[meteorite-list] WANTED: Holbrook stones from historic sources (Nininger, Monnig, Univ. Mexico...)

2013-01-03 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Dear list,

I'm looking to develop my sub-collection of Holbrook stones from historic 
sources. The rule is simple: the stone must have a painted number or original 
label or both, from a museum or from an early 20th century private collection.

I already have some from AMNH, Smithsonian, Berger, Krantz and others.

Since many meteorites were deaccessioned recently from the University of New 
Mexico, I thought that there might be some Holbrook from there available. I'm 
also actively looking for Holbrook stones with Nininger, Huss and Monnig 
numbers/labels

Please contact me if you have anything for sale or trade ( 
http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/tradelist.html )

Thank you and a Happy New Year to all,

Arnaud

PS: Note my latest post on natural history specimens in antique vials on the TC 
website, Figure 3 shows some nice meteorites

[meteorite-list] AD - about 50 signed / inscribed books on meteorites

2012-11-12 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Dear all,

I decided to sell the Signed  Inscribed Books section of the Library of 
Meteoritics of The Tricottet Collection.

It corresponds to about 50 references, collected most of them one by one, over 
the years. The references (books and article offprints) span from the late 19th 
century to nowadays. Authors include Buchwald, Fletcher, Nininger and many 
more. The lot also contains a rare series of Russian articles, all 
signed/inscribed, from the Brian Mason estate.

See list here (refs. followed by [available] only): 
http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/library_met_inscribed.html
See all references available here: 
http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/library_met_4saletrade.html

I will consider any serious offer on the complete set or on individual 
references.
Trades (for meteorite collection catalogues) are also possible.

Thank you for your interest,

 Subject: [meteorite-list] What is Chladni's book on 18 meteorite falls
 title??
 
 Hello Listers
 
 I am wondering if any of you history meteorite buffs by chance know the name 
 of Chladni's book he wrote on 18 meteorites falls and if there might be an 
 English pdf version floating around on the Internet or somewhere else? Also, 
 I was trying to look for a copy of the paper titled On Some Stones Allegedly 
 Fallen from the Heaven published in 1790 by Abbe Andreas Xavier Stutz which 
 Chladni extensively quoted from when he was writing his book.

2012-01-23 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Dear all,

I'm currently working on a manuscript on the Monnig collection, soon to be 
submitted to Meteorite magazine. This paper will include some electronic 
supplementary material:

http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/pub_met_MonnigNumbers_suppl_Table1b.html

It is a catalog of Tulia, Dimmitt and Kaffir (c) meteorites with early Monnig 
number. As you can see, the table is almost empty for now, but I hope that with 
your help it will change. So if you have any Monnig specimen with EARLY number 
(NOT just the TCU-Huss Mxx.xx number), can you please contact me off list? I 
would need the following information:

Monnig no., TCU-Huss no., weight, if possible chain-of-custody. For now, there 
is no plan to make a repository of images, but photographs are welcome.


Thank you for your help,

Arnaud

[meteorite-list] Biography of Oscar E. Monnig

2011-09-19 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Oscar E. Monnig (1902-1999), lawyer by training, worked his entire life in his 
family's wholesale and retail business in Fort Worth, Texas, to finally become 
CEO of the same company. He began collecting meteorites in the early 1930s. 
Autodidact, he amassed one of the most important private meteorite collections 
of the 20th century and played a significant role in the Meteoritics community. 
On his spare time, he helped recover new meteorite falls and old finds, some of 
which may have been lost to science without his thorough investigations...

 Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] San Juan Capistrano
 
 SJC fell in a trailer park next to I-5, where the occupants were 
 probably used to loud rumbling noises and didn't pay it much mind.  And 
 the rolling grassy hills are exactly what is under development - 172 
 acres of it.
 
 There's no guarantee that there are more SJC meteorites to be found, but 
 if guarantees are what you're looking for then you've got the wrong 
 hobby! The area to be developed is brushland that abuts the trailer 
 park, and if anyone does want to find more SJC then its really the only 
 option as everything else is paved. The development could be a blessing, 
 if only the gomers in charge would give me the courtesy of returning my 
 calls.  They'll have to remove brush and disturb the soil, which would 
 be a nice target for some metal detecting.
 
