Re: [meteorite-list] Not an answer they like

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Tracy,
When I find myself in this situation I tell them they can be certain it's not a 
meteorite because I'm not offering them any money! I tell them how important a 
new find/fall would be and that if this was a meteorite, I would be connecting 
them with an institution and offering cash. This usually gets the point across.
Good luck!
Larry

that likely washed free of an upslope location and rolled/fell/bounced into his 
yard.  They found it the following day after a "loud thump that shook the 
house", then picked it up and hosed it off, so don't have any pictures of it in 
situ, just a shallow hole with muddy splash marks.  I've told them several 
times that it doesn't look like a meteorite: vesicles, not regmaglypts; no 
fusion crust, nothing that identifies it as a likely meteorite, but they don't 
want to hear it.  Anyone who has dealt with a persistent "meteorite" finder, 
how did you eventually get them to listen to reason/experience -- or not?

Re: [meteorite-list] Toxic Giant Hogweed Spreading - Warning to Meteorite Collectors

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Graham's so right, it's hard to miss due to its size.

Common hog weed which is rather 'uncommon' here in Michigan gets to a maximum 
of 6 feet tall, it truly is stunning with it's big tabletop size flowers and 
huge leaves. Giant hog weed, invasive here in the states, is huge! By mid 
summer the plants are 6 - 12 feet tall and are easily identified. I can't speak 
accurately for the rest of the country but here in Mich the Giant variety is 
extremely rare. I have 5 trucks on the road all summer long, out ridding the 
good people of our state of their poison ivy and other noxious and/or invasive 
plants. In all the years doing this we've only seen giant hog weed once.

So if you find yourself out looking for a piece of the Hamburg meteorite don't 
worry too much about hog weed, but be very aware of the ubiquitous poison ivy!

Larry Atkins

Just learn to recognize it...which is pretty easy because of it's size...it is 
a notifiable plant here in the UK but never thought of it as any more of a 
problem than loads of other poisonous plants and fungi I see near here...learn

Re: [meteorite-list] Ad 32 Auctions Lots of Good Deals!

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Adam,


Man, you are killing me. Are you just bored? Why are you singling out me and my 
auctions? I've never done anything to you, and don't say you are just trying to 
protect me and other dealers, you are drawing undo attention, that's not 
protection. Leave sleeping dogs lie. I can't believe that after the last few 
years of watching you drag people into ridiculousville you've finally got me. 
On one hand I really want to ignore you but I can't. 


I sell once a year, enough to cover a tiny percentage of the costs of the 
pursuit. I contribute valuable information and new meteorites to science as 
often as I can, all with my own hard earned money. I started my poison ivy 
control business 12 years ago just so that I could pursue meteorites and 
contribute to the science. I spent thousands of my own dollars to open up and 
document the Nevada side of Gold Basin, (which is now confirmed by Dr. Kring 
and publication is pending.) How much sweat and treasure do you think Osceola 
cost me? How about weeks and weeks on end for two winters in your back yard, 
unraveling the Bullhead City strewn field all on my dime? I've worked very hard 
over the years in my spare time to be a positive force in this hobby, sharing 
with whom ever and wherever I can. And yes, I'm defensive right now because I 
take your posts personally. I feel like you are trying to draw attention to me, 
specifically, right now while my once or so a year ebay ads are running, and I 
don't deserve that  You should pick someone else to target, maybe someone that 
is actually out doing bad things.


 While I'm at it, if this was something that actually needed to be adhered to, 
everyone that has ever bought a questionable meteorite should throw it in the 
garbage right now. Universities and institutions that have procured these same 
falls and finds should throw theirs on the burn pile too, or turn themselves in 
and be prosecuted for trafficking. So as anyone of sound mind can see, that's 
ridiculous and these laws are very much not unlike other b.s. laws of the past 
and present, practically unenforceable and wrong to begin with. A crime needs a 
victim by definition and I don't see a victim here. Furthermore, the stones 
would have to be reclassified and proven to be legitimate, then in the case of 
say Battle Mountain, Gold Basin, Franconia or Indian Butte, to name a few, 
there is a checkerboard or mix of private / public land. Which stone is this? 
Where was this particular stone found? Prove where the stone came from! And all 
for what? What a joke, a complete waste of resources. It's like trying to 
enforce sodomy laws or tell people they can't smoke weed, forget it. My 
neighbor in Az is a county sheriff and I watch him do a rolling stop everyday 
at the stop sign in front of the house, do I lecture him? Should I call his 
boss? GET REAL. These laws you cite are wrong headed, or at the very least, if 
used to prosecute a guy like me, that would not be in the true spirit of which 
they were written. Despite the fact you say you don't agree with the laws, you 
seem to be quite an outspoken proponent on this list, unless of course it 
interferes with your pursuits.


Adam, I used to have great respect for you, and though I can't take away 
anything positive you've done in the past, it would seem your days of positive 
contribution are over. During the past several years your posts have 
continually deteriorated in such a negative way that I don't respect you 
anymore. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you are the snitch you mention. 
You're not my meteorite Daddy and I didn't ask for your advice or your 
protection. Please do not comment on my posts in the future. Like I said to you 
once in the past, relax man, get outside and go find a meteorite. Find 
something  constructive to do. Based on the emails, texts and phone calls I've 
received today, many others would agree.





Sincerely,
Larry

[meteorite-list] Ad 32 Auctions Lots of Good Deals!

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

List,

I have 32 auctions running right now with some ending in about 24 hours. Most 
started at .99 with no reserve and some still have no bids. There are a few 
items rarely offered, like Osceola, the witnessed fall from Florida. Or NWA 
11107 a rare eucrite melt. Right now there is a 2.8 gram end cut with only 2 
bids, $2.51 at the moment.

Some other highlights would be the rarely offered Arizona find officially 
recognized as Bullhead City. Another rarely offered Arizona meteorite, the 
witnessed fall called Indian Butte, aka Stanfield. I have a low TKW Howardite 
that is gorgeous, NWA 11184. It's a 2.71 gram full slice that is currently at 
$13.00.

Don't miss the extraordinary Anda tektites. The first 2 I put up sold quick, 
there are 2 more up with very reasonable buy it now prices and a quick search 
on the internet will demonstrate the rarity, these things are practically 
unobtainable. 

Others listed are:
Holbrook frag's from my big find in 2007.
A 3.2 kg Gold Basin from the Nevada side.
NWA 6581 an LL6.
NWA 10140 Lunar 1 of only 2 anorthositic troctolite.
unclassified NWA type3 slices.
NWA 8663 A complete crusted eucrite stone with no bids and no reserve!

