From my understanding there are one or two private collects that have some small pieces of this magnificent iron meteorite. But again who knows but I think its safe to safe this will be a very hard iron to obtain from the history it presents and events presented around the meteorite.

Re: [meteorite-list] Wanted - Willamette Meteorite specimen
Hi Elton, I saw the Auction yesterday. Yinan W. and Shawn A. sent me the link below. However, I was thinking of something a little less expensive. Although ~$64 per gram isn't too bad. The problem is I would have to buy all 13,998 grams. Technically, this is a great deal. http://fineart.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=6061lotNo=49053 Photos - Met-Bull Willamette specimen owners: Gerald Armstrong Jay Piatek MeteoriteCollector.org - AMNH MeteoriteCollector.org - FCOM MeteoriteCollector.org - NHMV Michael S.

I wonder why they used the words CROWN SECTION to advertise this piece. Looks to have been cut off from the bell edge. I haven't seen the bell edge of the trailing side of the meteorite referred to as a crown section.

From the mapping program and google earth it looked like a simple trip. The trip was anything but simple. With a Big Gulp in hand I started down the graded road to the second fork to the North. The road turned into an ATV trail and the planned route was washed out. My map showed three separate trails leading to to the meteorite find location. To make a long story short 6 hours later I arrived at my destination which I thought would only a couple of hours at the most. I would recommend a four wheel drive vehicle or ATV. The majority of the trail was four wheel drive only and the slightest amount of rain could make the trail impassable. Due to the location and condition of the road I could only spend a few hours hunting. I will have to return when I can spend more time. http://www.nevadameteorites.com/nevadameteorites/Trip_Report.htm The trip was not a waste I did make a new meteorite find at a different location.

[meteorite-list] Slate Islands Impact Structure
I hadn't heard about this Lake Superior crater. Interesting that the islands are the central uplift formation of the crater. Click the link for the rest of the pdf with maps and pics. Phil Whitmer http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19970028016_1997050774.pdf 14. New Observations at the Slate Islands Impact , Structure, Lake Superior B.O. Dressier 1, V.L. Sharpton 1, B. Schnieders 2 and J. Scott 2 1 Lunar and Planetary Institute, 3600 Bay Area Boulevard, Houston, Texas, 77058 2 Northwestern Ontario Field Services Section, Ontario Geological Survey, Thunder Bay INTRODUCTION Slate Islands, a group of 2 large and several small islands, is located in northern Lake Superior, approximately I0 km south of Terrace Bay. Shatter cones, breccias and shock metamorphic features provide evidence that the Slate Islands Structure was formed as a result of asteroid or comet impact (Halls and Grieve 1976, Grieve and Robertson 1976). Most of the island group is believed to represent the central uplift of a complex impact crater. The structure possibly has a diameter of about 32 km. For Sage ( 1978, ! 991) shock metamorphic features, shatter cones and pervasive rock brecciation are the results of diatreme activity. The present investigations represent the second year of a co-operative study of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, Texas and the Field Services Section (Northwest) of the Ontario Geological Survey. The objective of this investigation is to come to a better understanding of the formation of mid-size impact structures on Earth and the planets of the solar system. Impact processes played a fundamental role in the formation of the planets and the evolution of life on Earth. Meteorite and comet impacts are not a phenomenon of the past. Last year, more than 20 pieces of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted on Jupiter and the Tunguska comet impacted in Siberia in the early years of this century. The study of impact processes is a relatively young part of geoscience and much is still to be learnt by detailed field and laboratory investigations. The Slate Islands Structure has been selected for the present detailed investigations because of the excellent shoreline outcrops of rock units related to the impact. The structure is a complex impact crater that has been eroded so that important lithoiogical and structural elements are exposed. We know of no other mid-size terrestrial impact structure with equal or better exposures. In this publication we present preliminary results of our 1994 and 1995 field and laboratory investigations. We have tentatively identified a few impact melt and a considerable number of suevite occurrences. Bunte Breccia and suevite (for definitions see Ontario Geological Engelhardt 1990 and references therein) and other clastic matrix breccias occur on the islands. (For names of specific locations mentioned in this publication please see Figure 14.1 .) GENERAL GEOLOGY OF SLATE ISLANDS A wide variety of Archean and Proterozoic rocks underlie the islands. Archean rocks make up the bulk of the Slate Islands bedrock (Sage 1991). They are composed of greenschist facies, felsic to mafic pyroclastic rocks, pillowed and variolitic mafic flows, feldspar porphyry flows interbedded with mudstones, siltstones and ironstones. Archean gabbros and quartz-feldspar porphyries intrude the supracrustal rocks (Sage 1991 ). Laminated argillite and chert-carbonate-hematite ironstone of the Gunflint Formation and argillite of the Rove Formation, both of the Animikie Group, as well as, mafic metavolcanic rocks, intraflow sandstone and siltstone, and diabase dikes of the Osier Group, Keweenawan Supergroup, occur on the islands but spatially are of limited extent (Sage 1991). Lamprophyres occur on the islands and one dike at the southeast coast of Patterson Island has been dated by the U-Pb method on perovskite at about !.1 Ga (oral communication L.Heaman, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, 1994). This dike is cut by breccias (R.Sage, Ontario Geological Survey, Sudbury, oral communication 1994) believed to be related to the Slate Islands impact event. This date provides a maximum radiometrie age for the impact. However, we have observed breccias on the islands containing sandstone and siltstone clasts that strongly resemble units of the Jacobsville Formation, suggesting a maximum age of about 800 ma, based on assignment of the Jaeobsville Formation as Hadrynian (Card et al. 1994). We did not attempt to reinterpret the distribution of the various Archean and Proterozoic rock units that underlie the island group. It is, however, worth noting that all rocks on the islands are brecciated to various degrees. Large rock masses on Mortimer and Delaute islands are monomict breccias and we have observed granitic rocks and diabase on Patterson Island that easily break into centimetre-sized angular fragments

