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

[John Cabassi via Meteorite-list]

My heart is broken. Dave was a man of integrity and for whom I have
great respect.
He has supported me in many ways. I've shared a beer and I've shared
some tears with him. He stands as an icon in the meteorite community
and a great family man.

Both Kat and I send our love and prayers to the Gheesling family,
especially Maddie and Kasia.

Dave was a truly genuine person and I am so grateful to have been his
friend and a part of his life. Rest in Peace my friend

Re: [meteorite-list] Admire spherules

[John Cabassi via Meteorite-list]

Interesting. Do you remember this Elton Jones? I sent you a box of
samples with similar spherules from Chesapeake many, many moons ago
and you were waiting for time on the SEM. Still curious. I gave you
all of my samples hoping on a response?

Yes Ruben, it was a bonus for those that wanted to research it. I had
at least 90% which was obvious but Big John decided to blow it but

Re: [meteorite-list] acid for pallasite

[John Cabassi via Meteorite-list]

Francesco and All,
I understand where you're coming from. You have a pallasite slice/end
cut that apparently was not cut properly. By that I mean, the final
prep work so you have some moisture trapped inside the item which has
led to rust developing between the iron/nickel and the
olivine/peridot.  The olivine/peridot has popped out but because it
has accumulated rust residue, it won't go back where it came from.  I
suggest drying it out manually cleaning up the rust on the surface of
the olivine/peridot as well as cleaning up the actual socket (I
haven't used that one in a long time) that the olivine/peridot has
fallen out of.

I would not go to the point of acid. I would put on some glasses with
magnification, spend a little time slowly cleaning up both surfaces
and proceed with putting the jigsaw back together

Cheers
John

She set a target and accomplished it. The meteorite community welcomed

 NASA: There is No Asteroid Threatening Earth
 Jet Propulsion Laboratory
 August 19, 2015

 Numerous recent blogs and web postings are erroneously claiming that an
 asteroid will impact Earth, sometime between Sept. 15 and 28, 2015. On
 one of those dates, as rumors go, there will be an impact -- evidently
 near Puerto Rico -- causing wanton destruction to the Atlantic and Gulf
 coasts of the United States and Mexico, as well as Central and South America.

 That's the rumor that has gone viral -- now here are the facts.

 There is no scientific basis -- not one shred of evidence -- that an
 asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates,
 said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object office at the Jet
 Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

 In fact, NASA's Near-Earth Object Observations Program says there have
 been no asteroids or comets observed that would impact Earth anytime in
 the foreseeable future. All known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids have
 less than a 0.01% chance of impacting Earth in the next 100 years.

 The Near-Earth Object office at JPL is a key group involved with the 
 international
 collaboration of astronomers and scientists who keep watch on the sky
 with their telescopes, looking for asteroids that could do harm to our
 planet and predicting their paths through space for the foreseeable future.
 If there were any observations on anything headed our way, Chodas and
 his colleagues would know about it.

 If there were any object large enough to do that type of destruction
 in September, we would have seen something of it by now, he stated.

 Another thing Chodas and his team do know -- this isn't the first time
 a wild, unsubstantiated claim of a celestial object about to impact Earth
 has been made, and unfortunately, it probably won't be the last. It seems
 to be a perennial favorite of the World Wide Web.

 In 2011 there were rumors about the so-called doomsday comet Elenin,
 which never posed any danger of harming Earth and broke up into a stream
 of small debris out in space. Then there were Internet assertions surrounding
 the end of the Mayan calendar on Dec. 21, 2012, insisting the world would
 end with a large asteroid impact. And just this year, asteroids 2004 BL86
 and 2014 YB35 were said to be on dangerous near-Earth trajectories, but
 their flybys of our planet in January and March went without incident
 -- just as NASA said they would.

 Again, there is no existing evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial
 object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth, said Chodas. In fact,
 not a single one of the known objects has any credible  chance of hitting
 our planet over the next century.

 NASA detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets passing 30
 million miles of Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes.
 The Near-Earth Object Observations Program, commonly called Spaceguard,
 discovers these objects, characterizes the physical nature of a subset
 of them, and predicts their paths to determine if any could be potentially
 hazardous to our planet. There are no known credible impact threats to
 date -- only the continuous and harmless infall of meteoroids, tiny asteroids
 that burn up in the atmosphere.

 JPL hosts the office for Near-Earth Object orbit analysis for NASA's Near
 Earth Object Observations Program of the Science Mission Directorate in
 Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology
 in Pasadena.