 Anyways; it's out there if anyone is interested.  My own Plan B is to 
 contact individual homeowners in the new development, show them some 
 meteorites, and tell them to keep an eye out.
 
 Cheers,
 Marc

  Hello All,
 
  I've gotten the impression from the emails on the list that people
  believe that this fall consisted of two separate stones.  The fall
  consisted of a single stone that fell without sonic effects or any
  real witnesses; a neighbor recalled hearing a loud noise (when the
  stone likely hit the awning that it penetrated), but, had it not been
  for the astuteness of the homeowner whose property was damaged, the
  fall would likely have gone unnoticed.
 
  The fragment mentioned as having been found in a gutter a month later
  was found in the gutter of the same awning that the main mass
  penetrated, and most likely broke off of the main mass when it hit the
  awning.
 
  It would undoubtedly be worthwhile to look for other fragments in the
  surrounding area, but we must put things in perspective.  Since
  strewn-fields are almost always miles in width, let alone length, the
  fact that the relatively tiny development is being resurfaced seems
  unimportant, at least to me.  The area is bordered by rolling grassy
  hills that are in no immediate danger of being developed.
 
  - To say nothing of the fact that the illegal night-time hunting
  for/of new Canyon Diablo specimens is apparently widely accepted by
  our collecting community.
 
  California's second witnessed fall was heralded by a witnessed, large,
  fragmenting fireball; there's more of that to be found, for those who
  have the time and are experienced backpackers...

  Jason

 Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] copyright questions - newspaper articles  
 correspondence

 Hi Arnaud,

 I've got some experience with US copyright law and will outline it the
 best I can:

 1. Works published before 1978 remain protected under copyright law
 for 75 years from the date of their original publication. Works
 published on or after January 1, 1978 as protected by copyright laws
 until 50 years after the death of the author.

 2. As for the newspaper no longer existing, I believe the above rule
 applies. If the newspaper company owned the copyright (i.e. the
 article was written by a staff member) then the copyright will expire
 based on it's publication date as described above. If it was reader
 contributed or written by a person who was not employed by the
 newspaper, then the author owns the copyright, and not the newspaper
 and the date of death would apply.

 3. Your intended use for educational, non-commercial value would most
 likely be viewed as fair use based on the mission of your
 organization, however given the very public nature of the web and your
 desire to be as clean as possible legally, I would suggest that you
 spend a little money for advice from an attorney who specializes in
 copyright law. A few hundred dollars now could be well worth the
 savings if a disgruntled person saw their information published on a
 public website without their permission.

 4. I am not familiar with copyrights laws and how they apply to
 personal correspondence. Surely documents that you have written are
 yours freely to use, however the ones written by others may be a
 different story. I'm not going to say any more on this because I
 simply don't know.

 There are lots of restrictions of fair use too...so be mindful that
 just because a person intends to use a published work for educational
 purposes that you can use another person's work in its entirety.
 Restrictions are in place that limit how much of a work can be used,
 even for educational purposes. There are also time limits in some
 instances, in instances known as 'spontaneous' copies. An example of
 this would be if a story was just published and waiting to obtain
 copyright permission for educational use would cause the loss of
 educational value, then fair use comes into play. Even then there are
 still restrictions on the amount of the source that may be copied and
 the amount of images that may be copies as well. In my opinion, it's
 worth getting an informed decision by someone qualified.

 Mind you, I am not an attorney, but simply a teacher who has done
 research on this in the past.

http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/met_dalgaranga.html

The Dalgaranga meteorite crater (c. 20 m in diameter and 3 m deep) was first 
described by Dr. Edward S. Simpson [Simpson, 1938, ref. wanted]. His report 
stated that the crater had first been seen by G. E. Willard, manager of the 
Dalgaranga Station (ranch) in 1923. Simpson did not visit the crater and only 
quoted Willard who also sent him a 42-gram meteoritic fragment. Simpson 
described it as an iron. No one undertook to visit the site until Harvey. H. 
Nininger inquired about the crater's location at the Western Australian Museum 
in Perth in early 1959...

[meteorite-list] Cold asteroids may have a soft heart

2011-04-08 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Sorry if already posted...

