Hello, Dave and the list,
when we are talking about human observations, they are
allways subjective. Don´t mean yours now...;-
Just wondering, if somebody has opportunity to have some
data from air force or civilian air radars or weather-service
radars, this case should be cleared. Don´t know, how
Is there a website that would rate metal detectors for meteoritic research
? I have checked the archives but could not find anything on this topic.
Thanks

Hi,
If we're talking about Illinois and the Chicago area here,
the elevation of Lake Michigan at Chicago is 597 feet. In
general, the lay of the land throughout the state is to gently
decline to the south. Illinois is essentially flat. The elevation
of the Mississippi at St. Louis is 440 feet

Hello List,
While on one of my trips up to the strewnfield, on April 27, there was an article in "The Star" Newspaper (you just gotta love that name!) page A-4 about the incident with Mike Farmer, the Park Forest Police Department and the Winslow Street specimen Mike bought.

Hello Steve, Mike and list,
That 7000 foot value is for the very bottom layer (I
verified with the NWS that my understanding of the term
cloud ceiling height did in fact mean the altitude of the
visible bottom of the cloud deck), if there was indeed more
than one layer, and again that number, for
there is no possibility that the fireball
extuinguished at that low level. It was bright enough to iluminate through the
thin cloud layer. Many parts of the country are higher than 7000 feet. If that
were the case, then many meteorites would indeed set grandpa's haybales on fire!

Just wondered, if I owned a funeral parlor and a meteorite crashed into it, might the meteorite be given the name "Martyn's Mortuary"? LOL

Sorry to disappoint you, but Joel's Iron was named long before there was a

Nomenclature had it been found recently. There are other meteorites with

Hi List,
On hindsight, it seems Joel's Iron was never submitted to the NomCom
since it was found in 1858, but it was studied by Buchwald, and later by
Wasson & Canut de Bon, which establishes this name as authoritative just
the same.

Hello Again list, I am still confused about this line;
"So is forbidden any people has a fragment of it."
Well then, a thin section, endcut, part slice or full slice is OK, just not
a fragment? Please keep this in mind when buying this meteorite!
Thanks, Tom

Hey Mike,
Don't worry too much about the name. Heck, it might just as well have
been named Mike's Chondrite, which would be consistent with the NomCom's
acceptance of the name Joel's Iron from Chile.

Mike,
The Meteoritical Society is not an authority on geographic names. The
NomCom does the best it can in approving names for meteorites based on
geographic names, but mistakes do get made. We often have to rely on
people with local knowledge of the find area (or the submitter of the
