Ugh,

Do we actually talk about meteorites on here anymore?

Everyone sit down and pee. Someone call a whabulance and lets move on.

If we can't, that's fine too. I'm not the boss. I can find some other 
forum that won't make me feel like I'm watching the script to a bad soap 
opera.

[meteorite-list] AD - Super Auctions Ending Today - MUST SEE!

2010-05-04 Thread Adam Hupe
Dear List Members,
 
Please take a look at this week's auction, you will not be disappointed. I 
loaded extra large pieces of very rare material including large Lunar and 
Martian specimens and started them out at just 99 cents.  I also loaded 
many world class specimens with the buy-it-now or make offer options enabled.  
This is a rare opportunity to pick up larger pieces before they are broken 
down.  It is rare to see multi-gram planetary pieces listed on eBay.  Many of 
the auctions do not have an opening bid yet so somebody is going to walk away 
with some true bargains this afternoon. 

Please take a look if you have time.

All Auctions Can Be Found 
At This link:

Thank 
you for looking and if you are bidding, good luck.

 Meteorite Victims Will Receive Aids

 BERITAJAKARTA.COM - 5/4/2010 5:08:46 PM


 Explosion incident due to meteorite destroying three houses in 
neighborhood unit (RT) 1 community unit (RW) 5 Malakasari, Durensawit, East 
Jakarta has cause deep condolence from Jakarta Administration.


 To alleviate the victims` suffering, Jakarta Administration will give 
aids in the form of building material to rebuild the three houses that 
shattered on Tuesday (4/29). The aids collected by Jakarta Social Services 
and East Jakarta Administration will be given through the local village 
head.


 Jakarta Head of Social Services, Budiharjo, said there is a 
verification team which will collect data of all the damaged buildings and 
note the necessary materials to rebuild the houses belonging to Sudarmojo, 
Kusnadi, and Subari Marjuki.


 We budget fund worth Rp 10 million, but all funds in the form of 
building material such as cement, sand, and others, said Budiharjo.


 The same thing also stated by East Jakarta Mayor, Murdhani. Aids for 
the house owners are in the form of building materials. His side has also 
provided money worth Rp 5 million from East Jakarta Islamic Charitable 
Indonesian Board (BAZIS) which was allocated for the victims.


 The aids from Jakarta Administration are welcomed by the victims. 
Because, since the explosion occurred and destroyed those three houses 
located Jl Delima 6, the owners have stayed in their relatives.

[meteorite-list] Guess the WI fall type - Based on other recent falls

2010-05-04 Thread Galactic Stone Ironworks
Hi Listees,

With no official word yet on the petrologic type of the new Wisconsin
meteorite, does anyone want to guess what the final type will be?

We know it is a brecciated ordinary chondrite, but is it an L6, L5, or ...?

Listed below are the types of the known falls since the year 2000.
The type is listed and then how many of that type have fallen.  If
only the type is listed, then that type has fallen only once since
2000.

You will notice that there is an overwhelming majority of certain OC
types and only one iron.

CM2
CO3.6
CV3
C2-ung
EL6
L5 : three
L5/6
L5-6
L6 : eight
LL5
LL6 : five
H/L4
H3.8
H3-5 : two
H4 : two
H4-5 : two
H4/5 : two
H5 : twelve
H5/6

Eucrite : five
Iron IIE-an

The full chart with individual fall dates, types, and locations can be
found here - http://www.galactic-stone.com/pages/falls

Best regards and happy huntings (and collectings!),

[meteorite-list] Tally of WI fall masses

2010-05-04 Thread Matson, Robert D.
Hi All,

In the interest of trying to estimate the TKW of the SW Wisconsin fall,
I've gone back through all the Met-List posts, RFSPOD images, newspaper
stories, web-based articles, and anything else public I could find to
generate a rough stone tally. Obviously this is far from a complete
list, and in many cases I don't know the masses of particular finds --
only that a find exists. I'm sure others here can help filling in the
blanks, adding stones that I've missed, or correcting information where
my data is bad or incomplete.  The finds below are alphabetical by
finder name (when known); unknown finder names are at the end.

Steve Arnold:  176.1g
Larry Atkins:  at least one find (Ref: RFSPD 4/25)
Karl Aston: 160.7g
Jim Baxter: 152g, 20g, + 1 more
Bren (farmer's wife): ~100g
Sonny Clary:  205.6g (Brix find), 144g, 16.8g
Michael Cottingham: 51g (hammer)
Mike Farmer:  131g, 36g, 20g, 17g
Ruben Garcia: 25g, 9.2g, 7.7g, + others?
Mark Hirsch:  at least one find
Mark Hugill:  11g (purchased by Terry Boudreaux)
Greg Hupe:  33.7g
Joe Kerchner: 332g
Bill Kies:  38g, 44g, + others
Marvin Killgore:  ~300g
Jackson McCluskey:  35g
Mike Miller:  7.7g, 9.6g, + at least 2 more
Stan (last name?): 21g
Todd Parker: 108g
Dave Schultz:  20g + ~25g?
Wade (farmer):  7.5g initial hammer find sent to UW
Robert Ward:  2 finds (masses unknown)
Rob Wesel: 219.2g
Eric Wichman:  14.5g, 19.9g, 18.3g, + others?
Robert Woolard:  3.2g

