[meteorite-list] new fall in Morroco
Hello, I looked at the snow in Oukaimeden (where you can skiing 70km SE of Marrakech). There's snow and cold for a week. I wonder how the freshly meteorites were found in such a bad condition, in the mountains near Marrakech ? And the size of the strewnfield (4,000 sq kilometers ) is enormous and doubtful. Also, stones are said to be weathered. Are we sure it's a new fall and not saharian meteorites sold as a new fall ?

Re: [meteorite-list] new fall in Morroco
I was told by one of my best Moroccan suppliers that he has been working on this fireball for two weeks, and has yet to find anyone who knows of pieces being recovered. I sense a recycling of chergach or Bassi going on. I also know the High Atlas should be well covered in snow right now. I would need to see these stones to be interested.

[meteorite-list] The old one two punch
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/01/090107085320.htm Catastrophic Coincidence: Second Ever Example Of Contemporaneous Meteorite Impact And Flood Volcanism Discovered ScienceDaily (Jan. 7, 2009) Scientists have discovered only the second example of a meteorite impact that occurred at the same time as massive volcanic activity, in research published in the Journal of the Geological Society the week of Jan 12. The first time such a coincidence was observed, at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, was the catastrophic event thought to be responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. This new event, uncovered after the 17 km diameter Logoisk impact structure in Belarus was precisely dated, is thought to have taken place around 30 million years ago. The crater was dated using argon isotopes, and found to have occurred at a similar time to a period of massive volcanism known as the Afro-Arabian flood volcanism, which started in NW Yemen at around 30.9 Mya, and SW Yemen at around 29.0 Mya. The impact also coincides broadly with a period of sudden global cooling and sea level fluctuation. The researchers, led by Sarah Sherlock at the Open University, argue that massive volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts are likely to have coincided much more frequently than has previously been thought, but because the preservation of impact craters on Earth is poor much of the evidence for these coincidences is lost. The relationships between meteorite impact craters, volcanism and changes in climate is a subject of much debate among scientists. Prior to the study, only one example of an impact coinciding with volcanism had been found: the Chicxulub and Boltysh impacts and the Deccan Traps flood volcanism, all of which occurred at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. In 2002, the discovery of their coincidence with a global mass extinction led to debate over the causative links between meteorite impacts, volcanism and mass extinction events, and fuelled the search for more impacts at stratigraphic boundaries. Unlike the Cretaceous-Tertiary event, the combination of the Logoisk impact and the Afro-Arabain flood volcanism does not seem to have caused an extinction event. The researchers suggest that the reason for this may be that the magnitude of the event was not sufficiently large in comparison. Whilst the Chicxulub crater associated with the extinction of the dinosaurs measures 170km in diameter and the Deccan Traps released around (2-4) x106 km3 of lava, in comparison the Logoisk impact structure measures 17km across and the Afro-Arabian flood volcanism is around 1.2 x106 km3 in volume. As a result, the effects of each event were likely to have been very different. At the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, it is thought that one of the deadly effects was the release of sulphur dioxide, either as acid rain or in the stratosphere, where it would have prevented heat from reaching the earth and caused massive global cooling. Around 8000 billion tons of SO2 are thought to have been released by the volcanism and meteorite impact. In comparison, the Logoisk impact and the Afro-Arabian volcanism are thought to have contributed only 30 billion tons of SO2. Meteorite impact craters are extremely difficult to date, but an understanding of their age and frequency is crucial to attempts to control the number of future impacts, as well as understanding the links between impacts and other catastrophic events such as large volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions. Around 90% of the Earths record of meteorite impacts is lost, and the researchers argue that coincidences between impacts and flood volcanism are far from rare. They suggest that, for every incidence of flood volcanism, at least one crater the size of Logoisk is likely to form, although few such coincidences are likely to be on a scale grand enough to bring about an extinction event comparable with that which destroyed the dinosaurs. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Thin Section collecting - storage
Hello Leigh Anne and listees, thin sections also display nicely in a cabinet. The best 100 examples of my own collection are displayed in five rows behind glass in a wooden framed cabinet hanging at one of the walls in my living room. Each of those sections is placed in the upright position on a small tripod plastic stand (PS: I believe these are also known under the name mini easel stands, but I am not sure). I keep all my other thin sections in several small wooden thin section boxes, holding 25 each, which I once bought from David New, years ago. If I have to transport thin sections from one local place to another (...I use to live in two different places a few hundred km apart...), or may be, take them to or from a show, I use those little flat plastic cases, which Anne Black supplies with any thin section ordered from her. This is a safe way to handle the slides, when you are on the road again, or just want to show them to someone else without the need to touch them with your fingers.

