Dear List,
For the chondrule lovers:
I have a few Ebay auctions of the fresh NWA 5730 (L3.2 S2 W1) ending
tomorrow.
Two of them are still at $0.01.
I bought myself a real camera, so better photographs this time :-)

Good article and a great photo. What a handsome chap he is! : )
Matt, what is the story about the frightened, but unharmed cat
Whoa. Cool. Didn't know they did a piece.
The scared putty tat was left in the garage before the Canon City meteorite
crashed through the garage roof.
Thanks for sending,

Hi Doug, all -
Thanks for the great information, Doug.

Given Raup and Sepowski's map of chaotically periodic extinctions at roughly 26
million year periods, and Morrison and Weiler's fierce opposition to Clube and
Napier's coherent catastrophism, and the resulting lack of research
Nice old-school refractor with solar projection screen in the
background behind Matt. :)
Looks like a vintage Tasco. :)
Those are great little small scopes, they don't build them like that any more.
Nice article too. :)

Hi Dave -
I congratulate you on your desire to undertake educational efforts.
That said, I wonder what the circumstances of the recovery of the Bonita
Springs meteorite were. This might have important consequences.
I find it unfortunate that you are not able to hold onto it for your
Does anyone know if any meteorites on Earth are linked
to the Kuiper Belt Objects?
or is that too far away for a material to travel all the way to
Earth? or would Jupiter trap any parent bodies traveling past it?

Hello MikeG and List,

Yeah, TASCO ... brings back memories of my Tasco Newtonian. It was a nice
Hi Bernd and List!
Please forgive the off-topic nature of this post - this will be brief.
Some people don't know that the older Tasco refractors from the 1950's
were made by Royal Optical of Japan - a highly respected maker of fine
glass back during that period. The optical quality of those
Hi Eric, all -
We have bollides, and then we have meteorite searches. In the case of
carbonaceous chondrites, recoveries after bollides are pretty small, from what
I've seen here.
We also have about 13 multi-kiloton upper atmosphere airbursts per year
observed by early warning sats. Regular
Hi Listees!
I have a Lortone Rock Tumbler (QT66 with two 6-lb barrels) and I
decided to put some very ugly and extremely-weathered up UNWA stones
into it - just to see what the result is. They have been tumbling in
coarse grit for 6 days now - tomorrow night I will open the barrel,
check them,
Greetings, List,
I see a recent update as of May 20, 2009 at the Meteoritical Society's bulletin
for NWA 1685, but I don't see any new information included.

Hello Pete and List,
If Dean's BL and NWA 1685 are one and the same, then Houston, we have
a problem! The Met.Bull. says about NWA 1685: 1302 grams / one piece
but there are about 11.6 kg of Dean's BL in collectors' hands. I know because

Hi Eric -
In most hypervelocity impacts the binding forces between atoms are broken,
energy freed, and the resulting plasma recondenses into spherules.
In some of the largest hyper-velocity impacts nuclear biding forces appear to
be broken, freeing neutrons and protons to formm 14C and
Dear Doug, EP, List,
Keller, who as a matter of fact does believe a shower

cometary and happened over a longer span of time...

K-T extinction for a few years, Keller now rejects
Hi Erik:
If memory serves, the original reason that G. P. Kuiper proposed the
existance of the [Edgeworth] Kuiper Belt was as a source of comets with
relatively short period (under a hundred years or so?) comets.
So, if you believe that some meteorites ocme from comets, then these

Hi Mike, I bought a few Kg. of small Ghubara fragments that were tumbled.
The before and after results were cool! They looked awful before tumbling.
I have never tried it myself but I have put dirty samples in walnut shells
in a brass tumbler dry for cleaning.
My call on the water would be
Pete,
Just a few weeks ago I was speaking with people from the Royal Ontario
Museum and they have material and are hopefully able to do some research
on it soon. There is still high interest in this stuff and I too want
to see some more testing and classification done on it. It would be

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the link. Are the clasts in question the light gray ones or
the black one as seen in John Kashuba's example on Jeff's web site? I am
guessing the light gray one's but want to confirm.

Greg,
I was going to send some pics but the posting from Gary Fujihara
directing us to Jeff Kuyken's website does a better job.
What is really interesting is that there are very thin black shock veins
around these clasts indicating that these were introduced into the
matrix after the stones

I currently have a nice sized .75 pound Odessa meteorite.
It is covered in rust.
Doed anyone want to try cleaning it up?
What would be the charge to clean it up so it would be
usefull as a teaching meteorite?
It is the largest iron that I have.