Re: [meteorite-list] Slate Islands Impact Structure
Hi Phil and List, This is a general observation about impact structures, and not so much about Slate Islands - please forgive the topic drift. I am always impressed with the people finding new craters using widely-available resources like Google Earth. In my amateur zeal, I tried looking over the land in a several mile radius around my home in south central Florida. To my stunned eyes, there were craters every where I looked. Florida looked like the Moon in some spots. My excitement only lasted about a nanosecond because each time I could identify the feature as something more mundane - sinkhole, cattle pond, retention pond, subsidence depression, etc. Florida is littered with sinkholes and not all are filled with water. So, what impresses me when people find these new impact structures is this - how the heck can one distinguish an impact crater from a satellite photo? Is there a quick and dirty list of criteria to look for? I'm not a geologist, nor do I have any formal training, but I do have a PC and an armchair. ;) Best regards, MikeG -- - Galactic Stone Ironworks - Meteorites Amber (Michael Gilmer) Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://tinyurl.com/42h79my News Feed - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone EOM - http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=1564 - I know Florida is a bad place to look, but it's good training course to identify all of the circular and ellipsoid things that are not a crater.

[meteorite-list] POP QUIZ ANSWER
Hello Listers, I am hoping everyone is enjoying the afternoon and would like to post the answer from the POP QUIZ. Quetion Please tell me the name of the first meteorite that was etched? Answer KRASNOJARSK (1804 by William Thomson) I would like to congradulate James B being the 10th Lister to send me the correct answer. He will be getting a 120mg Saratov meteorite fragment that fell in 1918 in Russia. And for those of you that would like to read up on the Krasnojarsk meteorite, here is an excerpt from Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756–1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research By Ursula B. MARVIN For the next 130 years, from 1808 to 1939, von Widmanstätten was credited as the earliest discoverer of the metallurgical patterns that are named for him in iron meteorites. The first intimation of a possible rival arose indirectly in 1939 when Robert T. Gunther (1869–1940), the Oxford historian and antiquary with a special interest in the Naples area, examined a mineral collection that contained numerous fine specimens marked “Dr. T.” Gunther (1939) had no clue to the identity of Dr. T. until he came upon a sample of Vesuvian lava that had been worked into a commemorative medal honoring the French geologist, Diodato Dolomieu (1750–1801). The back of the medal was impressed with the name and date: “G. Thomson Anglus 1805.” Seeking further information, Gunther contacted Professor Alfred Lacroix (1863–1948), at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, who found a letter in the archives that had been sent in 1801 from Naples in to the paleontologist, Georges Cuvier (1769–1832), by “G. Thomson, già Professore di Anatomia à Oxford.” *** Gunther’s offhand statement of Thomson’s anticipation of the Widmanstätten figures elicited a letter to Nature from Max Hey (1905–1984) of the Department of Mineralogy of the British Museum (Natural History). Hey looked up the 1808 issue of the Atti dell’Accademia delle Scienze di Siena that contained Thomson’s article on the Krasnojarsk meteorite, which, he noted, was dated “February 6, 1804.” Hey remarked that the article is of particular interest to us because it shows that Thomson studied the action of dilute nitric acid on the nickel-iron and fully described and pictured the etch figures, thus anticipating the work of von Widmanstätten which, was carried out in 1808 and published first in 1812 (by K. A. Neumann). Although he documented Thomson’s priority of publication, Hey made no suggestion that the etch figures should be renamed for him. Here the matter rested for two more decades. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1996MPS...31..545M Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 eBaystore http://shop.ebay.com/photophlow/m.html [meteorite-list] POP QUIZ FRIDAYS Shawn Alan photophlow at yahoo.com Fri Jun 10 18:11:40 EDT 2011 Previous message: [meteorite-list] Willimette?

