It was taken today at 5:20 am EDT by the Mercury Dual Imaging System as the spacecraft sailed high above Mercury's south pole, and provides a glimpse of portions of Mercury's surface not previously seen by spacecraft. The image was acquired as part of the orbital commissioning phase of the MESSENGER mission. Continuous global mapping of Mercury will begin on April 4. The entire MESSENGER team is thrilled that spacecraft and instrument checkout has been proceeding according to plan, says MESSENGER Principal Investigator Sean Solomon, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The first images from orbit and the first measurements from MESSENGER's other payload instruments are only the opening trickle of the flood of new information that we can expect over the coming year. The orbital exploration of the Solar System's innermost planet has begun. Several other images will be available Wednesday, March 30, in conjunction with a media teleconference at 2 p.m. EDT to discuss the initial orbital images taken from the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. Media teleconference participants are: -- Sean Solomon, MESSENGER principal investigator, Carnegie Institution of Washington -- Eric Finnegan, MESSENGER mission systems engineer, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel. Md. To participate in the teleconference, reporters must contact Dwayne Brown at dwayne.c.brown at nasa.gov or 202-358-1726 for dial-in instructions. During the teleconference, MESSENGER information and images will be available at http://www.nasa.gov/messenger and

It was classified by Tony Irving as a CK4 with a TKW of only (!) 53 grams. Those of you who have already seen the pictures David has taken of this carbonaceous beauty, can, without a doubt, confirm that this *is* a fresh CK4 (hence W0!) and its extremely low TKW certainly make it worth a closer look and a desirable addition to one's collection! Even though the online Meteoritical Bulletin says it is a CK5, it is actually a CK4 (Tony Irving, pers. comm. with David). This is your chance to acquire a stunningly fresh CK4 chondrite. Our young student from Saxony would certainly appreciate it! Of the twenty-nine CK4 chondrites from NWA hitherto listed in the Bulletin, none has been assigned a weathering degree of W0: W0 = none W0/1 = one W1 = four low = 2 -- Best pre-Xmas wishes, Bernd __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list -- Message: 2 Date: Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:33:24 -0800 From: Michael Blood mlbl...@cox.net Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Finds New Life Form To: jimsk...@aol.com, Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Message-ID: c9216f54.1482b%mlbl...@cox.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi Jim and all, Personally, I am weary of hearing about God is dead .and Atheists - not to mention figures from various religious Sects - they ALL seem to think of God as some anthropomorphic Male big know-it-all, vengeful, anti sex, homophobic HUMAN - not all that far removed from Greek mythological gods. I don't believe in the same God the atheists don't believe in. Ironically, they seem to be willing to throw out everything not of this Physical plane as well. Being anti religion does not require being anti Metaphysical. How it was that Christians (and I use the term VERY loosely) Decided that God and evolution are somehow magically incompatible Is beyond me as well.

Jerry -- From: MEM mstrema...@yahoo.com Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 1:28 PM To: Jerry Flaherty g...@comcast.net; Meteorite Mailing List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Mars Odyssey THEMIS Images: October 4-8, 2010 The term rift valley/rift is somewhat subjective as a rift proper is normally associated with plate movement but this example in not from the tectonic plate movement we are familiar with on earth. This valley resulted from a tectonic process. Specifically a branch of tectonic study called thrust/contraction tectonics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_tectonics The feature is a graben . A graben http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graben is type of fault feature where contraction( vs compression) pulls perpendicular to to the linear features and a block of landscape drops in relation to the surrounding. On each side of the graben will be steep sloped escarpments. A horst is the highland between two grabens that remained at the same elevation of may have been up-thrusted. In the example you posted the movement was a few inches/feet left and right of the escarpments( parallel lines) as well as a downward movement of the valley floor a distance I am unable to determine from the photo but could have been tens to hundreds of feet. This is not a slip strike fault where the opposite sides are displaced laterally. I've read recently about contraction of the lunar crust owing to overall cooling producing these features. On a lunar-wide basis when the formerly liquid mantle transitioned to a solid the sum total of all the nanometer sized compression of the space between molecules is seen on the surface as these grabens. The link above shows a substantial graben on the moon. To read about recent graben formation on earth you might google the 1811-1812 New Madrid Earthquare orhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone and the formation of the ReelFoot lake in western Tennessee. That area lies on a failed rift where North America almost split. I think the Reelfoot Lake basin came from a graben drop of only about 6 ft but left a lake of 30 square miles and about 3 ft /1meter deep.