Iowa-Grant schoolgirl:  1 find, mass unknown
Sister of Ashley Liddicoat:  1 find, mass unknown

Total # of stones: 44+
TKW of stones above w/known masses: 2539.7g

Re: [meteorite-list] Tally of WI fall masses

2010-05-04 Thread Alexander Seidel
Most interesting, Robert, thank you! Then again, there may be a lot of 
(unknown) people who have not reported their grand totals in finds so far, and 
last but not least I imagine quite a big load of stones may still be resting 
there in that supposedly long strewn field, awaiting their finder one of these 
days...

From my (geographically far-away) point of perspective, what I found 
especially nice to read was that the cooperation with the farmers seems to be 
good. The people there in Wisconsin seem to be friendly, and so it generally 
seems to be an overall good hunting atmosphere. Which, while reading all those 
different posts, does not in any case (unfortunately), but should generally 
reflect itself on this forum.

A special question: are there farmers who strictly oppose scanning their land? 
I mean, who better want to get out for a search by themselves alone and find 
something, or just opposing any search by outsiders for reasons whatever (..may 
be bad experiences with hunters on their land, or may be an attitude of not 
being interested in all of this hype?).

Seems to be a very nice brecciated meteorite visually, by the way!

Good luck to the potential finders,
Alex
Berlin/Germany

2010-05-04 Thread Robert Woolard
Hey Rob,

  Thanks for taking-the-time to put this-tentative-tally-together (how's that 
for a bit of alliteration?). 

  But hey... I've got a reputation to maintain here. My previous post said 
... ONE of my finds was probably THE smallest meteorite found there. I found 
it within my first 3 hrs hunting, but that 3.2gramer wasn't the only one I 
found. Heck, I found one almost FOUR times that big! (OK, so it was only 3.6875 
times as big, weighing a wrist-breaking 11.8g   ;-(
  And Jerry found one at ~ 5grams.  We wanted to let others find the big ones. 
Wasn't that nice of us?  

  Thanks again,
  Robert Woolard

[meteorite-list] only one piece left of WI slices

I have only one 3.6 g pt slice with crust, it is beautiful.
Some are on hold awaiting payment, but they are all spoken for except the 3.6g 
slice.
I am surprised it is one of the best looking pieces I had available, really 
thin with lots of surface area.
Here is the link to see pics of it.

[meteorite-list] ISO - video from WI fall for school presentation on Fri needed.

2010-05-04 Thread Greg Catterton
I have been asked to speak at my daughters school on Friday about meteorites.
With the public attention the WI fall has brought, they thought the students 
would enjoy it.

I am looking for some good quality footage of the WI fireball to use on a TV to 
give the kids something to think about when they get to hold what they just saw 
on TV.
I will be making a DVD of this, I have been working on it, but the video 
footage is only about PC quality. 

Anyone have anything better I can use?
I can process any video file format.

I need it for Friday and will need at least a day to do the editing and produce 
a final copy.

Thanks in advance.

  I have spoke at 3 schools in the past week. I think mendota is going to 
have hundreds of little meteorite hunters and collectors. There is going to be 
an article in Meteorite times about my hunt and my school presintations, and 
pics of it all to, not 100% sure what all is going to be in the article just 
yet or what photos are going to be used, but cant wait to get it done and be 
able to see it. My kids are going to think I'm famous, it is a really cool 
thing. The whole experience from this fall has literally changed my life in a 
few ways, the $$ is not one, it is bigger than that. I made great friends with 
guys that I idolized, and made some really good connections and even got a job 
oppurtunity out of it.
All the kids were really excited to hold a piece of an asteroid and 
something older than Earth. They were amazed that they actually came to outer 
space and landed here on earth.
 One of the 2nd grade girls was naming off meteorites. She asked me about 
the Tuscon Ring, my jaw dropped. She actually knew quite a bit about 
meteorites. That was really cool. I was blown away.
Good luck with the kids, they are all going to be interested, even more than 
you know.


 Best Wishes,
Joe Kerchner

Subject: [meteorite-list] ISO - video from WI fall for school presentation on 
Fri needed.

I have been asked to speak at my daughters school on Friday about meteorites.
With the public attention the WI fall has brought, they thought the students 
would enjoy it.

I am looking for some good quality footage of the WI fireball to use on a TV to 
give the kids something to think about when they get to hold what they just saw 
on TV.
I will be making a DVD of this, I have been working on it, but the video 
footage is only about PC quality. 

