Hi Dan,

Just a note, Bernd just recently pointed out that the NWA 869 is an 
L3-L6 brecciated chondrite. For those who haven't taken note.

Re: [meteorite-list] Al haggounia 001

2011-06-08 Thread Jeff Grossman
Reclassifications in the MetBull can occur when somebody submits to the 
NomCom, or NomCom independently finds, sufficient evidence to warrant 
publication of an erratum.  For simple errors, the evidence can be very 
simple (e.g., this meteorite was published as an LL5, but it actually 
has Fa19 olivine, so it is really an H5).  But when things get 
difficult or complicated, usually a refereed publication is needed to 
document the claim.  Al Haggounia 001 is the latter case, and the 
appropriate evidence has not been submitted or published, to my knowledge.

Hi Steve and all,

Blaine is truly one of the gems in the dealer base. He probably knows 
more than any 20 dealers combine and has a degree in geology making him 
more up in the chemistry of space rocks.


Steve, while he was buying your finds back then, I was buying a pretty 
good portion of his items back then also.While he would work for a 
hunter to get a fair price, he would also be quite fair in selling his 
material to collectors and dealers. He was fair on both sides of the 
transaction.


He has always made things right for me and more honest than anyone I know.
If you haven't given Blaine Reed a chance to sell you something, you 
are missing out in many ways.

Hey Dave and All,

Great story, and thanks for sharing.  I have to chime in here in 
saluting Blaine as well.


If it were not for Blaine I would not be here today.  For my first 
six years in the meteorite business, I had only one customer...Blaine 
Reed.


In a world where everyone tries to buy low and sell high Blaine 
always asked not How little do I have to pay Steve to get this next 
meteorite? But rather he would see how much he could pay me each and 
every time.


Blaine bought 100% of all the rocks I pulled out of the field my 
first 6 years.


Sometimes checks would show up in the mail unexpected from Blaine.  I 
would call to ask why?  He would reply with something like: The 
Richfield I bought from you a year ago turned out to be an LL3 
instead of an L4 so this is extra money to make it fair.


Those kind of checks happened a LOT more times than just once.

I just want everyone to know, not just on the selling side of things 
(as in Dave's case) is Blaine more than fair, but he is that way on 
his buying side of things as well.


The Meteorite world is a far better place because of Blaine.

Re: [meteorite-list] Al haggounia 001

2011-06-08 Thread Michael Gilmer
Hi Dan,

The Al-Haggounia issue comes up here regularly from time to time and
it has been discussed extensively.  The general consensus is that
NonCom works like Entmoot.  Eventually the classification will get
changed - but nobody knows when.

In the meantime, for your own use, call it an EL3 and nobody will fuss
you for it, regardless of what the Met Bulletin says.  ;)

If you search back through the List archive, there is a discussion
about this same issue that took place about a month or two ago.

Best regards,

MikeG

Dear List,A few people on here already know, But on 4-9-2011 I found my 
1st meteorite here in Butler county Ohio.(very oriented, thumb 
printed)  On the 11th I had a job interview and got hired on the spot 
after being laid off for some time.(Talk about finding your lucky 
star)Then on 4-16-2011, I find a broken fragment of a second chondrite 
on the same farm, which is sitting on a glacier morian.Both of these 
are so different, But they are chondrites.  In the past month I find 5 
other stones that look like they could be Achondrites, (will post 
later)I have no interest in selling meteorites, I think these should go 
to our local Geology museum which has a cool meteorite display.6 yeras 
I was on a mission to find a meteorite, I think now it is complete. I 
found these out side the small town where I grew - upThese would be the 
1st chondrites found in Butler county Ohio. The only other meteorite 
found here is the Fairfeld meteorite (iron)If all the other suspect 
stones turn out to be meteorites also, then a few miles north of  where 
the last glacier ended in ohio, Indiana and Illinoise is where 
meteorite hunters should be looking. I think the sandy-gravel soil 
drains water quickly, and meteorites may be perserved longer then 
people think. Also I have found 40+ artifacts since april, this farm I 
had found artifacts 25 years ago. will post them also. The soil is only 
8-10 deep on the glacial morian, 5 paleo points have found here, I 
found 3 of them, Most of the artifacts are Adena Mound builder 
material.But here is the albums of the two meteorites.Dave Myers1st

