Re: [meteorite-list] Bob Haag's Adamana Cast

2019-06-12 Thread Alexander Seidel via Meteorite-list 
I also had one cast of Adamana, but sold it long ago in Ensisheim. I still have 
another two
casts, one of them from the Middlesbrough fall in England, way back in 1881, 
but this is a
bit inferior to production quality than Adamana. My best cast is that of the 
Neuschwanstein
fall in Germany in the Alps, very near to the Austrian order (.. of the early 
found sample).
This production was initiated by my dear collector collegue Dieter Heinlein, 
and is special
insofar, as it is nicely coloured, looking almost like the original natural 
stone, which I
once had the pleasure to be able to hold it in my hands, and moreover it has 
exactly the
weight of the original stone. Also not for sale. It will go along with my small 
original
Neuschwanstein specimen one of these days, but not now...

Re: [meteorite-list] Hraschina iron meteorite

2018-09-01 Thread Alexander Seidel via Meteorite-list 
I saw it offered a long time ago, but if there are any newer offers,
rest assured you have to rely STRONGLY on a good and solid documentation
of the specimen, as goes with all "famous" meteorites (..like e.g. Hoba etc).

P.S.: I am sorry, I can´t offer Hraschina. That one missed my collection,
unfortunately.

Best wishes anyway

Categorization as "fake news" would be a quick and inexpensive reaction to asteroids sized whatever.

Re: [meteorite-list] The "definitive" collector's list of meteorites

2018-05-13 Thread Alexander Seidel via Meteorite-list 
I did not follow this closely, but as far as famous US collections are
concerned, don´t forget the Haag and Schwade collections, besides Monnig
and Nininger. Well, may be I overlooked something here, and it was already
mentioned. If so, pardon please.

Then I suggested the Pultusk meteorite should definitely be added to Mendy´s 
first list, which was done in the meantime, thank you.

Re: [meteorite-list] Anyone using Metbase?

2014-06-01 Thread Alexander Seidel via Meteorite-list 
Hi All,

does anyone have experiences with Windows 8 so far in this respect?
I am using MetBase on an old laptop with XP, which works well, but
will upgrade to another machine soon, and these new machines, if they
are not from Apple, will now run on Windows 8 or 8.1, right?

Joern Koblitz, afaik, is a very busy man, CEO of his own company in a
field now which has nothing to do with meteorites. This is at least what 
I have heard in the past, when I asked people who knew him, as to whether 
he will upgrade his great database or not. I was happy enough to talk
to him, and meet him on several occasions, but this is already a decade
or so ago. So I´m not sure about the actual situation, and especially
not sure, whether an adjustment to new operating systems can or will be
made or not. There are certainly some guys around here, who will still
have more actual contacts to Joern, they may know. Or Joern himself may be
reading this, as he was an always-present, very friendly and knowledgeable 
man on many meteoritical occasions (e. g. MetSoc meetings) in the past,
And by the way, he had (or may be he still has) a very impressive personal
collection of meteorites.

  Hello Mike, Peter, All,
  Unfortunately MetBase is not working on the MS OS systems above
  Windows XP. At least on my PC. I'm keeping MS XP on my computer just
  for that!
  I do like MetBase very much and hope that Joern will adjust it for the
  new Windows OSs. Even without updates for the new meteorites entries,
  just with the old database.
  I'm personally using MetBase database for my website. I like that I
  can use the actual day/month of fall/find to show it
  (http://sv-meteorites.com/) on the right column.
  Unfortunately MetBull has no data like this.
  Best!

  Hi Mike,
  
 Metbase is my first stop when looking for info on a meteorite. If I
  want to add a sample to my collection the repository info is a great help.
  If I want to learn more about the meteorite the list of references is
  awesome, it is almost as good as having Bernd Pauli beside you. The only
  problem is that it needs to be updated. If there was an update available I
  would purchase it in an instant. My guess is that the online database of 
  the
  Meteoritical society has cut into the demand for Metbase. It shouldn't,
  Metbase has a great multivariate search function that leaves the Met
  society's database in the dust. I hope that Metbase is updated soon, I need
  a new disk and would love more info on more meteorites.
  
  Thanks,

  Hi List,
  
  I was looking at the MetBase website and was curious if anyone here is
  currently using the MetBase software.  Do you find it useful and is it

  the investment?
  
  I noticed that the last update listed on the website was scheduled for

  Is it still being updated?
