Hi Bob,

My wife and I are planning on chasing this tomorrow. We will let you know if we 
have any luck.

Thanks,

Hello Roberto and List,

Thanks for posting those links.  I can only add one more, and you will have to 
go over to facebook to get more info on this event:

https://www.facebook.com/GalacticAnalyticsLLC/

This was a widely witnessed event with more than 9 videos and more still 
images, so more info "should be" forthcoming.
But it is hard to compete with all of the other sightings and recoveries:
Earlier on the same day as this event there was a recording of a fireball in 
Ontario, Canada.
And the recovery of a meteorite in India that same day has sucked-up a lot of 
the bandwidth.

I hope this U.S. event doesn't get overlooked, and that the time is taken to 
search the Doppler-radar data, and that something gets found.

Bob V.

Hmm, I wonder what happened to the meteorites and sacred stones depicted in
the coins. Sounds like the main one, the stone of Emesa, was probably
returned to Emesa after the emperor died. Lost in History I guess.

Hi Rob,

Are you looking for a large sample of Monahans (1998)? Has Mike Craddock

would be great if it was possible to purchase a nice sized sample.

Re: [meteorite-list] Etching a name on an iron meteorite slice

[Peter Scherff via Meteorite-list]

Hi John,

Sorry, I misunderstood you. For engraving I would try a local gunsmith. If they 
can't do, they will know someone who can. I have seen a lot of old time slices 
that have their info etched on them and only a few that have been engraved. I 
think either way would be great to and some "classic" gravitas to an iron.

Thanks,

Peter

Sorry if I'm not being clear.  

Really what my buddy is looking for is someone who can engrave neatly onto an 
iron slice.  Preferrably with a machine of sorts designed for the purpose of 
engraving.

Thanks though for the knowledge.  
I appreciate your time responding.  :-)

Hi John,

I am sure that anyone who etches irons can do this for you. All you need is
a resist. The simplest would be writing on the iron with a crayon.
Traditionally asphalt was used. If I were to do it I would purchase some
stickers since my hand writing is so bad. I am sure that there are many
other resists that people could use.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about meteorite rings

[Peter Scherff via Meteorite-list]

Hi Rob,

I made my (and my wife's) wedding rings from Gibeon. We have no rust issues
at all. I had an experience with a Gibeon ring where it turned the skin
under the ring brownish. I didn't want that feature in my wedding ring. When
I made the wedding rings I "lined" them with gold. It worked and I have
never had any skin reactions from my ring.

Thanks,

Peter

This article, with some great photos, lists it at 4th with 30,800kg as the

Weighing the big ones like this and compairing them to others has always

2nd or 4th is kkind of irrelevant in my book.  Still amazing...

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Crashes Through Thailand House Roof

[Peter Scherff via Meteorite-list]

Hi Bob,



I agree that some people are burned by the cold. But after reading many first 
hand reports I think that the “cold enough to burn” meteorites are those that 
are found ON the ground. The “too hot to touch” meteorites are the ones that 
have punched through something. I can’t prove it, but my theory fits the scores 
of reports that I have read.



Thanks,



Peter

I'm going to go with the theory she was mistaken. I'm sure the crash

Hi Tom,

Yes, I think so. There are too many reports of meteorites being hot to the
touch. Those reports are almost always about meteorites that have punched
through something (building, vehicle or ground). I trust this mass of
anecdotal evidence. But we won't know for sure until some starts shooting

as it was very hot,". Have you ever held a nail that you just pulled out of
a board? The nail is very warm. The friction of punching a hole through a

Hi Anne, 

Is Clifford really new ? 

I purchased from you (yes, from you) a superb 27 g slice in...2009, thus 6.5 
years ago. 

Here is a copy of my collection write-up: 

CLIFFORD (Colorado, L6)(S3W2), found 1962; tkw: 1@11.36 kg; collection code: AB 
09/314 

History and scientific significance: 
Clifford was found in 1962 in an uncultivated rangeland by a local arrowhead 
hunter near Clifford, Lincoln County, Colorado. The finder didn't think it was 
anything important, so he put it in his rock garden. Then 35 years later, Gary 
Curtiss, a meteorite hunter, realized what it was and got it classified in 
1997. 

Sample description. 
42x39x5 mm 27.06 g part slice, 2 edges cut, 2 crusted, dominant black, some 
brown spots and metallic patches. M. Morgan coll. (label lost). 

Was I a priviledged customer to whom you had offered this slice in premium ? 

Anyhow, many thanks, I appreciate the piece and its history

Regards to all, 

Zelimir

Objet: [meteorite-list] AD - Another New Meteorite 

My turn to announce a new meteorite! 

Not a new fall, but a new meteorite (and all meteorites are really falls, how 
else would they get here) 

CLIFFORD, from Colorado. 

A single stone, weighing some 11.36kg, was found sometimes in the early 1960s 
in rangeland in central Colorado while looking for arrowheads. He brought it 
home but thinking that it was just an odd looking rock he added it to his 
wife's rock garden. And it stayed there until 1997 when Gary Curtiss, a 
Colorado geologist and meteorite collector happened to go by and spotted it. He 
immediately recognized it for what it was, bought it and had it classified by 
Alan Rubin at UCLA. But then he kept most of it for himself! 
Until very recently, when I finally convinced him to get a few slices cut and 
made available ot collectors. 
Clifford is an ordinary chondrite, type L6, Shock S3, Weathering W2, with some 
large chondrules, metal blebs, and odd tiny vugs. 

I have now 11 slices at very reasonable, collector-friendly, non-gouging 
prices! 
Listed right here: http://www.impactika.com/clifford.html 

Any questions, just ask!

Hi,

I don't know if Creston is a bargain or over priced at $300. Only time will
tell. However, Novato another recent California common chondrite fall would
be quickly bought up if it was offered at $300 a gram. I know, I would be
doing the buying.

Hi all,

Thank you Anne for listing the weights.

I did I mention that with the exception of Creston ($300 per gram) all
California falls would be priced at a minimum of $1000 per gram?

That is If you were to attempt to acquire a tiny fragment from any person or
university. However, it's highly likely that they'd not even sell at that
price.

And yes, I can easily hold the combined total weight of all California falls
(2.1 kilos)  kilos in one hand.

That last piece of Claxton I sold only went for $140.00 a gram at a heavily
advertised, non-eBay auction according to my accurate books. Peekskill is
not moving off of shelves all that quickly these days having seen the same
pieces listed on the same websites for over a decade.

Like most dealers, I do not want material sitting unsold and stuck in
inventory for decades so I am willing to sell at a lose if I paid too much
in the first place.

HI,

With great respect, Adam, your references to Claxton and Peekskill do not

Re: [meteorite-list] Where do I find a high end buyer 120kg+ Campo Del Cielo meteorite

[Peter Scherff via Meteorite-list]

Hi Bill,

An interesting post. I would think that most high end clients and serious
collectors would subscribe to this list. So perhaps you have already reached
them. My questions for you are why do you think your rock would interest a
"high end client"? Where was it found? When was it found? Did you find it?
The answers to these questions may make it more interesting. However it is a
common meteorite (albeit a larger sample). Your in situ photos add a little
interest to the rock. The question is do they add enough?

I can't imagine that you would be able to put together a client base of
"high end" clients without first having a history of selling desirable
meteorites. Perhaps your best bet is to pay someone to get access to their
"high end" clients. The easiest way to do that would be to consigning your
rock to an auction house with a successful track record of selling
meteorites.


