  To all reading, my best,

  At this March 31, Easter Sunday, I wish my best to everyone for a wonderful

  For some reason, I wondered if any meteorites are attributed to March 31 
    and found these: As printed on the Met-Bul
      Avec - 1908 - IIAB
      Kasamatsu - 1938 - Chondrite
      Revestoke - 1965 - CI-1
      Zsadany - 1875 - H-5
    Intentionally, left one out which may be close to Mr. MG ?

Happy Easter, John

Re: [meteorite-list] Most confirmed falls in a year?

 In addition to the 17 witnessed falls worldwide for 1933, that year also had 
two others that are possible falls, Elton, Texas and Willard (b) New Mexico.

Hi Listees,

I was recently wondering, what year has the most confirmed witnessed falls?

I have been closely following falls since the year 2000, and according
to my records we have a few contenders in recent years. I am thinking
one of these must be the most.

2018 has 15 falls, but two of them are not official (HaH 346, aka
Ghadamis, was classified as a find) and a fall over Pakistan was not
recovered or recorded. This leaves 14 classified falls in a 12 month
period :

Jan 05, 2018 - Matarka (L6 chondrite) : Morocco
Jan 16, 2018 - Hamburg (H4 chondrite) : Michigan USA
Feb 16, 2018 - Ablaketka (H5 chondrite) : Kazakhstan

Jul 26, 2018 - Glendale (L6 chondrite) : Arizona USA
July 27, 2018 - Benenitra (L6 chondrite) : Madagascar
Aug 12-17?, 2018 - "Bhakkar" (unofficial) (ordinary chondrite?) : Pakistan
Aug 21, 2018 - Gueltat Zemmour (L4 chondrite) : Morocco
Aug 26, 2018 - Hammadah al Hamra 346 (L6 chondrite) : Libya (aka "Ghadamis")
Sep 26, 2018 - Komaki (L6 chondrite) : Japan (Hammer)
Oct 28, 2018 - Ksar El Goraane (H5 chondrite) : Morocco
Dec 23, 2018 - Mhabes el Hamra (H4/5 chondrite) : Mauritania

2020 gave us Covid-19 and 13 classified falls :

Jan 01, 2020 - Cavezzo (L5-an chondrite) : Italy
Jan 09, 2020 - Zhob (H3-4 chondrite) : Pakistan (Hammer)
Feb 28, 2020 - Novo Mesto (L5 chondrite) : Slovenia

Hello all,

First week of December 2021, I was hanging out in my hot tub when a large 
blue/green trailing sighing that stretched from the left to right across the 
entire horizon and then broke apart into pieces and fell to the ground. We 
spend a lot of time back there staring at the skies and I have a good feeling 
that this landed approximately within 2 miles from our home. I’ve never seen 
anything like this in my life. 

I feel like me and my family may be the only people that are aware of this 
sighting and I feel like I should share this with the group. There was nothing 
in the local news or social media about the sighting. If you are a serious 
hunter of meteorites and would like to reach out to me for more info, send me 
an email. 

Thanks!

Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA List] Dave Gheesling

2020-11-12 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
 I am in shock.  Dave was so helpful, friendly, and generous to everyone who 
knew him and was a great asset to the meteorite community in particular.  He 
certainly was a great help to me when I was putting the book together on US 
falls.  I also saw how generous he was as Svend certainly remembers.  Five 
years ago, Dave was sending a package of material overseas to Svend that was to 
include a soft cover book of "From Weston to Creston" that he had ordered from 
me.  Unbeknownst to Svend, Dave upgraded the order to a signed & numbered hard 
cover book.  I know that surprise was unexpected but certainly greatly 
appreciated.
I know Dave will be greatly missed, but remembered by all of us for years to 
come.  Our prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

Just devastated to wake up this morning and hear this sad sad news. Dave
was an inspiration to many, me included. He was so kind and generous and

Maybe someone who has access to the original paper can answer if the author's

Hi Steve & all,

I have the direction of Richardton coming from the SSW.  I have a copy of the 
strewnfield map in my book "From Weston to Creston" (2016).  The reference I 
got this from is from Murphy & Forsman (1998) Meteorites in North Dakota" in 
North Dakota Geol Survey Educ Series no 23, 23 pages.

