[meteorite-list] Brisbane Floods
I have spent much of today and yesterday responding to emails from well wishers asking if I am OK in the floods so I will give my own first hand account twenty miles or so from ground zero. I am happy to report that we are all fine and not a part of what your front page news is currently showing but we had a much to close for comfort close call. Its been raining for weeks and 3 weeks or so ago the news was 5 or 6 hours north and inland where the news showed people being rescued from rooftops by helicopter but other than the news and lots of rain we werent really affected. About two weeks ago here the rain picked up - a lot. Torrential rain kept coming but other than no access to outdoor activities we werent really affected. I pretty much have lived on ebay recently anyway. The roads have been closed regularly up north and sunday the road a few miles north of me was closed. Everywhere north of me was cut off except by helicopter. Monday, in Toowoomba, a town a hundred miles inland from Brisbane is when the international news started showing you pictures of brisbane. A meters high wall of water and mud out of nowhere suddendly leveled Toowoomba's business district and left carnage in its wake. Towns downstream were devestated and thats when you got all that video footage of cars being swept everywhere and helicopters rescueing people. I started regularly hearing helicopters flying low as they search for people needing rescue. A local news channel made a video of a family on the top of a white van flowing down a raging river hundreds of meters wide. That video probably was the biggest most graphic image of the floods and the premiers office and news stations were all inundated with calls wondering how they were. Yesterday the premier reported at a news conference that the mom and 9 year old boy was rescued but when the helicopter returned for dad he was gone and is now listed as missing. If he ever turns up in one piece it will be the biggest rescue story of the floods and he will get rich being interviewed by oprah and similar people but it probably wont happen. This is all nearby to me and in places that I am very familiar with but in reality its all just news to me. Sunday night my chickens house got flooded and I moved them to a small unused shed for a temporary accomodation. Tuesday morning my wife comes is saying that we have a pond in the back yard. Water has made it to the new chicken home and I piled up some pallets for them to live on. All eight of my usually very pampered chickens spends a couple of sad, soggy and miserable days with no roosts camped out on the top of a stack of pallets. They are not happy chickens. There is a little creek that overflowed its banks a short distance from me and water is slowly coming up to a storage shed and in the extremily vicious thunder storm convinces us to pile things up in case it gets flooded. I still have hundreds of boxes unopened from the move from New Zealand last year so we decide to put the fragile and valuable stuff on top of the less valuable boxes and as we are done we get a standardized government text saying that there are flash floods near us and that we are advised to report to an evacuation centre nearby. A couple minutes later we lose both phone and internet (Our cell phone company apparantly had a building full of equipment flood and I never did find out why we lost internet). Then, just before noon some lady from the preschool where my two kiddies are at knocks on the door saying they have been trying to call me and that I have to go pick up the kids quick as the police had ordered the schools closed and any kids not picked up would be taken to an evacuation centre because they were not going to let the kids be there by one occlock which was high tide and they were worried about what would happen during high tide. Back home the water slowly comes up my yard. Like the tide. Not a bit of wind and almost calm except for the buckets of water raining down. Water is getting very close to flooding us. My eight chickens are huddled together on top of the pallet all wet and miserable and the water is within inches of flooding us to. Its getting close to the 1PM high tide and we wonder if the water will keep coming after high tide. We are a good ten miles from the sea. I am 4 inches from getting flooded but luckily that 4 inches of concrete saved me. Just two streets down from me the streets just a bit lower and closer to the (Now not so little) creek have the police going down the street in boats looking for people who need help or evacuation. The water goes down pretty fast after high tide and while still soggy by 3PM there is no longer a pond in my yard. The rain also stops for a while and over the next hour we hear low flying helicopters a few times. 4:30 I go into town (only a mile away) for pizza (Tuesday is cheap pizza day). Some roads are blocked and others are 4WD roads only.
[meteorite-list] Black Onaping (was: Shatter Cone)
Hello Larry, Dan, and List, I do wonder about the metal in the Onaping. Typically, is there metal in Onaping? I pulled out my slice of Black Onaping, it is indeed magnetic in certain spots. This is a revelation. No wonder Black Onaping material is magnetic given the fact that the Sudbury Structure is the result of a meteorite impact. In other words, Black Onaping contains sulfides and nickel(-iferous) inclusions ... hence magnetic!

Re: [meteorite-list] Brisbane Floods
Wow Dean, you paint a vivid picture of the situation where you live. It's good to know you and your family are all ok, including your chickens! To be on the brink of being flooded out by a mere 4 of concrete is scary indeed. And to think where you almost moved, in Forest Hill last year where you definitely would have been in danger has to be Murphy's Law in reverse. Great to hear from you buddy!

Re: [meteorite-list] Black Onaping (was: Shatter Cone)
Dan, Bernd, All, One needs to look closely to see the metal. In fact it wasn't really visible until I gave it a good polish. A little trick I have for determining if the metal or sulphide in a rock is responsible for the magnetic attraction is to take a tiny chip off a rare earth or neodymium magnet and scoot it around with a toothpick, looking to see if it jumps from grain to grain. If you do this with a rock that's magnetic and has visible pyrite in it, you will see the magnet jump away from the metallic material, (pyrite). Only rarely does it jump from metal grain to metal grain. This Black Onaping is one of those rare exceptions.

