Re: [meteorite-list] Octahedrites density

[Murray Paulson via Meteorite-list]

As Anne Black remarked, Ocathedrites are a member of the Iron group of
meteorites.

I have measured the Sg of some of my Octahedrites...

Cape York at 7.89 gm/cc,
Whitecourt Iron 7.67 gm/cc
Gibeon Iron at 7.89 gm/cc

Hi Tommy:

A quick search shows that the scientists are on it and it is an
intriguing rock. The interstellar interloper that passed through the
solar system recently shows us that there is material from outside our
solar system and maybe these guys have found such a sample. Very cool!

 I think all Chinese goods should be taken off of the U.S. market until
 they are
 proven worthy.  Fake Chinese medications that made it into American
 pharmacies
 almost killed my mother-in-law.

 I had a GE microwave that failed after 13 months.  I thought it had a
 lifetime
 warranty but after reading the small print it was a limited lifetime
 warranty  The only things covered for a lifetime were the hinges, door
 handle and power cord.  The rest was covered for 12 months.  I turned
 it around
 and was appalled to see the made in China sticker on the back of a GE
 appliance!  I also had an Igloo stainless steel bar fridge fail after 8
 months
 with nearly the same warranty as the GE appliance. I was simply out the
 money on
 the GE but got a new Igloo fridge which failed again after 14 months.Â
 It could
 have caught my garage on fire as it was a smoker!


 Doesn't anybody take pride in workmanship these days?

 I think fake Chinese fossils, meteorites, artifacts, gemstones and
 anything else
 they can make a buck on are the least of our concerns!  I am sure
 people have
 died due to bogus Chinese medications.  I won't touch generic meds!Â
 It
 seems these days our own government cares very little otherwise they
 would do
 something about it.

 No dash cameras have been produced for public consumption at sub-D1
 in at least five years.  Mobile DVRs will often offer CIF for
 multiple channel recording however (a limitation of the NTSC or PAL
 scan converter).

 640x280 is a non-existent format, as that would be 0.4375, not ending
 on a byte boundary.  You're thinking of 240 lines. And it wouldn't be
 640 (square pixels), it would be 704.  Or perhaps you're thinking of
 SIF in a 525 line domain, which would be 352x240, or CIF in the 625
 line domain (352x288).

 The container format was, in fact, MP4.  The codec used for
 compression was AVC.  AVC is aka MPEG4 AVC (Advanced Video Codec),
 which is also known as h.264 **see below.

 The original submitted video was 1080p.  Youtube has offered 1080p
 since 2009.   
 http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/11/1080p-hd-comes-to-youtube.html

 We can see the offered streams from youtube as/per:
 http://www.spaceballoon.org/available-streams.jpg


 There is no such video container or codec as pmg that I'm aware of -
  Would you provide the FOURCC for that?

  My stills are in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) as I noted
 originally.  __MPG__ is the Motion
 Pictures expert Group [of which I've been a member off-and-on as well
 as on several working groups over the years), and MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, MPEG 
 AVC (aka h.264,
 aka MPEG7 aka MPEG4 Layer 7, etc.) are all possible with additional 
 qualifications of things
 such as differing levels of motion prediction, different transport
 layers, and different containers.



 Now, would you like to say anything else incredibly stupid, or would
 you like to apologize for attacking me in your blind ignorance and we
 can just let it go?

 willing to go on the record and be quoted (does not have to be in relation

 Let me get this in perspective.  25,000+ meteorites are locked up in ANSMET
 deep freezers wholly available to researchers only.  Another  31,000+? non
 ANSMET ( ANSMET and METBUL figures) are in the met bulletin.  All meteorites
 passing muster have between 100% and 20% owned by approved/certified
 institutions of curation.

 As Emma Peel the Wendy's Lady might have said...Where's the beef?

 So please someone somewhere give me the name of a credentialed researcher
 anywhere in the world that cannot get hold of specific material to do their
 research? Were it not for the collector community there would not be the
 1000's of newly found meteorites available in the first place.

 How many confirmed but non-NONCOM approved, distinct meteorites are totally
 in private hands without a speck available for research?  Does anyone on the
 list have an unclassified NWA that would not gladly share a portion if a
 scientist came calling?

