Hello Listers I would like to thank everyone that submitted their answers for the POP QUIZ. The question was: Please tell me the meteorite sample that Biot used to compare samples from the L'Aigle meteorite fall in 1803 in France. Answer: Barbotan I would like to congratulate Mal B for being the first to submit the correct answer :) and he will be winning a Sutter's Mill meteorite sample. For those of you that like to read up on historic meteorite falls, I was able to obtain the report done by Biot on the L'Aigle fall and tried to have it translated from french to english at google translator and abstracted the section the talks about the meteorite sample Biot took with him to L'Aigle. Enjoy the read :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 http://www.ebay.com/sch/ph0t0phl0w/m.html? Before starting my research, I thought it necessary to classify systematically the facts on which (9) I ought to direct my comments primarily and accordingly I met in the following table: [From the existence of stone-cal weather in the hands of the inhabitants of the country. / Pes traces or debris that would have been left or caused by the meteor. [The mineralogical and geological circumstances of the country. RDU testimony of those who saw and heard the meteor. ^ From the testimony of those who heard the meteor without seeing it. ^ From the testimony of those who, being at the scene, sought and obtained information respecting the existence of the meteor and its effects. Before leaving, I collected these questions all the information I was able to procure. I prayed to the citizen Haiiy to kindly enlighten me with his knowledge of what concerned the mineralogy of the country I was going to go. The citizen Coquebert Montbret corresponding class, gives me the knowledge which I needed were on the physical geography of the country. Finally the citizen Fourcroy was willing to give me a copy of the letters he received the L’Aigle avpit relation to the appearance of the meteor. I left Paris on 7 Messidor, taking with me • a compass, a map of Cassini, and a sample of the meteoric stone of Barbotan, which had been handed over to the scene to our colleague Cuvier: I intended to use it as term of comparison, and see what it originally assigner orient the inhabitants of the canton where you disquiet he was dropped from similar. But I went not directly in this very place. If the explosion of the meteor had really been so violent that we annonçoit, we ought to have heard the noise at a considerable distance. It was therefore consistent with the rules of criticism to take first information in remote locations, on this extraordinary noise, on the day and time that we had heard, to follow directions, and I be led by the testimony until the very spot where it was said that the meteor had exploded. I was to gather and to a large extent of country, comparable renseignemcns 5 because of the noise and the circumstances of the explosion, the evidence ought to agree, somewhere they were collected. Besides all stories related to meteoric masses are preceded their fall by the appearance of a ball of fire. It was important to know if the meteor of the L’Aigle had been accompanied by the same circumstances, and it was near the scene of the explosion that I could make sure.

Hello Listers I would like to thank everyone that sent in their answers for POP QUIZ FRIDAYS The question was True or Fales All Angrites are non breccias? The answer is true. All Angrites to this date have no brecciation. I would like to congrat BarrettWF for emailing me with the correct answer and will be winning a free Murray meteorite sample. Some interesting facts about Angrites Only 2 angrites out of the whole class are shocked. I wonder which two those are :) To this date, scientists are still unsure where angrites come from. Some have proposed they came from Mercury, other have suggested from a parent body that is about the same size as Vesta. Scientists have noted, due to the low level of shock and lack of brecciation, Angrites could have been stored in smaller bodies in the size range of 10km in diameter for 4.5Gyr which is suggestive with the low shock and no brecciation. So does this mean the parent body Angrites came from was severely affect by a catastrophic event causing the parent body to be distroyed and only leaving small bodies? Only time will tell.