Has anyone ever found meteor wrongs while treasurehunting at the beach or beachcombing? I've found several little iron slags which likely fell or broke off from ships and they become wave-tumbled and rounded. At first glance, they look like a small iron meteorite laying amongst the broken shells and bits thrown up on the shore. Some of them stick to a magnet and some don't. Some are heavy and obviously iron, while others are vesiculated and less dense. The lightweight vesiculated types don't stick to a magnet. My wife found something on Fort Desoto beach that looks like a teardrop-shaped indochinite. It's a dead ringer for one. I'll have to post a pic of it later. It is black, about 2 inches long, teardrop shaped, and it has faux flowlines on it leading away from the head and back towards the tail. But it's some kind of strange seed pod and not inorganic. I've also found a few small pebbles that have been wave tumbled and their coloration reminds me of a wind-polished stony chondrite with desert varnish. Of course, they don't stick to a magnet, and they are obviously terrestrial when examined with a loupe. One was so convincing that I windowed it just to be sure. I know my chances of finding a meteorite at the beach are not that good, but it's fun to see a meteorwrong while shelling. My mind is on shells, and I am looking for flashes of color or size profiles, and my eye will catch a meteorwrong instead.

They are not related to multiple impacts, in spite of some appearance of being strings of craters. They have been studied extensively over the years, with their nature not entirely resolved, but appear to be related in some way with the tidal environment of Phobos. If it were a fluid, it would simply come apart, since it is inside the classical Roche limit. However, even a rubble pile can persist there, held together only by the angle of repose limit of such material. When struck by an impact though, the vibration of the impact may allow material to slump, just as we sometimes see landslides triggered by earthquakes. This kind of slumping may result in crack or grooves running across the terrain. I co-authored a paper in Nature many years ago putting this hypothesis forward (Soter, S., Harris, A. 1977, Are striations on PHOBOS evidence for tidal stress? Nature 268, 421). This is not the last word on the matter (in fact, it was sort of the first word). There are a number of more recent publications on it.

There exists a category of bidders that do not bid their maximum and leave it at that, but like to continuously monitor the auction for the duration and outbid others when they lose highest bid. This sometimes reaches a frenzy of bid and counterbid in the last 30 minutes, and this behaviour seems more related to beating the competition than an incremental strategy that will cease as soon as they reach the maximum they have in mind. Here is somebody admitting this... http://ask.metafilter.com/47433/Psychology-of-Auctions So I don't really want to add to the liquidity in any auction with bidders like this that start out looking for a bargain and end up in a competitive fiscal pissing match. If I have a bid in well before auction end at my limit I risk provoking bidders like this to bid beyond what they originally had in mind as eBay will continuously outbid them to my maximum. If I snipe an auction with my maximum in the last 6 seconds I can rest assured that I haven't provoked any people to bid beyond their maximum and perhaps beyond mine.

Maybe someone can explain it to me. I bid for lots on ebay just like I do when I bid at a real auction. I set in my head what I believe the value of an item and what I have available in my budget to bid for that item. I then bid that much and no more. If I get the item, great. If not, someone wanted it more and we're willing to pay more for the item... While I will sometimes raise my ebay bid a little before the end of the auction, I really don't understand the idea of sitting there and in the last second or two, to try to jam in bids high enough to win the item. Do snipers really want the item or are they just trying to screw others out of the item? Are they just trying to get the item at a lower price, thinking that their competitors will just rebid again, upping the price? I see this on meteorite auctions every so often, but much more often on the Daguerreotypes I bid on. The reason I was reminded of it was a lot I just lost out on. There wasn't just one sniper, but two. The both bid at the exact same time, 2 seconds before the auction ended... As I said, it doesn't mater that I lost the lot. It went for more than I was willing to pay, so I wouldn't have rebid even if I could. Possibly someone can explain what is gained by bidding like this instead of just bidding what you think it's worth and letting it go for that... I'd really like to see ebay eliminate this foolery. It'd be pretty simple. Any bids that occur within one minute of the closing time of the auction automatically resets the end time by 10 minutes, or 30 minutes. The snipers games are eliminated and the dealers (and ebay) gets more profits because the auction remains open for the bidding to continue to higher levels. Just like in a real live auction.

