Hi Mike, >So, is there a C3? The Bulletin Database has 12 (not pairing-adjusted) "C3-ungrouped" entries. Most prominent should be Ningqiang, which was first a CV3, than a CK3 (some intermediates between CVs and CKs, you have with Tanezrouft 057 and NWA 2900) and which is now a C3-ungr. Well and else... we have that stone, http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/nwa5377-6.671g.jpg which was preliminarily classified as a C3 (without "ungr").

[meteorite-list] Four small problems, Ron
Hi Ron, all - First off, congratulations Count. Now to the matter at hand. I see where all the experts got together and decided that an asteroid impact at Chicxulub killed the dinosaurs. The first problem is that it was a COMET that hit, not an asteroid, and we have a sample of it, which you can see by image googling "kt-fossil". Second, it was the impact of multiple comet fragments: http://www.depts.ttu.edu/vpr/dinosaurs.php http://www.depts.ttu.edu/gesc/Fac_pages/... (By the way, it may be that oil gathers in the cracks caused by impact: Chicxulub responsible for Mexican, Venezeulan and Texas oil? and Shiva responsible for Saudi, Iraq, and Iranian oil? and Ukraine responsible for Baku oil? Only the oil companies know for sure.) The Chicxulub impact intensified the anti-podal Deccan Trap eruption, and then the Shiva impact set it off full bore, not to mention the small Ukrainian impact somewhere in there. So that's the four small problems, and maybe number 5. good hunting, all E.P.

[meteorite-list] Dinosaurs rocked!
Unless they were iced... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/04/BAFS1CADDJ.DTL Settled: Dinosaurs done in by asteroid David Perlman, Chronicle Science Editor Thursday, March 4, 2010 (03-04) 15:09 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- What killed off all the dinosaurs? Thirty years ago, UC Berkeley geologist Walter Alvarez offered his revolutionary answer to that question and incited one of the liveliest controversies in modern science. Now an international team of scientists will report Friday that the issue is settled: Alvarez was right. In 1980, Alvarez and his colleagues at Berkeley theorized that a monstrous asteroid 10 miles wide slammed into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and dug a crater 60 miles wide and 15 miles deep. The impact sent up a huge cloud of ash, soot, pulverized rock and sulfurous steam that darkened the skies for years like a nuclear winter, dooming more than half the world's life on land and in the oceans - microorganisms, plants and animals. The dinosaurs, those iconic beasts that had ruled the world for 160 million years, also vanished in that long-lasting cataclysm, the Alvarez team maintained. They found worldwide layers of clay containing the rare metallic element iridium that was scattered by the crashing asteroid; they found the crater caused by the asteroid impact just off the Yucatan Peninsula at Chicxulub (pronounced Chic-shoo-loob); and they found tiny spherules of shocked quartz both inside the crater and far beyond the crash site, from Australia to Europe. Scores of other scientists have found supporting evidence over the past three decades and estimated that the asteroid impact set off earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 11 -inconceivably greater than the quakes that have hit Chile and Haiti. The volcano theory But there are disbelievers among other respected scientists who insist that violent volcanic eruptions, not asteroids, caused what was one of the worst mass extinctions in the world's history. Huge layers of volcanic rocks a mile thick and covering nearly 200,000 square miles are still evidence of those eruptions in an area of India known as the Deccan Traps, they say. In Friday's report in the journal Science 41 noted scientists from a wide array of disciplines declare that those espousing the volcano theory are wrong; Alvarez and his team were right, they say. The scientists work in every known discipline - geophysics, paleontology, climatology, geochemistry, microbiology, zoology, botany and more. They have re-worked the Alvarez team's findings, gathered new evidence and agree on their conclusions. In an e-mail interview Thursday, the leader of the group, Peter Shulte, said the Chicxulub crater and its global distribution of shocked quartz form the "fingerprint" backing the asteroid theory, and that the Deccan volcanism actually started 700,000 before the mass extinction occurred. The asteroid, he said, struck a sulfate-rich area that released masses of deadly sulfur aerosols "leading to rapid darkness and cooling of the Earth." "We conclude that a single impact was the ultimate cause for the mass extinctions," said Shulte, a geophysicist at the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg. Kirk Johnson, a paleobotanist at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science who was one of the journal authors, said of Alvarez and his many colleagues: "They got it right; it was an inspired body of work." Scientist unconvinced But Gerta Keller, a Princeton paleontologist and geochemist who is a leading expert on global catastrophes and mass extinctions and a supporter of the Deccan Traps theory, is not convinced. She argued in an interview this week that her team's evidence shows that the Chicxulub impact occurred at least 300,000 years before the start of the mass extinction; that the scientists responsible for Friday's Science article ignored and misrepresented her group's evidence about the timing and effect of the Deccan volcanism. Those volcanoes, she said, emitted 30 times more global life-killing sulfur fumes than any asteroid impact could; that 30 pulses of eruptions and lava flows caused the mass extinction; and that the asteroid impact, whenever it happened, caused no extinctions at all nor any change in the world's climate or environment. The real evidence for the mass extinction and the death of the dinosaurs still lies in the vast basalts of the Deccan volcanoes, Keller insisted. Now Alvarez has moved on to bigger things since he and his team published their theories and added more details to support it. But Friday's report pleases him greatly, he said. "It's wonderful to see that our work is vindicated by such a large collection of the very top people in all those fields," he said in an interview. "It's gratifying indeed, but I've moved away from my love of geology these days, and I'm interested in what we call Big History now - the entire history of the cosmos, Earth, life and humanity. What a wonderful class to teach!" __