 A quick update before I go to sleep, but our first day in the field
 was a resounding success!  We made it out to the playa a few hours
 later than initially planned, but we managed to get in 4 hours of

 Marissa: 2 - Her first find came less than half an hour into the hunt!
 Debbie (aide): 2
 Rogan: 2
 Mike: 3

 Have an early start for day 2 tomorrow, more details and pictures to follow!

 Hello, List!

 I am happy to provide you all with this final update for Marissa's
 meteorite hunt.  The next report will be pictures from the field!  In
 one week Marissa will board a plane and begin her trip of a lifetime.
 She has finished her semester at school (passed all her classes!) and
 is getting all her gear together that has been purchased.  All travel
 and lodging requirements have been taken care of, including trip
 insurance for Marissa should anything come up at the last minute.  She
 has shared photos of her hunting gear on Club Space Rock, please click
 the link the check it out:

 In addition to her powered wheel chair we have purchased a manual
 bubble chair that is designed to be used on sand.  If her powered
 chair gets bogged down during the hunt we can switch to the back-up
 which will be carried into the field on the roof rack of my 4x4.  This
 chair is being shipped directly to the town in Nevada where we are
 staying.

 If any of you use twitter please be sure to follow her meteorite hunt
 account, https://twitter.com/mfanady.  I will attempt to live tweet
 from the field (reception permitting), but at the very least we will
 send out some tweets each night when we return to the hotel.

 Thank you all again for your support, and here's to a successful hunt!

 Michael in so. Cal.

 Hello dear friends and meteorite enthusiasts,

 we like to let you know that we have redesigned and modernized our website
 www.rocksonfire.com

 It is meant to do the surfing and purchasing easier and will also calculate
 the appropriate postage at check-out and also has a straight currency change
 button for US Dollars and Aussie Dollars for your convenience.
 We hope that this new site will be an improvement. However, we are aware
 that it will need a bit of time to clean out little hick-ups and to bring
 the site to a compatible state.
 At this stage most of the content is copy-pasted from the old to the new
 site, and quite a few items still need to be transferred and new stock
 listed. So, please be patient with us.

 We invite you to have a browse. Your critical comments will be highly
 appreciated.

 Thanks for taking your time to have a look, and be assured that we are
 determined to do our best to satisfy your expectations as we have tried this
 for the last thirteen plus years.

 Hello List,

 As you may have heard, there has been a major development concerning
 the Gold Basin strewn field. Of course, it's possible this is not GB
 but the evidence looks very promising.

 Three years ago Joe Franske ventured to the north side of Lake Meade in
 search of the big end of Gold Basin. According to Joe, it took him 6
 tries to get to the right location, but once he did, it took him only 3
 hours to find a meteorite. This is a monumental feat to say the least.
 He brought me in on the project last March and I take no credit for
 this discovery. Sure, we all had an idea that the strewn field crossed
 the lake, we all drew lines, but only one guy had the steel to go get
 it done. Hats off to Joe.

 Joe and I have decided we are pretty much done out there for now. We
 documented well over 100 pounds, most of which was found on the
 south side of Jumbo Peak. Last week I extended the field another 5.75
 miles with 2 finds on the north side of Jumbo, including
 a 34 pound stone that was broken into many pieces. We decided to give you
 guys
 some details regarding the find
 locations, hence this message, but in return we would like to know
 about
 any finds you make so that we may continue documenting the strewn
 field. Jim Kreigh, John Blennert and Twink Monrad did a fantastic job
 documenting in the past and we would like to do the same. I know there
 are some hunters out there that will not share and so be it, but most
 of us are
 good people and I would expect some cooperation for the good of the
 larger picture. Please send your reports to me so that I can share them
 with the scientist involved with our work.

 Joe found the first stone on the south side of Jumbo Peak and that is
 where the majority of the finds were made. The area is only about a
 mile wide and I highly doubt that defines the outer limits of the
 field, however, to go farther east or west is difficult due to terrain.
 Go onto Google earth and you will see the valley just south of the peak, and
 north of the park boundary,
 this is where you start.

 On the north side of Jumbo Peak you will find most of the area too soft
 for meteorite recovery. Decomposing granite has likely buried the
 stones too deep for detection. In my mind it's a small miracle that I
 found the 2 stones on that side. To put the difficulty into
 perspective, we spent 36 man days to locate the 2 stones and out of
 four hunters I was the only one to score. That place will hand your
 butt
 to you on a platter, as they say.