The images show Mars' rocky moon in exquisite detail, with a resolution of just 4.4 metres per pixel. They show the proposed landing sites for the forthcoming Phobos-Grunt mission. (This article was originally posted on the ESA Space Science Portal http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMK17CKP6G_index_0.html.) ESA's Mars Express spacecraft orbits the Red Planet in a highly elliptical, polar orbit that brings it close to Phobos every five months. It is the only spacecraft currently in orbit around Mars whose orbit reaches far enough from the planet to provide a close-up view of Phobos. Like our Moon, Phobos always shows the same side to the planet, so it is only by flying outside the orbit that it becomes possible to observe the far side. Mars Express did just this on 7, 10 and 13 March 2010. Mars Express also collected data with other instruments. Phobos is an irregular body measuring some 27 x 22 x 19 km. Its origin is debated. It appears to share many surface characteristics with the class of 'carbonaceous C-type' asteroids, which suggests it might have been captured from this population. However, it is difficult to explain either the capture mechanism or the subsequent evolution of the orbit into the equatorial plane of Mars. An alternative hypothesis is that it formed around Mars, and is therefore a remnant from the planetary formation period. In 2011 Russia will send a mission called Phobos-Grunt (meaning Phobos Soil) to land on the martian moon, collect a soil sample and return it to Earth for analysis. For operational and landing safety reasons, the proposed landing sites were selected on the far side of Phobos within the area 5°S-5°N, 230-235°E. This region was imaged by the HRSC high-resolution camera of Mars Express during the July-August 2008 flybys of Phobos. But new HRSC images showing the vicinity of the landing area under different conditions, such as better illumination from the Sun, remain highly valuable for mission planners. It is expected that Earth-based ESA stations will take part in controlling Phobos-Grunt, receiving telemetry and making trajectory measurements, including implementation of very long-baseline interferometry (VLBI). This cooperation is realized on the basis of the agreement on collaboration of the Russian Federal Space Agency and ESA in the framework of the 'Phobos-Grunt' and 'ExoMars' projects. Mars Express will continue to encounter Phobos until the end of March, when the moon will pass out of range. During the remaining flybys, HRSC and other instruments will continue to collect data. *More information* Univ.-Prof. Dr. Gerhard Neukum Freie Universitaet Berlin Mobile: +49 171-7647177 Tel: +49 30 838 70579; +49 30 838 70575 Email: gneukumzedat.fu-berlin.de Prof. Dr. Ralf Jaumann German Aerospace Center Phone: +49 30 67055-400 Fax: +49 30 67055-402 Email: ralf.jaumanndlr.de Olivier Witasse, ESA Mars Express project scientist ESTEC, The Netherlands Email: owitasserssd.esa.int Updates as the flybys take place will be posted on the Mars Express blog (see link in right-hand menu). *Note to editors* The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) experiment on the ESA Mars Express mission is led by the Principal Investigator (PI) Prof. Dr. Gerhard Neukum, who also designed the camera.

