Re: [meteorite-list] Rosetta Stone Analogy
Hi Peter and List, First, I do know why there is a problem here at all. The stone in questions is different from the rest of the Dhofar 908 stones as Norbert already pointed out. I made it clear it was part of the Dhofar pairing series from the beginning but, none the less, a very special stone. Second, The practice of nicknaming stones dates back to the time of when they were first being collected. Museums engage in this practice, scientists nicknamed every rock they studied on Mars and I have heard them in the lab using choice nicknames for meteorites after working on them. Twisted Sister, Tooth Stone and That Damn Crazy Stone all come to mind. Everybody knows the Garza Stone is part of the Park Forest fall but its special history separates it from the rest. The press only references it as the Garza Stone and that is how it is known. Should it just be called Park Forest when it has such a special and rich history? I think nicknames add to the historical and scientific significance of particular pieces and this age old tradition should continue but just like anything else, there is room for abuse. The Rosetta Stone Analogy and nickname are perfectly fine when describing this fantastic stone. You pointed out that scientists referred to SAH99555 as a Rosetta Stone. I don't hear anybody crying about this questionable abuse? Maybe, because it is a perfectly acceptable practice used for centuries.

Re: [meteorite-list] Rosetta Stone Analogy
Hallo Adam, thank you FYI...as I said before, I have nothing against these nicknames. I finally found some very good info on David's excellent site: http://www.meteoritestudies.com/protected_DHOF908.HTM It says that Dho 908 has - unlike most other stones that are paired with Dho 908 - not only one or two but three different lithologies, which means that Dho 908 comes from the Basle part of a bigger stone. Basle (or Basel) is a (Swiss) town where the borders of Switzerland, Germany and France meet;-) Best, Peter Adam Hupe wrote: Hi Peter and List, First, I do know why there is a problem here at all.

Re: [meteorite-list] Rosetta Stone Analogy
Hello Peter, To be clear, I added that paragraph yesterday, paraphrased from what Norbert told all of us in his post yesterday, so it contains nothing special or different than what he said. I considered quoting him but decided to use some of my own words in a reworked sentence instead. While I've got the floor, I'd like to thank Norbert for his clear and concise explanation for the Rosetta Stone angle. Norbert is there a photo of a section of the particular 908 stone with all three lithologies available? Your website picture shows two for sure, is there another there?

[meteorite-list] Rosetta in Ensisheim
Hi Dave, Adam, Peter, Norbert, Marcin, list Discussing Rosetta or not Rosetta in 2 weeks from now in Ensisheim is just a great sugestion, Dave! I suggest Norbert brings the best of the best of his DHO 908 representatives. I'll bring my own 2.86 g complete slice that I traded with Norbert in 2003 (80% brown, 20% black lithology). My mostly rewarded trade ever made, for sure! And I note having added his nickname Rosetta Stone in my collection catalog Dave, I am very glad to see you again this year among us! Yes, a mini-beer party can by all means help such a discussion. Norbert should bring his best Rosetta and all its backgrounds, I'll bring my trade, Dave some ideas for debate. Marcin ? You bring (Polish ?) beer ! I am sure Peter is willing to compete with some obscure Swiss lager But never mind, I'll offer the first Meteor round! Would just be wonderful if Adam could make it this year !... Tomorrow, I'll send the latest Ensisheim news. Sorry for my recent silence (was again away for 8 days) but the great news is that our poor old university server was finally disconnected forever and thrown into the garbage can! With the new one (seems to work perfectly) I'll be able to reply many of your recent messages, at least those that did not follow the old server to the very same trash... Zelimir NB: I note that the tkw for Dho 908 was (in 2003) of 245.46 grams (9 stones). Is that still true Norbert ?

That's why I called it a Rosetta stone. Back in 2003 virtually nobody was willing to believe that e.g. Dhofar 489, and Dhofar 305 did belong to one and the same (ancient) fall. That's not the same thing as calling it Donald Duck, it's a linguistic ploy to express something of scientific meaning... Do you think Baker and Bizzaro used their analogy as a marketing ploy, or just because the liked the funny name? BTW, as to my knowledge neither Adam nor I did use the Rosetta stone analogy without making it very clear that we were talking about Dhofar 908, not in general, but in respect to a certain stone/fragment of Dhofar 908, and its special history/properties. And, as for the monetary value of certain specimens: do you think that a specimen of, let's say normal Zagami will demand the same resale price as a specimen with dual lithologies, including the DML (dark mottled lithology) of Zagami? You are correct, the meteorite will stay the same, but I fear you won't get the latter one, cheap. And: if you know of a source who sells dual-lith Zagami at the price of normal Zagami, just give me a call :-) My 3 lithologies, Norbert -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von PolandMET Gesendet: Montag, 4.

