[meteorite-list] Meteorite article in German Playboy
Hi everyone, I have been on the road heading north for days now, so little email contact. I just wanted to let my friends in Germany know that there is a meteorite article about Bob Haag and I in German Playboy Magazine, December issue. I have yet to see it, but it deals with meteorites in general, and focuses on Carancas. Time is running out to get a copy, so grab one before they are gone. I should have a few copies in Tucson, and I am sure there are other attributes in the magazine if you don't like the story about Bob and I:) Happy Holidays from snowy and very cold Montana.

That is the problem, I think people are with family, I drove to Montana in blizzards, lucky to have made it here, snowing right now, supposed to snow all night and all day tomorrow. I am only 20 miles from the Canadian border. Economy in the tank and everyone on hold I think.

[meteorite-list] exporting Buzzard Coulee meteorites
** Low Priority ** good afternoon, list members; I have recently joined the list and also work at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, in the Earth Sciences section. We are glad to see such another large mass of Buzzard surface. There has been a fair degree of confusion in the past regarding Canada's export laws regarding meteorites. Hopefully this email may shed some light on the process involved. All meteorites recovered in Canada - regardless of value - are withheld from export pending the export review process. In a nutshell the system works like this: the owner of the meteorite decides he or she wishes to sell the piece. They apply to our Ministry of Heritage for an export permit. Normally the Ministry withholds granting the permit for a 6 month period. This gives Canadian institutions the opportunity to decide if they want to attempt to acquire the piece in question. If after the end of 6 months no institution has notified the Ministry of their intention to purchase the piece the export permit is granted and the owner can sell the sample to anyone they choose, anywhere in the world, perfectly legally. The owner of the 8kg mass, Mr. Wiley, has been told about the need to apply for an export permit and has been told about advantages offered by the Ministry which encourage Canadians to sell to Canadian institutions. We are aware that this law rankles many around the world however it's intention is only to give Canadians a chance first so that important material from our country remain here for the enjoyment of Canadians. This is hardly an unreasonable thing. It seems likely that there will be a large amount of material from the Buzzard Coulee fall recovered. So it is likely that there will be a significant amount of material making it's way to the international market. However it is to everyone's advantage - the buyer and the seller- that export be done according to the law.

[meteorite-list] Happy Meteorite Holidays!
Hi fellow listees! As my first year on the list comes to a close, I want to thank everyone here who has provided me with sage advice and great deals. I have learned much here in my time and this list has enriched my enjoyment of meteorites. I want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season - for whatever holiday you may celebrate. May our listmembers and their families find joy and prosperity. :) And I hope everyone that was good this year finds meteorite goodies under their Christmas tree. I was very good apparently, Santa Claus brought me the following so-far : 1) a copy of Kevin Kichinka's The Art of Collecting Meteorites. 2) a renewal of my Meteorite Magazine subscription. 3) a renewal of my Meteoritical Society membership. 4) small etched slices of Udei Station and Gibeon. 5) a nice 60mg Tagish Lake micromount 6) a nice (but small) Bassi whole individual. 7) a nice (but small) Chergach whole individual. 8) a .5 gram Carancas micromount 9) a small slice of Juvinas. 10) micromounts of NWA 482, NWA 3135, and NWA 3151. 11) 45 gram Las Palmas(?) iron 12) Acer Aspire One netbook and aluminum brief case You folks should see how much stuff I had to get the wife to create enough smokescreen to sneak these meteorite purchases in! ;) LOL (actually #1 was a gift from my stepdaughter!) Santa was good to me this year, I'll be sure to leave some milk and cookies out. :) Best regards and happy holidays! MikeG . Michael Gilmer (Louisiana, USA) Member of the Meteoritical Society.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Paperweights
I wouldn't do it for rock or meteorite. The resin/Lucite/acrylic will likely crack unless you put your material in a vacuum and remove as much water as possible. Even some of the Apollo lunar material Lucites cracked and they had been in vacuum for millions of years. I have looked into it extensively and was advised that the failure rate is incredible for this kind of material. Good luck!

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Paperweights
Hello Steve, and all, Next time you are in Fort Worth, you might ask Art Ehlmann to show you the main mass of Somervell County. When Oscar Monnig bought it, it was already a very old and weathered pallasite, and he was adviced to have it encased in plastic to protect it. That did not work for very long, and it just broke in pieces. Too bad because it is a pretty pallasite. Anne M. Black http://www.impactika.com/ impact...@aol.com Vice-President, I.M.C.A.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Paperweights
Darrly Pitt made those Mars cubes, (now, those were pretty cool) but the Zagami dust was inside a glass vial and thus the lucite stuck to it easier than it would to a raw meteorite. He told me the failure rate for those was more than 60%. That is what I was referring to. I have seen Fukang encased in resin as well, when it works, it looks great, but again, massive failure rate, and the material encased is really destroyed in the process. The resin does not often adhere to the object, and shows a bubble where it fails to adhere, making the object look like crap.

