I thought so by looking at it I figured it was a Howardite or polymicht
Eucrite.. I think Howardites are my favorite out of the HEDO group, BTW. :)

Dear List,
According to a post in the Orilla Packet and Times (posted about 1 hour ago), a
car was struck by a iron meteor/ite while driving down highway. Links; text
and photo are at:

Hi List,
Thanks for the link.
I hope the NASA-trained expert they interviewed isn't the one who
came up with re-entry erosion in reference to fusion crust.
The photo is not working in the link I tried. But without seeing it,
the description sounds dubious and I think the driver/finder is

Greetings Collectors and Listees
I have a Martian meteorite display closing on eBay in less than 4
hours. The bidding is still very tame at less than $5, so there is
the potential for a bargain here. Market prices on Martians has been
dropping lately, and anyone who follows the bidding on

Question: Is this something new? Or has this been happening since the
beginning of our solar system and we're just now tuning in to the show?

It's always happened. It must have happened much more at times in the past
when the comet influx was greater. As you note, we're just catching more now
because we have instruments continually monitoring the Sun.

So basically, like the asteroid collision in the asteroid belt a while
back. That's the first time it was ever viewed, but we've known it
happens, hence one source of the meteorites we love so much. ;)
Oh yeah one more closing thought... That comet that just smashed the
Sun. Why didn't we see
Hello Anne, All,
This is actually an endcut of Zacatecas (1969). We had a thread about
the confusion regarding these two irons several months ago; the two
irons are very distinct, namely because the second mass of the 1969
iron was significantly recrystalized.

Jason

While Kreutz sungrazers constitute a recent population in geological terms,
it seems highly likely that there have always been sungrazer subpopulations.
You might go a few thousand years with low activity, and a few thousand with
higher activity. And within those periods there will be
Hello list,
If you have an iphone you can get the 3D SUN app and it will alert you to
everything being discussed. I had this video and information last night when
the app let me know it was available.
Too bad there isn't any meteorite apps available yet.

Hi Rob, Thanks...
;) Point taken... Your point about the sungrazers is a perfect example
of what I'm referring to. I was being more general in my question about
comets. Specifically the Kreutz comets couldn't be the first (maybe
first observed), nor the last to be obliterated by the Sun. The

I agree completely. The best reasoning is that it hardly seems likely that
a burst of sungrazers would occur at precisely
In this case, it was definitely a Kreutz. Correct location and direction
of motion in the SOHO LASCO fields of view, as well as the correct
velocity.
Thanks. I haven't read much additional news besides what was on
Spaceweather.com (but I haven't looked too hard, either g.)

Hi Eric and List,
Eric asked: how come we didn't see them before they were gobbled up?
If the sun's disk had not been blocked in the image you gave us the link of,
we / you wouldn't have seen it at all. The sun's glare would have hidden it
from our view.
Best wishes,

I believe my vehicle was struck by 2 small meteorites yesterday. I was
driving North on interstate 39. I heard a big Bang, bang.. Then saw white dust
where the 2 pieces hit, one cracked the windshield and left a little black mark
and the other just left some white/grey powder/dust. I
Hi Mike and List,
I think I speak for many others on the List when I say that your
specimens and preparation are top notch. I have spent the last two
days slicing and polishing some stony chondrites, and it's been a lot
of work - it's been fun, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else,
but it's
I second Mike G's sentiment regarding Mike M's preparation.
As most of you know, Mike has been the one cutting the 200 gram Brenham I am
selling slices of. With every shipment I am gobsmacked at how well they are
prepared in terms of parallel cuts, mirror polish, etching, and
preservation. I

Dear List,
More news:
the Grove Mountains area teams
collected 1,618 meteorites, weighing 17 kg. So far, China has a
number of Antarctic meteorites totaling 11,452,
ranking third in the world after the Japanese and Americans
