Re: [meteorite-list] A 'Find' of Another Kind - the Vote is In!
even though it fell, so everything that's found fell and everything has to fall to be found and a fall has to be a find before it's a fall at all and never the twain shall meet? The crickets sense a hit song and will call you in the morning, Bill. But seriously, Thomas Webb writes, The terms find and fall are concise and understood by everyone in the meteorite community. I don't see the need to introduce terms that may lead to more ambiguity. Michael Blood raises the bid three oo-googles, I am sure there are many, many other times when a meteorite is found within 24 hrs of the Fall so that date of the fall is known, though the fall was technically unobserved - but I see no reason to become so specific other than in notations of the details - and most certainly not as a separate classification, as what has already been noted: all finds were unobserved falls if you use the term loosely. Upon which Mike of the 'Galactic Meteorite Minis and Fossil Fabricator Factory'- noticing approaching marketing anomalies announced - Attention: sales of all unobserved falls are hereby suspended until further notice. So are the sales of unobserved finds hastily added Werner Schroer of Australia, sitting in a tub of ice while watching a box of unobserved Henburys melt to vapor in the Nullarbor heatwave. CG took the opposite tack, seeing opportunity, and offered an assortment of rare, museum-quality, 'about to fall' specimens at incredible and special introductory prices. They were sold-out before they even hammered the ground. But then the list took a turn for practicality. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't change it wrote Gary Fujihara, deep in meditation while double-tasking, stringing fragrant flower leis, a surprise bonus gift for his many meteorite clients. (Surgically) Masked man Michael Mulgrew took a precautionary medical stance on the issue, This new term only exists on one web page. May it stay in quarantine there. Bob Very Verish simply stated statute - This form and the Met Soc Guidelines for Meteorite Nomenclature is replete with the terms fall and find, and nowhere is there any reference to a category that could be called unobserved falls. The closest that I could find was, Otherwise leave blank. Just like most lines of my Federal tax return. Linton Rohr knows what he sees, I observed a large quantity of specimen ID cards, before printing my own. Fall vs. Find seemed to be well established, generally accepted, and just plain traditional. Greg Hupe was all for simplicity - I find that I prefer 'fall' and 'find' as well, straight to the point. Now I better get back to work before I fall behind any more!... . as was space-saving Mendy - I like the conciseness of Fall versus Find - It's easier to fit and write on a specimen card. 'Greenie Jodie Reynolds is for conserving every possible electron and posits that 'falls and finds' simply be reflected as digital entries '0' and '1'. Roman Jirasek, he of the best museum ID labels, simultaneously wonders and concludes, 'you can't put a date on an unobserved fall can you? You can definitely put a date on a find. Finally, our group therapists observed People can argue about many things. My question is - why? - Mike Miller Inventing a scary new creature, Martin Altmann prays, Please folks, don't make such a bugbear out of that, like it has happened with the so-called hammer falls. I think, meteorites are already expensive enough. Fred Hall reminds us of the Wisdom of the Ages - An unobserved fall is two words to describe the one word that has been used for a century - Find. The one word Find is good enough for the Catalogue of Meteorites. It was good enough for Harvey Nininger. It is what I shall always use. Me too, Fred. I can only wonder about the relevance to our discussion of something we already have called 'weathering factor'. Owners of my book, The Art of Collecting Meteorites can turn to page 53 (I knew this book would eventually be good for something - ad) where I cite Wlotska et al. (1993) - A weathering scale for ordinary chondrites. The intent of their work was to guess terrestrial age. He offered two scales, the first described the effects of chemical alteration with WO - a fresh fall to W6 - massive replacement of silicates by clay minerals and oxides. His second scale estimated terrestrial ages with W0 = 5,000 years to W6 = 30,000 - 50,000 years. Sometimes even with a complicated thing like meteorites, whenever possible, keepin' it simple, works. Here's a modern example. Some thing fell from the sky. Bedouin warriors were roused from their sleep in Al-Qaida-controlled northern Mali by an explosion they confused with anti-aircraft fire. Invading NATO forces looking for a lost drone pick up some rocks the next year on top of the dessicated
[meteorite-list] Find, Fall Terminology
All, The terms find and fall are concise and understood by everyone in the meteorite community. I don't see the need to introduce terms that may lead to more ambiguity. For example: if find is changed to unobserved fall in describing a meteorite it could possibly be an outright false statement since it could have been observed by many people but never reported or recorded. Also, do we include other animals when we refer to observed? Who knows who or what observed one of those that we call find, so let's just leave it at that and continue to call it a find. The term fall as it is now used means that we have a pretty good record that someone actually saw it streak through the atmosphere and recoveries were soon made in the projected fall area. In some cases people have witnessed the actual impact or impacts as they happened but this is not required to call it a fall. Occasionally it may be years before a witnessed event produces recovered meteorites but if we know the fall area we can tie it to the event and still call it a probable fall and end up using just fall with a fairly high degree of accuracy. For practicality and to tie in with what has been used and understood for years, I think we should continue to use the terms find and fall.

