Many new meteorites will be offered that have not been offered in Europe or the US. Also at the show there are tons of minerals, fossils and others.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 49, Issue 16
I am very new at the study/collecting of meteorites and what I know about the subject is mostly from Norton's _Rocks from Space_. I often feel at a loss when I read discussions that assume terms I do not understand. One, for example, is the use of 'new' and 'old' with regard to Campo. Is this a reference to a different find from a different body or a newly available group that appears to be less weathered than some I've seen? More to the point, I'd love to hear a recommendation for a reference that would help answer such pedestrian questions without bothering the professionals that seem to make up the population of this list. I see a lot of negative tone in posts here and would be happy to leave in favor of a lower level (beginner friendly) list if such exists. At my level, I am seeking help understanding what I see on meteorites and read in ads or posts. For example: looking at the picture linked below, what should I be able to say about the subject other than it is a Sikhote-Alin? http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/89764842 My first interest in meteorites several years ago suggests some different looking things are being sold today than just a few years ago. I wonder if this is different cleaning, new finds (dug as opposed to surface) or fakes in the market. Some of this may be the likes of shattering big irons into more saleable pieces (Campo, in particular) but there seems to be a lot of things out there that a reading of Norton does not cover. If anyone on this list has any interest in either of the subjects were I am more comfortable (links below), I would be happy to trade information for lessons in 'Meteorites 101'.

I have a lot to offer to the list this week If you're interested in anything listed below please contact me off list at bobadebt at ec.rr.com The pictures I uploaded are of entire groups, if you would like more detailed images of the item your interested in let me know in your email. Thanks --- First up I have some new Canyon Diablo Graphite Nodule Slices available for $2.50 per gram I processed a 360 gram end cut and got 1 large super nice 73 gram slice, 3 medium sized slices and a variety of smaller slices. You can see the 4 largest slices by clicking this: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Graphite/Slices1.jpg You can view all I have to offer by clicking this link and then clicking the Canyon Diablo Graphite Nodule link http://home.ec.rr.com/bobadebt/Rocks/FS.htm --- Next I have an 89 gram assortment on Mali / Erg Chek whole specimens and fragments available for $3 per gram I'm selling these for another dealer as part of an agreement to earn his trust in hopes that he will send me a larger specimen from which I will be able to make a sphere. Some of these pieces are about 90% fully crusted You can view all of them by clicking this: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Graphite/WS1.jpg --- Finally I have a 10 piece Uruacu Whole Sale Lot. It is comprised of 9 normal 3-5mm thick slices and one 15mm thick slice The total weight of the lot is 339 grams and I'm asking $250 which is 75 cents per gram Uruacu is more difficult to cut but my process leaves a very smooth surface so there will be very little work need to sand, polish and etch these Most are loaded with cohenite-schreibersite inclusions the bottom right slice had a fissure in it and once it was cut it separated into 2 slices so one side is cut and the other has a crust like weathered surface. You can view the lot by clicking this, it's not a good picture but it gives you an idea of what they look like http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Graphite/WSLot1339grams.jpg __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] holy grail of martian meteorites
Hi Steve, This question can only be properly answered by addressing It at several levels: In theory, one that PROVES life on Mars does or did exist. Of those known to exist, ALH84001 would, of course, be the Holy Grail of the known Martians. Of those that are (at least theoretically) available, Chassigny is, By far, the rarest, making it the Holy Grail of available Martians. Hope that clears it up, Steve.

[meteorite-list] Win a meteorite contest: We Have a Winner!
Hi all, The Win A Meteorite Contest has a WINNER! The winning guess is 36 grams! The response to the contest was GREAT! Within minutes of launching the contest I had 4 guesses and they were really close! After well over 100 guesses later someone has already guessed the weight of the meteorite. AND THE WINNER IS Steve Eshbaugh in Missouri, USA with a correct guess of 36 grams! Congratulations Steve! This 36 gram iron meteorite is an awesome specimen to add to any meteorite collection. It's a beautiful piece with a very interesting shape. I hate to let it go but you earned it. Great job. Also, I'd like to announce 1 runner up. I wasn't planning on doing this, but since the response was so great and people were bidding so many times I thought it only fair to give an extra meteorite away. How cool is that? This was such great fun and everyone got so very excited about it, I'm having another contest. This time though, I'm adding one more rule... ;) Look for the new contest in the next 24hrs!

