Wow Marcin,
do you have a date? A girl who likes dirt
I imagine you hanging your Droninos in the kitchen over the hob, when you're
preparing the food for a candle light dinner

G'day list, my feelings on unclassified NWA's.
This repsents the ultimate rape of science.
What can be told about an unclassified NWA.
In short, nothing, apart from, I think it is a meteorite and I think it came
from somewhere in Nth West Africa.

Dude you need to wake up to the reality of Northwest Africa. There are not
enough labs on earth to classify every stone found. Just look at the

Kevin,
I am sorry, but that is one of the most incorrect statements I have seen in
a long time.
True, it is difficult that the total known weights and find locations are
not known, but it is what it is. These poor people have finally found a way
to make a living from the harsh sands of the

You can't determine anything about orbits from strewn fields, even knowing
the date and time of the fall. Except in rare cases (such as Sikhote-Alin)
where the body retains cosmic velocity to, or nearly to, the ground, the
direction of strewn fields are determined solely by aerodynamics- mostly
That is correct, we only have the orbits for a few meteorite falls, and they
must be filmed and photographed to obtain orbit.

Hi Geoff, Matt and other participants in this thread...
Geoff, you mentioned that you have seen a few Sikhote-alin that exhibit the
characteristics of a regmaglyped individual as well as shrapnel. Here is an
example of one of my favorite pieces that I acquired years ago. It is an
If it was such a loss to science that unclassified NWA:s were traded,
don't you think some scientist would apply for a grant to buy it in bulk
from the Moroccans?
I haven't heard about any expedition to Morocco by NASA scientists so I
guess this isn't a big problem.
The only data lost is
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
If the original Sikhote body floated around the solar system for 100 million
years, it would have in its original surface, a record of solar activity in
the way of solar wind particles. Let's say for arguments sake, 100 particles

I neither would say, that in past it happened, that collectors were
discouraged by anyone to purchase unclassified stones or classified NWAs, it
was rather about to tell, that most collectors (and dealers) hold them not

Good point,
I have no idea, what the gram-price for an Antarctic meteorite would be, but
to me it seems, that the ANSMET searches are a little bit more sumptuous,
than to have travelled to Morocco to buy ALL stuff in bulk.
The original strewnfield information is lost also with the Antarctic

meteorite falls that are pre-

SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Imaging East Basin - sol 647-654, Nov 04, 2005:
Sprit is healthy. The team operated in restricted sols from sol 647 to
654. (Restricted sols occur when the timing of the communications pass
from the Odyssey orbiter is too
Actually, Geoff-- ALL parts start out as shrapnel shapes once
disruption began: when deceleration stresses sheered the meteor body(s)
apart from front to rear. We know from eye witnesses that there were
several explosive disruptions(8+) and at each disruption there were more
