 Hello List, 
 
 I, too, had a great time at the new West, Tx fall. My son and I arrived 
 there on Wed afternoon, Feb 18th, 3 days after the fall, and hunted all 
 day Thu-Sat, the 19-21st. This was our 1st father-son hunt and it turned 
 out very well, as we found 5 specimens, with a total weight of 270g over 
 those 3 days. ( My son beat me by a factor of about 2.5 to 1 in regard to 
 weight found!) 
 
 When we arrived home, my wife saw the beautiful stones and said she 
 wanted to go find some of them. In spite of my warning her about the tough 
 terrain and the biting, powerful winds, she still wanted to go. She had 
 been on one hunt with me 13 years ago, with no finds. So, after having to 
 let my regular job interfere with our meteorite hunting for a week, she 
 and I headed back down there for another try over Sun-Tues, 3-1-09 thru 
 3-3-09 . We got very lucky again, as we both ended up finding one before 
 it was time to leave. 
 
 Our find stats for about 5 day's hunting were: 
 
 Total number = 7 individuals 
 Total weight = 407g 
 
 I THINK my son's 133g find is PERHAPS the 5th (or so) largest stone?? 
 But this is exactly the point I was hoping to make with this post. It 
 really would be nice if everyone would post their totals as well. That 
 way, we wouldn't be guessing/estimating the total number of stones and the 
 TKW. I think everyone would be very interested to see what the true 
 numbers are. 
 
 Best wishes, 
 Robert Woolard

[meteorite-list] Response to West stats

2009-03-04 Thread Robert Woolard

Hello List,

  Thanks to all those who have already responded with their find statistics, as 
I hope the rest of you will when you have time. As one prominent member pointed 
out, the totals are still climbing, with finds being made even today. 
Obviously, the TKW and number of stones found will both climb to some degree 
over the next few days and even weeks. But, baring some exciting and unexpected 
development out in the field, which could conceivably happen at any time, it 
would seem that the best of the hunting is unfortunately past us, as the new 
planting/growing season progresses. The beauty of our list is that the totals 
can be adjusted easily, day by day even, as members continue to recover these 
beautiful stones.  

  Robert Woolard

Actually Marc, I also went there on my own dime, like the other roughly 50 
meteorite hunters. I have no paycheck coming in like you, I have to hustle 
if I want paid. I have no retirement fund other that what I sock away on my 
own, no health-care plan, no sick days or any other form of money other than 
what I make myself. I had plans, and work to do, and this meteorite fall 
forced me to change those plans, and prioritize my time. Of course not 
everyone can do that, but come on, central Texas, barely one hour from 
Austin or Dallas, and no interest from meteorite specialists.


I also told the meteorite list a week ago that I am going to publish my 
strewn-field map, with almost 100 stones to be listed. I can not list the 
other team's stones, as again, they are sworn to secrecy and not likely to 
share that kind of data like I am going to. Give me till Thursday or Friday 
and I should have the map up for all who want it.

This scientist could only make it there for one and a half
days, on my own
dime, and would have loved to stay.  A downside of our
profession is that
most of us have to account for our (fairly pricey) time and
don¹t have much
in the way of flexibility.

I¹m very interested in seeing the tally from this fall.
Even better would
be a detailed strewn field map with locations and masses,
but even a rough
depiction of the strewn field long axis (axes?) would be
great stuff.  Seems
to me that a downside of your profession is that that
information is used to
support yourselves and so becomes proprietary.  I
understand that, but it is
a real loss scientifically speaking.

 Let's show the scientists that we as collectors

 Pity, some of them hate collectors and dealers, but
when a fall occurs, they

 that there are hundreds if not thousands of other

Howdy all

I¹ve received a few ...em... ³spirited² responses to my last email that
tell me that it didn¹t exactly read the way I intended.  I wasn¹t trying to
be a hero because I bought a plane ticket, I was trying to say that
traveling on ³your own dime² isn¹t what scientists are used to doing.
Someone had made the comment that there were no scientists to be seen at
West, and I agree that is ridiculous.  Scientists travel to Antarctica every
year to collect meteorites, but no one could be bothered to fly to Austin!?
How many people who spend their lives studying meteorites just passed up a
chance to see an actual, fresh strewn field??  (not to mention the kolaches)
Funny thing is, I was actually agreeing with some of the nasty-grams I¹ve

Sounds like I touched a nerve.  Can I suggest that y¹all spare me the
wrath, and direct it instead at the scientists who weren¹t actually there?

