Why bait people, angels or sleaze-balls, by posting private

Dear List,
The interesting thing about this is the reverse: that a Ford Fairlane
engine block could conceivably be made from pallasitic meteoric iron, processed
with the olivine phenocrysts removed. What a custom car that would be at the
next classic car outing! Of course, if you have to

Dear List Members,
Just a quick note to let you know I have 54 auctions ending today. All were
started at just 99 cents with no reserve. Summer doldrums equals great prices
so you may want to take a look if you can find the time.
Link to all auctions:

Great idea! Maybe the Meteorite Men have enough melted pallasite iron (minus
the olivine and peridot inclusions), laying around to cast into a Ford
engine block. I would suggest a 289 dropped into an early model Ford/Mercury
Meteor.

I need a decent estimate of average annual meteorite influx rate (total mass at
all scales per year) and I'm not sure who has done the best and most recent
job.
Can anyone suggest a source?
Also, does anyone have any idea whether anyone has worked out a meaningful
average speed (from real

We're itching to see fresh crust.
Well done Michael, keep up the good work.

Hi Robert and all,
I think it is John G. Burke in his book Cosmic Debris that has a chart that
shows influx and a pretty broad scale. The scale shows Impacts that occur. A
1 micron diameter object collides every microseconds, a 1 mm diameter every
30 seconds, a 1 meter diameter every year, a

Simple mathematics requires that any particular meteoroid class will
have one average velocity. But the standard deviation is huge! It
doesn't matter whether you are talking about dust, pebbles, boulders, or
asteroids: the body will have an orbital velocity where it crosses
Earth's orbit that
Hello Listers
Way to go Mike :) on the recovery of the meteorites from the Kenya fall...
11.7kg in total not bad. I did the math and if you sold them at $50 a gram
across the board thats $585,000 even if you sold them at $25 a gram thats
$292,500. Thats not bad for a few days of work and about
Wow, congrats. This is a big money fall.
10,500 grams recovered at $100 per gram will yield over 1 million in profit...
Can wait to see pics.

Hello Mike and Listers
Mike so your suggesting that you will be selling the Kenya meteorites for less
then $20 a gram? still $20 a gram at that is $230,000 with with 15-20 grand
invested in the trip and I bet you paid about a dollar a gram or less for the
meteorites thats not bad at all. You
Wow, it would sure be nice to ever see that kind of money. Sadly that is not
even close to reality.
Try it sometime and find out what is involved.
Michael Farmer
PS, why not go for $1000 per gram and net a billion?

Dear List,
I would like to first congratulate Mike Farmer for his, as always, hard work
and first boots on the ground recoveries for the new Kenya fall. Secondly, I
want to thank Mike for inviting me on both trips to Kenya, first one I was not
able to make due to a project at the time, but
Congrats to Greg and Mike!
Great job as always.

Are you for real? I donated nearly 400 grams to ASU, ooops, there goes $40,000,
keeping nearly 5 kg for myself, there goes half a million in profit at your
numbers, sold 3 kg already for a price you don't need to know, but hardly
anything close to what you think.
Am I making profit, yes.

What an adventure, just another feather in your cap.. like a Peacock

I'd like to address the 'value' issue if I may.
Meteorites are worth what someone will pay, period.
Some people will pay great sums for an object that another would

A little more background on the fall,
First want to thank Greg Hupe who went with me for trip #2 less than a week
after trip one. I wanted to get more money, get the first stones home safe and
in the lab and back to Kenya. I had to cancel another trip planned for months
with Greg, so only
I bet that was nerve-wracking, especially after Oman. Talk about
being a Muzungu in a strange land ;)
Obviously your guide didn't renew his white-boy stamp on his license. LOL
Did the Kenyan's classify it already or are you taking care of that?

Ok, this is how the police thing went down.
Scared the crap out of me, you know after a stint in locked up abroad, I am not
too interested in hanging out with police in foreign countries.
Greg and I were with my driver and workers, checking in the field on the 25
people we had hunting, taking