Re: [meteorite-list] Illinois, Indiana, Ohio glacial deposits
Dear List, and Norm, WOW! In this thread the only 2 things that has been said that is counter-productive for anyone just getting started in the search for meteorites is, Norm's disrespectful comments! (for 1) This is one of those stories with to good to be true overtones. Norm I have been on the list for 3.5-4 years, I was brought up and raised to be respectful to other people in this small farming town.You do not know anything about me...so why would you make a comment like that! The second comment by you is compairing the glacier area of ( NE WA.) to that of OHIO-INDIANA) WHAT??? That is like compairing the moon to mars ! Norm, for the past 35 years out of my 51, I have been a amateur Archaeologist, I have found over 450 artifacts in 4 counties in south west Ohio, I can Identify each and everyone, I have recorded all my finds. I have discovered 20 village sites! And for the past 35 years, I have been an amateur geologist, I can Identify the common rock typs that are Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. My favorite rocks to collect are the one of a kind, metamorphic rocks, and the basalts with subporphyritic texture.(like what is found in some achondrites) So if i may, let me tell you all about the morianes in Ohio and Indiana. On top of of the rocks(morians) is 8-10 inch's. of a sandy soil. (thats is where after 6 years of searching I found my 1st meteorite 4-9-2011) There are not that many glacier rocks, But a few, But also since 4-9. I found 2 fluted clovis points, in the same mix(there 10-14,000 years old). and 40ty other artifacts in this 8-10' of soil. Now when I walk the hill side it gets very rocky, the soil now is only 4-6deep on the moriane, But guess what in this rocky area is where I found my second banged-up chondrite! (which is different from the 1st!) and my third un-fluted paleo point, about 12 feet away! Now let me tell you a secret I have discovered after walking these rolling hills (morianes) for 35 years. Less then 10% of the rocks even in the rocky areas are brown or black! What color are fresh chondrites.Black, what color are weathered chondrites, BROWN So to all new meteorites hunters, If you can spot the brown marbles in a bag of mixed multi-colored marbles, you can find meteorites even in the rocky hill side of a morianein ohio,indiana, and Illinoise that is. Now back to what I found, yes I am only guessing about there age, most of my UNWA stones are slices, end cuts of have very black fusion crust on them. What I found looks more weathered, So yes I still may be very wrong to there age. Also the glacier ice was 2-5 miles high, the bull-dozer moriane piles are at the bottom of the ice, How long did it take the ice to build befor its advance south, 100,150,000,YEARS? how many meteorites were traped in the ice during that time frame. ? So Norm, I was not talking about the meteorites on the ground before the glacier came, But common sense tells me that any meteorites IN THE ICE, when the ice melts, WILL BE ON TOP OF THE MORIANE. NOW FOR THE ID COMMENTS! 20 DEALERS ON HERE SALE, unwa-chondrites, I have got them and other meteorites from 4 of you. (they are 100%) gurenteed to be meteorites? So for what I know about rocks, in my area, and the pictures of what you all sold me, know that they are real meteorites! Now, after 6 years of searching for meteorites, only after 4-9-2011 Have I found 2 stones that, look like chondrites. There is now doubt that are both chondrites. There are NO OTHER ROCKS ON EARTH, THAT LOOK LIKE a L or H chondrite! so they do not have to be ID, but yes they do need to get classifide. Wow, I cannot waite to here the comments after I post photos of my 3 possiable achondrites I found on the same glacier morian. LOL Here are photos of the glacier moraine I am hunting, The 1st 4 photos are the more rocky hill side, the other photos are the top of the morine that have little rocks showing where I found the 1st meteorite http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.233863486630644.81086.10209843157l=601eb88043 - Original Message From: Norm Lehrman nlehr...@nvbell.net To: Dave Myers whitefalcons...@yahoo.com Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Fri, June 10, 2011 9:08:35 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Illinois, Indiana, Ohio glacial deposits All, I fear this thread may be counter-productive for any that are just getting started in the search for meteorites. The glacier angle is, in this case, thin ice. First, Antarctica is a very special case: in general glacial moraines are an absolutely horrible place to look. I'm with Mike. If you've got genuine meteorites, they probably have nothing at all to do with the moraine deposits. Second, I'm also with Anne: the starting place here is to confirm the ID. This is one

[meteorite-list] OT: Facebook Meteorite group
Hi All, Apologies for the off-topic post. I'm trying to delete myself from the Facebook Meteorite group because the number of messages/posts per day is insane. Of course, navigating through Facebook's pages, I have yet to find a way to do so. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rob P.S. Given how hard Facebook has made it to leave a group, I will never join another one. __ 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
