Re: [meteorite-list] Ontario Meteor over 200 reports

Dear List, Just curious... This meteor fireball passed at approx 22:00 hrs on 6/14/12. There was also a near-earth astroid 2012LZ1 (nearly a city block wide) that was supposed to pass by at approx 23:00 hrs on 6/14/12. Could this have been a co-traveler (stragler) with the 2012LZ1 main mass? Any

Greg, Guess I owe you a milkshake I thought you were asking what type of environment (i.e. from an external source) might cause a stoney to change color over time. In other words, to cause redoximorphic features. We see this a lot in my line of work. So, I assume it must happen to

Re: [meteorite-list] A Survey for Collectors

Question #1: I agree with the others, but I would add SIZE. All collectors are different, but most have some idea of what they want (specimen size) in their collections, or at least, what they will settle on. At some point, specimens simply become impractical, to the average collector (too

Ed, I will sometimes use WD40 on previously treated/preserved irons, as a twice-a-year cleaner/sealer as a rub-down with a clean towel. But, I always heat my specimens to ~ 400 F for ~ 20 minutes, prior to every application (let them cool first... ouch...). I have noticed two things when

All, Is would seem logical (assuming the story is true) that if a dog can find a meteorite in the middle of a large field in West, Texas; and further, find that same stone to be 'unusual' enough (i.e. maybe sulfur-stinky???) to carry it back to his owner's front porch, its not because the