 As a side note;
 If you decide to give this place a try there are some things to
 consider. To get to the south side of Jumbo you will need a 4 wheel
 drive and it takes about 3.5 - 4 hours once you leave Mesquite. There
 is no phone service and the road out wants to eat your truck! If you
 go, plan to stay for several days at least, it's a lot of work and
 expense just for a day or two.

 If you have any specific questions feel free to email me.

 Good luck and fair sailing to all who go!




 Here's the low down on the science so far.

 I submitted samples from my 16+ lb. stone (found March, 2014) to UCLA
 this past summer.
 It did come back L6 as can be seen below. Dr. Kring wants to do
 more work including cosmogenics and such, on several different samples
 to help come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is indeed Gold
 Basin .

 When asked how I know it's GB I say that the classification is
 consistent, they look the same in hand, on the exterior and the
 interior, and they are in line with the logical progression of the
 known field. Sure, it could be something different, but simply put,
 the easiest, most obvious and logical answer is usually the right
 answer. I'd be very, very surprised if it was something else.

Congratulations. I first heard of this at the Tucson show at the
Meteorite Mayhem Bash. I was sitting next to Karen Ziegler chatting
when the announcement was made. I was totally excited and
congratulations also on the Harvey Award

 Hello List,

 As you may have heard, there has been a major development concerning
 the Gold Basin strewn field. Of course, it's possible this is not GB
 but the evidence looks very promising.

 Three years ago Joe Franske ventured to the north side of Lake Meade in
 search of the big end of Gold Basin. According to Joe, it took him 6
 tries to get to the right location, but once he did, it took him only 3
 hours to find a meteorite. This is a monumental feat to say the least.
 He brought me in on the project last March and I take no credit for
 this discovery. Sure, we all had an idea that the strewn field crossed
 the lake, we all drew lines, but only one guy had the steel to go get
 it done. Hats off to Joe.

 Joe and I have decided we are pretty much done out there for now. We
 documented well over 100 pounds, most of which was found on the
 south side of Jumbo Peak. Last week I extended the field another 5.75
 miles with 2 finds on the north side of Jumbo, including
 a 34 pound stone that was broken into many pieces. We decided to give you
 guys
 some details regarding the find
 locations, hence this message, but in return we would like to know
 about
 any finds you make so that we may continue documenting the strewn
 field. Jim Kreigh, John Blennert and Twink Monrad did a fantastic job
 documenting in the past and we would like to do the same. I know there
 are some hunters out there that will not share and so be it, but most
 of us are
 good people and I would expect some cooperation for the good of the
 larger picture. Please send your reports to me so that I can share them
 with the scientist involved with our work.

 Well, don't tease us, you tell us!  LOL.  ;)

 Let me hazard some wild guesses.  I will disclose that I know jack
 about Gold Basin except what the typical collector knows.  I haven't
 read anything recently.

 Is it?

 Somebody found tektites associated with the area?

 New overlapping strewnfield find?

 New rules from BLM or state about hunting that area?

 A crazy local homeless person stumbled across the a lunar in the
 strewnfield?

 All sales of Gold Basin are hereby suspended until these questions are
 answered in an authoritative manner.

[John Cabassi via Meteorite-list]

G'Day All
I think the bottom line is, it's illegal. I have watched introduced
plant, animal, etc..  into Australia.  Even though your request seems
genuine, the law is the law.

As for other comments on California, I think every state has a problem
in some way or another.  As for here, gas prices are high, taxes are
high, freeways are congested and yes Michael F. it's a free for all on
the freeways.

What I'd like to see is the bullshit about dredging for gold in
California shoved up some political hierarchy's arse. Dredging is good
for the environment, the fish love it. You stir up all that good food.
But try to tell that to the politicians.  That's all I've got to say
on this post.

Re: [meteorite-list] Not met. Related - Friend On Meteorite List

[John Cabassi via Meteorite-list]

I've been trying to get hold of a small portion of Broken Hill but it
can only be sold within Australia. Things were great before, but not
now. Can I have a piece sent to my mum and have her package it up and
send it out of Australia? Just curious.  I think not.  I would then
cause problems for my mother. But then again with Victoria, it's not a
problem, all the states in Australia have different rules. Damn, I
could turn around and declare my property here in Southern California
as Australian property.. an embassy so I can call diplomatic immunity.

But I think the bottom line is, you're crossing the line and asking
for some idiot to cause you trouble.  Just my thoughts.

