Hi Steve, your collection has such a quick throughput and speed-of-light-fluctuation, wouldn't it be more suitable just to buy a season ticket of the Field museum? It has the 7th largest meteorite collection.

[meteorite-list] New Horizons Images of Jupiter and Its Moons
http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/gallery/missionPhotos/pages/022807_1.html [Ganymede Image] This is New Horizons' best image of Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, taken with the spacecraft's Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) camera at 10:01 Universal Time on February 27 from a range of 3.5 million kilometers (2.2 million miles). The longitude of the disk center is 38 degrees West and the image scale is 17 kilometers (11 miles) per pixel. Dark patches of ancient terrain are broken up by swaths of brighter, younger material, and the entire icy surface is peppered by more recent impact craters that have splashed fresh, bright ice across the surface. With a diameter of 5,268 kilometers (3.273 miles), Ganymede is the largest satellite in the solar system. This is one of a handful of Jupiter system images already returned by New Horizons during its close approach to Jupiter. Most of the data being gathered by the spacecraft are stored onboard and will be downlinked to Earth during March and April 2007. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/ Southwest Research Institute --- http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/gallery/missionPhotos/pages/022807_2.html [Europa Image] This image of Jupiter's icy moon Europa, the first Europa image returned by New Horizons, was taken with the spacecraft's Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) camera at 07:19 Universal Time on February 27, from a range of 3.1 million kilometers (1.9 million miles). The longitude of the disk center is 307 degrees West and the image scale is 15 kilometers (9 miles) per pixel. This is one of a series of images designed to look for landforms near Europa's terminator - the line dividing day and night - where low Sun angles highlight subtle topographic features. Europa's fractured icy surface is thought to overlie an ocean about 100 kilometers (60 miles) below the surface, and the New Horizons team will be analyzing these images for clues about the nature of the icy crust and the forces that have deformed it. Europa is about the size of Earth's moon, with a diameter of 3,130 kilometers (1.945 miles). This is one of a handful of images of the Jupiter system already returned by New Horizons during its close approach to Jupiter. Most of the data being gathered by the spacecraft are stored onboard and will be downlinked to Earth during March and April 2007. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/ Southwest Research Institute --- [Image] The Little Red Spot: Closest View Yet This is a mosaic of three New Horizons images of Jupiter's Little Red Spot, taken with the spacecraft's Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) camera at 17:41 Universal Time on February 26 from a range of 3.5 million kilometers (2.1 million miles). The image scale is 17 kilometers (11 miles) per pixel, and the area covered measures 33,000 kilometers (20,000 miles) from top to bottom, two and one-half times the diameter of Earth. The Little Red Spot, a smaller cousin of the famous Great Red Spot, formed in the past decade from the merger of three smaller Jovian storms, and is now the second-largest storm on Jupiter. About a year ago its color, formerly white, changed to a reddish shade similar to the Great Red Spot, perhaps because it is now powerful enough to dredge up reddish material from deeper inside Jupiter. These are the most detailed images ever taken of the Little Red Spot since its formation, and will be combined with even sharper images taken by New Horizons 10 hours later to map circulation patterns around and within the storm. LORRI took the images as the Sun was about to set on the Little Red Spot. The LORRI camera was designed to look at Pluto, where sunlight is much fainter than it is at Jupiter, so the images would have been overexposed if LORRI had looked at the storm when it was illuminated by the noonday Sun. The dim evening illumination helped the LORRI camera obtain well-exposed images. The New Horizons team used predictions made by amateur astronomers in 2006, based on their observations of the motion of the Little Red Spot with backyard telescopes, to help them accurately point LORRI at the storm. These are among a handful of Jupiter system images already returned by New Horizons during its close approach to Jupiter. Most of the data being gathered by the spacecraft are stored onboard and will be downlinked to Earth during March and April 2007.

