[meteorite-list] AD : Big Libyan Desert Glass, UNWA, and Oriented Falls
Hi Folks! I have a few new or interesting offerings that might be of interest to some. First, I have a big, wind-sculpted individual of Libyan Desert Glass. (has a few minor recent chips, but no major breakages, you have to look closely to notice them). This piece weighs 128 grams and has nice translucency and a few tiny inclusions. The best aspect is the wind-sculpted shape that is quite unique, and it displays well in several positions. See it here - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Big-Sculptured-Libyan-Desert-Glass--Translucent-128-grams_1074375.html Second, I have a UNWA endcut hand specimen - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Big-Dark-UNWA-Meteorite-Endcut--240-grams_1074384.html Lastly, some nice oriented whole-stones that are 98-100% freshly-crusted. These are top-quality examples of their respective falls. Both show roll-over lips and heat shield shapes. Oum Dreyga - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Oum-Dreyga-Witnessed-Fall-Meteorite--Oriented-Whole-Stone_1065564.html Chergach - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Chergach-Meteorite--Oriented-Whole-Stone-w-Rollover-Lip_1065557.html (I also have fully-crusted Bensour and Bassikounou stones available) Don't forget to use the coupon code metlist at checkout for a 25% discount on your entire order.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite fall in Latvia, 20 meter crater
From http://readrussia.com/blog/News/00264/ The most striking fact here is that how the meteorite managed to hit Latvia, one of the smallest countries in the world. (This former Soviet republic of 2 million people is only 300 miles wide, i.e. much less than 1 percent of earth's surface.)

I was kinda thinking it may have been a rocket or something to that effect.

Ha! I was expecting a Decepticon to pop out of that hole. Or maybe that was the lost piece of Allspark from the last movie. Too bad, as I have strong ties to Latvia and would love for there to be a new Latvian meteorite.

I was expecting a Decepticon to pop out of that hole. Or maybe that was the lost piece of Allspark from the last movie. Too bad, as I have strong ties to Latvia and would love for there to be a new Latvian meteorite. I mean, it has been nearly 120 years since the last one. --- Mike Bandli Historic Meteorites www.HistoricMeteorites.com IMCA #5765 Member, Meteoritical Society --- -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Meteorites USA Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 7:21 PM To: Joe Kerchner Cc: meteorite list Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite fall in Latvia, 20 meter crater Ok, Flaming meteorite after impact? Really? Waiting for Superman to come crawling out of the hole. Didn't I ready somewhere just recently that a man picked up a piece of space debris (England I think) a few seconds after it impacted his house and it was hot to the touch? And that was a piece the size of a football. Any thoughts on whether this Latvia meteorite impact is real or not? Real or Fake? What's your take?

[meteorite-list] Latvian Meteorite
http://en.rian.ru/world/20091026/156588612.html Meteorite falls in northern Latvia, no one injured - local media RIGA, October 26 (RIA Novosti) - No one was injured after a meteorite fell near a small town in northern Latvia on Sunday, local Latvian media reported. According to media reports, the meteorite fell near a residential house on the outskirts of Mazsalaca town in the Valmiera district of Latvia, leaving a crater of some 20 meters (66 feet) in diameter and 10 meters (33 feet) deep. A spokesperson for the Latvian State Fire and Rescue Service said that rescuers and soldiers immediately cordoned off the territory, however, it is still not clear whether it was an asteroid or a space satellite. The territory has been immediately cordoned off as we still do not know what fell down from the sky. According to preliminary information, it was a meteorite. However, it is possible that it was a [space] satellite or its fragment. A radioactive contamination is also possible, she said. A witness, who saw the object falling from the sky and leaving a burning trace behind, said it was making a noise similar to the one of an aircraft flying at a low altitude. On March 2 this year, a 35-meter asteroid came within 72,000 kilometers of Earth. The size of the space rock was comparable to the asteroid that caused the Tunguska disaster, but there was no danger of a collision. On June 30, 1908, an explosion equivalent to between 5 and 30 megatons of TNT occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in a remote region of Russia's Siberia. The Tunguska blast flattened 80 million trees, destroying an area of around 2,150 sq km (830 sq miles). It is assumed that a huge meteorite had hit the area, although research expeditions failed to find an obvious crater. I don't know, that crater video looked kind of fakey to me.

Re: [meteorite-list] Polishing with Vibrating Laps
Having never really looked into it, I didn't think one could use liquids on a vibratory lap. I've only seen them used with dry grit. I'll be firing one up this winter so I would like to hear myself what to do.