[meteorite-list] [OT] In Memory

[John Cabassi via Meteorite-list]

G'Day List

I met this really nice guy on SkyRock Cafe and for some unknown
reason, he really had an impact.  He was also a contributor on the Met
List as well as my own forum. Over time, we became the best of
friends, not only with him but also with his family.  I felt sorry
that he didn't have a detector and as I had a spare one, I sent one to
him. And it became a joke with us because the cost for shipping was
more than the value of the detector.  Over the years, 2e exchanged
little trinkets, mainly for our wives, but meteorites were our
passion.

We communicated on a constant basis but then I lost contact with him.
I knew that the situation was getting a little rough in Venezuela.
But I always remember his words, Be Happy

I woke up this morning to an email from his wife, Mimi And this is
with a heavy heart, informing me that she had been trying to track me
down to let me know that Gian Gallo (Larense) had passed away.

Farewell my friend. You will be missed but not forgotten. The stars
are now your canvas. Have fun. Meteorites were your passion as well as
astronomy, being a veterinarian and your love for life big and small.

Sincerely,
John L. Cabassi

 He's completely sedated and on a breathing machine. I was told that

 as to what has happened. Something is causing fluid build up in his

 The only downside from this fix is that if you click Reply or Reply All

That's a difficult question and I think you need to contact Eric Snowden ;-)

 Thank you, this is helpful.

 Now for another question:
 Is the owner of a page, NASA in that particular case, able to clean up, so
 to speak, his page, and delete anything he/she does not want associated with
 him/her?

 For instance, if I had a Facebook page I would not want to see posts by some
 of our most famous crack-pots tacked on it. Could I erase them and still
 have a public page?  I suppose my question boils down to: How much control
 does one have over a Facebook page?

 Hi Anne and List,

 Any Facebook page (personal or institutional) that is set on public
 is visible to the entire world (including most search engines).
 Anyone can view a public FB page, whether that person is a FB member
 or not.  However, if a privacy settings of that page are set to
 friends only, then only a FB member who is also a friend can see
 that page or photo.

 That is why NASA's page is visible to anyone, member or not.

 Ruben's photos were likely set to friends only and therefore you
 would need to be both a FB member and on Ruben's approved list of
 friends.  Such links will appear broken or blocked if clicked by a
 non-member.

 Anne, you can filter out the trash by looking for a link near the top
 of the postings section on the NASA page (or any institutional page).
 You will see a little drop-down link with the options of see posts by
 page and see posts by everyone (exact syntax may vary slightly).
 Click on see posts by page and you will see the official posts by
 page administrators.  Otherwise, you see posts by every Tom, Dick, and
 Harry - which greatly increases the noise to signal ratio.

 Best regards,

 MikeG

 I cannot see Ruben's page either. And here is what I don't understand:

 A few weeks ago someone posted a link to NASA's Facebook page, I was
 glad of that because I could finally look at a professionally done and
 monitored page and see what Facebook could really be like when well
 done. Well, I looked at NASA's page at length, and I was very
 disappointed by the amount of garbage posted there (idiotic comments,
 crazy theories, and more), but at least I could read it. And I can

 also

 read Meteorite-Exchange's page (much cleaner, how do you do that

 Paul?).

Well said Jim and I'll give you a like.  Traditions are changing. I
was very adamant at first and held back from social media but it was

 Hi all!

 I have posted specific and not so specific meteorite related questions here
 where Melinda Hutson, Alan Rubin

 absolutely appreciate this.
 I do this because I do have questions and I want good answers, which I
 receive here.
 I have received private emails complementing this effort to involve listees
 in my search for better understanding.

 So if you are a complainer, suck it up and quit your belly aching and get
 over it.

 You are either part of the solution or part of the problem.

 I do admit, FB is great for sharing my Meteorite related stuff. My page is
 mostly about meteorite stuff
 which I am actively and constantly involved with.  And, there is not one
 single Ad on there for meteorites!
 Many of you are there and I appreciate that and hope you enjoy my sharing.
 That said, many or most all of the meteorite related lists have died out and
 nothing much is being posted...so it
 is not just this list.

 I completely disagree that any list should direct what topic is to be
 discussed for any given time as someone
 suggested.

 So I switch you back to your normally scheduled activities and I will go
 back to watching epoxy mounts of green
 beach sand and NWA 7831/Kilbourne hole green stuff cure thanks to Gary and
 Greg!

 Best to all!

 Dear all -

 I am writing to tell you about an exciting new free app.