Thanks,

Peter

Hello All,
 
I've got a 125kg+ Campo Del Cielo meteorite that I would like to sell retail
with a great shape and an internal cavity. Included are a few of the
discovery photos. How can I access the market for high end clients? I want
to get a good client base to offer the Campo (Yes, I am aware I need a
better pic of the meteorite.)

Re: [meteorite-list] high-end collectors high-end meteorites andrareness

[Peter Scherff via Meteorite-list]

Hi,

I think  what we are talking about is connoisseurship. Being a connoisseur has 
nothing to  do with deep pockets. It is about deep understanding. One of the 
best stories about connoisseurs is the story of  Herbert and Dorothy Vogel a 
postal worker  a librarian. The couple amassed an art collection worth 
hundreds of millions of dollars on their civil servant salaries.   
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_and_Dorothy_Vogel 

Unfortunately in our world today few people have the time to invest in becoming 
a connoisseur. Connoisseurs can lead the market. Sure, they may compete against 
one and other to get that special rock (this is where deep pockets help) but 
dealers may also want to place a sample with a connoisseur. For example a David 
Weir write up may help draw attention to an otherwise overlooked NWA. That 
attention may lead to more sales. 

When Adam Hupe was marketing NWA 5000 he used a meteorite rating scale that 
attempted to quantify all the factors that a connoisseur considers when looking 
at a meteorite. Perhaps someday a rating scale will become common place in the 
meteorite world. Until then we all need to continue to study meteorites in 
order to become better connoisseurs.

Thanks,

Peter

I agree. If someone falls into the category high end collector, then it 
should be David Weir. And this has nothing to do with a bank account. I know 
him as a real enthusiast, and his website is endless inspiration for many other 
collectors!

On the other side, I don´t like the term high end collector at all. 
Michael F. explained us already what it means, a collector with deep pockets 
who buy expensive pieces. And what are the other 95+% of meteorite collectors? 
Low end collectors who buy the crap (btw, another word which I don´t like to 
hear in conjunction with meteorites) on Ebay??

Please don´t misunderstand me, it´s totally fine with me if wealthy people buy 
expensive meteorites. I´m happy for them and I´m happy when I can serve them 
with my service. I know that some of them donate material to institutions, or 
make their impressive collections accessible to the public, which I find very 
noble. What I don´t like is to sort people into categories depending on their 
wealth. Btw, my clients are mostly the same after 15 years, I still sell to 
meteorite collectors and institutions, small and big collectors alike. And it 
still works!

Cheers,
Stefan

 Hello, All

 If I combined Michael Farmers and Greg Hupes writing up about high-end 
 collectors and high-end meteorites, so I should come to the conclusion 
 that dealers aiming know a days to collectors with big wallets.
 Regardless to the amount of money you can effort for collecting 
 meteorites, for myself, the high-end collector is the one, who 
 understand in deeper details what he is collecting.
 Means, before he can real enjoy it, he must crack his head by studying 
 in a private or profesional way mineralogy, physics, (bio)chemistry 
 and etc. . Otherwise, confrontated with the foolishness, he can only 
 marveling with an open mouth, but the real enjoy comes be looking at a 
 meteorite with the specialed (knowlege) view about what you are 
 looking at.
 Collectors like David Weir for example buying the small samples, but 
 they are the high-end collectors.
 Some companies or also some single rich peoples (or even the most) 
 often have rudimentär interest in meteorites but supporting the 
 interest of the nature of an dealer – that's a own class of high-ends.

 Last at least, something about lunar and martian meteorites. Meanwhile 
 the amount of it rised up to huge amounts compare to some real rare 
 space samples, for ex. the ungrouped cc's like NWA 5958 from Greg 
 Hupe.
 A sample like this, unique by it's O-isotopes compared to the rest of 
 all meteorites, provide an absolutely less amount of material compared 
 for ex. to a NWA 5000, but comes in price much more efordable.
 Martians and Lunaites describe more a less a single parent body 
 history/evolution but a CM2 like a Murchison, a Tagish Lake or CI 
 spans with it's information through the rise of the solarsystem and in 
 some way also beyond. Some of such CC's you find in between the 393 
 CC's of the MetBull 101 to 103.

 My regards,  Stephan Kambach

 It is true that rare things will always be rare and will be priced
accordingly, and for that reason you may be entirely right Michael that it
can be simply supply and demand.  Personally though, I think supply and
demand is too simple a concept for collectible items.  What I mean is, I
wonder how much of this shift in price might be due to the recent strength
of the dollar?
  
 In case someone is not following:
 An example of this is what is happening in the antique Japanese sword
market.  The value of the yen relative to the dollar is 120 to 1 currently.
Which is different than it was about a year ago when the dollar was weaker,
and the value was perhaps 100 to 1.  Japanese swords in Japan that were
selling for 100,000 yen last year (1000 dollars) are not currently worth
120,000 yen in Japan.  They are still only worth 100,000 yen.  In other
words, the value of a sword does not go up simply because a foreign currency
became stronger.  However, because the dollar is stronger now, you can get a
better sword out of Japan for the same price in dollars as you would have
paid for a lesser sword last year.  In other words, 1000 dollars today
(120,000 yen) buys you a more valuable sword than it did last year simply
because the dollar got stronger.
  
 Now consider a sword that an American sword merchant/collector bought from
Japan last year for 1000 dollars (100,000 yen) and is now here in America.
It is still worth 1000 dollars here, but now that you can buy a 120,000 yen
sword for 1000 dollars, (and those swords are plenty available in Japan) why
would someone buy a sword valued at 100,000 yen for 1000 dollars here in
America, when they can get a better sword (valued at 120,000 yen) from
Japan for the same 1000 dollars?
  
 This same type of scenario can be true in for rare books, meteorites etc.
etc.  If, for example, Mike Meteorite Merchant bought a 10,000 dollar 1000g
Lunar mass from Morocco last year when the dollar was weaker, now that the
dollar is stronger the same 1000g Lunar mass might only cost 8,000 dollars
from a merchant in Morocco.  That devalues Mike's meteorite.  If he wants to
sell bits and pieces of it, he has to sell it for similar value as what the
newer cheaper specimens are selling for.

Oddball 'Crystal' Survived Crash to Earth Inside Meteorite
by Elizabeth Howell, Live Science Contributor   |   March 18, 2015
07:53am ET 

A bizarre crystal-like mineral recently found in a meteorite that crashed to
Earth perhaps 15,000 years ago adds more support for the idea that the
fragile structure can survive in nature. But how it formed at the beginnings
of the solar system is still a mystery.

The newfound mineral is called a quasicrystal because it resembles a
crystal, but the atoms are not arranged as regularly as they are in real
crystals. The quasicrystal hitched a ride to Earth on a meteorite that
zipped from space through Earth's atmosphere and crashed to the ground.
That process is generally a violent one that heats up the insides of rocks,
making the delicate quasicrystal's survival a surprise.

The difference between crystals and quasicrystals can be visualized by
imagining a tiled floor, said according to a statement by Princeton
University in a press release. Tiles that are six-sided hexagons can fit
neatly against each other to cover the entire floor. But five-sided
pentagons or 10-sided decagons laid next to each will result in gaps between
tiles.