A new analysis of one of the most well-known meteorites on Earth provides 
strong evidence that the prevailing view of many asteroids is wrong. Rather 
than randomly mixed blobs of rock and dust stuck together, it appears that the 
asteroid that was the source of the Allende meteorite was large enough to have 
had a molten core, even though its surface remained cold and solid. The new 
view also suggests that astronomers’ view of how planets like the Earth formed 
may need revision...

2011-03-16 Thread The Tricottet Collection

First thank you all for your nice comments.

Gary, I thought the same thing but I would not trust their typewriters. You can 
see for example that they used the letter I instead of the number 1 for 
that specimen: 
http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/img/img_met/1-5_SikhoteAlin_SAS.jpg
Or maybe the 8 is stretched because of the soft sticker.

Moreover, it seems that all early numbers are very large masses.

 Congratulations Dr Mignon on your acquisition of a beautiful specimen of 
 Sikhote Alin.  The label I would interpret as 0098 because the lower loop of 
 the number 8 type is usually larger than the upper one in typewriters during 
 that time period, even if it does not jive with Fesenkov  Krinov SA catalog.

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of Day - March 16, 2011

2011-03-16 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Dear Rob,

thank you so so much for sharing these photographs as well as these 2001 posts! 
Very informative.

Gary, you are right, must be #0098 then!

I will do more research and update my S-A page accordingly

 Hi Arnaud (and List),
 
 The label talk reminded me of a Sikhote Alin Label discussion we had on this
 List about 10 years ago (how time flies...)
 As the List archives only go back to 2004, I added two of the Emails
 below. I think they contain information that may be of interest to you.
 Not all of the links in there are working, but I reloaded mine.
 
 Here are some more photos of labeled  S-A's, I collected back then (the
 photos!).
 Don't remember the sources. I hope the owners will forgive me posting
 without asking permission:

 First thank you all for your nice comments.
 
 Gary, I thought the same thing but I would not trust their typewriters. You
 can see for example that they used the letter I instead of the number 1
 for that specimen:
 http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/img/img_met/1-5_SikhoteAlin_SAS.jpg
 Or maybe the 8 is stretched because of the soft sticker.
 
 Moreover, it seems that all early numbers are very large masses.

 Arnaud

 Onderwerp: [meteorite-list] Numbering of Meteorites + Krinov Book [long]
 
 Dear Dave, Rob, Steve, and List:
 
 I'd like to return to the thread from a few days back, when Dave Harris, Rob
 Lenssen, Steve Schoner and I were discussing labels on some old collection
 Sikhote-Alins. Collection numbers interest me, so I've done a bit more
 research over the past few days.
 
 Just to recap: Dave and I both recently acquired nice, uncleaned and
 slightly rusted Sikhotes from Rob Wesel (thanks Rob). They carry a white
 gauze label, with four-digit typewritten collection numbers. 
 Steve Schoner was quite certain these are Russian National Academy of
 Sciences numbers, and Rob provided some useful info and photos, and also had
 a labelling question (I think I have your answer, Rob, see below). However,
 the actual numbers on our specimens don't match Krinov's numbers, so there
 was some doubt.
 
 First off, Rob, in style the labels do appear to match the photos you
 supplied here:
 http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/SA1.jpg   and here: 
 http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/SA2.jpg
 
 I find it odd that specimens with really low numbers, like the one in Rob's
 photo 0067, and mine 0112, were evidently not collected during the first
 expedition to Sikhote-Alin, due to the light coating of rust. You would
 expect the really low numbers to have been from the earliest expedition (and
 therefore to be in nearly pristine condition), but I suppose they could have
 been numbered out of order at a later date -- back in Moscow or St.
 Petersburg. Or maybe they 
 were just left outside in an old crate somewhere   : )
 
 Anyway, I have to agree with Steve S., and I think I've found proof that
 these are official Russian labels. Earlier this year, I had the good fortune
 to acquire a signed copy of Krinov's book about Tunguska and Sikhote-Alin.
 This book used to belong to Dr. Elbert King, and I ended up with it thanks
 to Steve Arnold of I.M.B. The book is
 (obviously) in Russian and, as far as I know, has unfortunately never been
 translated into English. My very basic Russian is not up to the task. The
 title reads (phonetically) Zhelezny Dozhd, and the cover is a two-color
 reprint of the famous Sikhote-Alin stamp

 Hello Bill,
 
 The first Huss Collection was built within the workings of American
 Meteorite Laboratory as successor to the American Meteorite Museum
 (Nininger).
 