Re: [meteorite-list] Huge Fireball: Possible First Meteorite Fall of 2011
UPDATE: I've added another map to the mess. ;) Don't really have time to do anything with this, those who can use it here it is. Marc Fries' radar data is plotted on the map, http://radarmeteorites.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/southern-ms-12-jan-11-0244-utc/ and I credit him for his work. Nice job! An interesting note is that I conducted 2 phone interviews with two eye witnesses a day or so before Marc posted his radar data.When I plotted their reports on the map, they roughly pointed in the same general area as the radar return with regard to their sighting direction and flight path of the fireball. The witness North of Pickens AR reported massive fragmentation, and the witness in MS stated they saw no fragmentation and that the fireball appeared to fall all the way to the ground. Not sure if 20 miles would make the difference between seeing the fragmentation or not, but the MS witness was 241 miles from Marc's radar return, whereas, the Pickens AR witness was 221 miles away. (this assuming the radar return is the bolide event) It's possible that the small differentiation between the distances from the fireball event and the curvature of the Earth allowed the AR witness to see the fragmentation, whereas the MS witness was unable to see it because their view was obscured by the horizon. A lot of things need to be considered like the altitude, the timing of the sighting, the height/altitude of each witness. Either way, it's interesting. Let me make this disclaimer. This is only a rough estimate based on compiled information, sonic boon reports, fireball sighting reports, radar, and phone interviews. Use this info at your own risk. Video is basically useless, and I've not yet plotted ANY video on this map. I've heard of some CNN video, and other video which actually shows the fireball in the air, but have only seen one. Anyone wanting to help let me know. I'll plot it when I get time. Enjoy... Happy Hunting!

Re: [meteorite-list] Core samples from chondrites
Hello Sean, I had a core sample taken from a large angrite (NWA 4931) I took to MIT for magnetism analysis a few years ago. They used a 1/2 diamond-tipped bit with water coolant and drilled in about 3 to get to the center of the stone. We clamped the stone onto a drill press and made a makeshift 'girdle' to collect the cutting sludge. The same process could be used dry but depending on the type and density of the meteorite, you may have limited success.

My Monturaqui contains visible metallic grains but I had never thought to check my other impactites. Thus far I have only found one other and that is a slice of Ternovka, a black material that is quite magnetic. I would be interested to have others check their collections for this feature.

Typically, is there metal in Onaping? I pulled out my slice of Black Onaping, it is indeed magnetic in certain spots. This is a revelation. No wonder Black Onaping material is magnetic given the fact that the Sudbury Structure is the result of a meteorite impact. In other words, Black Onaping contains sulfides and nickel(-iferous) inclusions ... hence magnetic!

[meteorite-list] 1099s coming?
Hello List... Potential legislation mandating the issuance of 1099s to all documented transactions, and obviously those tied with a digital/cyber signature, has promted me to write this. I don't know the bill's name, but we've all heard about it, and the implications. From what I understand, transactions between any and all entities that exceed $600/year and/or each transaction will mandate the generation of the issuance of a 1099 to all parties. I woke up to this fact when I heard that eBay will potentially be issuing mandated tax-consequence 1099s to all who participate at that level. I can't imagine the nightmare logistics, but can certainly imagine the impact of on-line transactions if this legislation is actually passed. It stands to reason that all cyber transactions will be subject to this imposition, including private trades and sales though this very List. So, naturally, I'm putting the subject to us all to consider. I hope to get some input, positive and/or negative, to whether my issues are valid. So, please chime in. Fortunately, through this List I've made some contact with people I trust, although haven't yet met. Please advise... -Richard Montgomery __ 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] 1099s coming?
Hi Richard, All, I don't know about private trades and sales but it seems like everyone loses including ebay. Maybe more sales off ebay and payment with money orders... On the other hand, maybe phony meteorites on ebay with an asking price of $250,000 will disappear.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT - 1099s coming?
Richard, and all U.S.A. listoids, That provision is buried somewhere in the 2000+ pages of our wonderful new health care law. You know, the one they had to pass so we could find out what's in it. The 16,000 new IRS agents will be charged with enforcing it. That provision isn't scheduled to go into effect until 2012. I think I'll bite my tongue now, but you can learn more here...

[meteorite-list] HiRes CT - Sikhote-Alin in tree
There are hundreds of images so I just chose one John.

The low resolution X-ray tomography images are a bit difficult to interpret. Perhaps you could post some high res images? From what I can see, there do not appear to be very many annual growth rings. How many do you count? What year were these harvested? Also two of the other 'branches' on your site look to me more like root balls (burls) with the roots cut off as David Vann has previously pointed out about Anne's example. They don't appear to have very many annual growth rings either...how many do you count? Personally, I suspect that the ones that look root-like may be examples of trees that grew on top of a meteorite sometime after the 1947 fall as opposed to examples of 1947 impacts. Still pretty cool though!

The University, if I recall, said the tree was old enough and the meteorite did in fact alter the tree growth structure (I.e. It wasn't hammered into a crack in the tree). Maybe he can chime in...