[meteorite-list] POP QUIZ ANSWER
Doug and Lister, It’s clear that you haven’t read the first post completely and I see your changing your answer to 1802 from 186? something. What’s next, you’re going to agree with me :). At any rate, I’ll have to repeat myself again and maybe this time you will see. QUOTED from Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756–1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research by Ursula B. MARVIN Marvin STATES as follows Benares, India, 1798 A dazzling ball of fire exploded across a serene evening sky near Benares, India, at 8 P.M. on December 19, 1798, heralding a large shower of stones. Early in 1799, Sir Joseph Banks in London received a letter from John Lloyd Williams (about 1765–1838) in India describing the fireball and the appearance of the stones. All of them, he said, had hard black crusts like varnish or bitumen and whitish, gritty interiors with many small spherical bodies interspersed with bright shining grains of metal or pyrite. Williams (in Howard 1802: 179) concluded: Now again, you Sir Banks is a key player and had received this letter in 1799 well before 1802 from Williams. And if you have read Howards report you would also know that the Benares meteorite was the key meteorite in that report and which was most talked about concerning small spherical bodies aka chondrules of any know meteorite at that time. Here is a quote from Howards report... The stones which fell at Benares, are those of which the mineralogical characters are the most striking. If you go and read the whole report which I did, you will find the it was the Benares that had the perfect examples of spherical bodies aka chondrules which at that time the word wasn’t coined till 1869 by Gustav Rose which also can be found in Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756–1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research by Ursula B. MARVIN on page 34. Now your argument now is based on publication well my pop quiz question isn’t about publication, mine is on chondrules and it seems that Eremeeva, A. I. that wrote Two forgotten pioneers of meteoritics - The discoverers of chondrules and etching figures in meteorites, feels the same way on who discovered chondrules first. Here is an abstract that states A survey of the historical data shows that chondrules were discovered by John Lloyd Williams in 1799, as a result of the study of the Benares meteorite. source http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1988KIzND..104E If you like to read another source that talks about Williams letter here is another link that would be good to look at.. http://books.google.com/books?id=UPg3AQAAIAAJpg=PA255lpg=PA255dq=John+Lloyd+Williams+in+1799+meteoritesource=blots=7IH2AqE9ltsig=9kdVFN4BhBwOMmk_T0bQxpuqcbUhl=enei=e8RzTteyEsnw0gGsgrnwDQsa=Xoi=book_resultct=resultresnum=1ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepageqf=false And on last thing to add This is the conclusion on Howards report It will appear, from a collected view of the preceding pages and authorities, that a number of stones asserted to have fallen under similar circumstances, have precisely the same characters. The stones from Benares, the stone from Yorkshire, that from Sienna, and a fragment of one from Bohemia, have a relation to each other not to be questioned. 1st. They have all pyrites of a peculiar character. sdly. They have all a coating of black oxide of iron, gdly. They all contain an alloy of iron and nickel. And, 4th!yc The earths which serve to them as a sort of connecting medium, correspond in their nature, and nearly in their proportions. Moreover, in the stones from Benares, pyrites and globular bodies are exceedingly distinct. In the others they are more or less definite ; and that from Sienna had one of its globules transparent. Meteors, or lightning, attended the descent of the stones at Benares, and at Sienna. Such coincidence of circumstances, and the unquestionable authorities I have adduced, must, I imagine, remove all doubt as to the descent of these stony substances ; for, to disbelieve on the mere ground of incomprehensibility, would be to dispute most of the works of nature.