  It allows anyone to report a fireball sighting anywhere in the world.   The 
 app is available for both iOS 
 (https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/fireballs-in-the-sky/id709019924?mt=8) and 
 Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tw.fireballs) 
 phones and has a very easy interface.  Basically you point at the sky where 
 you think the fireball started and click on your phone, and do the same for 
 where you think you saw the fireball disappear.  You can then input all kinds 
 of other attributes of the fireball.   If enough sightings of a single 
 fireball exist, it will indicate that it was the real thing.   Data from a 
 lot of areas will be collated to form a database of fireball trajectory data, 
 thus allowing more orbits of extraterrestrial material to be resolved.

 This project is funded by the Australian Research Council and is called the 
 Desert Fireball Network. Information about the project can be found at: 
 http://www.fireballsinthesky.com.au/

 We would be very happy to receive comments, suggestions and feedback.

 Thanks very much.

 Dear all,

 An updated and final version of the Chelyabinsk strewnfield map and trajectory
 ground projection is now available at:

 http://www.meteorite-recon.com/img_inventar/Chelyabinsk_strewnfield_map_7500.jpg

 For background information see:

 http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/Meteorite_Chelyabinsk_6.html

 In March our calculations gave a window of 200 – 800 kg for the Lake Chebarkul
 fragment. Our scenario and the resulting map used a conservative value of 300 
 kg
 for this mass. Now, after its successful recovery, the determination of its
 approximate mass (~ 600 kg) enabled us to narrow a few parameters of the
 trajectory and dark flight. The resulting minor changes in the final map are
 listed below:

 - The transverse displacement of the calculated wind shift discounted
 impact point for the lake mass is reduced from 1.100 m to 950 m.
 - As a result, the trajectory is slightly displaced to the south, albeit
 with the map scale used, the change is of no consequence for the depiction
 - Impact velocity for the lake mass is ~ 550 km/h instead of ~ 500 km/h
 - The altitude at which the transition into dark flight occurred is ~ 14
 km instead of 14.7 km

 In addition to these changes, within the last two months a total of 34 masses
 with documented find locations were submitted and successively added to the 
 map.
 These recently discovered masses range from 0.5 g to 1,440 g. The final 
 version
 of the strewnfield map now shows 285 find locations of Chelyabinsk meteorites,
 of which 228 were submitted with their respective weights.

 Hello,

(France, about 20km of Paris), fell 13 jully 2011 ! All come with a
fragment of the tile this hammer stone broked :

 These 16 complete slices and the endcut have been profesionaly sliced
by Montana Lab Meteorite, with a wire saw (alcohol cutting to avoid
rust), and polished.


 They come from the very first 205g specimen of this famous french
meteorite, found just after the fall in jully 2011 in Draveil, more
than 2 month before the few other fragments were recovered (one part
of this broked stone is at MNHN-Paris, my slices come from the other
fragment of this hammer) ! So you can be sure you will have the better
specimens of this fall here...


 Most of the specimens found after october are in the MNHN-Paris
collection (and displayed at the Grande Gallerie de l¹Évolution),
no-one is avialable to meteorite collector communauty. This page is
probably the only chance ever to obatain a specimen!

 Hi Count,

 I absolutely concur that Dirk's efforts seem to be appreciated by many, but
 publicly acknowledged by few. So let me go on record thanking Dirk for his
 tireless efforts -- more often than not, he is the first to report on a new
 potential meteorite-dropping event, and his site is a must-visit for seeing
 early videos.

 Unfortunately, I'm of the opinion that the San Luis Potosi videos are an
 elaborate hoax, as the meteor cannot be confirmed using one of my reliable
 sources. There was no bright meteor over central Mexico at any time from 4
 pm to 6 pm local time (CDT) on 21 August, which corresponds to 21:00-23:00
 UT.

 Apparently I'm not the only one of this opinion. Dirk forwarded me the
 following link that he received from someone who has picked apart the four
 videos. You can judge for yourself, but I think he/she has found some subtle
 glitches and oversights that call into question their validity:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F7ySYpB1RMfeature=youtu.be

 I am also bothered by the mismatch between the reported time of the fall
 (~5:25 pm) and the sun's elevation angle -- particularly in the church
 video. The sun appears to be very high in the sky for so late in the day.
 And where are all the witness reports, or stories in Mexican newspapers?

 Finally, two of the videos are too lucky, in the sense that they just
 happened to be recording something rather un-video-worthy (some random train
 from a car, and a poorly framed church tower) and the meteor magically
 appears.

 What do you all think?  --Rob

 Hi Listers,

 One of the small things in life, but something that brings big pleasure is
 to have the opportunity to compliment and thank someone for their providing
 free gratis excitement and interest into your life.

