Re: [meteorite-list] Neutron and proton release in large hyper-velocity impacts
Hello All, I believe Occum's Razor would suggest that any C14 spikes associated with impacts are more likely from enrichment while the asteroid is in orbit. As was mentioned previously, the C14 enriched region is concentrated at the asteroid's exterior which in turn is the material shed into the atmosphere via ablation. This approach does not require exotic quantum physics-- induced by extreme mechanical physics of cosmic speed impacts, to account for any spike in atmospheric C14 ratios. By virtue of a meteoriod/asteroid's history it is going to arrive bearing high C14 ratios as the decayed carbon ratio is being topped off right up to deep atmosphere penetration--theoretically anyway.

Re: [meteorite-list] Neutron and proton release in large hyper-velocity impacts
Hi Elton, all - Another contender to explain the C14 spikes. That can be added to the existing four: 1)hole in upper atmosphere, 2)interuption of ocean currents, 3)coincident incresase in extra-solar neutrons, and 4)neutron release in impact process. For the comets, I could see how there might be C14. But does the solar wind or interspace contain C14? Two questions on my mind. First do irons contain C14? Second, does anyone have a fine scale chart of real C14 production from about 3,114 BCE on? good hunting all, E.P.

[meteorite-list] 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own A Meteorite!
Hi all, Figured I'd share a little something with the list... I was writing some promotional material for my meteorite site and it turned into something else I think most of you guys might appreciate and think is a little entertaining. I love meteorites and have a serious addiction just like I think most of you do, and as I was writing this short article it turned into something more than I planned... It's lighthearted, but it's also a little profound... I'll let you decide. I'm even open to suggestions to add or edit the list too. Take a look and let me know what you think. 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own A Meteorite! http://www.meteoritesusa.com/10-reasons-everyone-should-own-a-meteorite.htm Happy Hunting Eric Wichman www.meteoritesusa.com www.meteoritewatch.com __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

My girlfriend loves them. She found her first on Ivanpah a few years ago and it was a fresh oriented beauty. This forever hooked her on these strange objects from space. It is sometimes difficult to talk about meteorites in public or around women as some may think you are crazy. We were once cut-off after just one beer for talking about crazy things like owning moon rooks. We were told to leave a bar in a small town in Eastern Washington for using terms like kilograms, cutting lose and space in general. It is interesting to note that two drunk patrons were allowed to stay even though they were in a vehement argument about Steve Austin's bionics and how much they really cost. One of them thought that the six million dollar figure was too much while the other thought the Bionic parts were really grown on a farm.

Re: [meteorite-list] 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own A Meteorite!
Mike, Eric and all, What I is mean is this.. I played guitar in many bands for years. Women loved that, I know because they always approached me afterward and asked questions such as: Do you have a CD? Where are you playing next? Etc.. That doesn't happen much with meteorites. In fact, if even 25 % of women liked meteorites where are they on the list? Sure our wives like them as do our sisters and mothers,but mainly because we do.. Where are all the other women? Just now as I'm emailing this, a female friend called and rebuked me. However, if she really liked them she would have even one in her rock collection. She only likes them because I do.and it is something we can talk about. Where are all the women that like meteorites just because they are meteorites? Lets see, Anne, Maria, and 3 or 4 more!

This causes a bit of a headache because, if this is or was a large BO chondrule, I wouldn't rule out an L chondrite as H chondrites *tend* to have smaller chondrules! But I was careful and wrote H chondrites *tend* to have smaller chondrules. One of my Carancas specimens has a beautiful 0.7 mm chondrule protruding completely from the surrounding matrix - large enough to consider it an L chondrite. But: Chondrule size is not the only criterion! These Fa and Fs values below definitely place Carancas in the realm of the H chondrites: Olivine (Fa18.4±0.5) and pyroxene (Fs16.1±0.2) Some examples with (almost) identical Fa and Fs values: DaG 016 (H5) - DaG 299 (H4) - Dhofar 834 (H4) - Round Top (b) (H4) Carancasically, Bernd __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi All, I really didn't want to add my input to this, but I wasn't thinking that Ruben was putting us women down. I think he just meant that compared to the men there are a lot of women that really don't have an interest in meteorites. I have several girlfriends, one went with me to the desert, because she likes to walk. Another asked me to not forward any more meteorite related things to her, so her husband liked it. Others look at them and remark a quick answer and then don't ever ask about me finding more of them. Only my German friend loves to look at them with a magnifying glass even! It is much better with my men friends. They seem to talk about the where they were found and what kind they are. With best regards, Moni PS.

