Re: [meteorite-list] ureilite for sale

Sorry, Michael,

but 'amateur' means not only the contrary of 'professional', but comes 
from the latin 'amare' = to love.

An amateur is also a lover.

Re: [meteorite-list] Origin of Tektites

2010-09-11 Thread Guy Heinen
Hi Mike and all tektitophiles,

have a look on my website http://webplaza.pt.lu/guyhein/index.html.
My book ' Tektites - witnesses of cosmic catastrophes' gives an explanation on 
impactors hitting Earth under a very oblique angle and producing tektites. The 
book collects a lot of research from renowned tektite researchers  and supplies 
 a plausible theory.

All the best

 Aubrey,
 
 Keep working on your book, I'm sure there is a lot of interest in the 
 subject, especially for a source takes all the best research out there and 
 puts it together in a interesting and unified narrative.
 
 Question:
 
 Oblique impacts and those impacting silica rich sedimentary rock favor 
 tektite production. Tektites are melted and distally ejected terrestrial 
 rock. 
 
 
 I had not heard that Oblique impacts favor tektite production, in fact I 
 thought that high velocity perpendicular impacts favored the vaporized ejecta 
 plume reaching outside the earth's atmosphere.  Could you elaborate on the 
 evidence favoring oblique impacts, or provide a link to any research on the 
 topic?
 
 Thanks,

 Hi 
 
 I'm not sure if I qualify as a tektite 'expert', but I have done a lot of 
 private research. I am working on a book which is 2/3 complete - hopefully 
 2011, but I struggle to find the time with my work and new baby! 
 
 I have an extensive reference list on my website www.tektites.co.uk. This 
 includes links to many freely downloadable papers. I've not updated the site 
 recently so some material is out of date. Also I am working on an even more 
 extensive reference list right now. 
 
 Since the 1970's there has been no doubt as to the origin of tektites. They 
 are formed by an asteroid or comet impacting with the Earth. The tektites 
 are formed in the very earliest stages of impact. Oblique impacts and those 
 impacting silica rich sedimentary rock favor tektite production. Tektites 
 are melted and distally ejected terrestrial rock. 
 
 North American tektites (Bediasites and Georgiaites) come from the 
 Chesapeake Crater. 
 
 Moldavites come from the Ries crater, Germany 
 
 Ivory Coast tektites come from Bosumtwi Crater in Ghana. 
 
 Australasian tektites come from an undiscovered crater most likely in the 
 Bay of Tonkin between Vietnam and China, perhaps closer to Vietnam. It will 
 be discovered and there is no doubt in this. 
 
 Hope this helps, 
 
 Aubrey

Hi Greg L and Greg C,

I agree 100% with you.

Bill, the time for writing your long e-mail must have cost you at  
least one hour and enough energy to press several thousand times the  
'delete' button for e-mails that you don't want to read.

   Hi Greg,

 I agree with your assessment.  Chicago Steve may be a little odd,  
but who of us isn't.  I have gotten a couple of free meteorites from  
him and I'm thankful to Steve for that.  Instead of his constant  
complaints about someone like Steve, who has a child like quality to  
him in his quest to bring joy to others with his give aways, Bill  
should try doing likewise.  Perhaps he should buy a bunch of  
inexpensive NWAs and just give them away to school children and  
perhaps his neighbors.  I've done this and believe me, seeing the  
excitment in these people when they hold their first meteorite in  
their hands is worth the time and money I spent.
 As to you, Bill, should you read this email, I'd suggest you loose  
the Scrooge like attitude toward life.  Life is short.  Best to make  
an impact while we're here.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Steve Arnold (Elgin). Man of his word.

I just would like to add something to this...

My experience with Chicago Steve has ALWAYS been good.
He has given me many freebies and has also purchased from me, but  
yet has NEVER asked for anything in return. No discounts, no  
special deals, nothing.
I have bought from him, received the meteorites in a very prompt  
time and they have been as described.

Thats my experience.

What I have seen in my limited time on the list...

He offers a great deal of wonderful meteorites, FREE to those that  
want them.
Sure, he may break the rules from time to time, but no worse then  
others have/do, and far less severity then many have done.
A few people are ready to jump all over him for posting too much,  
yet remain silent while others do it.
Add to that the 10-15 posts about his post, makes for 1--15x as  
much emails to deal with.


While I am not taking any sides in this, I just felt the need to  
express my thoughts.



Hope everyone is doing well.

What exactly is your point?
(rhetorical of course) Who's the one with the problem? The
one who apologizes for some of the things they've done, or
the one who points out the faults of others and consistently
posts negative comments and BS with an obvious prejudice
that no one wants to read, and all in all never contributes
anything but negativity to the list. Must have taken a while
to compile the apologies. What have you contributed to the
list that can be deemed the least bit noteworthy or positive
beside brash attempts at slamming other on the list? Nothing
that I've seen...

But then again I didn't search through 7 years of posts to
make my point either...

Regards,
Eric

Re: [meteorite-list] all you had to do was ask tom

2007-08-05 Thread Guy Heinen
1)A luxemburgish proverb to explain my feeling about Steve and some  
other members of the meteorite-list:


I'd prefer to eat Steve uncooked than some others cooked with a sauce!

2) Some list members waste lots of time to write diatribes against  
Steve. During this time, they would have been able to push several  
thousand times the 'delete'-button.


My two cents,

[meteorite-list] meteorite slices

2004-01-04 Thread Guy Heinen
Dear listies,

what do you think about meteorite slices showing still the marks of 
the saw blade, giving you even the opportunity to calculate the saw 
blade's diameter?
Alas, times of mirror-finished slices sold by dealers like David New 
seem to be gone.
A proposal to dealers:
Sell your slices or partslices
a-quality: polished surface
b-quality: sawed surface.
Most  meteorite collectors don't have grinding or polishing tools and 
are collecting meteorites also for the aesthetics of a 
mirror-finished surface showing fine details.
A partslice showing saw marks is something very ugly. Some collectors 
seem to sublimate this ugliness by the thrill to held something 
extraterrestrial in their hands and are not demanding for a quality 
finished surface.

My 2 (Euro)cents,

Guy Heinen

Hello Howard and list,

what is a hole? It is nothing with something around.

My 2 cents,

Has anybody been collecting or advising Chicagoans about the targets of the meteorite crash: collecting the broken glass from windows, saving the hole in roofs, etc.. I would love the hole if they have to replace that section of the roof.Though is should really be removed and put in a museum. Shades of Peekskil taillights.
