Hi Tom, I think another caveat might be that the Toolbox meteorite needed to be used as is rather than pounded into a more desired shape. Just a thought that knocks the wind out of a thousand years of irons. If you cannot grow it, you must mine it. Unless, that is, you want to wait around for it

Re: [meteorite-list] Geology.com Monthly Meteorite Column - December

Bravo Geoff! Very well done. I appreciate your condensed and to the point presentation of meteorite collecting in a nutshell. I have a presentation on meteorites at the National Science Teachers Association's national conference in New Orleans this coming spring. I'll be covering more about

Re: [meteorite-list] WANTED - Holbrook from AMNH

Hi All, I think its not only amazing that the AMNH took the time to hand-label approximately 2000 small individuals from the same fall, but each each numbered Holbrook was weighed and formally entered into the 1935 AMNH Meteorite Collection Catalogue (from where my ballpark figure of 2000

Hi All, Speaking of The Scream in a meteorite, I noticed the same thing in Willamette. Here is my Accretion Desk article on the topic. I also have a Sikhote-Alin that holds a Scream that is pictured as well. http://www.meteorite-times.com/Back_Links/2006/November/Accretion_Desk.htm Happy

Re: [meteorite-list] This day in meteorite history [Canon City]

Hi All, There are three pics of the Canon City meteorite in my October Accretion Desk article in the Meteorite Times at: http://www.meteorite-times.com/Back_Links/2008/june/Accretion_Desk.htm The pic of the 53g piece has wood scars on its crust. Cheers, Martin On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 9:30

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - September 18, 2008

Hi Mark, That would be the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington DC. The display of iron meteorites at that NHM has a unique 3-D graph showing the relationship between the various classes of iron meteorites such as the IV A in the discussed picture. The silvery-white dot on the

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - August 30, 2008

Nice Picture. Thanks. The RFS page texts suspects L6. The enlarged picture suggests a possible L5. Frankly, I'd put my bet on an L4. Cheers, Martin 2008/8/30 Michael Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://www.rocksfromspace.org/August_30_2008.html __

Re: [meteorite-list] Steal of a Lifetime: Mirko's NWA 5411 (on EBay)

Wow Bernd. Good score. I just measured the mega chondrule in my slice of Alfianello, Italy slice. It is 11mm x 8mm and almost dead center in the face, and pretty much all alone. A pic can be seen if you scroll down to Alfianello in my article at the Accretion Desk:

Re: [meteorite-list] Am I missing something here?

Hello Jeff and All, Thank you very much for the thorough and thoughtful reply. I certainly would not disagree with you on such matters. Now I'm curious if refinement in classification will be made for Krymka (like Alex): http://www.meteorite.com/MT_links/2003/March/1krymka.jpg Bishunpur:

[meteorite-list] Am I missing something here?

Hi All, Twice in the past few days, I found myself staring at the screen in confused disbelief. The two statements in sales ads: a yet unclassified CO3 and absolutely rare type L3.05 ! just seem to me to border on absurdity. How can a unclassified specimen be identified by its

Hi Bernd and All, For a close up view of PV, check out Tom's Micro Visions article on it. I suspect that piece might be the PV with the finest polish in the world. Thanks Tom! -Martin On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 9:55 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mike Farmer writes: I found one stone, and