Hello Listers I would like to thank everyone that submitted their answers for this weeks POP QUIZ FRIDAYS. Question In what year were chondrules first discovered in aerolites aka meteorites? Answer 1799 I am sorry but no one got the question right. But all hope is not lost cause there is still a winner. All the people that sent in their answer sent in 1802( even the best of the best sent in this answer and I spoke with some people and suggested I make a winner from the 10th incorrect answers cause it was so close). Good guess, I would have to say that was the year that was the first publication that first talked about spherical granulated substances found in aerolites(meteorites), but was not when they were first observed. In Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756–1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research by Ursula B. MARVIN Marvin points out the first incident a scientist first observed these chondrules in a meteorite. Benares, India, 1798 A dazzling ball of fire exploded across a serene evening sky near Benares, India, at 8 P.M. on December 19, 1798, heralding a large shower of stones. Early in 1799, Sir Joseph Banks in London received a letter from John Lloyd Williams (about 1765–1838) in India describing the fireball and the appearance of the stones. All of them, he said, had hard black crusts like varnish or bitumen and whitish, gritty interiors with many small spherical bodies interspersed with bright shining grains of metal or pyrite. Williams (in Howard 1802: 179) concluded: I shall only observe, that it is well known there are no volcanoes on the continent of India; and, as far as I can learn, no stones have been met with in the earth, in that part of the world, which bear the smallest resemblance to those above described. On reading the letter, Sir Joseph was struck by the apparent similarities between the Benares stones and the samples he had obtained from the falls at Siena and Wold Cottage. Judging that it was time for serious scientific investigations, he handed his two samples to the accomplished young chemist, Edward C. Howard (1774– 1816) and asked him to analyze them. In December 1800, Banks presented the Copley Medal, the Royal Society’s highest honor, to Howard for his discovery of the fulminate of mercury. In his presentation speech, Banks made it clear that he believed a new field of research was opening (Sears 1975: 218): Mr. Howard . . . is now employed in the analysis of certain stones, generations in the air by fiery meteors, the component parts of which will probably open a new field of speculation and discussion to mineralogists as well as to meteorologists. source http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1996M%26PS...31..545M PAGE 30 Here is another account of Williams work with the Benares fall and observations At length, in 1799, an account of stones fallen in the East Indies was sent to the president, by John Lloyd Williams, Esq. which, by its unquestionable authenticity, and by the striking resemblance it bears to other accounts of fallen stones, mult remove all prejudice. Mr. Williams has since drawn up the following more detailed narrative of facts. Account of the Explosion of a Meteor, near Benares, in the East Explosion of a Indies; and of the falling of some Stones at the fame Time, me^°r t^ about 14 Miles from lluii City. By John Lloyd Williams, falling of tome Esq. F. R. S. stones «the fame time. A circumstance of so extraordinary a nature as the fall of stones from the heavens, could not fail to excite the wonder, and attract the attention of every inquisitive mind. Among a superstitious people, any preternatural appearance is viewed with silent awe and reverence; attributing the causes to the will of the Supreme Being, they do not presume to judge the means by which they were produced, nor the purposes for which they were ordered; and we are naturally led to suspect the influence of prejudice and superstition, in their descriptions of such phenomena; my inquiries were therefore chiefly directed to the Europeans, who were but thinly dispersed about that part of the country. The information I obtained was, that on the i 9th of De- Narrative, cember, 179S, about eight o'clock in the evening, a very luminous meteor was observed in the heavens, by the inhabitants of Benares and the parts adjacent, in the form of a large ball LarEe ta of - ,. , . , , , , , , ,. fire with noise Oi fire; that it was accompanied by a loud noile, reiembling thumbs. thunder; and that a number of stones were said to have fallen from it, near Krakhut, a village on the north side of the river Goomty, about 14 miles from the city of Benares. The meteor appeared in the western part of the hemisphere, and was but a short time visible: it was observed by several Europeans, as well as natives, in different parts of the country
Re: [meteorite-list] POP QUIZ ANSWER
Shawn wrote, refering to the application of the word chondrule: But I would like to add it wasnt till 1869 that the word chondrules was coined by Gustav Rose. This is an error, Shawn. It was alledgedly 1863. And in 1864, we had the first observation by a scientist of a chondrule, who invented the microscope for thin sections and made true scientific observation on meteorites. That is why the answer should be 1864. This is the period that a better understand was achieved that the granules we now call chondrules were distinguished petrologically as we do today (just look at the publications of science vs. layterms today when researching chondrules). While other scientists may have mentioned spherical or granulated things and made various comments relating to them, specific or no so much so, that is not a clear scientific leap by any means regarding chrondrules in my opinion. When I am in strewn fields working with peasants, they are quite sharp at recognizing chondrules in many cases, and without anyone pointing them out to them. So I would hardly credit your reference with anything of value except anectotal. Once you find a not too cooked chondrite, it's as obvious as pointing out that a face has a nose and eyes. Shawn wrote: Marvin points out the first incident a scientist first observed these chondrules in a meteorite. Does she point this out and suggest it was the first incidence of observed chondrules? Or does she mention an incident? It is foolish to ascribe too much significance to the indirect reference you happened to find IMO. No time to go through your document link, but I suspect you are making a biased interpretation of this passing comment because you already know something the original investigators were clueless about. While it has the word spherical, it is hard for me to believe that this was the first reference though it is very clear. The common knowledge before that was a sandstone appearance; and prior to your reference year, granules were defnitely pointed out. I think the jury is still out on this one, since it would require a complete collation in all languages to determine who said what and when, rather than make such a sweeping statement without giving Troili (1766) and others more credit in a level context.