There are others as well, take a minute and check them out if interested.

Thank you.

Hello List,

I have listed some items on ebay, many starting at .99 with no reserve. You 
will find some interesting items like Anda tektites. If you've never seen these 
before they are certainly worth a look! I also have a few small samples of NWA 
11107, a rare 1 of 11 eucrite melt breccia. There's a small piece of NWA 10140, 
1 of only 2 troctolitic anorthosite lunar meteorites. There are many others 
too, like Osceola, Park Forest, a multi kilo Gold Basin, an unofficial type 3 
at only .99 to start and more. I'll be adding many others over the next few 
days and weeks as well so check back now and then for new items. Visit my 
website for sales and adventure too! CosmicConnectionMeteorites.com

ebay listings copy and paste;

[meteorite-list] Ad - and New Paper about Osceola

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hello List,

I thought I'd share some new things today. First, Alan Rubin has produced a 
very interesting paper about some of the L chondrites in our collections, and 
Osceola played it's part. Be sure to give it a read, I found it fascinating! 
Here's a link to my Osceola page, Alan's paper is at the bottom. I still have 
some Osceola available.

https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/osceola/


I've recently had 3 stones classified and I was super happy with the results. 
The first one is a case of redemption! I posted this one to the MPOD on 
11/27/2015 and there was some doubt as to its meteoritic origins. Thankfully it 
is a meteorite, NWA 11107, 1 of only 11 with this classification. I am open to 
offers on the 2.5Kg stone.

NWA 11107 2.56 kg Eucrite Melt Breccia, 1 of only 11 This one is special. The 
finder apparently burned some cloth on the stone when he found it, maybe giving 
thanks? It's a must see.

https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/fujbqube0p2j9hqjp7yizncufiuszw

NWA 11107 3.24g Eucrite Melt Breccia, 1 of only 11 

https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/wwjgnwga3gn75luir7elwn9fvappze


This one was a bit of a surprise. The stone was quite dark and I wasn't sure 
what to think of it, Howardite was not my first guess.

NWA 11108 5.74g Howardite

https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/nwa-11108-howardite-end-cut-5747-g

This one I pretty much knew was a howardite. One look and you will agree, It's 
got that classic look! The pictures are a bit dark but it's actually very fresh 
looking material.

NWA 11184 4.11g Howardite

Re: [meteorite-list] new find- Phoenix

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Very nice. Congrat's Todd!

Coincidentally, I made a cold find on Saturday as well. Mine looks completely 
different though, much older, not as pretty.
Are you going to have it classified?

Sincerely,
Larry

Re: [meteorite-list] Another Land Grab In Nevada And Utah!

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Ben, List, 

Ben says "The map of the Gold Butte National Monument that I saw on line,
went from the border of the Lake Mead Recreational Park on the west, 
to the Arizona Border on the east and south, and almost to the the
highway near Mesquite to the north."

That encompasses the Nevada side of GB, game over! I sure am glad I got in 
there when I did.

I think the vast majority of people are all for protecting archeological sites, 
dino bones and tracks, etc. I sure am. However, I've always been a fan of the 
'middle of the road' when it comes to many things, it doesn't always have to be 
all or nothing. Closing off that much land makes no sense at all and Adam hit 
the nail on the head, there's such a thing as over regulation. And hey Mike, 
you don't have to make all that land off limits to stop trailer parks, be 
serious friend. I spent weeks and weeks in the Gold Butte area and saw nary a 
soul. This place has built in protections.. it's remote! The few people I saw 
didn't even get out of the car let alone pillage and plunder, and again, like 
Adam said, if thieves have a mind to steal, they will, and with impunity 
because nobody is there to report them anyway. I'm all for protecting what 
needs protecting but some of this stuff is out of hand. If laws are going to be 
passed like this there should be input from the people that actually use the 
land and have an interest in it, and some common sense should be applied. 
An example of nonsense rules, I can't collect pottery chips or worked stone but 
it's perfectly legal and okay for the cattle to pulverize it into oblivion. 
That makes no sense and leads to a lack of confidence in the officials that 
make the policies. Or how about not being able to swim in some of the 
reservoirs in California because it's a protected water body, but look over 
there, it's a herd of 40 cows standing chest deep dropping poop bombs into the 
drinking water! Someone needs to explain the logic in these things if they 
think it's the right way to manage the land.

We all know that prohibiting the collection of meteorites on federal land is a 
bad idea. Those meteorites will never be found by scientists or "officials" and 
thus will be lost to science forever. How about some compromise?


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

I've not seen the boundary lines for the Gold Butte closure but I think it's 
safe to say a large portion of the Nevada side Gold Basin strewn field is now 
off limits, how unfortunate.

Re: [meteorite-list] Larry Atkin's New Website

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi Adam, List,

Thanks for the compliment Adam. Yes, it took a few hundred hours or so to put 
it all together, going through old computers of mine looking for images, trying 
to remember details, and so on. The funny thing is that I left out so much! 
I've already begun a new folder of images to add to the site. Also, I only put 
a few items on the sale page to see how it works and I still need to load it 
up, so stand by, there's more to come.

I looked at your pictures, Adam, nice work on the gold! I look forward to your 
field report as I was quite intrigued with last years image of the large iron 
mass on the mountain side, I can't wait to find out what it is and of course 
hear about the 'treasure' you found.

p.s. Thank you to everyone that contacted me on or off list with your 
compliments, corrections and advice, I greatly appreciate it.


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hi Larry and List Members,

Thank you for posting a link to your website  I read through it with 
fascination.  It must have taken you several hundred hours, if not a 
thousand to compile and author this awesome website.  I have been to most of 
the places you have posted here in the southwest yet we have never crossed 
paths in the field.   It proves, once again, that the southwestern US can 
produce high levels of excitement and adventure, practically in your own 
backyard, without ever having to step foot out of the country if you live 
here.

I have not even had the time to post a field trip report on our grueling 
2,200 mile plus, 2 week, September 2016 Team LunarRock hunt here in Nevada. 
I was especially interested in your Battle Mountain trip report since we own 
2,800 plus feet of Trout Creek front passing through one of our properties 
in Lander County, Nevada.  I wonder if meteorite hunters found anything near 
the creek you mention that the trout disappear underground in the Battle 
Mountain area.  I did not find any meteorites in Battle Mountain but found 
other treasure.

