Martin, All,
I would like to point out that the law prohibiting the approved export
of meteorites from Australia, the Protection of Movable Cultural
Heritage Act, was passed in 1986.
309 meteorites have been recovered, analyzed, and officially published
in Australia since then, not including the
Martin,
I believe Canadian export practice is now working not only because the
rules were well thought out but also because the people in charge are
level headed and thoughtful.
Thanks Monica and thanks Ian!
The crater forming meteorite is Whitecourt. A new iron find which fell

logic would lead us to conclude that prohibitive export laws are not the
culprit.
My personal belief is that this is correct. Export laws can work and Canada
is an example of that. The problem here is not the federal export laws but
the individual state laws (W.A., S.A. N.T. in particular)
Thanks for sending this out.
The article is a little confusing regarding the dates. Part of the

Confusion is added considering there were 2 fireballs out here this

Hi Jason,
some of the federal laws in Australia were even earlier in place.
The find numbers, correct me if I'm wrong, were produced mainly by
official expeditions, two times Euromet (one of them at least hopelessly

Most lunar rocks are impact breccias - rocks made up of bits and
pieces of older rocks. The pieces are called clasts and they may be
suspended in a matrix of crystallized impact melt, glass, or
shocked-compressed smaller clasts. Big clasts are fragments of
rocks. The smaller clasts
Any reported sonic booms? The reports I'm reading seems to lack this
little tidbit of important news for meteorite hunters.

Thanks Randy:
That answers my question.
Perhaps 2011 will be the year when the first lunar is found in North America.
Good luck to all out there.

Hi Mike and List,

I assume they are talking about Almahata Sitta. I had not heard this
before.
Yes, Almahata Sitta is right. As we all know, ET amino acids have been
found in
The article is missing a description of the genesis of the asteroidal material.
Almahata Sitta is a ureilite (among other things), which cooled from very high
temperatures (in excess of 1100C) during its formation.

After all it did hold probably most of it's cosmic velocity, meaning it
was incandescent for just a few seconds at most, right? Even when you
consider iron conducts heat much faster and more efficiently than stone,
could such a large mass heat all the way to the core in just a couple

Hello All,
Rob asked:
So the obvious question to ask is why anyone thinks that the interior
of 2008 TC3 was ever heated up to 1100 C? Sure, the *surface* of the
asteroid got very hot when it entered earth's atmosphere, but how is
that different from Murchison or any other meteorite-generating

Rob,
Marc sent me this response after I posted the article:
Yeah, apparently de novo synthesis. Hot, carbon-rich gases in the
ureilite formed a small amount of amino acids in the meteorite as it
cooled. My bet is that it happened on metal surfaces which acted as a
catalyst, and it's not all

I have just received an email from Hazel at METEORITE Magazine. She indicated

The current MAPS is a special issue devoted to 2008 TC3. That's the
October/November issue, Volume 45 Issue 10-11. If you don't have the hard
copy, it's available online.