[meteorite-list] The Lower Atmosphere of Pluto Revealed

2009-03-04 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/press-rel/pr-2009/pr-08-09.html

ESO 08/09 - Science Release

2 March 2009
For Immediate Release

The lower atmosphere of Pluto revealed

Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have gained valuable new
insights about the atmosphere of the dwarf planet Pluto. The scientists
found unexpectedly large amounts of methane in the atmosphere, and also
discovered that the atmosphere is hotter than the surface by about 40
degrees, although it still only reaches a frigid minus 180 degrees
Celsius. These properties of Pluto's atmosphere may be due to the
presence of pure methane patches or of a methane-rich layer covering the
dwarf planet's surface.

http://www.eso.org/gallery/v/ESOPIA/SolarSystem/pr-08a-09-fullres.tif.html
ESO PR Photo 08a/09
http://www.eso.org/gallery/v/ESOPIA/SolarSystem/pr-08a-09-fullres.tif.html
Pluto (Artist's Impression)

With lots of methane in the atmosphere, it becomes clear why Pluto's
atmosphere is so warm, says Emmanuel Lellouch, lead author of the paper
reporting the results.

Pluto, which is about a fifth the size of Earth, is composed primarily
of rock and ice. As it is about 40 times further from the Sun than the
Earth on average, it is a very cold world with a surface temperature of
about minus 220 degrees Celsius!

It has been known since the 1980s that Pluto also has a tenuous
atmosphere [1], which consists of a thin envelope of mostly
nitrogen, with traces of methane and probably carbon monoxide. As Pluto
moves away from the Sun, during its 248 year-long orbit, its atmosphere
gradually freezes and falls to the ground. In periods when it is closer
to the Sun — as it is now — the temperature of Pluto's solid surface
increases, causing the ice to sublimate into gas.

Until recently, only the upper parts of the atmosphere of Pluto could be
studied. By observing stellar occultations (ESO 21/02
http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/press-rel/pr-2002/phot-21-02.html), 
a phenomenon that occurs when a Solar
System body blocks the light from a background star, astronomers were
able to demonstrate that Pluto's upper atmosphere was some 50 degrees
warmer than the surface, or minus 170 degrees Celsius. These
observations couldn't shed any light on the atmospheric temperature and
pressure near Pluto's surface. But unique, new observations made with
the CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph (CRIRES), attached to ESO's
Very Large Telescope, have now revealed that the atmosphere as a whole,
not just the upper atmosphere, has a mean temperature of minus 180
degrees Celsius, and so it is indeed much hotter than the surface.

In contrast to the Earth's atmosphere [2], most, if not all, of
Pluto's atmosphere is thus undergoing a temperature inversion: the
temperature is higher, the higher in the atmosphere you look. The change
is about 3 to 15 degrees per kilometre. On Earth, under normal
circumstances, the temperature decreases through the atmosphere by about
6 degrees per kilometre.

It is fascinating to think that with CRIRES we are able to precisely
measure traces of a gas in an atmosphere 100 000 times more tenuous than
the Earth's, on an object five times smaller than our planet and located
at the edge of the Solar System, says co-author Hans-Ulrich Kaufl. The
combination of CRIRES and the VLT is almost like having an advanced
atmospheric research satellite orbiting Pluto.

The reason why Pluto's surface is so cold is linked to the existence of
Pluto's atmosphere, and is due to the sublimation of the surface ice;
much like sweat cools the body as it evaporates from the surface of the
skin, this sublimation has a cooling effect on the surface of Pluto. In
this respect, Pluto shares some properties with comets, whose coma and
tails arise from sublimating ice as they approach the Sun.

