Hello list members, the 982 grams Tafassasset was not sold so I decided to give it another chance and put it again on ebay. But it'll be the last time. After that, I'll cut it in slices to sell it slice by slice so it'll sell this way.

List: I have a question regarding E-chondrites. I was told that Enstatite Chondrites have a more gray (dark) matrix than an ordinary chondrite. They also contain more metal (as a rule) than a typical H-chondrite. Now I always thought it was impossible to recognize an E-chondrite by eye.

Re: [meteorite-list] E-chondrites
I noticed that with the heavily weathered examples they develop a yellow sulfur looking powder in spots. The OC's tend to have a little more orange rust color. I'm not saying this is an accurate indicator but rather, I am wondering if others have noticed this as well. Tom In a message dated 12/21/2009 10:42:38 A.M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Dukinâ out the Younger Dr yas Boundary
Hi Everyone: I just came back from our weekly Asteroid Lunch where I presented this session! Dukin' it out summarizes the session perfectly. There were somewhere between 500 and 800 people in a room with 400 seats (I counted). The talks literally went (with respect to being an impact event: no it isn't, yes it is, no it isn't, yes it is What it really comes down to is the fact that nanodiamonds are found in North America, Europe, and the Sudan (deposited about 12,900 years ago). Nanodiamonds are found in meteorites. However, nanodiamonds have not been shown to form during impact events (microdiamonds are). So, the question really comes down to where they came from and how they formed. I think that this summarizes the talks in one paragraph. Oh, megafauna were dying out prior to 12,900 years ago and any widespead fires predated the Younger Dryas event.

[meteorite-list] Recognizing E-chondrites
From the exterior alone, I would have to agree that an E-chondrite is almost indistinguishable from an O.C. The one E-chondrite I found in Nevada looked like a very fresh O.C. -- presumably an H-chondrite based on the magnetic attraction. Even after cutting a type specimen for analysis, I was convinced it was a very equilibrated H-chondrite. But it turned out to be a weathered (W4) EL6 (Roach Dry Lake 030). So the only anecdotal observational difference that I noted was that the fusion crust was blacker than that of an ordinary chondrite. -Rob __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Perhaps this is the exception that proves the rule, but I've long marveled at the distinctively different crust of the EL6 Hvittis (witnessed fall - 10/21/1901); it's an articulated stubble which looks much like the surface of the spherical sauropod eggshell from South America./d On Dec 21, 2009, at 6:11 PM, Matson, Robert D. wrote: From the exterior alone, I would have to agree that an E-chondrite is almost indistinguishable from an O.C.

[meteorite-list] Fw: Recognizing E-chondrites
Bernd asked me to post this to the list. Twink Monrad Hi Greg S., Jeff Gr., Rob M., and List, Hard to tell in hand sample if a cut slice or an individual is an E chondrite but if the suspect is an EH3 / EL3 or an EH4 / EL4 with clearly discernible chondrules and if it is not too severely weathered, its chondrules will look grayish-white (= enstatite). But this may also be true of Kakangari chondrites (and quite a few others) although the chance to own/find a K-chondrite is extremely remote. Relatively weathered E-chondrites like Dean Bessey's NWA 305* (W3) may be a challenge in hand sample because its chondrules (and matrix . what little matrix there is) look colorful but it is relatively easy when you look at thin sections of such E-chondrites under a microscope in cross-polarized light: they look a little bit . well, boring because they consist almost exclusively of enstatite and enstatite (orthopyroxene) looks grayish-white. No beautiful, colorful interference colors, . just grayish-white chondrules and mineral debris. I also have thin sections of Abee (EH4), Eagle (EL6) but, . same story. Not very spectacular, not very colorful in cross-polarized light. Of course, not very spectacular does not refer to their scientific importance but only to their aesthetic beauty, and, beauty, we all know, lies in the eyes of the beholder(s). * I've uploaded a picture of my NWA 305 endcut and another of my NWA 305 thin section in cross-polarized light so that you should be able to view them by tomorrow (if interested) in the online Encyclopedia of the Met.Bull.

Hi All, If anyone is interested in possibly chasing down the December 16th fireball over southeast Nebraska, I have identified a promising set of radar returns that may be due to this fall. For those familiar with archive NexRad data, check the images from KOAX (Omaha, NE) at 3:14:48 UT starting with the third elevation sweep: 95.7287 W, 40.2469 N, altitude 4.5 km. It's also visible in the 4th, 5th and 6th sweeps for that time. KTWX also shows it at 3:14:39 on passes 3 and 4. If anyone wants images superimposed on a map, I can provide them.

Hello to the List, 'Just received my scale cube today as well. This is a very impressive bit of work! The markings are very crisp. This makes my desert meteorite hunting withdrawals even worse.

I notice Jeff's site shows these are almost sold out, so I'd like to add my voice to the chorus and recommend that all who are considering purchasing one or more of these fine cubes, do so asap! -- Richard Kowalski http://fullmoonphotography.net IMCA #1081 __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

Re: [meteorite-list] Scalecubes.com
Me to, Mine came in the mail today as well. A measure of it's Cool Factor is how long it takes me to put it on a microscope (My personal highest form of compliment) The shots are just taken through a stereo scope but it nicely shows off the crisp detail. Very nice Jeff! Well done! This will be the last scale cube I will ever need. Email me for some shots of the cube! Tom In a message dated 12/21/2009 11:28:10 P.M.