Here's the setup: Shortly after the moon formed, it got whacked, big time. The result, an enormous crater called the South Pole-Aitken basin. It's almost 1,500 miles across and more than five miles deep. The impact punched into the layers of the lunar crust, scattering that material across the moon and into space. The tremendous heat of the impact also melted part of the floor of the crater, turning it into a sea of molten rock. Story continues below ?advertisement | your ad here This is the biggest, deepest crater on the moon - an abyss that could engulf the United States from the East Coast through Texas, exlained Noah Petro of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. But wait, there was more. Asteroid bombardment over billions of years has left the lunar surface pockmarked with craters of all sizes, and covered with solidified lava, rubble, and dust. Glimpses of the original surface, or crust, are rare, and views into the deep crust are rarer still. Now, scientists say a crater on the edge of the South Pole-Aitken basin may provide just such a view. Called the Apollo Basin and formed by the later impact of a smaller asteroid, it is about 300 miles across. It's like going into your basement and digging a deeper hole, Petro said. We believe the central part of the Apollo Basin may expose a portion of the moon's lower crust, he said. If correct, this may be one of just a few places on the moon where we have a view into the deep lunar crust, because it's not covered by volcanic material as many other such deep areas are. Just as geologists can reconstruct Earth's history by analyzing a cross-section of rock layers exposed by a canyon or a road cut, we can begin to understand the early lunar history by studying what's being revealed in Apollo. Petro presented his research Thursday at the Lunar and Planetary Science meeting in Houston. It was done using the moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), a NASA instrument on board India's Chandrayaan-1 lunar-orbiting spacecraft. Analysis of the light, or spectra, in images revealed that portions of the interior of Apollo have a similar composition to the impact melt in the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin. As you go deeper into the moon, the crust contains minerals have greater amounts of iron, the researchers explained in a statement. When the moon formed, it was largely molten. Minerals containing heavier elements, like iron, sank down toward the core, and minerals with lighter elements, like silicon, potassium, and sodium, floated to the top, forming the original lunar crust. The asteroid that created the SPA basin probably carved through the crust and perhaps into the upper mantle, Petro said. The impact melt that solidified to form the central floor of SPA would have been a mixture of all those layers. We expect to see that it has slightly more iron than the bottom of Apollo, since it went deeper into the crust. This is what we found with M3. However, we also see that this area in Apollo has more iron than the surrounding lunar highlands, indicating Apollo has uncovered a layer of the lunar crust between what is typically seen on the surface and that in the deepest craters like SPA. The lower crust exposed by Apollo survived the impact that created SPA probably because it was on the edge of SPA, several hundred miles from where the impact occurred, according to Petro. Both SPA and Apollo are estimated to be among the oldest lunar craters, based on the large number of smaller craters superimposed on top of them. As time passes, old craters get covered up with new ones, so a crater count provides a relative age; a crater riddled with additional craters is older than one that appears relatively clean, with few craters overlying it. As craters form, they break up the crust and form a regolith, a layer of broken up rock and dust, like a soil on the Earth. Although the Apollo basin is ancient and covered with regolith (what we call dirt on Earth), it still gives a useful view of the lower crust because the smaller meteorite impacts that create most of the regolith don't scatter material very far. Calculations of how the regolith forms indicate that at least 50 percent of the regolith is locally derived, said Petro. So although what

Alexander Seidel and List, Alexander asked that I share with him and the List the personal experience of having my first find be such a remarkable specimen. I am told by those who should know that this chondrite is the largest intact specimen so far found in Nevada. I would ask the List if this is so. Here's an account for those who wish to read about a newbie finding his first metorite. I began to study meteorites about a year ago as a diversion to take my mind off the two years of radiation and chemo treatments I had been undergoing for stage IV metastized cancer. I had responded well for a 72 year old and was in remission. I needed some new pursuit to get my mental and physical health back. Little did I know that I was about to catch another disease..and this one incurable...the obsession with meteorites. After purchasing some sixty different types and classifications, a stereo scope and a cabinet for comparison purposes ...and reading numerous posts on List and dozens of papers, attending Tucson... putting faces on all whom I had met online... I decided I was ready to go into the field. I was fortunate to have made acquaintance with Sonny Clary who lives nearby. He had become my mentor, given me samples and shown me some pointers on hunting by taking me on a short local trip to look at an area of interest. We spent maybe two hours in the field. Sonny moves quickly, his acute vision and experience letting him cover a lot of ground in very little time. I found I was more comfortable going my own way and not slowing him up. Neither he, nor I, found anything. I have four grandsons and I spent a few hours in some vacant fields in Las Vegas throwing down weathered samples and demonstrating to them the use of the cane and detector. Ten year old , Vincent, was fascinated. The others non-plussed. Night before last, May 2nd., Sonny called late and invited me to spend my first full day hunting an area he felt was promising several hours away. We met at his home and loaded up the gear, food and water. Brix, his super Alsatian, whined excitedly knowing we were going on a hunt. Sonny has trained Brix to the point that the dog will bring him rocks in the field. No meteorites yet...but it will happen. We arrived in the desert around nine o'clock. The temperature was a pleasant 67 degrees under clear skies and no wind. We saddled up and agreed as to which way each of us would go. Sonny took off to the left and I to the right. Within minutes we were out of sight of each other. We did have a means of communicating electronically in the event of an emergency. Both of us are Nevadans and have spent years in the desert hunting game, Sonny meteorites and in my case, before it became illegal, early man artifacts. After several hours with no luck, we met back at the truck and traveled two miles north on the valley floor. After another hour or two of nothing but meteor wrongs picked up from the desert pavement, Sonny decided to expand our search area again several miles west. This time we were on excellent ground. Flat, with very little organic growth and hardly any rocks at all. If they were here, the meteorites would stand out prominently. Again, Sonny strode off northwest with Brix roaming in front of him. Brix has received snake avoidance training and a good thing, because the rattlers, including the feared Mohave Green, are coming out of their dens this time of year to warm themselves, and shed their winter skin, making them ill tempered and aggressive. Sonny hunted with no assistance from cane, or detector. I used my staff with a circular neodymium magnet screwed on the end. I followed Sonny to the west, deciding to make the first leg of my search into the reduced visibility of the sun, so I could make the other two half mile legs with the sun at my side and rear to highlight the ground and prevent squinting. I have special tinted prescription glasses that provide some UV protection, reduce eye strain and sharpen the field of view. Sonny and Brix were quickly out of sight. About an hour and a half into things and while walking forward a few paces at a 45 degree angle to the left and then to the right, my scan picked up an irregular shape 50' to my right. It was so out of place as to shape and color that I knew immediately it was a possible. I turned and walked toward it. As I got within a few yards I could see that it had the familiar dark desert patination that I had studied on my Gold Basin samples. It was a three inch high tip sticking out of the ground like a triangular iceberg. I started to laugh out loud

