Re: [meteorite-list] New Toluca scam on ebay
Hello Michael, I agree with you. Pieces of Magnetite/Hematite are the most often offered meteoritewrongs sold to newcomers. Because I'm a beginner to I've bought even from two IMCA members two pieces of 'Mekong river iron' as Nantans. Month later I detected that they were wrongs. Asking for money back makes them very angry but I won. The easiest formula for detecting offers of iron wrongs is to estimate the specific density. Most seller declare length, depth and hight anf weight of the item. Calculate now V = (L x D x H x Pi / 6). This is the nearest estimated volume of an inlet speroid, that means a little more less in volume. Divide now the given weight by this value and you get a specifiv density which is hiigher then the original. If this value is less than 7.5 this must be a meteoritewrong if is a big piece ore it is only shale if it is a small piece. With this formula I'm hunting fake sellers on ebay.

Re: [meteorite-list] William Barriere - Youth of Canada be warned!
Interesting, in which way? Seems someone in the Chicago Field hasn't made his homework. Chicago has such an important collection only, because they bought as start all specimens, which the mightiest meteorite dealer in USA of his times brought to the Columbian exhibition in 1893. Henry Ward, was his name. In 1912 Chicago Field outbid the Smithonian and AMNH in New York, and purchased dealer Ward's collection from his widow for inflation-adjusted 1.8 million USD. And of course in the following decades they enlarged the collection also in buying from dealers too. At least they aren't as rotten as docteure Julia in the comic strip, wangling innocent children out of their finds - cause I read, the Chicago Field bought 2.7kg of Park Forest, paying to the finders 30k$. Didn't follow that story, but wasn't that T-Rex, the main exhibit, which the Field museum bought for 8 million or so, recovered by a dealers company too? And Dinos are a much more sensible complex than meteorites. Well and the famous instrument collection from the Adler Planetarium, certainly items of a cultural heritage according the modern conception, hence much more problematic than stones from space, Max Adler bought naturally from a dealer, Anton Mensing. It is and it always was the practise of all museums no matter which field of collection they plough to amass their collections by donations, direct or monetary ones, and by purchases from dealers. So I'm asking, this dealer bashing and the call for - in the end one might call it in extreme expropriation of owners or finders or dealers - a relatively problematic intervention in the personal basic rights at least in states under the rule of laws - is this meanwhile commonplace or the opinion of a very few, whatever their intention may be?

[meteorite-list] Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites - Two Thumbs Up!
Dear Listees: Greetings all. I know Richard Norton and Lawrence Chitwood's new book Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites has already been discussed here, but I just received my copy -- mine is signed, aren't you jealous : ) -- and it's such a terrific work I wanted to comment personally. This beautifully produced 288-page full color book is an absolute must for all meteorite enthusiasts, and completes a great trilogy on our favorite subject, alongside the Nortons' other two essential works: Rocks from Space, and The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites. Congratulations to Richard, and the late Lawrence Chitwood, and also to M-List member Dorothy Norton who was very involved with the work herself, contributing excellent scientific illustrations throughout, as well as editing and research. Dorothy just told me this morning that the initial printing has already sold out (!) so if you need a first edition snap it up quick wherever you can find it. On a personal note, I was thrilled by the invitation to contribute, in a very small way, to this important work by supplying meteorite photographs of specimens from the Oscar Monnig Collection, The Michael Farmer Meteorites Collection, and the Aerolite Meteorites Collection. Several other List members also contributed photos, and you'll enjoy seeing a number of familiar meteorite hunters faces in the In The Field chapter. Special thanks to my pal Sonny Clary who took a stellar photo of Steve Arnold #1 and myself at Brenham, which was also included in the book. If you haven't seen the Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites yet, order it ASAP. A real beauty!

Re: [meteorite-list] Problem With Catalog of Meteorites SoftwareProblem
Sean is right about that file. I had the Catalogue installed on an old Win95 machine and when I tried to install it on a new XP machine a few years later; I ran into the same problem. Being a risk-taker, I ran back over to my '95 machine, copied the file, noted the directory, and stuffed it in the same place in the XP machine, and it worked fine forever after. The Catalogue's Insight Engine will be the only activity on newer machines that ever looks for it or uses it. Sterling K.

With 11 days delivery time from US to Europe via the expedited international shipping option, and no customs tax in my case, this is a very good deal for a book order from the United States. And the price (see above) is almost unbeatable! So folks, what are you waiting for? :-) Alex Berlin/Germany __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] 'Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites' - TwoThumbs Up!
Hi All: As I mentioned previously, we are wanting to get a number of short reviews (one or two paragraphs) from those of you who have the Field Guide and have read it. This is a special book and Richard is a special person to all of us. And, he has been the author of Centerpiece for 10 years! Our deadline for the next issue is August 17. Thanks in advance.

