Hi All,
Actually Nick, ebay is totally different world than decade-old dealer listings.
First of all, the posted prices are fixed whereas ebay is at the whims of the
bidders who all have their own reasons for their bid amount.
Second, most (but of course not all as some of you know about) of
Ebay prices would not be trustworthy either. I have seen SA's sell for 10
cents a gram and $10 a gram, of course it depends on how nice it is. I have
seen rusty Nantans sell for $5 a gram. I have seen Allende sell for $8 per
gram and Allende that did not sell at even priced at $4 a gram. You have
You would get a good average, though.
Although - from time to time, there are people like 23dragons23, buying
20g of NWA 1827 for more than $400 :-). This person isn't uneducated, I
guess, but they have more money than we all can shake our stick at *g*.
Whatever: if you follow ebay auctions
Hello List, It seems that every meteorite made crater was first thought to
be volcanic, including the craters on the moon. We all know what Barringer
had to go through to prove meteor crater was in fact a meteor made crater.
If you compare the crater pictured in this link with the craters on page
opps, link did not work, try this.

OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Journey toward 'Burns Cliff' Continues -
sol 265-271, November 08, 2004
Opportunity's trek towards Burns Cliff continues. The journey has been
much more difficult than anticipated. The rover has experienced drive
slippage
The tectonic structures in the Great Rift Valley are amongst the most
studied on the planet. We are better equipped today to distinguish volcanic
craters from meteoritic ones- I expect that the geology of this caldera is
fairly well understood. It certainly couldn't be older than a few million
Hi all,
sunday I and my friend Mauro went to a near town (Verona about 100Km) for
a conference in the morning about meteorite, the relator is a great
professor, meteorite hunter and a great collector.
After we went at home of the bigger Italian Meteorite Hunter, Giorgio
Tomelleri, you saw he and
Dear List Members,
Auctions representing over 100 great specimens are ending tonight. Many are
still just 99 cents representing some true bargains.
This week's rare material special is NWA2118, a very rare L3.1 chondrite.
You will find the price very reasonable considering availability of this
Hi,
I have several of these. The ablation and flow lines are interesting,
especially in the plugs, and well worth having for comparative
purposes. However, the flow lines are in a resin coating of the plug
(which is very light weight), not in metal. Re-entry speeds of artificial
satellites
Hi Bernhard and List
Having been on ebay since 96, I can say that few rock buyers in general do
the xmas frenzy stint. most hobbiests in the lapiday/collector world,
usually know what they'd like and season rarely factors in except for
summers when children aren't in school and day
Yes Sterling,
I agree with you. Sonic booms are more often than
not produced by man-made causes, no matter how much
the aviation authorities deny that there were no
aircraft in the area.
And thanks for pointing out all the misconceptions in
this article. But I think the most glaring omission
Dear List,
Just a quick reminder that raremeteorites has several nice auction items
ending tonight. Here are a few examples:
Very rare Qidong transitional specimen from a fall:

Frankly, I think an ebay archive would be easy. Just build a progam
to crawl the meteorite auctions after their completion and store the

high, but after that it would run forever with
Hello List especially Denver members. They say there is a building in Denver
that has a step that is exactly one mile high. I heard on the news that the

Hi,
Since the continents do not float on the oceans, the mark will not have
moved. If the mark was one mile above sea level before the three inch rise, it
would now be 5279 feet 9 inches above sea level, not 5280 feet 3 inches above
sea level.
The statistic that sea level has raised three
