Dear Michael and Listees
Thanks for the very nice image of the Ensisheim meteorite. It brings
back nice memories of the town and the show. Sorry to be pedantic, but
Ensisheim did not belong to Germany in 1492. Germany did not come into
existence until 1871. Alsace, the region where Ensisheim is
Arlene, List,
A big congratulations to Arlene for that first one, great job! That
first one is a real milestone, (no pun intended!)
I hope it is the first of many to come for you. If Sonny has aything to
do with it I'm sure it is.
Good Job!

Thanks, Mike, for posting Regine Petersen's great and very special photo of
the Ensisheim meteorite.
As I've the pleasure to own one print of the limited edition I feel free to
attest that this is a real work of art.
Best regards, Matthias

I can only heap praise on the quality of Regine's prints. Absolutely
superb, the amount of detail visible on the Ensisheim stone is
stunning. I am very pleased to be the lucky owner of one of these
limited edition prints. Thankyou Regine!
Cheers

Ruben, List,
A fantastic find at the very least. How many meteorites did you have to
locate before you found something so rare? I'm wondering if you had to
find as many ordinary meteorites as would be expected, statistically,
to find a rare one?
When you showed us the picture a while
Truly an excellent photograph. The first one I know of, that really does this
meteorite justice.

Just got a heads up on this new DVD release.
On last night's Meteorite Men show, the narrator was attempting to explain
that the Widmanstatten pattern is caused by kamacite and taenite cooling at
different rates. This is incorrect. How could two intergrown metal grains
buried deep inside a core cool at different rates? The

so during
Thank you Dr. Rubin for that explanation. As a collector of mostly iron
meteorites, I've always been fascinated with the various types of etch
patterns. My question is, how many years does it take to cool per degree in
the vacuum of space? Secondly, what determines the structure from fine
Keep in mind that the longer your exposure, the less sensitive you will be
to meteors. For maximum sensitivity to meteors, you'd like your exposure
time to be no longer than a typical meteor lasts- say a couple of seconds.
Anything more and you'll start losing fainter events. But with most
The November Meteorite Magazine issue should be in your mail boxes very soon if
it has not already arrived. You can expect it shortly. I'm sorry for the
delay. We picked up production mid-stride, but put together what I think is a
nice issue with great articles. I deeply appreciate everyone
If you don't mind my offering a possible answer to this part: what
determines the structure from fine to course.I would say it is the
width of the kamacite bands.
Someone will probably correct me on that though.

The iron meteorite cooling rates generally range from about 1 - 100ºC/Myr.
The reason for such slow rates is that the metal cores are buried deeply
within silicate mantles and heat cannot readily escape. The coarseness of
the Widmanstatten pattern is a function of cooling rate -- more slowly