Re: [meteorite-list] Why carbonaceous chondrites? (A "thank you" to Mr. Horejsi)

2019-03-10 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
Hello Michael,

Martin does have a great way of describing meteorites.  My favorite was his way 
of describing the Cumberland Falls aubrite comparing an individual stone to a 
bread loaf, writing that many were sliced up like loaves of bread, resembling 
not "the rectangular blocks we Americans call bread, but the wonderful cushions 
that flow from European bakeries." He continued the metaphor, writing that "the 
oven of the Earth's atmosphere baked the crust on the enstatite-rich achondrite 
to golden brown perfection" that covered a brecciated, snowy-white interior 
filled with exotic herbs of chondritic inclusions and metal flake.  

His description certainly makes your mouth water.  Maybe you'll soon obtain a 
slice of your own cosmic bread!

Cheers,

Frank

My friends often ask me "What got you interested in meteorites?"  I honestly 
don't have a good answer to that question.  I do, however, know precisely when 
and how I was inspired to focus on carbonaceous chondrites.

As a newbie to the hobby (cough, obsession), I was reading through back issues 
of Meteorite Times Magazine when inspiration struck.  In a June 2011 article 
about Nogoya, a CM2, Martin Horejsi wrote:

   "Gazing into a polished face of Nogoya is like staring into space
   through a telescope. Everywhere you look there are interesting
   features. Little galaxies, nebulas, constellations, planets, suns
   and moons orbit the stone." 

Up until that point, I'd considered CCs to be rather drab cousins to the 
bejeweled pallasites, sculptural irons, and multi-chondrule'd type 3 OCs. 
However as I looked at the accompanying photo in the article, I thought by 
gosh, he's absolutely right. How perfect is it that a window into the black 
interior of a CM2 meteorite can also be a window back out to the universe where 
it originated -- if only you have the imagination to see it. You may have to 
look a tiny bit deeper to see the beauty, but it's absolutely there. Anyway, 
that's what first hooked me on carbonaceous chondrites.  Now I have my own CM2 
specimen to gaze at in wonder.  So, thank you, Mr. Horejsi!

[meteorite-list] Fw: Louisville availability

2019-02-05 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 


 Hello Mike,

Park Forest and Orlando also hit cars in the US. When I wrote my book on US 
witnessed falls, I could find no photos of Louisville other than one (black & 
white) I acquired for the book through the University of Louisville and those 
in an article in the Transactions of the Kentucky Academy of Science. These 
data are in my book, "From Weston to Creston." The book is available through me 
for $40 including US shipping.

I have never seen any of Louisville available to collectors.

All the best,

Frank

PS Those darn typos; your "Worsen" obviously should read as "Worden."

Re: [meteorite-list] Looking for Portales

2018-03-07 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
Hi Dennis,
I assume you are looking for Portales Valley, the H7 metallic melt breccia that 
is a witnessed fall? However, there are 4 "Portales meteorites; Portales(a), 
Portales(b), Portales(c), and Portales Valley.
Price on Portales Valley depends on whether it is all stone or shows metallic 
veining.  Not real common to find full slices now, but Meteorite Market has 
some part slices for sale at about $40/gram.