Central Standard Time, Impactika writes: Hello Steve, and all, Next time you are in Fort Worth, you might ask Art Ehlmann to show you the main mass of Somervell County. When Oscar Monnig bought it, it was already a very old and weathered pallasite, and he was adviced to have it encased in plastic to protect it. That did not work for very long, and it just broke in pieces. Too bad because it is a pretty pallasite. Anne M. Black http://www.impactika.com/ impact...@aol.com Vice-President, I.M.C.A. Inc. http://www.imca.cc/ Hello Anne, Yes I am aware of the Somervell County. It is a great story. As I understand, Dupont Laboratories had invented this new stuff called plastic, and Monnig heard about it. It might be that the Somervell County was the very first thing ever encapsulated in plastic, or at least that new kind. Of course, that was a huge entire mass with lots of rusting and cracking going on before it was put in, which couldn't help from the inside. And of course years of light hitting it would cause it to deteriorate from the exterior. What I am thinking about is for thin slices of Brenham. I put a slice of Brenham in some about 3 years ago, and it has been preserved perfectly since then. Of course it could still start rusting inside at any minute. But it has encouraged me that something like this might work for slices. My question to the list was to ask to talk with anyone who has tried doing something similar. It doesn't matter to me if the results were successful or not, as long as I can glean some information from others experiments. Obviously Monnig failed at his Somervell County experiment, at least in the long run. Why that failed could be attributed to many things: 1930's plastic quality, poor workmanship on the encasing, moisture in the rock, and even that particular specimen. To say that one failure dooms ALL future attempts I think is a little unscientific. Steve Arnold #1 **One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail. Try it now.

The resin does not often adhere to the object, and shows a bubble where it fails to adhere, making the object look like crap. Mike and All, Yea, I totally forgot about the Fukang. Of course, a 60% failure rate with a $20/g thin slice hurts worse than a possible 60% failure rate with a $3/g Brenham.Also, it might be easier to sand away the resin on a thick slice of Brenham compared to trying to salvage a thin Fukang in a botched job. I will talk with the encaser of the Fukang for any insight he might have. Thanks for the tip. Steve Arnold #1 **One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.

Re: [meteorite-list] Merry Christmas, Thanks, and 40 Years Ago Today
Of course I do Robert! The Moon was 5 days old, 30% illuminated and high in the SW skies of Southern California. Venus was also in the same section of sky as it is now. I used my 6 f/8 Edmund Scientific Newtonian to observe the Moon while Apollo 8 was in lunar orbitprobably why I am such a lunatic observer AND collector of 21 lunar meteorites including some of the best in the world made possible by you.

[meteorite-list] Christmas Greetings
May I please have a few moments of your time to offer a very heartfelt thanks to all the great meteorite dealers as well the many collectors that grace our wonderful list with so much wisdom, wit, and yes, even some bickering amoungst other list members. I can not help but feel that each and every meteorite is a messenger from the Gods. The science learned from all the meteorite falls and finds has made us all far more knowledgeable of how our little corner of the universe was formed and as this process still continues today. I watched the complete space program from start to finish. That was a long time ago. Just over two years ago, I lived in a wonderful spoton the Northern edge of the Odessa strewnfield. I visited the new museum, even getting to be there at the dedication. My first meteorite was an Odessa (I still have it). Then I discovered Ebay and one of my first purchases was a Lunar meteorite--a very small micro.(Thank you, Greg). With wonder, I opened the gem jar and actually touched the moon, a place that over 35 years ago, I watched in facination as Neil stepped into history. Meteorite collecting and dealing is a world wide business. Let us never lose sight of the fact that our hobby just may ignite a joy, a love of science, that will raise up a new Armstrong (to maybe in our lifetime) walk on another planetMars. May the seasons best wishes visit all in the coming new year.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Holidays!
Hi, Tracy, List, may a meteorite of your choice fall in your backyard... The ideal wish meteorite? Hmmm... OK, it will be the first unequivocal Mercurian meteorite, or a Lunaite (which Randy Korotev will demonstrate came from the Moon's farside and is a unique type). It will strike the steel support of your TV antenna and bounce off, smashing the edge of your roof, thus becoming a house-smasher. It will bound downward and strike the obnoxious neighbor standing in your yard arguing with you a glancing blow, thus becoming a people-striking meteorite, not seriously harming him, but shutting him up. It will complete its re-entry by dealing a fatal blow to the neighbor's yappy little dog who wakes you up in the middle of the night; the dog becomes the first witnessed authentic dog-killed-by-a-meteorite. You become the sole owner of the 11.7 kg meteorite, conservatively estimated by the market sages of the List to be worth $1728 per gram, not mention the value of pieces of your roof and antenna, old Band-Aids off the neighbor, and the dead dog, of course, all eminently collectible. Other than getting possession of a meteorite that strikes Santa in his sled, I don't see how you could do better than that. Sterling K.
