[meteorite-list] Ballistol Source?
Good Morning- Recently I purchased a large Campo meteorite for my collection and have been recommended to occasionally use Ballistol on it to avoid corrosion. I have not been able to find it locally in any gun, sporting goods or hardware stores. I did find a couple sources on the internet but with a very high S/H. Would any of you be able to recommend a reasonably priced internet source? And if worse comes to worse- would you recommend an equivalent alternate? Thank you Mike __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

[meteorite-list] Interesting read about an old meteorite fraud
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/287477_starman04.html How a local boy found his destiny in the stars Meteoric tale forged friendship, cemented interest in astronomy for future scientist Wednesday, October 4, 2006 By CAROL SMITH P-I REPORTER KIRKLAND -- In one of those chance collisions rampant in a random universe, a bit of space debris crashed into Jeffrey McClintock's life half a century ago and propelled him in a direction he might never have imagined. McClintock, then 13 years old, picked up his morning paper that January day and got so excited his brain felt like a bottle rocket with a lit fuse. A meteorite had streaked from outer space straight into the backyard observatory of a Kirkland man, nearly setting his house ablaze before embedding itself in an old astronomy text. It was 1955, two years pre-Sputnik, and space fantasies consumed many a burgeoning telescope geek, including the skinny McClintock, a Popular Mechanics devotee and would-be stargazer. McClintock, who is now senior astrophysicist at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., and an expert on black holes, was so impressed he had to see Luther Hawthorne's meteorite hit for himself. His quest was such a pivot point for McClintock that the scientist recently embarked on a voyage back in space-time -- real, not astronomical -- in search of those early scientific roots. I seek your help, he wrote the Seattle P-I. While in junior high school, I read on your pages what remains the most astonishing newspaper story that I have encountered in my 64 years. But as sometimes happens when looking back through the ages with a more powerful lens, the universe isn't what it seemed. Adventure in Kirkland Back in 1955, McClintock, who lived with his parents, two brothers and a sister in Port Orchard, dredged up Hawthorne's phone number and wrangled an invitation to visit him in Kirkland, then a sleepy, rural place. He caught the little ferry to Bremerton, then the big ferry to Seattle, then a Greyhound bus to Kirkland, which is where his adventure truly began. There, old Mr. Hawthorne picked me up and drove me the rest of the way in his DeSoto, which had a distinctive meteorological seal prominently displayed on its doors. He was all over the road, and I saw the locals pull off into driveways and fields to avoid a possible collision, McClintock recalled. His eyesight was dim, and his hook hand at first disturbed me. Hawthorne, 72 at the time, was an amateur astronomer, certified weather spotter, former machinist and ex-Scout master who lived alone. A diabetic, he was in failing health, which likely accounted for the missing hand. In McClintock, though, he'd found a fan. At his home, Hawthorne showed the dumbstruck kid the punctured dome with bits of meteorite driven into the metal. Standing there under the jerry-rigged metal lid of the homemade, mini-Mount Palomar, McClintock was captivated -- but by something else entirely. I remember staring at his refracting telescope, said McClintock, who had lusted for just such a device poring over magazines at home. McClintock already had tried two home-built versions, himself, the first an 8-foot linoleum tube tricked out with a $1 pair of lenses he'd seen advertised in Popular Mechanics. But telescope lust is no small force of nature, and no sooner was that one built than he wanted a bigger one, more powerful than the last. The second was a 6-inch Newtonian reflector fitted with a mirror he'd made himself. My first discovery was that everything looked upside down, he said. He would poke the lens out his attic window and marvel at the way he could read the letters on a blue car lot sign across the bay. But mostly, he would stare at the moon. It would be the end of the decade before the U.S. named its first astronauts; the end of the next before it put a man on the moon. To the teenage McClintock, though, just the sight of the moon up close filled him with awe. He would aim his viewfinder to catch the sun sweeping off its peaks, which looked as near to him as the Olympics. His hobby made him feel a bit of an oddball. No one in his immediate family or at his school shared his enthusiasm for the night sky. Despite the lack of encouragement, he pressed on. At the time he met Hawthorne, he had just begun work on a 4-inch refracting telescope using a commercial lens, but he was stymied about how to build a mount. He knew the mount for the scope was as critical as its optics if it were to be useful. Hawthorne, who must have sensed a kindred spirit in the teen, offered to help McClintock build such a stand. Over the next nine months, McClintock would trek to Hawthorne's house and hang out in his tool-stocked shop. I had never seen metal cut by anything except a hacksaw or a torch, and to see his lathe peel off metal like it was a potato skin was astonishing, said McClintock. They made the mount out of pipe fittings and bronze rods, and in the process, forged a