A special thanks to John Blennert for giving us a wonderful insight on hunting the Gold Basin strewnfield. If it wasn't for John I probably still wouldn't know what a meteorite looks like! Thanks to Michael Blood for a great auction. Everyone enjoys the auction and the camaraderie. Twink's Gold Basin cake was delicious.

Cosmic Treasures Celestial Wonders To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Cc: Don Merchant dmerc...@rochester.rr.com Date: Saturday, October 16, 2010, 10:27 PM Hi List. I apologize that I have been away off the list for a long time. The reason is I decided to fulfill a long awaited dream of mine and create a website dedicated to meteorites and astronomy. I spent about a year and almost 2000 hours researching to put this together and ended up to be much longer then I anticipated. For those who know me I wanted to do it right and do not like to cut corners. This site is dedicated on my daughters birthday today, but is for all of you collectors out there and especially for those new to the field. There is no site like it in the world in my opinion. My eBay Info page will help many newbie's to the hobby and many of you will agree after viewing it, that it was about time something so detailed came along, which will help many new and veteran collectors. Though I have not listed any meteorites as of yet (shooting for first of the year) on my meteorite sales page, my format will be different then most of the dealers and sellers who already sell on their sites. I will not have the variety like they do. My plan is to only put up several type each couple of months. Those meteorites will be the rarest of the rare and hardest to acquire and or most historical. I posted about 5 months ago on my intentions of this website which is called Cosmic Treasures Celestial Wonders and wanted to thank those that contacted me with what I needed. I hope you will take the time to look over my site as it is very educational and the resources and tools will hopefully put me in your favorites! I designed this site for the new astronomer and new meteorite collector by using the many years I have involved with astronomy and meteorites and from the lessons I have learned. I hope my experience will suffice to all of you out there. Please feel free to pass my site along to those who you feel will gain from it. Hope you enjoy it and glad to finally have time to get back to the real world! My site address is below. Cosmic Treasures Celestial Wonders www.ctreasurescwonders.com Thank you.

Re: [meteorite-list] Matters Arising
Elizabeth, Thank you for your defense of us who live in Southern USA. I still feel a little touchy about a discussion that occurred on the list several years ago, soon after I joined, in which those of us who live in Southern USA were made fun of, and to compound it, one of those who made the most disparaging remarks works for a governmental agency and is being paid with our tax dollars! The terms hicks and rednecks do not neccessarily equate with unintelligent. Some of the best thinkers I know of have been, at times, referred to in this manner by some people from our northern states. I'm sure constitutional attorney Sam Ervin who referred to himself as just a country lawyer is one of them (he lived in a town about 30 miles from me). I think it's unfortunate that Peter used these terms to express his displeasure with the gun photos while I defend his right to show displeasure. I live in an area of NC largely settled by Scottish Highlanders and where we have the best Highland Games in the country. I would invite Peter and all of you to come this year, the second week in July. I think the photos were all in fun but in retrospect those involved probably wish they had kept them private. I will mention another term, meteorite, just to keep this legal for the list :).