The CRIRES observations also indicate that methane is the second most
common gas in Pluto's atmosphere, representing half a percent of the
molecules. We were able to show that these quantities of methane play a
crucial role in the heating processes in the atmosphere and can explain
the elevated atmospheric temperature, says Lellouch.

Two different models can explain the properties of Pluto's atmosphere.
In the first, the astronomers assume that Pluto's surface is covered
with a thin layer of methane, which will inhibit the sublimation of the
nitrogen frost. The second scenario invokes the existence of pure
methane patches on the surface.

Discriminating between the two will require further study of Pluto as
it moves away from the Sun, says Lellouch. And of course, NASA's New
Horizons space probe will also provide us with more clues when it
reaches the dwarf planet in 2015.

Notes

[1] The atmospheric pressure on Pluto is only about one hundred
thousandth of that on Earth, or about 0.015 millibars.

[2] Usually, air near the surface of the Earth is warmer than the air
above it, largely because the atmosphere is heated from below as solar
radiation warms the Earth's

[meteorite-list] AD : Garage Sale - Micromounts, Meteorwrongs, UNWA, NWA 869, more.

2009-03-04 Thread Michael Gilmer

Spring Cleaning Part 2 - Meteorite Garage Sale.

I bought too much stuff recently and the wife is starting to look 
at me crossways.  

So I am cleaning out the nooks and crannies of my specimen cabinet
to free up some cash.  All prices are approximate, I am open to
reasonable offers.  

Take the entire lot, everything in this ad, for $110 shipped via
Priority Flat Rate Box.

Each micromount specimen comes with a 1.25 gemjar with a label in 
the bottom identifying the name, type, country of origin and date
of the fall or find.  

Shipping is only $2 to anywhere in the CONUS - if you buy one or 
ten, it's only $2.

Buyers outside the CONUS, including Canada and Overseas pay actual 
shipping costs - contact me for an estimate.

PayPal preferred.  I will accept a USPS Postal Money Order from 
CONUS buyers only.  Canadian and Overseas buyers must use PayPal.

I have a few larger specimens and themed Riker displays also. 

Refer to the photos in the links below.  If you want to see a 
close-up photo of a particular micromount, feel free to ask and I 
will provide one.  Some of the micromounts which consist of many 
tiny fragments are inside little glass vials with plastic
stoppers.  The vial is then placed in a labelled gemjar.  All 
micromounts were weighed on a milligram scale.

THE SALE PIECES :

1) UNWA endcut - unclassified, but I am almost certain it is 
Al-Haggounia.  This is half of the meteorite that I posted to this 
list about a few times over the last couple of months.  I had it 
sent off for cutting, and after consulting with several experienced 
list members, I am confident it is a weathered piece of Al-Hagg.
But I am selling it as UNWA because it is not been officially 
classified or paired. It's a nice chunky end piece with a clean cut
with lots of mineralized veins, faint  chondrules, and high metal
content.  Nice wind polished, uncut backside. This endcut weighs 75
grams.  Asking $30 or best offer.

2) Al-Haggounia 001 endcut.  This is a bonafide Al-Hagg piece that
I acquired from Arizona Johnny.  It's a classic slice of this 
meteorite, showing the characteristic tan, sandstone-like matrix 
with dark veins.  This piece is less weathered than the
larger UNWA endcut above, but the natural side lacks wind polish, 
which the other piece has.  This endcut weighs 17 grams.  Asking $10.

3) NWA 869 slice in a 6x8 Riker box with label.  This is a large 
slice of NWA 869 that weighs 21 grams.  It has 2 cut faces that 
show lots of chondrules and metal flecks.  It also has dark crust
around the edge of the slice.  It comes with a label as shown in 
the photo.  Asking $20 or best offer.