 The Second Huss Collection was the personal collection of Glenn and
 Margaret. I believe it was acquired by NHMV sometime in the 1980's. In the
 Second Huss Collection of Meteorites (1986), Glenn states that it was
 started in 1958 and was financed by personal funds.
 
 Since the AML was established in 1960, both collections ran in parallel for
 a period of time.
 
 Cheers!

 Thanks Martin. Years ago I contacted Margaret Huss concerning the
 disposition of Illinois meteorites from the Huss Collection. She refered me
 to Ulrich Ott who then suggested I contact Dr. Jutta Zipfel. Dr. Zipfel was
 so kind and helpful. She had an image made of the Toulon meteorite which is
 in the MetBull.
  
 I wasn't aware there were two Huss collections. I thought the first was
 the remainder of Niningers. Can anyone be more specific?

   Sure this has been discussed before but can't find it. Any idea what

   Glenn had a 31.3 gram polished fragment of the Skiff Alberta (H4)

   I'm trying to find out where it landed up.

[meteorite-list] Paper on Risk Assessment of Tunguska-type Airbursts

2010-08-27 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Risk Assessment of Tunguska-type Airbursts
by Mignan et al., Nat. Hazard J., 2010

http://www.springerlink.com/content/c34200750300l724/

Abstract
The Tunguska airburst, which devastated a taiga forest over an area greater 
than 2,000 km2 in a remote region of Central Siberia in 1908, is a classic 
example of extraterrestrial encounter discussed in the asteroid/comet impact 
hazard and risk assessment literature (e.g. Longo 2007; Carusi et al. 2007). 
Although it is generally agreed that the cosmic body caused damage by bursting 
in the air rather than through direct impact on the Earth’s surface, the 
Tunguska event is often referred to as an impact event. To the best of our 
knowledge, no detailed studies have been performed to quantify the risk of a 
similar-sized event over a populated region. We propose here a straightforward 
probabilistic risk model for Tunguska-type events over the continental United 
States and use established risk metrics to determine the property (buildings 
and contents) and human losses. We find an annual average property loss of ~USD 
200,000/year, a rate of ~0.3 fatalities/year and ~1.0 injuries/year ranging 
from a factor 3 below and to a factor 3 above the indicated values when a 
reasonable rate uncertainty for Tunguska-type events is taken into account. We 
then illustrate the case of an extreme event over the New York metropolitan 
area. While we estimate that this “nightmare” scenario would lead to ~USD 1.5 
trillion of property loss, ~3.9 millions of fatalities and ~4.7 millions of 
injuries, such event is almost impossible (occurrence once every ~30 million 
years) and should only be considered as an illustrative example.

 All,
 
 There are a couple of key issues regarding flanged aussie buttons.  First, 
 the big money has always been for Port Campbell Victoria specimens which 
 somehow seem always bright, fresh, and pristine.  All the others are in 
 another league.  
 
 For years I have offered specimens from anywhere else for $900 to $1300, but 
 I haven't been able to restock for over 5 years at any wholesale price under 
 $1500.  They simply aren't on the market.

[meteorite-list] question about H. O. Stockwell

2010-05-25 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Hello,

does anyone know where I can find some information about meteorite 
hunter/dealer H. O. Stockwell from the 1950s?

I know that Nininger talks a bit about him in Find a Falling Star - p84-85 but 
that's all I could find.

I acquired a collection of index cards from an unknown source with tens of 
specimens listed with Stockwell ID numbers. If no publication exists that lists 
Stockwell numbers, I will make this resource available on my website. Please 
let me know if people owning Stockwell meteorites would be interested by such 
resource...

