Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

Mr Pierce,

He is being "amazingly rude" because you think we are amazingly naive.
We are not. We have seen this CRAP before many many times and it just doesn’t 
fly.
I asked to see a photo of your meteorite precisely because I was a bit 
suspicious.
Upon reviewing the photos it is VERY CLEAR that it is another Campo del 
Cielo.
So instead of wasting PSU;’s time I will give you the classification right 
now.

What you have is :
classification Octahedrite  Group IAB  Composition 92.9% Fe, 6.7% Ni, 0.4% 
Co
So you see you don’t even have to worry about cutting your precious 
hoax.

Simply dissolve back into obscurity where you belong.
No one here cares about your story.

PS,
   I googled your name and...you wouldn’t happen to be a former Law 
enforcement officer would you?

just curious

-Paul Gessler

Wow, Michael Farmer, you are amazingly rude.
Is your rudeness typical of this meteorite community, or are you just a 
troll, or just an angry person?


I don't know what a "pen Oregon" iron meteorite is".  Can you explain? 
Because I am new to this stuff.


You are the only person so far who has claimed to be able to classify this 
meteorite from only a photo.


But let me clarify again, the intention is to only the smallest possible 
window cut to generate a sample big enough for classification.
You are also the first person to advise that classifying the meteorite will 
take it to very low value.  Is this consistent advise from the community 
here?

I have no intention of cutting it beyond that.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron



Hello All,



This is my first post here.  I joined recently because I found a lovely 
nickel-iron meteorite, and that has spurred my further interest in this 
subject.  My meteorite has been confirmed as the real thing by staff of the 
Meteorite Lab at Portland State University, who would like to perform 
classification.  It is 11.2 kg, and according to PSU staff, it will be only 
the seventh classified meteorite ever found in the state of Oregon.




I’ve enjoyed reading these archives, but I haven’t yet been able to find 
answer to my question.




I’m posting here to ask if anyone has any experience cutting an iron 
meteorite with the CBN blade that is sold by Johnson Brothers Lapidary. They 
advertise it as just the thing for cutting irons.  I’m interested to know 
anything about blade life, rim speed, feed rate, and using plain water as a 
coolant/lubricant.  For cutting the analysis sample, I have machining 
experience and very suitable tools, except for the blade, which I would like 
to be a circular blade.




I welcome replies here on the forum, or by private email.



Kind regards,

John

[Michael Farmer via Meteorite-list]

Sorry for the typo. I'm sure it isn't the first you've ever seen. 
That is 100% Campo del Cielo. 
Yes, it's pretty easy to identify.
Enjoy the meteorite. What was it, $200 on eBay?

If you really found a pen Oregon iron meteorite, you really want to destroy it 
by cutting on it? You will most likely take the value from very high to very 
low. 
Ludicrous.

[meteorite-list] Declaration of Independence and an ad :-)

[Dustin Dickens via Meteorite-list]

Hi List Members,


I have decided to use this Independence Weekend as an opportunity to
announce my own independence from Eegooblago Meteorites and its
proprietors. As of about a month ago, I am officially a sovereign
entity legally transacting business as Top Meteorite. OK, maybe not
sovereign, but solo!


I started this adventure many years ago, in Morocco’s High Atlas
Mountains, studying and writing about the Agoudal Impact Structure and
hunting for the Agoudal Iron back when it was still known as Imilchil.
My love for meteorites, hypervelocity impacts, planetary science,
writing, and exploring just kept growing.


Several years later I came to Tucson and made a relatively significant
investment into a meteorite company named Eegooblago Meteorites. In
the end, and for reasons I will not go into here, the deal fell apart
and the partnership was never finalized.  I’ve made it through the
long separation process, and with no real bones to pick.

The net result was an extensive, expensive education on many levels,
which I now consider priceless.  So I suppose all is well that ends
well. I now have quite a collection of amazing new friends,
colleagues, and some cool meteorites to boot ;-)


On a much sweeter note, I have recently classified the following meteorites:


Nakhlite - NWA 10645


Angrite - NWA 10646


Lunar feldspathic breccia - *NWA 10644


Shergottite - NWA 10441


*paired with NWA10644, but it is being reclassified, as even though
this material is from the same find, it came in another shipment and
was not included in the TKW


I will eventually get these up on the website www.topmeteorite.com but
if anyone is interested I can send photos of particular interest and I
am very open to offers. Contact me at dus...@topmeteorite.com or PM on
Facebook if you prefer.


I also came away with a bit of NWA 8159 martian augite basalt. This is
a truly rare martian representing a new impact event and the type
specimen for the augite basalt. Only 149g TKW and only ~60g or so ever
made available for purchase other than the ~49g main mass. I have ~13g
available with 2 specimens in the ~2.2g mass range and representing
two of the largest specimens available. The rest are sub gram sizes
from 0.75g to 0.05g.


I hope your 4th of July is a great one


Dustin -

Gary, I agree. Looks like a Campo del Cielo to me too. An overly cleaned one at 
that.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron

[John Pierce via Meteorite-list]

Al,
Thanks for the information about the CBN blades.  Good to know!

I took the meteorite to the folks at PSU.  They inspected/tested it and
advised that their equipment is not big enough to hold/cut the stone.
I didn't see their saw, so I don't know for sure what their limiting factor
is, but their blade is only 4 inches diameter.

