Hi Jeff and List, I'm hoping someone may know of an abstract/personal/web info on the black (xenolithic?) inclusions found in some of the NWA R-Chondrites? Any info would be appreciated either on or off-list. Here is an example: http://www.meteorites.com.au/features/nwa2921.html Beautiful specimen with a very conspicuous, large, dark clast and another equally large but light greyish-brown clast set in a medium-gray matrix (this light-dark structure is typical of regolith breccias). As for the black inclusion, I don't think it is xenolithic. It represents unequilibrated material of low(er) petrologic type. Hence all those tiny chondrules set in a dark matrix that resembles that of carbonaceous chon- drites. The light- to medium-colored matrix areas show only few chondrules and/or chondrule relics and thus correspond to petrologic types 5 or 6. The dark, chondrule-rich clasts are unequilibrated and correspond to type 3.x (about 3.8 some sources say). But: the dark clasts are NOT carbonaceous but are due to the dispersion of tiny grains of sulfides and Cr-spinels, which causes silicate darkening. My beautiful NWA 3098 (R5) and my latest addition, NWA 2943 (R3-6), which is still in San Diego with Cap'n Blood, also show these dark, unequilibrated clasts. But, whereas my NWA 3098 from Stefan clearly shows chondrule-poor, light clasts and a few small but chondrule-rich dark clasts (see JPEGs in my private mail to you), the NWA 2943 from Michael Blood has an overall higher abundance of chondrules - the chondrules are more evenly distributed. throughout the busy matrix.

When the Park Forest meteorite fell (see also the Canadian astronomy magazine ASTRONOMY - August 2006), everbody interested in meteorites wanted to have a piece of this fresh fall. So did I but the prices for Park Forest soon went skyrocketing and I had already given up any hope of getting some. I now own five specimens (weight in grams: 6.5 - 4.7 - 4.0 - 0.5 - 0.2)! How come? Someone ... a list member wrote: Please e-mail your snail mail address and I will send the following in the next day or so: ... These pieces are a thank you to you. I won't take no for an answer. These are the words of someone who wrote to the List: This has been, without a doubt the most memorable four days of my life. .. and these words came from Steve Witt. Thank you so much again, Steve! Of course, these Park Forest meteorites will never leave my collection as long as I am there and I am writing these words because some people out there should ponder this: You should not lightly re-sell meteorites that were given to YOU as a personal gift - maybe you can buy love but you can't sell friendship for profit's sake!!!

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update - August 11, 2006
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Survives Second Winter Solstice on Mars - sol 922-928, August 11, 2006: Spirit has now survived the rover's second Martian winter solstice -- the shortest day of the year with the least amount of sunlight and solar energy. The solstice arrived on the rover's 923rd Martian day, or sol (Aug. 8, 2006). Spirit is healthy and continues to make progress on its winter science campaign. Having completed the McMurdo mega-panorama, Spirit is currently filling cracks between frames by acquiring touch-up images (dubbed grout by engineers). The rover is also spending this week and next making a series of atmospheric observations at the same time each day. Spirit continues to collect about 280 watt-hours of electrical power each sol from the rover's solar array (a hundred watt-hours is the amount of electricity needed to light one 100-watt bulb for one hour). Sol-by-sol summaries: Sol 922 (Aug. 7, 2006): Spirit measured atmospheric dust opacity (known as a tau measurement) with the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquired fill-in images with the panoramic camera for column 24A (a single frame) of the McMurdo pan. Sol 923: Spirit took a tau measurement with the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquired morning fill-in images for the McMurdo pan with the panoramic camera. Sol 924: Spirit took a tau measurement with the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquired panoramic camera images of the El Dorado dune field (a two-by-one mosaic). The rover acquired images of fine ripples with the hazard avoidance cameras and a rearward-looking view with the left eye of the right rear hazard avoidance camera. Spirit also acquired morning fill-in images for the McMurdo pan. Sol 925: Spirit took a tau measurement with the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquired morning fill-in images for the McMurdo pan with the panoramic camera. Spirit also took a sunset tau measurement, an observation during which the rover evaluates atmospheric opacity at sunset to estimate dust height. Sol 926: Plans called for Spirit to take a tau measurement with the panoramic camera, survey the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquire morning fill-in images for the McMurdo pan. Sol 927: Plans called for Spirit to take a tau measurement with the panoramic camera, survey the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquire compositional data on a rock-and-soil target known as Halley Brunt Offset 2 using the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer. Plans also called for Spirit to complete a morning sky survey using the panoramic camera. Sol 928 (Aug. 13, 2006): Plans called for Spirit to take a tau measurement with the panoramic camera, survey the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquire morning fill-in images for the McMurdo pan. Odometry: As of sol 924 (Aug. 9, 2006), Spirit's total odometry remained at 6,876.18 meters (4.27 miles). OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Opportunity Recovers from Brief Operational Anomaly - sol 900-906, August 11, 2006: While Opportunity was collecting images with the panoramic camera on the rover's 902nd Martian day, or sol (Aug. 7, 2006), a spacecraft anomaly at 11:19 a.m. local solar time caused the rover's fault protection software to interrupt operations, place the rover in a safe state, and reboot the flight software. Upon waking up after the reset, Opportunity flagged the positions of the high-gain antenna and pancam mast assembly as unknown. Opportunity then remained in automode (meaning the rover did not attempt to execute a master sequence of activities for the day). The rover's handlers transmitted instructions to Opportunity to re-establish the position of the high-gain antenna on sol 903 (Aug. 8, 2006) and the position of the pancam mast assembly on sol 904 (Aug. 9, 2006). Sols 903 and 904 were primarily dedicated to retrieving diagnostic information. On sol 904, Opportunity successfully reacquired the sequence of panoramic camera images that had been terminated by the fault and collected scientific data. As of sol 905 (Aug. 10, 2006), Opportunity was completely restored to normal operations. Opportunity remains healthy and engineers have not found a credible explanation for what caused the anomaly. Before the fault, Opportunity had been working on a campaign of science observations of the area around Beagle Crater, including an analysis of laminated ripples using instruments on the rover's robotic arm. Opportunity has resumed work on those observations. Sol-by-sol summaries: Sol 900 (Aug. 5, 2006): Opportunity