Re: [meteorite-list] An offer for meteorite microimaging to dealers (Nothin section required)
DOUBLE WOW Tom, I never thought you'd be able to top your thin section collection but I'm wrong again Jerry -- From: starsandsco...@aol.com Sent: Saturday, January 16, 2010 4:56 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] An offer for meteorite microimaging to dealers (Nothin section required) Hi list, For the last couple years I have been working nearly exclusively on thin sections in cross polarized light. This was due, only partly, to my failure to come up with a satisfactory digital photo adapter on my Neophot but most significantly to Jeff Hodges fantastic thin section library. He has very generously loaned me thin sections for years. I am now back on track with the Neophot (It is a large incident (reflected) light inverted microscope). In fact, I just purchased another one. It has on it some very special parts such as a polarized light illuminator with a sub parallel compensator, Bertrand lens and micro polarizing adjustments. I have looked for years for these parts. They had seemed to be made out of pure unobtaineum. For an example of the type of images I will be producing please look at my latest post to my micrograph gallery on JaH 073. Unlike cross polarized transmitted light thin section images, these images are true color. As I like to say Just what it looks like way up close. http://www.meteorite.com/meteorite-gallery/articles/jah_073/ Please keep in mind, I am not vested in my JaH 073 observations. They are just a guess. I am open to other interpretations of the images. It is mostly just me having fun with micrographs. I am looking for interesting classified material to image. (I have boxes of unclassified NWA so I don't need that kind of stuff) I do not need a thin section but a sample of roughly 1 gram or larger that I am free to polish. I finish with a 1/4 micron diamond slurry to get clear shots at magnifications up to 1600 X. I don't want to do any cutting. Things happen when cutting. Things like falling apart material and unaccounted for missing crumbs! I am just not set up for that. I will safely return the sample with a CD of images that you and I are free to use. You can use the images to promote your material, heck, you can make Tee shirts and calendars if you like. In fact, I want you to use them!!! All I ask is that my name is attached to all products or postings, and that I am free to use or pass along the images as well. The operative word is return, so I am looking for the GOOD STUFF. I am shooting at a resolution of 12 mp so they should be up to any application you might have in mind. Ideally, I would also like to partner in an article where I provide the images and you do the rest! Basically, you write an article and I will give you some additional images to add to the mix. Even if we produce an article and it is not placed you could use it in your promotion of the material for sale and I will post it to my gallery. Please email me with any ideas.

I am very shocked and sad, because Christian was not only a collector but a friend. Everybody know how much fun we had when we were togheter. We had also other private contact and were real friends. At first he told me that he cannot come to the Munich show, because he had so many private problems in his mind. Then he called me thursday evening when I was in Munich that he decided to come. So he was with us friday evening at the Fliegerbräu and stayed in Munich till sunday afternoon. He helped me to bring some of my material back into the car sunday afternoon. This was the last time I saw him. True friendship never ends..

