All, The eBay auction for the Vintage Meteorite Ball (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=1083831262) was removed before it was complete. I don't know if I had anything to do with it, but I sent e-mail to the seller and encouraged him to have it checked out. This guy is _local_ to

Bob, I wrote the seller last night asking what happened. She said," I'm the middle "woman" in this auction. The owner of this was contacted by an employee of the Perkins Conservatory here in Ohio and was asked to bring the item in for testing. He choose to meet with him. I can let you know what

Hi , I noticed this also, But is it proper to cancel an auction minutes before it is to end ? And in this auction it was minutes before it was to end. I would be very upset if this happened to me if I were bidding ! It makes me wonder ? An auction can be canceled at any time buy the seller ?

? An auction can be canceled at any time buy the seller ? If it hasn't received any bids, yes. Seems fairit might frustrate people who were planning on bidding on it, but from the seller's point of view, if there's absolutely no bidder-commitment, no visible interest on his item, he should

Hi, the arctic has a lot of generic problems as sites for meteorite concentrations by ice- fast moving, young ice, relatively warm conditions (Antarctica is on average between 20 and 50 deg. colder during the year for given latitude and altitude), higher accumulation rates. In my humble

Hi All, Has anyone checked out the latest images of Iceberg B-22? This sucker is over 2100 square miles! Think how many meteorites are on it, rafting away from the South Pole. http://uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu/amrc/iceberg.html Since it is no longer technically part of Antarctica, why don't we all

One party heard from... I sent off my chunk of Eagle Butte to Dr. Moore at ASU, carefully not giving him any but the broadest of details so he couldn't be accused (!) of bias. I expect he has many more interesting specimens to examine, but in the end, the analysis will probably be the same.

I've been looking over my meteorite display at the library where I work, and despite the humid, salty air here, my Nantan hasn't shed one pinprick of rusty shale. It's still just lightly covered in orange, which may have protected it from further corrosion. The Sikhote-Alin, on the other hand,

Since Anne has noted the list is quiet :-) I just got my sample back from ASU, and the verdict is that it is indeed slag, like anyone is surprised. Kudos to them for a speedy analysis, and I'm really sorry to have wasted their time with something I was 99% sure was junk, but thank you for