[meteorite-list] Meteor Awes Arizona Residents
http://www.azcentral.com/community/ahwatukee/articles/1004ar-meteor1004Z14.html Meteor awes Foothills residents JJ Hensley The Arizona Republic October 4, 2006 Jeff Hartman was just out for a night of relaxing stargazing with his new telescope Sunday night, but he didn't need that visual amplifier to witness the biggest news in the sky that evening. The fireball, an extremely bright meteor, streaking across the sky caught the attention of Hartman, an Ahwatukee Foothill video-game programmer, and countless others throughout the western United States. Hartman used to work at the Tomchin Planetarium and Observatory at West Virginia University, so unlike many observers, he didn't mistake the fireball for a wayward piece of space trash or a downed plane. It was very impressive, Hartman said of the unexpected sight viewed from a park near 44th Street and Ray Road. It was probably the width of a human hand per second across the sky. Nikki Diamantopoulos saw the same thing as she ate dessert in her Ahwatukee backyard Sunday evening. It was probably the biggest shooting star I'd ever seen, she said. And I did hope it wasn't anything worse. Worried residents called police and fire departments. It turns out Arizonans weren't alone in witnessing the fireball as it hurtled through the night sky. Residents in New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas reported similar sightings shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday. Another was reported in Washington State a short time earlier. A group that tracks such events found the early October increase in meteor activity follows a pattern. In October 1996, Mark Boslough, a New Mexico resident who tracks incidents, received reports from Texas, California and New Mexico of large meteors. A few years before that, the same pattern emerged along the East Coast, and in October 1998, the same pattern was repeated in El Paso. It is possible that early October may be the time of an annual meteor shower, but with bigger meteors, Boslough said. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi Fellow Meteorite Lovers, Just a brief note to let you know my hammers page is growing by leaps and bounds. I now have almost 35 different historical falls available including photos of the falls, photos of fire balls, links to videos, specimens available at very competitive prices, etc. Thanks to Rob Elliott for the latest photo addition - the roof of the building struck by Moss (I also have the outhouse and the plumb tree!) The success of the grand opening of the page on Sept. 19th stirred a surge of research on my part resulting in many more acquisitions now available, as well as new photos, information, etc. Martin Horejsi told me he considered the site a significant contribution to meteoritic documentation. (blush, blush) I must admit even I am impressed with it! I have, however, been shocked by the number of friends I have asked if they liked it who responded, Oh, I haven't been there yet. So, let me encourage you - you certainly don't have to be in the market to buy anything to enjoy seeing the information and photos on this page. (I consider the photo of the Barwell bolide streaking past Albert Hall to be worth the entire visit). See Mike Farmer standing next to huts in Thuathe, see what the city of Heze looks like, see the Ugandan boy struck by a 3 gram Mbale stone after it zipped through a bannana tree (which probably saved his life) and don't miss the Moss outhouse! So, here it is - check it out: http://www.michaelbloodmeteorites.com/Hammers.html Best wishes, Michael PS: If anyone knows of (hammer) material available NOT on the above site, please contact me off list.

Well, I did email the seller with a respectable tone - offering my experience and so on, and spent some time explaining that the pics couilld be better and so on and that the price was unreasonable and so on... I obviously wasted far too much time - I got a single word response Thanks Then I saw the other guff they were selling at equally ludicrous prices so I again, politely and self-effacingly emailed them back apologising for not realising that you were a major loon and that I was foolish to try to help!