Dear aficionados of the extraordinary, after six years looking for an appropriate Sikhote upgrade for our collection we finally succeeded to acquire an exquisite 3.7kg individual. Every rose has its thorn which is in this case that we will have to part with one of our centerpieces to refinance the deal - at least partly. Up for sale is a 1.345 kg Sikhote Alin individual with the most distinct regmaglypts, pristine dull black wuestite-magnetite oxide fusion crust and a stunning array of flow lines all over the specimen. The meteorite was chosen to illustrate the article on meteorites in the German Wikipedia and has been published on numerous websites covering the subject. As we truly prefer the meteorite to stay within “the family” we take the chance to offer it here on the list first, although this dramatic specimen might fetch a considerably higher price on ebay. Any offer approaching 1600 USD will be considered, the first offer above this amount will be accepted. Insured airmail shipping to the US is included. Please ask for a photographic walk around the meteorite off list if interest. We will gladly provide photos and description.

All he has is a bunch of worthless volcanic basalt. A third grade kid can see the difference but he will not listen to the highly educated people on this list who have spent their lives studying meteoritics. Some people see this as entertainment, it makes me sick. This person is a delusional paranoid psychotic and should be left alone and hopefully, hopefully he will go away. Venus meteorites!

If Randall is only open for discussion about the crater and the find after scientific studies have been completed what was the point of mentioning it now prior to the studies being completed? What is the point of the rambling about the laws and filed paperwork, ect.? What is up with throwing in the fear factors about what could happen to a person if they did this or that? If Randall was concerned about someone horning in on his find and ransacking the crater why didn't he just remained tight lipped about the find like others have done?

Erfoud Morocco Find : october of 2006 Major classification (group) Achondrite (Lunar monzogabbro) History: two pieces bought from nomads in Erfoud (Morocco). Physical characteristics: One stone broken in two pieces 68 and 409g. Dull black fusion crust on one side, weathered on the other side. It is a gray, coarse grained, pristine magmatic rock consisting of millimetric phenocrysts mainly of pyroxene and plagioclase. Petrography: A. Jambon, O. Boudouma and D. Badia. UPVI . The texture is best described as shergottitic like . Pyroxene are highly fractured while plagioclase laths, partly transformed to maskelynite, are only affected by a small number of fractures. Silica and silica-feldspar glass are minor components. A few impact melt patches underline the similarity with shergottites further. Ilmenite, baddeleyite, zirconolite, tranquilityite, pyrrhotite and metal. Fayalite associated with silica probably results from the dissociation of iron rich pyroxene. Minor terrestrial alteration. Mode (vol %): Cpx 50, Plagioclase + Kspar 32, silica + glass 7.5, opaques (ilmenite, Ti-magnetite, pyrrhotite) + fayalite 7, voids + fractures 3. Geochemistry: Mineralogy by EMP and SEM.(Trace and major element analyses ICP-MS, J-A Barrat UBO). Pyroxene exhibit a complex zoning from En65Fs21Wo13 to En2Fs83Wo15 with a FeO/MnO of 78 on the average. A few compositions correspond to pyroxferroite. Plagioclase is normally zoned from An 91 to An 75 with a sharp rim. Average composition An 89. Fayalite (Fo 80 to 95). Chondrite normalized REE pattern with an enrichment of 53 (La) to 40 (Yb). Trace element pattern with negative anomalies of Sr and Eu. Interstitial glass high in silica (75%) containing microcrysts of K feldspar with a significant celsian component. The chemistry, major and trace elements, but not the texture, is identical to NWA 032-479-773 and LAP 02205-02224-02226-02234-02436-03632.The absence of olivine and the relative abundance of silica in NWA 4683 are the main differences beside the grain size and the slightly different composition of the major phases. Classification: According to the grain size, the texture, the plagioclase composition, the core composition of pyroxenes, the FeO/MnO ratio in pyroxene and the chemical identity with lunar basalts, it is classified as a highly shocked lunar monzogabbro.