 The blurb bout selling it illegally on ebay is outright fear mongering. If
 he is a maritime law expert shouldn't he be calling us pirates as well?
 And speaking of slander, why is no one publicly concerned about Jennskins'
 interviews where he talks about Outlaw meteorite huntersand the meteorite
 black market? Give me an answer and I'll hold my tongue and(Chicago
 convention excepted) speak no more of it.  I do not care that he is Mister
 Meteor nor that he may be world renown but he shouldn't be given a pass on
 his uninformed public statements regarding our community.  I really would
 like to see his direct response published, should he ever again be misquoted
 like the black market statements regarding the Gabal Kamal Iron. We would
 have his position on record.  Better yet, if he truly understood from an
 informed position he might never make disparaging comments to reporters.

 Which brings us to the other meteorite law logical fallacy: Cultural
 property and Doug Schmitt's building on the cultural heritage defense to
 outlaw private ownership of meteorites.  Where a meteorite should land is
 random so its ascension to protected native heritage/cultural object is
 unfounded.  I understand Willemitte and Hoba, perhaps Cape York owing to
 separate reasons.  If they were men of integrity they would just pass their
 LOCAL laws regarding meteorite ownership. And let the rest of the world be.
 By using cultural object status they are violating their own obligation to
 preserve in tact and not slice it up for study.

 Elton

 PS:  So according to Schmitt's TED talk only iron meteorites originate in
 the asteroid belt and are the oldest objects in the universe(sic)

 Thanks to the miracle of modern refrigeration, I've just utilized the
 'last breast' from Thanksgiving to make Turkey Chowder for dinner. As
 a single guy living alone, there's probably some symbolism there.

 To work off the enzymes and growth hormones knowingly consumed in that
 last breast, I stepped out on my patio with a glass of Chilean wine I
 poured out of a box. The second I opened the door, the choir of
 crickets cut off their chorus.

 Hey, it's just me. Sing on! I requested in Spanish.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fusion Crust

[Murray Paulson]

HI Chris:

Remember that most meteorites go into dark flight at 30 or so km above
the earth. The atmosphere is very thin up there maybe 10 milibars and
is probably similar to the Martian atmosphere near the surface. Of
course the terminal velocity would be quite high and the meteorite
would hit the ground at quite a high velocity!

 Hi Chris,

 This is an interesting question. I would imagine for a meteorite to survive a 
 landing on Mars,
 that it would have to slow down to a degree. The only mechanism is friction 
 with the atmosphere.
 The extreme speed should be enough to create a plasma, and so a fusion crust 
 should form. It might
 well be pretty thin, but i believe a crust would form.

Spitzer Sees Crystal Rain in Infant Star Outer Clouds 05.26.11


PASADENA, Calif. -- Tiny crystals of a green mineral called olivine are 
falling down like rain on a burgeoning star,
according to observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

This is the first time such crystals have been observed in the dusty clouds 
of gas that collapse around forming stars.
Astronomers are still debating how the crystals got there, but the most 
likely culprits are jets of gas blasting away from the embryonic star.

You need temperatures as hot as lava to make these crystals, said Tom 
Megeath of the University of Toledo in Ohio.
He is the principal investigator of the research and the second author of a 
new study appearing in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
We propose that the crystals were cooked up near the surface of the forming 
star, then carried up into the surrounding cloud where
temperatures are much colder, and ultimately fell down again like glitter.

Re: [meteorite-list] The Interest In Meteorites

[Murray Paulson]

Hi Bob  list:

I will caution you on the possible loss of valuable data on the
resampling the photos to too small a size. We have seen as time goes
by, the available bandwidth and storage capacity increases, and the
300 x 250 images will be vaguely reminicent of the 320 x 240 videos
you skip over on Youtube. We don't need 5 Mb image files, but some
happy medium would be nice. Please don't resize the images to a less
than useful size.

I have looked at 300, 480, 640, 800 and 1024 pixel long dimension
images and 640 to 800 are the minimum I would resample things down to.
I thank the efforts to put up the EOM and it is a great reference.