I also contacted this seller about item #300034369553 - METEORITE offered at £7,000,000 starting price, saying that he will never have a single bid and I received the following reply: 'Of course when someone's grandaddy bought a large house his friends only jested that it might make a million one day.

Re: [meteorite-list] The eBay $13,000,000 space rock
Hi Frederic The maximum cost to list any item at any price is $4.80. The real money is in selling of the item for Ebay. The fees would be almost $200,000 for Ebay and $377,000 for PayPal. Here is the fee calculator I mentioned on this same subject earlier in the week. http://home.alltel.net/micrep/fees.html Just enter 13,000,000 in both the starting and final sales price. Enter 0 for shipping as he is nice enough to not charge for that and you will find the numbers I came up with above.

Re: [meteorite-list] Murchison Price Difference
Don, A trip to Times Square in New York City ... There's some character and a crowd oo-ing around him while three upside-down coconut shells he melodically shuffles. One of them has a pop cap under it. You watch. It's the one on the right. Some apparently innocent bystander steps up to gleefully shout That One! pointing to your same coconut shell. The dealer lifts it up ... and there's the pop top. The bystander snatches a twenty dollar greenback from the dealer and both sport Garfield rodent eaten grins. So you decide to match wits with such a meteoric dealer. The crowd opens up and steps aside... and there you are, through the gauntlet. Abracadabra! Whi You gasp for your hypnotic moment, and you can't even grapple for a grumbled guess. That One! you meekly offer, as your heart thrashes in your chest. Oh! For some enlightenment as your time expressedly expired. Before you finish aspirating your ...One, the $20 is slipped from your hand and you're done. You didn't even feel Jackson's crispy creases tickle your tingling fingers.

AW: [meteorite-list] Murchison Price Difference
Hi Don, although the difference is astounding and the seller decided to hide his feedback and to make anonymous the bid history - (I ask myself, why any seller is doing that in a branch, where a dealer essentially lives from his/her reputation??), I can assure you that it was no shill bidding, as I know the seller in person. He had also enormous defeats to bear on ebay before... Most ebay-meteorite-sellers will be able to explain, how such differences between prices for the very same stuff happen, but they won't do, because it would mean to judge the abilities of their clients on ebay Buckleboo!

[meteorite-list] Ballistol to Sheath to Barricade Alternative
Hello- One of the list members replied to me that if I could not find Ballistol to go to a product called Sheath. He has had very good luck with it. After mentioning it- I remember having read of this on the list some time ago. He mentioned the Sheath is available at the Gander Mountain stores here in Ohio. I went to one near Columbus tonight. For those of you looking for Sheath- it has been replaced (in name) by a product called Barricade. Same company (Birchwood/Casey) and same product qualities according to the label. In small print on the front of the upper right corner of the Barricade label it is marked Formerly Sheath. So thank you to all that offered advice on Ballistol- in Europe it sounds very readily available (I believe it is a German based product). You guys are lucky! Got my big Campo, got my Barricade- I'm all set. Take care Mike __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[meteorite-list] AD - Catalog update, and pictures of the Rockies
Hello everybody, My Catalog is finally up to date. I just added some 30 pieces. Some are classics like Boxhole, Dawn and Ghubara. Portales Valley is a classic too, but these 2 cute little slices have very nice iron veins, not so common. Others are not so classic, like Aumale or Ste Genevieve. And there are a few desert pieces too, like a funny little curled Taza. Enjoy! and let me know if you have any questions or would like some pictures. http://www.impactika.com/Catalog.htm And since you liked my pictures last week, here is another batch of pictures taken up in the Rockies last weekend. These might be the last ones for this year. You won't find me up there when they are covered with that cold white s (well, you know, a four-letter word starting with S). http://www.impactika.com/co1006.htm Enjoy!! Anne M.