How about, NICE PICTURE DOUG!!! Jerry Flaherty - Original Message - From: Doug Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2007 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 49, Issue 16 I am very new at the study/collecting of meteorites and what I know about the subject is mostly from Norton's _Rocks from Space_. I often feel at a loss when I read discussions that assume terms I do not understand. One, for example, is the use of 'new' and 'old' with regard to Campo. Is this a reference to a different find from a different body or a newly available group that appears to be less weathered than some I've seen? More to the point, I'd love to hear a recommendation for a reference that would help answer such pedestrian questions without bothering the professionals that seem to make up the population of this list. I see a lot of negative tone in posts here and would be happy to leave in favor of a lower level (beginner friendly) list if such exists. At my level, I am seeking help understanding what I see on meteorites and read in ads or posts. For example: looking at the picture linked below, what should I be able to say about the subject other than it is a Sikhote-Alin? http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/89764842 My first interest in meteorites several years ago suggests some different looking things are being sold today than just a few years ago. I wonder if this is different cleaning, new finds (dug as opposed to surface) or fakes in the market. Some of this may be the likes of shattering big irons into more saleable pieces (Campo, in particular) but there seems to be a lot of things out there that a reading of Norton does not cover.

On Sun, 9 Dec 2007 17:36:16 -0600, you wrote: And when all is said and done at the end of the day, it's still in the eye of the beholder Well, since the term holy grail means something that is difficult to find and requires time and effort to aquire, then it can't be just any Martian that you happen to like, and it can't be one that you find for sale regularly on Ebay or on someone's web site. To fit the actual meaning of the term holy grail, it would have to be a Martian that turns up only rarely, and in small amounts. Which is why I said Governador Valadares. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Holy_Grail noun 1. A distant, all-but-unobtainable ultimate goal of a person or organization. 2. A difficult or near-impossible goal that would prove to be a major benefit (example: nanotechnology is the holy grail of medicine) __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Meteorite dates lunar volcanoes *Picture of Kalahari 009*
Hello All, Unsure if this article has already been posted, but it hasn't arrived in my inbox yet, so here goes. Article text below; see link for the picture. Jason --- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7128000.stm Meteorite dates lunar volcanoes Volcanoes were active on the Moon's surface soon after it was formed, a new study in the journal Nature suggests. Precision dating of a lunar rock that fell to Earth shows our satellite must have had lava erupting across its vast plains 4.35 billion years ago. This is hundreds of millions of years earlier than had been indicated by the rocks collected by Apollo astronauts. Scientists say the information will help us better understand the beginnings of the Solar System. And they urge future Moon missions to try to obtain more of these most ancient rocks. We want to understand how the Solar System formed, how the planets formed, said Mahesh Anand from the UK's Open University. The Moon is the only place where you can go to find the first 500 million years of geological history, because these old rocks have been lost on Earth, he told BBC News. Botswana fortune According to the favoured theory, the Moon was created some 4.5 billion years ago in a smash-up between the Earth and a Mars-sized body. Material thrown into space is believed to have coalesced to become our satellite. Volcanism on this new object would not have started until its surface had cooled to form a crust and its insides had become separated into a mantle and a core. Quite when this might have happened has been hard to pin down. Virtually none of the basaltic rocks collected by moonwalkers are older than 3.9 billion years; but with less than 400kg of lunar material returned to Earth, many scientists suspected Apollo would not be the last word on the subject. Now, Dr Anand - working with Dr Kentaro Terada, from Hiroshima University, Japan, and other colleagues - has put a new date on a lunar meteorite known as Kalahari 009. Sometime in the past, this 13.5kg volcanic rock was blasted off the Moon by the impact of an asteroid or comet and fell to Earth in what is now Botswana. Moon knowledge Scientists know it comes from the Moon because of the type of oxygen atoms it contains. And by looking closely at the ratio of uranium and lead atoms in the rock's phosphate minerals, the team has also been able to say when the basalt was ejected - 4.35 billion years ago, give or take 150 million years. The age of the phosphate is the age of the rock, said Dr Anand, because the rock solidifies when the magma cools, and when the magma cools the mineral forms. Volcanic activity is a secondary process. A planet has first to form, solidify, and separate into layers; and then there is melting of that solidified mantle to produce volcanism. So we are pushing all of this further back in time; and [our research] suggests these processes took place over a much shorter timescale than had previously been thought. New interest Space agencies have renewed their interest in the Moon three decades after the Apollo landings. Europe's recent Smart-1 orbiter has been swiftly followed by Japanese and Chinese spacecraft. India will be next; and in the coming decade we should see robots land on the lunar surface, with astronauts set to return by 2020. Scientists say the Moon has much to tell us about the early Earth. The surface rocks on our planet are relatively young because they are constantly recycled into the interior. The not-so-dynamic Moon, on the other hand, has an abundance of early material on its surface. Researchers think it should even harbour ancient Earth meteorites - rocks that travelled in the opposite direction to Kalahari 009. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
