Re: [meteorite-list] Important Message From the IMCA Board

Hi Jeff and all, I'm sure that everyone is thinking what I am thinking, and that is, if this individual was caught on these items, how many other items were not caught up to now? If I had dealt with this individual, I'd be asking if my other specimens were authentic. Some items are easy to

Hello, Wondering if anyone can fill in some blanks about Begaa. It was popularly bought and sold several years ago (and with good reason, gorgeous LL3! Unofficially, anyways). But I can't find any reference in the Meteoritical Bulletin. Not even as a synonym, so I'm thinking it must

Hey Folks, Just a few corrections to this original post. 1) It was Steve Farmer not Fisher who captured the video 2) It seems the end of the event was not captured by the camera, so it may have been a little longer. 3) As pointed out by Esko on meteorobs, the video has been slowed down 2x and

Hello List, Regarding the May 8, 2010 RFSPOD Some weeks ago I recieved confirmation that the little iron 'meteorite' with the hole through the center is in fact pure iron, a man made relic. All of you out there that knew it was too good to be true were spot on! (Those that wanted to buy

Of course it's still early days on understanding the Mercury data coming back from Messenger, but I think there are a few simple things that can be said about the two geochemical graphs that were part of the press release. The major element graph of Al/Si versus Mg/Si clearly shows that the

Thanks, Carl. That's was what I was hoping for. There are two Theories of Mercury --- the old one, that Mercury formed from inner disk materials, all iron and refractories, and the new one, that Mercury suffered a Giant Impact' which added its iron to the Mercurian core but blasted Mercury's

Mercury or not, whatever the Angrite parent body is/was is sure to be interesting once it is figured out. The oxygen isotope analysis sure points to a large, differentiated parent body. It makes me wonder about the moons in the Jovian system. Ganymede, for example, is larger than Mercury

Re: [meteorite-list] Mercury data

What they say about it: As to what to call these newfound objects, Wambsganss favors brevity. I think the most intuitive name is 'free-floating planets,' but if we decide to adopt that name then we have to give up one of our definitions of a planet, he says. A free-floating planet is a