[meteorite-list] AD: Special: NWA 6826 - the Best Karoonda-Chondrite Chladni's Heirs ever had

2011-06-08 Thread Chladnis Heirs
Dear meteorite lovers and experts,


one of the grand specialties of Chladni's Heirs are the CK-Chondrites. 
Still this year, we will receive the number for our 20th CK,
all among each other unpaired - as many as nobody else had in that time
span.
Nevertheless the CK-chondrites remain rarer
than any CV, CO or any eucrite, diogenite and howardite.

Today, we have the honor and the joy to introduce to you,
that CK, which we consider the best CK of all we ever had:  NWA 6826.

Here already for the most hasty ones, the specimens!

http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/specials/special-nwa6826.html

 
Much we explained about the CK-group in our former Specials, their genetic
relation to the CV and CO-group,
their differences to these types and about the characteristics, which make
the CK-group so interesting and fascinating.
With NWA 6826 today, we will abstain from lengthy explanations and
iterations, (in case Weir's Studies will help you)
because the beauty of this very material
touches the heart of every collector.

Time it is - that we learned from many of our CKs,
and now this very NWA 6824 is the most incontrovertible argument for that -
to rewrite the old books, 
which disqualify the CKs as dull, chondrules- ad CAI-poor and featureless,
due to their sulphides and iron-oxides and shock-blackening.
(Probably they had only Kobe, Karoonda and old HaH 280/281 at hand).

NWA 6826 speaks a different language!

It demonstrates par excellence how vivid, busy and spectacular CKs can be,
displaying a huge variety of different details.

Absolutely NECESSARY for you to get, what we're talking about, is TO ENLARGE
THE THUMBNAIL PHOTOS by clicking,
to fully enjoy that extravaganza and not missing out by skimming quickly the
page.

NWA 6824 is weakly shocked with S2.
And it is very fresh and unweathered with a weathering grade of W1.
We had also even slightly fresher ones, W0/1 among our palette of CKs,
though they were not so dazzling like this jewel now.
Note also the great snakeskin of fusion crust on the backside of the
endcuts:
http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/specials/nwa6826-688.5g-end3.JPG


Well, you might be worried about the costs for such an overwhelming
material,
and finally our Moroccan friends and colleagues raised the issue here on the
list 
of the dramatically changed situation, which is going to happen since a
longer while in the NWA-scene.

But - we are proud to tell you, that we decided to make today an offer,
which regarding the quality,
should beat out the price levels, which you are used to commonly see for the
CK-group;

and priced all specimens - from the centerpiece of your carbonaceous-section
to the meaningful reference partslice,
all grinded and polished,
at one price, a reference to the Golden Times of NWA

of 25$/g.

With a tkw of 1.3kg we hope, that nobody has to miss out and we can launch
this Special earlier than usually.
Nevertheless, as always, it would be very helpful, if you would send us a
wish-list with the ranking of your desired specimens,
to avoid delays and traffic jam.

Once again, here they are now:
http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/specials/special-nwa6826.html 


Enjoy!

I don't know your brother, and I don't recall whatever conversation 
you're referring to. I'm not even upset, just amused and enjoying myself 
a bit by yanking your chain. You were snide with me for no apparent 
reason (


Please don't try to educate me about hunting for meteorites.), so a bit of 
nose-tweaking was in order.

Now, back I go to my place at the oars...

Hello Marc,

No.  We tracked it down and never spent a single minute in the field
actually looking for anything because it didn't seem worthwhile.

I stand by what I said.  Since there are no large residential
developments on the valley floor (I think?), I assume that you're
talking about one of the plots on either side of the valley.  There's
plenty more land where that came from, and the differences in distance
from the fall-site are negligible, if they exist at all.

