[meteorite-list] Black Onaping (was: Shatter Cone)

Hello Larry, Dan, and List, I do wonder about the metal in the Onaping. Typically, is there metal in Onaping? I pulled out my slice of Black Onaping, it is indeed magnetic in certain spots. This is a revelation. No wonder Black Onaping material is magnetic given the fact that the Sudbury

Re: [meteorite-list] Brisbane Floods

Wow Dean, you paint a vivid picture of the situation where you live. It's good to know you and your family are all ok, including your chickens! To be on the brink of being flooded out by a mere 4 of concrete is scary indeed. And to think where you almost moved, in Forest Hill last year where you

Re: [meteorite-list] Black Onaping (was: Shatter Cone)

A good demonstration of this is to have a large slice of Black Onaping lying flat and rolling a small ball magnet over the surface. Of coarse any sized slice will work as there are metallic areas every few inches apart or so. T.G.I.F. Roman --

Bernd and all, I have a large collection of impactites from all over the world, yes they were caused by meteoritic impact but few have material identifiable from the impactor. My Monturaqui contains visible metallic grains but I had never thought to check my other impactites. Thus far I have

Re: [meteorite-list] Black Onaping (was: Shatter Cone)

Dan, Bernd, All, One needs to look closely to see the metal. In fact it wasn't really visible until I gave it a good polish. A little trick I have for determining if the metal or sulphide in a rock is responsible for the magnetic attraction is to take a tiny chip off a rare earth or

Re: [meteorite-list] Huge Fireball: flash to bang time

sound travels about 7seconds a mile so it is important when viewing a fireball to record the time you view it as well as how long it takes the sonic boom or any other sounds it takes to reach you. A meteeorite 35 miles away will take about 5 minutes for the sound to reach you. Cheers Steve

Re: [meteorite-list] Core samples from chondrites

Hello Sean, I had a core sample taken from a large angrite (NWA 4931) I took to MIT for magnetism analysis a few years ago. They used a 1/2 diamond-tipped bit with water coolant and drilled in about 3 to get to the center of the stone. We clamped the stone onto a drill press and made a

Hi Richard, All, I don't know about private trades and sales but it seems like everyone loses including ebay. Maybe more sales off ebay and payment with money orders... On the other hand, maybe phony meteorites on ebay with an asking price of $250,000 will disappear. Carl2