[meteorite-list] Book anniversary Ad #1

2018-01-12 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
Hello all,

It been one year now since my book, "From Weston to Creston" became available 
for purchase.  I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me put it together 
and also to those who have purchased a copy.  From all the feedback I've 
gotten, it has been well received.
In recognition of its one year anniversary, I'm selling copies through this 
weekend with FREE SHIPPING to those in the US.  Unfortunately the cost of 
shipping overseas is prohibitive for books, so I can't offer free shipping to 
those of you outside of the US.
Soft cover books are $36.00 and hard cover books are $90.00. I also have a 
dozen or so left of the original 100 signed and numbered copies. Those are 
$150.00 each.
Purchases of multiple copies are discounted depending on the number of copies 
purchased.  A few months ago an astronomy club contacted me about purchasing 
books for some of their members.  They ordered enough copies for a 30% 
discount.  Payment can be made through Paypal or check.
For those list members that are new and unfamiliar with the book, "From Weston 
to Creston" is a compendium of all the witnessed US meteorite falls.  It 
includes nearly 170 one-to-three page summaries of those meteorites concerning 
their fall and recovery circumstances, interesting anecdotes, and early 
collection histories.  It is highly illustrated with over 300 photos, maps, and 
tables.  A review of the book can be found at: 
https://www.meteorite-times.com/articles/from-weston-to-creston-book-review/
Books will also be available at Tucson.
Please contact me off list if you are interested in purchasing a book.
Thank you,
Frank Cressy

Re: [meteorite-list] Prehistoric Gibeon artifacts

2017-12-14 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
Paolo,

Steve Arnold (of Meteoritemen) probably has photos of a Gibeon anvil that he 
purchased a few years ago.  I believe it was nicknamed "The Crocodile."

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.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bishopville aubrite

2017-11-19 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
Hi Peter,
Found a couple of instances where meteorites may have been recovered by slaves. 
 
Richmond, Virginia fell in 1828 and most probably was recovered by slaves. "An 
overseer and several negroes were at work..."  "The persons hastened toward the 
place...and after considerable search. found a hole in the turf..."  "They dug 
and got the stone..."
Forsyth, Georgia fell in 1829 and may have been recovered by slaves.  
Concerning the fall circumstances, it was written that "This extraordinary 
noise was on the same evening accounted for by Mr. Sparks and Captain Postian, 
who happened to be near some Negros working in a field 1 mile south of this 
place, who discovered a large stone descending through the air..." 
As a plug, I'll note that these accounts were taken from my book, "From Weston 
to Creston - A Compendium an Witnessed US Meteorite Falls - 1807 to 2016"  
Books still available ;-)
All the best,
Frank

The Crescent (Oklahoma) meteorite (8/17/1936) was also discovered with the help 
of cows.  When Robert Brown of the Texas Observers was tracking the Crescent 
meteorite "he encountered one old boy who said he saw the light but was in his

were looking this way." Brown modified his ground track based on where the cows

Animal behavior potentially could indicate were the fallen meteorite is. Crows,

Hello all,
Thank you all for your interest.  As a clarification, the $6 shipping is by 
USPS media mail and is good for US destinations.  Costs to ship single books 
overseas seem prohibitive. For those interested, books will be available later 
this year in the EU and at Ensisheim.

[meteorite-list] Happy birthday to the Giants

2015-02-18 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
February 17 and 18 are the birthdays of the two largest meteorites to fall in 
the US.  On February 17, 1930 the Paragould meteorite fell in the northeastern 
corner of Arkansas.  The 820 pound stone recovered from the fall was the 
largest meteorite recovered from a witnessed fall in the US to that time.

Eighteen years later, on February 18, 1948, the Norton County aubrite fell near 
the Kansas-Nebraska border.  The 2360 pound main mass was found on July 3 and 
later recovered from a 10 foot deep hole.  It remains the largest stone 
meteorite seen to fall in the US and the second largest largest fall in the 
world after the Jilin, China meteorite that fell on March 8, 1976.