This is an error, Shawn. It was alledgedly 1863. And in 1864, we had the first observation by a scientist of a chondrule, who invented the microscope for thin sections and made true scientific observation on meteorites. That is why the answer should be 1864. This is the period that a better understand was achieved that the granules we now call chondrules were distinguished petrologically as we do today (just look at the publications of science vs. layterms today when researching chondrules). While other scientists may have mentioned spherical or granulated things and made various comments relating to them, specific or no so much so, that is not a clear scientific leap by any means regarding chrondrules in my opinion. When I am in strewn fields working with peasants, they are quite sharp at recognizing chondrules in many cases, and without anyone pointing them out to them. So I would hardly credit your reference with anything of value except anectotal. Once you find a not too cooked chondrite, it's as obvious as pointing out that a face has a nose and eyes. Shawn wrote: Marvin points out the first incident a scientist first observed these chondrules in a meteorite. Does she point this out and suggest it was the first incidence of observed chondrules? Or does she mention an incident? It is foolish to ascribe too much significance to the indirect reference you happened to find IMO. No time to go through your document link, but I suspect you are making a biased interpretation of this passing comment because you already know something the original investigators were clueless about. While it has the word spherical, it is hard for me to believe that this was the first reference though it is very clear. The common knowledge before that was a sandstone appearance; and prior to your reference year, granules were defnitely pointed out. I think the jury is still out on this one, since it would require a complete collation in all languages to determine who said what and when, rather than make such a sweeping statement without giving Troili (1766) and others more credit in a level context.

Question In what year were chondrules first discovered in aerolites aka meteorites? Answer 1799 I am sorry but no one got the question right. But all hope is not lost cause there is still a winner. All the people that sent in their answer sent in 1802( even the best of the best sent in this answer and I spoke with some people and suggested I make a winner from the 10th incorrect answers cause it was so close). Good guess, I would have to say that was the year that was the first publication that first talked about spherical granulated substances found in aerolites(meteorites), but was not when they were first observed. In Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756–1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research by Ursula B. MARVIN Marvin points out the first incident a scientist first observed these chondrules

Re: In what year were chondrules first discovered in aerolites aka meteorites? Hi Shawn, Shyawn, you clearly didn't understand what I was sayingt, so I'll be a bit clearer: - Firstly, you left out the most important sentence in Williams' description, because you are quoting third or fourth hand and Marvin wasn't commenting on the first use of chondrules n or trying to list every personal communication of the period. So I'll take the liberty of helping you despite your stupid comment telling me to read more. The description continues: The spherical bodies were much harder than the rest of the stone. That said: - You did not provide any first hand referencfe that chondrules were *first* discovered in 1799. - You did not provide a quote that Ursula Marvin supported that the Benares description was the first incidence of a description of chondrules. - You got the year wrong (1869) that the term chondrule was coined (1863). - You zero in on the word spherical. Well, chondrules in meteorites are more frequently not spherical. What remnants you find in meteorites like Siena...are just granular, or remnants. Discovery has nothing to do with obnserving a spherical one vs. a squashed, crushed typical one. Most have been altered. That is my opinion, but strongly so, Hence, describing granules without calling them spherical only means that Benares had less deformed chondrules (and it was a great description in general). Sorry, but the assumptions were just way out. The first place it is in print (1802) will be a reasonable occurence for the concept of spherical granules, as opposed to regular granules. Since the 1799 date is not a publication date, and it is clear that plenty of correspondence was being exchanged, credit for publication goes to Howard so far, who though enough of this to publish. Back in the 1700's no one had a clue that chondrules were condensates or any other context to ascribe importance to them. When people looked at spherical, granular, or any other rounded form, that was clearly observed earlier, definitely in 1766 by Troili. The fact that the word spherical vs. granule was used in your reference means absolutely nothing except that more spherical chondrules occur in Benares than do in, eg. Albareto, Wold Cottage, etc. Chondrules were first understood in 1864. In that year it was first theorized that this peculiar structure, was a condensation product - specifically droplets of fiery rain from the Sun by Sorby, who showed they were melt products and presented that theory. That is when chondrules as a feature were discovered and lead to meteorites being a key to unlocking the solar system's formation. - As an aside: The independent account you mention from Williams has no mention of any kind of granule or chondrule. You indicate Williams discovered chondrules. A critical read of the information you provided suggest to me that in what you posted, that it was Sir Joseph who had already observed this in the older falls. And it was Sir Joseph who likely noted that this was a common feature of meteorites, based on his prior observations, not Williams who provided him with additional data, which was the basis of comparson.

