Re: [meteorite-list] Reward offered for meteorite find
Roman, Yes, if there is lots of material in Canadian institutions then it will be much easier to get a permit. But, in the end, one will always be able to sell a Canadian meteorite.

If enough material made it to Canadian institutions for study or the national collection, then a permit should be granted. If not, then they can refuse the permit. My take on it.

This means that it would be illegal to export any fragments or individuals without clearance from the Canadian government. To get clearance you would need to apply to the government and then the government would need to make a counter offer equal to the market value of the meteorite. If they do not make an offer then they are obligated to allow export. I am told this would take about 6-8 months but could be a little longer. It is legal to export Canadian meteorites but one must give the Canadian government first right of refusal. At least, this is the way I understand things.

The incredible object from space lit up the night sky on Thursday and was the talk of Western Canadians and space enthusiasts around the world. Some experts believe the meteor fell east of Wainwright just across the border with Saskatchewan. Scientists and treasure hunters from across the province, including Calgary, are scouring that area trying to find the debris trail. Robert Haag, who runs a meteorite website in the U-S, says he'll pay 10 thousand dollars to the first person to find a piece. Meteorite hunting can be a lucrative trade. Haag estimates there could be as much as one million dollars worth of meteorites on the ground from this single meteor. A basketball-sized piece could sell for up to 50 thousand dollars. __ 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 __ 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

[meteorite-list] Grein 004/Tafassasset
Hi Norbert, Bernd, Harald, List, Thank you very much for the info about Grein 004/Tenere 001/Tafa. I indeed read that somewhere sometimes but I have not my archives on hand here in France (BM Met. Catalog (Grady) indeed currently gives most of the meteorite synonyms). Bernd said: Grein 004 as well as Tenere 001 are just synonyms for the Tafassasset Freiburg mass, a single stone weighing 3610 grams. It's no pairing. Bernd, Norbert, does that mean that the tkw for Tafassasset is then 110 kg (Franch find) + 3.61 kg (Grein 004) = 113.61 kg ? (thus [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not [EMAIL PROTECTED] kg as in A to Z ?). Met. Bull. indeed reports the tkw as 114 kg (approx), which well fits the figure. The official type so far is CR-an (Met. Bull.), or PAUNGR (A to Z). Do you agree ? I know that both meteorites were studied separately and that the real type could not be defined. Note that Weir (his web site) reports, for T-1 (= Tenere 001), a total weight of exactly 3.636 kg, also that is brachinite-related and that Tafa itself (separately listed by Weir but said being paired with T-1) is a PAUNGR, possibly CR-related. More recent studies seem to still question that CR-relation... I understand the real type is yet to be defined and that the tkw is close to [EMAIL PROTECTED] kg, more specifically [EMAIL PROTECTED] kg Norbert, do you think Prof Otto knows more on that or whether they continue to study this meteorite in Freiburg ? And Bernd, what you mean by it's no pairing ? Everybody seems to agree so far that the Freiburg mass is also Tafa. (?)

[meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day My thoughts
I agree, Michael does us all a favor nearly every day. My suggestion is that we all ask our selves when we make a submission to Michael for inclusion in his site: Is our submission just to share with all or are we promoting material we may have for sale? If we are using his service as an advertisement then send some $ his way. I have talked to Michael and he is not doing the POD for profit, but there are ongoing costs to maintaining a site with the large amount of images he hosts. I have a large image Gallery of micrographs. I am lucky that Meteorite Times is the host of it. If I had to maintain it and pay for the cost of keeping it free and available to every one, I would of closed it down long ago. Paul (Meteorite Times) puts in a huge amount of work into the updates and maintenance of my Gallery and I am sure Michael has just as much work maintaining his site. I am in no way speaking for any one!!! These are just my thoughts on the subject. Tom Phillips In a message dated 11/26/2008 10:46:47 A.M.

Hello Zelimir, Norbert and all, In a very recent conversation Tony Irving told me that he was re-doing the classification of Tafassasset with Ted Bunch, and that the results would be published in a formal paper. I belive they are practically done so the new classification should be announced pretty soon.