Re: [meteorite-list] Engineering Christmas

We ought to form a committee! -- From: Dark Matter freequa...@gmail.com Sent: Saturday, December 19, 2009 7:27 PM To: Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Engineering Christmas Hi All, Once again, it seems it has befallen upon me uphold the job of official Santa Physics story reposter. So, in the true spirit of the season, here it is yet again. And as always, I have not checked the math. Enjoy. Martin Engineering Christmas: Some points of contention. There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each dwelling. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west which seems logical. This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has about 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purpose of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or other breaks. This requires that Santa's sleigh moves at 650 miles per second--3000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and conventional reindeer can run at best 30 miles per hour. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500,000 tons, not counting Santa himself. On land a conventional reindeer can pull about 300 pounds. Even granting that the flying reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job just cannot be done with eight or nine of them-- Santa would need 360,000 reindeer! This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). 4.600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance-- this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere (which may explain Rudolph's red nose). The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second. In short, they would instantaneously vaporize exposing the reindeer behind them to the same friction and also creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would vanish within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 miles per second in .001 seconds, would be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17,500 Gs. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering red-hot blob of goo.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD - Meteorite Pendant Neckless ( Christmas Gift )
Dawn, my wife, opened Tim's Meteorite Pendant Necklace today, on her 50th birthday. I watched her eyes which opened wide and sparkled as she revealed the contents of the package. She rushed to a mirror to don it and extolled the ingenious magnetic fastening system which adapts the the wearer's pleasure. I don't know which one of us enjoyed the event more, her the recipient or me the spectator. Thank you Tim for the treasure that only a shooting star, in this case from The Field of Heaven can provide. It's not the first meteorite jewelry she's enjoyed but it most certainly is the finest fashioned.

Going back to the camp I found at sunset -due to low angle light- something strange on the flat desert surface. I found a perfect circular crater with melt sand scattered around . sand grains are melt and embedding larger quartz grains. In my opinion that's a impact crater and sand is melt because of the heat wave. Larger grains had no time to melt . That melt rock has a black matrix-nothing like that in the area, also there are no similar structures in that flat, flat flat desrt surface, sand is only silica and quartz grain and no dark matrix can be seen for kilometers. I made a few geophysics on the spot and found big electric anomalies and very anomalous readings of Geoelectric values. I took a few samples of melt rock -very heavy really. I am posting a few photos of the crater. I have another stone found at 2500 m on the bed of a melt glacier, same story, that's not a stone of the area, it is like a fuse, heavy and black inside with a very aerodynamic shape, I will mail you a photo ( after reading once more your recommendations) if interested . for sure not a human artifact or an original stone of the area. Sorry to disturb, ... = I put the photos here: http://meteorites.wustl.edu/meteorwrongs/libyan_crater.htm The round thing in the desert looks something like a crater. Maybe it's a bomb crater. Maybe it's a meteorite impact crater. The rock doesn't look like samples of Libyan desert glass that I've seen. I don't know the LDG story well.

If you'd like to learn to etch meteorites If you'd like to learn how to track and find new meteorite falls If you'd like to learn how to get others help then do the following: Help others in turn! Offer to help when it's not expected! Give! Do your own research! Get out there and hunt! Get out there and make your own contacts. Don't expect people just to jump in and be happy to help you. Stop whining. Work your ass off! Put in the hours! Have something to contribute! Earn it! And most of all, don't make the mistake of thinking this business is dog-eat-dog. It's like ANY industry or social group and is what you make it. If you look at is in a certain light, that is what you will see.

Show respect and have admiration for those who go out and spend the countless hours and thousands of dollars researching the meteorites they love so much...

This of course would be for the furtherance of the science and hobby of meteoritics, meteorite collecting, meteorite hunting, and the meteorite industry as a whole. A website that would provide an active and evolving database of encyclopedic meteorite knowledge and information for the hobbiest, scientist and even more so for the curious, as they are the new meteorite enthusiasts and possible future meteoriticists. As the world learns more about meteorites, asteroids, comets, and the universe in relation to meteorites what better way to grow this knowledge base than through the first and only meteorite related wiki. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a wiki is, it's an online collaborative effort to compile information in a community type environment. Introducing The Meteorite Wiki: www.meteoritewiki.com The Meteorite Wiki runs on the same software that runs the world famous and beloved Wikipedia.org website, and is robust and feature rich enough to provide the perfect venue to compile the worlds meteorite information into one easy and convenient online database. Mission Statement: To compile knowledge and share the enjoyment of meteorite science hobby through an open community wiki in which everyone interested can participate contribute to the growth of the knowledge of meteorites.