And you're still perfectly entitled to your opinion and to poke around
the local scrub

It seems like we've each approached the issue from different
perspectives; you primarily as a hunter looking to track down more of
it, whereas my father took much more of a historical approach, trying
to track down the exact fall location and main mass of the stone.  But
we are still hunters, and, having found the site and done some
research, we decided that it was a lost cause.  That was our
conclusion, plain and simple.

This isn't some petty territorial crap -- at least not on my end.  We
wiped our hands of the fall once we visited the site.  If you go and
find another stone, bully to you.

I can only assume that you're being so unpleasant because of the
ridiculous political argument you had with my brother on my
facebook...at least several months ago.  He was poking fun; you should
try to get over it.   I didn't even remember it until I put two and

unwarranted nasty comment.

Re: [meteorite-list] A Meteor impacted the Sun?

2011-06-08 Thread Chris Peterson
All prominences are dim compared with the surface of the Sun. If the 
surface is occluded by the Moon, prominences are visible to the naked 
eye. Outside of rather exotic optical systems, there is no way to block 
the surface of the Sun from the ground well enough to see prominences, 
so the only way pre-technological people would have seen prominences 
would have been during total solar eclipses.


We see prominence images made through narrow band filters, typically 
H-alpha, where the prominence is bright compared with the surface (or 
more accurately, nearly all of the prominence light is passed, and 
nearly all of the surface light is blocked).

Would a flare of that size have been visible to ancient naked-eye
observers if it had occurred during totality of an eclipse or if they
had been observing its reflection in a pan of water, etc.?

[meteorite-list] Haiga Triada Meteorite

2011-06-08 Thread William Petty

Dear Members,

I'm doing some research for a book and I've come across mention of a  
9kg meteorite that was found in the Minoan Palace of Haiga Triada--I  
assume on an archeological dig. Does anyone know anything about this  
meteorite and its whereabouts?


Thanks,

Will Petty

[meteorite-list] Rosetta Comet Probe Enters Hibernation in Deep Space

2011-06-08 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM38RJ4LOG_index_0.html

Rosetta comet probe enters hibernation in deep space
European Space Agency 
8 June 2011

The final command placing ESA's Rosetta comet-chaser into deep-space
hibernation was sent earlier today. With virtually all systems shut
down, the probe will now coast for 31 months until waking up in 2014 for
arrival at its comet destination.
 
Today's dramatic event marks the end of the hugely successful first
phase of Rosetta's ten-year cruise and the start of a long, dark
hibernation during which all instruments and almost all control systems
will be silent.

The deep sleep is made necessary by the craft's enormous distance from
the Sun and the weakness of the sunlight falling on its solar panels,
which cannot produce enough electricity to power the probe fully.  
 
Arcing through millions of kilometres of space
 
Between now and January 2014, Rosetta will arc unattended through
millions of kilometres of cold, distant space, heading toward a
rendezvous with 67-P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Only the computer and several heaters will remain active. These will be
automatically controlled to ensure that the entire satellite doesn't
freeze as its orbit takes it from 660 million km from the Sun out to 790
million km and back between now and 2014.
 
We sent the command via NASA's 70 m Deep Space Network station in
Canberra, Australia, ensuring the signal was transmitted with enough
power to reach Rosetta, which is now 549 million km from Earth, said
ESA's Spacecraft Operations Manager Andrea Accomazzo.

We'll monitor via ESA's 35 m station at New Norcia in Australia for a
few days to see if any problems occur, but we expect to receive no radio
signal until 2014. Rosetta's on her own now.
 
Wake up call in 2014
 
On 20 January 2014, a timer will wake the slumbering spacecraft, which
will then transmit a signal to Earth to announce that its revival.

Mission controllers will then spend several weeks gradually warming up
and reactivating the spacecraft in preparation for its rendezvous with
the comet in July 2014.

Mission controllers at ESOC, ESA's Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt,
have spent most of the past year preparing for hibernation.
 
