[meteorite-list] From my kitchen...
Hi folks, I am writing right from my kitchen now, as I approached there around 10:15 GMT. Not many people know about my kitchen, but I do. Now I am here. I wonder, if I should open the fridge now and should make public, what I'll find inside, before other fridge hunters will break the secret right here on the list. Lot of traffic here, three cats, two from the neighbourhood - professional fridge watchers, although Monday is the worst day for breakfast here in central Europe. Shops closed on Sunday, no fresh breadRecently a well known researchers team found some hints, that leaving home without breakfast could cause an ulcus. Found some old cheese. No pictures available. Guess I will offer some slices exclusively to the list, 2$/gm, before I will dedicate the main mass to science, as it has some strange greenish layers inside (sediments??), similar to Sir Divelbiss' Martian Gabbro surrogates. So hush, hush, get it, while it's old. And, what is this. wow, a tupperware box full of howardite slices!! I forgot to unpack, after I returned from the Gifhorn show. M a r v e l l o u s. Three different. Two classical ones and a totally disturbed one. Two are non-NWAs, so those have correct find data and no troubles with the paired stuff, where each stone gets his own NWA-number, because each dealer bought a stone and got an own classification for it, rushing the poor collectors into buying with the super-low-tkw-gimmick, while the uncle from Morocco has still a lorryload of the material in his cellar. And how thin they are cut! Some have a square inch, weighing in below 2 grams. And quite fresh. One is W1-W2, the other W2, the third has some glossy crust...have to look for the data. Humm, the neighbour cats are not interested in meteorites and my little black one likes more the irons, because they cause more noise, when they are kicked through the house.so I should sell the stuff. But would it be a good idea to post it on the central list? I find on the dealers pages desert howardites, often in fat amorph chunks, priced at 100$ per gram. Wouldn't they get angry, if I'll give my slices away at 50$ to the list members and what would Mr.Market Trend think? On the other hand one is only allowed to post an add, if the price is remarkably reduced...and imagine the difficulties... I'm from the old world and the US-collectors are so shy, wouldn't they think, that such a low price for thin slices (gosh, what a cut loss!) must be a tricky trick? So I'd make dozens of photos, post it to the list and the result will be, that they'll think that I'm a foolish cheater or the material would be worthless, because I priced it so low and thus the work will have been for nothing. But on the Gifhorn meteorite fair my howardites sold best of all my stuff, so the brave ones, who will dare to order, would be happy and I could buy a new chunk of cheese. It's so difficult. Well, first I'll drink a coffee, perhaps meanwhile I'll get some helpfull emails from here.

[meteorite-list] Woman Caught Smuggling Sikhote-Alin Meteorite from Russia
Meteorite smuggling Pravda May 22, 2004 A woman attempted to transport a heavy-weight meteorite from Russia to Japan Customs officers discovered an iron meteorite weighing 1kg among personal belongings of a woman from a Russian city of Khabarovsk who was on her way to visit Japan. According to the information provided by customs services of the Far East, officers managed to detect the celestial rock by means of special scanner at the Khabarovsk airport. Staff of the local department of preservation of cultural artifacts confirmed the fact that the find was precisely meteorite. They also provided an estimate-43 000 rubles. Specialists also labeled the meteorite as national property of the government. Today, the woman faces criminal charges for attempting to secretly transport the piece abroad. Khabarovsk customs officers encountered such case for the first time. Their colleagues from the Coastal region deal with such smuggling of meteorites more often since it was in that region that the so-called Sitohe-Alinsky meteorite had crashed in the region more than 50 years ago. Its pieces can still be found in Ussuriiskaya taiga. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Meteor Explodes Above Colorado
http://www.montrosepress.com/articles/2004/05/23/local_news/2.txt Meteor explodes above Montrose Mike Robuck Montrose Daily Press (Colorado) May 23, 2004 MONTROSE - When a meteor exploded Friday at 2:44 a.m. over Montrose it was serendipity defined for Montrose High School teacher Mike Nadiak and the All-Sky club he oversees. Nadiak is an earth and space science teacher at the high school, and Friday afternoon was the last scheduled meeting for the eight to 10 students who were taking part in the statewide All-Sky network, a project sponsored by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science that has digital cameras set up on the rooftops of various schools around the state. Instead of just the end-of-the-year ice cream social that Nadiak had planned, the All-Sky club was also able to look at images from the MHS camera of a meteor that streaked across the sky from the San Juan Mountains before exploding between Montrose and Colona Friday morning. Coincidently, this was the last day the club was meeting this year, Nadiak said, as an image of the meteor was projected on a large screen in his classroom. They're still