 Top 10 Biggest Meteor Strikes in History

 Top 10 Biggest Meteor Strikes in History

 Our beloved blue planet gets pelted with debris from space all the 
 time but, since most of it burns up or break apart in the atmosphere, 
 it's usually not a problem. Even when one does make it to the ground, 
 they are rarely much larger than a small rock, minimizing the damage 
 they're capable of inflicting.

 Then, of course, there is that once-in-an-eon occasion where 
 something very very large makes it through intact, and this can 
 really do some damage. Fortunately, such hits are extremely rare, but 
 they are worth noting, if only to serve as reminders of the power of 
 the stars to undo the normal routine here on Earth, with little more than a 
 few minutes'
 warning. So where — and when — did these monsters hit? Let's take a 
 look at the geological records, and see.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fossils found in meteorites?

[Peter Scherff via Meteorite-list]

Hi Steve,

I would have more trust in the article if it was published in the Journal of
Cosmetology rather than the Journal of Cosmology.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi all,

Does anyone have a copy of the below listed publication available?
Even a photocopy would be useful.

Hovey, E.O. (1896) Catalogue of meteorites in the collections of the
American Museum of Natural History, to July 1, 1896. Bull. Amer. Mus.
Nat. Hist. 8, 149-156.

Any assistance much appreciated :-)

Hello List,

Michael, please allow me to chime in. First of all let me tell you and the
MetList what you and Rogan have so far done for our
Marissa is so admirable and really deserves a lot of respect and quite a bit
more. I don't wear hats but if I did it would be off to you!!!

We are so very close to what is the minimum amount of money we need to make
this lovable, young lady's dream come true!!!

But ... we can do better ... this you can believe! I, too, did donate a
certain amount of money but I won't tell you how much because this is
absulutely unimportant!

What does count is that you donate ... now matter how much! Some of us have
hundreds, even thousands of mereorites in their collections and here is a
young, passionate, meteorite-loving girl who deserves our respect and our
support to make it happen!

She does not complain about being disabled, she does not need our Oh, what
a pity! ... she is much too positive to lament her personal fate.

So, open your hearts and help ... it's not the first time we do that. You
will all remember G.F. (no, not the Big Kahuna!) when we felt it was our
duty as list members to help one of those who was part of our list family

Thank you for reading this and
thank you for your donation!!!

Bernd

 I'm personally using MetBase database for my website. I like that I

Re: [meteorite-list] List change

[Peter Scherff via Meteorite-list]

Good Afternoon List;

The recent list issues regarding several email providers (Yahoo, AOL, etc.)
seem to be behind us and I have re-enabled all of those accounts.  Thanks to
input from Bob Falls I was able to take advantage of some changes my service
provider put into place and this should take care of the bounce problems.  

Hi  Michael,

Here is a copy of an e-mail from Art:

The only downside from this fix is that if you click Reply or Reply All
to a posting the reply will only go to the member and not back to the list
as well.  If you would like to reply to an email and have it go to the list
as well please paste the list address meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com
into the To field.  I apologize for this inconvenience and hopefully this
issue will be fixed as well at some point.

So remember, when replying to a list email that you want the list copied on,
please paste meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com into the To field.

Thanks again to IMCA's Bob Falls!

Yesterday there seemed to be a BIG change in the list...
All posts were identified as coming from Meteorite List
Instead of from the sender as it has always done before.

Does anyone know why? It made it Much easier in the Past to quickly decide
what posts you wanted to read And often which you didn't care to read - or
which first, Etc.

I always read every post Bernd, Anne Black, Pual Harris, And several other
wrote, usually read most of the others And rarely read some and never read a
few (over the years).

This new system makes it so you don't know who wrote What until you are at
the end of the post and/or hit Resend All. 

While one can still prioritize by topic one can no longer prioritize By
sender.

Is this temporary? Did I miss a post from Art about the change?
When I noticed it no one commented at all.
Whazzup?

Best to all,
Michael (Blood)

Re: [meteorite-list] is it a meteorite

[Peter Scherff]

Hi,
According to Alan E. Rubin  Jeffrey N. Grossman: A meteorite is a
natural, solid object larger than 10 µm in size, derived from a celestial
body, that was transported by natural means from the body on which it formed
to a region outside the dominant gravitational influence of that body and
that later collided with a natural or artificial body larger than itself
(even if it was the same body from which it was launched). Using that
definition I would say that your rock should be called a meteorite. I also
think that a cool name for a new class of meteorites would need to be
created. I just hope that we could have that class created before 5 examples
of it were recognized.

Thanks,

Peter

IMHO - This should most likely be called 'Earthite'. A whole new class of
rocks distinct from meteorites, which so far we don't have any of (unless
anyone knows different!?).

 Or they could just be known as Tektites, since that is essentially what the
consensus is on Tektites. Though I would put Tektites in the group of
Ancient impact glasses rather than actual fusion crusted rocks from earth.

Suppose a fusion crusted stone is found shortly after a fireball.  When
examined it shows a celestial age of a few million years and a relatively
short formation age.  More examination shows it to be a stone formed on
earth, ejected into space and returned here.  Is it meteorite or a
meteorwrong.  Or something in between?

 Yes, Alan and I would call this object a real meteorite, but not 
 tektites, which never escaped from Earth's gravity well.

 It's a bit of a stretch and model dependent, but in a way, lunar 
 meteorites may be considered as this type of meteorite.

 Hi,
  According to Alan E. Rubin  Jeffrey N. Grossman: A meteorite 
 is a natural, solid object larger than 10 µm in size, derived from 
 a celestial body, that was transported by natural means from the 
 body on which it formed to a region outside the dominant 
 gravitational influence of that body and that later collided with a 
 natural or artificial body larger than itself (even if it was the 
 same body from which it was launched). Using that definition I 
 would say that your rock should be called a meteorite. I also think 
 that a cool name for a new class of meteorites would need to be 
 created. I just hope that we could have that class created before 5 
 examples of it were recognized.

 IMHO - This should most likely be called 'Earthite'. A whole new 
 class of rocks distinct from meteorites, which so far we don't have 
 any of (unless anyone knows different!?).

 Or they could just be known as Tektites, since that is 
 essentially what the consensus is on Tektites. Though I would put 
 Tektites in the group of Ancient impact glasses rather than actual 
 fusion crusted rocks from earth.

 Suppose a fusion crusted stone is found shortly after a fireball.  
 When examined it shows a celestial age of a few million years and a 
 relatively short formation age.  More examination shows it to be a 
 stone formed on earth, ejected into space and returned here.  Is it 
 meteorite or a meteorwrong.  Or something in between?

Has it been verified?
Or is it disputed?

Thanks for any input on the subject.
Reason for asking Is My father (Nick) will be in Bali this summer and really
has no desire to be a regular tourist and of course wants to do something

A simple way to make the list more informative would be if people when

are part of it.
Nobody has to bid on them, so I don't know what the fuss is all about.

Anne is correct, unlike stamps printing errors are not desired by book
collectors. I guess Michael's book - which I've bought - hasn't turned out
to be a bestseller so he tries to add some rarity to them. It's called
'Marketing' and it can backfire if it's not done correctly. But again,
nobody has to bid on them if they don't like the book.

I wish someone might be willing and able to establish a video link of the

  Team Meteorite:
 
  When Ron Baalke forwarded today a news article about mining 
  asteroids for platinum, I at once thought of science-fiction movies 
  I have seen from behind a box of artificially-buttered popcorn.
 
