Metor-Ick(y) = wholesale @ 5 cents/g in Tucson if you buy the whole box.

Meteorbisity = when one's collection cabinet shelves begin to sag
under the weight of unclassified NWAs.

Meteorgasim = oh, you'll know it when you have one.

and

MeteorId = the root psychology that makes us collect these things as
in Freud's id where, specifically, the id is the part of the human
personality that is made up of all our inborn biological urges that
seeks out immediate gratification (guided by the Pleasure Principle),
regardless of social values or consequences.

[meteorite-list] Snow in Arizona

I thought that those visiting the Great State of Arizona this coming week, 
before The Show in Tucson might be interested in seeing today's visible 
satellite image.

It is mostly clear across the state today, so the latest 1km resolution 
satellite images might prove interesting.

http://www.atmo.arizona.edu/gifs/VISAZ.GIF

While this view cuts off the very northern part of the state, including the 
Grand Canyon, you can see all the higher terrains are covered in snow.

Mt. Lemmon, the tallest peak in the Santa Catalinas, which loom over Tucson 
just to the north, received between 2 to 5 feet of snow this week with a little 
more expected this week.

If you want to visit these parts of the state, plan and pack accordingly.

The forecast for the first week of The Show is for sunny skies almost every day 
with highs in the low to mid 60sF (~17C), with lows at night in the 40s (~6C).

[meteorite-list] Fwd: First cut at wind-shifted, predicted impact coordinates

2010-01-24 Thread Mike Hankey

Hi,

Meteor wizard Rob Matson has taken a first crack at estimating a
strewnfield for the Lorton Meteorite.

I have plotted the points in Google Earth. You can see some maps and
download the KMZ file here:

http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/astro-photos/lorton-meteorite-estimated-strewnfield-version-1/

Its looking like the Fort Belvoir Golf Course could be prime hunting grounds.

Rob is the only person I know of who is qualified to do this type of
work and willing to share it with the meteorite community. Rob's work
has been instrumental in numerous meteorite discoveries and we all owe
him a debt of gratitude.

Thanks Rob!

Mike

Hi Guys,

I've done some serious data-gathering and number-crunching
today to come up with a hunting corridor for you. Here are
my current best assumptions based on witness observations,
images of the dust cloud, the impact location, and upper
atmospheric radiosonde data for the balloon launched from
Sterling, VA, about an hour after the fall:

Entry angle: ~55-60 degrees from horizontal (i.e. steep)
Flight direction: Azimuth +191 (11 degrees west of south)
Average wind velocity from 5-16 km altitude: 70 knots
Average wind direction from 5-16 km altitude: Az 90 (east)

Using an example break-up altitude of 25 km at an initial
velocity of 15 km/sec, the rotation of the strewn field
relative to flight direction ends up being 40-50 deg clockwise,
which is quite significant. Here are where masses of various
sizes end up, both in Lat/Long and distance/bearing from the
308 g find:

Mass Longitude Latitude Dist (mi) Bearing
--- - - ---
3 g -77.12929 38.73888 5.2 59.3
5 g -77.14419 38.73268 4.3 58.7
15 g -77.16179 38.72688 3.2 56.0
40 g -77.18079 38.71908 2.1 52.6
120 g -77.19569 38.71088 1.1 50.6
(308 g) -77.21159 38.70068 -0- N/A
1150 g -77.22609 38.69048 1.1 228.0
3750 g -77.24249 38.67848 2.3 227.4

The reason the masses aren't round numbers is that my program
includes ablation, so while the simulated stones started off
with nice round numbers like 100 g and 1 kg at altitude, the
ablated masses are a fraction of the original.

So where are these locations? The 120-gram mass ends up near
Rhondda Drive, a couple hundred meters NW of Richmond Highway
and Telegraph Rd. The 40-gram mass ends up on the north end
of Ft. Belvoir. The simulated 15-grammer ends up on the Ft.
Belvoir golf course. But 5-gram stones would be off the base
to its north, north of John J. Kingman Rd. And 3-gram stones
end up in the southwest corner of Huntley Meadows Park.

Going in the other direction (heavier masses), the ~1.1 kilo
simulated mass above ends up very close to I-95, a little
west of Morris Ginsberg Co. And the largest mass I ran
crosses over to the other side of I-95 on Landfill Drive. ;-)

If you connect all these dots, you should find quite a bit
of searchable real estate. My advice is on a map to draw a
45 degree angle southwest of the doctor's office for heavier
stones, and a ~55-degree angle NE of the 308-g find for the
lighter stuff (that's 55-degrees clockwise from north).