[meteorite-list] Very good newspaper article on the Duluth fireball
http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/162010/group/home/ Fireball over Duluth! Were you one of the lucky ones to see the brilliant, flaming object plunge over the region about 7:15 p.m. last night? People all the way from Cook County along Lake Superior's North Shore to Duluth to the Spooner area in northern Wisconsin all reported seeing what appears to be the same object. Audrey Monicken, who lives on Park Point, said she was watching TV when she caught the sight. "I saw a flaming thing come down out of the sky," she said, and described the object as about the size of a mattress with red flames. >From her vantage point, Monicken said the object seemed to disappear in the middle of the bay. Then we have this description from Wendy Hamm: "My daughter and I were driving across the Bong Bridge (heading to Superior) when we saw the object in the sky which was on its way down (large, green with red on the bottom and the size of an average round dinner table). It appeared to land in the water/ice in between the Bong Bridge and railroad bridge or possibly where the old Arrowhead Bridge was located. Someone might want to check that area out. And I thought objects from space always landed in the ocean!!" Brad Wick with the Duluth Police Department checked with the Duluth International Airport in case the object was a plane in distress, but no planes were in the area at the time. So what was it? The most likely explanation is a brilliant meteor called a fireball. In a lifetime you might see a half dozen of these spectacular sights, but they occur somewhere over Earth every day and night. Every meteor or "shooting star" you see is a fragment of a comet or asteroid. The small ones might only be the size of grain of sand, but the larger ones like last night's can range from pebble-sized to many meters. While still in outer space, fragments destined to become a meteors are called meteoroids. When they enter Earth's atmosphere at speeds from 25,000 to 160,000 mph, they vaporize in a bright flash, creating a brilliant trail we see as a meteor. Because they're so bright and with no ready clues to their true distance, we're usually tricked into thinking meteors are very close by. If one happens to fade out over your downtown you might think it fell on Main Street. In reality meteors burn up some 70 miles over our heads -- and that's if you see one straight up at the top of the sky. If you're watching a fireball off in one direction or another, you have to add in the horizontal distance between you and the object. A more typical distance between you and a bright meteor would be closer to a hundred miles or more. If a meteor is large enough to survive the friction and pressure of atmospheric entry and lands in pieces on the ground it's called a meteorite. A meteor destined to become a meteorite usually fades out about 30 miles above the ground and continues in "dark fall" until it strikes the ground. The larger the object falling, the more likely it will create a sonic boom or rumblings like cannon fire on its way down. Did anyone out there hear anything at the time? Could fragments have reached the ground? Unless someone actually sees and hears the objects falling nearby, chances are that this meteor -- if it did produce meteorites -- will be extremely difficult to find. Most fireballs produce a great show but vaporize to dust. Given the vast surface area of the Earth, meteorites land with regularity, but actual witnessed meteorite falls are uncommon. On average meteorites from falls are recovered only about five to ten times a year. Let's assume for a moment that last night's fireball made it all the way down. How would we go about finding it? We'd have to gather many eyewitness reports of brightness, time and direction of travel and then triangulate a possible fall location. Meteorite hunters would then "work" the area with their eyes and metal detectors to look for fresh, black, rounded and fragmented rocks. The black coating on a fresh meteorite is called fusion crust and the result of frictional heating during its plummit through the atmosphere. Fusion crust is only a couple millimeters thick; the inside of the meteorite still holds onto the chill of outer space. Most meteorites contain iron-nickel metal which a properly tuned metal detector can detect. Another more recent technique is using Doppler weather radar to pick up the dust and debris trail from a falling meteor. Precise data like that is invaluable in helping to pinpoint the fall location. Doppler was used to help find last year's well-publicized Ash Creek fall last February near West, Texas. Needless to say, it's a lot easier to find meteorite fragments if you're searching farm fields and open prairie than a region covered by forests and lakes! All this time I've been talking meteor fragments but there's also the small possibility the flaming object was a piece of manmade space junk. I haven't seen any postings on a listserv on the s