  You know, those flicks where slaves from Earth work 84 year-days far 
  beneath the surface of some bare rock-moon in space partnered with 
  creatures normally viewed among the protozoa. Of course there is no 
  possible escape from this living death, but movies need happy 
  endings so our heroes always make it home to their Honey. Mining 
  asteroids seems a bit far-fetched to me.
 
  But ask a question or make a comment on the m-list and someone opens 
  the door to knowledge for you. Just walk through.
 
  Thanks to Randy Korotev, I know that OC's may contain Pt at 
  ore-grade concentrates of 1ppm.
 
  But really, how concentrated is that I wondered, ever the sceptic. 
  Two seconds research informed me that Platinum is an extremely rare 
  metal, occurring at a concentration of only 0.005 ppm in the Earth's
crust.
 
  Looking deeper into the topic (research is like mining, just keep 
  digging and you'll always find your bone) ...
 
  Platinum exists in higher abundances on the Moon and in meteorites.
  Correspondingly, platinum is found in slightly higher abundances at 
  sites of bolide impact on the Earth that are associated with 
  resulting post-impact volcanism, and can be mined economically; the 
  Sudbury Basin is one such example.
 
  And...
 
  From 1889 to 1960, the meter was defined as the length of a 
  platinum-iridium (90:10) alloy bar, known as the International 
  Prototype Meter bar. The previous bar was made of platinum in 1799.
  The International Prototype Kilogram remains defined by a cylinder 
  of the same platinum-iridium alloy made in 1879.
 
  Those two paragraphs were uncovered from 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum
 
  Sterling Webb's ever astute comments and links gave me leads and 
  info so that with a little follow-up I've also learned -
 
  - the total mass of all asteroids equals about 4% of our Moon's mass.
  (I had always thought the sum was equal to a 'broken' or 'aborted'
  planet the size of Mars or larger).
 
  - C-type asteroids are carbonaceous and the most common. Consisting 
  of clay and silicate rocks they exist furthest from the Sun in the 
  outer Belt and are the least altered by heat. They may consist of up 
  to 22% water.
 
  - S-type 'silaceous' asteroids are primarily stony materials and 
  nickle-iron and are found in the inner belt.
 
  - M-type asteroids are mostly nickle-iron and range in the middle
region.
 
  One linked article allows that because C-type asteroids are 
  expected to have water they will be targeted first, the hydrogen and 
  oxygen split to create fuel. (H-m-m-m-m-m, but 'closer' asteroids 
  is 'better' asteroids).
 
  Most importantly, is mining platinum on asteroids and delivering it 
  to Earth like so many storks bringing babies from outer space cost 
  effective?
 
  It was estimated that a single 30m asteroid might yield $25-50 
  billion worth of Pt, more or less 40,000 to 80,000kg at 'today's
prices'.
 
  The world's total Pt output was 192,000kg in 2010.
 
  From the 'Economist' article link (BTW - my favorite magazine,
  Sterling) we learn, ...the real doubt over this sort of enterprise 
  is not the supply, but the demand. Platinum, iridium and the rest 
  are expensive precisely because they are rare. Make them common, by 
  digging them out of the heart of a shattered planet, and they will 
  become cheap. The most important members of the team, then, may not 
  be the entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who put up the drive 
  and the money, nor the 

[meteorite-list] Heat from Chelybinsk meteor

Hi,

I have read some eyewitness reports of heat from the Chelybinsk
meteor. There was such heat coming in, as if it were summer. Is there any
evidence that there was a rise in temperatures on the ground. I would assume
that in a city the size of Chelybinsk there would be someone recording the
weather. I would love to see some quantitative data. I have been unable to

According to world renowned meteoriticist, Goethe You must be Anvil
or Hammer. Therefore all meteorites are hammer stones. Thank you  Goethe
for finally clearing up this long standing dilemma. I know that I will be
able to sleep better tonight now that this has been settled.

Thanks,

Peter

Yes, Elton, certainly bogus.
But I wonder if it is in anyway connected to another email I found in my spam 
box today. Here is most of it:

We are writing you regarding a special offer. We think you have already heard 
of the Tissint meteorite, the Martian meteorite that crashed in Morocco in July 
2011 and the Natural History Museum has bought one of its pieces lately (1.1 
kg).
In fact, That 1.1 kg stone of Tissint Martian meteorite is just a small piece 
of the mother Tissint meteorite which we still have safe and sound. The latter 
is about 800-1000 times bigger than the meteorite which is at the Natural 
History Museum gallery at the moment. We recovered the whole Martian rock soon 
after it fell, then we hid it in a professional way following the advice tips 
of some experts to prevent any contamination,so if you would like to buy from 
us, contact us through our email address: meteoritebusin...@gmail.com Reply 
only if interested please,

Well, I am not interested. But 800-1000 times bigger than the 1.1kg piece would 
make it 900 to 1100 kg mass.
About the same size than that the one in that announcement. 
Coincidence?  Same scam?

Oh, and BTW, they want to sell it as one piece! No the price is not mentionned.
Did anyone else get that email?

It has bogus written all over it.  Here is a big why-- 387 kg exceeds 
the mass
of ejectable material from the surface of Mars by about 380± kgs. The 
problem is
the Goldielocks conundrum:  Not too small-not too large but just 
right.  A
size small too small might make escape velocity but, may be too small 
to survive
entry.  The launching wack has to be just right-- too hard and the 
target gets
vaporized. Too large a a target rock and the inertia results in melting 
entirely
before it can get moving.  The not too small--not too large envelope 
is
theoretically between approx. 2kg up to 5-7(?) kg sized chunks at the 
surface
which survive the just right-- sized impactor. 


To fit this find scenario, multiple rocks--all most identical in 
size, adding
up to 387 kg is statistically impossible in that no less than 76x10kg 
sized
rocks would have to have been gently blasted from the surface of Mars, 
fly in
formation through a perfect trajectory all arriving as a meteor storm 
loosing
not more than half their mass during entry and every last stone would 
have to
have been recovered.
What we believe we know about orbital physics says this is impossible.  
We have
already ruled out the possibility of a single mass making it into orbit 
so this
387 TKM could not be just a few stones-- and really be from Mars.


Any single stone in this recovery(sic) exceeding 5-7kg(no ablation 
loss) is
automatically over the physical limit for a  max-sized Martian 
meteorite as I am
going by memory.  Someone might want to consult McSween's Meteorites 
and their
Parent Bodies to see is calculations. I though he placed a limit of 
around 2±kg
for recovered stone but I believe we did recover a 3-4 kg Martian. Some
inquiring mind might want to post the largest single mass or TKW for a 
single
Martian meteorite.   Note this doesn't rule out the paired falls we 
have where
multiple hand -sized stones were recovered over a very large area.

The fact that the levels of copper, silver, and gold are discussed is 
another
read flag.  I don't keep up with what is commercially mine-able ore but 
for
copper I assume it has to be 5 or more oz per ton for copper and  I 
don't
remember any meteorite chemistry that had more than a few ppb of any of 
those
metals.  The sulfate type ore deposit has yet to be identified on Mars 
but those
are even more fragile than silicate deposits.  Oh and where is the zinc 
this is
after all a sulfate type ore occurrence according to the press release?

