mount Remarkable, as a target for investigating with tools on the rover's robotic arm. The rover works near this butte in an image taken on April 11 by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It is available at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA18081 A rover's-eye view of Mount Remarkable and surroundings as seen from Curiosity's position in that HiRISE image is available in a mosaic of images from Curiosity's Navigation Camera (Navcam), at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA18083 The butte stands about 16 feet (5 meters) high. Curiosity's science team refers to the rock layer surrounding the base of Mount Remarkable as the middle unit because its location is intermediate between rocks that form buttes in the area and lower-lying rocks that show a pattern of striations. Depending on what the mission scientists learn from a close-up look at the rock and identification of chemical elements in it, a site on this middle unit may become the third rock that Curiosity samples with its drill. The rover carries laboratory instruments to analyze rock powder collected by the drill. The mission's first two drilled samples, in an area called Yellowknife Bay near Curiosity's landing site, yielded evidence last year for an ancient lakebed environment with available energy and ingredients favorable for microbial life. The rover's current location, where multiple types of rocks are exposed close together, is called the Kimberley. Here and, later, at outcrops on the slope of Mount Sharp inside Gale Crater, researchers plan to use Curiosity's science instruments to learn more about habitable past conditions and environmental changes. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The project designed and built Curiosity and operates the rover on Mars.

[meteorite-list] AD: lots of new things.
Hello all, This is my first ad under new policy. (Thanks Art). I just added no less than 65 new pieces to my website, a couple on the http://www.impactika.com/special.htm page, a lot more on the http://www.impactika.com/MetIRON.htm and http://www.impactika.com/MetSTON.htm pages. So you will find of all those new pieces easily they are written in Red. I have also revised a lot of prices, and those too are in Red, for your convenience But that still leaves well over 300 pieces (not counting the thin-sections!!) that are sitting here and have never appeared on my website. So here is a suggestion for those of you who just cannot wait for the day in the near (or far!) future when I will post them: email me Off-List and I will send a complete catalog to you either by email, or in print, whichever you prefer. And as usual, tell me if you have any questions, or find an error somewhere. And thanks! Anne M.

[meteorite-list] Bogus Meteorite Warning
Hi List, Experienced collectors can tell at first glance that this is NOT a meteorite. But, for the newbies on the List, here is a warning - this meteorite is junk. Link - http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-41-kg-45-lbs-Unclassified-Meteorite-stony-Carbonaceous-/201074616603?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item2ed0fb291b I would report it to eBay, but that is a complete waste of time that would be better spent watching paint dry. I would contact the seller and inform him/her that their meteorite is an Earth rock, but that time would be better spent watching my fingernails grow. Given the detailed description, this seller is obviously full of excrement and is trying to scam people - this is not an misinformed seller, this is a thief. Remember this seller for later. Buyer beware.