I don't know the individuals involved on either side of this discussion. But not all gun owners are irresponsible. As I'm sure not all Scots are arrogant drunkards. (See stereotyping can go both ways!) And while I was not pleased to see the photos showing the irresponsible handling of the guns (sure, take your pics, keep them private, but to show them publicly??), I do believe in the right to bear arms! However, I was even more taken aback by Peter's statement never thought I would see the day when I would be sharing correspondence with hicks and rednecks! And what is wrong with a 'hick' or 'redneck'?? As an exchange student in Germany 20 years ago, I was explaining to one of my German friends what a redneck was (I am from the American south... South Carolina!)... And I started to describe it in somewhat derogatory terms until her father walked in and past and I saw he had one of the reddest necks I've ever seen and he was a hardworking farmer... I managed to correct myself before I insulted him. I have found that many 'hicks' and 'rednecks' are in fact well educated and more tolerant than Peter shows himself to be! Clear Skies!

I currently own one gun and have owned several, including assault weapons. I support the right to private ownership of firearms. But, I also believe that all firearms should be treated with respect and they have a proper place. My current firearm has not left it's lock box in over a year - and the last time it was removed was for a cleaning. I would be a happy man if my gun is never discharged or brandished. Again, assuming the pistol that started all of this is real, juvenile tomfoolery with guns is not only irresponsible, but it's also off-topic for this list. Unfortunately, I will catch some flak from my fellow Americans for stating this in public, but we are an arrogant bunch and we think our way is always the right way. As a whole, we have little consideration for the cultures or beliefs of others. To be sure, there are a few right-leaning List members who think that Peter just needs to drink a Coca Cola, smoke a Marlboro cigarette, drink a Starbucks coffee, and watch a mindless Hollywood 3-D movie. And then Peter will realize the errors of his ways. If not, we will declare him a terrorist and bomb Scotland.

It would seem they received that typo from Svend whose website says the same=2 0thing at the moment, on page 5 of his superb article when discussing the support between the two different fall dates (4 days apart): This is not the case. In my report I simply quoted the information received through the classifying institute. Of course the lab submitted their data directly to the editors in charge and not through me. So concerning this point the Bulletin and my report share the same sources but do not depend on each other.As you may see, the passage in question was set in quotation marks in my article because I quoted the author's words. I also named the author to make it clear that I am not the originator of the dates given for the measurements. The text says December-January 2006 and I totally agree with you it should better read December-January 2006[-2007], however, December 2006 for the time of the radionuclide measurements makes perfect sense to me. As far as the fall date is concerned, that indeed is a tricky question. This is what I can contribute: For the very first find of Bassikounou that became public, the 3 kg El Moichine mass, October 12 was reported by the owner of that mass. However this particular meteorite had already changed hands several times and so had the information assigned to it. To my knowledge this particular date, October 12, was then forwarded to the classifying institute together with the classification sample by the owner of that mass. A process I was not involved in. When Matthias and I started our research we had not much more to rely on but this date and the information from the owner of the first mass. It was not even known by that time that Bassikounou was a multiple fall. That is why we used the October 12 date in the early correspondence on the fall too. However in the course of our work it turned out that most eye witnesses as well as the local media reports gave of October 16 as the fall date. Accordingly we corrected the date in our papers and subsequently in the online version of our report. We also forwarded these findings together with the article in Horizons to the researchers in charge. Public and private research has chronologically overlapped in the case of the publication of the Bassikounou fall in the Meteoritical Bulletin. Thus it is regrettable and at the same time totally comprehensible that a variation occurs. I am convinced that the issue will be thorroughly cleared by the author's of the submission text once they are noticed of the discrepancy by the editor in charge. Contrary to any peer- and committee-reviewed system a private online editor has the invaluable vantage that he is able to react quite promptly to emerging new facts. Besides my own website describes just a hand full of falls which makes it quite easy to keep track of new evidence. And because I am just a one man show not even all of the corrections kindly forwarded to me make it online in time. The Meteoritical Bulletin data base however deals with ten thousand entries which are constantly reviewed under very high standard. An incredible ammount of time and effort is put into it by the editors to maintain these standards. The Bulletin's data base has achieved a quality that is hardly matched by any other public access databases in comparable fields. One has to admit this before pointing to obvious errors.