Murray Paulson

 Hi All,
 I will also add that one of the features we built into the EoM is that when 
 an image is
 submitted that it automatically is resized to not consume a large amount of 
 band width; if
 someone posts an image that has not been resized (many are 5mb and larger) it 
 is reduced to
 around 300 x 250 pixels to help with not only size of data base but also to 
 allow picture to
 load faster when you select to view full size.

 Glad that everyone is enjoying the EoM and it is with all the images it is 
 becoming a solid
 data base for visual reference.
 Thanks to everyone for some of their outstanding images they have shared.

 Can You Legally Own a Piece of the Moon?
 A Moon rock on Mt. Everest: Not for keeps Mr. Ian Sheffield of Edinburgh
 Scotland is miffed. He claims to have not one, but two dust samples of the
 Moon-one from the Apollo 11 mission and another from the Apollo 15 mission.
 He explains that he bought these lunar samples from a dealer about 3 years
 ago. The article does not indicate how much he paid for them, but he does
 allow that each is valued at around £2000 (about $3300) each.
 A problem arose when he planned to display his samples to the public. He
 apparently wrote to NASA asking if he could exhibit them. To his
 astonishment, NASA refused to give him permission and demanded the return of
 the samples, claiming that the lunar dust in his possession was property of
 the United States government.
 Mr. Sheffield's story of how the samples came into his possession is
 interesting. He states the dust came off a camera film pack to which a
 technician in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory was accidentally exposed.
 Because no one was sure the lunar samples would not contain some possible
 primitive (and pathogenic) organisms when the Apollo 11 crew first returned
 to Earth, they had to spend three weeks in quarantine. Anybody in the LRL
 exposed to lunar material was compelled to join the astronauts in their
 quarantine. The technician who was exposed went into isolation and (the
 story claims) upon his release, was given the dust as a memento.
 My antennae went up at this point. No lunar samples are given to private
 individuals. Each piece of the Moon returned by the Apollo astronauts is
 carefully accounted for and resides in the Lunar Curatorial Facility in
 Houston, where they are kept in two separate hurricane-proof vaults. Many
 lunar samples are loaned to scientific institutions for study. The only
 lunar samples given away (of which I am aware) were to about a hundred
 national leaders during President Nixon's 1969 world tour. The beautiful
 Space Window in the Washington National Cathedral, honoring man's landing
 on the Moon, holds a 7.18-gram basalt from Mare Tranquillitatis, on loan to
 the Cathedral. Other moon rocks were presented to the Apollo astronauts (and
 Walter Cronkite) in 2004. However, each plaque came with a catch: the lunar
 samples can not be personally held by the recipients, and must be displayed
 at a local school or museum. Recently, Astronaut Scott Parazynski was loaned
 a sample of the Moon's regolith that he carried to the summit of Mount
 Everest.
 Some diplomatic gifts of lunar samples have found their way onto the black
 market. A notorious case is a sample presented to the people of Honduras
 back in 1969. This sample turned up during a NASA Inspector General sting
 which was designed to catch dealers of fake lunar samples. To the agents'
 surprise, they were offered a genuine lunar rock: asking price, $5 million.
 A meeting was arranged and the rock (and presumably, the seller) was seized.
 Another lunar sample was stolen from a museum in Malta between 1990 and
 1994; it was recovered in another sting operation in 1998.
 The federal government forbids private ownership of any Apollo sample.
 Yet, such samples show up every now and then. The most common form they take
 is dust stuck to adhesive tape (an easy way to clean the surface of some
 exposed sample container, tool, or space suit used on the lunar surface).
 Mr. Sheffield's sample is likely to be one of these pieces. Its status, I
 was surprised to find out, is legally uncertain. Although NASA has sued in
 court to recover any such bootleg sample, no prosecution has succeeded,
 except for those caught (literally) in the act of theft. In an embarrassing
 incident for NASA, a summer intern and two companions carried a safe full of
 lunar samples out of a building at Johnson Space Center (as Dave Barry would
 say, I am not making this up). They were apprehended while trying to sell
 them at bargain basement prices and subsequently prosecuted.
 It was rumored for years that several of the Apollo

