Hi List Members
I would just like to echo the views expressed here about the position of Mike
farmer vis-à-vis Meteorite List membership. I personally would like to see Mike
re-instated to the list. Our list should be an open forum where people of all
races, creeds and nationalities can share
Hi,
Can I use a CVT transmission oil to protect my meteorites? I have bought too
many bottles when I was changing oil in the car and I'm wondering if I can use
it instead of regular ATF.
Have anybody tried to use this CVT oil for meteorites?
Best regards,
Marcin Kozusznik.

not sure what will happen now...early days.

I think part of it too is that what we are thinking and communicating can be
interpreted differently. Most of us probably use words to mean one thing,
while
the dictionary meaning is quite different. Then there are punctuation errors
that change meaning context, etc. In on-line communities

Hi Mike and Gang,
Facebook is quickly turning into a nexus of meteorite activity.
Collectors, dealers, hunters, scientists, and curious onlookers.
It's also ripe for virtual outreach. I get questions almost every day
from people who know nothing about meteorites, and they are keen to
learn more.

Stay safe Dirk! I hope you are nowhere near the Fukashima (sp?)
nuclear power plant. I heard they cannot cool the reactor and they
are evacuating the facility. It could be another 3-mile Island or
Chernobyl.
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the quake zone.

Aloha John, listoids,

areas, with damaging waves reported in
Hi List:
Is there a way to tell if a meteorite is a Chondrite by looking at the fusion
crust, or looking a just the exterior? I have noticed many times meteorites
pictured and they are fully crusted, but are called chondrites. Is it just
experience of looking at many chondrites or something
Hi Greg,
Yes and no. Maybe. Sort of. You can draw some general conclusions
from the look of the fusion crust - color and texture. Some
achondrites have distinctive fusion crusts, as do some exotic
chondrites. Generally speaking, the fusion crusts of many OC's share
a common look and texture.
Yes! All are welcome to post! An open discussion board, post photos, stories,
experiences, whatever you like meteorite related! I tried to start the page as
an outlet for all of these things, so that we may all get a bit more insight
and input from one another, on perhaps a more personal level.
For those interested, I've updated the USGS plot from Google Earth in the same
album.
Many huge aftershocks that would be newsworthy on their own due ot their size.
Glad we're getting good news from effected list members. Hope it continues.
That link again
Perfect!
The character of Dirk - catastrophe all around him, and his first words to the
list are: Look up to the sky!
ha ha!
Stay safe, Dirk!
