[meteorite-list] Chondrules in meteorite
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: http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA XXX (Chondrules) 1.jpg The other twoare polished to600 grit. http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA XXX (Chondrules) 2.jpg http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA 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.

RE: [meteorite-list] How to etch meteorites
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!)

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. Ruben Garcia ( mr-meteorite on ebay) __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

RE: [meteorite-list] How to etch meteorites
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?
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)
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 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Microscopic Fossils Bring A Dead Theory To Life
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. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Ad LL3 and H4 for sale
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. http://makeashorterlink.com/?J26B12196 First come, first served. Thanks for looking.