Hello Al and Geoff, and all, I have been trying to get a few cases too. And I finally got a response. It is sold out! And being reprinted. It will be a month, or 2, or... before it is available again. And my copy is signed too! Are you both jealous? ;-) Anne M.

I've tried unsuccessfully to buy copies of it all over the midwest. I've not received an answer yet from the publisher to buy a case or two. So looks like it is fast becoming a hard to find, newly published book. Congratulations to the Nortons on their effort to this wonderful resource. --AL Mitterling Notkin wrote: Dear Listees: Greetings all. I know Richard Norton and Lawrence Chitwood's new book Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites has already been discussed here, but I just received my copy -- mine is signed, aren't you jealous : ) -- and it's such a terrific work I wanted to comment personally. This beautifully produced 288-page full color book is an absolute must for all meteorite enthusiasts, and completes a great trilogy on our favorite subject, alongside the Nortons' other two essential works: Rocks from Space, and The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites. Congratulations to Richard, and the late Lawrence Chitwood, and also to M-List member Dorothy Norton who was very involved with the work herself, contributing excellent scientific illustrations throughout, as well as editing and research. Dorothy just told me this morning that the initial printing has already sold out (!) so if you need a first edition snap it up quick wherever you can find it. On a personal note, I was thrilled by the invitation to contribute, in a very small way, to this important work by supplying meteorite photographs of specimens from the Oscar Monnig Collection, The Michael Farmer Meteorites Collection, and the Aerolite Meteorites Collection. Several other List members also contributed photos, and you'll enjoy seeing a number of familiar meteorite hunters faces in the In The Field chapter. Special thanks to my pal Sonny Clary who took a stellar photo of Steve Arnold #1 and myself at Brenham, which was also included in the book. If you haven't seen the Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites yet, order it ASAP. A real beauty!

Re: [meteorite-list] Problem With Catalog of Meteorites, Software Problem
Yup, the catalogue uses a DLL which was ditched in Xp.

[meteorite-list] AD(?): Gary Foote Recovery Auction
Hello Everyone, I am still waiting for pictures of two items but that's not going to stop me from starting what I'm calling a silent auction. Auctions for nine items will start tonight at 7:00 PM PST and will run for seven days. The balance of the items will start tomorrow at 7:00 PM PST and those auctions will also run for seven days. Ending dates and times for each item can be found on each item's respective page. The auction ending times are staggered by 15 minutes to allow all bids to be recorded prior to the items closing. You'll see what I mean when you visit the website and click on what you want to bid on: http://meteoriteimpact.com/footeauction.htm. Some really spectacular items have been donated: - An original oil on canvas depiction of the Tagish Lake fall by Jerry Armstrong - A serial numbered Nininger/Canyon Diablo coin that is #9 of only 10 that exist - A 167.2 Bassikounou fragment that has beautiful crust and the broken edge shows the fresh interior and two impact melt areas - Two Carancas fragments -- one has a visible clast - A 91.2 gram Vaca Muerta individual - An oriented NWA 869 with frothy bubbles - The World of Metorites from A to Z poster by Sarah Kenndy of Jensen Scientifics and Geoff Notkin - HH's copy of a SCIENCE magazine from 1961 - Bricks from the Nininger Museum - NWA 4766 Mars box made by Chladni's Heirs And there's even more than that! See everything at http://meteoriteimpact.com/footeauction.htm Bid on an item by email to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or by telephone to (928) 567-6558. All bids will be recorded in the order in which I receive them. Telephone bids take priority over email bids so if you think there's a chance your email bid won't make it to me by the close of the auction please call me. Let's not forget why we're doing this. The purpose of this auction is to raise money for our meteorite friends, Gary and C.J. Foote. Gary was diagnosed with advanced-stage prostate cancer earlier this year. He had a prostatectomy in April and has had several complications and an additional surgery since then. Their family needs help to make it through this incredibly hard time so please give generously by bidding on the items in our auction. This is one time where anything you do, no matter how small, will help them. Hopefully, all of your questions will be answered on the website but if you have any others, please don't hesitate to contact me. The website will be updated with the high bids by 7:00 pm PST each day the auction is running at http://meteoriteimpact.com/Highbids.htm. Pleasant and respectful bidders only, please.