A few images of the third and fourth days of Team LunarRock's September 
Trip:

Mountain):

of our property:

What every gold prospector loves to see, a black pay streak!  I have been 
watching the GOLD RUSH show too much:

Gold clean out in the kitchen.  I do not have a clean out shack like the 
Hoffman's

Results after four total hours worth of work including clean out:
http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/BattleMountainProperty2016/GoldFourHours.jpg

Maybe I will be able to find some time to do a full report of the September 
Team LunarRock hunt which included some new members and some old ones.  It 
is full of twists and turns with a few of the previous year's mysteries 
solved (curious iron stones and a giant unreachable crystal in a vug).   A 
few new mysteries were added on this years hunt which ended with finding 
real treasure, besides gold, on the last day.

Best Regards,

Adam Hupe
Team LunarRock

Bolivia Meteorite AdventureBy Gregory M. HupeOn November 20, 2016 a massive 
meteorite event took place over Aiquile, Bolivia at approximately 5:00 p.m. 
local time.  While still daylight, Quechua Indian eyewitnesses saw ‘corkscrew’ 
smoke trails and heard ‘whooshing’ noises followed by sonic booms and then 
stones literally falling at their feet!Michael Farmer and I went to Aiquile to 
hunt for meteorites and attempt to acquire stones from the inhabitants. Things 
didn’t quite work out that way…Welcome to Aiquile

would take us over two weeks after the fall to fly to Bolivia due to Mike’s 
yearly show commitment in Japan.  Just 24 hours at home after returning from 
the show, Michael flew to Florida to meet me.  On December 8th we began our 
journey to South America from Miami.  Our travels would take us by air to 
Aiquile by way of La Paz and then on to Cochabamba and then by private hire to 
Aiquile.  With no sleep for over 30 hours of travel from home to the dusty town 
near the strewnfield, we were exhausted but too excited to rest. We went right 
to work meeting with fellow meteorite hunter, Dario Ruiz, who had been there 
for two weeks.  He introduced us to individuals about hunting for meteorites or

this website. I'm no computer whiz so I used Squarespace and I found it quite 
simple. I recommend it for anyone else that may be challenged when it comes to 
creating a website.

I did the best I could to provide accurate information like names and dates, 
photo credits, etc. If you see a discrepancy of any kind, please let me know so 
that I can fix it. If you see your mug in here or I mention your name and you 
don't want any part of it just say the word and I'll pull the offence from the 
site. Any criticisms and or compliments are always welcome, your input is 
valued. If you have images from hunts that I was involved in and you would like 
them included please send them to me, the more the merrier.

 I hope you will take the time to go through and enjoy the many pages filled 
with meteorite images, friends and family, nature photography, micro 
photography, and more!

I'm sad to tell everyone that we lost one of the best men I ever met; Larry 
Sloan. He was a very well respected and loved man, always ready with a smile 
and some of his natural remedies! He loved everything meteorite and will be 
missed greatly at the shows.

After I lost my dad in 2006 Larry stepped up and became my second Dad; and he 
was always there with a smile and some advice.

The shows will be a little sadder without his smiling face but I'm sure he will 
do his best to send down some Meteorites from heaven just to keep us on our 
toes! :-)

Please send your thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.

Thank you

We just received this meteorite back from TCU. Here it is, a look inside this 
beautiful freshly fallen meteorite that Terry Scott and I recovered near 
Crosbyton, TX after the Feb. 18, 2016 fireball. The meteorite is pristine with 
a beautiful light grey matrix loaded with chondrules and metal flakes. Official 
name and classification still pending. The images are also on my Facebook page

[meteorite-list] Ad - Osceola Fall

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hello Meteorite Fans,

As you've probably heard, Osceola is now official!

In celebration, we would like to make some material available to the collector 
market. A lot of people have been asking for it but we wanted to wait until it 
was officially recognized. 

There are a few interesting facts about this meteorite that I'd like to share 
with those that are not aware. First, this meteorite is scientifically 
interesting, more so than the average L6 chondrite. It is currently being 
studied in the lab and results will be published in the near future. Next, this 
is only the 6th meteorite from Florida and only the second witnessed fall from 
that state.That's some of the lowest meteorite counts for any state in the 
U.S., with only a few having less. This is the only witnessed fall from Florida 
to become available to the collector!! The other witnessed fall (Orlando), was 
a ~180g single stone and as far as I know it has never been offered for sale. 
Osceola was the 9th fireball of 10, tracked down and located using Doplar 
radar, a rare occurrence to say the least. Other meteors have fallen in Florida 
and people have tried to find them but it's never happened, likely due to the 
inhospitable hunting conditions. I'm aware of at least 4 parties that have gone 
out on multi day hunts looking for Osceola without success. The remaining 
meteorites are being assimilated, the swamp is consuming them and they are 
turning into the Earth right now. It's unlikely that anymore than a stone or 
two more will ever be found, let alone a mother load. This is a very rare, 
collectible fall meteorite.

In hand the slices are quite nice. The material looks best unpolished so that 
is how they are offered. With a hand lens, in good light, you can easily see 
the abundant copper, as well as a host of other colors like green, gold, blue 
and bronze, a whole rainbow unlike anything I've personally noticed in a 
meteorite. There are a few thin shock veins, some black and some filled with 
metal. Thin black fusion crust surrounds each slice, contrasting nicely with 
the lighter, yet slightly shock darkened interior. The full slices range in 
weight from 16 grams up to 41 grams.

If you've not yet read the story of the fall and recovery, go to 
Mikesastrophotos site and check it out. He's written an exciting story with 
lots of pictures. Space.com picked up the story too, as well as many others. 

http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/comets/osceola-meteorite-recovery/

Space.com

http://www.space.com/32046-florida-fireball-meteorite-hunt-success.html

 You can also see a t.v. interview with me here;

http://www.news4jax.com/news/hunters-find-meteorites-in-the-osceola-national-forest

I've prepared an array of specimens to suit most collector budgets. Full slices 
and large part slices will be presented in a high quality Riker Box with an 
identification card. Smaller part slices and fragments come in a plastic gem 
jar and include an ID card as well. Please keep in mind there is a very limited 
amount of this material and it's first come, first served. There are 8 full 
slices total, maybe only 7 if I need to break one up for smaller pieces. Out of 
the 991 grams TKW there is about 400 grams total that will be made available.

Prices break down like this:
< 1 gram is $175/g
1 - 5 grams $150/g
6 - 10 grams $125/g
11+ grams $100/g

Email me off list for for inquiries and photo's.