I'll continue to search for better observations that can
yield a more accurate entry angle. We really need a good
observer who had a side view of the event and can tell us
what the slope was like relative to the horizon. --Rob

Re: [meteorite-list] Some meteorite words

2010-01-24 Thread Mike Hankey

This has been a fun post. Kind of reminds me of the meteor limericks
from last summer. Here's a crack at a few (not sure if some of these
are dupes),

MeteorFlight - the path of a meteor as it falls to earth
MeteorHype - what the media does after a public meteor fall
MeteorWiz - Rob Matson
Meteoriteosis - An obsessive psychological disorder for which there is no cure.
MeteorLight - Light put off from a fireball that in some cases can
cast shadows; or what someone sees when they catch meteoriteosis

Thanks,

Mike

 You all know that a meteorwrong is a suspected rock or metal piece that is

 time and was thinking up some new meteorite words to play around with. Kind 
 of a stupid exercise but was fun.

 Meteorwriter: Someone who writes a book or article about meteors/meteorites. 
 Postings in forums don't count.

 Meteorighter: Someone who corrects meteor/meteorite mistakes. Also a 
 meteorite ombudsman.

 Meteorbite: What happens when someone buys their first meteorite, gets hooked 
 and collects more.

 Meteortykes: Newbies (or young kids) collecting or learning about 
 meteors/meteorites.

I couldn't resist, so here are a few more -

Meteorblight - when a meteorite causes reports of sickness, like Carancas.

Condrite - a misrepresented meteorite sold by an unscrupulous dealer.

Loonar - a bogus lunaite offered by some nut who is convinced it is a

with hundreds of photo attachments of his loonars.

Hey Mike,

Three more good ones! I think the Condrite was pretty clever as there are 
plenty of con artists out there!

I couldn't resist, so here are a few more -

Meteorblight - when a meteorite causes reports of sickness, like Carancas.

Condrite - a misrepresented meteorite sold by an unscrupulous dealer.

Loonar - a bogus lunaite offered by some nut who is convinced it is a
real lunar.  A recent example is that guy who bombards list members
with hundreds of photo attachments of his loonars.

MeteorHype - what the media does after a public meteor fall
MeteorWiz - Rob Matson
Meteoriteosis - An obsessive psychological disorder for which there is no

with. Kind of a stupid exercise but was fun.


Meteorwriter: Someone who writes a book or article about 
meteors/meteorites. Postings in forums don't count.


Meteorighter: Someone who corrects meteor/meteorite mistakes. Also a

Meteorbite: What happens when someone buys their first meteorite, gets

Hi,

A correction to this email was pointed out to me off-list:

Marc Fries was the first to use this strategy and has been as willing
as anyone else to share his information within the meteorite
community.

I chose some words poorly and didn't mean to insinuate that there were
not other people out there who could plot strewnfields and meant no
disrespect to Marc or others who have helped plot fields that led to
discoveries or helped with searches in the past. Marc was very helpful
with the PA fall and provided a great deal of information. I'm sure if
he wasn't in Antartica now he would be all over this too.

Thanks,

Mike

 I have plotted the points in Google Earth. You can see some maps and

 Hi Guys,

 I've done some serious data-gathering and number-crunching today to come up
 with a hunting corridor for you. Here are my current best assumptions based
 on witness observations, images of the dust cloud, the impact location, and
 upper atmospheric radiosonde data for the balloon launched from Sterling,
 VA, about an hour after the fall:

 Entry angle: ~55-60 degrees from horizontal (i.e. steep) Flight direction:
 Azimuth +191 (11 degrees west of south) Average wind velocity from 5-16 km
 altitude:  70 knots Average wind direction from 5-16 km altitude:  Az 90
 (east)

 Using an example break-up altitude of 25 km at an initial velocity of 15
 km/sec, the rotation of the strewn field relative to flight direction ends
 up being 40-50 deg clockwise, which is quite significant. Here are where
 masses of various sizes end up, both in Lat/Long and distance/bearing from
 the
 308 g find:

  Mass    Longitude  Latitude  Dist (mi) Bearing
 ---  -    - ---
   3 g    -77.12929  38.73888 5.2  59.3
   5 g    -77.14419  38.73268 4.3  58.7
  15 g    -77.16179  38.72688 3.2  56.0
  40 g    -77.18079  38.71908 2.1  52.6 120 g    -77.19569
 38.71088 1.1  50.6
 (308 g)  -77.21159  38.70068 -0-  N/A 1150 g   -77.22609
 38.69048 1.1 228.0 3750 g   -77.24249  38.67848 2.3 227.4

 The reason the masses aren't round numbers is that my program includes
 ablation, so while the simulated stones started off with nice round numbers
 like 100 g and 1 kg at altitude, the ablated masses are a fraction of the
 original.