A special hibernation mode of the spacecraft was designed by engineers
at EADS Astrium, the main industrial prime contractor that build
Rosetta, to allow it to survive the large distances from the Sun during
its cruise.
 
All of the scientific instruments were switched off by the end of March.
In April and May, with Rosetta orbiting at more than 600 million km from
the Sun, tests were conducted with the solar arrays to confirm that
sufficient power would be available for today's hibernation.
 
Final shut-down command sent today
 
At 08:00 UT (10:00 CEST) today, Rosetta automatically started spinning,
which will stabilise the probe while the normal attitude control system
is off throughout hibernation, and at 12:58 UT (14:58 CEST) the final
shut-down command was sent. Confirmation of successful entry into
hibernation came at 14:13 UT (16:13 CEST) when radio contact was lost,
as expected.
 
With flybys of asteroids Steins in 2008 and Lutetia in 2010, Rosetta
has already delivered excellent scientific results, says Paolo Ferri,
Head of ESOC's Solar and Planetary Mission Operations Division.
 
Hibernation is a necessary step to reach the final target. We are now
looking forward to 2014, when Rosetta becomes the first spacecraft to
track the life of a comet as it arcs in toward the Sun.

[meteorite-list] Mars Express: Springtime at Mars' South Pole

2011-06-08 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMZBQJ4LOG_index_0.html

Springtime at Mars' south pole
European Space Agency
7 June 2011

ESA's Mars Express celebrates eight years in space with a new view of
ice in the southern polar region of Mars. The poles are closely linked
to the planet's climate and constantly change with the seasons. Their
study is an important scientific objective of the mission.
 
Ulyxis Rupes in context

About two-thirds of the image is covered by part of the southern polar
ice cap and other scattered ice deposits, near a feature known as Ulyxis
Rupes. The left side of the image is dominated by the polar cap's ice
shield, which is covered by dark dusty material that hides the bright
ices beneath.

At this location, further than 1000 km from the south pole itself, the
ice is relatively thin: radar data indicate it is only about 500 m
thick, whereas near the south pole it can reach more than 3.7 km.

Features near Ulyxis Rupes

However, on the north-facing cliffs the layers of ice and dust are
discernible. These form part of the polar, layered deposits. The cliffs
are often curved, which could mean that they are shaped by underlying
impact craters.

The elevation of this region decreases markedly from south to north,
dropping in steps by about 1500 m in total from left to right across the
image.
 
Elevation of Ulyxis Rupes

Just northward of the ice shield, about halfway across the image, there
are large ice deposits that are heavily covered by overlying material
blown into long dunes by the prevailing winds in this region. The
orientation of the dunes suggests the wind must come predominantly from
the northwest.
 
Ulyxis Rupes in high resolution

With increasing distance from the south pole, ice becomes confined to
larger impact craters, such as the one in the top right of the image.
These provide the best shelter. The ice itself is slightly offset
towards the north because, with the sunlight coming from the north, the
southern walls of the crater tend to warm up more, causing the ice to melt.

Ulyxis Rupes is a large cliff and is the only named feature in this
image ('rupes' is the Latin term for cliff). With a length of 390 km and
a height of up to 1 km, it is just visible at the top right of this
image where it intrudes on the immediate left of the crater there.
 
Ulyxis Rupes in perspective

Puzzling parallel structures in the martian dust can be seen in the
bottom right quarter of the image. Although their origin is uncertain,
it is possible that they are the result of underlying ice deposits,
permanently frozen because they are protected by overlying dust and rocks.

The image was taken in January 2011, during the southern spring on Mars.
At the moment it is summer there, but when the southern winter begins in
March 2012, the temperatures will drop again and more ice will
accumulate. Mars Express will be waiting.

Subject: [meteorite-list] 1st-2nd Ohio meteorite


Dear List,

A few people on here already know, But on 4-9-2011 I found my 1st 
meteorite here
in Butler county Ohio.(very oriented, thumb printed)  On the 11th I had a 
job
interview and got hired on the spot after being laid off for some 
time.(Talk

about finding your lucky star)

Then on 4-16-2011, I find a broken fragment of a second chondrite on the 
same

farm, which is sitting on a glacier morian.