Thanks and have a great day!


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

is official, approved by NonCom and entered into the Met Bull today - 
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=63109 Osceola 30�27.16�N, 
82�27.25�W Florida, USA Confirmed fall: 2016 Jan 24 Classification: Ordinary 
chondrite (L6) History: (Mike Hankey, Larry Atkins, Laura Atkins, Josh Adkins, 
Brendan Fallon, Robert Matson, Marc Fries) On Sunday Morning 24 January at 
10:27 EST (15:27 UTC) a large daytime fireball streaked across the sky in 
northern Florida. Over 100 eyewitnesses reported the event to the American 
Meteor Society (Event 2016-266), describing a white sparkling head and plume of 
white smoke left behind. Fireball researchers Marc Fries and Rob Matson, found 
the American Meteor Society witness trajectory intersected with a group of 
radar returns that appeared shortly after the fall. The radar returns were 
strong, found at multiple altitudes and located on multiple stations: KJAX, 
KVAX and KTHL. Larry Atkins was the first on the scene. Mike Hankey arrived 5 
days after the fall with Brendan Fallon and joined Larry and Laura Atkins in 
the hunt. On the 6th day, Mike Hankey found the first stone at 8.5 g on the 
eastern edge of the primary radar return. Within 2 hours Larry Atkins found the 
second stone (18.5 g) directly under the radar. The next day, two more stones 
were found: a 5.5 g stone by Laura Atkins and a 48.5 g stone by Mike Hankey. 
Six days later over 2 miles away from the first find, an 839 g mass was found 
by Josh Adkins and Brendan Fallon. A week after that, Larry Atkins found the 
last stone, weighing 75.5 g. In total 6 stones were found over a three week 
hunting period for a total weight of 990.5 g. Physical characteristics: Thin, 
well formed shiny fusion crust covers the exterior of four of the stones, while 
two of them, the 43 g and the 839 g are matte black. This is likely due to 
submersion in wet sand and/or water prior to recovery. Some small rust spots 
are evident on some of the stones as well. Small regmaglypts are present on the 
43 g and the 839 g stones, and the remaining stones are irregularly shaped with 
little to no orientation. Some chondrules are visible through the crust. The 
interior of the meteorites are slightly darkened due to shock. Shock veins are 
present, some of which are black while others are filled with metal, appearing 
as long "strings" up to 3 mm long. Though most of the chondrules have been 
altered and are not well defined, some rare, large chondrules up to 0.8 mm are 
present. Petrography: Plagioclase grains are up to 100 �m in size, consistent 
with type 6. No maskelynite was found. There are numerous chromite-plagioclase 
assemblages, consistent with moderately strong shock. Chromite grains are 
fractured. Troilite is polycrystalline. Metallic copper occurs as 2-�m-thick 
bands at the metal-troilite interface in an opaque assemblage. The chondrules 
are recrystallized and poorly defined. The only discernible chondrules are 
large ones, 800-1000 �m across; these are BO and PO textural types. 
Geochemistry: Olivine Fa23.7�0.3 (n=21), Orthopyroxene Fs20.2�0.2Wo1.6�0.2 
(n=14). Also present are small grains of diopside: Fs7.4 Wo44.9 (n=1). 
Plagioclase has a mean composition of Ab71.7�1.6 Or8.8�2.5 (n=8); the low Na 
and high K values are a result of shock. Specimens: 21.8 g at UCLA

Re: [meteorite-list] Osceola searches

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Rob,
A quick tally suggests I spent approximately 190 hours in the field for my 2 
stones.  My friend Darryl and my Uncle Brent spent about 80 hours each, without 
a find. Laura probably hunted about 125 hours or so for her one stone. My 2 
brothers were there for a few days, no finds. Mike made his 2 finds rather 
quickly, this was his fall ; ) Josh and Brendon I can't recall how many hours 
for their 1 stone but I'd say they hunted at least 7-10 days.

It was a tough hunt, just like most of them!

Hi Rob and List,

I can attest to the difficult terrain. I certainly picked a doozie for
my first meteorite hunt. Even though I have hiked much of Florida's
forests and backwoods, I usually avoid the swampy areas. I did not
have the luxury of avoiding swamp with this hunt. I brought my
hip-waders and managed to reach a few dry places that were surrounded
by water, but nothing was found. I am heading back before the end of
April for one last college try before I hang it up.

Did Arkansas Steve find anything?

Hi Rob, All,

Steve may have beat me there, I'm not sure.  I arrived sometime in the a.m. the

Hi Mike -- best of luck on your next trip out there. For everyone to appreciate
just how hard the searching is there, it would be great if those that have been
could provide an estimate of how many hours they spent. Mexico Doug put in
a LOT of time out there. Obviously so did Larry, Mike, Laura, Josh and Brendan.
Steve Arnold was there at least 2 or 3 days but unfortunately w/o a space rock
for his troubles.

Hi Rob and List,

I can attest to the difficult terrain. I certainly picked a doozie for
my first meteorite hunt. Even though I have hiked much of Florida's
forests and backwoods, I usually avoid the swampy areas. I did not
have the luxury of avoiding swamp with this hunt. I brought my
hip-waders and managed to reach a few dry places that were surrounded
by water, but nothing was found.  I am heading back before the end of
April for one last college try before I hang it up.

Did Arkansas Steve find anything?

Best regards and Happy Huntings,

MikeG

Hi All,

Some further information about the circumstances leading to the successful
meteorite recovery east of Lubbock, TX. First off, Mike Hankey deserves special
notice since often the first indication we have of a new potential fall is the
AMS website that he maintains. Marc Fries was the first to spot the nice
Lubbock radar returns for this fall -- less than 18 hours after the event! I
compiled those, and additional returns I found in the Amarillo radar, and
then went on a search for seismic signatures or videos that could be used
to pin down the time of the event. One Youtube video surfaced right away,
taken from a dashcam on highway 183 near Euless, Texas:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMkeVGSlV7o

Pat Branch did some quick work measuring terminus angles, concluding that
the vector lined up perfectly with the radar returns east of Lubbock. I soon
located two more videos, one from some still undetermined location near
Augusta, Kansas (east of Wichita) and some 580 km (!) from the fall:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPDoZYfH4ko

and another from a dashcam near Edmond, OK, north of Oklahoma City:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPb7jrtX4p0

Pat Branch was successful in contacting the driver of this car who provided
his exact location. There are numerous landmarks in this video that allowed
me to determine reasonably accurate starting and ending directions. 
Triangulating
this video with the one from Euless led to a fairly steep fireball entry angle 
and
a nearly due west trajectory.