The only Glyn Howard I can find a reference to is Glyn Howard, science
teacher/meteoritics scientist, ... Successful Music Teacher and Author 
Continues
Streak of Popular Kids' Books... He has not ever published a peer 
reviewed
classification for a meteorite that I can find but the press release 
says he
classified it himself...  In addition to having bogus written all over 
it, I can
detect the smell of Curry in there somewhere

[meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk meteorite

[Peter Scherff]

I have had an opportunity to see samples of the Chelyabinsk
meteorite. I think that these stones are almost as distinctive as the
fireball was spectacular. 
Many samples have deep fractures. 
Many samples have patches of reddish fusion crust. The reddish crust
may be secondary crust. It formed on broken surfaces or perhaps in the lower
portions of regmaglypts. The reddish crust is smoother than the primary
crust. 
Some samples have a brownish dusty appearance.  Despite being
freshly collected.  
Has anyone else noticed these or other interesting characteristics
of this meteorite?  
Thanks,
Peter

 All nine Chelyabinsk/Chebarkul individuals that I have purchased from
three different foreign sources resemble themselves. The specimens I have
look like they could have come out of that pile that Mike Farmer posted.
Mostly small individuals of less than three grams, black even fusion crust,
no other coloration, regs, no cracking except for a few fracturing in flight
with the result that the interior lithography is covered by black fusion
product. None but a few that I've seen so far show more than the smallest
impact marks and those display a typical grey chondritic, almost Portland
cement color. Most landed on snow so have remained pristine. Heavier pieces
will be recovered when the ice and snow melt. They are strongly attracted to
a neo magnet and set off a detector easily, so I'm a little curious about
the initial classification I've heard. Is LL6 S1 W1 and named
Chebarkuhl..correct? Anyone...Ted?

Hi Jim,

I find this all delightful. Science is messy. Theories compete for
acceptance. The one that best fits the facts and is able to predict future

Hello Alan, Jeff, Mendy,

I find this response somewhat bothersome.

I recently read a paper that little old me, not being anyone close to being
a scientist, can shoot dozens of holes through because of the use of
outdated obsolete information and now I read this from Alan and Jeff, who I
look up to and consider piers in this field.

The fact is, people read these papers, therefore they must be true!!!
It's like the TV commericial where the girl read something on the interenet,
so it must be true because no one can put stuff on the interent that isn't
true!

So, what is going on with these papers?  People are creating papers that are
supposed to be pier reviewed and here we have two piers shooting them down
in a public forum?  What happen to the process of pier review and if this
particular paper is completely wrong! Who were the piers?

I am not going to appologise for being a little critical about this but come
on guys, has it just become a paper mill?  It sure beginning to seem that
way.  I am completely missing the point of publishing papers with outdated
and obsolete information (when the new data is in
hand) and papers that we are reading completely wrong!

I honestly do read these papers and try to ingest as much as I can, but here
of late, it seems I am completely wasting my time reading them and then I
read your responses!  Argh.

 this would be physically difficult, to say the least.

 I think the ideas in this paper are philosophically quite attractive, 
 joining modern research on cosmochronology with dynamical models of 
 the disk.  But despite this new way of thinking, the basic tenets are 
 quite retro.  Many people up through the 1960s hypothesized that 
 chondrules were fragments of igneous rock. Then modern research on 
 them began.  Study after study found problems with these models, many of
which Alan outlined.
 Although the new model is a twist on the old ones, it still is subject 
 to the same tests... and it cannot pass most of them.

 I'll be happy to give my opinion on the paper.  I think it is 
 completely wrong.  Here is my reasoning:
 1. Many chondrules are surrounded by secondary igneous shells, still 
 others by igneous rims.  These shells and rims indicate that the 
 chondrules haev experienced more than one melting event.
 2.  Many FeO-rich (i.e., Type-II) porphyritic olivine chondrules 
 contain relict grains of different FeO contents and different 
 O-isotopic compositions, again indicating multiple melting.  This is 
 very hard in a collision model.
 3.  One might expect molten planetesimals to have well-mixed melts.  
 If the chondrules are mainly from the larger planetesimal (the 
 target) as one would expect, the O isotopic compositions of the 
 chondrules would probably be mass-fractionated and lie on a slope-1/2 
 line on the standard three-isotope diagram.  We don't see this.
 4.  One might also expect that as the planestimal melted and began to 
 crystallize, it would become chemically fractionated, unlike the 
 unfractionated, solar, compositions of chondrules in primitive
chondrites.
 5. The occurrence of microchondrules in the fine-grained rims around 
 some normal-size chondrules and the apparent melting of pyroxene at 
 the outer surface of the chondrule to form the microchondrules 
 indicates chondrule melting by a mechanism capable of melting only 
 the outer surface of the chondrule.  This is totally inconsistent 
 with the formation by splashing by the collision of molten planetesimals.
 6. There are correlations between chondrule size, the proportion of 
 different chondrule types, the proportion of those with igneous rims 
 and secondary shells that are difficult to explain by splashing but 
 come naturally to a model invoking multiple melting in dusty nebular
regions.
 7. The non-spherical shapes of most CO chondrules indicates very 
 rapid cooling or else they would have collapsed into spheres. This 
 might be okay except for the fact that the large size of their

 an atmosphere, and a specific directional pull of gravity. I've read 
 that, on the moon, where resistance of the atmosphere is negligible, 
 if not absolutely nil, two objects of unlike densities will be pulled 
 downwards at an equal rate (they say, even an elephant and feather 
 will be pulled downward at the same rate, only being resisted by 
 gravitational pull from other objects in the universe, I figure). If 
 those observations are correct (and I'm not entirely sure they, 
 although, it seems as if they very well may be, to me), then we've 
 identified two situations, 1. one in which mass and density with 
 relation to shape/and orientation does matter, but sum shape/volume 
 (short for what determines air resistance) does not, for if an object 
 is twice the size of the other, although not twice as dense, but an 
 equal density, and shape, and orientation, it will fall at the same 
 rate, because the ratio between its own mass and air-displacing 
 profile is equal (I am not saying this law is universal, at all 
 scales, but for practical purposes maybe it is?), and 2. another, in 
 which, shape and orientation don't matter, and nor does the mass, or 
 the density .
  So, finally, my question is this: Do we have a third situation in 
 which mass and density has a negligible effect, but air resistance due 
 to shape and orientation does (That is to say, compensating for 
 gravitational pull correlating to mass, or in a vector in which this 
 is negated, the objects would encounter particles travelling at 
 them.)? Again, it's somewhat difficult to imagine, but if there were 
 such a scenario, would a large heavy object, NOT be held more still 
 than a proportionally lighter and smaller object, but RATHER less so?
 Hence, for a fourth time, would higher inertia be totally detached 
 from correlating to higher mass, thus correlating only with lower air 
 resistance, ie better aerodynamics?
  One might think that a bolide does not fit these criteria (or 
 support this thesis), since the larger, generally less aerodynamic 
 pieces tend to travel farthest, but is this not a result of these 
 particles having been subject to less air resistance, in sum, than the 
 smaller particles, which had broken from the outer surfaces of these 
 very objects, due to the very momentum the main masses carried, in 
 effect, absorbing the shock for them, somewhat (meaning they it is not 
 for lack of momentum, due to lower mass, that they end up travelling 
 less far)?

Hi Darryl,

It sounds as if this is a very exciting project. 

Since the exhibited is in Israel I think you should include a
display about Israel's first astronaut, Ilan Ramon. He was killed in the
Columbia crash. Portions of his diary survived the crash. If you could
display a page of it I think it would be a highlight of the Expo. Even a
replica of a page would be of great interest. 