Re: [meteorite-list] POP QUIZ ANSWER
Thanks John for the kind comment to us both, it did the trick. Sir Joseph is really the key here, being the president of the Society it is he that received stones from several sources and first recognized the common characteristics thet had ... and one may conjecture he was the first to understand that some meteorites were chondritic, which is the real leap, finding the common charistics to typify meteorites. Also, I'd just like to point out that the detailed description from Williams was actually published stand alone in August 1802, six months after Howard read his joint results (with Count de Bournon) the London Philosophical Society and also covered his results along with Williams comments in that talk. Thus - many roads lead to 1802 and to Howard (who did the analysis prior to 1802) ... and other unnamed mineralogists/chemists doing this which Williams, a lawyer is simply providing a narrative and is very capable at that. The important unnamed minerologist was Count de Bournon who already had some familiarity with meteorites. He was the first to describe chondrules and if one is looking for a discoverer in the sense of a description vs. an faces have noses sort of obvious fact, the Count first described them correctly as globular, either perfectly, or elliptical, etc.,in his work through Howard, in February 1802, and if we are giving credit for characterization of a chondrule, he is the winner; if not it is Sorby who in 1864 determined they were condensed products. Count de Bournon (via Howard: Feb 1802) One of these substances which is in great abundance appears in the form of small bodies, some of which are perfectly globular, others are elongated or elliptical. They are of various sizes, from that of a small pin's head to that of a pea, or nearly so: some of them, however, but very few, are of a larger size. The colour of these small globules is gray, sometimes inclining very much to brown: and they are completely opaque. They may, with great ease, be broken in all directions: their fracture is conchoid, and shews a fine, smooth, compact grain, having a small degree of lustre, resembling in some measure that of enamel. Their hardness is such, that, being rubbed upon glass, they act upon it in a slight degree; this action is sufficient to take off its polish, but not to cut it: they give faint sparks, when struck with steel.results (including his claim on chondrule 'discovery') to a scientific audience as customary which was summarized for recording, and after Williams has the benefit to get feedback from Howard which influenced what he wrote. Thus - many roads lead to 1802 and to Howard (who did the analysis prior to 1802) ... and other unnamed mineralogists/chemists doing this which Williams, a lawyer is simply providing a narrative of what he has learned and does not try to be a scientist. It is of course interesting to note that Williams sent a preliminary account priorly, 1799, ... however we do not have a place to read the exact contents of that but if the additional narratives sent by Shawn is anything like it, it is possible no mention of the spheirical bodies was made in that initial writing... this still needs to be properly referenced with a primary source. BTW, You can read William's reprinted complete post-Howard version here also, I found it much an easier read: The New annual register, or General repository of history, politics, and literature: to which is prefixed, a short review of the principal transactions of the present reign, Volume 23 (1803) p. 158 Page 158 Anyone interested in the complete (after Howard's work) blurb from Williams can see it all there ... however keep in mind he is summarizing what many people have told him so in that sense it is an unfootnoted work of many contributors and it is not always clear what others discovered and told him vs. his original observations if any at all.

I did find it odd that with the 34 HED meteorite used in the experiment that 017 was the same but there was some variations in 016 018 isotopes.

