[meteorite-list] First meteorite found at Battle Mountain!
Greetings I am very pleased to announce that Bob and Moni Verish have found the first meteorite from the Battle Mountain meteorite fall, which occurred on 22 August 2012! They have located a 19.25g meteorite that appears to be an H chondrite at first examination. According to the Meteoritical Society database, this makes Bob and Moni the first to ever recover an observed fall in the state of Nevada! We offer our hearty congratulations for this history-making find! Details of the meteorite fall, to include radar imagery, seismometry and other data, a calculated strewn field estimate, and other information can be found on the Galactic Analytics LLC website: http://wp.me/p2AyTK-bg We would like to maintain a table of all the Battle Mountain (BaM) meteorites, much the same as Petrus Jenniskens did for the Sutter's Mill fall. This will improve the value of the meteorites to both scientists and collectors by preserving the individual histories of the meteorites. We will provide a copy of this list to everyone who locates a meteorite and adds their meteorite to it, and when the list has matured we will release it to the public. If you find a meteorite, please let us know about it! We are not asking for samples of any meteorite, just information about individual meteorites - the date of find, the mass, lat/long coordinates, and the name of the finder. Your meteorite(s) will be issued a unique BaM number, much as the Sutter's Mill meteorites were given SM numbers. Congratulations again to Bob and Moni for finding the newest meteorite on Earth (that we know about, anyways)!

[meteorite-list] camera fringing effects
Hello everyone, I hope you are all (for those in the US) enjoying the long holiday weekend. I have been researching cameras to take macro shots and taking photographs through my microscope. One thing I keep noticing is that many pictures taken by fellow list member seem to have a fringing/blurriness on the outside of the image. In other words, the center of the image is in focus and the outside is not. Ive noticed this as well with my photographs taken with my little Nikon Coolpix S8200 camera on any shot taken in macro mode. Question is, what causes this problem and what reasonably priced camera or camera+lens do you recommend that takes great macro shots an can be used with a microscope. Regarding the microscope photography, I was told to buy a standalone camera and hold it up to the eyepiece (which works very well by the way). However; if a microscope adapter is available, please let me know. Here is some feedback I have already received: 1) Canon 16 Mega Pixel Powershot A3300 IS . But the Cannon Elph series is very good also and the smaller cameras are better because they don't cast shadows on your subjects. 2) Nikon D300 (nice but expensive). 3) Sony DSC-W570 16.1MP Thanks!

[meteorite-list] The ultimate Type Collection List
Hello everyone, One more email to keep everyone busy. I'd like to put together the ultimate Type Collection list and am quite sure someone has already started one. I'd like to use this for myself as well as post it on my website for everyone to enjoy. Here is what I am looking for: 1) A complete list of meteorite types. For example, from shergottite there are Basaltic, Lherzolitic and Olivine-phyric. Maybe there are some unusual variations or anomalous versions of these as well. 2) Specific meteorite(s) that best represent that category. These examples should be obtainable (i.e. no Antarctic specimens that fall under treaty restrictions) even if incredibly hard to find. If you have some of these specimens for sale, I would be happy to provide a link to the specific page on your website. Whatever you have, I will be happy to receive. I will merge, edit and format and then share with everyone.

Re: [meteorite-list] The ultimate Type Collection List
Hi Mendy, Here is a type list and collecting guide I put together, drawing largely on David Weir's authoritative website - http://www.galactic-stone.com/pages/types There are a couple of types that are almost impossible to find on the collector market, like Kakangari. There are also some types that are not commonly agreed upon, or are no longer approved as official nomenclature, like Olivine Diogenite. If I recall correctly, this is a type that is no longer being accepted for approval and they are now lumped in with the rest of the diogenites. And speaking of which, there are sub-types that are difficult to acquire, but are not official types, like Noritic Diogenite. Building a complete type collection is a daunting task that many collectors eventually abandon, but it's still a worthy goal. :) Best regards, MikeG -- - Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/GalacticStone RSS - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 - On 9/3/12, Mendy Ouzillou ouzil...@yahoo.com wrote: Hello everyone, One more email to keep everyone busy.