Hi Listites and other Amphoterites, As I scratched my noggin on the why, why, why conspicuous consumption is still such a positive cornerstone even for those who promise to renew the ever dwindling planetary resources, these words from CNN were hilarious (could this government project be the long awaited bailout stimulus plan for GM?). H. they say it is a hybrid vehicle (that runs only on diesel?) If Obama hasn't thought of it yet, I'd quietly order one up with dual Rutan hybrid rocket engines, divert a bit of the nitrous oxide into the driver's airspace, and take a spin around the asteroid belt for what this is costing all those rich taxpayers, but alas, that naughty former Australian PM has production tied up for the moment: [On the Obamas' new official limo to premier on Inaguration Day,] One news agency, noting its 8-inch-thick doors, says the limo can withstand a direct hit from an asteroid. But GM spokeswoman Joanne K. Krell laughed off the comments. In truth, the new presidential limo is a Cadillac, Krell said, although it is not a direct extension of any single model. The presidential vehicle is built to precise and special specifications, undergoes extreme testing and development, and also incorporates many of the top aspects of Cadillac's 'regular' cars -- such as signature design, hand-cut-and-sewn interiors, etc., Krell told CNN. Cadillac is honored to serve and renew this great tradition, she said. And it is entirely appropriate that an American president has at his service a great American vehicle. For much of the country's history, the Secret Service didn't even drive the president, evidently oblivious to the dangers of asteroids. Wow - unfortunately for most of us, the Secret Service almost had it right! Furthermore...what fun will it be if the vehicle industry follows suite and the hammered become the hammers, with just a little remaining black fusion crust remaining on the vehicle next to a pile of pulverized meteorite powder.

Now I am confused, everyone is saying that the fall was near Marrakech, and in the High Atlas Mountains, now you say some fell in the ocean? The Ocean is hundreds of KM from there. Is this now the biggest fall in history. Just confused on the different information coming out. I know there was a fireball, some German friends of mine were in Morocco the day it fell. What is unclear is whether any has actually been found. I will of course, be in Tucson, so I cant wait to see this and compare the pieces to Chergach or Bassi, or Oum Dreyga.

Send me a link, information or photos if you do...The odd part about the sliced and broken pieces are the hollow interiors of some of the stones. I have reservations on some of these pieces about their meteoric origin but there are some in this batch that are 100% mesosiderite. What causes this?

John, That is correct. First post to the list, that way my box does not get flooded. But oddly my box got barraged anyway. Did not think that so many would take me up on the offer. Stranger yet, is that you and the first one that DID post to the list were not in the US. Many that did respond and sent a request to my e-mail are my friends, but-- got to stick to my words, though... first to post to the list... Best to you Down Under. Steve.

Re: [meteorite-list] New fall in Morocco
for what I have seen in the photos, its many similar to the last fall in morocco of some months ago - I have lost the names seen I not buy other meteorites from Morocco from many time - seen in this time moroccans not sale many, seen they ask to much highest prices, is not a problem take pieces of other falls and say this material its from a new fall.

The Tucson show is coming in few weeks and all the dealers who have the chance to be in Tucson will have the apportunity to see and own some of this new fall then an end would be put to all these bad impressions about it..Anyone who is interested in this new fall shouldnt hesitate to buy and own some of this stuff since the big part of the fall is in the deep ocean.. cheers Said Haddany __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list M come Meteorite Meteoriti i...@mcomemeteorite.it http://www.mcomemeteorite.it http://www.mcomemeteorite.info Mindat Gallery http://www.mindat.org/gallery-5018.html __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Eric, I am posting this a second time since I didn't send it to the list as I had intended.

Re: [meteorite-list] Curious stones?
Eric, Dan, They look natural to me, but, at least the two that you have cut, don't look like meteorites. Note the cavity in the middle of each - they look much more like terrestrial concretions. That said, some of your specimens do look like the weathered pallasite coming out of Morocco - NWA 4482. Some of the fragments of that pallasite showed the parallel fractures due to spalling displayed by two of your pieces. But there is a large weathered Mesosiderite find that has been attributed at least several NWA numbers as well - both the Hupes and Birdsells were selling quite a bit on ebay, though I can't find the NWA number of it right now - short on time, sorry.
