Re: [meteorite-list] New to list - an introduction
Hello Mike, Welcome back to the meteorite community Mike! I hope that you will find this Meteorite List interesting and that it will help you to enlarge both your collection and knowledge as well as you will also get the opportunity to help enlarging ours. Kind regards, Frederic Beroudhttp://www.meteoriteshow.comIMCA member # 2491 (http://www.imca.cc/) Lyon, France - Original Message - From: Mike Bandli To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 2:39 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] New to list - an introduction Hello List, Im new to the list, but not new to meteorites, and I thought I would take this first post to introduce myself. My name is Mike Bandli and I live in Washington State. I started collecting and learning about meteorites in the 90s, but took a 5 year break from the hobby to pursue another unusual (and expensive) hobby of collecting Space Program Hardware. I have a large collection of flown and unflown hardware from Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and the Space Shuttle. Over the last year Ive decided to flip-flop and take a break from Space Hardware and focus back on meteorites, which is my real passion. Anyway, in a nutshell, that is who I am. I look forward to talking to you all in the future!

Re: [meteorite-list] OT - Today in a italian TV program
Hi List members, talking about Ensisheim, I am going to be there this year. My sister who lives in Germany will be taking me there, hence she has the car. So to my German list members, she lives in Spaichingen, what is the best way there? And Bernd, haven't seen you on the list lately, just mentioned that because I love your responses and miss seeing your input, but I do hope to meet you and Paulinchen ;-) at the show.

[meteorite-list] Odour of meteorites
Hello to the List, I hope you won't laugh ;-) at my question which is serious. I would like to know if any studies had been done about the odour of meteorites. I mean, are there any odour components in meteorites (or in some kind of meteorites), like sulphur compounds for example ? Thanks in advance for your help.

[meteorite-list] re:Odour of meteorites
Hi, I too have noticed that when I open my membrane box with my Murchison specimen, it has an interesting odour - reminds me of my organic chemistry experiments at Uni - mainly with aldehydes and ether. I did wonder if it was the cutting lubricant though that was responsible for the odour and not the kerogens associated with the space rock itself, although when Murchison fell, there was a lot of comments from the residents regarding the odour left in the air. What I need is a nice whole specimen and I'll crack it up in a bag with a hammer and huff in the contents!!! When I come down frmo my space trip, I ll get my bloods analysed!

[meteorite-list] odour
Hi.I have been in contact with the persons who found the Ourique meteorite, and all of them refered the initial strong sulfur smell of the stones, now inexistent.The specimens seam to be less magnetic now than when they were fresh, too.I would say that this indicates the presence of an iron sulfur (Troilite?), that progressively oxidated.AA. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

It began its primary mapping mission on March 8, 1999. Mars Global Surveyor is the first mission in a long-term program of Mars exploration known as the Mars Surveyor Program that is managed by JPL for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, DC. Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) and the California Institute of Technology built the MOC using spare hardware from the Mars Observer mission. MSSS operates the camera from its facilities in San Diego, CA.

[meteorite-list] Re: Odour of meteorites
Hi, I have a piece of the famous bubble-gum smelling meteorite NWA 096, which to me smelled more like perfume. That was a few years ago; sadly the smell is gone. Irons, especially if they are rusting, have a pungent, acidic odor. Chondrites generally smell dusty to me with a shades of earthiness like rocks under hot sun. Occasionally you can smell the metal in them too, again especially if there is significant rusting. A slice of Allende I got from Bob Haag years back still smells like a strange mix of gunpowder and car exhaust.

[meteorite-list] meteorite odours
Yes I can attest to the Murchison meteorite odour. Last month while visiting Dermot Henry at the Melbourne Museum I had the privilege to go down into the dungeons to see some of the museum's meteorite collection. I was particularly interested in the Murch and when he opened the cupboard containing many many fragments as well as some decent sized individuals, even after almost 40 years there still was a strong odour. It first reminded me of entering a smokers house ( being very sensitive to tobacco smoke I notice these things ) but the more I smelt them it was more like cinders from an old wood/coal fireplace. I must say I couldnt recognize any alcohol or butane smell as some past descriptions have stated. I also got to see close-up the RAINBOW meteorite held there and it certainly is a nice looking specimen, ( But I am biased towards carbonaceous ones anyway) I cant say I smelt anything on this one( maybe not as many volatiles in it as a CM2) , but it had probably been under the ground for a while but still in very good condition. jim Suzanne Jim __ Do You Yahoo!?
