[meteorite-list] Xynthia Troubles in Europe

Hi List, I was just reading about the brutal storm that ripped through Europe, and I hope our collector/dealer friends in the effected countries are OK. All eyes were on Chile, but Europe took a pounding also. Is it just me, or does Mother Earth seem a little cranky lately? Best regards,

Re: [meteorite-list] Science page update / desert varnish on meteorites

Sonny/List: I'm wondering if the formation of desert varnish can vary depending on different biological and environmental factors. Perhaps in one area a similar thickness may take a shorter period of time.  100,000 years is a long time, but I guess not that long in geological time.  This is

Is it just me, or does Mother Earth seem a little cranky lately? If you accept the hypothesis of Peter Ward's new book, The Medea Hypothesis, Mother Earth is not merely cranky, she wants to kill all her children, is inimical to all life, and will in a few hundred million years mange to kill it

[meteorite-list] Dead comet fragments

Hello everyone - Following a quote at http://cosmictusk.com from astronomer Bill Napier on the abilities of WISE to detect dead comet fragments, I wrote him asking him about it. As his reply also deals with some meteorites' parent bodies (Tagish Lake being prominent) and the composition of

Re: [meteorite-list] Science page update / desert varnish on meteorites

It looks to me like they could just be holes in the desert varnish, possible caused while making the thin section(?).  Pretty interesting, I hadn't noticed it until you said something. Mark B. Vail, AZ - Original Message From: cdtuc...@cox.net cdtuc...@cox.net To:

Yes there is microscopic beauty even in desert varnish. I love to examine the stuff in incident cross polarized light. Email me for some eye popping 700X images. The minerals that make up the varnish have different reflective properties which allow for almost irridized looking effects

Tom, Very interesting. Thank you for your response here. I look forward to reading about how this could be. I would have never guessed that the rock's own minerals could migrate into the surface varnish. I guess as the saying goes. You learn something new every day. This is why I love this list.