Both of these are so different, But they are chondrites.  In the past 
month I
find 5 other stones that look like they could be Achondrites, (will post 
later)


I have no interest in selling meteorites, I think these should go to our 
local

Geology museum which has a cool meteorite display.
6 yeras I was on a mission to find a meteorite, I think now it is 
complete. I

found these out side the small town where I grew - up

These would be the 1st chondrites found in Butler county Ohio. The only 
other

meteorite found here is the Fairfeld meteorite (iron)

If all the other suspect stones turn out to be meteorites also, then a few 
miles

north of  where the last glacier ended in ohio, Indiana

and Illinoise is where meteorite hunters should be looking. I think the
sandy-gravel soil drains water quickly, and meteorites may be perserved 
longer

then people think.


Also I have found 40+ artifacts since april, this farm I had found 
artifacts 25

years ago. will post them also. The soil is only 8-10 deep on the glacial
morian, 5 paleo points have found here, I found 3 of them, Most of the 
artifacts

are Adena Mound builder material.

But here is the albums of the two meteorites.

Re: [meteorite-list] 1st-2nd Ohio meteorite

2011-06-08 Thread Dave Myers


Thanks everyone,

I am still in shock!

I need metal detector help! I have a whites (I think xlt modle) the older one 
with the needle, not the newer one that is digt, display.

The two fields where I found the two meteorites, I been back over them 3 times 
each with the metal detector! The good news is I am picking up  hot rocks, 3-5 
inches down, which is the same as my calibration stone(200 gram .unwa, will get 
a hit) These two fields are about 50 acers each on this 400 acer farm ( he is 
farming 4000 acers thow) I might get access?

I need a coil ( i think, That will pick up hot rocks and chondrites 8-10 inches 
down, If there is any more meteorites! (if this is a old fall)
Any sugestions.


This past week My old school freind did plant, If he planted corn, I can still 
hunt for a while, anything else its over for the year. the rolls will be too 
narrow  except his two pastures.I can walk them, But the Ticks are bad this 
year.

Thanks for any help.

Dave Myers

I wish dealers especially on EBay wouldn't advertise Free Shipping  
when it only applies to U.S.customers. The rest of us (non U. S.) get

Hi Chris,

I offer free shipping to all Tampa Lightning fans, world-wide.

However, fans of teams that have eliminated the Lightning from playoff
contention are subject to a $100 shipping surcharge.  Currently, this
surcharge is in effect for all orders to the Boston area.  ;)

Re: [meteorite-list] ad: NWA 869 .25 cents per gram

2011-06-08 Thread Dan Furlan
Hello all, thank you all for those who e-mailed me in regards to my
previous post in which i am selling NWA 869 for .25 cents.  I had more
people respond to me then expected and as a result of this high demand
in such a short period of time i have to announce that the sale is
over as of today at 10:30 pm Eastern Time..  For those of you who
emailed me before June 8th 10:30pm Eastern, we will continue to close
our deals. For anybody else who is interested at this price who hasn't
emailed me already i am sorry but i am not selling anymore at this
price on this forum
as the demand is much to high and i can only fulfill orders that have
already come in or that are in the process of being made.  I will post
some more stuff at unreasonably low prices again in the future, the
next meteorite i plan to sell on this forum at wholesale prices will
be Vaca Muerta!!! so keep your eyes open for my post when im ready to
sell some of it at real wholesale prices!!! thanks again all who have
responded to me.

[meteorite-list] More than one way to skin a strewn field

2011-06-08 Thread bill kies


Park Forest, Steger, Crete, University Park, Olympia fields, Chicago Heights 
and a few more towns still hold undiscovered meteorite wonders of the Park 
Forest Meteorite kind. These are pretty average. After over a year long drought 
I found these at a garage sale so it was a thrill. Three individuals, 260 grams 
total. Pretty fresh.