Re: [meteorite-list] The ultimate Type Collection List
No, olivine diogenite is a classification that is accepted for the Met Bull, and there are several in press in MB100. I remind everybody that there is no such thing as official nomenclature [of meteorite classifications]. The nomcom tends to be conservative, and generally does not start adopting new kinds of classifications until they come into use in the literature, beyond the original proposer's work. But nomcom does not vote to certify new terms, or anything of the sort. Nobody does.

Building a complete type collection is a daunting task that many collectors eventually abandon, but it's still a worthy goal. :) Best regards, MikeG __ 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 __ 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

A word of caution to those hunting this area. Avoid the south end of the dry lake for access. There are numerous hydrothermal springs at that end which makes for a hard crust about an inch thick over hot sticky mud. There are vehicle trails to the lake from that end BUT they were made in winter when it was partly frozen. Believe me stay out of this area unless on a Quad. I know after a $260 extraction and being stranded overnight looking at Squaws Tit in the distance. Congratulations to Moni and Bob. Two of the best in my books.

[meteorite-list] Portales Valley (H6) Slices with Fantastic Lightning Bolt Metal - Found by SKIP WILSON!
Hi all, After I placed my last Denver Blow Out Sale ad I received so much response that I thought I'd list an update. Even though I said I was all packed and really didn't want to unpack to make sales before Denver, I had no choice. There was just too much demand for my specimens at these LOW prices. I sold a lot so If you were interested in something you'd better re-check the list to see if it's been sold. UPDATE: I just received a few outstanding Portales Valley (H6) Slices with Fantastic Lightning Bolt Metal that I'll also have for sale in Denver. These were prepared by Marvin Kilgore and the stone was found by SKIP WILSON! For those of you that don't know who Skip Wilson is let me explain. He's only the most successful American meteorite hunter ever! This prolific hunter has found - and had classified - over one hundred and twenty five meteorites! These include two urelites, one achondrite and several beautiful Portales Valley meteorites - one that nearly struck his house. For nearly forty years Skip has been scouring remote areas of New Mexico for extra-terrestrial treasure. An amazing fact about Skip is that he's found an incredible two hundred and eleven meteorites total (99 % were cold finds) and all were made in New Mexico. One meteorite came from De Baca County, three from Lea County, four from Curry County and the remaining two hundred and three coming from within Roosevelt County! Act soon and don't miss this opportunity to have one of his VERY collectable finds in your collection - as I'll only have 3 - 4 specimens for sale! Call or email with any questions, directions while in Denver, or just to say hi - 602 481 9780 Allende (Larger sized 100 gram - 200 gram) Fragments with crust! 8 kilo crusted NWA stony @ .25 per gram Ash Creek (L6) end cut and individuals Bassikounou (H5 ) individuals Brenham (PAL) slices large and small Bondoc large fragments Buzzard (H4) individuals, slices Campo (Iron) slices, and individuals Cat Mountain (Imp-melt) slices Chergach (Mali) individuals Cleo Springs (H4) slices Cocklebiddy (H5) slices Dimmitt (H4) slices El Hammami (H5) slices Franconia (H5) slices, fragments and individuals Galatia (L6) slices Gebel Kamil (Iron Ung) individuals Ghubara (L5 ) slices Gibeon (Iron ) individuals Glorieta (PAL) slices (siderite) and individuals (pallasite) Gold Basin (L6 ) slices, fragments and individuals Henbury (Iron) individuals Holbrook (L/LL6) individuals Imilac (PAL) small individuals JAH (H5) slices Juancheng (H5) slices La Criolla (L6) slices Monze (L6) slices Millbillillie (Euc) individuals Mundrabilla (Iron) individuals Muonionalusta (Iron) slices large and small Nantan (Iron) small crystal individuals NWA 869 (L4-6) “ NWA 2932 (Meso) “ NWA 4502 (CV3) “ Palo Verde Mine (L6) “ Portales Valley (H6) “ slices Richfield (LL3.7) “ SAU 001 Sahara 98094 (H5) slices Seymchan (PAL) “ iron slices and 100% pallasite slices Sikhote Alin (Iron) individuals Toluca (Iron) slices and end cut Thika (L6) Thuathe (H4-5) individuals Wagon Mound (L6) slices White Court (Iron) individuals Zag (H3-6) slices -- Rock On!

