The pictures are great, the video interviews were awesome, but to see this monster pallasite in person simply had me awestruck! It is beyond words. There are huge olivine inclusions that are visible from the outside, some about 100mm across.I brought along my new 1,634 gram Lunar, NWA 3163 (actually the 1,121 gram main mass) and brought together the "Million Dollar Meteorites of 2005". Unfortunately Steve could not be there with us but I was able to talk with him on the phone as I walked into the room where the 1400 pound Brenham currently resides. Steve wanted to hear my _expression_ when I first saw it and, boy did he! After all of the "Ohh's", "Ahhh's" and "Wow's", I was finally able to mutter out, "Great job guys, congratulations."Here is a link to a photo of Phil and myself with our incredible discoveries of 2005:http://www.lunarrock.com/MillionDollarMeteorites2005/MillionDollarMeteorites2005.jpgIf you had any doubts of going to the Tucson Show, maybe these two awesome meteorites will encourage you to go as they will both be there.

[meteorite-list] Total Number of Meteorites?
Dear Listees: Greetings all.

Anyone have an up-to-date number on that? Also, there's a popular quote I've heard mentioned a number of times which goes something like: The total weight of all meteorites recovered in history is less that the planet's annual output of gold. Can anyone recall the original source of that quote? Is it Rocks from Space? Any pointers much appreciated.

[meteorite-list] NASA's Cassini Images Reveal Spectacular Evidence of an Active Moon (Enceladus)
December 6, 2005 Erica Hupp/George Deutsch Headquarters, Washington (202) 358-1237/1324 RELEASE: 05-422 NASA'S CASSINI IMAGES REVEAL SPECTACULAR EVIDENCE OF AN ACTIVE MOON Jets of fine, icy particles streaming from Saturn's moon Enceladus were captured in recent images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The images provide unambiguous visual evidence the moon is geologically active. For planetary explorers like us, there is little that can compare to the sighting of activity on another solar system body, said Dr. Carolyn Porco, Cassini imaging team leader at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo. This has been a heart-stopper, and surely one of our most thrilling results. The Cassini images clearly show multiple jets emanating from the moon's south polar region. Based on earlier data, scientists strongly suspected these jets arise from warm fractures in the region. The fractures, informally dubbed tiger stripes, are viewed essentially broadside in the new images. The fainter, extended plume stretches at least 300 miles above the surface of Enceladus, which is only 300 miles wide. Cassini flew through the plume in July, when it passed a few hundred kilometers above the moon. During that flyby, Cassini's instruments measured the plume's constituent water vapor and icy particles. Imaging team members analyzed images of Enceladus taken earlier this year at similar viewing angles. It was a rigorous effort to demonstrate earlier apparitions of the plumes, seen as far back as January, were in fact real and not due to imperfections in the camera. The recent images were part of a sequence planned to confirm the presence of the plumes and examine them in finer detail. Imaging team member Dr. Andrew Ingersoll from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said, I think what we're seeing are ice particles in jets of water vapor that emanate from pressurized vents. To form the particles and carry them aloft, the vapor must have a certain density, and that implies surprisingly warm temperatures for a cold body like Enceladus. Imaging scientists are comparing the new images to earlier Cassini data in hopes of arriving at a more detailed, three-dimensional picture of the plumes and understanding how activity has come about on such a small moon. They are not sure about the precise cause of the moon's unexpected geologic vitality. In some ways, Enceladus resembles a huge comet, said Dr. Torrence Johnson, imaging team member from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena. Only, in the case of Enceladus, the energy source for the geyser-like activity is believed to be due to internal heating by perhaps radioactivity and tides rather than the sunlight which causes cometary jets. The new data also give yet another indication of how Enceladus keeps supplying material to Saturn's gossamer E ring.

[meteorite-list] Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater Drilling Is Over

HOSTETLER TIMES-DISPATCH December 6, 2005 The drilling is over, the probing is under way and there's plenty of packing to do. The scientists at a drill site on an Eastern Shore farm took their last core from an ancient impact crater Sunday morning, at about 5,795 feet. Drilling into the Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater began in mid-September and ran nearly continuously for almost three months. After the core was raised in the wind and rain at about 8 a.m., the scientists began lowering numerous probes into the bore hole and ran into some minor trouble, said Greg Gohn, the U.S. Geological Survey researcher directing the project. The probing should end today and the site will come down, he said. There was no ceremony to mark the final core, Gohn said. We were more glad to be finished than anything, he said. We're packing up what we can now. The USGS paired with the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program on the nearly $1.5 million project to dig into the basement of the 53-mile-wide crater. The crater's epicenter is Cape Charles. Geologists say a fiery space rock, probably an asteroid, blasted into coastal Virginia more than 35 million years ago, carving a hole that quickly filled with tons of water, rubble and debris. The Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater is the largest of its kind in the United States and the seventh-largest in the world. It sits 1,000 feet beneath the lower part of the bay, surrounding peninsulas and the intercontinental shelf of the Atlantic Ocean. Earlier bore holes were drilled along the crater's outer rim in Mathews County, Newport News and at NASA's Langley Research Center. The deepest was about 2,700 feet. In early March, dozens of scientists will gather for a sampling party to retrieve specific sections of the cores, housed by the USGS in Reston, for their research. Scientists expect the drilling to reveal more about the effects the prehistoric impact had on the region's geology and water supply and to help better estimate the space rock's speed, size and energy as it slammed into the seabed. Other scientists will study samples of prehistoric water found in the cores that had been trapped in the crater's depths by the impact's aftermath. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi Geoff and all, The quote as I remember it (don't ask me where from) is the total number of meteorites is less than the total output of Platinum per year. It has to come from some of my reading over the past 10 years ago. Since the big crater events only represent one fall, same material, and the reporter is interested in numbers the interest in crater weight is only good for the out put of gold/platinum saying.
