Re: [meteorite-list] Prehistoric Gibeon artifacts

2017-12-15 Thread Greg Frazier via Meteorite-list 
Is the maker and/or the Gibeon prehistoric?

Do I qualify as a native tribe?  

I have seen a lot of cool stuff made out of Gibeons, ancient and otherwise!


 
:) Greg

Hello Listers,


I often read, about Gibeon, this meteorites was used by native tribes to make 
weapons, tools and jewelry, over the last 50,000 years.



However, I have not been able to find any photos of these prehistoric Gibeon 
artifacts in Internet, or even any research papers mentioning these tools.


It's very strange, but you can directly verify this fact on Google: no images, 
no scientific paper. 


So, my question: do these artifacts really exist? Where are they? Are there 
pictures of them? Does anyone know anything about it?


I wrote several times to the museums of Windhoek, Namibia, but they never 
answered: really funny!


I hope to receive some useful information from you.



Many thanks for your kind attention.


Best regards from Rome.

[meteorite-list] My new strange carbonaceous chondrites from Chile

2017-12-15 Thread Timur Astronom via Meteorite-list 

  Ladies and gentlemen!
  I ask to express your opinion on the meteorites that I found. Its appearance, 
photographs of the sections and in reflected light - are on my wall, in 
Facebook (the topmost message): https://www.facebook.com/bredfild
It seems that the meteorite is similar to CK4, 5 or 6, but the chondrules are 
too small, and in general, something is wrong with it ... :)
  Sincerely, Timur__

Thanks Frank,
I will try to contact Steve. However, an anvil doesn't change the
problem: many texts continue to repeat something that does not find
photographic evidence.
Is it perhaps a fake news? Mah!? I don't know. The silence of the Museums
of Windhoek, Namibia, is strange too. Perhaps these ancient devices made
with iron of Gibeon don't exist. This is that I begin to think.

Hello Listers,

I often read, about Gibeon, this meteorites was used by native tribes to
make weapons, tools and jewelry, over the last 50,000 years.

However, I have not been able to find *any photos* of these prehistoric
Gibeon artifacts in Internet, or *even any research papers* mentioning
these tools.

It's very strange, but you can directly verify this fact on Google: no
images, no scientific paper.

So, my question: do these artifacts really exist? Where are they? Are there
pictures of them? Does anyone know anything about it?

I wrote several times to the museums of Windhoek, Namibia, but they never
answered: really funny!

I hope to receive some useful information from you.

Many thanks for your kind attention.

Paolo,
I'm not sure that the ancient nomadic San people who inhabited the 
desert area where Gibeon fell had anything to do with metal as they 
really didn't need it in their culture. The Bantu peoples who came much 
later to the fringes of the desert did have a metal knowledge and made 
metal artifacts but where they got the metal may have been from sources 
other than Gibeon. A Gibeon anvil may have been used by Bantus 
relatively recently. Try searching on San (Bushman) metal artifacts but 
I think you will have a long search.