Cheers,

Frank

Last week I noted that there were 9 instances of two meteorite falls occurring 
on the same day since 1865.  I found my data on these so here they are:

1. Aug. 25, 1865 - Aumale, Algeria (L6) and Shergotty, India (Martian)
2. Aug. 28, 1925 - Ellemeet, Netherlands (Diogenite) and Lanzenkirchen, Austria 
(L4)
3. Aug. 8, 1933 - Sioux County, USA (Eucrite) and Repeev Khuyor, Russia (Iron)
4. Sept. 17, 1945 - Atoka, USA (L6) and Soroti, Uganda (Iron)
5. Sept. 21, 1949 - Akaba, Jordon (L6) and Beddgeler, Wales (H5)
6. Oct. 20, 1951 - Manych, Russia (LL3.4) and Yambo, Congo (H5)
7. Oct. 30, 1994 - Devri-Khera, India (L6) and Lohawat, India (Howardite)
8. June 21, 2002 - Kilabo, Nigeria (LL6) and Thuathe, Lesotho (H4/5)
9. March 1, 2009 - Carterville, USA (chondrite) and Nkayi, Zimbabwe (L6)

Additionally, in two instances, falls occurred on the same day but in the same 
area, and are assumed to be from the same fall. They are:

Sept. 26, 1939 - Glabggang, Indonesia (H5/6) and Selakopi, Indonesia (H5)  Both 
fell near Bandung
Nov. 13, 1952 - Galim (a), Cameroon (LL6) and Galim(b), Cameroon 
(EH3/4-an)Rubble Pile??

Enjoy,

If you are looking for the same day but different years then you can

It is a bit outdated statistic based on MetBase data. MetBase has a
day of fall/find and MetBull doesn't. That's why not all the recent

Re: [meteorite-list] The True Story of Ann Ho dges: History¹s Only Meteorite Victim

2015-01-19 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
Rob, all,

The Hammer stone in the Alabama Museum of Natural History was the stone that 
was cored. (Why would the Smithsonian core their stone after already slabbing 
it?) 


Provenmire in the 2003 article Sylacauga, Alabama Revisited in METEORITE, 
vol. 9, no. 2 states this about the Hodge's stone: An approximate 31 mm 
diameter core has been removed from the bottom of the object (34 mm deep) for 
internal examination and thin section analysis.  He also includes a photo of 
the stone which shows the core hole.

Cheers,

Frank

And that the one and only core (plus a slice) was taken from the Smithsonian 
second mass?

 I believe about 13 thin slices of the core - which are about the diameter 
 of
 A quarter, but only about 60% as thick - total in the entire meteorite
 community. It is always far more expensive than the 2nd stone from the
 Smithsonian (which is not the hammer stone), due to higher desirability
 Combined with a far greater degree of rarity.

 The True Story of Ann Hodges: History¹s Only Meteorite Victim

 January 16, 2015
 By First to Know


 Getting hit by a falling meteor
 is far more uncommon than getting struck
 by lighting. How uncommon you might
 ask?




 There is only one confirmed person in history to have ever
 been hit by
 one. And she had the evidence to prove it.

 Back in November
 1954, Ann Hodges was taking a nap in her Sylacauga,
 Alabama, home when a
 rock about 12 inches in circumference came crashing
 through the ceiling. The
 meteorite then collided with her thigh, leaving
 behind a large, conspicuous
 bruise. Thankfully, it didn¹t smash into
 her head, or the scene would have
 been much more gruesome.

 When word got around about the meteor, the
 entire town flocked to her
 home. There were so many people curious to see
 what happened that she
 became extremely nervous and had to be taken to the
 hospital. Because
 she was a simple country woman, she wasn¹t used to all the
 attention.
 It made her frenzied.

 The incident didn¹t end there.


 Despite a government geologist confirming that the object was, in fact,
 a
 meteorite, police confiscated it and requested the Air Force¹s
 verification.
 Many people in the tiny town thought the smoke trails in
 the sky and loud
 explosion meant a plane had crashed, while others,
 paranoid by the Cold War,
 blamed the Soviets. The object needed some
 clearing up.

 Once verified,
 the only other thing left to do was figure out who the
 rock belonged to. Of
 course, Hodges believed it was rightfully hers to
 keep.

 ³I feel like
 the meteorite is mine,² she said, according to the
 Alabama Museum of Natural
 History. ³I think God intended it for me.
 After all, it hit me!²

 But,

2015-01-19 Thread Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list 
Hello all, 


Dug deep into my files to get this data.  


