[meteorite-list] Waco Tribune and News West Newspapers
Hi all, I been getting a lot of requests for these two papers. I only have a few of the Waco tribune articles. However, they can be purchased on-line here. http://www.wacotrib.com/services/content/services/archives.html?cxntlid=navbar Cost is about $6.00 including shipping The dates you'll want are Feb, 19Th (Mike Farmer and Crew) and Feb 26Th (Meteorite Hunters anger Farmers.. or something like that) As for the Hopper story it is only in the West News and I have no idea how to get that one except go to West. I have about 20 copies but probably am not interested in selling any as I'll more than likely save them for fellow hunters that are also named in the story - Steve Arnold, Sonny Clary, Rob Wesel and Myself, etc...

While I have heard nothing further, the linked maps suggest whatever survived may have splashed into Georgian Bay. Mark Hello List This makes me rebound on questions I had prepared for the list - do you know of any occurrence of a meteorite found on a beach, coming from the ocean ? - if not, why ? Are they not looked for ? Or are they just not expectable ? I lived many years on Long Island (NY) and remember especially the mid 90s with amazing tides: El Nino + Equinox tides bringing ashore from the near coastal depths, shells, beautiful weathered glass pieces, stones, that we usually didn't see. We found a 200 years old small snail like shell at Nino time. Just lying on the beach. Not counting old amazing Horseshoe crab shells... There was also the magnificent and powerful Leonid shower from 1997 (or 1996?) ... some meteorites must have gone to the ocean, no ? I am just very curious about this. Off course the found meteorites would certainly be weathered, rounded etc... by their stay in the salty and rough ocean... but knowing that the undersea plateau is wide and long and that tides can bring up elements from this plateau floors... well, there might be some meteorites in it... Or am I totally nut to think that way ? And this would count for most of all coastal areas in the world.

Re: [meteorite-list] Parry Sound, Ontario meteor 5MAR08 any updates on meteorite recovery?
Hi Michael, I have a small meteorite fragment from a fall in 2003 that was found within yards of a beach just weeks after. It had already deteriorated very badly because of the salty wet atmosphere. Pieces from further inland showed hardly any weathering...so I suspect that any meteorite containing nickel/iron (and most do) would not last long in salt water unless it was very large, and then it would also be less likely to be washed up. I think micro meteorite samples have however been recovered from sea sedimentsbut they are not likely to have iron in I suspect. The regular meteor showers such as the Leonids have never had any confirmed/associated meteorites attached to them as far as I know as they are from dust trails we pass through (too small to survive). Many people have tried to look at the frequency of these showers and link them with meteorites with no definite success. Hope that helps...I do not know of any meteorite that has been recorded being washed up on the beach...anybody else on the list know?