4) Meteorwrongs display in a 6x8 Riker box with label.  After 
sorting through a few dozen mixed kilos of UNWA material, I ran 
across some oddball specimens that are not meteorites, but are 
interesting nevertheless.  One of them is dead ringer for a 
meteorite, but shows no magnetic attraction.  I filed a window into 
the  backside of it, and I am confident it is not a meteorite.  I 
don't know what it is, but it's some kind of Earth rock imposter. 
It even has a faux remnant fusion crust in places.  There is also
some silicated rocks with desert varnish that look like
small meteorites.  Lastly, there are some magnetite specimens and 
something that might be hematite - these all stick to a magnet, but 
are not meteorites.  This would be a good outreach prop for 
identifying meteorites/wrongs.  Asking $25

5) Micromounts.  Each comes with a labelled gemjar and/or glass 
vial.  To see photos of specific pieces, email me.  Refer to the 
close-up photo linked below to get a good idea of what the micros
look like. Asking $5 each, unless otherwise marked.  Take them all
for $55 shipped.

Pallasovka - 11 grams of weathered fragments and olivine pieces.  Asking $10.
Tulia(a) - 200mg - 3 fragments
Carancas - 90mg of tiny fragments and dust.
Forestburg(a) - 159mg of fragments and dust
NWA 4439 (Carbonaceous CO3.3) - 141mg of small fragments.
Holbrook - 274mg of tiny fragments and dust.
NWA 2634 (Ureilite) - 32mg of small fragments.
Brenham - 281mg of weathered fragments and olivine pieces.
Travis County(b) - 331mg of small fragments.
Dawn(a) - 578mg - small endcut.
Cape York - 127mg of oxidized shale fragments.
Tulia(b) - 138mg of tiny fragments and dust.
Murchison (Carbonaceous CM2) - 25mg of small fragments. Asking $7

Thanks for looking and clear skies! :)

[meteorite-list] Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Resumes Normal Science Operations

2009-03-04 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2009-037  

Orbiter Resumes Normal Science Operations
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
March 03, 2009

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Mission Status Report

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has fully
recovered from an unexpected computer re-set last week and resumed its
scientific investigation of Mars.

The mission's flight-team engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Pasadena, Calif., and at Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, sent
commands Monday, March 2, to power up the spacecraft's science
instruments. Observations by the instruments resumed Tuesday morning
after confirmation of instrument health and proper temperatures.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had rebooted its computer Monday
morning, Feb. 23, and put itself temporarily into a limited-activity
safe mode that is an automated safety response. After analysis of the
situation, including ground-based tests simulating the spacecraft
events, engineers took the spacecraft out of safe mode on Saturday.

We have proceeded cautiously, checking the health and performance of
the spacecraft at each step as we brought it back to full, normal
operations, said JPL's Dan Johnston, mission manager for the Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The team found that a voltage reading might have triggered the Feb. 23
reboot and that the event could have resulted from a cosmic-ray hit
causing an erroneous voltage reading. Ground simulations have confirmed
the expected spacecraft behavior due to the erroneous voltage reading.
Since the Feb. 23 event, the spacecraft systems have continued to
perform as expected.

JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, manages the
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems is the prime contractor for
the project and built the spacecraft. For more information about the
mission, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/mro .

[meteorite-list] Mars Odyssey Flight Team to Check Status of Backup System

2009-03-04 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2009-038  

Odyssey Flight Team to Check Status of Backup System
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
March 04, 2009

Mars Odyssey Mission Status Report

PASADENA, Calif. -- The team operating NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter plans
a procedure next week to address a long-known, potential vulnerability
of accumulated memory corruption.

The procedure requires rebooting the spacecraft's computer. This is not
a risk-free event, but the Odyssey team and NASA have carefully weighed
the risks of performing a cold reboot compared with the risk of doing
nothing, and determined that the proper course of action is to proceed
with the reboot.

The chief concern about the potential memory vulnerability stems from
the length of time that the spacecraft has been exposed to the
accumulated effects of the space radiation environment since the last
reboot, which occurred on Oct. 31, 2003.

As an additional benefit, the cold-reboot procedure will demonstrate
whether Odyssey's onboard backup systems will be available should they
ever be required.

We have lost no functionality, but there would be advantages to knowing
whether the B side is available, said Odyssey Mission Manager Gaylon
McSmith of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. We have
developed a careful plan for attempting to determine that.