Weber, PPGUN. The results are from the Meteoritical Bulletin Database. In the Meteoritical Bulletin Database the fall date is still Oct. 16 - so officially it's Oct. 16, isn't it! I only found a hint why some sources mention Oct. 12 for the fall date! Cheers, Peter 2009/10/11 Mexicodoug mexicod...@aim.com: Hi List, Peter, Could you give a little more detail, as 22Na has a half life of about 950 days and the experimental uncertainty of that particular measurement apparently used to calculate the ratio was 11.6%, not to mention worse uncertainties with the 26Al. It says the measurement was between December and January of 2006. So for starters, did they measure the meteorite 9 months before it fell? OK, so maybe it is a typo in the link you gave (source or on line Meteoritical Bulletin, but the same January 2006 date is currently on Svend´s website) and say they are both typos which may or may not say something about precision: and should read January 2007. If we assume the measurements were taken about 75 days after the fall and we throw around a ten percent order of magnitude as the possible measurement error, would not the difference of 4 days (October 12 vs. Oct. 16) be totally lost in the error? It is more likely the measurements were just to prove it was a fresh fall, but the ability to distinguish four days based on a bunch of assumptions of the original composition seems far-fetched to me. That must be what the scientists set out to prove. So, maybe the gamma spectroscopist had received the October 12 date and only set out to prove it was reasonable. Surely if they had received the October 16 date, they would have allowed it as consistent as well - after all, over 99.7% of the 22Na would still be there (did I do that right?), and this is dwarfed by the experimental error. As Jim mentioned I think a real witness needs to speak up ... the press, as reported by Svend Buhl, has October 16 as the fall date. So at the moment, it would seem the press is preferable to insignificant digits being extended...

Dorothy and all, How do you spell meteorite?-O-R-I-C-H-A-R-D-N-O-R-T-O-N. This name is irrevocably tied to meteorites and their study. Richard has done more to popularize and introduce the world to meteorites and meteoritics through his wonderful books than any person I can think of. Richard states in his preface to the second edition of Rocks From Space that he wrote it to fill an obvious void. That void was most admirably filled! The book was enthusiastically received by both amateurs and scientists and continues to be the best introduction to meteorites available, and Dorothy, your art on the cover makes it most visually appealing as well as the artwork for his follow-up books, The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites and the Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites. The name and the works of Richard Norton will live on in all of us who love meteorites. Dorothy, as you grieve the loss of Richard's physical presence in your life may God's grace and His peace that passes all understanding be with you in the days to come and until you meet again.

I have allowed their aviation enabling arm (JAARS) to train their new pilots in a field I own for several years now and have found them to be one of the best groups of people as well as the most competent pilots that I have ever met. Each pilot is also an airframe and power-plant mechanic. They use short take-off and landing airplanes which allows them to get into and out of my 20 acre field which is ringed with trees. This field is to their liking because it allows them to simulate to their trainees the type of flying that will be required in many remote areas around the world where they are doing translation work. They don't ask for money but many Churches and other organizations give them support and they seem to get enough to do the work. To make this relate to meteorites, this group has asked me to speak to their trainees on meteorites and show them some examples on several occasions and I have complied. It is always gratifying to see how interested they are in the subject. They're primarily concerned with translating the Bible, but I'll question them to see if they know how many of these languages might have reference to meteorites in them.

