[meteorite-list] AD: Special - NWA 8705, Mars Meteorite
Dear List Members, today I would like to introduce a new and unpaired Martian meteorite. NWA 8705 has a very small mass of only 6.2 g. It is a very beautiful Mars meteorite with fresh black fusion crust and interesting shock veins. Paired finds are not known. Even after extensive search on the finding site, no further meteorites were found. The following pieces is all that is available of NWA 8705. http://www.sr-meteorites.de/specials/nwa8705/nwa8705.html Please don´t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. i...@meteoriten.com In the coming weeks I will present some more amazing meteorites at this place, don´t miss the opportunity to aquire some very exotic meteorites for your collection! Thanks for looking!

Re: [meteorite-list] Up and Coming Hunt - Possible Giant Iron Meteorite Located
Hi Bob, Good question, It was based mainly on rumors, rust color and size. The shifting of the channel after the object slid down the bank also provided some encouragement. You may be looking at the wrong object in the image. There is a smaller dark spot just below the pin-mark which is not the object in question. It is the larger object further down which is 20 feet plus across. The other small objects are bushes, which also cast shadows making them look similar although much smaller. It is too bad that we cannot get military quality satellite images of this object so we have to look at it in the field in person. It could be a giant piece of scrap iron, part of an airplane wreck or something else. It is simply too out of place to immediately explain. The simplest answer is usually the correct answer. In any case, it remains enough of a mystery for us to take the trip.

How did you distinguish this object from so many similar looking dark spots in the photo. It looks nearly identical to those. Was it on the basis of the change in wash flow?

We examined historical satellite images and the object appears to have shifted five feet to the left over the last 20 years leaving a void in the dirt bank and re-shifting the position of an intermittent wash. We feel the object has to be heavy in order to rechannel the large wash. It is a real object that sits high enough above the ground in order to cast a shadow. It is rust colored with a green tint. The green tint can also be seen in the bank were it may have left a weathering halo. Nickel is known to turn green with weathering so we take this as a positive indication.

We still have a few bugs to work out with our equipment before being able to reach this object. I was finally able to access a dry lake bed yesterday that I have been trying to get to for several years that we thought was only accessible by helicopter. I still have two issues to deal with that I thought were resolved; nothing like a real field test to expose any weaknesses. My main NAV computer lost satellite acquisition due to cloud cover so I need to install a booster. The backup system worked although it only provided limited data. Another problem with both SPL OPS Rubicons that arouse is a shifting issue. The adaptive computer has learned bad driving habits and doesn't like to stay in overdrive on inclines automatically at 80 miles an hour on pavement even though the powerful engines don't need to be downshifted. No matter what, we are committed to the hunt after postponing it to early June. It will be good to have boots on the ground again.

[meteorite-list] meteorite samples match levels found in the human body
Hello Listers This is pretty cool Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Researchers find levels of nitrogen in meteorites similar to levels in Earth's atmosphere A trio of researchers in Germany has found levels of nitrogen in carlsbergite in two meteorite samples match levels found in the human body and the Earth's atmosphere. In their paper published in Nature Geoscience, Dennis Harries, Falko Langenhorst and Peter Hoppe with Universität Bayreuth, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena and Max-Planck-Institut für Chemie respectively describe their analyses of two primitive meteorites found in Antarctica in 1979, and offer theories as to how nitrogen levels found in them came to be there.