I think you should strongly consider the scale Solar System. I would
use a scale similar to the one that the Boston Science Museum used.

f-science The planets need not be in a line the planets could radiate out
from the Sun at the Expo. I think that it is more important that they be in
exciting places. They will serve as advertisements for the expo. I can
imagine a social media aspect to the display where people post pictures of
themselves and their friends at the planets.

Thanks,

Hi

I want to thank everyone for their input.  For those taking their first
peek, I would like to know the coolest things you've experienced at an
exploratorium/museum that pertain to space and space travel-or any other
ideas you have pertaining to the same. 


As it regards further details of the expo in which I'm involved

There will be approximately 30,000 square feet devoted to this endeavor
which will take place in the most modern exhibition venue in Tel Aviv.
(There was a jazz festival which occurred in the same space last year and
the production (sound  lights, staging, rigging, set design) was among the
best I've experienced). 

The exhibition will contain space memorabilia as well as detailed, full-size
replicas of Mercury and Apollo capsules (the latter was used in the film
Apolllo 13)-as well as the replica of the space shuttle cockpit used in all
big budget films and advertisements.  And there will be meteorites! (I mean,
after they ramped me in, how could there not be  ;-)  as well as the
Peekskill Meteorite Car.

There is a lot of room for possibilities for both group as well as
individual exploratorium experiences.  It is estimated that over the course
of the summer 225,000 visitors will spend on-average approximately 2 1/2
hours at the exhibit, so there is not much that can be done in terms of
small group let's build this efforts.  To use Larry's phraseology, most of
this exhibit is geared to wandering by.

Hoping this further clarifies the nature of this event.   Keep those ideas
rollingLarry, please send me your number, I can't seem to find it.  


All the best and thanks again / Darryl

 Hi Darryl:
 
 Yes, a little more information would be good.
 
 How much space (no pun) do you have (floor or table)? How interactive 
 do you want it to be and how many people are there to support what you do?
 Some activities can be done without a person involved others need a 
 real person to run it.
 
 Building (and commenting) on what Peter suggested with respect to 
 activities we have done in large venues:
 
 Solar System scale model: takes some space and better if you use one 
 that is not just stringing them out in a line. You can do size 
 comparison separate from distance and there are ways to actually have 
 them make the planet with clay, but this takes time.
 
 Comet making can be fun, but for a large venue, probably best to do as 
 a demo. Takes supplies and can get messy.
 
 I just did a variation of our Earth/Moon size and distance where you 
 have
 50 balls of clay and put them into two piles (totaling 50) to 
 represent the size of the Moon relative to the Earth (40 and 10, 35 
 and 15, etc.) and then do the relative distance. Works well with 
 hundreds going by over time.
 
 What you can do depends on the venue and the age group and whether or 
 not they just wander by or you have them in a group.
 
 I could continue this conversation off line, if you want.

 Hi Darryl,
 
 Just a few quick thoughts:
 
 Scale model of the solar system
 Meteorite hunting in a salted strewn field with magnet canes 
 digital polarizing microscope with a cool thin section spectroscope 
 Mars rover race Make a comet telescope observing
 
 Many of these ideas may not work for you. Could you tell us more 
 about the event?

Hi List,

Quick question for hammer collectors :

If meteorites are recovered from this event, and these recovered meteorites did 
not actually strike anything manmade, would this fall still have any reason to 
be labeled as a hammer ?

Does damage from an impact shockwave count towards this fall being a hammer?

I know this is sticky issue to some - the term hammer fall is not widely 
accepted and it's validity has been hotly debated on this list previously.  
This Russian event is spectacular for many reasons and does not need to be 
promoted to hammer status if it doesn't deserve such status.

Possible labels for this fall :

1) fall (of course)

2) witnessed fall (duh!)

3) observed fall (yes)

4) hammer fall (? - questionable at best)

5) crater-maker (does a hole in an ice-sheet count as a crater?)

6) wake-up call : time to start seriously considering an effective system to 
detect these small threats which fall under the size-detection threshold of 
larger observing networks.  It's amazing that an object with the power to 
flatten a city slipped through undetected, despite most of the world's 
telescopes being pointed upwards for about  a month preceding the impact.

[meteorite-list] the preposition before

[Peter Scherff]

Hi,
With the lively discussion about fall/find terminology recently
going on I thought that it is a good time to ask the lists opinion (if it i
ever a good time to ask the list for an opinion) about a preposition that I
have started to add to my descriptions of meteorites. The preposition that I
am talking about is before.  I often insert before between found and
the date i.e. Found before 1576. To me this acknowledges the truth that the
meteorite was known to exist prior to is discovery by western society.
Before also indicates that there may be an interesting pre-discovery
history. So my questions to the list are: Does my use of before make a
difference to you? Is it confusing or informative? Or is it just a waste of
ink and electrons?

Thanks,

Peter

Re: [meteorite-list] BLM and Meteorite Recovery Policy

[Peter Scherff]

In the US there tends to be an urban rural split in the way we view
government. People in urban areas tend to see the government as protecting
individual’s rights. The government will stop my neighbor from playing loud
music at night, it will make that jerk down the street pick up after his
dog, it will tow the car that is blocking my garage and it will close the
park at night to reduce crime.  Whereas people from rural areas are more
likely to view the government as taking away their rights. Property rights
are under the most government pressure in rural areas the government may
prevent people from cutting   down their own trees,
limit where you can graze your cattle or forbid bid you from building a wind
turbine. Each of these perspectives is valid and no amount of debate is
likely to changesomeone’s views. 
One thing about the BLM regulations (not laws) is the prohibition on the
sales of meteorites found on BLM lands. That prohibition will just create a
black market for these meteorites that will keep them out of the hands of
science. I believe that a “free market” for meteorites encourages people to
hunt for meteorites. The more people hunting the more meteorites found. The
more meteorites found the more meteorites that can be studied by scientists.
So please BLM, use the permitting process to make it easy for “commercial”
hunters to collect meteorites on BLM managed land. Perhaps the terms of the
permit could be something along the lines of a $100 onetime fee that would
allow the hunter to hunt on BLM managed land. If the permits require
environmental impact statements and/or large fees none will be sought or
issued.

Hello Jodie,
You're nit-picking terminology more than anything else.  They may not own
the land, but it's under their jurisdiction.  A policeman may not own his
sidearm, yet you being a citizen, are still not allowed to use his publicly
owned property.  He has jurisdiction over it.

The above analogy is funky because the sidearm serves a purpose for the
policeman, whereas the meteorite simply holds scientific and monetary value.
But when I see spectacular meteorites like the 300 pound main mass of
Glorietta Mountain diced and sold for personal profit, I believe that
constitutes misuse of public property.  And since we're talking about
meteorites that belong to the public, my opinion is a valid one.

Why do you think I included the references to the local Occupy the Farm
idiots over here in Berkeley?  They decided that UC-managed land was as good
as theirs, and that they could do what they want with it.

That's not how public property works.

If it's owned by the federal government and managed by the BLM, the BLM
gets to set the rules.  You may not like the way that the BLM runs things,
but the system was put in place by politicians we, the people, voted into
positions of power.  In this case, it sounds like many meteorite dealers
have a special interest (e.g. meteorite
hunting/selling) and care about policies that the BLM is enacting --
policies that the population at large does not care about.  If the minority
is loud enough, they might change things to the way they want them to be.
If they can't manage that, well, this is a democracy.