Data : Sat, 23 Jun 2007 10:56:32 -0600 Jakub, When is the last time you emailed me? 5 or 6 months ago? Because this is the 1st time, since our transaction that I have heard anything about this one. Back then I answered your emails. Back then I told you I had shipped it and back then I communicated with you just fine. NO. I don't answer every email on the same subject, especially when overseas shipping can take time ... a long time. I have had this problem before, and I believe everyone finally did receive their item. Maybe, a year later, but that was not MY FAULT! True Story: I sent out several thousands of dollars worth of the Rare Fall, Weston... I sent it out Global Priority Mail. It never showed up. I was surprised because I had never lost a Global Priority before. I sent a replacement.. Registered Mail, Thousands of dollars more of Weston. IT NEVER Showed up. This was to Germany. The buyer thought I was a thief. I thought the buyer a thief. I began to slowly refund the money... I was pissed because I thought I was scammed. About a year or more later, one of the packages was found in the basement of the next door neighbor. They found this package while cleaning their basement. My buyer was not home when the package came, so the postman gave it to the neighbor... and she finally gave it to my client a year later! The second package is still missing in Germany. In the 10 years I have been doing this... I have sent over 20,000 packages. I have over 9,000 (NINE THOUSAND) Positive feedbacks on Ebay, and that is just my ebay business. I have sold thousands of meteorites to hundreds of happy customers. I have refunded every purchase that was lost in the mail or if the person was dissatisfied. Also, there is NO WAY to track your shipment outside the USA. At that time I do not believe that service was available on the way I sent it. ALSO, when you elect to play the Customs Game, that is, no or little value decalred on the item and you want to insure it for the full amount, remember I told you I don't do that. It is illegal. I did recommend that you insure it, but that amount would be declared on the customs invoice and you would have to pay your customs fee. If the buyer elects to have NO VALUE placed on the item, as to avoid custom fees, then they forfeit all rights to a refund. I have had maybe 25 lost packages, (In 10 years) and I believe I have refunded or replaced the items in all of these cases, unless there was some other agreement. In my experience, Italy is the worst place to send anything to... Eastern Europe is second and Germany has sometimes the worst delays.. (Due to Customs). This statement is not intended to be slander or to be mean, but some countries have a terrible postal system, with thieves , delays, and other problems... I am in the business to sell meteorites... not play games. CUSTOMER POSTAL SERVICESELLER. The party in the middle is sometimes to blame!

I'd like to thank Dean Bessey for my first little piece of Zagami, some years back when he lived in Toronto. I gave that to a friend of mine for his fiftieth birthday. I got another one later from another dealer, can't remember his name. I received some Allende from Mike Farmer a few years ago, and from Eric Twelker some Allende and Murchison. Thankyou again guys. And to Rob Wesel, thanks for the olivine diogenite. Still waiting for word from Ted Bunch. I'd also like to thank Steve Arnold. And there are a few others, but I can't remember all the dealers that I have purchased from over the years. But thanks anyways.

Re: [meteorite-list] Not Proud of Tom
Anne List, I agree with Anne. The real former member of the list who the fictional character was based on had to finally quit the list due to the ridicule he received through this character portrayal. He was an enthusiastic meteorite collector with some personal problems at the time and the meteorites seemed to help him cope with his problems. His mistake evidently was that he declared himself 'the proudest member of the IMCA', and I believe he really was proud to be associated with the organization, but some people jumped on this and rode it into the ground. I don't think it is ever honorable to have fun at the expense of others. We can laugh at ourselves and good-naturedly poke fun at our friends when they are agreeable to it, but I saw nothing of this with that particular character. Another list member, whom I respect as I do Michael, tried some offbeat humor a couple of years ago which didn't go over well with some. He saw his mistake, apologized and withdrew it, and that was the end of it. He continues to make great contributions to the list. I am not referring to our members who flare up or argue occasionally, and who agree to disagree. They are basically good people who most of us have respect for and who have made many contributions to our hobby, but who argue, sometimes very heatedly, to make some valid points. The list is in the best shape it's been in for some time, so let's try to keep uplifting our members as we are presently doing with those who are sick and hurting, and also endeavor to not be the cause of pain or mental anguish for any member.

Occasionally we get these brief glimpses of caring which transcend even our great love for meteorites and within these moments we begin to realize more deeply and transparently those things which are most important. My best to all, Thomas Thomas H. Webb Linville, NC --- Steve Schoner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All of this brings to my mind the entire Bessey Speck issue. Back then, nine or so years ago I took extreme objection to such. Well in 2003 in the month of January, I came down with ADEM... I nearly died. But I recovered. And I received from many of you messages wishing me well, from all over the world. Well... Back to Bessey Specks... Dean sent me a package and letter of condolence which the nurse opened read to me, and inside the package was a round cylinder very tightly taped together, and there was a card with it with the words SAYH AL UHAYMIR 90 At the time, I was speechless, (literally) and the nurse was perplexed. She thought that there was something inside the plastic capsule but could not open it due to the fact that it was so tightly taped. After a while, she gave up and left it on my bedside desk. At that time I could not use my right arm, which was paralyzed along with my leg and everything else on my right side. Others came in and noticed it at my beside, read the letter to me again, and a few tried to open it to show what Dean had sent. In my weird state of mind and being I was curious, too. I had no idea what the gift was. The name meant nothing to me in my then weird state of mind, or lack thereof. At the time many spoken words and written words were as incomprehensible as hearing or reading Russian backwards-- or forwards. But I picked up the plastic capsule with my left hand and looked at it intensely, wondering what it was. Then after nearly a month of recovery, I was able to look at it more closely, and with some degree of comprehension. Then, and only then, with a degree of comprehension back, did I realize that the little container had... you guessed it Bessey Specks Two, nearly microscopic specks of SAY AL HYMIE 90. The specks had migrated to the edge of the container to the point that they would easily be missed. Had it been opened by me or anyone else, they would have become nothing more than dust on the hospital floor (as if there is much dust there anyway in intensive care). Well... I still have those two tiny Bessey Specks and the card that he sent me on my meteorite shelf, along with dozens of really large in comparison meteorites. But those two specks have a treasured spot in my heart and on my display shelf. They are a memento of the time when I could have been numbered among the departed. And oddly they are part of the process that came about to bring my comprehension back. I hate the idea of reducing meteorites to Bessey Specks... but these two tiny ones... I like. So... One needs not muli-billion dollar equipment to appreciate them... Just a weird state of mind caused by a disease that shuts down the brain. And as it reboots, then the appreciation begins.