 Our colleague and friend in Tokyo, Dirk Ross, tirelessly maintains his WORLD
 WIDE METEOR/METEORITE site gathering and posting the news,videos and photos
 of events we are interested in.

 His posting of the four extraordinary videos of the August 21st. meteor
 crossing the mountains and valleys near San Luis Potosi, Mexico are
 thrilling. The last of the four is such a classic that it will always remain
 in my memory bank. It is far more interesting than the video of the Great
 Fireball of 1972 (Gran Teton Grazer.)

 Thank you Dirk..I understand there were sonics associated with this meteor.
 It would be great to find if it became a meteorite.

 Cordially,

 One new approval today.  It is an old Oman find from 2005.  Apparently
 this ureilite was very stubborn and it chewed up several blades before
 it could be subdued by the saw.

 Text -

 Sayh al Uhaymir 559 (SaU 559)20°33.046’N, 56°39.336’E

 Al Wusta, Oman

 Found: Nov 2005

 Classification: Ureilite

 History: During November 2005, John Blennert found a 107 g meteorite
 in the desert of Oman.

 Physical characteristics: Exterior of the stone is rough, with
 preferential (wind?) ablation of the pyroxene over olivine grains.
 Difficult to cut, requiring seven diamond blades and one week to slice
 the stone in half. Surface of the polished thin section is rough.

 Petrography: Typical ureilite dominated by roughly equal proportions
 of anhedral, fine- to medium-grained (0.5 to 1 mm) olivine and
 pyroxene. No graphite visible in the thin section. Extensive reduction
 of the olivine. Diamond abundant and confirmed by powder X-ray
 diffraction. Diamond clusters to 20 μm visible with a reflected-light
 microscope. Interstitial metal mostly altered to iron oxides.

 Geochemistry: Olivine and pyroxene more reduced than in typical
 ureilites. Olivine cores have Fa5.2±0.1, FeO/MnO = 11.5±0.7, Cr2O3 to
 0.5 wt%, CaO to 0.3 wt%, n=13, rims to Fa0.5. Low-Ca pyroxene cores
 Fs4.7±0.1Wo4.89±0.04, n=7.

 Classification: Ureilite.

 Specimens: 32 g and one thin section at ASU.

 Subject: [meteorite-list] I've been a miner for a heart of 


 platinum (with apologies to Neil Young).

 Team Meteorite:

 This 'string' regarding 'asteroid mining' has attracted the scholarly
 attention of the Rubin's and Grossman's and seems worth tying into a
 couple more knots.

 I'm all thumbs though when tying knots, so subject to peer review
 which I will cheerfully accept from my uber peers Rubin and Grossman
 (as well as my everyday peers on this forum).

 . here's some more facts and data dug from two mining company
 websites, hopefully properly interpreted by me, the mini-peer :)

 

 On Earth, typically ten tons of ore must be crushed and refined to
 yield one oz of platinum or platinum group metals (pgm).

 ***

 That fact informs me that an unsupervised process in a harsh
 environment like found on an asteroid in space will have a lower
 yield.

 The main concept of all this discussion is that bulk rock has to be
 processed for shipping in a small package.

 Next up is an abridged description of the process of mining ore to
 acquire platinum group metals(pgm), compiled/copied from two websites
 of mining companies in Africa, probably the richest source of Earth's
 pgm.


 *Concentration

 The ore is ground to liberate mineral particles. These are then
 recovered in the form of a concentrate by froth flotation. The ore
 mineralogy dictates both the fineness of grind required for liberation
 and the ideal flotation conditions. Very fine particles are difficult
 to recover, so two or even three milling and flotation stages may be
 used to minimise losses caused by over-grinding.

 There are minor differences in the details of the equipment and
 operations employed processing a metallic concentrate rich in PGMs
 is sometimes produced in addition to the flotation concentrate. This
 concentrate can be sufficiently rich to by-pass the smelter and be
 sent straight to base metal removal.

 *Smelting

 The concentrate is melted in an electric furnace. Large units with six
 electrodes in line are used for smelting concentrates.Upon melting,
 the concentrate separates into two layers. The upper layer is a
 silicate/oxide slag which is tapped off and then either discarded or
 returned to concentration. The lower layer is a sulphide motto which
 is sent for converting.

 The flotation-concentrate composition must be suitable for smelting.
 Its rock mineral content should produce a fluid slag at the desired
 temperature. At the same time, it must contain enough sulphides to
 form a reasonable quantity of matter. To compensate for minor problems
 with chemical composition, various fluxes are added. Typically, the
 main addition is burnt lime or limestone but other materials such as
 carbonaceous reductants, sulphides, oxides or silicates are used as
 necessary.