Hi Zelimir and List! Now that I look closely (on David Weir's site), I see that the CM3 class is tenative and is probably not official nomenclature yet.

[meteorite-list] Science Team Says Giant Meteorite, Not Volcanoes, Killed Dinosaurs
http://www.psi.edu/press/ SCIENCE TEAM SAYS GIANT METEORITE, NOT VOLCANOES, KILLED DINOSAURS Ed Stiles Public Information Office Planetary Science Institute 520-248-7119 psin...@psi.edu March 4, 2010 - A team of scientists, including Elisabetta Pierazzo, a senior scientist at the Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute, has concluded that a giant meteorite impact is still the best explanation for the disappearance of dinosaurs and many other species 65.5 million years ago. The 41 scientists, from Europe, Mexico, Canada, Japan and the United States, published their results today in the highly respected scientific journal Science, concluding that alternative hypotheses are inadequate in explaining the abrupt mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period. Scientists refer to this point in the geologic record as the K/Pg boundary, and attribute it to extreme climate change caused by the Chicxulub (Chick-shuh-loob) meteorite impact. Pierazzo, who began modeling the impact as a Ph.D. student, was the first scientist to develop high-resolution, 3-D simulations of the Chicxulub event as an oblique impact. This work was done in collaboration with David Crawford, of Sandia National Laboratory. The results clearly showed that the effects on Earth's climate were even more dramatic than had been previously hypothesized. The simulation showed huge amounts of sulfur oxides were ejected into the upper atmosphere, drastically altering the Earth's climate. However, some scientists have disputed the Chicxulub hypothesis, attributing the climate change and mass extinctions to volcanic activity in the Deccan Traps, an area on the Indian subcontinent. They theorize that global cooling and acid rain resulting from this volcanic activity were the major cause of mass extinctions, not the Chicxulub impact in Mexico. "Large amounts of sulfur oxides were injected into the atmosphere during the Deccan volcanism," Pierazzo said. "But they were distributed in several pulses that extended over several hundred thousand years before - and after - the K/Pg boundary. Yet, the major, large biotic changes at the end of the Cretaceous era appear to have happened abruptly and exactly at the K/Pg boundary, when Chicxulub hit." Marine and terrestrial ecosystems showed only minor changes during the 500,000 years leading up to the K/Pg boundary, the researchers conclude in the Science article. But an abrupt and major decrease in the mass of living things and species diversity occurs precisely at the boundary. This data, along with new data derived from ocean drilling samples and continental sites, as well as reanalysis of previous K/Pg boundary studies, leads the research team to conclude that the Chicxulub impact hypothesis has grown stronger than ever. "Combining all available data from different science disciplines led us to conclude that a large asteroid impact 65 million years ago in modern-day Mexico was the major cause of the mass extinctions," says Peter Schulte, assistant professor at the University of Erlangen in Germany and lead author of the review paper. According to analysis of the Chicxulub crater in Yucatan, Mexico and other data from the geologic record, scientists conclude that the meteorite was between 10 and 15 kilometers in diameter and hit Earth at a speed 20 times faster than a rifle bullet. The resulting explosion was a billion times larger than the Hiroshima atomic bomb and a million times larger than the biggest nuclear bomb ever tested. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] TKW of all known lunar meteorites?
Greetings listees, Can anyone tell me what the TKW (total known weight) of all lunar meteorites? At last count (using Dr. Korotev's listing) there are 66 lunars (counting all pairings once for their respective find), but I don't have a TKW. I guess I could sit and add them all up, but I was hoping someone would already know or could point me to a web link with the info. Best regards and thanks in advance, MikeG PS - if anyone happens to have a TKW for all Martian meteorites, please share that was well. :) -- Mike Gilmer - Galactic Stone & Ironworks Meteorites http://www.galactic-stone.com http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Way To Go Count!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings Count and List, What a great account. I am going to save that post. I can only imagine the rush of endorphins and adrenaline that must have resulted from realizing the portion you found was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. :) Yes, AFAIK, that is one of the biggest meteorites pulled out of that area. Sonny probably knows. You may have a new main mass on your hands! Best regards and happy huntings!