 I emailed the guy anyway and asked about the weight. His response was a

 I think I'll apply his concept to my bidding - I will only divulge the

Hi Marco:

The short lived isotopes decayed 4.5 - 4.6 or so billion years ago,
and only warmed the acreeted asteroid at that time. They are but a

As for hot rocks. I found Buzzard coulee specimens in the spring time
2009. The ones that were exposed to the sun, were nice and warm,
almost hot, when we picked them up. : )

 In more speculative moments, I have pondered a few times whether the decay
 of very shortlived radioisotopes in meteorites could play a role in reports
 of glowing and hot fresh-fallen meteorites as well. That is pure
 speculation that will probably not hold on closer scrutiny, however.

Dear List:

When Murray Paulson and I came across the fellow who found the 7 kg
Buzzard Coulee there was a distinct smell, to me at least. There was a
hint of something sulphurous but more kind of a organic swampy smell.
Then for some reason a scent of new-mown hay popped into my mind.

We came about 10 minutes after the meteorite had been pulled out the
shallow hole it had created.
Murray took a picture and I took down the GPS coordinates.

For a great picture of the event see Bruce McCurdy's Buzzard web site:

This was 12 days after the meteor fell in frozen winter conditions.

 Well Jason, I certainly could be wrong.
 I just hate to see anybody here get burned.
 My eyes can't tell for sure that those are fresh, fusion-crusted stones,
 as opposed to little black earth rocks, due to the photo quality.
 They do look somewhat probable though, I'll admit.
 The larger problem to me, is the export permit.
 Was there any mention of that when you spoke?

 Melanie, Linton,
 The photos depict what are clearly fresh stony meteorites, regardless
 of their quality (viz., the photos').
 This seller is a local and has been selling Buzzard Coulee stones
 since shortly after the fall.
 I've spoken with them on a few occasions, and, while I haven't
 actually purchased any stones, they do seem to be on the level.
 Regards,
 Jason

 Melanie,
 No, I do not know the seller.
 The poor quality photos are just a nuisance.
 The text indicates to me that the seller does not know meteorites.
 Sounds like he took a few notes from someone elses legitimate ad.
 No mention of export permits is a giant red flag, though.
 You could always ask him/her about that. I almost did.
 The price/gram is sure a lot lower though, eh?
 Almost too good to be true, isn't it...
 And you know what they say about that!

 Worldwide shipping and no mention of an export permit for any of them?
 Anyone here know this person and if he/she is for real?

Re: [meteorite-list] eBay meteorite and crater

[Murray Paulson]

Hi:

Did any of you notice that the crater looks kind of fresh, but the
meteorite looks far from fresh, more likely hundreds of years old?
This one smells! P.T. Barnum said something about the likes of the
bidders!

Re: [meteorite-list] Keeping a meteorite database

[Murray Paulson]

Hi:

What is the cost of this software after the evaluation period. I hate
to load stuff up on my computer just to have to un-install it in a
month or two's time because it quits working and I balk at the cost to
continue using it.

I presently use Excel

Cheers

 Hi Steve  List,

 I would also be interested if something already exists...

 But making a database (using just Excel or other similar spreadsheet
 program, I'm also okay using MS Access) wouldn't be hard, but what
 fields should be included?

 Since I'm also new to collecting, I wouldn't know off the top of my head

 what notes to make sure I record with my acquisitions...

 I've noticed that generic info about a meteorite is usually included in
 the eBay descriptions and that's easy enough to copy, but what things
 about my specific specimen should I take note of??

 Also, any advice on how best to display them? (one came with an acrylic
 easel...)

 (11 meteorites with 2 on the way)

 Clear Skies!
 Elizabeth

 Greetings list,

 I remember several years ago that one of the list members (I think)
 had a meteorite database available on CD. It was simply a matter of
 downloading to your computer and it formed the framework for keeping
 all pertinent info on your collection, including a place for photos.

 Is there something like this still available? If not I would like to
 ask that those that do catalogue their collections please give me some

 ideas on what programs you are using. I really have no idea of where
 to start. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. And if
 there are any computer geeks on the list, a CD like the one I
 mentioned would probably sell quite well here on the list.

 thanx,
 Steve