 *Base metal removal

 Base metals are removed from the converter matte either by leaching or
 by a combination of magnetic separation and leaching processes.
 Problem elements such as selenium, arsenic and tellurium are also
 removed. The concentrate which results is sent for further processing
 into refined precious metals. Base metals are a valuable by-product of
 PGM extraction. Their further refining by the various producers is
 largely dictated by economies of scale.

 Refining

 Precious metals refining processes have developed considerably in
 recent years. The older or ’classical’ process involved first roasting
 the PGM concentrate. This made the

Still looking for that black market. I'm pretty sure it operates in

[meteorite-list] Fwd: OT: Flu shot before Tucson?

[John Cabassi]

G'Day Everyone
This off topic discussion on flu shots has me really on edge. Greg has
been concerned, as well as many others. After catching it once,
dealing with it twice, I feel my immunity is up to standard. But just
in case, I've put myself together a cut down version of a flame
thrower. This is what I'll be packing when I get to Tucson.  So if any
of you people out there are sniffling, sneezing, coughing and the
occasional fart.. beware, I will not take any prisoners  ;)

Cheers
John

Now that Greg actually got stuck (with the vaccine, not without a plan) and
with the rest of the veteran Tucson Show attendee advice offered from
knowledge (thanks Dr.s) and taken with reverence, I will succumb to the
vaccine tomorrow so I can stop worrying whether or not that I'll worry or
stop worrying, or not stop worrying.

It'll be good to just pack the truck. Very much as if suspending a decision
is no longer suspended, due to the suspence.

No further suspensions will be posted with further notice.

 An old meteorite found in a field was found, thus a find.

  The Meteoritical Bulletin Database uses the following terminology:

  I find this new attempt to change terminology disturbing. I have
  hundreds of old catalogs from the top museums and dealers from more than 
  200
  years ago till today, all of them list falls and finds. None of them 
  discuss
  unobserved falls as an acceptable alternative.
  Are we really ready to just accept anything thrown out there, and watch
  as all manner of BS is used to discredit hundreds of years of accepted
  terminology?
  My private collection focuses on witnessed falls, with date and time
  and science to back it up.
  I am not interested in another group which would include every
  meteorite ever to have fallen, since they did actually all fall at some
  point.
  Well, I guess Anne can delete her birthday fall calendar page since now
  we can simply put every NWA on any date you choose to believe it might have
  possibly fallen:).

 Many of you coming to Tucson have not made plane or hotel reservations, that

 booked up for the show. It is very easy to fly into Phoenix and either rent a 
 car there or take a shuttle van ~$50 each way from the airport direct to 
 Tucson every hour. Car rental is best option as the show is huge, and covers 
 the entire city.
 Make those plans, it gets expensive if you don't.

Re: [meteorite-list] Smallest Meteorite

[John Cabassi]

Lots of small entities. I have a fully encrusted, oriented Buzzard
Coulee 0.3g, but I'll check the weight again

On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 5:36 PM, Jeff Grossman jngross...@gmail.com wrote:

 There are several other very small meteorites...

 Khatyrka, announced in June.  Although it is listed as 0.1 g in the MB
 database, if you read the text, you see that there are only 10 particles,
 all  1 mm.  These could well have an actual cumulative mass of 10 mg.

 Hadley Rille: a named meteorite found in lunar soil from Apollo 15,
 estimated mass 3 mg.

 Bench Crater, another Moonish meteorite.  I don't know what it might have
 weighed, but maybe over 10 mg.  Alan may know.

[meteorite-list] AD: NWA 859 Taza

[John Cabassi]

G'Day Everyone
I had a good friend contact me through our forum. He is offering up
some good specimens.

744 grams
442.3 grams
153.6 grams

All regarded to the subject line: NWA 859 Taza

If you are interested, contact me off list and I'll put you in contact
with him.  I have one of his specimens and it's awesome.  He does have
pictures he sent to me  but they're quite large and not suitable for
the met list. I do not want to jam up space.

I thank you for viewing this and hope it didn't take too much time out
of your shopping weekend :-)

Cheers

G'Day Stefan and List
Very sad news indeed. I wish you the best in your new venture.

 Dear list members

 unfortunately, it falls upon me to announce the final closure of Chladni's
 Heirs. After thorough contemplation, Martin and I have decided to end our
 cooperation. The brand 'Chladni's Heirs' will cease to exist.