I appreciate your advice, but I trust myself more than I trust most other
people, and I am pretty capable at most shop things.  I've done a lot of
machining on steel, and I have another small iron meteorite (if it is even
genuine) that I purchased years ago that I would "practice" on.  I have a
horizontal milling machine in my shop that is much more rigid and precise
than any band saw, and which can outfit with a saw blade.  With appropriate
care, I can cut a slice of steel that has faces that are parallel within a
few thousandths of an inch.  So, while I will consider your advice very
seriously, I'm not quite ready just yet to completely give up the idea of
cutting an analysis sample myself.

Thanks for your wishes of good luck.

OK, photos.
I'm not the most computer literate person.
I had go create a Photobucket album, and I hope this link works:

Please, no need to flame me for cleaning the rock.
I read and considered a lot before proceeding.
Simply my preference with no concern regarding market value.

Found by me personally on our 32-acre property in Southern Oregon.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor wine

[ALAN RUBIN via Meteorite-list]

Meteor vineyard is selling a 3-pack of their current release of Meteor Wine
for $375.00, still steep, but a lot less than $200 a bottle.  You have to
join their mailing list (which is free) to enable you to purchase their
products. I've never tried it, so I cannot evaluate its quality. Just FYI.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron

[almitt2--- via Meteorite-list]

 Hi John,

 Using a CBN Blade sold by the company you referred to is a bad idea
in my experience. In the past I used their blades and they were great
early on. Don't know what happened but the quality of the blades went
down and I coudn't even cut a half inch before the material on the
blade wore off. I could feel on the blade where it was smooth and other
areas maybe still a little cutting material left.

 I commented to the company owners before they sold the business and
they were concerned as I showed them the blades and mentioned how long
the blades lasted. However the problem was never solved and I stopped
wasting my $$ on the blades.

 I don't recommend that someone who hasn't cut meteorites before cut
off a sample. Picking the right spot so as not to detract from the mass
is important. No doubt you will get a lot of people offering to cut for
you, some good some not so good. Why not take it to the meteorite lab
in Portland to have a sample cut. I would bet they would allow you to
be there during the cutting.

 I'd make sure they know what they are doing as I have seen cutting
jobs messed up by some of the best known institutions. One place lost
over a kilo of material from their lack of knowledge of the material.

 Good luck!

I am searching for a bottle of Meteor wine. 
A friend would like to include one in his public meteorite display. I have

they want $200.00 for one bottle, a bit steep for this project.
I have seen several different bottles with meteors on the label over the years. 
If you have a spare bottle please  kindly contact me.  The bottle can be empty

Hi
If You plan to cut that 11kg specimen You propably need to use band saw. Or 
give it to someone who have experience with such big specimens

Subject: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron


Hello All,



This is my first post here.  I joined recently because I found a lovely 
nickel-iron meteorite, and that has spurred my further interest in this 
subject.  My meteorite has been confirmed as the real thing by staff of the 
Meteorite Lab at Portland State University, who would like to perform 
classification.  It is 11.2 kg, and according to PSU staff, it will be only 
the seventh classified meteorite ever found in the state of Oregon.




I’ve enjoyed reading these archives, but I haven’t yet been able to find 
answer to my question.




I’m posting here to ask if anyone has any experience cutting an iron 
meteorite with the CBN blade that is sold by Johnson Brothers Lapidary. 
They advertise it as just the thing for cutting irons.  I’m interested to 
know anything about blade life, rim speed, feed rate, and using plain water 
as a coolant/lubricant.  For cutting the analysis sample, I have machining 
experience and very suitable tools, except for the blade, which I would like 
to be a circular blade.




I welcome replies here on the forum, or by private email.



Kind regards,

John

[meteorite-list] Ad: FS Specimen of NWA 10667

[Bigjohn Shea via Meteorite-list]

Hello Meteorite Enthusiasts!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Recently I've had some specimens classified, one of which is a beautiful 
Eucrite with a stunning brecciated appearance. 

The official classification per Dr. Tony Irving is:

HED Achondrite (Eucrite, Monomict Basaltic Breccia, Shocked)

Here are some links for your consideration-

Right now I only have this large 21g partslice available. I am asking 20$/g for 
this specimen (420$) and am more than willing to consider offers.  Shipping is 
free, international or otherwise.

I will retain the main mass, which is more than 1/3 of the remaining portion 
after the type specimen was cut.  This 21g piece is the second largest 
specimen, and there will be at most 3-4 other smaller specimens of NWA 10667 
made available once I get a chance to produce more slices.

Hope everyone is doing great!
Cheers!

[meteorite-list] Predicted terrestrial temps of fallen mets

[Kevin Kichinka via Meteorite-list]

Team Meteorite:

Although having been subscribed to the m-list for almost twenty years, I
don't recall ever seeing a rigorous mathematical analysis predicting
possible parameters for surface temperatures of meteorites picked up soon
after they fall.

I admit to wondering still how the resultant 'equilibrium temperature' of
the freshly fallen meteorite relates to the apparent 'surface temperature',
i.e. how hot or cold the chondritic meteorite will feel in your hand
moments after landing. Do we know this?

Rob's work considers the parent bodies' albedo while various scenarios are
offered factoring in the objects shape in space, orbit and distance from
the sun.  Taken together, he's brought clarity to a topic that has puzzled
the field forever.

Fantastic contribution Rob!