 So where are these locations? The 120-gram mass ends up near Rhondda Drive,
 a couple hundred meters NW of Richmond Highway and Telegraph Rd. The 40-gram
 mass ends up on the north end of Ft. Belvoir. The simulated 15-grammer ends
 up on the Ft.
 Belvoir golf course. But 5-gram stones would be off the base to its north,
 north of John J. Kingman Rd. And 3-gram stones end up in the southwest
 corner of Huntley Meadows Park.

 Going in the other direction (heavier masses), the ~1.1 kilo simulated mass
 above ends up very close to I-95, a little west of Morris Ginsberg  Co.
 And the largest mass I ran crosses over to the other side of I-95 on
 Landfill Drive. ;-)

 If you connect all these dots, you should find quite a bit of searchable
 real estate.  My advice is on a map to draw a
 45 degree angle southwest of the doctor's office for heavier stones, and a
 ~55-degree angle NE of the 308-g find for the lighter stuff (that's
 55-degrees clockwise from north).

 I'll continue to search for better observations that can yield a more
 accurate entry angle.  We really need a good observer who had a side view of
 the event and can tell us what the slope was like relative to the horizon.

  of searchable real estate.  My advice is on a map
 to draw a
  45 degree angle southwest of the doctor's office for
 heavier
  stones, and a ~55-degree angle NE of the 308-g find
 for the
  lighter stuff (that's 55-degrees clockwise from
 north).
 
  I'll continue to search for better observations that
 can
  yield a more accurate entry angle.  We really
 need a good
  observer who had a side view of the event and can tell
 us
  what the slope was like relative to the horizon.

[meteorite-list] Marc Fries, Doppler, the Lorton fall, and Meteorite Men

2010-01-24 Thread Rob Matson

Hi All,

I'd like to echo and expand on the comment by the List member
who contacted Mike Hankey:

Marc Fries was the first to use this strategy and has been as
willing as anyone else to share his information within the meteorite
community.

Marc (and his brother) were doing NEXRAD Doppler analysis/interpretation
well before I was, and much of what I've learned came directly through
my e-mail exchanges with him. We are not competitors; we are friends
who have shared theories on at least a half-dozen events for which
radar may (or may not) have been recorded, both for recovered falls
and yet-to-be-recovered ones. Indeed, we expect to co-author a paper
later this year on the use of the WSR-88D (NEXRAD Doppler) network to
assist in the recovery of meteorites from new falls (as well as old
ones).

Mike is quite right that if Marc wasn't currently collecting toaster-
sized meteorites in Antarctica, he would be hard at work on the Lorton
fall as well. Marc's expertise covers not only analysis of Doppler
signals, but also the use of upper atmospheric (radiosonde) wind data
to improve the predictions of meteorite impact points. Marc and I
independently developed wind drift models for transforming bolide
trajectories into simulated strewnfields, and I for one wish he *was*
around to run his model so that we could compare predictions and
add a little confidence to the modeling results.

I got a great laugh from Paul Harris's post about my supposed
prowess at finding meteorites, and his discovery of my secret
for getting them all home! To really appreciate the tongue-in-
cheek humor, you would need to see the sum total of my finds over
the last decade: a tremendous volume that I'm pretty sure could
safely be carried in a single, paper grocery store bag without
ripping.  ;-)  For comparison, it wouldn't surprise me if 90% of
Steve Arnold's finds in Brenham individually outweigh my entire
discovery collection!

Speaking of Steve, I finally got to watch Steve and Geoff's
Meteorite Men pilot which I DVR'd while I was in Hawaii earlier
this month. What a fun show! A great combination of treasure
hunting, humor, science, intrigue and even guest characters
that we all know. If the series is anything like the pilot (and
I suspect it will be even better), I think the Discovery Science
channel will have quite a hit on its hands. Congrats Geoff and
Steve!

