RE: [meteorite-list] Cleaning Scale off Stonys
Hi Pete and list, interesting read this one, just an untried thought after years of cleaning ancient coins now and then, the caliche is a carbonate, I am assuming, it should dissolve rapidly in HCl or Hydrochloric acid, dilute to slow it.

A while ago I posted a request for any suggestions to make getting scale off of stone meteorites any easier, without a response. I tried a few things myself and I'll pass on the results for anyone who is interested: De-scalers like CLR or Limeaway are messy, smelly and potentially dangerous, even in a diluted form down to 25% with distilled water - and it changed the appearance of the surface somewhat. A furnace humidifier scale-be-gone solution was the same disappointment. Hydrogen Peroxide, however, was a definite help, and at the household 3%, it's relatively safe. I submerged the intended stone in the peroxide for about an hour, and while keeping it wet I started cleaning. It is still a meticulous task - I still needed to use the dental picks, but the scale comes off a lot easier and in bigger chips, and doesn't appear to harm the meteorite. I soak the stones in alcohol when I'm done to displace the water. I'll try 10% later, and if there's an marked advange I'll post the results...unless someone else tries it first... I suggest you wear disposable gloves, though, as the stuff will bleach your fingertips. Any input or further suggestions would be appreciated.

RE: [meteorite-list] Paint Could Alter Asteroids Course
The mind half boggles, how about the effect of volatiles evaporating from the paint? e.g. land a lump of material that begins to vapourise when illuminated by the Sun. Paint and thinners, the vapour from the material will at first possibly provide more thrust than the variation between light dark bits... I also am thinking, if the material was of a high gloss, it would work better than , say, a powdery coating, such as talcum powder. Kevin, VK3UKF. Paint could alter asteroids course The Scotsman (United Kingdom) December 31, 2005 Scientists have spoken of their plans for a project to stop asteroids hitting the earth. Researchers from Glasgow University are looking into the possibility of spraying lumps of rock and ice with paint to knock them off course. Spraying the asteroids using a robot droid in space would heat or cool the surface using the sun's rays, hopefully diverting them from hitting the planet. It is thought this method would be much more effective than that fictionally used by film star Bruce Willis in the blockbuster Armageddon, where he and a team drilled a nuclear bomb into the core of a massive rock. Dr Gianmarco Radice, who is leading the research, told the Daily Record newspaper: With an asteroid you are faced with the danger posed by one piece of rock. Blow it to pieces and you could be faced with the even bigger problem of many more smaller pieces of rock hurtling towards the earth. Ours would be an unmanned mission. There would be no need for Bruce Willis. The £300,000 three-year study into asteroids at the university is being backed by the Government's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The main threat is currently a 390-metre wide asteroid called Apophis, which Nasa believes could hit earth on April 13, 2036. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] old woman meteorite
Dear List, I have a confirmed piece of the Old Woman meteorite. It was found within 2 kilometers of the original Old Woman at a lower elevation prone to moisture. Even though my piece has been converted to mainly shale with only a few specks of elemental iron showing, Dr. Ted Bunch was able to chemically match the two and there are not too many Coarse Octahedrites with a massive 1 centimeter bandwidth running around. Here are some links if you want to check it out. I have it in my safe deposit box so I cannot check the weight after a piece was submitted for study. I believe it still weighs about 130 grams or so.

Re: [meteorite-list] old woman meteorite
Dear Adam, List; I have repeatedly found lots of cretaceous shale balls that have oxidized so much that a good magnet does nothing to them. Even the metal detector doesn't recognize them.but, they are in odd locations, and seem to have been replaced by manganese, or manganese staining. Tim Heinz' site on meteorwrongs has a picture or two. I still remain puzzled but have been too cheap to send them off for an irridium test.

Re: [meteorite-list] Pasamonte stone! FILMS
Hi Jeff and List, Jeff, thanks very much for making these movies available for list (and non list) members. Your video archives and Mark's text archives complement each other very nicely. I witnessed my first fireball a few days ago, on 12/22/05. I left work early that day because I was sick. I was driving home about 4:00 p.m. It was very sunny with only a few clouds. I happend to be approaching a bridge over a river and about a mile of marshland and I saw it traveling from roughly east to west, at a very steep angle. It was breaking up and disentegrating and looked a lot like the peekskill videos on Jeff's site. This was in broad daylight! It was amazing. After years of night-time astronomical observations, during which I have seen many sporadic meteorites, this was amazing. The illusion of closeness was very real. It seemed as though I could have driven over the bridge and into the marsh (with subsequent explanations to my wife) and there a meteorite would be - right in the middle of the marsh! I will never forget it. I hope to see one again. -Walter Branch __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Old Woman Meteorite
Dear List, I could be wrong, and invite opposing views, yet, a silicon result from an Iron body would be stretching the subject. Because of the fight between the discoverer's and the U.S. Government, over the proprietorship the only owner now is the U. S. Government and it will not be parceling out pieces for salenor will any silicon based minerals be accepted as part of the main mass. Just my humble and somewhat ignorant opinion.

Re: [meteorite-list] old woman meteorite
Adam and the anonymous commentator: Actually, it is a very good scientific question. The person who asked was obviously thinking about sedimentary layers in the mountains or their favorite geology text, or maybe the discovery channel. I'd rephrase the answer to be: Shale in geology is the fragmentary-type sedimentary layer that splits in a planar manner usually has high silicate content from the clays it formed originally from (with the help of sea creatures). Clays, very frequently absorb water in sheet like macromolecules with high silicates so you can see where the planar shale splitting derives from...You can have a sedimentary shale high in Calcium (calcium carbonate) from skeletons and shells typically in ancient water sites. Coals are also shales (remember the strip miners - an illusion to this planar like splitting), when the same types of materials get carbonaceous. In the case of the iron meteorite, or for that matter, an old buried Colt 45 or horseshoe, the iron rusts in a manner that is layered, and splits off in a planar mannerVoila - it can also be called shale for this planar splitting characteristic. Just like an onion rind, not to be confused with the onion rind model of asteroids! Saludos, Doug (Hoping to bring my iron pick to a far far away eucrite shale sometime and look for nice diogenite crystals!) In a message dated 1/3/2006 10:58:39 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Somebody asked the following question off-list. I will attempt to answer it: Question: I am just wondering how a totally Iron body can be converted to shale just two Kilometers from the original find. No offense, but isn't shale pretty much silicon? Waiting to be set straight. Answer: It is converted to iron shale when it becomes weathered or terrestrialized (oxidized). This is a well-known occurrence as far as iron meteorites go. Canyon Diablo can be found as both iron shale and in elemental iron form depending on the degree of weathering.

It was found within 2 kilometers of the original Old Woman at a lower elevation prone to moisture. Even though my piece has been converted to mainly shale with only a few specks of elemental iron showing, Dr. Ted Bunch was able to chemically match the two and there are not too many Coarse Octahedrites with a massive 1 centimeter bandwidth running around. Here are some links if you want to check it out. I have it in my safe deposit box so I cannot check the weight after a piece was submitted for study. I believe it still weighs about 130 grams or so.
