Okay...this is what I get out of this event. First of all, it occurred
while the Lyrid meteor shower is active and the radiant was still up. So it
could be a Lyrid, although this Major shower isn't all that major every
year, but still active. The Lyrids peak around April 21/22. Lyrid or
hi all,
too much controversy about this tamedaght phenomena,
most of the collector think that what is melted with the meteorite in photo are
small tiny meteorite like pearls,
and its made from biggest meteorite orientation and fusion,
well under my microscope it's a meteorite melted with earth
I'm teaching 6 periods of astronomy on the basics of meteorites
next week and I need a slice or two of an ordinary chondrite.
Does anyone have slices for sale or a saw I can use and lives
in the phoenix area?

Hi Listees!
I have a quick question for the saw owners who cut their own stones -
What is a good 6 trimsaw for cutting stony meteorites?
Can someone recommend a brand/model or give a link to good reliable supplier?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, Pierre, there will be a dam near Villalbeto.
I was there last september hunting for meteorites (without any success) and
saw a lot of trucks moving rocks.
But as fas as I know it misses by only some hundred meters the southwestern
part of the official strewn field, where the small pieces
I cannot see how this could happensurely for it to happen the meteorite
would have to still be in incandescent flight on impact which would be too fast
for a stoney meteorite to survive like this...what does anyone else think?

Is heat from impact possible?

Not only that, but the bulk of the impacting meteorite would still be cold.
A few millimeters of incandescent surface wouldn't do this. The only way to
get significant heat at the point of impact is from the kinetic energy of
the collision itself. And that much energy shouldn't leave much of

Hi Pete and List,
In other words, the impacting meteoroid would have had to have a mass
big enough to reach the ground at cosmic velocity - impossible for small
pieces like the Tamedaght stones!
i agree with bernd and chris ,
the mass must be big to keep the velocity speed enough to make resistance of
air burn the meteorite in impact, THE SMALL METEORITE BECOME COLD FASTER?
than what is this thing glued to the meteorite , is it small tiny meteorite
transformed,BY THE IMPACT???

Hello All,
I think Nels' post was meant to be sent to the List, but, obviously, he only
sent it to me. So, let me forward it to the List. I am sure Nels doesn't mind!
Best wishes,

All, It is pretty obvious that the phenomena viewed is ablated material that

For those who don't like fixed prices I do have some auctions ending on eBay

Hello,
One more batch done!
Yes, I am still working on that huge pile of new specimens I have. And this
time I posted a new bunch of thin-sections, with great pictures of course.
Please have a look: http://www.impactika.com/TSlist.htm
Now, what will I do next?
If you have any request, please
Hello everyone,
I was wondering where some of the better tektite collections are
located and how much is on display. I'm mostly interested in the US
but feel free to include others. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi List
I started some museum pages on my website a while back, it would be
great to add to these museums if anyone has photos of tektite
collections. www.tektites.co.uk/museums
The British Museum of Natural History currently has a very poor
display, bar a few nice Ivory Coast tektites. I
Greetings to all,
As we speak, a final inspection is underway leading to the sale of the Futrell
tektite collection to a new impact museum in Canada. As soon as the deal is
final, I'll circulate details. This will surely be one of the top exhibits
ever. While probably not exceptional in
Hi folks! By any chance does anyone know what percentage of Nickel is in
the Dronino Meteorite? I've been trying to satisfy this curiosity, but I
think I'm confusing myself. It seems to be somewhere between 8% to 18%. But I
think it's close to 8.9%. Am I in the ball park?
