Re: [meteorite-list] Velocity vs. mass vs. drag?

Hello Tom, This is because of the high velocity that the biggest fragments will travel further than the smallest ones, which will be more sensitive to friction with the atmosphere and therfore slow down and reach the ground before. Kind regards, Frederic Beroud - Original Message - From:

Hi Jeff, of course schreibersite can form larger inclusions, irregular shaped - then it's not looking like the big troilite drops you mentioned, but exactely like the many cohenite inclusions in the IAB and IIICD irons, which appear often as little wormlets, irregular blobs with short, rounded

Hi List, back in the 1980s, I got a large, beautiful Admire slice. I kept it at low humidity and also added corrosion inhibitor to the bag in which the slice was wrapped in. During the first 10 years I checked for signs of rust from time to time. It was okay, no rust, very stable. So, I kept

For me the unique method for save the pallasites from rusty is put this into a acrilic resin without air. Matteo --- Jörn Koblitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: Hi List, back in the 1980s, I got a large, beautiful Admire slice. I kept it at low humidity and also added corrosion inhibitor

Re: [meteorite-list] Is Brahin a ruster ?

Yes indeed one never can be sure. First one can't make any individually forecast for a single piece, the tendency to rust is different from specimen to specimen from one and the same find, obviously it depends how much chlorine it absorbed. Only the general tendency may predicted. A friend of mine