Cheers,

ArnaudM

 To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com
 Subject: [meteorite-list] Help with Kunya-Urgench
 
 Okay so here is my first help request.
 A couple of weeks ago at the spring Denver gem and mineral show, I  
 bought a supposed NWA classified meteorite from a dealer (whom I will  
 not name as yet). The weather was awful that entire weekend and he  
 hadn't gotten everything out if his van because if it. So the label  
 for that endpiece was misplaced. I went back all three days and he had  
 not found it yet. So we swapped info and he said he would try to find  
 the label for it well as of today no luck. So I'm starting to think  
 that my classified NWA that I paid a little over $1.00 a gram for is  
 inevitably just going to stat an UNWA that I therefore overpaid for.  
 But I called him a little while ago and now he says he found one  
 orphaned label that says Kunya-Urgench so he thinks it might be that  
 but he's not sure.
 There are very few pics of Kunya slices on the internet. Of the  
 polished faces I was able to find only one looked like mine, on the  
 Met Bulletin. The rest seemed different. Those had alot of white or  
 gray in the matrix, whereas mine has a predominantly orangish/ tan  
 matrix with lots of dark brown flecks interspersed throughout. So I'm  
 doubtful but can't quite rule it out because of the one little  
 pictured slice that does look like mine.
 
 So, does anyone have any Kunya-Urgench, or have any experience with it  
 that if I sent you pics of my endpiece you could help me rule out or  
 in this murky ID? Oh and the outside crust looks like what you see on  
 NWA's in color and texture.
 
 HELP!!
 
 On a good note. I did get a nice Crusted fragment of Trilby Wash from  
 him. Larry Sloan was there and verified that one.

 Henry Mendoza

 so - at least not any recent publications.  I do know that Arnaud
 Mignan was looking to publish one, but I don't know how far he got
 with regards to having a paper version ready for publication; last I

 Since it is easy to have individual or short run self published books made 
 in many different sizes and hard or softbound, I thought that it might be 
 interesting to put together a catalog of my collection as the hard copy of 
 the database.  It would certainly be a much more attractive and permanent 
 way of keeping and presenting this information.

 I'm not looking for recommendations for publishing companies. I'm just 
 curious if anyone has already done this?

 Hi Everyone,
 
 I'm attempting to create a comprehensive list of pop cultural  
 references in recent years in which meteorites appear in a supporting

 scientific references of the pop cultural ilk will be similarly

 Any input would be much appreciated.

Re: [meteorite-list] Labeling specimens

2010-02-28 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Hello,

I would like to disagree with everyone here. If we all start painting numbers 
on meteorites, in 2-3 generations, all specimens will be full of useless 
graffiti - who will know which number matches which minor collection? So the 
problem would remain exactly the same. When I say minor, I mean not a lot of 
people have a collection which can be compared to a Nininger, Monnig or any 
national museum collection! And with time, with more maturity, what if you find 
your inventory numbering system inefficient, what if you decide to change it?

Personally I will never paint anything on my collection specimens. I prefer to 
take 1 or more pictures per specimen + weight + other important 
characteristics, label them and keep then in different boxes.

Just my opinion,

Best,
Arnaud

Re: [meteorite-list] Tunguska rates

2009-11-15 Thread The Tricottet Collection

Hi E.P. et al., 

actually, what the journalist of BI wrote is inaccurate. You can read in our 
report that we used 1 per 1000 years as our preferred value, following the most 
up-to-date frequency-size distribution [Brown et al, 2002], but we also tested 
1 per 200 years [Shoemaker, 1983] and noted that the rate could be far higher 
if hypotheses from geomythology and related were to be verified.

Best,

ArnaudM

 Subject: [meteorite-list] Tunguska rates
 
 Hi Arnauld, all, 
 
 The problem is that Tunguska type blasts have been occuring recently (for the 
 last 5,000 years) at a rate of 1 per 100 years, not 1 per 1,000. Whether this 
 represents a short term phenonmenon or the long term rate is not currently 
 known.
 
 I used to put together catalogues of known and suspected impacts, you may 
 want to google that, and if you have not bought a copy of Man and Impact in 
 the Americas yet, well, it is the best available recent impact rate data for 
 the Americas.

Thanks to Mike Farmer, I learned that Navarro and Winslow St. are two distinct 
impact sites. I thought that information would interest some of you.

 Hi everybody,
 
 Does anyone know if the Winslow St. impact and the Navarro impact correspond 
 to the same Park Forest impact site?
 There is not so much information available around.
 
 Here is a link to the Navarro house impact story: 
 http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap030506.html
 
 As for Winslow street, I just know that there was at least an impact at the 
 front of the house.
 
 Any more details?
 
 Thanks