Re: [meteorite-list] Censorship on Meteorite Central? Post not going through.
Greetings Randal,
I cannot be sure how to respond to someone who's logic is to
state he suspects the list has restricted his response - since I am
reading his response on the list.
(This is major brake with rationality #1)
I, personally, did not read all the back forth posts to which
you refer, as so many like me pick and choose which threads to follow.
I consider myself both limited in insight, therefore, while, at the same
time free of any biases as I read your post.
You next attack Mike Farmer for dropping out of college because
he was making so much money Gee, Mr. Gregory - while I certainly
do consider a college education well worth having to provide one with
a broader perception and appreciation of the world, history, other cultures,
etc. it is not the be all and end all. As Bob Dylan said, much which is
learned is useless and senseless knowledge (I would add that a great
deal goes into understanding the difference between wisdom vs knowledge,
but no one can debate the fact that college does not provide one with
wisdom, only knowledge). Furthermore, sad to say, but the truth is that
the vast majority of people attend college for the nearly exclusive purpose
of earning more money. Second most popular motivation is to provide one
with the option of pursuing an interesting and meaningful career.
Therefore, to attack MF for leaving college to pursue his passion (which is
obviously financially rewarding) is both irrational AND lacking in
appreciation of living one's life in the way that is most meaningful to that
individual.
(so far, that's zero for two, Mr. Gregory).
Now, as to MF's character well, that doesn't need expanding
upon. Mike frequently expresses himself in a way that, as he says, indicates
he is in need of increasing his meds.
So, in the end, you appear to be 1 for 3 and that is stating the
obvious. However, I do hope whatever the dispute was about to begin with
was addressed by you in a more rational manor than your latest post,
because, frankly, Mr. Gregory, anyone who STARTS a post ranting about
how they are being persecuted by Meteorite Central via their posts being
censored has pretty much painted themselves into a corner of near zero
credibility before they have gotten started.
Sincerely, Michael Blood (PS: I occasionally get ticked off at MF,
myself, as, like all of us, he is less than perfect {he just expresses his
imperfection more loudly and aggressively than most of us})

why? Below is the post I tried to send. It is not an abusive post and I
refrained from name-calling, only facts and personal observations.

Dear List,
Thanks for the support. I can take the heat, but only for so long. My
turn to respond. The fire was quite large and many people so willing to
throw in a log or so. My tongue is sore from repeated biting. lol ;)
Anyway,
I've made a few enemies and some new friends. I treasure opinions and
insights from my friends. Some have given me solid information,
opinions, and good advice. And others well
*The intelligent and level-headed people that have kept up with the thread
saw thru the psychology. The biggest fish to come out of the net was Mike
Farmer. The globe-trotting, aggressive, and very greedy meteorite hunter. He
was the most offended thus, the most potential risk. He'll jump on a plane
at moment's notice to anywhere in the world where he thinks he can make a
profit. He's been to Atacama , Chile and he knows South America* . He's
always hawking and looking for opportunities.
Anyone that threatens to have me killed, calls me a friggin idiot and jerk,
says everything I've done is a scam, said the crater was a volcano cone, and
started a link with the subject: Peruvian nut job , sparked my interest. I
wanted to know what type of person he is and what is his character. I think
my impression is accurate. Here are his comments :
What a frigging idiot this jerk is. WOW, thieves stole lots of $. It
tends to happen, and outside the meteorite world I might ad. This guy is
truly a nutcase. I have seen the photos of his crater. It is not a crater,
there are no meteorites, it is all a scam.
He also said in another forum:
It is NOT meteorite. Most likely a lightning struck something and melted
and scorched some stuff. Again, NO Meteorite fall in Tucson :( *??? Profit
motivation ???*
Mike Farmer
It appears he's so quite to dish it out. But can he take it? *Someone
labeled him a crybaby and he quit the forum because of it!*

