Hi
The biggest Muong Nong-type tektites appear to be in the Laos-NE Thailand
border and in Hainan. For sure they are very proximal tektites/impactites. I
think the microtektite distribution pattern is a better indicator though as
it's going to be statistically more reliable. All the evidence

Dear Listees:
It's hard to believe, but the 2010 Tucson Gem Show is only six weeks
away. My 2010 gem show guide website has been completely updated and I
hope those of you coming to Tucson will find it a useful resource:
http://www.tucsongemandmineralshows.net
It includes the following:
Organic compounds are found in comets and carbonaceous chondrites; this has
been verified many times. The Moon has undoubtedly been pummeled by this space
debris many times in the past, leaving traces behind. It's a pretty far
stretch to call it life, however; you may as well say life exists
Hambleton is particularly interesting, as it was found by one of our own, Rob
Elliot. Once Fernlea Meteorites folded, however, I have no idea what happened
to either the main mass or any subsequent slices. At one point I was hoping to
buy some crumbs from him, as this pallasite had a very

I hope you are right about Tucson. Las Vegas already has a world class annual
gem show, just not a mineral show. There are several Gem and Mineral shows

Arlene's got the name right and it's a great place to visit.

Do you know that the Las Vegas Gem Show used to be a full-fledged Rocks and
Minerals Show years ago? I had many occasions to talk to some of the
largest mineral dealers doing that Show, and I was told repeatedly that it was
a
very poor Show financially and attendance.
Hi Anne,
That is funny. I have heard from several dealers who do the Tucson the same
thing. They say the income was so poor that they couldn't even make the show
fees and that they will never be back again. The only dealers I have not heard
complaints from were at the Inn Suites. They say

Hi Mike and list,
coming from a family of farmers in Ohio, (and deer hunters,) It looks from the
photos that there are a lot of animal tracks around it, I would ask the farmer
if salt blocks were placed there for years. The animals will
dig a pit after many years! even a couple.
If he says No,
Dave,
Thanks for the reply. This is a cow pasture and there are a lot of
hoof prints in and around the hole (around the entire field really). I
will ask him about the salt blocks. The pasture is fenced in, so if he
did leave anything out, it wouldn't be for deer, but only cows.
Thanks,