However, upper atmospheric winds were relatively strong (over 100 mph to
the southeast,) and not surprisingly this is the trend we see in the radar 
returns.
All that remained was to get an accurate time for the event so that meteorite
masses could be estimated (based on the time delay between the fall and
when various radar volumes were scanned). Unfortunately, none of the
three videos above has a sufficiently accurate timetag.

But here again Pat came to the rescue. Rob Ferguson (the provider of the
Edmond, OK dashcam) emailed Pat telling him that the fireball was also
captured by the Oklahoma Dept. of Emergency Management's tower cam,
and that a friend of his (Putnam Reiter) works there and pulled the video for
him. This has a great, unobstructed view of the event, being up on a tower
some 200 feet! Most importantly, it has a very accurate timetag, being
regularly synced with a NTP server. So we now knew the beginning of the
event was at 3:44:08 UT (21:44:08 CST). I determined that the earliest radar
returns of the fall were from Amarillo NEXRAD at 3:45:49.7, just 99 seconds
after the beginning of dark flight (~21:44:11 UT). This was how we knew
meteorites were on the ground for sure, since dust or even small pebbles
can't fall that far in less than 2 minutes.

Anyway, this is getting a bit long and I want to get these details out
there sooner rather than later in order to credit some of the important
players that made this all happen. Hopefully it gives you a sense of the
amount of detective work goes into chasing down these falls, and how
much of a team effort it is.

Cheers!
Rob

Hi All,

Just want to report that the west Texas bolide that occurred one week
ago on the evening of 17 February 2016 is officially a fall: the second
successful radar-enabled recovery of 2016 (following Osceola, Florida)
as well as Texas' second Doppler-cued recovery (the first of course
being Ash Creek almost exactly seven years ago). Congratulations to
the persistent meteorite recovery team who walked the many miles to

Hi Adam, All,

This may be true but it is very rarely if ever enforced, rendering the laws 
meaningless. BLM got all excited a couple years ago but it came to nothing, ask 
Michael Mulgrew how his application went. It's a joke. The people enforcing the 
laws of our wild lands have better things to do than hassle rock hounds. In my 
sixteen years of hunting and occasional selling I've never heard of, or 
experienced trouble. In fact, I've encountered law enforcement of all types 
while in the field, told them exactly what I was doing, talked money and 
everything, and all they say is "Good luck! Have a great day!"

I agree with everything you stated with the exception of response 2 where 
you state private citizens can profit from meteorite finds here in the 
United States.  It is against federal and most state laws to use meteorites 
found on public land for commercial purposes meaning that the finder is not 
allowed to sell anything they find.  Private citizen are prohibited from 
making a profit without a permit which will never be issued.



2) If private citizens were prohibited from profiting from the recovery of 
meteorites,
would you expect a negative impact on the quantity of recovered material 
from a
new fall? I think this is undeniable, and therefore it certainly follows 
that the total
mass deposited with accredited institutions would suffer. And it's not just 
the
quantity, it's the quality. A meteorite recovered within 24 hours of a fall 
is obviously
more scientifically valuable than one recovered a month later, when 
terrestrial
weathering has altered some rare minerals, and short-lived radioisotopes 
have
decayed below the threshold of detectability.

Hi Ian,

against
current Australian state policies, I feel some counter-commentary is 
appropriate.

In my opinion, Creston was really no stranger than Sutter's Mill, Novato, 
Battle Mountain,
Mifflin or Ash Creek. Science has been well served by all of these falls.

I think what you are getting at is that only a small fraction of each of 
these falls made
it into the hands of researchers. There are a couple points to consider:

(1) How much material do researchers really need to extract the majority of 
pertinent
scientific data from a fall? Sure, if you had infinite time you'd love to 
have all of it since
the individual meteorites from a fall are not necessarily homogenous. (Case 
in point:
Almahata Sitta). But balanced against this is the question of how much more 
you're
going to learn by analyzing all of the stones from an L6 fall.

(2) If private citizens were prohibited from profiting from the recovery of 
meteorites,
would you expect a negative impact on the quantity of recovered material 
from a
new fall? I think this is undeniable, and therefore it certainly follows 
that the total
mass deposited with accredited institutions would suffer. And it's not just 
the
quantity, it's the quality. A meteorite recovered within 24 hours of a fall 
is obviously
more scientifically valuable than one recovered a month later, when 
terrestrial
weathering has altered some rare minerals, and short-lived radioisotopes 
have
decayed below the threshold of detectability.

(3) Successful meteorite recovery requires a significant skill set AND 
considerable
expenditures of time and money. In the U.S., I expect that more than 95% of 
the
annual resources made available through government grants to recover 
meteorites
goes to ANSMET. I've spent thousands of unpaid hours on the analysis of 
nearly
all U.S. falls that have occurred in the last 15 years, as well as a number 
of falls
outside America, and have devoted a not insignificant amount of time and 
money
traveling to many of these places to recover meteorites. On each of these
expeditions I tend to encounter the same couple dozen of dedicated 
individuals --
names that would all be familiar to anyone on the Meteorite List. On 
occasion I 

Re: [meteorite-list] Case study: Lake Eyre meteorite vs. U.S.

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi Adam,

What I said is true. Unenforced laws are meaningless. A warning or whatever. 
really doesn't add up to anything of substance, and without actual charges or 
at least a ticket, it's just words.

I'm guessing, only guessing, the incidents you mentioned happened during, or 
just after the peak of the" Met Men" series, when the BLM was on a mission to 
keep us from making all that 'easy money'. I'd bet those same officers watching 
eBay have tired of the activity and moved on to bigger fish long ago. Not much 
to get uptight about on eBay regarding American meteorites "poached" from state 
or federal land. It wouldn't take long for them to figure out that monitoring 
eBay is a nonstarter, not enough money to merit the effort. The crater is the 
exception but that's a whole other topic.

 I spend a lot of time in the field, thousands of hours, and I have hard core 
meteorite hunting buddies pounding the ground for thousands of hours per year 
without incident. Every single officer I've come into contact with was aware of 
what I was doing and never once have I had an issue. Some day if we ever  get 
together we can share some stories.

As far as artifacts and fossils go you are correct, but only to a point. You 
can surface collect in most areas as far as I know. I can pick up fossils all 
day long, no one cares until I find 'Sue'. The same will hold true for 
meteorites, no one is gonna care until I recover the first North American Lunar.

