Re: [meteorite-list] LAUNCH OF GLOBAL METEORITE ASSOCIATION, INC.

[Sergey Vasiliev via Meteorite-list]

Hello Mendy,
I'm surprised to see the pictures of Steinbach and Aletai that you
took from EoM on your new website. One is from approved images and the
other one is from private collection.

I hope you asked for the permission to use them.
Best regards,
Sergey

Re: [meteorite-list] New fall, Nkayi Zimbabwe

[Sergey Vasiliev via Meteorite-list]

Hello List,
If you are looking for the same day but different years then you can
use this service.
It is a bit outdated statistic based on MetBase data. MetBase has a
day of fall/find and MetBull doesn't. That's why not all the recent
falls are listed. But still you can play with this to see how many
falls/finds where recovered the particular day. Just choose the day
and check:
http://sv-meteorites.com/play_with_statistic.aspx

 Actually with Cartersville and Nkayi, two recovered falls on the same day has

 I bought the entire remaining mass which was a large fragment of 8
 kilos and about 4 kilos of fragments.
 For sale today $20 gram.
 It is the only meteorite ever available from Zimbabwe.
 Pieces from ~1 gram to 676 grams available.

Hello everybody,


To answer the many requests received recently regarding the 2015
Ensisheim-Meteorite show dates, please note:

June 19 to Sunday June 21 (always the week preceding the
Ste-Marie-aux-Mines Mineral show). Same place (Regency Palace)

The show organization is being substantially restructurated and the

Re: [meteorite-list] the new fall of Foum El Hisn report

[Sergey Vasiliev via Meteorite-list]

Thanks for the report Pierre-Marie!
Did you find any yourself?
Sergey

On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 2:31 PM, Pelé Pierre-Marie
meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com wrote:

 Hello to the List  !

 Me and Fabien Kuntz (wwmeteorites) planned to go to Kosice this week to enjoy 
 slovakian food and have great fun searching for meteorites in the forests 
 when we heard on july 11 that a meteorite had fallen in southern Morocco.

 So we changed our plane tickets, rented a car then on july 12, we arrived in 
 Agadir. We headed to Foum El Hisn, 250 kilometers south-east of Agadir and we 
 arrived there in the afternoon. We had a short break at the hotel then we 
 went directly to the place.but first, the facts.

 On july 9 in the evening, people from Foum El Hisn heard three detonations 
 and saw a bolide fragmenting in three parts, south of their town.  After 
 recovering several testimonies, the supposed trajectory is north-west to 
 south-east.

 In the morning of july 10, some inhabitants recovered the first specimen on 
 both sides of the road to Assa. Some pictures were published on Facebook 
 showing wonderful shiny crust like an eucrite.  It was enough to decide us to 
 come.

 We arrived 48 hours after the fall and hundreds of people were already 
 searching by foot or 4wd cars.
 The western part of the strewnfield is a alluvial rocky plain with hills 
 wereas the eastern part is more sandy and flat.

 We thought about a fall like Camel Donga or Puerto Lapice with many small 
 complete stones between 1 and 15 grams. In the facts, we found many morrocan 
 meteorite hunters (best hunters in the world) with empty hands dreaming of 
 Tissint martian meteorites.

 After several days hunting on the strewnfield, we only saw a 500 grams 
 specimen, heard about a 8kg stone (probably gossip) and 1kg, 200 grams 
 stones, saw 4 or 5 stones of about 50 grams, a few complete stones up to 5 
 grams and many crumbs because of the friable nature of the stone.
 Now, morocan people are bored with searching in the morning when weather is 
 acceptable and have a rest in the afternoon when temperature reaches 45 
 degrees Celsius. We estimate the total known mass under 5.5 kilograms right 
 now.

 Today, june 17, we went again to the strewnfield but most people have left 
 the area.

 We are waiting for the analysis results, next week probably.

Re: [meteorite-list] Anyone using Metbase?

[Sergey Vasiliev via Meteorite-list]

Hello Mike, Peter, All,
Unfortunately MetBase is not working on the MS OS systems above
Windows XP. At least on my PC. I'm keeping MS XP on my computer just
for that!
I do like MetBase very much and hope that Joern will adjust it for the
new Windows OSs. Even without updates for the new meteorites entries,
just with the old database.
I'm personally using MetBase database for my website. I like that I
can use the actual day/month of fall/find to show it
(http://sv-meteorites.com/) on the right column.
Unfortunately MetBull has no data like this.
Best!
Sergey

 Hi Mike,

 Metbase is my first stop when looking for info on a meteorite. If I
 want to add a sample to my collection the repository info is a great help.
 If I want to learn more about the meteorite the list of references is
 awesome, it is almost as good as having Bernd Pauli beside you. The only
 problem is that it needs to be updated. If there was an update available I
 would purchase it in an instant. My guess is that the online database of the
 Meteoritical society has cut into the demand for Metbase. It shouldn't,
 Metbase has a great multivariate search function that leaves the Met
 society's database in the dust. I hope that Metbase is updated soon, I need
 a new disk and would love more info on more meteorites.

 Thanks,

 Peter

 Subject: [meteorite-list] Anyone using Metbase?

 Hi List,

 I was looking at the MetBase website and was curious if anyone here is
 currently using the MetBase software.  Do you find it useful and is it worth
 the investment?

 I noticed that the last update listed on the website was scheduled for 2012.
 Is it still being updated?

 Best regards,

 MikeG
