Hi all other mad scientists,
I once tossed a Canyon Diablo indvidual into a beaker of concentrated sulphuric acid.
The piece bucked, bubbled and twisted in its death throws, but nothing like what you
guys experienced. Sounds like your magic juice was really green...I mean green like
alien! Cue
Hi All,
After years of abuse, life in a overheated room, covered with dust sitting on a dirty
floor, no software updates and frequent sudden power surges or outages, the server
named aristotle that held the Global Colletion of Meteorites finally broke down.
I think I have farily recent backup
Hi Mike and Walter,
Probably the more odd of all my esoteric collecting strands is my arrowhead
collection. I have a set of irons from different locations that resemble Native
American arrowheads. I have S-A, Taza, Canyon Diablo, Henbury, Mundrabillia, Boxhole,
Gibeon, and maybe a couple a coup
Right away, I compared the fireball pic with the S-A painting right away to see if it
might have been used as a template. I found almost no similarities between the two. I
also looked at the pixels of the fireball for any obvious artifacts, deliberate
dithering, aliasing, etc. and found none.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the update. After I got my piece with the AML number, I looked around for
more info. I did notice, however, that you list the original find as 850g. Meteorites
A-Z lists it as 400g.
I guess I will have to get around to taking some pics of my piece for you (and anyone
else)
Hello Steve and All,
Steve,
I noticed in your ebay description of Rosamond Dry Lake:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2193811760
that it was found recently by BOB verish. There must be more than one Rosamond Dry
Lake because I have a fragment with a polished face complete wi
Hi Tom,
I have a very nice small slice of Krasnojarsk for sale. It is pictured on my
www.planetwhy.com site under October Sky sale.
As you probably know, Krasnojarsk is the pallasite that the German-born scientist
Peter Simon Pallas studied in 1772. Although it is uncertain if Pallas believed t
Hello Twink and all,
The Ice Limit, named after the threshold between where icebergs can be found in the
ocean as one heads south, is an interesting, but heavily fictional story of the
attempted recovery of a very heavy object. That much I found enjoyable as the
engineering aspects are fun to r
Howdy Folks,
I've been cleaning up again and found some meteorite specimens and thin sections I no
longer need.
Tomorrow morning (Wednesday) at or about 7am mountain time (9am Eastern, 6am Pacific)
I will post the meteorites on my planetwhy.com site.
I am posting the material at this time to m

Interesting observation about Spade and Estacado.
For those who have not seen Estacado, here is a link to a pic of my polished slice

Hi David,
Here is a website that should help:

In the classroom section for students, they offer a poster comparing the two planets.
Here is a link in the site where Mars and earth are compared (but not geologically):

The simple difference between science and religion is this:
Science, when faced with conflicting evidence, must abandon or modify existing theory.
Additionally, when there is no falsifiable method to test a theory, no statement from
science can be made.
Religion is not bound by these constraint
Hi Michael,
It appears that he also stole your Paypal ad as well. Should the buyer click on the
paypal logo, the cash will go to you. Sounds like a deal to me.

Hello Greg, Adam and All,
I was talking with John Horner, the famous dinosaur digger of Montana once about the
naming of dinosaurs. He felt that the name should represent something about the beast
rather than the one who found it. An example is instead of T. rex, which seems to me
not much of a
Hi Tom,
A picture is worth a 10^3 words. Any chance you could capture the feature on pixels?
It sounds like the ablation process was differential, or maybe it intersected small
thumbprints. I have some thin oriented specimens of various localties that have a
serrated appearence, but not necessa

Hello All,
I have two pieces of Pasamonte (the eucrite that fell in 1933 in New Mexico, with a
total known weight of only 3-4kg).
The pieces are 7.6g and 4.3g and both pieces have crust. I also have a specimen card
from the collection these pieces came from. The larger piece gets the original c

specimens for sale tomorrow at 10:00 am Pacific Time. If I get stuck in
a meeting, the post will be at 11:00 am instead. Either way, it will be

Howdy Folks,
I have a wonderful 3.3 gram fragment of Orgueil I may sell. It came
from an institution collection, and I have full documentation.
This nice piece of meteorite history can be yours if the price is
right.
I will entertain offers on it, but to be honest, I doubt I would let it go