 The heat has cooled off. Relax,, Smile and go find some rocks bro. : )

I wish what you said was true.  Our entire group was hassled around the 
Pahrump area in Nevada and twice in California.  Eight of our team members 
were threatened (warned) and I know others on the List who have been hassled 
as well.  Two agents based out Barstow went as far as saying they know what 
is being sold on eBay.  We were told that some public land is designated as 
heritage or areas of areas of critical concern which are completely off 
limits while metal detectors cannot be used in other areas.  I cannot find 
any source which lists these areas so an agent can determine this in field 
so be careful.  Just ask artifact and fossils hunters what happened with 
their once-fine avocation including the fellow who found "Sue" the dinosaur.

Re: [meteorite-list] Mining Asteroids

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi Sean,

  Think of it like this. If you put the Earth in a giant blender, mix it all 
up, then take a shovel full, the ratio of precious metals would be higher than 
if you didn't blend it. In essence it would be like sampling a chondritic 
asteroid. Go to an asteroid or bring one back, every scoop is high in rare 
earth elements because it is not differentiated and is equal to the solar 
ratio. 
That's the way I understand it. If I'm off someone correct me please.

Hello Listers,
 Over the years there's been a lot of talk about
mining asteroids for gold, diamonds, platinum and other valuable
metals. There are groups forming companies, looking for investors and
finding them. What I'm wondering is if all that treasure is out
there wouldn't we already have found it in the tens of thousands of
meteorite samples we know about within the meteorite community? I
realize we've found nano diamonds and nickel along with the iron group
material but is there any thing indicating that there's any reason to
justify the expense of an space mining operation? If I'm wrong about
what we've already found in meteorite samples please correct me. Any
thoughts?

Re: [meteorite-list] Fireball Just Now

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi Robert,

That would be like a dream come true. When it comes down to it I guess it would 
be okay if it killed me, something is going to be my demise one day, may as 
well be a swift blow to the head by a piece of cosmic debris!

Don,

As kind as your intentions were, I just have to point out that you got it all 
wrong! If you really want the best for Larry, you need to adjust the scenario 
to where the meteorite actually DOES hit him. Obviously no serious injury, but 
definitely enough to cause some bleeding ... and the need for a few stitches. I 
mean, can you imagine how COOL it would be to go down in history as the first 
confirmed person to have been cut by a falling meteorite!?? And stitches??? 
What unbelievable bragging rights when showing off THAT scar!!! Could it get 
any better than that? You agree, don't you, Larry?  ;-)

Best wishes to all,
Robert Woolard

Key Capital Announces Major Potential Meteorite Mining Opportunity Joint 
Ventured
CNN Money
December 02, 2015: 08:30 AM ET

Key Capital Corporation (OTC PINK: KCPC) ("Key Capital" or "the Company") 
advises that the Company has entered into a joint venture for the exploitation 
of a highly promising and exciting Arizona resource property.

The orebody located on the property is well known as a magnetite resource 
having been the subject of extensive historic exploration since the 1960s. 
In recent years, through identification of extraordinary high-grade iridium 
in samples, it became evident that a significant part of the orebody on 
the property is of meteorite origin, and it was established that the orebody 
presented major potential for precious metals and PGMs.

Iridium is usually found naturally only in small concentration and quantity 
and the total annual world production of iridium, which sells for around 
US$580 per ounce, is only 3 tons. Concentrations of iridium such as in 
the analysis of ore samples from the property, including associated high-grade 
osmium, is only found in meteorites in association with other high-grade 
precious metals, and the ore in this case appears to be "Achondrite" in 
origin.

Recognizing that an alternative assay approach needed to be used, an ore 
sample was sent to an independent specialist laboratory and the resultant 
reported precious and rare metals content proved to be extraordinary:

In general, the natural composition of a meteorite is relatively consistent 
and in most cases very rich in mineralization. The opportunity to capitalize 
on the potential of this identified meteorite ore is unique and exciting, 
and, subject to expectations being met during the course of bulk sampling 
commencing in Q1, 2016, it is planned to then commence mining operations 
by 2016 year-end.

The project does not have a proven resource or reserve and is not compliant 
with SEC or NI 43-101 reporting standards. However, when considering the 
relatively high content of precious and rare metals known to be found 
in certain meteorites when compared to traditional mines, the Company 
has determined that the most effective and efficient method of development 
is to prove up grade, recoverability and viability through bulk sampling, 
and then to move directly to scaled-up commercial production.

Christopher Nichols, President/CEO of Key Capital stated: "The idea that 
asteroids can be mined for their high-grade valuable resources has been 
around for years and in recent times has attracted many high-profile investors 
including Larry Page, Eric Schmidt, James Cameron, Ross Perot, and Richard 
Branson. The opportunity to mine a meteorite presents unique potential, 
but without the high-risk, expected costs and uncertainty of establishing 
mining operations in a space environment."

ABOUT KEY CAPITAL: Key Capital is a financial services company providing 
alternative finance solutions to resource and energy projects. The Company 
is growing a Mineral and Energy Bank of accretive interests in diverse 
commodity streams through the provision of structured and equity financing 
for mid-market resource production in mines containing gold, silver, or 
base metals, or in energy products. The Company is a Georgia corporation 
headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Hi List,
Thanks for all the off list responses.
I'm not interested in where the company is located. More specifically, where is 
this mining location? Is it Meteor Crater? It says the meteoric impactor was an 
achondrite.

[meteorite-list] Smithsonian Magazine / Bob Haag

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hello List,

I'm trying to find out about an issue of Smithsonian Magazine that featured Bob 
Haag. If I remember correctly, Bob was holding an iron meteorite maybe Canyon 
Diablo, and he had been flying an ultra light plane, which may have been in the 
image.The picture was probably taken in Arizona. The issue was published in the 
early to mid 1990's. I have asked Bob himself but he doesn't remember. The 
reason I'm interested in this issue in particular is because it was a major 
turning point for me when I read the article. It was the moment I realized that 
I could find a meteorite, something that had never entered my mind prior to 
that day. Through the years that magazine went missing and I'd like to get 
another copy, get Bob to sign it,and  hang it on the wall.

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hi all,

I am proud to introduce the worlds newest recovered meteorite fall
called, Creston.

See it here
http://www.mrmeteorite.com/newcaliforniafall.htm

or keep reading,

This meteorite fell October 23, 2015 near wine country just east of
Paso Robles California in an area called Creston.