[meteorite-list] HiRISE Releases 1, 200 Images, Launches Viewer on Newly Designed Website
HiRISE RELEASES 1,200 IMAGES, LAUNCHES VIEWER ON NEWLY DESIGNED WEBSITE (From Lori Stiles, University Communications, 520-626-4402) - Monday, June 04, 2007 --- Contact information, Web links listed at the end --- Anyone connected by Internet can now see planet Mars better than at any time in history, through the eye of HiRISE, the most powerful camera ever to orbit another planet. A University of Arizona-based team that runs the High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has just released more than 1,200 Mars images to the Planetary Data System, the U.S. space agency's mission data archive. Not only has the team released 1.7 Terabytes of HiRISE data -- the largest single dataset ever delivered to NASA's space mission data library -- but also a user-friendly way for the public to easily see HiRISE images. Thanks to tools available on HiRISE's new Webpage at http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu, any Internet user can quickly pull up and explore the same remarkable images that both thrill and confound scientists. These images must contain hundreds of important discoveries about Mars, HiRISE Principal Investigator Alfred McEwen of UA's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory said. We just need time to realize what they are. The HiRISE camera takes images of 3.5-mile-wide (6 km) swaths as the orbiter flies at about 7,800 mph between 155 and 196 miles (250 to 316 km) above Mars' surface. For at least the next 18 months, HiRISE will collect thousands of color, black-and-white and stereo images of the Martian surface, resolving features as small as 40 inches across, covering about one percent of the planet. The team based at UA's HiRISE Operations Center (HiROC) began releasing selected images on the Internet when science operations began in November 2006. Team members began reprocessing all the images taken up to March 25, 2007, using improved calibration, or image correction techniques, in April. HiRISE BECOMES PDS 'DATA NODE' With the first 1,200 images, HiRISE becomes a Planetary Data System (PDS) data node. The Planetary Data System (PDS) is used by scientists, students, textbook writers and a growing number of others who follow the latest planetary discoveries. NASA started the archive two decades ago when planetary scientists requested a system to keep the expanding volume of data collected from NASA missions in a form accessible at any time in the future, said NASA's R. Stephen Saunders, the PDS program scientist. The PDS is online at http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov As computers evolve and change, we expect to always be able to access the data, a national treasure, Saunders said. A PDS data node is designed to provide access to a particular data set during an active mission, when the data are of greatest interest, Saunders said. Also, NASA wants to draw on the team's expertise to make sure the data are validated, archived and useful for meeting the objectives of the MRO mission, he said. NASA has made a large investment in software and hardware at Mars and at UA, and this is a way to capitalize further on that investment. IAS VIEWER FOR QUICK CLOSE-UPS The newly designed HiRISE Web site at http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu gives general users, as well as scientists, a tool to quickly home in on any location within a single huge HiRISE image, which often will be a gigabyte image measuring 20,000 pixels by 50,000 pixels. The tool, which was developed by ITT-Visual Information Solutions in Boulder, Co., is called the IAS Viewer. Users can download it for free directly from the HiRISE Website. Richard Cooke, president and CEO of ITT Visual Information Systems said, ITT is committed to supporting the space science community with technology and services that advance the pursuit of discovery. Integrating our IAS technologies with the HiRISE project is very exciting for us, as it helps bring space science applications to a wider community of users, including the general public. The advantage to IAS-Viewer technology is that it transmits only the amount of data needed to render that portion of the image displayed on the computer screen. That is, each time a user zooms in on a image, he or she doesn't download a completely new set of pixels. Instead, the user is downloading only the higher resolution parts of the image data, which are added to the image data already downloaded by the viewer. The IAS Viewer ultimately renders the selected part of the image in high resolution by adding more and more pixels. The tool, which also has defense, intelligence and disaster management applications, delivers high quality images regardless of slow or limited network connections. I've run this at home, with my little cable modem, said HiROC Manager Eric Eliason. The tool allows you to zoom in on small pieces of the image quickly, without having to download all of the information in the entire image, which would take
Re: [meteorite-list] Dhofar 908 3-lithology photo
Hi David, and All, Stephan's photo shows another section through the 81 main mass of Dhofar 908, and it's actually one of the very few pieces that has all three major lithologies. The three lithologies are spatially separated in the main mass, with one end consisting mostly of a clast poor, brownish IMB similar to Dhofar 305, while the middle of the stone mainly consists of a clast rich IMB with large anorthositic and other lithic fragments as can be seen in the lower part of my favourite slice, and which is similar to Dhofar 306, and other pairings: http://www.meteoris.de/img/ncc-lun/Dho908-2.54g.JPG The upper, dark part seems to be a more mature regolith breccia, something that is consistent with cosmogenic nuclides studies by Kuni Nishiizumi. Speaking of that, this is a very old meteorite, and only one lunar meteorite has a even higher terrestrial age, Dhofar 025 pairings. According to Kuni Nishiizumi's studies, Dhofar 908 has a terrestrial age of approximately 350,000 years, placing its fall into lower palaeolithic times, and the reign of Homo erectus rather than Homo sapiens. Back to Stephan's slice: it has another special feature to the lower right - that large round redish clast seems to be a troctolite, and it's most similar to large clasts in Dhofar 310. I won't call this a fourth lithology because it's just a clast, but it's rather fascinating, though. Nice! All the best, Norbert -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Hello All, This List is amazing at times.
