RE: [meteorite-list] Questions regarding Unclassified meteorite sales
No Dealers collecting the rocks = few rocks to study = tiny meteorite research budget = no meteorite scientist jobs. Simplifying : (Rocks to study /10) is better than (rocks to study=0) So before those of you call it 'NWA raping', bear in mind that the whole field of meteoritics depends on trades, exchange of material and amateurs spending thousands of $$ and hours searching the far reaches of the planet, so the scientists can spend most of their research budgets on analysing rather than collecting Mark __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Best Wishes to Joel
Hi Jeff, aren't among all those meteorite enthusiasts any to be found, who have some experiences in editing to continue the magazine? I mean in our digital times it can be done from everywhere on the globe. The format of the textes and pictures are known, the publishing company and their conditions too, and only a person would have to be found there to send the magazine around. (hmm, we know somebody, who recently moved to New Zealand and has experiences in sending thousands and thousand of parcels...). Just thoughts..

[meteorite-list] SALE ONLY 5 CENTS A GRAM
I have several hundred kilos of lower grade leftovers that are mostly smaller that I can liquidate cheap. I doubt that you will ever see meteorites this cheap again. I have a much harder time buying meteorites nowadays and they wont last forever. Just look at NWA869. It seemed to be everywhere and now you cant buy it anymore. And some people dont even realize that its all gone now. Just a week or two ago somebody even commented that it was selling for 8 cents on ebay. Thats because some people trying to be dealers with small amounts dont realize that its all hunted out and that they are selling it cheaper than the cost in morocco now. And this cheap lower grade stuff that I have wont last forever either but with 1000 kilos dumped on the market all at once just before munich prices got suppressed. So this lower grade stuff is 5 cents a gram minimun 2 kilos plus Shipping from munich Germany. I dont know the cost for shipping yet but it seems to be about 20 a kilo for airmail. Email me with orders and I need paypal payments. They will be sent in a couple days but if somebody wants a couple hundred kilos I can send airfreight or you can alway arrange your own shipping.

[meteorite-list] NASA Dawn Asteroid Mission Told To 'Stand Down'
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/051107_dawn_qown.html NASA Dawn Asteroid Mission Told To 'Stand Down' By Leonard David space.com 07 November 2005 A NASA mission to two of the largest asteroids in the solar system being readied for liftoff next year has been placed in stand down mode. The ion-engine propelled Dawn mission is dedicated to investigating the two most massive asteroids known: Vesta and Ceres. These two baby planets are very different from each other yet both offer tantalizing clues about the formation of the solar system. Dawn is designed to improve scientific understanding of how planets formed during the earliest epoch of the solar system. Dawn has been on NASA's books for liftoff in mid-June 2006. The decision to stand down, according to SPACE.com sources, appears related to budget-related measures and workforce cutbacks at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Extremely robust mission Yes...NASA has asked us to stand down, said Dawn's principal investigator, Christopher Russell of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). None of us take this as any indication that they [NASA Headquarters] do not want to launch Dawn, he told SPACE.com, given strong words of support from space agency personnel in Washington, D.C. Russell said that Dawn is an extremely robust mission. The particular launch opportunity that the spacecraft mission is heading for is extremely long - over a year long, he noted. This is both a blessing and a curse, Russell said. Typically a planetary mission heading to a launch opportunity has a very limited time for any delays. In this case, we can tolerate delay in launch without science impact, and so when someone wishes to review an issue to gain more confidence that it is completely resolved then it may result in increased expenditures but not loss of the mission, he added. Russell said that there are a number of technical issues that on a chemical launch would be examined in parallel to development, but in this case we were asked to stand down while an independent assessment team reports back to headquarters. This has interrupted the final preparations for launch and we wish that they had not done this, but it is something we can tolerate. Econo-class mission Dawn is a NASA Discovery-class mission, selected in December 2001. The goal of the Discovery program is to launch many smaller missions with fast development times, each for a fraction of the cost of NASA's larger missions. Such spacecraft missions are designed to tackle important questions in science yet do it for a very modest cost. Dawn is managed by JPL with Orbital Sciences Corporation of Dulles, Virginia developing the spacecraft. Earlier this year, the Dawn spacecraft began Assembly, Test and Launch Operations (ATLO). Spacecraft integration and testing of Dawn has been progressing very well, according to Tom Fraschetti, JPL's Dawn Project Manager in a status update last month that was posted on the Dawn project website. Ceres, the mini planet The importance of spacecraft exploration of Ceres, for instance, was recently underscored by astronomical study of the object. In September it was announced that observations of Ceres made by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope revealed that the object may be a mini planet - perhaps loaded with large amounts of pure water ice beneath its surface. Ceres is an embryonic planet, noted Lucy McFadden of the Department of Astronomy at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. She is a member of the team that made the Hubble observations, and is also a member of the science team on the Dawn mission. Gravitational perturbations from Jupiter billions of years ago prevented Ceres from accreting more material to become a full-fledged planet, McFadden explained in a press release announcing the observations, issued by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Bubbly meteorite
My guess is that iron hydroxides (rust, limonite) have cemented small grains of quartz sand to the surface. I've seen it plenty of times in sulphide bearing rocks that's been weathered for a while. If the meteorite is an inch across then the biggest grains is 0.7 mm in size, quite common for sand. ... but then I might be wrong. /Göran Darren Garrison wrote: I don't know how else to describe this piece other than bubbly-- on one side there are transluscent yellow (olivine?) bubbles extending outside of the fusion crust. I have one other meteorite that has bubbles like this but they were smaller and I couldn't get a good photo of them. The meteorite is around an inch across.