To date less than 800 grams (4 small stones) of this fall have been
recovered and nearly all is already locked up in collections.

In fact, as far as we know only the 11 slices below (and 1 end cut)
which were cut from the 102 gram stone pictured at the top of the page
will ever be available.

This meteorite, likely an L6 has shock veins crossing though each
slice. According to the classifying scientist it is a commonly seen
feature in other samples he studied from this fall.

Please call or email if you're interested in a slice!

See it here

Robert Ward is in the field in California, and asked me to pass this along 
to the list!  He recovered the first stone from the fall, and is continuing 
his expedition.

Make sure to click the link below to see the story, along with photos from 
Robert on his Website, robertwardmeteorites.com...

On October 23, 2015, at 0547 UTC, a large fireball lit up the rolling hills 
of wine country east of Paso Robles.

The bolide stunned onlookers with a multitude of colors as it broke up into 
many pieces. The magnitude of the fall was so great that the spectacle was 
even observed several states away. Dozens of witnesses close to the ground 
path heard sonic booms shortly after the fireball terminated.

By the next day, the American Meteor Society had received over 120 reports. 
At first I was confused by what I saw in the data in the various AMS 
reports. As I sorted through a number of eye witness descriptions, it was 
soon clear that there were two events near to one another, both in distance 
and in time. I began working through the reports from the larger event 
individually, narrowing down the area to San Luis Obispo County. And 
focusing on eye witness reports in this area, I found one report in 
particular that caught my attention. The eye witness reported what sounded 
"like bombs falling," and that the meteor had passed directly overhead.

I contacted Marc Fries with the location and suggested the fall was probably 
within a few miles of the eye witnesses location. Within minutes, Marc found 
radar returns in the area that corresponded with the time of the event.

On October 27th, my wife Anne Marie and I arrived in the area under the 
returns Marc Fries had discovered. Within twenty minutes, we found a stone 
that had hit a metal fence post and shattered, showering the road embankment 
with fragments. We recovered 395.7 grams of material from the site and 
subsequently reassembled the majority of the stone.

More here, with pictures:

We'll be posting more pictures, information and details on the expedition as 
the hunt progresses.

My brother in law called me a while ago and said he and my sister saw a large,

Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew a find.

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi John, List,

You may be right about not having a problem getting a US
chondrite classified, however, if it was found in the Mohave desert it is likely
to get a number instead of a name. Unfortunately, Nom Com will likely lump it in
with the nearest DCA, 

I'm wondering how much longer it will be before the
entire Mohave desert is one big DCA like NWA?



Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

I'd love to see a photo also, but I live in Philadelphia so I won't be 
seeingthis in person. :-) That aside,I'm assuming from your post that this is 
a"chondrite" native to the USA, and not just another NWA. I have about 25 
NWA'sundergoing classification now, and I have more I'd like to get classified 
but itis indeed hard to find a lab that will work on NWAs that look like 
obvious OCs. I think that is a mistake on their part, because there are so many 
uniquethings to be found in meteorites.  In my opinion, many labs would 
thinkdifferently about a "native" US chondrite, than an NWA chondrite.  I do 
notthink you will have trouble finding a home for it if it is a USA find.

[meteorite-list] New Lunar Ad

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi List,

I had a lunar meteorite recently classified by Carl Agee. It's NWA 10140. It is 
the only meteorite classified as a troctolitic anorthosite at this time.

Heads up, I listed a 3.88 g slice on ebay for $.99

[meteorite-list] Life Path was High End Collectors

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Greg finished with,

While working with meteorites you never know where your
life path will lead you.

While 'working with meteorites' my life path has
lead me to incredible people and life experiences. In fact, It lead me to more
than one hunt with you Greg!

What you said could not be more true. Meteorites
are special and the endeavor is life long for some. My meteorite career and
experiences are minor compared to many of you people, but non the less fantastic
for me. Meteorites really are the coolest thing on Earth as far as I'm
concerned  and I can't wait to get back to the desert in the Autumn for the 
next big adventure.

Happy
Hunting!


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Re: [meteorite-list] Marissa's meteorite hunt report

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi Marissa, Michael, List,

Call me a softy but that was a touching story! Marissa, I'm so glad that you 
have had this opportunity to experience a dry lake bed, to find a meteorite and 
share in the unique thing that is meteorite hunting. Your story reminded me of 
how fortunate I am and how tough it can be for others. You are a brave and 
courageous person with more guts than most! Shoot, I have perfectly able bodied 
friends that won't hardly leave the couch, let alone go to the desert and hunt 
for the rarest stuff on earth! Good on you!

Michael, what can I say, you rock! I wish I could have been there.