 For more than two years there had been differences of opinion, especially
 about our public image and the division of labor within Chladni's Heirs. In
 the end, in spite of a lot of discussions, we could not agree on necessary
 changes. That is why business has more or less been in abeyance since
 January. Since Martin had told me that he would take some time out because
 of illness, I wanted to give him time for a final decision until his
 recovery.

 For a few weeks I myself have already undertaken preparations to relaunch
 my own business (SR Meteorites) because life continues.
 I am determined to continue providing to all collectors the service and
 the quality you are used to. I look forward to many new and interesting
 meteorites and new challenges. And my enthusiasm is unbroken.

 Finally I would like to thank everyone for their support over the past
 years!

 With best wishes,
 Stefan Ralew

 I do apologize for this, but what I said was partly true.  There was indeed a 
 slow moving fireball moving east to west that lit things up as bright as day 
 - it was the Sun.

 You can partly blame Mike Gilmer for inspiring me to do this by bringing his 
 Sylacauga hair post back to life.  I think he's used that twice now - right, 
 Mike?

 For those outside of the US who do not celebrate this great tradition of 
 April Fooling, I offer a second apology.  I think I had one or two people 
 going with this one.

 Hi Ed,

 It would help to have a date and exact time.

 Even if the cameras do not capture anything, an operator can go back and
 make a movie (Sandia./NMSU network) for the time stated to determine if
 there was anything out side of what triggers the recording to take place.

 Cheers!

 Hi List,

 I wanted to report on a personally witnessed, very slow-moving fireball 
 over central North Carolina, USA.  The fireball - so bright that it 
 illuminated the entire area as far as I could see.  Please believe me when 
 I say that it was as bright as day outside!  Never before have I seen 
 anything any brighter.

 Explosions were not heard, nor were there any break-ups witnessed.  The 
 fireball appeared first in the eastern sky, with a trajectory taking it 
 almost perfectly west.  Color was a bright white, perhaps slightly 
 yellowish.  I believe that I can say it was definitely not space junk.

 Anyone have anything on their all-sky cameras?  Doppler reports?  Other 
 sightings?  This thing was HUGE, and I doubt that I was the only one to 
 witness it.  Although I have not heard anything on the local news channel. 
 Very strange since they manage to report on ingrown toenails, and poison 
 ivy rash inflicted on local residents.

 If anyone can collaborate, it would be appreciated.  This has the potential 
 to be something really big!

 Many thanks,
 Ed Deckert

Re: [meteorite-list] varnish on pallasites

[John Cabassi]

Marcin
Are you sure it is vanish, there are many coatings on the market to
improve and seal. Opticon is one,Opticon epoxy comes in two parts—a
resin and a hardener. Generally, only the resin part is used. If the
hardener is used, it is used to seal the surface.

Re: [meteorite-list] Think About Selling my Entire 50mm Sphere Collection

[John Cabassi]

G'Day David and List
Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when you parted with that
collection. I've always admired it and I'm happy to say that I have
quite a few pieces that I got off you from the process of making these
spheres.

I don't really know if you could put a price on them, so much time,
dedication, truly a unique collection.

I wish you luck my friend. This is truly a collection to snap up

Cheers

 Some of you may remember me from a couple years ago.

 I have a really odd collection that is only comprised of 50mm Spheres.
  Back when I started the collection I was really excited about it and  I was
 able to get 19 different meteorite and meteorite related spheres but then it
 just kind of stalled.  It became apparent that it would be very difficult
 and expensive to expand my collection so I kind of lost interest.

 Every once in a while I try to find some new material to make another
 sphere but I'm just not as enthusiastic about the collection as I once was.

 So I am thinking about selling it.  I don't think I would be willing to
 part it out, it would be a bit to hard to see part of the collection on my
 shelf so I am pretty sure that the only way I would sell it is if someone
 bought it as a collection.

 I was wondering if anyone on this list would mind helping me determine the
 current value of the entire collection


 You can view it by pasting this url into your browser
 http://home.roadrunner.com/~bobadebt/

 The images of the spheres on the web site are not photo shopped to look
 perfectly round, the size and shape are as photographed with slight editing
 to adjust the lighting and sharpness

 I don't mind discussing the collection via the list but I would prefer
 that all appraisals of my collection be sent to me via email to
 bobad...@ec.rr.com


 I know that I have not been around for a while and that is due to many
 factors that I would rather not go into but I hope I am not breaking any new
 rues by submitting this request.

 Thanks in advance
