[meteorite-list] AD: Holocene start impacts

2008-11-18 Thread E.P. Grondine
Hi all - 

Forwarded from the Cambridge Conference

13) YDB/CLOVIS COMET AT AGU

Dear Benny:

I am writing to share the news about the discovery of billions of diamonds per 
cm3 associated with the proposed Younger Dryas impact event, or Clovis Comet, 
as it is sometimes called. Data on the discovery will be presented on December 
15-16 at the American Geophysical Union's annual Fall Meeting in San Francisco. 
On December 16, there will be 4 talks 
(http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/sessions5?meeting=fm08∂=PP23Dmaxhits=400), and the 
day before, on December 15, there will be 8 poster presentations 
(http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/sessions5?meeting=fm08∂=PP13Cmaxhits=400  - Scroll 
down to PP13C-1469 through 1477). As you and your readers may remember, data on 
about a dozen other lines of impact evidence were presented to AGU at the 
Acapulco Joint Assembly in 2007. Since then, the hypothesis has created 
considerable controversy.

The lead presentation will reveal the discovery of all three diamond allotropes 
(cubic diamond, lonsdaleite, and n-diamond) in the YDB impact layer, dating to 
the Younger Dryas onset at 12.9 ka (as well as the new discovery of lonsdaleite 
and n-diamonds in the KT boundary). The YDB diamonds are distributed broadly 
across N America and NW Europe at 15 sites spanning 9,000 km or 23 percent of 
Earth's circumference. N-diamonds and lonsdaleite, or hexagonal diamond, do not 
co-occur with terrestrial diamonds, but are found in meteorites. Lonsdaleite is 
found on Earth only in association with known ET impacts, and thus, is a 
definitive impact indicator. No diamonds have ever been detected in sediments 
above or below the YD impact layer.

Some critics have suggested that all the inferred impact material is nothing 
more than typical meteoritic ablation products and that the indicators rained 
down from the heavens non-catastrophically over time. This hypothesis is 
refuted by the presence of millions of diamonds inside single carbon spherules 
that formed rapidly from charred tree sap. Our research, which has resulted in 
a patent application for a new process to create diamonds, indicates that they 
could have only formed during the extraordinarily high temperatures and 
pressures that existed during an impact. The cosmic rain was heavy and far 
from gentle.
 
I have also placed a PDF of them on my website here:

I think that pretty well explains those mammoth bodies piled up along the river 
in Alaska that Hibben saw. And gives the reason for some of the peoples' 
strange  tales.

Of course, you can read a few of the peoples accounts of this in my book, 
personally signed copies of which are available from me for $20 plus $5 
priority mail shipping US, or plus $15 for shipping overseas.  The book is in 
English.

Now if there were only some larger carbonaceous chondrites to sell, or some 
nice shatter cones, or some impact glasses bigger than spherules.

[meteorite-list] NEW Space Rocks POD - Need Submissions!

2008-11-18 Thread Michael Gilmer
Hi Folks!

I know there are other people out there who are going through withdrawals since 
Michael Johnson's
Rocks from Space POD went on hiatus.  So, until Johnson's POD comes back 
online, I am going to
offer an interim solution for those of us who need our daily meteoritical eye 
candy.

First, I want to say that I am not trying to replace Rocks from Space POD.  
Indeed, Michael has done
a superb job with it and it because he has done such a great job that I am 
addicted to it and now feel
compelled to offer a temporary replacement.

I have the space and bandwidth on my server to host a similar service, so I 
encourage my fellow list
members to send me their submissions for consideration.  Please send all image 
files to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Guidelines :

1) Please send only images that you own or have permission from the owner to 
use.  I will be hosting
the images on Photobucket so I want to avoid any potential copyright issues. 

2) Please send images in any common format (JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, etc) and try to 
keep the size of the
files down to 1MB or less.

Please note, I will be calling this daily service the Space Rocks Picture of 
the Day.  Hopefully when
Michael Johnson's Rocks from Space POD comes back online, I will stop doing my 
version.  And I also
hope he is not offended by this imitation project on my part since my intent to 
is to pay homage to his
original service and give us meteorite freaks our daily eye candy fix.

I will post the final details to the list tonight or tomorrow - including the 
URL for the Space Rocks POD
and the first installment. :)

Suggestions and submissions are encouraged.

