[meteorite-list] Two quartz questions-- one on topic, one off.

First question-- since quartz is so highly common on Earth, why is it so rare in meteorites? Because the oxygen was lost from the parent bodies, maybe? Second question-- off-topic, but related and should be answerable by one of the more general rockhounds on the list. The native stones in my are

"First question-- since quartz is so highly common on Earth, why is it so rare in meteorites? Because the oxygen was lost from the parent bodies, maybe?" Hi Listees, Just a stab, I'd think you need to compare the formation processes and ingredients on hand when the silicates and silica formed.

"First question-- since quartz is so highly common on Earth, why is it so rare in meteorites? Because the oxygen was lost from the parent bodies, maybe?" Forgot to mention, for ordinary chondrites, you'll notice that there is actually a 50-100% greater ratio of Oxygen (to Silicon), in olivine, py

Re: [meteorite-list] Two quartz questions-- one on topic, one off.

Adapted slightly from http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~eps2/wisc/Lect13.html Quartz is a very common mineral in most igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It has also been found in some lunar rocks and meteorites. It has to be said that it is only a very minor constituent of these rocks. An e

Re: [meteorite-list] Large Meteor Streaks Across Sky in Hawaii

In retrospect, I believe I saw the trail it left behind, although I didn't see the actual meteor. It did look remarkably like a jet contrail. I saw it on my way to work Wednesday morning (I do look up at the skies as I walk to work) and noted it because we see very few jet contrails in Hawaii

Re: [meteorite-list] In search of a hammer

Hi, Ed, List, Where was Pompeius Strabo when he died? Pretty sure it was in the immediate vicinity of Rome itself. Encyclopedia Brit., 11th Ed., says Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo died of the "plague," and that "a mob dragged his body through the streets until a tribune interceded." The