In all the years since its April 7, 2001, launch, Odyssey has not needed
to use its set of spare components. The spares are called the
spacecraft's B side, which includes an identical set of a computer
processor, navigation sensors, relay radio and other subsystems. To use
any of them, Odyssey would have to shift to all of them at once from its
primary set of components, called the A side.

On March 21, 2007, the B-side spare of an electronic component for
managing the distribution of power, called the high-efficiency power
supply, became inoperable. If it is permanently disabled, then none of
the B side is available for use. Engineers have investigated the
inoperability of the B-side high-efficiency power supply. They concluded
that the component can probably be made to work properly again by
rebooting the orbiter's computer, although the memory-vulnerability
issue that is the current concern is not directly related to the March
2007 event that affected the power supply.

Odyssey is in the third two-year extension of its mission at Mars. Some
A-side components, such as the UHF radio used for communications with
spacecraft on the surface of Mars, have worked as long as they were
designed to last.

In addition to its own major scientific discoveries and continuing
studies of the planet, the Odyssey mission has played important roles in
supporting the missions of the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity and
the Phoenix Mars Lander.

JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena,
manages Mars Odyssey for the NASA Science Mission Directorate,
Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is the prime
contractor for the project and built the spacecraft. Additional
information about Odyssey is at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/odyssey .

[meteorite-list] WEST- A challenge to the hunters of The West Meteorite! THANKS TO MICHAEL JOHNSON

2009-03-04 Thread michael cottingham

Hello,

I am still trying to get the time to post some of my photos of my West  
Keepers to Michael Johnson. Which got me thinking about the enjoyment  
of his site and all of those wonderful photos which have kept us all  
connected on The West Meteorite Fall.
I decided to send Michael Johnson a piece of West, a small part slice  
and a newspaper with a story about the fall.  I would ask a few of the  
more lucky hunters to maybe share a piece with Michael Johnson, if you  
can. I know it really is a lot to ask, but his site really was awesome  
and on the top of the excitement and tempo of the West Fall. If not  
for his posting of all the wonderful photos, we would not have had  
this event shine like it has. His work was simply a new turning point  
in meteorite hunting and field reporting-visually speaking.


THANKS MICHAEL JOHNSON.

Send Him Some Meteorites, please, at the least a BIG LIST THANK YOU!

Best Wishes

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook Photos

2009-03-04 Thread Eric Wichman

Very nice indeed! Great job Erik!

I was thinking that since Holbrook was a relatively fresh meteorite 
(compared to say Franconia or GB and most NWA I've seen), it's amazing 
to see how much or little the fusion crust on some pieces weather away. 
Holbrook falling in 1912 and being on the ground not quite 100 years is 
a blink of an eye in geological time. The crust in in good shape and 
there's some patina and oxidation.


I can imagine whatever is not destroyed of the West TX fall will look 
worse than Holbrook in 100 years due to the weather in Texas. Keep in 
mind that lots of land out there is not farmland but ranches and they 
don't get plowed or irrigated like cropland. Stones that are on the 
ranches, -as long as they stay ranches- should be relatively preserved 
right? Rainfall/Snowfall must also be considered but The only data I 
found said about 8 inches annually for the area.


Not that we'll be around to see it but, what do you think West will look 
like in 100 Years?

Erik and all,

Can't tell too much through the weathered crust.  Sometimes though, the 
chondritic material in an impact melt breccia ablates easier than the melt 
forming deeper than normal thumbprints.  You might have to cut it to be sure.

The following link to Bob Haag's site has a photo of Cat Mountain that shows 
some deep fissures similar to the ones in yours.

  At the Tucson Show this year I purchased a few unclassified chondrites from

because the stone is most likely brecciated?
Or just an interesting fenominom?

Hi all,
Sorry for not answering my emails for the last 3 hours I was on a plane and was 
unable to answer to do so. I'm working on them now

Also I was interviewed yesterday by the local paper -the West News - in West, 
Texas - And so there is a GREAT article about Hopper today! Oh ya, they also 
mention Steve Arnold, Sonny, Rob Wesel and me...

If there are any hunters still in west this will be a keeper for sure so get a 
copy or two.

Here is a link to two of the pics in the article