Re: [meteorite-list] Way To Go Count!!!!!!!!!!
Alexander Seidel and List, Alexander asked that I share with him and the List the personal experience of having my first find be such a remarkable specimen. I am told by those who should know that this chondrite is the largest intact specimen so far found in Nevada. I would ask the List if this is so. Here's an account for those who wish to read about a "newbie" finding his first metorite. I began to study meteorites about a year ago as a diversion to take my mind off the two years of radiation and chemo treatments I had been undergoing for stage IV metastized cancer. I had responded well for a 72 year old and was in remission. I needed some new pursuit to get my mental and physical health back. Little did I know that I was about to catch another disease..and this one incurable...the obsession with meteorites. After purchasing some sixty different types and classifications, a stereo scope and a cabinet for comparison purposes ...and reading numerous posts on List and dozens of papers, attending Tucson... putting faces on all whom I had met online... I decided I was ready to go into the field. I was fortunate to have made acquaintance with Sonny Clary who lives nearby. He had become my mentor, given me samples and shown me some pointers on hunting by taking me on a short local trip to look at an area of interest. We spent maybe two hours in the field. Sonny moves quickly, his acute vision and experience letting him cover a lot of ground in very little time. I found I was more comfortable going my own way and not slowing him up. Neither he, nor I, found anything. I have four grandsons and I spent a few hours in some vacant fields in Las Vegas throwing down weathered samples and demonstrating to them the use of the cane and detector. Ten year old , Vincent, was fascinated. The others non-plussed. Night before last, May 2nd., Sonny called late and invited me to spend my first full day hunting an area he felt was promising several hours away. We met at his home and loaded up the gear, food and water. Brix, his super Alsatian, whined excitedly knowing we were going on a hunt. Sonny has trained Brix to the point that the dog will bring him rocks in the field. No meteorites yet...but it will happen. We arrived in the desert around nine o'clock. The temperature was a pleasant 67 degrees under clear skies and no wind. We saddled up and agreed as to which way each of us would go. Sonny took off to the left and I to the right. Within minutes we were out of sight of each other. We did have a means of communicating electronically in the event of an emergency. Both of us are Nevadans and have spent years in the desert hunting game, Sonny meteorites and in my case, before it became illegal, early man artifacts. After several hours with no luck, we met back at the truck and traveled two miles north on the valley floor. After another hour or two of nothing but meteor wrongs picked up from the desert pavement, Sonny decided to expand our search area again several miles west. This time we were on excellent ground. Flat, with very little organic growth and hardly any rocks at all. If they were here, the meteorites would stand out prominently. Again, Sonny strode off northwest with Brix roaming in front of him. Brix has received snake avoidance training and a good thing, because the rattlers, including the feared "Mohave Green", are coming out of their dens this time of year to warm themselves, and shed their winter skin, making them ill tempered and aggressive. Sonny hunted with no assistance from cane, or detector. I used my staff with a circular neodymium magnet screwed on the end. I followed Sonny to the west, deciding to make the first leg of my search into the reduced visibility of the sun, so I could make the other two half mile legs with the sun at my side and rear to highlight the ground and prevent squinting. I have special tinted prescription glasses that provide some UV protection, reduce eye strain and sharpen the field of view. Sonny and Brix were quickly out of sight. About an hour and a half into things and while walking forward a few paces at a 45 degree angle to the left and then to the right, my scan picked up an irregular shape 50' to my right. It was so out of place as to shape and color that I knew immediately it was a possible. I turned and walked toward it. As I got within a few yards I could see that it had the familiar dark desert patination that I had studied on my Gold Basin samples. It was a three inch high tip sticking out of the ground like a triangular iceberg. I started to laugh out loud as I walked around it in a tight circle. Taking my cane, I carefully placed it close along side dangling it loosely between two fingers. Nevada chondrites tend to have low metal. The cane moved slowly against the rock. So subtle was it's movement that I didn't immediately believe it and had to do the exercise all around the tip. Each tim

[meteorite-list] Northland residents report flaming object in the sky
Any more information on this one? Greg S. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/161921/ Northland residents report flaming object in the sky Several Northland residents reported seeing a flaming object in the sky about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday. Audrey Monicken, who lives on Duluth’s Park Point, said she was watching television when she caught the sight. “I saw a flaming thing come down out of the sky,” she said. She described the object as about the size of a mattress with red flames, and said that it came down at an angle out of the sky. From her vantage facing the harbor, Monicken said the object seemed to disappear in the middle of the bay. Brad Wick, a public information officer for the Duluth Police Department, said dispatch received a handful of calls from people who reported a fiery object in the sky. One person thought an aircraft had crashed into the lake, but Wick said a call to the air traffic control tower at Duluth International Airport indicated there was no sign of an airplane in the area or in distress at the time of the sighting. The Duluth Police Department also received an inquiry about a flaming object in the sky from the Cook County emergency dispatch. The National Weather Service in Duluth also received a report from a Washburn County resident in the Spooner area, who described seeing a fireball that traversed the horizon about the same time Wednesday night. Tom Lonka, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said it’s possible the two reports could be explained by a meteorite or a piece of “space junk,” such as an old satellite, entering the Earth’s atmosphere. He said such events are not that rare, and the Weather Service receives occasional calls about similar sightings. _ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469230/direct/01/ __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