Anyone have anything better I can use?
I can process any video file format.

I need it for Friday and will need at least a day to do the editing and produce 
a final copy.

Thanks in advance.

[meteorite-list] odd stone - a melt maybe?

2010-05-04 Thread Phil Morgan
Hey everyone,
I can't make it to Wisconsin so had to console myself with a little
adventure with the saw.  I've had an odd lumpy grey unclassified
desert stone that I've wanted to take a look into.  What do you think?

Here is a picture of the true color and lack of...well, most anything.

Here is a picture of the metal - sorry, can't get the whole slice in focus

Anyone seen anything similar?

Regards to all,
Phil

Re: [meteorite-list] odd stone - a melt maybe?

2010-05-04 Thread Keith Wandry


So, should I expect to see more emails about the cutting of a stone  
or is it okay to cut lumpy stones?


Btw, how would this apply to the music industry?

Would it be okay to slice up Watts, Wood, and Richards, but not  
Jagger and maybe Wyman?


:-)

[meteorite-list] keeping your wisconsin finds

2010-05-04 Thread steve arnold
Hi list. I have really been puzzled by all the new wisconsin meteorite finds 
that are being sold right away.It seems no one is keeping any for their 
collections. If I'm lucky enought to find any when I go back up,I am keeping 
mine. I don't need the money that bad.I fully understand if you have money 
problems or no job,I really understand.But it seems some people are just doing 
it to see where the price will end up to determine what per gram ratio will be 
determined.But right here and now,I will make a statement I'll stand by.If I am 
lucky to find more than 1 stone, I will sell any others I find for $20 a gram.I 
want the collecter to be able to afford these new visitors from space. I have 
no problem what others are doing with their finds. Is anyone keeping their 
finds??

Re: [meteorite-list] Wisconsin Meteorite Hunt.

2010-05-04 Thread Fries, Marc D (3225)
I was wondering if this was going to turn up on the mailing list or not...  We 
arrived at this property, obtained permission from the landowners to search it, 
and were approached by this gent who was upset because he was there before us.  
It doesn't work that way, and in any case it's up to the landowner to give or 
deny permission to hunt.  Ironically, we had just left a parcel of land where 
four other groups/individuals came and went while we were searching it.  We 
stopped and chatted cordially with a few of them, shared information, and all 
had a Coke and a smile without undue snippiness.  Sonny didn't do anything 
wrong here, and it is my observation that he is a very conscientious gent whom 
I would be happy to hunt with again.

Cheers,
Marc Fries

 Well,
 
 I just returned from my third trip with 12 days walking on cobbs and I have 
 to say that the most pathetic display of rude bs was that of Sonny what's his 
 name. The man pulled up his truck, looked through us like we were 
 non-exixtant ignoring the fact, as we protested, that we had previous 
 permission to search the property in question.
 
 Sonny was so aggressive that he didn't even notice that one of our team 
 members was a 77 year old man that was the Patriarch of the family that owned 
 the land. He ignored us and hauled ass straight up to the front door trying 
 to conive his way in.
 
 Nice work Sonny. You deserve a big  pat on the back. You belong in Georgia. 
 You're a real inspiration to us all you greedy S*B.

 Subject: [meteorite-list] Wisconsin Meteorite Hunt.
 
 Hi All,
 
 I just returned from my second hunt in Wisconsin. I hunted a total of 9
 days in the field. I really enjoyed spending time with the other
 hunters and got to know some of the locals too.
 Without a doubt, Wisconsin is the friendliest state I have ever
 visited. Everyone would invite you into their homes, also allow you to
 hunt for meteorites on their property. I even had
 a chance to milk a cow. I want to say thanks to Rob Matson and Mark
 Fries for the great work with the Doppler Radar. Terry Boudreaux and
 Karl Aston played a major role in gaining
 access to hunt many of the properties. These 2 guys are awesome. What
 really made this trip enjoyable was spending time with everyone
 hunting. After 9 days of hunting I was able
 to find 3 meteorites, one with the assistance of Brix (my dog) and the
 other 2 on my second trip out. The total of my finds is 366.4 grams. I
 hope to post pictures from the hunt on my
 website within the next week. The rumors of many stones being recovered
 is simply not true. Out of 6 guys hunting for 4 days( covering a lot of
 ground ) only 2 stones were recovered.
 On the previous hunt with 10 guys hunting only 4 stones were recovered.
 By far, the best complete stone I have seen is Rob Wesel's. Another
 kudo's goes out to Joe Kerchner for his
 magnificent find. Eric Wichman also made some outstanding finds.
 
 Many of the fields are now being plowed and planted. Further recovery
 of meteorites is becoming more difficult. It would be nice to compile a
 list of everyone's finds to determine the TKW
 so far.
 
 
 Good luck to all of the guys that are still out in the field.
 
 Sonny