[meteorite-list] FW - NEW LUNAR monzogabbro meteorite (Aziz Habibi)
Hi List, Aziz Habibi asked me to forward a email from him to the list, so here it is: dear list, here is the first lunar monzogabbro!!, as you will read in the classification; it's also the first lunar to look like a shergotite. under microscope it's looking exactly like a shergotite from the texture.. with all modesty this is one of the most important planetary meteorite.a very rare classification . enjoy photo in this link and here is the classification done by doctor Albert Jambon from upvi Paris. . yes a lunar with a Martianshergtoite texture. go to this link and click on lunar album nwa 4683. http://photos.yahoo.com/azizhabibi to understand how it's classified as monzogabbro check out this link. http://www.uwgb.edu/DutchS/PETROLGY/classification_of_igneous_rocks.htm. enjoy photo in this link and here is the classification done by doctor Albert Jambon from upvi Paris. there are other album including a new oriented Martian and a very fresh lodranites. all the best, aziz habibi Proposed NameNWA 4683 Geographic Coordinates1 undisclosed. Erfoud Morocco Find : october of 2006 Major classification (group) Achondrite (Lunar monzogabbro) History: two pieces bought from nomads in Erfoud (Morocco). Physical characteristics: One stone broken in two pieces 68 and 409g. Dull black fusion crust on one side, weathered on the other side. It is a gray, coarse grained, pristine magmatic rock consisting of millimetric phenocrysts mainly of pyroxene and plagioclase. Petrography: A. Jambon, O. Boudouma and D. Badia. UPVI . The texture is best described as shergottitic like . Pyroxene are highly fractured while plagioclase laths, partly transformed to maskelynite, are only affected by a small number of fractures. Silica and silica-feldspar glass are minor components. A few impact melt patches underline the similarity with shergottites further. Ilmenite, baddeleyite, zirconolite, tranquilityite, pyrrhotite and metal. Fayalite associated with silica probably results from the dissociation of iron rich pyroxene. Minor terrestrial alteration. Mode (vol %): Cpx 50, Plagioclase + Kspar 32, silica + glass 7.5, opaques (ilmenite, Ti-magnetite, pyrrhotite) + fayalite 7, voids + fractures 3. Geochemistry: Mineralogy by EMP and SEM.(Trace and major element analyses ICP-MS, J-A Barrat UBO). Pyroxene exhibit a complex zoning from En65Fs21Wo13 to En2Fs83Wo15 with a FeO/MnO of 78 on the average. A few compositions correspond to pyroxferroite. Plagioclase is normally zoned from An 91 to An 75 with a sharp rim. Average composition An 89. Fayalite (Fo 80 to 95). Chondrite normalized REE pattern with an enrichment of 53 (La) to 40 (Yb). Trace element pattern with negative anomalies of Sr and Eu. Interstitial glass high in silica (75%) containing microcrysts of K feldspar with a significant celsian component. The chemistry, major and trace elements, but not the texture, is identical to NWA 032-479-773 and LAP 02205-02224-02226-02234-02436-03632.The absence of olivine and the relative abundance of silica in NWA 4683 are the main differences beside the grain size and the slightly different composition of the major phases. Classification: According to the grain size, the texture, the plagioclase composition, the core composition of pyroxenes, the FeO/MnO ratio in pyroxene and the chemical identity with lunar basalts, it is classified as a highly shocked lunar monzogabbro. Type specimens: A total of 20 g of sample and one polished section is on deposit at UPVI.. Aziz H. holds the main mass . MR HABIBI palm's hotel club . www.palmotel.com. email..

[meteorite-list] Which Chondrite Would Make a Good Sphere
For those of you that don't know me, I collect and make Meteorite Spheres, I got hooked last May and have been steadily building my collection. My original goal was to get a sphere that represented each main class of the Irons (Fine, Medium and Coarse) and various Chondrites. So far I have obtained or made the following spheres: Brahin, Gibeon, Campo, Seymchan and NWA 689. I never thought I would get a pallasite sphere but I got lucky. I have a block of Dronino coming and I will use it to make the next sphere in my collection and I also recently purchased a ball Guang Dong Tektite that I'm going to test the sphere making process on, However, it's probably too small to produce a 50mm sphere. If I like the results I will have to locate a bigger sample to make a sphere for my collection. So I'm going to be busy during the month of March, but I'm looking ahead. I would like to make a few spheres out of some chondrite material but I don't know what material to use. I have leads on a whole specimen of NWA 2828 and a nice sized Dimmitt but I'm not fully committed to either of these yet. The NWA 2828 is very interesting but I am concerned that it will look a lot like my NWA 869 sphere. How is that possible you say? I soaked my sphere in phosphoric acid and it removed the weathered look so now it's color consists of various shades of gray with white and tan patches. Greg Hupe was kind enough to send me a slice of NWA 2828 to get a better idea of the color and they each have a specific look but I still think they will be very close in appearance. UNLESS the NWA 2828 gets a lot darker when it's polished. The Dimmitt is very affordable but its a very dark material and I'm not sure if it will make a nice sphere. I have scoured the net but I really haven't found anything that caught my attention. So I thought I would ask the list. My target sphere size is 50mm so the donor specimen will have to be somewhat large. I not made of money so it has to be affordable, I'll save the expensive stuff for later :) If you know if a nice colorful material that you think might make a nice sphere please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Thanks !
Dear List, Finally I'm home! It's been a long Tucson for me, all very enjoyable. Please take a moment to hear me rant -or more appropriately: rave- about the meteorite folks who colored my world in Arizona and beyond. First, in order of meeting, is Jim Kriegh with whom I feel privileged to have shared an unexpected couple hours of fine conversation with and appreciated his suggestions and observations. I am looking forward to the day I can tag along in the field with you, Jim. Shortly later, I met 'Twink' and kind meteorite spouse Larry whose reservoirs of kindness never ran dry in the most challenging situations. I thank my lucky star to have you as friends and frankly couldn't have done anything besides a basic Tucson without your help. I am sure that I am talking for many a meteorhound when I also say the meteorite cake colors golden our Tucson experience like the children looking forward to the Rosca de Reyes (Pan de Reyes: The round glazed candy-fruited sweetbread) in Mexico on Epiphany: http://www.worldonaplate.org/world_on_a_plate/2007/01/rosca_de_reyes.html To The Classic Chladnis, Andi, Stefan, and Martin were the kindest folks, and once wound up and rolling, proved to be a barrel full of meteorites, moons and loons, not to mention knowledge, conversation, food and mead... What a fun gang, and place to escape the high pressure sales joints, thanks friends - I hope you are able to attend next year! Martin, have you yet recovered from the alleged S. American plague? Take two Hasparos and call me in the morning under Appley Bridge and I promise you'll be cured. Next, I met up with Rusty Bill Mason in the rear of Heorot's Hall of Paleoenterologists. Bill has a delightful sense of humor and is always ready to help you recover your irons wherever you might have put them, gratis and with a big smile. What more could one ask of such a experimented practitioner of non-petreous proto-planet preservation? I hope he never closes the gates to huddled meteoritical masses, whether they be immersed in the mainstream or relegated as poor plum puddinged deserted individuals. OK, next in line was the room with the nicest duo that has put up with meteorites all these years. That would be Blaine and his every sympathetic brother Blake Reed, plus the caravan of mirth that you can count on finding there this time including the likes of Blake's attractive and pleasant girlfriend, plus the likes of AL and Mike Mtz who I saw this time there. Thanks for my wonderful wine glass which I am pleased to have cared for all the way home, over a few mountains, valleys, wet lakes, urban forests and numerous army check points. Whenever I am in the presence of the Reed's, truly, I am filled with admiration. Blaine has put up with the ups and downs of the Business like no other, never sacrificing his smile, genuine generosity and helpfulness, and sage advice, such as Always leave something attractive on the table for buyers. Ah ... a phrase so easily said by many but so hard to find when you need it...but friends of Blaine will know exactly what I mean. Rumor was that the IMCA was to have a dinner, so upon the encouragement of several members, I decided to crash the party which was at La Fuente restaurante. Here I was fortunate to meet up with the kind and openly jovial Jensens, cladistic Chladnis', oh lala Anne B., the enchanting Maria Haas and the nice guy (name?) sitting to her right, and Mark Bostick, Greg Hupe and many others further from my seat. That evening for me, though, my heart was won by Maria Haas, as it was the first time I met her in person and realized just how honest and caring of a person she is - always helping others, and as we saw leading an effort to help Walter Branch and family from the meteorite community. Just listening to Maria's caring comments had me realize how lucky I am to be in the same virtual community as she. Good luck Maria in Holbrook I wished ... knowing I would not be able to arrive there and share the hunt until she was about to leave. Speaking of Maria I also met the always pleasant Latin superstore jefe Eduardo a few times who was clearly having a great time. Such a contagious smile! He mentioned he wanted to go to Holbrook so I invited him to come along with me a few days later. He politely declined in favor of holding out until Maria invited him again. It went down something like this: Why would I want to go with you, when I could go with (harps play theme from West Side Story) MARIA. Actually there was a lot of sense to Eduardo's words. I wouldn't want to go with me either - if I could go with Maria. So next time I'll check into the possibility of ditching myself and going with Maria instead. Say it loud Eduardo and there's Music Playing! Hope you enjoyed your royal suites hotel with Jacuzzi and all, btw. Sure beat the crap out of my accommodations but I'm not complaining. Also, thanks for the lessons southern-South American style on the regional

Re: [meteorite-list] Larry's Holbrook Holy Grail Find and BobHaag's Venus Stone
Hello Dave, All, If indeed the Adamana meteorite is the front piece of the Holbrook, and I'm NOT saying it is The idea of a 'front piece' of the Holbrook mass is something that I find completely ridiculous. Stress mechanics alone state that anything at the front of the object would be subjected to much greater stress than the remainder of the stone and would therefore be the first part of the stone to fragment. There's simply no reason whatsoever for the trailing remainder of the meteorite to so violently explode, seeing as it must have been subjected to much lesser forces. If, however, it were simply a small portion of a larger 'main mass' of Holbrook that one hypothesizes must have traveled an additional number of miles past the known termination of the strewnfield, you might have the basis for some sort of multiple-fragmentation, the likes of which has *never* been seen before, with at least two distribution ellipses separated my miles of 'barren' land. I, however, find this about equally unlikely as the previously mentioned possibility, if not more so. then it would have the thickest primary crust out of any other portion of the fall. Why? There's no reason for such a 'front piece,' even supposing it could exist, to not fragment later into multiple pieces just as the remainder of the fall had. In all probability, if such a 'front piece' existed, this would most likely be a portion that broke off of it, and as such, its crust would most likely be the same as the rest of the fall. That said, you do seem to acknowledge the fact that it's crust does, in general, appear to be much more thick/different in appearance than that of Holbrook, to say nothing of the interior... There are pictures of original finds that have chondrules as much as 5-7 mm in diameter. I know. Holbrook has much larger chondrules than that of Adamana, at least as well as can be seen on the broken surfaces. Also, one has to keep in mind that it was found in a horse corral. I'm sure acidic horse urine and different soil conditions could have some kind of effect on it as well...IF it was. Versus sitting in a watershed plain next to an annually torrential wash? Different soil conditions might create a difference in weathering (though if it is, as you say, a mere four miles away, I doubt there would be any difference at all), but horse urine effects would be negligible at best...corrals are used sporadically at best anyways, to say nothing of the fact that annual rainfall. In fact, while the horse urine would be acidic, it would take rain/moisture to disassociate the ions in order to actually create any acidic effects - and as we all know, when it rains in Az, it pours...and would wash all of the acid downriver and out of the soil anyways. I'm just saying that I for one, am not quite ready to throw the half-baked theory in the trashyet. Eh, I grant you that there's a small chance Adamana's a part of Holbrook...in my opinion, very, very small. Actually, the Adamana Meteorite was found 11 miles from Arntz (aka Aztec). Not quite all the way to Adamana which is 13 miles as the meteor flies. (I did some remeasuring). And, if the Goodwater theory is correct, then you are only talking about 4 miles. According to the July 26, 1912 article on the Holbrook Argus: There was a heavy explosion similar to that of a heavy blast followed by a fuscillade of smaller explosions which terminated in a thunder-like rumble of approximately two minutes in duration. In Warren Foote's Preliminary Notes of the July 19, 1912 Meteoric Fall at Aztec, Arizona, he writes: It was heard in Concho, St. Joseph, Woodruff, and Pinedale, some 40 miles away. One large explosion was quickly followed by several small ones in rapid succession. Firstly, the strewnfield has varying descriptions in almost every paper that I've seen. I just read a paper in which Kring stated that the strewnfield was ~1.5 sq. miles, a writeup by the DeLanges that states that it was ~1 by ~1/2 miles. I'm looking into Farrington - a little hard for me while I'm at school ;) Now it's more like 3 miles long by 1 mile wide and growing. Even Warren Foote mentions this dimension in 1912. Again, conflicting reports...though by now, erosion could have made the field that large even if it hadn't been as big to start out with...that would explain the 'growing' aspect of it I guess. In any case, I cannot consider myself a judge, seeing as I was not there at the time of the fall, as were several well regarded scientific figures, who gave conflicting reports. HmmmI've never heard that before. I'd like to know where you read/heard that information as that is interesting to me. According to Foote: The large and small stones, according to all answers received, were said to be indiscriminately spread over the ground, without regard to size. The violent disruptions near Holbrook might account for the lack of such a separation If, as you say, there truly was

[meteorite-list] Indiana Students Learn Meteor 'Rights' and Meteor 'Wrongs'
http://media.www.indianastatesman.com/media/storage/paper929/news/2007/02/28/Campus/Students.Learn.Meteor.rights.And.Meteor.wrongs-2747211.shtml Students learn meteor 'rights' and meteor 'wrongs' By Evan Miller Indiana Stateman February 28, 2007 Before the launch of Sputnik in 1957, scientists had to rely on the poor man's space probe to gather information about conditions in outer space. Humans have observed these space probes, better known as meteorites, since ancient times. Indiana is no exception. Meteorites have been recovered everywhere from LaPorte to Harrison County. Until just a few years ago, we had no samples of anything outside the earth other than meteorites, said Nelson R. Shaffer Ph.D. Shaffer, of the Indiana Geological Survey, came to ISU Monday to explain these meteorites and their effects on the planet. The event, which was sponsored by the Department of Geology, Geography, and Anthropology, examined meteorites in Indiana. People continued to gather around the door to get a closer look at his display cases and slides of meteorites. He presented pictures of several different meteorite types, as well as a map of those recovered in Indiana. Shaffer explained what to look for to identify a meteorite. Look for a thin dark coating. It can be glassy or dull, he said. They're usually heavy because they're made of metal. Shaffer is the Section Head of Coal and Industrial Minerals with the Indiana Geological Survey and is an expert in mineralogy and meteorites. He stated that of the 1,000 or so documented meteorite falls, more than 90 percent are stones while 5-6 percent are iron. We get a lot of meteor-wrongs as well, he joked. Many people bring in strange rocks that they think may be meteorites in hopes of striking it rich. Meteorite burglary is a lucrative crime with some meteorites selling for millions of dollars, Shaffer said. Shaffer also explained several incidents of meteorites hitting cars, houses and even people. He brought handouts describing all 11 of the meteorite falls or finds in Indiana. A person might witness a meteorite fall, but meteorite finds are found by accident much later. Shaffer even displayed a tiny piece of Mars in his collection of space debris. I just like meteorites he said, with a smile. Shaffer stayed long after the presentation was over to answer questions from curious students and to display his collection.

Re: [meteorite-list] NEW LUNAR monzogabbro meteorite looks like a Shergottite
I am not going to claim any authority in the area of
geology but I will claim a good experience of
Anorthosite, a principle constituent of the lunar
surface. The Isle of Harris, the next island down from
me [is actually connected to my island, Lewis, by a
land bridge] has an entire mountain made from the
stuff, despite it's rare nature and I've collected
plenty of it to decorate my garden.
It weathers by ice and abrasion to the same gorgeous
white colour of the genesis rock brought back by the
Apollo 15 crew. This is not surprising since their
rock was weathered on the outside too, but that stone
was impact weathered only.
Inside the rocks from harris they are remarkably
crystaline, quite grey in appearance and U took the
liberty of borrowing a lathe[?] to polish a small
section of a chunk i rather brutally chipped off with
a chisel. Apart from the colour, it looks very like a
piece of SAU008/005, a shergottite.
In all honesty and with hindsight, it does not
surprise me that a lunar meteorite may well look like
a martian one.
Anorthosite I believe, is a plutonic rock and since
most of the white part of the moon is made from it,
the only surpise to me, after thinking about it, is
that one that looks like a shergottite has not been
discovered before.
I suggest that aeons of impacts on the moon do not
leave big enough chunks near the surface to preserve
the structure of the rock and that is why we haven't
seen one before. Having said that, we've only really
been looking for a few years.
Meteorites have, at least the potential to come from
deeper than the long weathered surface materials
brought back by the Apollo crews. This all makes sense
to me, if it is a confirmed discovery.
In a differentiated body the size of the moon and
mars, I think, in retrospect, we should not be
surprised at all.
Obviously, if this turns out to be a hoax, I absolve
myself of all I have said here on the grounds that I
have never heard of monzogabbro before. Gabbro is just
a feldspar with less than 60% or is it 40%[?]

History: two pieces bought from nomads in Erfoud
(Morocco).
Physical characteristics: One stone broken in two
pieces 68 and 409g. Dull black fusion crust on one
side, weathered on the other side. It is a gray,
coarse grained, pristine magmatic rock consisting of
millimetric phenocrysts mainly of pyroxene and

Petrography: A. Jambon, O. Boudouma and D. Badia.
UPVI .
The texture is best described as shergottitic like .
Pyroxene are highly fractured while plagioclase
laths, partly transformed to maskelynite, are only
affected by a small number of fractures. Silica and
silica-feldspar glass are minor components. A few
impact melt patches underline the similarity with
shergottites further. Ilmenite, baddeleyite,
zirconolite, tranquilityite, pyrrhotite and metal.
Fayalite associated with silica probably results
from the dissociation of iron rich pyroxene. Minor
terrestrial alteration.
Mode (vol %): Cpx 50, Plagioclase + Kspar 32,
silica + glass 7.5, opaques (ilmenite, Ti-magnetite,
pyrrhotite) + fayalite 7, voids + fractures 3.
Geochemistry: Mineralogy by EMP and SEM.(Trace and
major element analyses ICP-MS, J-A Barrat UBO).
Pyroxene exhibit a complex zoning from En65Fs21Wo13
to En2Fs83Wo15 with a FeO/MnO of 78 on the average.
A few compositions correspond to pyroxferroite.
Plagioclase is normally zoned from An 91 to An 75

Re: [meteorite-list] do meteorites fluoresce??
Hello Tom, List, In the for what its worth category, the degree of fluorescence in feldspar chondrules is the means for defining the intermediate grades within the 3 grades,( e.g 3.1, 3.2 , etc.) I don't know what wavelength is the standard for that examination. If you've the fluorscent microscope and knowing those standards you might be able to observe this in common chondrite thin sections but I think it would be in some form we wouldn't easily recognize. A coverslip would of course block UV, but uncovered slides attract lint which glows brightly. That said, my experience is the same as Tom's. I've desperately and extensively looked for any SW/MW/LW response to a standard mineral UV lamp and have yet to find even a hint of fluorscence. What I know about exciter ions suggest that what ever flourscence may be, it will not be visible to the naked eye.

Re: [meteorite-list] NEW LUNAR monzogabbro meteorite looks like aShergottite
Oh yeah...Not a particulary remarkable entry at that.
Since gabbro has been found in lunar meteorites, it's
not particularly surprising this stuff is either.
Atrange group the feldspars. So many names based on
how much anorthosite is in them as a proportion to
secondary minerals. Yipe. I'm glad I'm not a

Dear Listees: Happy Birthday Parnallee! 150 years old today. LL3.6 Fell February 28, 1857 Madura, India Wow, look at those chondrules: http://www.aerolite.org/parnallee.htm My girlfriend, the lovely Cindy Sue, whom many of you know from the Tucson show, is also celebrating a big one today, but my Dad once told me it wasn't polite to mention a lady's age. She's very pretty as well, and has NO chondrules at all : ) Cheers to all from old Tucson, Geoff N. www.aerolite.org Official supplier of Steve Arnold Brenham meteorites http://www.aerolite.org/brenham.htm __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Geologists Find Meteorite on Panama Beach
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-03/01/content_5786159.htm Geologists find meteorite on Panama beach China View February 28, 2007 PANAMA CITY (Xinhua) -- Panamanian geologists have found an meteorite at Rio Hato, a coastal town west of the capital Panama City. The meteorite fell onto Rio Hato's beach last Friday, geologist Juan de Dios Villa told the press on Wednesday. The landing was witnessed by a security guard, who described it as a ball of fire crashing down from the sky onto the sand. The 4.2 kg red object, measuring 20 cm in diameter, will be X-rayed for more details, said Villa, chief geologist at the National Mineral Resources Directorate. The meteorite shows burn marks on its exterior, and appears to be mainly carbon-based, in contrast to most meteorites, which mainly contain iron. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Listoids, I am rather pleased tonight as I sit here in snowy Colorado. I have in my hands a rock that I first saw streaking across the night sky glowing brighter than the Sun. My wife and I were returning from a friends birthday party after midnight some nine years ago when we saw a fireball streak low across the southern sky. We spent several days the next years searching for this meteorite we were sure must be waiting for us. Two years after the fireball a five year old boy found the first piece and the main mass of the Elbert meteorite. I am fortunate to have obtained a piece of this LL6 fall. I am wondering how many of you have a meteorite that you saw flying through the sky. I know I feel unbelievably fortunate to have such a piece.