[meteorite-list] Could Life on Earth Have Come From Ceres?
http://astrobio.net/news/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=3058mode=threadorder=0thold=0 Could Life on Earth Have Come From Ceres? Astrobiology Magazine Summary (Mar 05, 2009): The dwarf planet Ceres is rarely mentioned as a candidate for habitability, but the possible presence of an ocean and hydrothermal vents suggests it is plausible. If life developed on Ceres long ago, could it have seeded the young Earth? Could Life on Earth Have Come From Ceres? By Lee Pullen Astrobiologists hope to find life elsewhere in the universe, or possibly even in our own cosmic neighborhood, the solar system. Their efforts are usually concentrated on worlds such as the planet Mars, or icy moons like Europa. However, there are other, less conventional locations in the solar system where scientists think life may be found. Ceres: an unusual choice At the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life conference in Florence, Italy, Joop Houtkooper from the University of Giessen divulged a theory that life could have originated on an object in the asteroid belt named Ceres Ceres was considered to be a planet when it was discovered in 1801, but it was later downgraded to asteroid status. With the latest planet definition from the International Astronomical Union, the round object is now considered a dwarf planet. Is there a chance that this exotic world is home to extraterrestrial organisms? This idea came to me when I heard a talk about all the satellites in the solar system that consist of a large part of ice, much of which is probably still in a liquid state, says Houtkooper. The total volume of all this water is something like 40 times greater than all the oceans on Earth. This reminded Houtkooper of a theory about how life originated. Organisms may have first developed around hydrothermal vents, which lie at the bottom of oceans and spew hot chemicals. Many icy bodies in our solar system have rocky cores, so they may have had or still have hydrothermal vents. Houtkooper realized, if life is not unique to the Earth and could exist elsewhere, then these icy bodies are the places where life may have originated. Looking at the evidence Early in the history of the solar system was a period known as Late Heavy Bombardment, a turbulent time when cataclysmic asteroid impacts were common. If there was life on Earth before this dangerous era, it was most likely eradicated and had to begin again after much of this cosmic debris had cleared out of the inner solar system. Interestingly, evidence indicates that Ceres avoided being pummelled by devastating impacts during this time. If it had been bombarded, it would have completely and forever lost its water mantle, as its gravitational force is too weak to recapture it. This is probably what happened to the asteroid Vesta, which has a very large impact crater and no water. The evidence points to Ceres having remained relatively unscathed during the Late Heavy Bombardment, states Houtkooper. He says this means Ceres still could have a water ocean where life could have originated early in the history of the solar system. This leads to an interesting hypothesis. If the Earth was sterilized by colossal impacts, but Ceres hosted life which survived, could the dwarf planet have reseeded our world with life, via rock fragments that chipped off Ceres and then crashed into Earth? Are all organisms on Earth, including humans, descendants of Ceres? This is an idea that Houtkooper had to pursue. I looked at the different solar system bodies which either had or currently have oceans, he explains. The planet Venus probably had an ocean early in its history, but the planet's greater mass means that more force is needed to chip off a piece of the planetary crust and propel it in the direction of the Earth. Smaller objects like Ceres have lower escape velocities, making it easier for parts of it to be separated. Houtkooper then calculated the orbital paths of candidate planets, moons and asteroids to see which were in the best positions to have pieces successfully reach the Earth, without being intercepted by other objects. Ceres fared favourably in these calculations. Life on Ceres Finally, Houtkooper considered the possibility of organisms still being present on Ceres. In the ocean, there could be life, he suggests. On the surface, it would be more difficult. But there are some possibilities. There could be hydrogen peroxide-based life, able to withstand the low temperatures. It's not currently known whether hydrogen peroxide is present on Ceres, but nothing rules it out, either. The thought of Earth being seeded with life from Ceres and creatures existing there today is certainly fascinating, but Houtkooper admits that it is more science fiction than science fact until evidence can be provided. This is naturally difficult to obtain, as Ceres is a small and distant world. Even the best current images contain very little detail, and just show that there

[meteorite-list] More nonsense from Mars Nuts
Hi Dirk, all - What the hell is wrong with these Mars Nuts? The Back Contamination hazard never seems to penetrate their fantasies. Here's an idea: As its going to take many years of effort to clear the Back Contamination hurdle, why don't we build CAPS in the meantime? E.P. Grondine Man and Impact in the Americas The scientists now believe the combined data warrant a manned mission to Mars to retrieve further samples. The results indicate very strongly that life was once there and... that life might still be there, Taylor said. When we say life, we're talking about bacteria, single cell primitive life forms, like we have here on Earth. It'd be underground, we'd have to drill down, so these little rovers that are crawling all over the surface would never find it. Two US-backed rovers are now exploring the red plant and transmitting unprecedented images of the barren landscape, but may achieve little else. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Find a Falling Star for $35
Hello Michael(s), Find a Falling Star may be in less demand now days but within the past 10 years it was listed on eBay and sold for as little as $50 and upwards of $225 in the for what it is worth flashback trivia moment $35 is consistent with the going low end AEAIK. Amazon is a broker and so you may find the the very same specific copy by a specific seller listed for different prices on different broker sites. If one can find it cheaper, then go for it-- IF content alone is what one is interested in. FAFS is not just a book but remains an obligatory piece of meteorite history and condition does affect value. For ole cantankerous me, I'd be hesitant to quibble the semantics of $5 in the whole scheme of things, especially when arriving to stake out my spot on the list under the premise of Snipe not lest ye be sniped. Heck! lets do quibble semantics... te he he. We all know that when we hit rock bottom it means all the easy excavating has taken place and there is yet more under the bedrock top and soil bottom( hence the cliche` Rock Bottom) Whilst more may be found under rock bottom, the easy to locate has pretty much been exhausted. This is to illustrate that a rock bottom price is the lowest practical price and not necessarily the absolute low price. Welcome to the List!