Hello Listers, I am hoping everyone is enjoying the afternoon and would like to post the answer from the POP QUIZ. Quetion Please tell me the name of the first meteorite that was etched? Answer KRASNOJARSK (1804 by William Thomson) I would like to congradulate James B being the 10th Lister to send me the correct answer. He will be getting a 120mg Saratov meteorite fragment that fell in 1918 in Russia. And for those of you that would like to read up on the Krasnojarsk meteorite, here is an excerpt from Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756–1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research By Ursula B. MARVIN For the next 130 years, from 1808 to 1939, von Widmanstätten was credited as the earliest discoverer of the metallurgical patterns that are named for him in iron meteorites. The first intimation of a possible rival arose indirectly in 1939 when Robert T. Gunther (1869–1940), the Oxford historian and antiquary with a special interest in the Naples area, examined a mineral collection that contained numerous fine specimens marked “Dr. T.” Gunther (1939) had no clue to the identity of Dr. T. until he came upon a sample of Vesuvian lava that had been worked into a commemorative medal honoring the French geologist, Diodato Dolomieu (1750–1801). The back of the medal was impressed with the name and date: “G. Thomson Anglus 1805.” Seeking further information, Gunther contacted Professor Alfred Lacroix (1863–1948), at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, who found a letter in the archives that had been sent in 1801 from Naples in to the paleontologist, Georges Cuvier (1769–1832), by “G. Thomson, già Professore di Anatomia à Oxford.” *** Gunther’s offhand statement of Thomson’s anticipation of the Widmanstätten figures elicited a letter to Nature from Max Hey (1905–1984) of the Department of Mineralogy of the British Museum (Natural History). Hey looked up the 1808 issue of the Atti dell’Accademia delle Scienze di Siena that contained Thomson’s article on the Krasnojarsk meteorite, which, he noted, was dated “February 6, 1804.” Hey remarked that the article is of particular interest to us because it shows that Thomson studied the action of dilute nitric acid on the nickel-iron and fully described and pictured the etch figures, thus anticipating the work of von Widmanstätten which, was carried out in 1808 and published first in 1812 (by K. A. Neumann). Although he documented Thomson’s priority of publication, Hey made no suggestion that the etch figures should be renamed for him. Here the matter rested for two more decades. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1996MPS...31..545M Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 eBaystore http://shop.ebay.com/photophlow/m.html [meteorite-list] POP QUIZ FRIDAYS Shawn Alan photophlow at yahoo.com Fri Jun 10 18:11:40 EDT 2011 Previous message: [meteorite-list] Willimette?

[meteorite-list] POP QUIZ answer
Hello Listers I would like to say thank you for all of you that sent me in your answers this week for the POP QUIZ. I would like to annouce the 10th Lister that sent in the correct answer and that person is Matthew S, he won a free 65mg Pena Blanca Spring meteorite from Michael I. Casper collection Way to go Matthew :) Question: The Meson de Fierro is associated with what meteorite. Answer: Campo del Cielo History Chladni reasoned that the huge mass of iron that lay in the flat, powdery soils of the northern Argentine Chaco also must have fallen from the sky. Well known to the nomadic peoples of the region, the mass was first seen by Europeans in 1576 when Capitán Hernán Mexía de Miraval led a small contingent of Spanish soldiers out of the fortified settlement of Santiago del Estero on a long, dangerous march to the site where their guides said they obtained the metal in their weapons. He reported finding a large mass of iron rising out of the ground like a great monument, with smaller pieces lying around it. The Indians said the iron had fallen from the sky amid raging fires, but de Miraval assumed he had found the surface exposure of an iron mine. He carried samples back to Santiago where a blacksmith found it to be iron of exceptionally high purity. Despite the fact that he had found native metal instead of iron ore, the Spanish authorities had no interest in developing an iron mine at that time and place. So de Miraval’s official records of his discovery were deposited in the Archivo General de lndias in Seville, where they would lie unread until the early 1920s (Alvarez 1926). Today, they rank as the earliest documentation of the finding and sampling of a meteorite by Europeans in the Americas. Two-hundred years passed before don Bartolomé Francisco de Maguna, entered the Chaco in 1774 and came upon what he described as a large, nearly smooth bar or plate of metal, sloping upward out of the ground. This one soon became known as “el Mesón de Fierro” (the table of iron). Great excitement ensued when news came from Madrid that the metal assayed 80% iron and 20% silver! It seemed that the Argentine Chacos might be richer than the Andes of Peru! However, analyses made in Buenos Aires and at the historic mining locality of Uspallata in the Andes, yielded no silver at all. One more expedition led by don Francisco de Ibarra in 1779 returned with samples lacking silver. Nevertheless, in 1783 the Viceroy at Buenos Aires sent Lieutenant don Miguel Rubín de Celis, of the Royal Spanish Navy, to measure the extent of the ore body and, if it proved promising, to found a colony at the site. De Celis led 200 been created by natural modes of combustion. Forest fires or bolts of lightning would be entirely inadequate to melt and reduce bedrock to metallic iron under any circumstances. And the Pallas iron was by far too heavy and in too remote a location to have been created by ancient smelting operations, which, in any case, should have separated out the yellow mineral and robbed the metal of its malleability. Chladni (1794:40) called the yellow component “olivine” before he ever saw a sample of the Pallas iron. The fusion of the metal, Chladni said, must have taken place in a fire more intense than any known on Earth—a fire that, somehow, left it malleable. Chladni concluded that this “native iron” was cosmic matter that had heated to incandescence and melted while plunging through the atmosphere in a fireball.