[meteorite-list] Second Group of Mercury Craters Named (MESSENGER)
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=115 MESSENGER Mission News November 26, 2008 Second Group of Mercury Craters Named The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a proposal from the MESSENGER Science Team to name 15 craters on Mercury. All of the newly named craters were imaged during the mission's first flyby of the solar system's innermost planet in January 2008. The IAU has been the arbiter of planetary and satellite nomenclature since its inception in 1919. In keeping with the established naming theme for craters on Mercury, all of the craters are named after famous deceased artists, musicians, or authors. We're pleased that the IAU has again acted promptly to approve this new set of names for prominent craters on Mercury, says MESSENGER Principal Investigator Sean Solomon of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. These latest names honor a diverse suite of some of the most accomplished contributors to mankind's higher aspirations. They also make it much easier for planetary scientists to refer to major features on Mercury in talks and publications. The newly named craters include: o Amaral, after Tarsila do Amaral of Brazil, considered one of the leading Latin American modernist artists. o Dalí, after Salvador Dalí, a Spanish painter and leader of the Surrealist Movement. o Enwonwu, after sculptor and painter Benedict Chukwukadibia Enwonwu, the most renowned Nigerian artist of the 20th century. o Glinka, after Mikhail Glinka, a Russian composer considered to be the father of genuinely Russian music. o Hovnatanian, after Hakop Hovnatanian, an Armenian painter known for his portraits. o Beckett, after Clarice Beckett, recognized as one of Australia's most important modernist artists. o Moody, after Ronald Moody, a self-taught, Jamaica-born sculptor and painter who found success in mid-20th-century London and Paris. o Munch, after Edvard Munch, a Norwegian Symbolist painter, printmaker, and draftsman, perhaps most well-known for his painting The Scream. o Navoi, after Alisher Navoi, a 15th century Uzbek poet, considered by many to be the founder of early Turkic literature. o Nawahi, after Joseph Nawahi, a self-taught artist, lawyer, educator, publisher, member of the Hawaiian legislature for many years, and principal adviser to Hawaii's Queen Lili'uokalani. o Oskison, after John Milton Oskison, a Cherokee author who served as editor and editorial writer for the New York Evening Post. o Poe, after Edgar Allan Poe, American poet, critic, editor, and author. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre. o Qi Baishi, after Qi Baishi, a renowned Chinese painter known for his whimsical water colors. o Raden Saleh, after Raden Saleh, a 19th century Javanese naturalist painter considered to be the first modern artist from what is now Indonesia. o Sher-Gil, after Amrita Sher-Gil, an eminent Indian painter, today considered an important female painter of 20th-century India. It was quite enjoyable to consider candidate names from among the world's most accomplished people in the arts and humanities, says MESSENGER Participating Scientist Dave Blewett, of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, in Laurel, Md. It's also gratifying to have the IAU approve names that have meaning to the team members. For example, the crater Poe (named for Edgar Allan Poe) was a popular choice, as he happens to be a local favorite because of his Baltimore ties. Having names for many of the prominent craters will help us to remember and discuss specific locations in this previously 'undiscovered country,' adds Blewett. An image of Mercury showing the locations of the newly named features is available online at http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/gallery/sciencePhotos/image.php?gallery_id=2image_id=276. The addition of these craters, along with the 12 features named in April, brings the total to 27 newly named surface features for Mercury in 2008. In September 2009 MESSENGER will complete a third and final flyby of Mercury before becoming the first spacecraft to orbit the planet, beginning in March 2011. MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet Mercury and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet closest to the Sun. The MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004, and after flybys of Earth, Venus, and Mercury will start a yearlong study of its target planet in March 2011. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, leads the mission as principal investigator. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory built and operates the MESSENGER spacecraft and manages this Discovery -class mission for NASA. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com
Re: [meteorite-list] Grein 004/Tafassasset
Dear Zelimir, Yes, the Freiburg mass surely is Tafassasset - no doubt about that. And Dr. Otto won't do any further work on it because he emerited from Freiburg University in the meantime. But if you like to ask him for details about the Freiburg mass I'm sure he is willing to provide you with a wealth of information :-) Best, Norbert PS: You are absolutely correct about the TKW of Tafassasset - the original MetBull includes both, the Freiburg mass, and the additional masses that were studies in France. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Zelimir Gabelica [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 26.

Re: [meteorite-list] Largest fall in the world?
Yes, Matt, of all the¨Official meteorite names, Sikhote-Alin represents: 45.9% of the witnessed TKW in Dr. Grossman's Database. Dr. Grossman's database does not include Gao and Monze which were fairly large falls and could slightly adjust that number down a percentage point or two. Bernd, Kunya-Urgench (plus the so-called Official Dashoguz) in your database and not make the cut? For reference when comparing these numbers, the USGS dadabase shows Sikhote Alin as 23 metric tons (over 25 of the American 2000 pounder tons).

My suggestion is that we all ask our selves when we make a submission to Michael for inclusion in his site: Is our submission just to share with all or are we promoting material we may have for sale? If we are using his service as an advertisement then send some $ his way. I have talked to Michael and he is not doing the POD for profit, but there are ongoing costs to maintaining a site with the large amount of images he hosts. I have a large image Gallery of micrographs. I am lucky that Meteorite Times is the host of it. If I had to maintain it and pay for the cost of keeping it free and available to every one, I would of closed it down long ago. Paul (Meteorite Times) puts in a huge amount of work into the updates and maintenance of my Gallery and I am sure Michael has just as much work maintaining his site.

Re: [meteorite-list] Grein 004/Tafassasset
I want to reiterate something I've said before: There is no such thing as an official classification. The Meteoritical Bulletin, the Catalogue of Meteorites, the MetBull Database, A to Z, MetBase, other catalogs, and all research papers and abstracts are publications in which authors/editors classify meteorites according to their own opinions. In the case of the Bulletin, the editors are the members of the Nomenclature Committee. However, there is no official Meteoritical-Society-endorsed classification scheme for them to apply, so they do whatever they like(and this changes with their membership).

Hi Michael and Fellow Listiods, I will add my voice to the chorus, we are glad to see you back on the list with your RfSPOD. I also want to thank Michael Gilmer for filling the void. Some of the incredible meteorites on RfSPOD are for sale and are using RfSPOD as an erzats advertising channel. I do not find this offensive, but seeing as there is a revenue channel, why not have a voluntary donation associated with meteorites that are for sale? I would not trouble Michael J with enforcing the collection of this fee, so I propose a gentlemans (and ladies) agreement that meteorites for sale on RfSPOD are associated with a (well deserved) donation to support the effort.