Dear List Members, For those of you who have not received your copy of METEORITE yet, we have a copy of the IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS by Christine Schiff on MeteoriteTimes in the Now in METEORITE section. Dear Joel and Christine, Our thoughts and prayers are with you both for Joel's speedy recovery. Joel is well loved in the meteorite community.

Re: [meteorite-list] unclassified NWA from Munich
Hello its similar to a my meteorite from NWA classificated L4. The same Shisr 010 have the same matrix. Matteo --- Moser Francesco [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: Hi Folks, I have just cut my firts meteorite, under the table of moroccan dealer in Munich there were some ugly nwa for a very cheap price, the perfect material for cutting and polishing experiment.

As you can see there are a lot of condrule. What could be for you?? H3 H4 or L ?? (remember: it is very magnetic) I think you will say that this is nothing special but for me is a pretty chondrule conglomerate :-) If anyone are interested in a slice for cheap price e-mail me privately.

Dear Friends and Listees: I have been in frequent contact with Joel's wife, Christine Schiff, and she tells me that Joel's condition is serious but that he will get better. I began writing for Meteorite in 1998 and had the great good fortune to become closely involved with it over the succeeding years. As many of you know, I wrote regular feature articles, news stories, book reviews, designed ads for a number of you good people, and worked with Joel on re-designing the magazine's logo and cover back in 2000 (the first issue with the new look was Feburary, 2001). As I said in an interview with Paul and Jim of Meteorite Times, my professional relationship with the magazine remains one of the most satisfying aspects of my life. Having worked in some form of publishing pretty much non-stop since I was a teenager, I know what a Herculean effort it is to produce, at home, with a limited budget, a magazine of such quality. Just getting the thing out on time every three months was a massive accomplishment, but Joel, Christine, Aaron, and their associate editors and supporters also maintained an extremely high level of accuracy and integrity -- not to mention the translations, subscriptions, mailings, etc. It's a mammoth task and I salute the Schiff family and friends for making that magazine so well and for so long. That kind of sustained effort really takes a lot out of you, and now that publication has ceased, it's time for Joel and family to enjoy lots of free time with the knowledge of a job well done. I should point out that neither Joel nor Christine are on the Meteorite List, so they may not yet have seen your kind posts of support. I will personally forward every one of those posts to Christine, as well as any others that may be forthcoming. I gather Joel is not up to answering email at the moment, so it might be best to post your thought to the List, rather than send them to him personally. I'm sure you will all join me in sending Joel our most sincere wishes for a rapid recovery. Sincerely, Geoff N. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] A Thank You for Joel Schiff, Important
Dear Listees: I sent a BCC of that last post to Christine. This one is just for the List. I think we all care deeply about Joel's health and I would like to send him a substantial gift from the community as a thank you for eleven years of hard work. I propose that a collection be made and the proceeds used to purchase a very special meteorite as a gift to Joel from all of us. Anyone who would like to discuss how we could best accomplish this, please write to me off-List. I am open to any suggestions, and would like to see this happen sooner rather than later. Any dealers who might have something special that they'd be willing to make available at a favorable price, please write to me too. Thanks, Geoff N. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Message From Christine Schiff
MESSAGE FROM CHRISTINE: Messages of tribute to Joel are arriving as people learn of his illness. I began to read them out to him, but he became quite distressed, as giving up Meteorite magazine was a very hard thing for him to do. So I am printing them all out for him to read later. There are so many people to thank. If I began to name each of them, I'd be typing To Africa as they say! Each issue of Meteorite magazine, and there were 44 of them, couldn't have been produced without the enormous support of each and everyone of them. Joel knew by heart every name on the subscriber list. We started out 11 years ago with about 240, and ended up with 1,500. Many of the originals stayed with us for the whole 11 years. Our advertisers stayed constant, and without their support we couldn't have produced the magazine. All of you Joel regarded as his friends, and he frequently said what wonderful people you all are. Meteorite enthusiasts are a rare breed indeed. Amazingly Meteorite magazine was mailed out over the years to subscribers in 55 different countries! It was a special experience publishing Meteorite, and we are mighty proud to have been the conduit for the efforts of so many. From me personally, a sincere thank you. The good news is that Joel is slowly getting better each day, it will take a while, but likely it is being helped by all your kind thoughts. Kind Regards Christine Schiff __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
