[meteorite-list] my favorite chondrite

Hello List, What can I say, my favorite chondrite is Gold Basin! It's the first meteorite I found a few years back. I was just there after the Tucson show and found three more and a gold nugget in 1/2 days hunt. It's nice to have a big strewn field right here in America. Not only that, they are

[meteorite-list] Re: Petrologic types and point values

Hello Gents, List To my best recollection, the decimal value is not a scale from 3 to 4, such that 3.5 is half way would be between the two grades. It is an index for another characteristic peculiar to feldspathic minerals , I believe. The value after the decimal (e.g. 3.X, 3.5, 3.7 etc.)

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Petrologic types and point values

No, it's simple. The decimals divide petrologic type 3 into ten finer divisions. They are meant to convey a sense of relative metamorphic grade, just as the original 3-4-5-6 numbers did. The reason this was done for type 3 and not for 4-5-6 is that the differences between a low-type-3 (now

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Petrologic types and point values

Hi Jeff and list You are correct that the scale should not be thought of as linear. Ok ... But when it is not linear, there must be specific definitions for each subdivision ?. Best Lars - Original Message - From: Jeff Grossman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday,

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Petrologic types and point values

The divisions are mostly based on measurements of induced thermoluminescence, which changes in response to crystallization of feldspar in chondrule glass. Induced TL changes by a factor of 1000 across the type 3's, so a logarithmic scale was created, and divided into 10 slices. I don't know

It would seem to me that the "meteorwrong" list makes quite a few generalizations that may or may not be exactly correct. The LeBennes showed me a meteorite last year that had perfectly round nickel/iron spheres. I'm not sure what it was called, does anyone know?

[meteorite-list] poor taste

Regarding the 8 photos of the supposed shuttle break up, they are not real, yes they are in extremely poor taste but none the less, fakes. I recognize them from a movie, special effects. Also notice the ship in the images is in space, that's not where the shuttle was when it failed.