Two specimens from the Dr. Elbert King collection were sold in 1999.  These 
were described core samples and I can only believe they were from the Hodge's 
stone.  The core fragments weighed 3.2 grams and 39.1 grams.

Dr. Jim Schwade had a 162 gram slice from the second stone that he received in 
trade with the Smithsonian.  I believe that most of the samples one sees for 
sale now are from this slice.  (My 0.44 gram part slice came from that slice :-)

Don't know how much more, if any, has been deaccessioned by the Smithsonian.

Cheers,

Frank

She “wasn’t a person who sought out the limelight. The Hodges were
just simple country people, and I really think that all the attention
was her downfall,” explained museum director Randy Mecredy.

What makes this woman’s story so rare is that meteorites typically
fall into the ocean or land somewhere desolate (not on top of a woman
napping on her couch), according to Michael Reynolds, a Florida State
College astronomer.

“Think of how many people have lived throughout human history,”
Reynolds said. “You have a better chance of getting hit by a tornado
and a bolt of lightning and a hurricane all at the same time.”

Hi All,
 
I believe that Wilmot was also a Nininger cold find.
 
From Nininger's Collection of Meteorites:
This meteorite was found ny Dr. Nininger in a plum thicket near a farm house.  
Adhering loam soil indicated it had recently been turned up by the plow but the 
renter then living on the farm knew nothing as to the stone's origin or that it 
even existed.

Hi Bulletin Watchers,

There is one update to the bulletin.  The full classification of
Puente-Ladron has been added.  This was Harvey Nininger's only cold
find, which he spotted while taking a lunch break in the New Mexico
desert.

Description and full classification of Puente-Ladron

History: On May 17, 1944, Harvey H. Nininger stopped for lunch along a
stretch of highway in New Mexico and found an unusual-looking stone in
the desert that he thought might be a meteorite, which it was. The
full writeup of his discovery was published by Nininger (1944). This
was the only cold find of his career.

Physical characteristics: Single 7.673 g fusion-crusted roughly
pyramidal 1.5 × 1.5 × 2 cm stone. Fusion crust is dark gray and
relatively fresh, with minor weathering and few cracks. A few
recognizable chondrules (up to 1 mm) visible on sawn surface. Evenly
spaced, irregularly shaped metal grains up to 2 mm and troilite grains
up to 0.5 mm. Surface criss-crossed by thin black shock veins. Tan and
white matrix, with rust around the metal grains. Sparsely distributed
chromite grains to 200 μm.

Petrography: In thin section, sample largely recrystallized with rare
recognizable chondrules. Chondrule-matrix boundary diffuse. A few
barred olivine and porphyritic olivine chondrules present. One 4 × 3
mm achondritic clast composed of pyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase
with, grains up to 50 μm. Some plagioclase grains up to 200 μm. Opaque
shock veins with melt pockets present. Troilite along shock veins
commonly shows shock lamellae. Some troilite is polycrystalline. One
kamacite grain shows poorly developed Neumann bands. Some kamacite
grains up to 30 μm contain abundant blebs of troilite. Two 10 μm
grains of metallic copper found associated with troilite. Partially
recrystallized plagioclase. Olivine demonstrates weak undulatory
extinction indicative of S2. Sparse euhedral chromite to 50 μm. Minor
oxidation around metal grains indicative of S1.

Geochemistry: (S. Glaser, K. Johnson, J. Long and L. Garvie, ASU):
EMPA, Olivine Fa25.0±0.3, FeO/MnO=51.4±5.8, n=11; low-Ca pyroxene
Fs21.0±0.1Wo1.8±0.3, FeO/MnO=29.5±1.0, n=6; high-Ca pyroxene
Fs7.0Wo46.6, FeO/MnO=19.2 and Fs7.8Wo45.6, FeO/MnO=21.4; plagioclase
Ab81.4An12.7Or5.8 and Ab79.6An14.1Or6.3

Classification: Ordinary chondrite, L6, W1, S2.

Specimens: 4.51 g stone, one polished thin section, and one polished
endpiece, ASU.