[meteorite-list] POP QUIZ answer
Hello Listers, Thank you everyone that sent in your answers for the POP QUIZ FRIDAYS posting. Question Please tell me which meteorite fall was one of the first falls to be recognized by scientists as a rock from space. Answer Chassigny is a fall from 1815 in France and as such was one of the first meteorite falls to be recognized by scientists as a rock from space. It is curated by the Paris Museum. Chassigny is the only martian meteorite which is a dunite, or olivine cumulate. It consists mostly of Fe-rich olivine with minor clinopyroxene, feldspar, oxides, sulfides, and phosphates. It contains oxidized iron in its chromite and rare amphiboles in melt inclusions. It contains trace amounts of carbonate and sulfate salts in cracks inside the sample. http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/antmet/marsmets/chassigny/sample.cfm I can say this the LAigle meteorite helped the notion of the idea that meteorites fall from the sky but LAigle from a scientific value and history value wasn't stated to be from space. I have done some looking around and from what I can find Chassigny meteorite is one of the first meteorite falls to be recognized by scientists to be from outer space and it comes from NASA's website. I will looking into this further and see if they can direct me into the right direction where I can find the direct source/sources that state this.

[meteorite-list] POP QUIZ ANSWER
Hello Listers I hop :) hope everyone had a great Easter.. I had peeps and pop corn and gummy worms, great combo. I would like to announce the win and answer for the POP QUIZ today. Question True or False The current classification scheme for meteorites had its beginnings in the 1900s with G. Rose’s classification of the meteorite collection at the University Museum of Berlin. False Correct answer is 1860's I would like to congratulate Carl Meteoritemax. You will be receiving a Saratov fragment that fell in 1918 in Russia. And while we are on the topic of classifications I found this early form of classification please take a look down below. De Drée, 1803: The First Meteorite Classification De Drée took a great interest in meteorites and immediately began to work out a classification of them based chiefly on their materials, as reported by Howard and Vauquelin, and the circumstances of their falls. He distinguished the following four classes (de Drée 1803b:410): Class I: Stones consisting of similar materials that fell in serene weather without thunderstorms: Salles, Ensisheim, Barbotan, Benares, Wold Cottage. Class II: Stones of the same materials as class I but which fell from enflamed clouds with lightning flashes with or without detonations: Siena, Tabor. Class III: Masses mainly of malleable iron, of which the only observed fall occurred at Agram in Croatia after a fireball and an explosion followed by rumbling sounds. Class IV: All masses for which the circumstances of fall are not verified and their compositions fall outside those of the first three classes or are uncertain: his list of about 20 included the irons found in Siberia, Argentina, and Senegal; stones from observed falls including Lucé, Eichstädt, and Portugal, and about a dozen historical accounts taken mainly from Chladni.

