[meteorite-list] AD: Huge fresh L/LL3 slice

2012-01-14 Thread Rob Lenssen
Dear List, I'm offering a huge 39.4g full slice of the fresh Unequilibrated Chondrite NWA 5919 for sale. NWA 5919 was classified as an L/LL3 S1 W1. The slice contains numerous Bulls-Eye Chondrules and strange Xenoliths, one of which is relatively large and looks to be re-crystalized material.

Yep, also the modelling by Gladman, that 5% of the ejecta from Mars will fall on Earth, but that 50% of the rocks released from Earth/Moon will be collected by the Earth-Moon-system again, tells something about probabilities, but not about the absolute frequency, how often an impact on Moon and

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Classification Question - Instruments

2012-01-14 Thread Carl Agee
Hi Robert, The electron microprobe is the instrument of choice for quantitative analyses of major elements of silicate minerals like olivine. SEM is great for qualitative analyses, quickly to see what elements are present - energy dispersive spectroscopy is nice technique to screen iron

I may have missed part of the discussion, but isn't XPS the acronym for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy? I haven't followed the development of the instrument for many years, but it used to be used for surface spectroscopy. It would only sample the first atomic layer or so of the substrate

Hi Doug, Martin, and List, I know nothing of the mathematics and modeling of meteoroid impact rates, but it strikes me as anomalous (statistically) that we don't have any lunar falls yet. It seems likely that there have been lunar falls, but they were never recovered or recognized. I agree with

Hmmm short glance on the older papers on google, tells that Dhofar 026, NWA 032, NWA 492, and I guess also SaU 169 do have terrestrial ages of 10 000years and less. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Galactic Stone Ironworks [mailto:meteoritem...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Samstag, 14. Januar