analyzing the information, but the debris is probably spread over Montrose. When they refine the data, we will have a better idea of how big it was and where the debris might be. The All-Sky club is part of the school's Geoscience club. Each morning, the students check whether the camera picked anything up the night before. Some nights it's just planes circling the airport, but last night the camera recorded the meteor. It's a great privilege to be a part of this (All-Sky program), said senior Kiel Brennan, who is president of the All-Sky club. I will go look for pieces of it once they get a better idea of where they might be. While the students ate their ice cream, Nadiak briefed them on the latest information about the meteor from a Web site. We were eating lunch outside when Mr. Nadiak came out and said to come in if we wanted to see something really cool, said Christine Kessler, a junior and past president of the All-Sky club. I'm the type of person who will sit on a sleeping bag until 3 a.m. hoping to see a meteor, so this was pretty exciting. It was the second time in two years that the All-Sky camera at MHS caught a meteor blazing across the sky. The last large meteor in the area was Nov. 28, 2002, on Thanksgiving around sunset, but Friday's meteor was even brighter than the first one. Physicist Chris L. Peterson, a member of the Denver Museum of Nature Science's meteorite investigation team, saw images of the meteor from several cameras, including one from his Cloudbait Observatory in Guffey, Colo. This one is much brighter than the one from Thanksgiving, Peterson said. Unlike the one that dropped around the Black Canyon, this one probably fell on yards and streets in Montrose. It was just a huge explosion overhead since it was coming straight over Montrose. Peterson said he couldn't say for sure what size the meteor was yet, but he guessed it was larger than the Thanksgiving meteor, which was the size of a filing cabinet. He said residents should be on the lookout for black, shiny rocks with a smooth, uniform texture on the outside. The most common type of meteor rock looks like concrete on the inside if it broke on impact. The All-Sky network has 10 cameras mounted on the rooftops of schools around the state and one on top of the Denver Museum. To capture the images, the camera looks down into a convex mirror, which looks up into the sky and shows a field of view almost down to the horizon. The camera is connected to a computer, which runs a meteor detection program. Because the camera is always on, any moving light-emitting object in the sky is recorded as a digital image on the computer. A computer program identifies movement in the sky and records only the sections where something has occurred. Students then watch the saved clips to sort out airplanes and other nonmeteorites before sending them to a database at the museum to be studied. For more information on the meteor, or to provide information if you saw it, go to Peterson's Web site at www.cloudbait.com. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Scientists Study Lunar Meteorite (Dhofar 280)
http://www.timesofoman.com/newsdetails.asp?newsid=57199pn=local Scientists study lunar rock found in Dhofar Times of Oman May 25, 2004 MUSCAT - Scientists currently focus on a rare lunar rock found in Dhofar governorate and is expected to reveal, for the first time, more information on the mineral and chemical composition of meteorites, according to Dr Salim bin Hamad Al Busaidi, director of geological surveying at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Dr Busaidi said studies on the meteorite, named Dhofar 280, were carried out at university laboratories in the US and Russia and the stone was found to contain three formations of iron and silica indicating that its origin was the moon. He added the meteorite was also found to have tiny quantities of nickel, phosphorus and chromium. The official said the chemical composition of the meteorite showed it came from higher parts of the moon which are lighter in colour and geologically older from its lower parts. He said Dhofar 280 looked much like a similar meteorite named Dhofar 81 collected earlier, also from Dhofar, but was found too small to add any new information. A Martian rock weighing 223kg and named Sayah Al Ahmar 94 was also discovered in the Sultanate. Dr Busaidi said the Sultanate is now well-known around the world as a field for search of meteorites and added that studies were being carried out abroad on 1,336kg of such rocks collected by the Directorate-General of Minerals from various parts of the Sultanate especially from Dhofar governorate and the central region. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Assuming a raisin sized moon rock weighed a gram...the $5 million/gram versus $1,000/gram is 5000 times more costly. I'd bet you your next year's earnings that NASA would be on ebay selling moon rocks if they could get $5,000,000/g for it. Joking John, Reading, PA John, It is not a lunar METEORITE that was stolen. You mean to tell me that you sell material from the Apollo 17 Moon Mission for $1,000 per gram??? Hell, **I'LL** buy all of that you can get your hands on, provided you can provide free and clear title, documentation, and provenance for the specimens. It is a priceless piece of U.S. (indeed, HUMAN) history. A piece of the Moon as large as a raisin brought back by the Apollo 17 crew valued at _only_ $5 million?