Our government may not own anything at all, but I'm glad that they have
the power to manage large areas of land, because corporations and private
citizens are not capable of responsibly keeping many areas of land -- and
especially areas of natural interest -- safe *or* clean.  We know that for a
fact.

And organizations like the BLM need money to do that.  Since the permits
mentioned in the BLM regulations are only necessary for those who will
profit from exploiting resources on land managed by BLM land (selling
meteorites), I see no problem with the regulations.  What's a
$100(?) permit compared with the sale value of ten pounds of meteorites
(4,510 grams) from the American Southwest?  Nothing.

I'm all for smaller government and less bureaucracy, but all of this
libertarian stuff is getting on my nerves.  The BLM serves a purpose, and,
as best I can tell, you're pissed off because of a few incompetent
employees.  That's not a good reason to simply forego any oversight on vast
tracts of American land that would no doubt be abused immediately without
oversight...and are abused, regardless, but to a lesser extent.  I've spent
more time in the desert than most, and know that much firsthand.  If you
want to reform the BLM, that's a whole different issue.

Regards,

Jason

List, Ed, Jim,

The phrase ashtray belt can be found in all follow-on news stories like
this one:
http://www.ksbw.com/news/central-california/salinas/Stunning-meteor-showers-
wow-Central-Coast-sky-watchers/-/5738906/17042872/-/dia4eb/-/index.html

This is because it originally appeared in the first Associated Press story.
It was shortly thereafter corrected, but every source that used that AP item
before the correction has the ashtray belt quote in it.

It was a reporter's mishearing the phrase asteroid belt that gave rise to
it, I presume, but how long will the story stick to Jonathan Braidman, an
astronomer at Oakland's Chabot Space and Science Center?

He'll be living in the Ashtray Belt for a heck of a long time...

 The Oakland Tribune reports the exploding streaks were especially 
 visible
 Wednesday night over the San Francisco Bay area and other parts of 
 Northern
 California, with reports of bright fireballs and loud booms from 
 Santa Cruz
 County to Mendocino County.

 Happened to look over, saw like a crescent shaped object, reddish 
 orange
 in color, Edward Pierce told KGO-TV. As it went away it started 
 getting
 larger. Kind of expanding.

 Jonathan Braidman, an astronomer at Oakland's Chabot Space and 
 Science
 Center, told the station what Pierce and others saw were small, 
 car-sized
 pieces  of rock and metal from the ashtray belt.

 It crashed through the earth's atmosphere, ionizing and setting the 
 air on
 fire in its wake, he said.

 National Weather Service forecaster Steve Anderson tells the Tribune 
 that
 warm temperatures and cloud-free skies are making the bright lights 
 more
 visible, a phenomenon that should only increase as the weekend 
 approaches and
 the shower continues.

 The fireballs are part of the large, fast Orionid meteor shower, 
 so-named
 because it has the Orion constellation as a backdrop.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite of Anu

[Peter Scherff]

Hi Phil,

The epic of Gilgamesh is a great tale. Here is  what I think it  is
about:

The passage that you refer to has 2 dreams in it, in the first the
meteorite of Anu is falling and in the   second an ax appears at the gate to
his marital chamber.  The meteorite of Anu is an omen. It  foretells   of
the coming of a powerful man who Gilgamesh will compete with and love as he
would his wife.  His next dream about the axe has the same meaning.
Needless to say the dreams come true with the arrival of Enkidu, the primal
man who becomes Gilgamesh's sidekick and lover.  They each tried to outdo
the other. 
The meteorite of Anu appears in an earlier Babylonian tale.  The dream is
similar but the King is able to lift the meteorite with the help of his
nobles.  He doth not make love to it as he did in the latter Assyrian
version. In the  earlier  version  a meteorite  was a thing  to be
controlled by  man  or at least   by a man- god  like Gilgamesh.  By the
time  the Assyrian version is recorded  the meteorite  is  beyond  man's
control  and  is immovable  and  worshiped  as a god.  It is   possible that
an actual meteorite fell near the time of the writing of the Babylonian
version. When the Assyrian version  was recorded  the  truth of the
meteorite  had  faded  and  all that  was  left of it  was its mythic power.


Thanks,

Peter

Gilgamesh got up and revealed the dream, saying to his mother:
Mother, I had a dream last night.
Stars of the sky appeared,
and some kind of meteorite of Anu fell next to me.
I tried to lift it but it was too mighty for me, I tried to turn it over but
I could not budge it.
The Land of Uruk was standing around it, the whole land had assembled about
it, the populace was thronging around it, the Men clustered about it, and
kissed its feet as if it were a little baby.
I loved it and embraced it as a wife.
I laid it down at your feet,
and you made it compete with me.

Re: [meteorite-list] New BLM Rules

[Peter Scherff]

Hi,

My understanding of meteorite ownership law in the USA is that the
meteorite belongs to the land owner. In the Old Woman case the government
exercised its right to meteorites found on government land. Meteorite
hunters have been lucky that the government has not claimed all finds. I
think that the government would have been within the law to do so. So this
new rule gives meteorite hunters an clear right to keep the meteorites they
find (up to 10 pounds). This rule gives meteorite hunters more not less
rights. It all depends on your point of view. 

Thanks,

Peter

 I have been in communications with the BLM on and off all day.  Art,

 Here is the first response:

 Dear Mr. Wooddell: The application fee is dependent on the time it 
 takes for BLM to process the project proposal in the application. This 
 would be determined by the field office manager after the application 
 is submitted and reviewed. These fees would be estimated for you prior 
 to the processing of the application, and would include monitoring 
 fees as well.  The permit application/ permit is 2920-1 attached; fees 
 would be on page 2 when a permit is issued.  Some examples of what the 
 fees would be can be found on the following web site and one example 
 is attached. http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/lands.html You 
 mentioned a nation-wide permit in your email.  BLM issues permits on 
 a local level, and at maximum could be on a state-wide level, for 
 lands that we administer in the Western States. Thank you,Lucia Kuizon
 ---

 I am not going to post their second response but they are now aware of 
 some issues that may or may not change the wording.

 I feel it is imperative for NASA to reach out and support hunters on 
 this issue in regards to the need to hunt fresh falls immediately, 
 without delay of some permit process.  While they are claiming media 
 sparked this, most of us knew it was coming, just did not know when or 
 how the wording would be.

 The current fee structure is twofold.  1.  The application / permit.
 2.  The monitoring fee.  Currently the fees will range from ~$100 to
 ~$1100 for commercial huntersthose seeking profit.  This is based 
 on their current cost recovery methods.  I have both the application 
 and the fee schedule as example based on the above response.  If 
 anyone wants them shoot me a private email.

 The big issue for hunters is that this will be based on a regional 
 level where each district supervisor may or may not have special 
 conditions, etc.  Bottom line is that it will be required to have 
 permits in different hunting areas and could greatly increase overhead 
 for professional hunters.  If hunters have to wait for a permit 
 process during a meteor event that produces meteorites, I feel science 
 looses.