If you belong to a university or educational institution we would love to have you contibute your articles, papers, photos, video or other media to the inclusion in the Meteorite Wiki. We have also reserved the most important website domain name as well for the expansion of the Meteorite Wiki experiment, meteoritewiki.org.

Advertising is a privilege, not a right and Art was considering having no ads at all due to abuse. The consensus, at the time, was that way too many ads were being posted and that one-ad-per-week should be a rule. List members input was taken into account so this was not only Art's wishes but the majority of other members as well. SNIP This is flat out wrong. There never was any consensus. Art went on record as saying that he did not mind ads. What happened was that 4 or 5 people decided that they would hijack Art's list as if it was their own and decide to prevent people from making to many (Whatever that means) ads. After months and months of bombarding the list with anti ad attack postings Art basically tried to shut up the malcontents that dont appriciate the fact that they have the privelidge being a part of what is basically the best online meteorite forum and said OK, one a week. Then, rather than shut up, these 4 or 5 people decide to declare themselves sherrif and kept going on with this anti ad campaign and even the most minor offence (Even during big shows like tucson and munich) was enough to make attack postings. They decided to continue making an ass of themselves and continue their efforts to hijack arts list as if it was their own. Then after people started leaving the list because of all these attack postings they had the gall to claim that They left because of the ads. (The fact that people werent leaving before their hijacking and attacking efforts is conveniently ignored). Nobody leaves this list because of the ads (Well there may have been 2 or 3 people who left because they are to stupid to use the delete button or block sender button in their email settings and dislaike the fact that people are allowed to own meteorites like the cultural property people in some governments but its an insignificant few). People leave because of the bickering. Dont try and twist it around that its not because of those 4 or 5 people that is basically ruining things for everybody. Becides why are you 4 or 5 people constantly harrassing the other 1000 of us with your diatrabes? An iq of about six would enable you to understand that the only person who matters is art so why dont you email him rather than the rest of us who cant do anything even if we did buy the fact that you somehow have the right to unilaterally declare yourselves sherrif even though you have no ownership or control of this list? The answer of course is that Art has the smarts to ignore the whackos. Nobody is forcing anybody to be a part of this list. You dont even need arts permission to leave. You can do it yourself. Stop this assanine BS and let us talk meteorites and have sales. If you have a problem dont complain to the other 1000 of us. And the Majority consensus that you refer to is about the same as what the Majority consensus of an iranian election would be. It is flat out not the will of the majority of list members or the list owner but the will of 4 or 5 people who wants to run the list as they see fit (Like the aftermat of an Iranian election).

I just want to let everyone know of a dealer going above and beyond, WAY above, and offer some praise here instead of complaint. I ordered a small slice of Gujba, just a couple of grams, for my type set from Eric Twelker a short while ago. When it hadn't arrived, I inquired if it had been sent and when, just to make sure it hadn't gotten lost in the mail. He responded quickly that he was away but would check on it as soon as he returned home. Finding he had made a mistake, he apologized that he hadn't yet sent it and said it'd be on its way that day. That was on Saturday. I just went out to the mailbox to find my slice already delivered with $21+ postage on the envelope! I'm still shocked. Totally unexpected and in my case, unnecessary. He could have sent it via normal 1st class mail and I would have been happy with that, but he made the extra effort and loss of profit to make a very small mistake in mind very much more than right.

Grondine epgrond...@yahoo.com; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Idle speculation on panspermia I agree, at least in part. Panspermia may not be the motivation to explore Europa and in truth, a decent sub-surface examination of that world will require a far greater commitment than $4Bn. The NEO programme needs a far greater commitment, as does any programme to counter such a threat that an NEO amy pose. I suppose it's all a question of budget. I am angry at the money put in to shoring up the banks that have put our economy on the verge of collapse, particularly since they seem unrepentant and want to use the money we have gifted them to return to earning more of the fat earnings they got before the collapse. The thought that the Constellation programme risks being shelved because of the recent problems is abhorent. And in the UK we look at a terrible situation for much of our future at the mercy of commerce. As a child, I'd hoped that mankind would begin colonising the Solar System. Thanks to recent events, I look like having ALL my dreams for the future of humanity crushed. Not just for my lifetime but for the 2-3 generations to follow me. All because of the greed of a handful of people who don't realise that a single rock from space could wipe out everything they or their progeny could have.