Re: [meteorite-list] POP QUIZ ANSWER
Hello Shawn, All, I think I can shed some light on the confusion regarding this topic - centered on the question of what exactly constitutes a Nothwest Africa[n] meteorite. The earliest recovered meteorite from Morocco is Mrirt, a 79.9 kilogram iron found in 1937. It has apparently never been formally classified or submitted, making it something of an anomaly in the Meteoritical Bulletin. But there was a slightly earlier fall in Morocco - an LL6 named Douar Mghila, in 1932. Were it to fall today, while it might get its own name such as Zagora, Ouzina, or Toufassour, it would still be a Northwest African meteorite. The region is, after all, Northwest Africa, and most NWA meteorites are found there. The earliest find from Algeria was the 510 kilogram IIIAB named Tamentit, found in 1864. To my knowledge, that is the earliest known Northwest African meteorite. Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. The meteorite Silet (see below) was named Silet (as opposed to NWA ) because someone with a GPS recorded the place where it was found. Other meteorites have probably been found in the same location (give or take), but because the finders likely didn't record such information, they're simply named NWA . http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?sea=%2Asfor=namesants=falls=valids=stype=containslrec=50map=gebrowse=country=Algeriasrt=yearcateg=Allmblist=Allrect=phot=snew=0pnt=Normal%20tablecode=45009 As you can see, Silet is an ordinary chondrite found in Algeria in 2005. So it should be an NWA , right? Well...it's a Northwest African meteorite... So the question Whats the name of the first Northwest Africa meteorite and what year was it found. [sic.] If you're asking for the name of the first NWA stone, then the answer is painfully obvious... In my mind, specifying that you wanted the name of the meteorite insinuated that you were looking for a more comprehensive answer than NWA 001. If you were instead asking for the name of the first meteorite recovered in the region of Northwest Africa -- aka the first Northwest African meteorite, the question makes considerably more sense - and it takes at least a minute to draw up the relevant information from the Meteoritical Bulletin page using the correct country/date filters. And it would raise awareness of the fact that meteorites were being found in Morocco and Algeria prior to the 'rush' of the late 1990's - and that hunters were going there and finding stones, recording find locations, etc, decades before said 'rush.' I don't mean to rag on your quiz - I'm sure plenty of list-members appreciate them and participate, but I'd feel pretty poorly had I tried to win this past one (I didn't participate, as Shawn can verify), because I would have said that the first meteorite found in Northwest Africa was Tamentit, the first Northwest African meteorite. -Unless there was an earlier find that didn't show up as obviously in the bulletin (I suppose I could be wrong) but either way, 1864 precedes 1999. And we'd have to better define the region...I have the feeling that Northwest Africa consists of more than just Algeria and Morocco...

Re: [meteorite-list] POP QUIZ ANSWER
Actually, since the N in Northwest Africa was capitalized, this means the question was indeed about the NWA series. If it was about the general region, it would be northwest Africa. But the answer is not NWA 001, which was recovered in 1999. It is NWA 1242, which was found in 1985. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/index.php?code=17194 Jeff On 11/14/2010 6:51 PM, Jason Utas wrote: Hello Shawn, All, I think I can shed some light on the confusion regarding this topic - centered on the question of what exactly constitutes a Nothwest Africa[n] meteorite.

Hello Jason and Lister, If you may, go to Meteoritical Bulletin Database and under countries go to the second Northwest Africa tab and click on it and the first Northwest Africa meteorite name is Northwest Africa aka NWA 001. You see I asked for the name of the FIRST Northwest Africa meteorite, I didnt ask for the first found Northwest African meteorite in my POP QUIZ. Here is my POP QUIZ question. Whats the name of the first Northwest Africa meteorite and what year was it found. If you read that statement, I dont see a part where it says please tell me the name of the first found Northwest Africa meteorite. I asked please tell me the first Northwest Africa meteorite name aka NWA and what year was it found. But thank you for your write up Jason, because we get to learn more about meteorites, and thats why I like to do these POP QUIZZES.