 Jim

Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Gibeon Anvil Slices, update and new photos

[Peter Scherff]

Hi Steve,
Thanks for offering the rarest of the rare, the Gibeon anvil slice. It 
is now the center piece of my collection. For a long time I have been looking 
to add a meteorite used as a tool to my collection and you finally made it 
possible. I can't believe that you have not sold out of these great slices. I 
think your offering is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I think that the intersection between man and meteorites is the most 
interesting part about studying meteorites. I mean I love what we can learn 
about the formation of the solar system from the study of meteorites. But I 
find it difficult to relate to a protoplanetary disk. However I can readily 
imagine what it must have been like to be the only kid on the block to be able 
forge iron. Finding some “heavenly iron” must truly have been a gift from the 
gods back in the pre-iron age. 
I recall as a child wanting to touch a harpoon made from a piece of 
Cape York. When as an adult I learned that King Tut had a dagger made from 
meteoritic iron I thought how cool is that. I was disappointed when I learned 
that the fabled guns given to President James Monroe were not in fact made from 
Campo del Cielo iron meteorites despite stories to the contrary. The highlight 
of my trip to ASU was holding the barrete that Nininger purchased which was 
manufactured from a Toluca meteorite. You could still see the widmanstatten 
lines showing in the tool. Last on my list of great tool meteorites is the 
Tucson Ring. A beautiful meteorite made greater by being used as an anvil.
Now I own a meteorite that was a tool. I can see the deformed widmanstatten 
pattern and imagine the countless blows that it took in its life as an anvil. I 
can imagine the power and status that would flow to someone who could work 
these rare pieces of iron into useful tools and weapons.  
Thanks again for allowing me to add a meteorite tool to my collection. I 
thought that they would forever be out of my reach. 
Peter

Hey List,

Just a quick notice, I do have a few more Gibeon Anvil slices up for
sale at the $499 sale price (marked down from $900).   I was able to
re-polish them, re-etch them, get the acid in the cavities (squished
regmaglypts) neutralized this time around, so it would stop over etching after 
I wanted it to stop.  And these look AMAZING now.  100% improvement.  They even 
took fairly good photos.  But like most irons, they still look better in your 
hand as you can turn them to capture the light just right with them.

Here are the new photos:

I also have what I feel is the best one remaining out of the batch up on Ebay 
on a 3 day sale here:

For those not aware, the story of this specimen was written up in the current 
issue of Meteorite Magazine and you can go back into the archives and read my

Hi Brend,

Leslie Peltier was, in a small way, responsible for getting me
interested in astronomy  meteorites. My mother grew up down the road from
him in Delphos, Ohio. He would show the local kids his new discoveries, my
mother was one of the kids. Her interest in the heavens was passed down to
me. It was not until later that I discovered that the guy down the road
was Leslie Peltier. On day I was reading Starlight Nights and my mother saw
the author's name. After that I was very jealous of the views she had thru
his telescope.

In November 1969, then-U.S. President Richard Nixon requested NASA fabricate
approximately 250 displays for distribution by the White House containing
lunar surface material and the flags of 135 nations, U. S. possessions and
states.

Each presentation included 0.05 grams of dust (encased in lucite) retrieved
by the Apollo 11 astronauts, as well as a flag of the recepient nation
carried aboard the mission.

The displays presented to foriegn nations were inscribed:

 
Presented to the People of  by Richard Nixon, President of
the United States of America.

This Flag of Your Nation was Carried to the Moon and Back by Apollo 11
and This Fragment of the Moon's Surface was Brought to Earth by the Crew of
That First Manned Lunar Landing. 

(With exception of the plaque for Venezuela, when it was discovered that the
country's flag was not carried aboard Apollo 11. Instead, a flag flown on
Apollo 12 was used with the following wording: This flag of your nation was
carried to the moon and back, and this fragment of the moon's surface was
brought to earth by the crew of the first manned lunar landing.)

Thanks,

Peter

Greetings List,

It is hard to tell exact scale in the photo (in the article that Count
posted), but it looks like 4 Bessey specks suspended inside a marble of
clear acrylic (or lucite, or ?).  I had always assumed that the Apollo moon
rocks the US government distributed to various countries were much larger -
perhaps acorn sized fragments, or a decent part-slice or something.
Apparently we were giving away crumb-sized micros.

Or maybe, a given nation's relative value to the US as an ally may have
dictated by how much Apollo material they received.  And poor Nicaragua only
merited a few specks.  LOL.

Best regards,

MikeG

That was good news coverage of the case.

 

Fortunately, Curry has taken on an inculpable attitude with an obvious
arrogance of Deny, deny, deny. I didn't think they were fake, so I'm not
guilty!

He will find out soon enough that this just p***es everyone off in the

sentencing.

I have a few questions about known strewn fields of the world.  I have read
a few research papers on some fields, but I am really looking for specific
answers to some of my crazy questions.



So, first question:  Does anyone know of confirmed strewn fields anywhere in
the world where the larger stones of each independent field are found less
than 1 mile of each other with different classifications?



Second question:  If you do, what are the names of these fields and the
research documents that show the evidence???



Third question:  What do you think the odds of 2 or three strewn fields all 
ending on the large side in an area of less than 1 mile apart and to a 
greater extent less than ¼ mile apart could be???  Would the odds be better 
than winning the Mega Millions Lottery?



Thanks!

Re: [meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology

[Peter Scherff]

Hi Mike,

I too didn't like the DonorsChoice.org site. According the site they
will give a $600 camera to the teacher/school if the get $900 in donations.
Great for the teacher, but not the best use of the donor's funds. I spent 2
seconds of Google time and I found the same camera almost $100 cheaper than
DonorsChoice.org quoted. I think that I would love the profit margin that
DonorsChoice has.

Thanks,

Peter

Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but the contribution mechanism kind of
annoyed me.

I think few things are more deserving of support than a teacher taking the
initiative to make science exciting and compelling to young people.   I
nearly contributed, but then ran into some deal-breakers:

While the 'DonorsChoose.org' web site does accept contributions by PayPal,
they require that the donor 'pay-by-check' . . .  The whole idea of PayPal
is to not share unnecessarily your personal info.  I would accept PayPal as
it functions on ebay. . . . payee gets my email, my address, and the money.

Secondly, once you share your email, there seems no way to 'opt-out'
of being hit up with unrelated requests.

I appreciate it when a person who shares a common interest sends me info
about a worthy cause.  Case in point: I recently contributed to the project
discussed at the URL  http://projectfreedom.bbnow.org/about.php  , but it
was because another recumbent bike enthusiast referred me to the site. 
Shared interest is the basis of 'community'.

But I don't want some anonymous ''organizing entrepreneur' who accepts an
(OPTIONAL???) donation equal to 17% of a project's costs deciding what I
need to learn about next.  And emailing me a steady stream of
'opportunities' to make 'optional' donations to his personal pocket.
I get way too many unfocused solicitations as it is.

That 17% seems a hefty cut to 'OPTIONALLY' accept for the service of sharing
info, and processing the collection of EFTs.  Just how optional is
optional?  The verbiage alone sets my teeth on edge.

OK, end of off topic rant.

Hope everyone has a nice day!

 Hello everyone,

 As many of you have seen, slices of a beautiful new pallasite 
 Conception Junction, Missouri USA were first made available late in 
 2011.  http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=53877

 Much of the material has been sold and the remaining inventory can be 
 viewed at http://conceptionjunctionpallasite.com

 Please take a look.

At age 69, finding a meteorite in the wild is very high on my bucket list.
I understand that my best bet in AZ would be in the Holbrook strewn field.
Can anybody suggest the whereabouts of a place there where I could start
looking?  GPS coordinates would be extremely helpful but any directions

Thank you very much,