Think of it this way: female interest in meteorites can be correlated to membership in MENSA - the 2% elite! Cheers, Pete Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 12:26:33 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own A Meteorite! Hi all, This is funny. Anne why are you mad? I admitted that there were 3 or 4 other women - you named 6 more - besides you and Maria. Besides, It wasn't meant as a dis, or slam to women. It wasn't meant to be derogatory in any way. I just made a statement. Women for the most part DO NOT TAKE PART in meteorites or meteorite hunting. So what is your point again? That there are 8 women on this list, or that there are 25, maybe 50 even? There are (I've been told) over 700 people on this list. If that's true and there are even 50 women that are really into meteorite hunting or collecting on here. Where are they? I'm not talking about our wife's, girlfriends, sisters or mothers. I'm taking about women that like meteorites just because they are meteorites. Like yourself, Maria, and a few others. Men are the majority and most women are not at all that interested in meteorites or meteorite hunting. Now, contrast that to my last hobby, Music. More than half of all people in attendance were women. Ruben Garcia Phoenix, Arizona http://www.mr-meteorite.com Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Hi Ruben and all, I'd say that Anne has hit it on the head pretty good, list arguments and some of the other negativity that sometimes rears it's ugly head here. It is also the reason we have lost a lot of good people who were once interested in meteorites. It is why we don't have school kids coming here to ask questions and so forth. Some of the the people creating this non-sense, dealers and so forth are their own worst enemies by chasing people away by their actions and from this wonderful hobby. There use to be less women interested in astronomy when I was first interested but it seem time are changing (for the better) and you see more and more women at astronomy club meetings and participating in observing these days.

Re: [meteorite-list] 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own A Meteorite!
It is an interesting discussion and fun too. I have never noticed any difference between males or females interest in meteorites when speaking in front of a general group (school class for example). What I have noticed is a more obsessive behaviour in males compared to females. That doesn't have anything to do with meteorites and can be seen in most hobbies. ... at least that is my experience. I bought my first meteorite ten years ago, an etched Gibeon cube, when I was on a mineral fair. A couple of days later I gave it to my girlfriend without telling her what it was. She would get it if she could tell me what it was. At first I got a disgusted A piece of rusty iron pipe! out of her, she expected a gemstone when I told her I bought something on that fair. Second guess came not long after, It's a meteorite! She still cherish that meteorite, she just got rid of me. :-) For me it took another seven years until I bought my first meteorite but now I'm just as obsessive as any male collector. Enough now, I think I will pour a glass of wine and look at my meteorite collection a while. Cheers!

Re: [meteorite-list] 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own A Meteorite!
Hey Ruben: I'm not sure you have to have a metorite in your posession to be in love with metorites. I've been on this list for I think about 1-1/2 years and just haven't taken the step to get the first one for 2 reasons. #1- once I get the first I'll be bit big time and I won't be able to stop myself. But mostly #2 - I want the first one to be special and I can't figure out what exactly it should be. I even thought about asking it as a post -i.e., if you could choose what your first metorite would be, what would you go for, but thought that was too pedestrian for you guys. I've learned from the meteor-wrong discussions, hunting expedition posts, cube info, comet and planet discussions, etc, etc, etc. I've enjoyed so much of the community activities from how you all responded to Walter's accident, the Greensburg Tornado, the Tuscon get-togethers, the Rocks from Space pictures are AWESOME I've read almost every single post from Ron Baalke since I joined the list, they are so imformative. So, I must love metorities to be reading all this considering some of the bickering is past obnoxious and the fact that the literal rock scientist level of knowledge of many people on this list is HIGHLY INTIMIDATING. Anyway, add one more female to the list of people who love meteorites - even though I don't think I have one in my possession.

Hi Rhonda, I was intrigued by your post and it got me thinking! #1- once I get the first I'll be bit big time and I won't be able to stop myself. Yep... I think we'll all agree with that one! ;-) #2 - I want the first one to be special and I can't figure out what exactly it should be. Now the whole first meteorite thread has been done numerous times and I'm sure it's in the archives but you made me stop to think about it a bit further. There are people on this list who have been collecting for many, many years and some for just a short time. But knowing what we do now, what would everyone's first meteorite be if they had the chance over again? Mine was a nice little 25.9g Sikhote-Alin individual. I suspect many others also had either SA's or Canyon Diablo's as their first meteorite. The funny thing is that even though my collecting habits have moved in a different direction, I still think a nice little Sikhote was the best option. Just because I guess it's what you might 'expect' a meteorite to look like. So I think your idea of asking the list is a great idea and I don't believe that it's too pedestrian. I'd actually be really interested to hear what others think and if they would choose differently now. And maybe there will be some advice there that works for you. There are some very knowledagble people on this list Rhonda and when I joined I was also a little intimidated. However I soon learned that this is a unique and very welcoming hobby with great, friendly people.

Hey Ruben: I'm not sure you have to have a metorite in your posession to be in love with metorites. I've been on this list for I think about 1-1/2 years and just haven't taken the step to get the first one for 2 reasons. #1- once I get the first I'll be bit big time and I won't be able to stop myself. But mostly #2 - I want the first one to be special and I can't figure out what exactly it should be. I even thought about asking it as a post -i.e., if you could choose what your first metorite would be, what would you go for, but thought that was too pedestrian for you guys. I've learned from the meteor-wrong discussions, hunting expedition posts, cube info, comet and planet discussions, etc, etc, etc. I've enjoyed so much of the community activities from how you all responded to Walter's accident, the Greensburg Tornado, the Tuscon get-togethers, the Rocks from Space pictures are AWESOME I've read almost every single post from Ron Baalke since I joined the list, they are so imformative. So, I must love metorities to be reading all this considering some of the bickering is past obnoxious and the fact that the literal rock scientist level of knowledge of many people on this list is HIGHLY INTIMIDATING. Anyway, add one more female to the list of people who love meteorites - even though I don't think I have one in my possession.

She only likes them because I do.and it is something we can talk about. Where are all the women that like meteorites just because they are meteorites? Lets see, Anne, Maria, and 3 or 4 more!