Cheers,
Rob

[meteorite-list] A mystery in the making

A mystery in the making


Published: January 23, 2010 12:00 PM

On the morning of Dec. 23, we looked out the window at our frozen pond and saw 
a gaping hole right in the middle. There were absolutely no tracks in the snow 
and the ice is 10-inches thick.

The pond is 80-feet wide and 120-feet long and nobody could possible have 
thrown anything into the middle and break 10 inches of ice. And no tracks.

We didn't take any photos that morning as we were leaving for Fernie to be with 
our family for Christmas.

But the whole time we were away, we kept pondering what could have made that 
hole?

As soon as we returned from Fernie — five days later, we took some photos and 
we are still none the wiser. Could it have been a meteorite?

Did anybody see a flash or ball of fire early on the morning of Dec. 23 over 
Bluenose Mountain in Lavington?

Anybody have any ideas?

Molly and Sandy Boyd

Re: [meteorite-list] D'Orbigny and Hammer Stones Super SALE Ad

2010-01-24 Thread Michael Blood

Fellow Meteorite Enthusiasts,
This is my first SALE since my computer crashed last February.

I have some TERRIFIC specimens today  some marked down so low no one who
wants some of the material will be able to pass it up. SALE prices range
from 25% to 65% off depending on my cost and whether it can be replaced at
any price -   combined with an urgent need for immediate cash.

NOTE: PHENOMENAL DEAL ON D'ORBIGNY!

All hammer specimens are from  the Hammer Stone, itself, not just
The hammer fall.

I must raise money immediately, so, if you want something you would
otherwise pass on, you can even make me an offer. Though I have set prices
so LOW already, if no one buys a particular item before Tuesday, I will
consider offers tendered.

First to contact me will get the specimen, so, if you have 2 of the
same type, please mention first preference as well as others you would take,
if any. 
 
THOSE WHO MUST COPY/PASTE  All photos can be
seen at: http://news.webshots.com/album/576346410QQIRJq

All others  click on individual photo listings below for largest photos:

BOVEDY April 25, 1969   (L3)  Londonderry, N. Ireland Crashed through a
STORE ROOF.
The fireball was mostly described as blue-green in colour over Wales, and
fiery-white in Northern Ireland, with a brightness equal to or brighter
than the full moon. Everyone who saw the meteoroid also saw a very clear
tail in its wake. Fragmentation was clearly seen by a number of observers.
Subsequent press reports of scorching of the asbestos roof and desks in the
immediate vicinity of the meteorite fragments have been discounted, from
the evidence collected.
This being a hammer with a very low TKW, a beautiful(L3) AND only the

ASH CREEK HAMMER STONE  Hit HOUSE
When the meteorite fell, a man sitting at his kitchen table heard something
strike his roof. He thought it was a small tree limb. However, when he went
out to his car, there was a black stone, which upon closer examination was
engrained with shingle grit from his roof. He later found the damaged
shingle on the roof and had to replace it.

Hello List

set up.

them.

Hi All,

A Tucson question.

Several mineral/gem dealers in Tucson only sell to the trade I have
noticed on other visits.

Can anyone advise on what trade documentation you need to show in 
order

to purchase from them.

Cheers,

Graham, UK

Re: [meteorite-list] A Tucson Question.

2010-01-24 Thread Michael Blood

Hi Graham,
If you are in the US, most states charge sales tax and,
Therefore have a resale permit that dealers carry around.
(One exception I KNOW of is Oregon).
In any event, everyone who REQUIRES wholesale buyers
ONLY have forms for you to fill out. (If not, tell them you are
From the UK and the UK does not have resale permits or licenses
And THEY should have a form for you to fill out).
Best wishes, Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Fwd: First cut at wind-shifted, predicted impact coordinates

Absolutely! I can't wait till the next Aussie meteor is captured on film. If 
Rob can't track it down... no one can! ;-)


Cheers,

Jeff

You're right about that, Mike.  Rob is a veritable genius at this, and his 
(and another personal friend and List member's ) unselfish  willingness to 
share their radar/etc. work is much appreciated!


Sincerely,

Rob is the only person I know of who is qualified to do this type of
work and willing to share it with the meteorite community. Rob's work
has been instrumental in numerous meteorite discoveries and we all owe
him a debt of gratitude.