Regards and clear skies,

MikeG

Re: [meteorite-list] Holocene start impacts

2008-11-18 Thread E.P. Grondine
Hi Dirk - 

You can believe whatever you want to believe, But:

The Congress of the United States, that is to say
the Representatives and Senators, both Democrat and
Republican, issued very clear instructions to the
NASA Administrator to deal with the impact hazard.

The current Administrator chose to ignore their 
instructions, trying to pass the problem off to the 
NSF, among others. It is unlikely that the NSF will
reduce its funding for impact studies; in fact, it will
likely work with the USGS in promoting them.

NASA Administrator Griffin will be leaving in a few days, 
and those who advised him to ignore those instructions will
likely follow along shortly thereafter: I could express my 
guess as to who they were, but the NASA archives will be 
open to the next Administrator, so he or she will not have to 
guess. 

The geologists' data agrees with the archaeological data, 
and in fact forms a part of it, and both agree with 
the traditions, such as they are and as they were
preserved. I did as best I could to keep them, and 
pass them on.

There will be some more undeniable geological data 
coming along shortly as well, this concerning later 
impact mega-tsunamis that affected North America.

 Greetings-
   It is amazing the the NSF is funding such bogus research
 as YDB.  Tree sap diamonds...that is about as good as
 tecate diamonds from mezcal Hecho en Mexico.  I think that
 the patentability will be called into question since
 the Mexican inventon group went public with their
 disclosure, thus the tree sap patent application will
 get zapped with Prior Art and Lack of Invention objections
 at the USPTO or at least they should IF the Examiner is
 doing his job.  YDB will soon be a dead topic with the
 upcoming Federal budget cuts.  Thank God.

[meteorite-list] NASA Invites Students to Name New Mars Rover (MSL)

RELEASE: 08-234

NASA INVITES STUDENTS TO NAME NEW MARS ROVER

WASHINGTON -- NASA is looking for the right stuff, or in this case, 
the right name for the next Mars rover. NASA, in cooperation with 
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures' movie WALL-E from Pixar 
Animation Studios, will conduct a naming contest for its car-sized 
Mars Science Laboratory rover that is scheduled for launch in 2009. 

The contest begins Tuesday, Nov. 18, and is open to students 5 to 18 
years old who attend a U.S. school and are enrolled in the current 
academic year. To enter the contest, students will submit essays 
explaining why their suggested name for the rover should be chosen. 
Essays must be received by Jan. 25, 2009. In March 2009, the public 
will have an opportunity to rank nine finalist names via the Internet 
as additional input for judges to consider during the selection 
process. NASA will announce the winning rover name in April 2009. 

Disney will provide prizes to students submitting winning essays, 
including a trip to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, 
Calif., where the rover is under construction. The grand prize winner 
will have an opportunity to place a signature on the spacecraft and 
take part in the history of space exploration. 

Mars exploration has always captured the public imagination, said 
Mark Dahl, program executive for the Mars Science Laboratory at NASA 
Headquarters in Washington. This contest will expand our ability to 
inspire students' interest in science and give the public a chance to 
participate in NASA's next expedition to Mars. 

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in Burbank, Calif., will make it 
possible for WALL-E, the name of its animated robotic hero and summer 
2008 movie, to appear in online content inviting students to 
participate in the naming contest. The online WALL-E content will 
provide young viewers with a current connection to the human-robotic 
partnership that is transforming discovery and exploration. The 
contest coincides with Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's 
release of WALL-E on DVD and Blu-ray. The naming contest partnership 
is part of a Space Act Agreement between NASA and Disney designed to 
use the appeal of WALL-E in educational and public outreach efforts. 

All of us at Disney are delighted to be working with NASA in its 
educational and public outreach efforts to teach schoolchildren about 
space exploration, robot technology and the universe in which they 
live, said Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion 
Pictures Group. WALL-E is one of the most lovable and entertaining 
characters that Pixar has ever created, and he is the perfect 
spokes-robot for this program. 

The Mars Science Laboratory rover will be larger and more capable than 
any craft previously sent to land there. It will check whether the 
environment in a carefully selected landing region ever has been 
favorable for supporting microbial life. The rover will search for 
minerals that formed in the presence of water and look for several 
chemical building blocks of life. 

We are now in a phase when we're building and testing the rover 
before its journey to Mars, said John Klein, deputy project manager 
for the Mars Science Laboratory at JPL. As the rover comes together 
and begins to take shape, the whole team can't wait to call it by 
name. 