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Summer fun with Bubbly - New Launch Vehicle
Rob's message reminded me of the new launch vehicle that my wife developed. We call it the Ragu Rocket. We have not compared other pasta sauces so feel free to experiment. Background... While working in the back yard I found an empty Ragu bottle next to the fence. We have nice neighbors on the other side so the idea of them tossing it over the fence was out of the question. We have squirrels, raccoons and possums that go through the back yard so I figured one of them needed a little Italian snack and dragged it over from the trash. I walked across the yard to throw it in the trash can and discovered 2 interesting observations upon approaching the trash can. 1. The trash can was close to full with an upside down plastic bag on the top with a rounded hole in it (vs an animal clawing or chewing it open). 2. There were splatters of sauce inside the trash can and on the cement on the side of the can opposite from the wall I found the Ragu bottle. My hypothesis is that my wife: 1.

[meteorite-list] Re: Moss meteorite
Hello Morton and List, This may be just a minor point but for purposes of clarification, I would like to suggest that your list of found stones be renumbered. It has already become a matter of public record that the 3rd stone was found prior to 23 July. See Mike Mazur's post: http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2006-August/186072.html You and I have talked at length about this 3rd stone before you made your find of the 4th stone, and there are already a number of email messages that have made reference to the 23July find being the 3rd stone. Maintaining the chronology that you intended in your listing of the Moss meteorite finds will minimize confusion down the road. Thanks for giving this some consideration, and congratulations for being the first meteorite hunter to find a whole stone of the Moss meteorite! Bob V. - Original Message -- [meteorite-list] Moss meteorite Morten Bilet barb-o at online.no Thu Aug 10 03:43:05 EDT 2006 Hi meteorite mailinglist. I`m one of the finder of the Moss-meteorite (I found together with Mike F) It will come a full report with all details later from Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard and me about this fall. But can here summarize little. So far its been found five stones at total weight at aprox 3,1 kg. 1. 35 gr - The first at Martinsens cabin, found friday 14. july 1025 (as the fall time) 2. 750 gr - Johansens house, monday 17. july. 3. 800 gr - Who I together with Mike Farmer found sunday 30 july. 4. 6-800gr - [23July] Its minimal information about this stone. Michael Mazur or Bjørn Sørheim have some info. 5. 676 gr - Found on a company`s roof friday 4 august. I have seen all the stones in my hand exept nr. 4 only at pictures. Nr. 2 and 5 are whole pieces (very minimal damage) They are also paired. Nr. 3 are in many pieces. Nr. 4 are at least in two pieces (maybe more) and the smallest nr. 1 has lost some few smaller pieces. Over a kilo is available at the marked so far, but not nr. 1, 2 and 5. Havent time for more details now, are in the strewnfield every day (I live only 20 minutes from the strewnfield) Full report later.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Summer fun with Bubbly - New Launch Vehicle
Good Evening list! Just ask Rob M. He is a real Sherlock Holmes! ;-) With best regards, Moni From: Paul Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Matson, Robert [EMAIL PROTECTED],meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Summer fun with Bubbly - New Launch Vehicle Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 17:56:14 -0700 Rob's message reminded me of the new launch vehicle that my wife developed. We call it the Ragu Rocket. We have not compared other pasta sauces so feel free to experiment. Background... While working in the back yard I found an empty Ragu bottle next to the fence. We have nice neighbors on the other side so the idea of them tossing it over the fence was out of the question. We have squirrels, raccoons and possums that go through the back yard so I figured one of them needed a little Italian snack and dragged it over from the trash. I walked across the yard to throw it in the trash can and discovered 2 interesting observations upon approaching the trash can. 1. The trash can was close to full with an upside down plastic bag on the top with a rounded hole in it (vs an animal clawing or chewing it open). 2. There were splatters of sauce inside the trash can and on the cement on the side of the can opposite from the wall I found the Ragu bottle. My hypothesis is that my wife: 1. Threw away a partial bottle of Ragu with the cap on. 2. The capped Ragu bottle was positioned upside down in the trash can. 3. The bacteria in the sauce produced enough gas to eventually blow the lid off. 4. The force was enough to launch the Ragu bottle across the yard. Question? How much Ragu is needed to reach escape velocity? Paul At 04:32 PM 8/11/2006, Matson, Robert wrote: Sterling wrote: But if you're dropping the flag right now, I'm breaking out the champagne!