I say: Don't tell me...you don't work and live off your partner's earnings? First off I did not say the raisin rock from Malta was a meteorite...I was just comparing the price of moon rock, regardless of where it was picked up. Assuming a raisin sized moon rock weighed a gram...the $5 million/gram versus $1,000/gram is 5000 times more costly. I'd bet you your next year's earnings that NASA would be on ebay selling moon rocks if they could get $5,000,000/g for it. Joking John, Reading, PA John, It is not a lunar METEORITE that was stolen. You mean to tell me that you sell material from the Apollo 17 Moon Mission for $1,000 per gram??? Hell, **I'LL** buy all of that you can get your hands on, provided you can provide free and clear title, documentation, and provenance for the specimens. It is a priceless piece of U.S. (indeed, HUMAN) history. A piece of the Moon as large as a raisin brought back by the Apollo 17 crew valued at _only_ $5 million?

RE: [meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 3, Issue 43
And as for NASA selling Apollo Mission collected specimens if they could get $5 million per gram for them... I'm afraid you lose. Even if they would fetch $1 billion per gram, NASA _cannot_ sell them by law. Price isn't an issue in that regard. They are property of the U.S. Government (i.e. all of us who are U.S. citizens). are you SURE about that? just because apollo moon rock is the property of the people does NOT automatically mean it cant be sold. there are plenty of things that the government (ie we, the people) own that are sold. if nasa sold moonrock, proceeds would probably have to go to the treasury for use by congress, as opposed to going back into nasa's operating budget, but I'm not aware of any fundamental reason why they couldnt sell the stuff off... _ Get 200+ ad-free, high-fidelity stations and LIVE Major League Baseball Gameday Audio! http://radio.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200491ave/direct/01/ __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Eureka! ( some soapbox)
Hi List, A friend took me to his meteorite hunting spot on Friday, and I finally found some meteorites! Not one but 2. What was really cool was that the first one was a 3.8g iron and the second was an 18.1g stony! What are the chances of that?! I would not have found these without a metal detector (although the stony might have been found with a magnet, but the iron was deep). I don't want to name the friend or his spot for the fear that he will be inundated by requests for guided tours. The iron looks to be a twin of several of the Taza irons I have in my collection, so I'm pretty sure it's a meteorite. The stony is unmistakable. What would I have to do to have them classified? I imagine most of each specimen would be lost in the process. Is it important that I get them classified or are these smaller specimens unimportant in this regard? Now for the soap box: Unfortunately we found numerous ATV tracks in a motor-less area. My friend hadn't seen any tracks before. I hope this doesn't get the area closed off to meteorite hunting. This is exactly the type of activity that results in more restrictions. I personally don't believe that it has any significant impact on the ecosystem, but it is a violation of the Law and could have unfortunate consequences. It wouldn't bother me much, but I have seen the same thing at Willcox Playa so it could be a growing problem. I imagine that many of the tracks at Willcox were from ATVers in general, but I notice that every conspicuous rock had numerous tracks leading to them. This was in the BLM strip of the Playa which is closed to all vehicle traffic. I would hope that most ethical hunters would mention this to hunting partners or other parties engaging in illegal activity while in the field. It only hurts the hobby. End of editorial comment; proceed. Well, I hope that this will encourage you unsuccessful hunters out there! My fatigue and discouragement quickly disappeared after my friend found his first stony. (Was there hope for me?) Then he found a small iron. They're here! (but it can't happen to me...can it?) Then came my iron and soon after, in the same area, my stony. After that I could have continued for hours more, but it was getting late. My friend topped off the day with a 120g stony as we headed back to camp. Keep at it and don't give up. If you're finding lead shot and zipper teeth, you'll find meteorites if they are there! Happy hunting! Mark (meteorite finder) Bowling Mark A.

[meteorite-list] Sikhote Photo
Dear Listees: Greetings all. I thought I'd share a new photo of a particularly fine 1.4 kg Sikhote-Alin that I acquired during this year's Tucson show. A while ago there was a thread on the List inviting us to post our favorite Sikhote photos, but I didn't get around to photographing this piece at that time, so here it is now: http://www.notkin.net/meteorites/sikhote-1.4.htm It really does defy gravity and stand up on its end like that with no help : ) Regards, Geoff N. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
