Hello List, I just ran into something new I don't recall seeing discussed here. While examining a piece of Mesosiderite NWA 1817 (which I believe might be paired with NWA 1878), I found a small cavity in an inclusion with tiny gas bubbles. The inclusion has a fairly dark matrix, but the

Hello List, http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2004/pdf/1562.pdf I've read through many of the LPSC abstracts and this one seems to be significant in that it suggests a reconsideration of the subtypes of many CV3s. The authors utilized several methods to determine the subtypes of CV3

2004-03-20 Thread dean bessey
I have tried oil and it works great. The cuts are smooth, fast and the blades last forever. However, the oil got imbedded in the meteorite cut surface and stained them (And possibly weathered them more also) and it made a huge (And I mean HUGE) mess that took me three months to completely clean

Hi Dean and List, It is crazy using alcohol in a saw that was not designed for it. You need a very low speed saw (1-300RPM) with the motor isolated from the cutting reservoir and fumes or else you are asking for a trip to the emergency room. Alcohol also destroys the rubber seals that protect

Hello Pierre, the hole is most probably a sinkhole, created by the collaps of a cave. I think limestone is very common in the area, underlying the soil. A impact pit of this size probably wouldn't show such a sharp rim and there would be much mud thrown around. Best wishes Dennis From:
