[meteorite-list] Chondrules in meteorite

2003-11-17 Thread Jeff Kuyken



G'day all,

I just prepared a small 10.7g unclassifiedmeteorite I've 
had sitting around for a few months. The first photo is the initial 240 grit 
polish:

XXX (Chondrules) 1.jpg

The other twoare polished to600 grit.

XXX (Chondrules) 2.jpg

XXX (Chondrules) 3.jpg

Originally before preparation I was thinking a possible LL3 
but there looks to be too much metal. In fact I have even noticed a few 
fullyarmoured chondrules. Sorry, the metal is not easy to see in the 
images. There are also a couple of darkerareas where the chondrules 
thin-out andall but disappear. Not melted; just not really there. Unusual. 
If anyone has any opinions I'd sure appreciate hearing them.

Cheers,

RE: [meteorite-list] How to etch meteorites

2003-11-17 Thread mark ford
Ruben,

My experience with Ferric Etching is the opposite!, I have found Ferric
Chloride etching to be much better and more stable than Nitric!,  but
you need to neutralize it properly in NaOH / or Bicarbonate and dry the
meteorite well with anhydrous alcohol. 

The length of time to etch is a little tricky with ferric, but
experience gives you a good guide. And I found it is better to etch for
longer with a weaker solution than quickly with a stronger one, this
gives a more controllable etch!

(A coating of mineral oil is also a must!)

Hi Rene and list,
I just saw the link that was sent to you regarding
ferric chloride etching. Although the link does
explain etching with ferric chloride quite well, it
doesn't go into much detail about the stability of
that type of etch. There is a place for ferric
chloride in etching, after all it does give a better
separation of the pattern as well as a great
holographic type etch. However after years of
experimentation with it and nearly every other type of
chemical that will produce an etch I would say without
a shadow of a doubt that Nitric acid and alcohol does
a better overall job. The Nitric solution leaves a
meteorite more stable ( all things being equal that
is)as far as rust goes . Of course if you are etching
something as inexpensive as a Campo you may not mind a
little experimenting.

RE: [meteorite-list] How to etch meteorites

2003-11-17 Thread ruben garcia
Hi Mark,Rene and list..
I don't necessarily want to get into a debate as to
which is the better etching solution nitric acid or
ferric chloride.  Over that past 5 years I have and
currently use both very successfully, but there are
many variables.
1)Type of meteorite being etched
2)Process in which both are used
3)Long term care of a meteorite after etching. 

In my experience I would say that when all things are
considered Nitric acid does a better overall job than
ferric chloride on such meteorites that have a
tendency to be unstable like campo or nantan. 
Gibeon is another meteorite that in my opinion looks
better with a deep etch done with nitric, as ferric
chloride somehow looses something on a finer pattern.
However, properly done ferric chloride looks and
usually lasts very well on more stable meteorites with
a larger pattern such as Canyon, Odessa, and Toluca,
Henbury...etc.

As I stated earlier I use both and have for quite a
while, but I think we all agree it can take some
experimentation to get a system that works well on all
etchable iron meteorites.

Iron meteorites are after all... are..well, iron and
iron will eventually rust, regardless of the type of
etchant used, especially if not cared for properly. My
advice is to experiment and see what works for you,
after all that is half the fun. Who knows maybe you'll
discover something new that we could all learn from.

P.S.
 O Richard Norton's book  Rocks from Space is a
great place for the beginner to learn about nitric
acid etching.

RE: [meteorite-list] etching?

2003-11-17 Thread mark ford


Bill,

On a similar note, I have often wondered if there is another
electrochemical way of 'etching' perhaps using an electrical voltage and
an electrolyte (the Kamicite/ taenite would have different
electrochemical potentials?) So it should in theory be possible to
affect them differently electrically?  You could then control the etch
electronically?


I once accidentally used some Ferric Chloride that had previously been
used to etch copper circuit boards, and it actually Copper coated the
meteorite!! It looked quite strange! The dissolved Copper chloride must
have replaced the surface Fe/Ni  ?  



More Random Thoughts!

[meteorite-list] Huge Rock-Ice Body Circles Sun (2003 VS2)

2003-11-17 Thread Ron Baalke


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3277033.stm

Huge rock-ice body circles Sun
By Dr David Whitehouse 
BBC News 
November 17, 2003

Astronomers have found a large object
orbiting the Sun near Neptune's orbit. 

It was discovered on Friday by an
automated sky survey project designed to
search for threatening asteroids that may
be on an Earth impact course. 

The object is about 570 km across, making
it one of the largest bodies of its kind
found in modern times. 

The new body, made of rock and ice, is
designated 2003 VS2. Re-examining past
records, astronomers have found it in
images taken as far back as 1998. 

Resonance orbit 

The object is one of the largest yet found 
in the Kuiper Belt, a region of space
littered with small rocky worlds orbiting 
the Sun. 

It was discovered by the automated Near 
Earth Asteroid Tracking (Neat) project
using a large telescope at Mount Palomar 
in California, US. 

It is in a so-called resonance orbit with
Neptune. This means that it completes
two orbits of the Sun for every three
completed by the eighth planet. 

Such orbits are stable as they allow the
object to approach Neptune's orbit
without any possibility of collision. Pluto,
currently the most distant true planet, is
in such an orbit. 

Because of the similarity, 2003 VS2 has
been dubbed Plutino, or little Pluto. 

Since the first Kuiper Belt Object was 
discovered in 1992, several hundred have
been found, and many of them are in the 
Neptune resonance condition, too.

[meteorite-list] Microscopic Fossils Bring A Dead Theory To Life

2003-11-17 Thread Ron Baalke


http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/11/17/1069027047410.html

Microscopic fossils bring a dead theory to life
By Garry Barker
The Age (Australia)
November 18, 2003

Life on earth may have developed not from a microscopic bacterium but from an 
inert rock.

Australian National University scientists in Canberra have grown complex 
dead matter that contains some essential elements of life, challenging 
the popular scientific theory that everything living on the planet, from 
humans to hydras, began as bacteria carried to Earth on a meteorite,
possibly from Mars.

The new theory that life developed over 3 billion to 4 billion years from 
lifeless rock forms has been advanced by the ANU researchers and a Spanish 
scientist from the University of Granada. 

They studied microscopic fossils in specimens of the world's oldest rocks, 
found at Warrawoona, near Marble Bar in Western Australia. Initially, the 
fossils were thought to be of bacteria. Now they are believed to be rock 
forms - inorganic structures from which life may have evolved.

The scientific evidence for the origins of life are fairly slim, ANU 
researcher Stephen Hyde said.  We are just adding another piece to that 
debate. It may be that these microscopic fossils in Western Australia are 
bacterial remains, but there is a strong case now to say they are just
standard inorganic chemistry. 

The finding, published in the American journal Science, is an
important step towards understanding the origins of life,
although that was not the intention of the research. Professor Hyde said
his team was looking for new and stronger materials by studying
nature. 

The team had access to samples of the Warrawoona fossils and
discovered that crystals - grown by a relatively simple laboratory
process - resembled the Warrawoona fossils in many respects. 

It's not life, but they do grow into forms that are very similar to simpler
life forms, Professor Hyde said. 

The specimens, grown in the laboratory, were tubular carbonate structures 
coated in an organic silicate skin. The structures were not angular, like 
crystals, but very complex, curvy, wormlike forms. They were inorganic 
but similar in shape to simple biological systems.

Science was not making life in the laboratory, he said, but people are 
producing more complex biological-like molecules in structures from 
non-living systems. We are creeping towards increasing complexity and 
there is a blurry zone between very primitive early life and more
complicated 'dead' stuff.

hours from my good friend, Matteo Chenkenlittle. He was

terrible night, my blood ran cold, my face grew ashen and my
toenails began to itch!
He had been awakened from his mirthless slumber

When he peered out his window there were: tens, ney,

his little villa.  They were riding about laughing and grinning.
It was terrible, I tell you! There they were: having FUN!
And there, on his very own front yard they had erected a

well, it was all just too appalling! (Those faint of heart may want

of mirth and madness.
As they rode off into the night, heir blood curdling threats
were heard, screaming a horrifying threat that they would return
and bring with them a reign of humor the likes of which had
never before been seen!
A lone calling card was found in the morning, and there,
in black and white was the unspeakable truth, they were: The

[meteorite-list] Ad LL3 and H4 for sale

2003-11-17 Thread Rob Wesel
Hello all -

As I said, I am back with more excellent priced LL3 material
This is the same stuff  I was selling before for $10 per gram and I quickly
sold it all. This new stone is the hardest stone I have ever cut as told
to me by my cutter. It is very dense and as such the chondrules are more
altered than one would expect, perhaps the result of multiple impacts?.
It is classified as NWA 1930 LL3 S2 W1 with a TKW of 7.5 kilos.
Not as pretty, not as expensive, but LL3 nonetheless so if unequilibrateds
are your flavor, this is your deal.
These are sliced thin and polished out on both sides. Plenty of armored
chondrules.
The following link will take you there, give it a moment to cue up:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?N21912196
Pieces under 20 grams are $9 per gram
20.1 to 40 are $8 per gram
40.1 plus are $7 per gram

The last batch went quickly at $10 so please get back to me with a couple
choices to secure yourself a piece


The next offering is NWA 1936, an exceptional H4 with exceptional
preparation.
These slices were finished off by Marlin Cilz of The Montana Meteorite
Laboratory. For those of you unfamiliar with his work..it is legendary,
glass-like finish. There was considerable cut loss in the process.
It is classified as an H4 S1 W1 with a TKW 2146 grams.
Price is $3 per gram, a considerable amount for an H4 but given the detail
it  is more than reasonable. I will offer 100% money back including return
shipping if you do not feel this is the best H4 in your collection.
One slice, one endcut, the main mass. Forgive the dark photos, I had to turn
the lights down to keep the reflections down.

Maybe it is a moonstone. It is a rather cheap mineral. The picture is very fuzzy, but the color is about right.
Moon Rock, Moonstone?? He might not know the difference.
