Hi all,
I recently decided to try something a little different and had some scale
cubes made up. Not your usual cubes either as these are made from Tungsten
Carbide with a tolerance of around just 0.05mm or less making them about the
most precise cubes I know of. Anyhow, you can read all about
Last night Walter Zeitschel has left us.

Walter was one of the most outstanding meteorite personalities of our times
and one of, if not the greatest collector of the 20th century.
Walter's meteorite specimens were for so many for us the doorstep to our

Sad news, Martin.
Unfortunately I'm not long enough a meteorite-aficionado, so my chance to
know Walter Zeitschel personally wasn't really good. In any case, once I've
been in contact with him via email and felt his intense engagement for the
matter of the heavenly bodies immediately.

Hi Martin and all,
In the early days, when there were very few dealers selling items, I
contacted Walter and asked to be put on his mailing list. Even though I
never bought very much from him, he was always kind to send a catalog to me
so I could enjoy all of his offerings. I always got a
Good morning list.It is always hard to accept the passing of an icon in the met
world.I never met or knew walter,but I had heard he was one of the greats in
this field.I know he shall be missed.My regrets go out to his family and
friends.

mass converted to light would require fusion. all of the mass of a meteorite is
retained by the earth. most is dust from ablation. how much reaches the ground
depends on a lot of variables like velocity of impact angle of impact, specific
gravity of meteorite, water content or volatile gas
Martin,
Thanks you for this postingand if you could please be so kind to
forward messages of condolence---including this heartfelt note---to
his family.
For those who are not aware
In the late 80s, two major figures had an unparalleled impact on
meteorite collecting (and on
It's certainly true in the strictest sense that virtually 100% of the mass
survives entry. However, I think most people here quite correctly
interpreted the original question in terms of how much mass ends up as
something you can hold in your hand at the end of the day- not dust and gas!
I have personally met Walter on several occasions, and my
very first meteorite, a 16.3 g Allende, was bought from him
as early as almost forty years ago (PS: this specimen is,
of course, still in my collection).
Walter was a great guy, a true pioneer of meteorite
collecting in Germany, one of

Hi -
I have been contacted by Michael Davias, who is putting for the novel
hypothesis that some fragments of Comet Encke entered into Earth orbit from
Encke's short period orbit, and then impacted the Earth at low speeds later on.
He and his associates have set out some of their work here:
