Hi,

Addresing not Aubrey, but his informant... Why is this
so familiar? Is there a Mystery Object Protocol that demands
that things be presented obliquely, incompletely, and
confusingly?

So, they have been analysed for bulk composition, then?

Calcium is high. How high? Provide percentages, please.

They don't show "substantial" silica? How much silica?

NUMBERS, please.

In fact, how about the entire bulk composition results?

What is their chief constituent?

If they're "glass" as claimed, they must contain a more than
measurable amount of silicon dioxide. That's what glass is. If
they're tektites, it is inconceivable that they would be silica-free.

The only thing that's beyond my "powers of human
understanding" is what he thinks he's doing with this idiotic
babble about dataless compositions and vague mysticism.
Does he have data or not?

Sounds like a complete flake. I suppose another source can
be added to the list of possible origins: a night in the lab with
bunsen and pipette and some nice glass stock.

Shame. If they were real and from the beginning of the
Eocene (55 mya) instead of the end of the Eocene (35 mya),
they might be evidence from an enigmatic event:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene-Eocene_Thermal_Maximum

Aubrey, why don't you ask him if he actually has any real
data, how he got it (who did the tests), and such like questions,
as, would he show it to you or let you put it on your website?

And, finally, despite the visual resemblance to microtektites,
there is one other substance which these objects could be:
Amber. Amber was formed largely 50+ mya, is often found in
early Eocene deposits, is suitably durable, is extensively transported
by water, assumes fluid forms, and so forth. Amber can absorb
considerable calcium (buried with bird bones you said). If the
chief element of its composition is Carbon, you might have amber...

Hi

Michael Daniels, who discovered the London Clay tektites has recently 
emailed me a little more information, which I'd like to pass on:

When it comes to your correspondent's doubts, which they are fully entitled 
to submit,
particularly suspicions raised about the possibility of contaminates, 
origins connected
with fly-ash and power stations, volcanics, yes, they are all familiar 
observations con-
cerning the particles.

And, as before, I just make the suggestion that for those more doubtful, 
they come down
here and I will gladly conduct them to the Naze when I shall be more than 
appreciative to
hear their explanations as to where I may have, in my enthusiasm, become a 
little
adventurous in my concept and having unquestioning belief in the antiquity 
of the little
glassy objects.  That might be for me an acid test, but actually I think 
when they have
better appreciation of the conditions prevailing at this lower London Clay 
locality, I think I
can win over a few potential critics.

Just to deal with a couple of questions raised by those who have written.

I have today once more checked the particles and none show any magnetic 
properties.
Some do have voids and there is a little evidence of impurities, but if that 
is confirmed
then just might be tiny specs of dirt or plant debris.

As for their pristine state, no sign of them suffering any ablation.  Many 
of the fossil bird
bones that I have collected from the Walton site are in such a remarkable 
condition
that I have had to be careful when comparing them with modern avian 
elements, so
perfect are they that confusion over which is which could arise.  This is 
because once
the relics came to rest on the sea bed and were fast covered with sediment, 
there they
remained down 55 (not 35!) million years until they were caused to emerge 
when I dug
up the pocket, composed mainly of plant material, in which they were lodged 
and so
reveal them once more to the light of day!

The tektites have a high Ca content and this factor through those who expect 
them to
show substantial silica in their make up.  But the people that found 
difficulty with such
a composition, in my view, simply had an inability in grasp that some things 
in heaven
and earth are literally beyond the powers of human understanding.

Have a pleasant weekend

I'm wondering-- do all tektites protect the aura against negative alien

the layering planes are more or less parallel to Top

Michael and List Members,
  Norm is correct; your tektite is a Muong Nong type
tektite (layered tektite) and not a splashform
Indochinite.  It could be from Laos or China. The
largest Muong Nong is perhaps one in Bangkok,
weighing-in at 28Kgs.

[meteorite-list] Quebec Crater Is Out Of This World (Pingualuit Crater)

2007-05-25 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20070525.CLIMATE25/TPStory/Environment


Quebec crater is out of this world

Revered by local Inuit for its clear waters, scientists hope to
unlock 120,000 years of secrets about climate change

INGRID PERITZ
The Globe and Mail (Canada)
May 25, 2007

MONTREAL -- A massive crater in Northern Quebec has been luring the
curious for over 50 years. Diamond prospectors, Second World War pilots
and National Geographic all made pilgrimages to the distant natural wonder.

Now, an international team led by Laval University in Quebec City has
journeyed to the Pingualuit Crater near the Hudson Strait in hopes of
unlocking 120,000 years worth of secrets about climate change.

The four-country expedition has just returned with sediments from the
crater, formed 1.3 million years ago when a meteorite crashed to Earth
with 8,500 times the force of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

"This is like a natural archive of climatic and environmental change,"
said lead researcher Reinhard Pienitz, a Laval University geography
professor.

Prof. Pienitz is the latest in a string of scientists and adventurers
drawn to the haunting formation, described by a Globe and Mail
correspondent on a 1950 expedition as the eighth wonder of the world.

Largely unknown to the outside world, the lake-filled crater had long
been revered by local Inuit and known locally as the Crystal Eye of
Nunavik for its limpid waters. Second World War pilots used the
perfectly circular landmark as a navigational tool during reconnaissance
missions.

Their observations spurred expeditions sponsored by the Royal Ontario
Museum and later the National Geographic Society, whose 1952 magazine
featured at story entitled, "Solving the Riddle of Chubb Crater." The
article's title referred to pioneering Ontario prospector Fred Chubb,
who initially believed the crater could be a source of diamonds.

The crater was later renamed New Quebec Crater and, finally, Pingualuit
Crater.

The crater is considered a scientific treasure trove because it's one of
the deepest lakes in North America, fed almost exclusively by the skies
above.

"It's like a huge rainwater collector set out in the tundra, catching
rainwater for 1.3 million years," said Prof. Pienitz, whose expedition
was funded by the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric
Sciences. "This lake is really special."

Working with Inuit from the nearby community of Kangiqsujuaq, Prof.
Pienitz's team travelled in freezing temperatures by snowmobile to the
edge of the crater rim. They then slid down the rim and trekked to the
centre of its ice-covered surface. They travelled on foot because the
crater, located in a new provincial park, is subject to stringent
conditions that ban fuel-powered vehicles.

The team then drilled a hole through the ice to open a window into
natural history.

Lowering their equipment through the ice, scientists reached into the
extreme depths of the lake bottom to extract a nine-metre sediment core.
A scientific time capsule, it's filled with fossils of pollen, algae and
tiny insect larvae that researchers hope will yield clues about climate
change dating to the last interglacial period 120,000 years ago.

"These fossils will tell us the story about the past environment," Prof.
Pienitz said. "We can learn about the fragility of the climate system,
and how it responds to external forces."

Until now, most clues about Earth's climatic past have come from the
ocean floor or from ice cores from Greenland and the Antarctic. The
crater sediment provides another piece of the puzzle. Ultimately,
scientists hope the various clues will help shed light on current
climate change.

"To read the past," Prof. Pienitz said, "makes it much easier to read
the future."

Pingualuit Crater

The crater, largely unknown outside Canada, was formed by a meteorite
1.3 million years ago.

Diameter: 3,44 km

Depth (total): 400 m

Depth (lake): 267 m

Hi all,

I am offering the largest sale I have ever offered.
There are two categories of meteorites (3, actually)
as follows:

Historic falls - ALL are hammers (they nailed something -
ie mail box maulers, fence bashers, roof busters, house
smashers, car crashers, etc.) These are offered at 10 to 33%
off. 

Then there are 3 Martian types and 3 Lunar types, most of
which are cut very thinly to amazingly thinly (ie: .8mm)

So, anyone interested - or just interested in seeing the photos,
if you haven't already received my Prepost Meteorite Sale list,
email me and I will email you the list and photo links.

Best wishes, Michael

  can win over a few potential critics.
   
  Just to deal with a couple of questions raised by those who have written.
   
  I have today once more checked the particles and none show any magnetic 
properties.
  Some do have voids and there is a little evidence of impurities, but if that 
is confirmed
  then just might be tiny specs of dirt or plant debris. 
   
  As for their pristine state, no sign of them suffering any ablation.  Many of 
the fossil bird 
  bones that I have collected from the Walton site are in such a remarkable 
condition
  that I have had to be careful when comparing them with modern avian elements, 
so
  perfect are they that confusion over which is which could arise.  This is 
because once
  the relics came to rest on the sea bed and were fast covered with sediment, 
there they 
  remained down 55 (not 35!) million years until they were caused to emerge 
when I dug 
  up the pocket, composed mainly of plant material, in which they were lodged 
and so 
  reveal them once more to the light of day!
   
  The tektites have a high Ca content and this factor through those who expect 
them to
  show substantial silica in their make up.  But the people that found 
difficulty with such 
  a composition, in my view, simply had an inability in grasp that some things 
in heaven 
  and earth are literally beyond the powers of human understanding.
   
  Have a pleasant weekend
   
  Sincerely
   
  Michael

Hello all

I am presently willing to entertain reasonable offers on this enviable house 
smasher...and the house it rode in on.


To my knowledge this is the most comprehensive meteorite + house artifact 
kit ever made available or ever seen in the same place at the same time.


Worthy of any museum and the centerpiece of any private collection, have a

[meteorite-list] AD: 50 NWAs ENDING ON EBAY SOON - Many Still at a Penny

I have about 50 NWAs ending on ebay in about two hours
time. Many still at a penny.
See me ebay user id AMUNRE

One highlight is a particularly colorful CV3 in lot
#190114662179.  I am not sure why this, one of the
nicest carbonaceous meteorites there is sells for
under $10 a gram. Seems to me to be one of the worlds
most undervalued meteorites. Even Allende with over
100 times more sells for more.
This will likely be my last ebay sale before ensisheim

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update - May 24, 2007

2007-05-25 Thread Ron Baalke

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html

SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Continues Soil Analysis - sol 1193-1199, May 24, 2007:

Spirit is healthy and spent the last week studying light and dark soil
in and around the rover's tracks between "Home Plate" and "Mitcheltree
Ridge." Spirit collected additional soil data, including about 24 hours
of data using the alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer and 70 hours of data
using the Moessbauer spectrometer. The primary soil targets examined
during the week are known as "Kenosha Comets" and "Lefty Ganote."

Sol-by-sol summary:

In addition to daily observations of atmospheric dust levels using the
panoramic camera and surveys of the sky and ground using the miniature
thermal emission spectrometer, Spirit completed the following activities:

Sol 1193 (May 12, 2007): Spirit acquired alpha-particle X-ray
spectrometer data from Kenosha Comets, miniature thermal emission
spectrometer data from a target called "Alice Blaski," and panoramic
camera images of Alice Blaski and another target known as "Mantalia."
Following those tasks, Spirit napped until 11 p.m. local Mars time.
Spirit then conducted a 12-hour analysis of Kenosha Comets using the
alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer.

Sol 1194: Spirit started the day with acquisition of full-color images
of light-colored tracks using all 13 filters of the panoramic camera.
The rover acquired thumbnail images of the sky with the panoramic
camera. Spirit replaced the alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer with the
Moessbauer spectrometer and acquired 23.3 hours of Moessbauer data from
Kenosha Comets. The rover studied a target known as "Palthon" using the
miniature thermal emission spectrometer and took thumbnail images of the
Martian sky with the panoramic camera.

Sol 1195: Spirit acquired another 23.3 hours worth of Moessbauer data
from Kenosha Comets as well as a movie in search of dust devils using
the navigation camera. The rover studied Mantalia and another target
known as "Orluk" using the miniature thermal emission spectrometer.

Sol 1196: Spirit's first task of the day was to complete a sky survey
using the panoramic camera. The rover stowed the robotic arm, drove
backward 0.85 meters (2.8 feet), and autonomously put the alpha-particle
X-ray spectrometer in position for further studies. Spirit acquired
hazardous avoidance camera images prior to and after stopping and
acquired navigation camera images of the terrain. Starting at 11 p.m.
local Mars time, Spirit conducted an 11-hour study of the Martian
atmosphere using the alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer.

Sol 1197: Spirit began the day by searching the Martian sky for clouds
using the navigation camera and surveying the horizon with the panoramic
camera. Spirit acquired full-color, 13-filter images of "Gertrude Weise
background 3" using the panoramic camera. The rover surveyed Kenosha
Comets and targets known as "Gertrude Weise background 2," "Kay
Blumetta," and Gertrude Weise background 3 using the miniature thermal
emission spectrometer.

Sol 1198: In the morning, Spirit acquired full-color images of Kenosha
Comets using all 13 filters of the panoramic camera. The rover acquired
a 360-degree panorama using the navigation camera. Spirit unstowed the
robotic arm, acquired microscopic images of Lefty Ganote, and placed the
alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer on Lefty Ganote. Spirit surveyed a
target known as "Audrey Wagner," Kenosha Comets, and two targets in the
rover's tracks known as "Tracks No. 1" and "Tracks No. 2" using the
miniature thermal emission spectrometer. The rover completed a sky
survey at low sun with the panoramic camera. After napping, Spirit awoke
at 11 p.m. local Mars time and conducted an overnight study using the
alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer that lasted 11 hours and 52 minutes.

Sol 1199 (May 18, 2007): Plans called for Spirit to begin the day with a
search for dust devils using the navigation camera and a survey of a
target called "Margaret Jones" using the miniature thermal emission
spectrometer. After that, the rover was to place the Moessbauer
spectrometer on Lefty Ganote and conduct a 23 1/4 - hour analysis,
acquire full-color images of targets called "Ethel Boyce" and "Joanne
Weaver" using all 13 filters of the panoramic camera, and conduct
another search for dust devils the following morning by collecting movie
frames with the navigation camera.

Odometry:

As of sol 1198 (May 17, 2007), Spirit's total odometry was 7,109.47
meters (4.42 miles).



OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Opportunity Turns Up the Amps - sol 1164-1170, 
May 24, 2007:

Opportunity's electrical supply returned to levels not seen since the
rover first arrived on Mars. Peak electrical current from the rover's
solar arrays climbed above 4.0 amps and remained there for most of the
week as a result of three recent dust-cleaning events. The last time
electrical current reached similar levels was on sol 18 (Feb. 10, 2004

  Not only is Darryl an early skeptic, but also Mike
Farmer immediately posted an objection. A lot of
experienced collectors/hunters felt the same.
  So what is this really and where did it come from?
There is an old saying which may relate profoundly  to

  I'm glad this object is off topic now.