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hello, list.Marissa has posted her trip report on Club 
SpaceRock,http://meteorites.ning.com/forum/topics/official-meteorite-hunting-trip-reports.I'veincluded
 it below, as well.Happy hunting,Michael in so.Cal.Well it's the moment that 
you've all been waiting for, myentirereport on my greatest adventure ever, my 
meteoritehuntingexperience!! Yes it's very long because there was a ton 
toreport!I hope that you all enjoy it because this was all your doing :)Mikeand 
Rogan will probably report their experiences as well. They better!:)this was a 
group effort, the trip wouldn't have gone so perfectwithout eitherof them. 
Enjoy!!!Day 1We boarded our plane at about 6:40am and we werefortunate to get 
toboard first, I got the window seat that I wanted and Icould look 
outperfectly. We took off at 7:20am and it was a great amazingride!Cleveland 
looked beautiful even though it was mostly cloudy, thesunpeaking through only a 
little and the lake was the same color as thesky,I couldn't tell where the 
water ended and the sky began. A fewminutes later wewere above the clouds. They 
were all wavy and itlooked like one big comforterthat you could just land on 
and it'dcatch you. An hour or so later we finallypassed the front and all 
theclouds beneath us and I got my first view of theland from 37,000 feetup, it 
was stunning! The trees formed around rivers, itlooked likeroots under trees or 
the structure of the universe branching outawayfrom the rivers. The landscape 
really did look like a topographicmapwith brown, tan, and green squares and 
rectangules everywhere. Thehouseslooked like sparkles on the earth. Hours later 
we were finallyseeing a changein the land from farm land to desert. Some spots 
weretan and some were red. Weflew over a canyon but I'm not sure if itwas the 
grand canyon but nonethelessit was beautiful, I could see theriver inside the 
canyon. A little later weflew over the tallestmountains that I've ever seen, 
they we completely snowcovered. Anhour or so later we started making our 
decent, once we passedthecloud cover Vegas was in site and it was huge!!! I 
could seethestratosphere standing tall and all the hotels and casinos. 
Thepilotlanded the plane so beautifully and smooth. We made our way 
throughtheridiculously huge airport trying to find the baggage claim, we hadto 
get on anAmtrak to get to the baggage claim area. Once we gotthere I saw a 
young manwaving at me, I had no idea who this was andthought for a moment that 
someoneI knew from Ohio came too and Icouldn't remember them. He walked over 
and tomy surprise it wasRogan! I was in shock, I had no idea he would come. 
Ihad asked along time ago if he could be there but he couldn't give me 
astraightanswer and lead me to believe that he couldn't go. I was so 
happythathe actually came! From there we got our rental van and we 
drovethroughlas Vegas Blvd to check out the Vegas scene. I'll only be hereonce 
so I had tosee the city. We stopped at New York New York for anamazing 
breakfast followedby the hard rock cafe and some gambling. Icouldn't believe 
that they actuallyhad Vegas showgirls out on thesidewalks. After that we headed 
to pahrump whereour hotel was tochange for dinner, we had reservations to the 
Top of TheWorldrestaurant in the stratosphere hotel and casino. During the 
drivebackthrough the mountains we saw a rain cloud and a 
beautifulrainbowembedded inside. The view was stunning, the restaurant was 
amazingandthe food was incredible! There were people bungee jumping off the 
sideofthe building. Our waiter was so good that when I asked for 
plasticsilverwareand he said that they had none he actually went to 
anotherplace in thebuilding to get me some. The service was amazing. Wefinished 
a bottle of roseabaringer wine it was very good. Once it gotcompletely dark the 
lights in thedistance were shimmering like starsin the sky. We sat enjoying the 
viewwatching the moon and Venus setin the distance.Day 2Michael Mulgrew

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hi Anne, List,

I for one am sad to see the decline in list activity. I've been on here for 
many years and I miss the multiple, daily posts that we used to get. It was 
such an active, fun, educational, and entertaining place! (sometimes a little 
mean, too)

 I joined facebook some time ago so as not to feel as out dated as I actually 
am : ) and to keep up with the times. Unfortunately for me, I don't seem to get 
the joy from facebook that the met list of old gave me. I have barely said 2 
words on facebook. I really can't put my finger on what the disconnect is, but 
it's there. Perhaps it's the snippets of info instead of more details, maybe 
it's the hundreds of people that want to be my 'friend' that I've never heard 
of. Maybe I feel like it's going to be to much of a commitment once I dive in? 
On top of all this is the privacy issue, real or imagined.

The future is knocking and I know it's only a matter of time before I have to 
give in to change so as not to go socially extinct! 


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

[meteorite-list] Classification Correction- Gold Basin

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hello List,

For those that were paying attention to the Gold Basin thread, I made a mistake 
and sent the classification details for the wrong meteorite! I had several 
stones classified at the same time and I copied the write up for a different 
L6, not GB. Here's the correct info.

UCLA (Rubin, Breen)

specimen 1938, received October 2, 2014, 1 piece, 66.2 g
L6  S5W2
olivine: Fa 23.3±0.2 (n=11); low-Ca pyroxene: Fs20.2±0.7 Wo1.0±0.2 (n=15)

The rock exhibits strong mosacisim and contains maskelynite. Polycrystalline 
troilite is present.  Some metal grains contain small, irregularly shaped 
troilite grains within them. 

Thanks to everyone for the congrat's and kind words.



Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

[meteorite-list] Gold Basin

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

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.

UCLA (Rubin, Breen)

received August 18, 2014, 2 pieces, 23.7 g
L6  S4  W1
olivine: Fa 23.9±0.2 (n=15); low-Ca pyroxene: Fs20.3±0.3 Wo1.6±0.2
(n=12)

plagioclase grains are typically 60-100 µm in size. The rock exhibits
weak mosacisim but does not contain maskelynite.

Larry Atkins

Re: [meteorite-list] Re-2: Gold Basin

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hello Bernd, All,

Conclusions. The radionuclide results in fifteen
new L chondrite specimens from the Gold Basin area
indicate that all samples are part of the same shower,
which should be classified as an L4-6 chondrite breccia.

This paragraph refers to the HW stones Bob V. submitted.

Larry Atkins

To be more clear, Bobs Hualapai Wash stones are L6 but it was concluded 
they are paired to GB. My hope is that these new finds will bring about 
an update to the Met Bull.

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

List,

I need to try and recoup some of my expenses recently incurred while
chasing rocks.

I'd like to sell a large, 2.092 kg, probable Gold Basin individual. 
This is a fantastic looking stone with a smooth exterior covering a 
fair portion. I'm open to offers. I have many smaller pieces

I'd sell as well. If you're a dealer and want some weight, we can talk.

Also, I have slices of NWA 7888. A rare LL7 ! TKW is 497g. $10.00/g
Slices vary in weight, let me know what you want.

Email me for pic's or call to discuss. 248-842-8095

Congratulations to Joe and Larry on this great accomplishment, 20 years 
after the original discovery of the Gold Basin meteorite! That is some 
seriously remote and challenging terrain you have tackled to extend the 
known strewn field. And your conscientious efforts to document and 
share find data set a great example for all who plan to follow in your 
footsteps. It’s a great day for all of us who have enjoyed hunting Gold 
Basin, and bodes well for future hunting trips.All the best,Doug

[meteorite-list] Global Meteorite Price Report 2015

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Hello List,

It's been quite a while since I've posted to the list but I thought I'd 
comment on Kevin Kichinka's price report. I must admit that I've not 
purchased it in the past, though it sounded interesting. Maybe I was 
afraid to see how much I overpaid for some of my specimens, or how 
little I sold one of my finds for, etc.. As luck would have it, somehow 
I managed to win his contest on the Chely event and part of my prize 
was a free copy of the report. After reading all 33 pages I must say I 
found it very informative, comprehensive, useful, interesting, and 
entertaining! I have found it to be a 'must have' for the future and I 
encourage those of you on the fence to go ahead and make the purchase, 
you will not be disappointed.


Kevin is an excellent writer, as demonstrated in his articles written 
for Meteorite  and his book  The Art of Collecting Meteorites which 
I bought a year or so ago, another must have for collectors.


Thanks for the contributions Kevin!

Best Wishes to All during this Holiday Season,



Sincerely,
Larry Atkins