Hello Robert, Goran, Michael, Sergey and all others: The two spheres would hit the ground at the same time only if air resistance or another resistance (large bird maybe)doesn't interfere with the spheres. The law stands true if the two spheres are released at exactly the same time and in a space devoid of air (a vacuum). If this were the case they would reach terra firma at the same instant.

Dad is possessed, shouting excitedly returning from the mailbox, madly waving the latest issue of Sky Tel like it was HIS winning lottery ticket! Is everything OK Walt? Mom doesn't seem to be too concerned knowing Dad... Doug, look at this fireball! It'll knock you off your chair! When will I see a bolide? After all those nights we go into the mosquito infested swamps to photograph meteors! And this fellow gets it right over the Grand Tetons! But Dad, that doesn't look like a fireball - Isn't it daytime?, I was a little perplexed since the photo looked like a nice day besides the smoking streak which destroyed the tranquility of the scene. Doug, this isn't a regular fireball like some of the small ones we've seen. (I still hadn't ever seen what I considered a fireball, which already had a mystic significance around the household, but I was ashamed to admit that, and had seen many meteors during our trips to the dark). Yeah, Dad it doesn't look like any of the fireballs I ever saw... Doug, this is what's called a bolide. Bolides are fireballs that can be so big that they're sometimes brighter than a full Moon, and you can see them when the Sun is shining. They leave trains of smoke and if you are lucky you'll see them exploding as they rumble by. A Bowloid? what?... Bolide Doug, get it straight - I'd give my right arm to photograph just one bolide in my life. Doug, you haven't lived until you see a BOLIDE. We'll keep watching - we'll see one, don't worry! Oh, if I could only have one of these bolides rip through the sky with my camera... B-o-l-i-d-e... Dad continued to devour his ST and contageously was heard mumbling the word bolide all evening. I was a little confused because I knew I was just a kid, but I thought I had been living long enough. Still, I had never seen a BOLIDE, which now took the principal seat in the Mt. Olympus in my mind's eye. I was very excited because I now thought we would see a bolide sometime soon...even though I had yet to completely digest the fact that a meteor which I always associated with dark nights, could be seen blowing-up enroute during the day. Shortly thereafter, we left yet another time for a trip to the dark swampland 70 odd-miles away. I did my job carrying one tripod for Dad's equipment, and then we arrived at a place he fancied, and Dad began his meticulous setup of the ungainly big camera mounted on his eerily glistening purple telescope, which had to be the world's best as far as I could imagine. I was curious as much as impressed that when Dad magically manipulated his equipment, this would cancel out the star trails that all the other cameras he also set up would record. I faithfully did the rest of my chores - mainly to keep out of the way and to be handy with the mosquito repellent, and watch...and watch keeping a vigilent eye for heavenly visitors. Another night and 15-20 faint streaks later the excitment was even greater. But no BOLIDES yet... It's wonderful that Dad left a place of our very own to meet whenever we want, in the skies. And you can count on me Dad, I'll be there with you. Maybe tomorrow, we'll finally get to live
