RE: [meteorite-list] NASA Rover Finds Meteorite on Surface of Mars

There must be thousands, if not millions of them just sitting on the surface. Just imagine the odds. This rover, for all the distance it has traveled, barely measures a walk in the park, and it comes across a basketball size iron meteorite? WOWZER. CharlyV -Original Message- From:

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Rover Finds Meteorite on Surface of Mars

Charly, List, Mars has a surface area of around 50 million square kilometers. So, if the Red Rover has done a small fraction of a kilometer around the Valley and we scale it up, I'd say about a billion of the metal ones, and then another 12 billion stonies. (Sagan billions, not British

[meteorite-list] NASA Rover Finds Meteorite on Surface of Mars

Hi All, Regarding the probable (?) meteorite on Mars, I would think there would be some other test(s) that could be performed to confirm the object is a nickel/iron meteorite -- aside from depending on the IR spectrometer. Don't suppose they thought to bring a little hand magnet along. ;-)

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Rover Finds Meteorite on Surface of Mars

Oops, make that 150 million square km. So 3 billion iron and 60 billion DIFFERENT stone. There is hope after ANSMET and Morocco:) En un mensaje con fecha 01/18/2005 6:25:08 PM Mexico Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribe: Charly, List, Mars has a surface area of around 50 million

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Rover about to make a BIG mistake

Rob, list I think the mission manager still hasn't got it with all due respect. They say they didn't see this coming! Just think about what could be learned by using the RAT for a minute to work on the fusion crust area. Finally we have a material we understand somewhat under theRover's

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Rover about to make a BIG mistake

Hello Everyone, I am intrigued by the color of the martian meteorite. It looks like bright metal. I have wondered about the actual color of iron asteroids in space. Would they appear bright and shiny or would they would be discolored by cosmic ray and solar wind bombardment, as are stones.

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Rover Finds Meteorite on Surface of Mars

Hi Ron, When you consider infintesimal the odds of finding a meteorite here on Earth after traversing as short a distance as the rovers have, you have to ask whether there are local factors on Mars which dramatically increase the number of meteorites per square kilometer on the surface there. I

Re: [meteorite-list] I have a meteorite

Dear Kris; We are not allowed to post pictures directly to the list I would ask you how you know it is an iron meteorite, obviously you have had it authenticated by a meteorite person and not a well meaning geologist, a wanta-be science teacher, or a well meaning grandma that actually saw

Re: [meteorite-list] I have a meteorite

Hi Kris and list; I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but your iron meteorite sure looks like a mill ball to me. I have a coffee can full of them that look just like your picture. I got so excited finding those little iron meteorites until I sent a couple of them off to the university .

Re: [meteorite-list] I have a meteorite

Kris, Art, List; The mountains south of Toole will be loaded with mill balls. With the size of the mining that went on in a hundred mile area of the Great Salt Lake, and of the mountainous areas near there, the probability of more mill balls is really high. From the third quarter of the 1800's,

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Rover Finds Meteorite on Surface of Mars

Back to the ventifact markings on the Martian rock... There is no a priori reason why an iron meteorite can't be ventifacted. I have never seen one though... I have seen ventifacted chondrites - no sharp delineations... But has anyone ever seen a ventifacted iron here on Earth? If so, can you link

Re: [meteorite-list] Odds of finding a meteorite on Mars

Hi, Everybody, To determine the odds, first you have to calculate the surface area that has been sampled by both rovers. The rovers were meant to only move a few hundred meters, but Spirit had racked up 4030 meters of odometry in 366 sols and Opportunity has covered 2000 meters or so.