Additional assignments include imaging its surroundings in high 
definition, analyzing rocks with a high-powered laser beam, 
inspecting rocks and soil with a six-foot robotic arm, and cooking 
and sniffing rock powder delivered from a hammering drill to 
investigate what minerals are in Martian rocks.

Hi, Pete, List,

The original J. P. Morgan is reputed to have
said, If you have to ask how much a yacht costs,
then you can't afford a yacht.

If you have to ask if the meteorite is real, then
you can't afford to buy an $862,000 wrist watch!

All I know is that I can't...

In response to Martin's suggestion that you ask,
please note the comments at the bottom of the page.
They have been asked, and they ain't talkin'! My
guess is that they mixed cutting dust into the paint
used on the moon-phase dials.

The same seller has a $60,000 meteorite watch
with a speck of meteorite displayed, the name of
which he does not disclose. In both cases, their
cost for the meteoritic material is likely 0.01%  to
0.001%  of the cost of the watch.

Hey list members.  Let's all get together  and each buy one.  That way we 
might get a volume  discount!

Hi, Pete,  List,

The original J. P. Morgan is reputed to  have
said, If you have to ask how much a yacht costs,
then you can't  afford a yacht.

If you have to ask if the meteorite  is real, then
you can't afford to buy an $862,000 wrist  watch!

All I know is that I  can't...

In response to Martin's suggestion that you  ask,
please note the comments at the bottom of the page.
They have been  asked, and they ain't talkin'! My
guess is that they mixed cutting dust into  the paint
used on the moon-phase dials.

The same  seller has a $60,000 meteorite watch
with a speck of meteorite displayed, the  name of
which he does not disclose. In both cases, their
cost for the  meteoritic material is likely 0.01%  to
0.001%  of the cost of the  watch.

Re: [meteorite-list] Scam, or what?

2008-11-18 Thread ensoramanda
If you go to this press page and look down a few lines you will find a picture 
of the so called meteorite and a slice with circles cut out and inserted in the 
workings of the watch!!! So not just specs...but hidden inside...unless they 
show through as the moon phases on the front dial?...At least thats what it 
appears to be?

[meteorite-list] Space Rocks POD - Advertisements Issue Fixed

2008-11-18 Thread Michael Gilmer
Hi Folks!

It has been brought to my attention that the URL redirect service I am using 
for the Space Rocks POD has advertisements embedded in it.  I did 
not know this since I could not see them on my end.  I will NOT be using
this service with ads.

Here is the new (and ad-free) URL :

http://www.glassthrower.com/pod.html

Bookmark it.  It has NO ads, I promise.

The page will change every day, but the previous images will be stored in
the photobucket account for future reference. :)

I apologize for the ad-ridden CJB.net service - the last time I used it
a long time ago, they didn't stick ads on their redirect pages.

I have already received some great submissions for this project, so
keep an eye out for daily updates.

MikeG

[meteorite-list] AD: Special - a fine W1-fresh L3: NWA 5477 with BIG chondrules

2008-11-18 Thread Martin Altmann
Dear Collectors,

this year we spoiled us and you with bringing out a lot of new type-3
chondrites, and in the advertisements we explained and lighted the
especialness, the origins and the meaning of the unequilibrated ordinary
chondrites.

Therefore maybe we should do without lengthy lines this time (do we hear a
finally!?) and should simply let speak the material for itself?

3ers never get boring, they all are different.
Look at that one, how huge some of its chondrules are!

Slices of L3s and H3s - for us it's like ambling through a picture-gallery,
where with the tableaux old epochs suddenly get alive again.

And in such a slice, in the tessellation of chondrules of the 3ers, a
chondrule-lover can totally sink in.

http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa5477.html


This Special isn't such a complete price-destroyer like last week's
brachinite*, but NWA 5477 has a well-preserved blackish fusion crust
and with its fresh weathering degree of W1, its sitting in the first rows
with his class mates,
therefore are the 9$ a gram a very attractive offer.

NWA 5477 is moderately shocked, S4, tkw is 2kgs.
All slices are on one side grinded, one side polished.
Type-3-lovers know why.

Enjoy!

PS: * we cut and prepared some more small specimens of the brachiite, 1 to
3grams for the low-budget-collectors. We hade the impression, that some were
hesitating, cause the price seemed for them not plausible else, than it must
be inferior material.
It isn't. It is a classic brachinite through and through, not better and not
worse than the other few representatives of that class.