I have made corrections and the revised list is presented below : Carbonaceous Chondrites : CI (Ivuna) CM1 (Mighei) CM2 (subdivided into CM2.0 to CM2.6) CM3 CO3 (Ornans) (subdivided into CO3.03 to CO3.7) CV (Vigarano) (also CV2 and CV3) CK (Karoonda) (CK4, CK5, CK6) CR (Renazzo) (CR1, CR2, CR3) CB (Bencubbin) CH CR ungrouped C4 ungrouped C ungrouped Ordinary Chondrites : Rumuruti R3 (subdivided into R3.5-6 to R3.9) R4 R5 R6 LL (subdivided into LL3.0 to LL3.9) LL4 LL5 LL5/6 LL6 LL6/7 LL7 LL impact melt LL transitional (L/LL3 to L/LL6) L (subdivided into L3.0 to L3.9) L4 L5 L6 L6/7 L7 L impact melt H/L transitional (H/L3 to H/L6 IMB, H/L3.6 to H/L3-4) H (subdivided into H3.0 to H3.9) H4 H5 H6 H7 H impact melt ungrouped ordinary chondrites Enstatite Chondrites : EL (EL3 to EL7) EL impact melt EH/L EH (EH3 to EH7) EH impact melt ungrouped enstatite chondrites K (Kakangari) Meta-chondrites (M-CV, M-CR, M-H, M-LL) Primitive Chondrites : Acapulcoite Lodranite Winonaites ungrouped primitive chondrites Achondrites : Howardite (subdivided into fragmental breccia and regolith breccia) Eucrite (monomict and polymict with each having subclasses) Diogenite (monomict and polymict) Olivine Diogenite Dunite Ureilite (monomict and polymict) Martian achondrites : Shergottite Pyroxene-phyric basaltic shergottite Olivine-phyric basaltic shergottite Olivine-orthopyroxene-phyric basaltic shergottite Pyroxene-peridotitic (Wehrlitic) shergottite Lherzolitic shergottite Diabasic shergottite Nakhlite Chassignite Orthopyroxenite (ALH 84001) Lunar Achondrites : Feldspathic breccias Regolith breccia Fragmental breccia Impact melt breccia Granulitic breccia Mafic-rich Thorium-rich KREEP-rich Mingled Breccia Mare Basalt Other Achondrites : Angrites (Plutonic and Basaltic) Brachinite Aubrite ungrouped achondrites (Ibitira, Pasamonte, etc) Stony-Irons : Mesosiderites (1A,1B,2A,2B,2C,3A,3B,4A,4B) ungrouped mesosiderites Pallasites (Main Group, Eagle Station group, Pyroxene group) Pallasite-am (anomalous, PMG-am, PMG-as) ungrouped pallasites Iron meteorites : Note, iron meteorites are a can of worms. I will only focus on the main chemical groups, and not the various grouplets and sub-types of each main chemical group. Also note that many of these types include silicated varities. Listing all of the known sub-types of irons would require a LONG list resembling a flow-chart.

Greetings Count: I must say I was impressed by the Romanesque mosaic on your summer home basement floor, and the fact that your dad was once married to Mae West, but this historical find is truly and amazingly impressive! Pound for pound, so far for this year, you're one of the top meteorite hunters in the world! Thanks for sharing your find with those of us who can only dream of such a thing! Again, kudos and congrats on your incredible find.

[meteorite-list] Really Impressive Count!
I've searched for years in Ohio (which is a double whammy to finding something) and would be more than pleased with a few grams. You found one weighing in pounds! I wouldn't cut it up or part with that for anything. Congratulations Count. Remember you need to spend some time at home also rather than out in the field...

Re: [meteorite-list] I hate Count (Guido) Diero ! : )
Sonny and Count, First, thanks to Sonny for sharing this exciting news with us all. I Love to see pictures of people finding meteorites ( well... mostly when its pictures of ME finding meteorites ... but this is the next best thing ! ;-) Also thanks to Sonny for helping to give a fellow meteorite lover an increased chance to experience that thrill of discovery. Second, although I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, Count, its obvious from all the nice comments about you from ALL these posts about you and your find, that it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. A great big CONGRATS from me as well, and I look forward to hopefully having the pleasure of meeting you some day soon. Good luck in all future hunts! You're off to a GREAT start!