They have located a 19.25g meteorite that appears to be an H chondrite at first examination. According to the Meteoritical Society database, this makes Bob and Moni the first to ever recover an observed fall in the state of Nevada! We offer our hearty congratulations for this history-making find! Details of the meteorite fall, to include radar imagery, seismometry and other data, a calculated strewn field estimate, and other information can be found on the Galactic Analytics LLC website: http://wp.me/p2AyTK-bg We would like to maintain a table of all the Battle Mountain (BaM) meteorites, much the same as Petrus Jenniskens did for the Sutter's Mill fall. This will improve the value of the meteorites to both scientists and collectors by preserving the individual histories of the meteorites. We will provide a copy of this list to everyone who locates a meteorite and adds their meteorite to it, and when the list has matured we will release it to the public. If you find a meteorite, please let us know about it! We are not asking for samples of any meteorite, just information about individual meteorites - the date of find, the mass, lat/long coordinates, and the name of the finder. Your meteorite(s) will be issued a unique BaM number, much as the Sutter's Mill meteorites were given SM numbers.

Hello List, Many of you have met my elder daughter Lauren In Tucson Show the several times she has been there with me over the years. Well, In just 2 weeks Lauren is getting married! I know, it is hard to believe, and that you all remember her when she was just this tall. Well, it is true, and her mother and I are very excited. And we wanted to take this opportunity toinvite ALL of you to... help us pay for it! I have some bills with the wedding still to pay for, andsome other non-wedding bills as well, and so I am very motivated to make somegreat deals this week. Up for negotiation are someof the following: Gibeon Anvil Slices. Reduced to $499. Originally Priced at $900, for a VERY LIMITED TIME, and for a LIMITED number of slices, I am reducing the price per slice to $499 each! Yes, you read that correctly. Just $499. If you didn't read my post to the list on Aug 7, I have copied at the bottom of this email AND the current issue of Meteorite Magazine has a great story about the specimen written by my wife Qynne. I will consider cutting one slice into halves or into 4 quarters if and only if I have all (two or four) parts spoken for, and the cost per half will be $299 and the cost per 1/4 will be $199. All slices are priced the same, no matter how thick or how big, as each slice tells the same story. Please ask for specific details. Photos can be seen here: http://s361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/stevearnoldpmh/Gibeon%20Anvil%20Slices/ Gibeon Anvil Main Mass, 41kg. $410,000 OK, I am joking. I really don't know what it is worth, and not sure what I would sell it for, but I would entertain any offer that included at least a nice chunk of cash and possibly some trade material. Brenham Slices. Some large 20 inch wide 600g to 2.5 kg oriented full slices available and some part slices from the 351 kg oriented mass. Ask for details and prices. Ash Creek individuals and slices. I have a few Ash Creek individuals and huge full slices available and am willing to deeply discount them. Meteorite Magnets in large numbers at discounted prices., If anyone wants $500 worth or $1000 worth of the meteorite Magnets personally autographed by me that I sell on ebay,, I will sell in bulk at very deep discounts. These sell GREAT at shows where you set up and sell to live people. Meteorite Riker Sets in large numbers at discounted prices. I am selling these like crazy out of my retail store. Retail priced at $9.99 up to $49.99, depending on the rock and the weight, these items do GREAT. See here: http://s361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/stevearnoldpmh/Riker%20Box%20Sets/ Caldwell Kansas slices or larger chunks, Ask. Fayetteville AR crumbs, Never on the market before, this fall happened just 3 miles from the University of Arkansas campus. I only have a couple of grams of crumbs. Go Hogs! Muonionalusta. 14.8 kg mass. Would chop in half or sell whole. Make offer. Once I get enough money for pressing matters, the sale will go off. If someone is really smart, I would not be surprised if someone would buy a big assortment of my Gibeon Anvil slices and the sale will be over before a lot of you even read this. But, who knows, if something interests you, check in with me just in case there is still time. Thanks.

Amazingly rare, historically significant, and way off the Wow Chart!Gibeon is one of the largest strewnfields in the world, with hundreds of large and thousands of smaller sizes specimens found since science discovered it in 1836. However, it is impossible to know how many tons of this meteorite had been found and used for millennia before 1836 by the natives in and around the huge Gibeon Strewnfield. It makes perfect sense that as people would find hunks of iron laying around, that they would take hammer sized pieces, and make hammers out of them, and take anvil sized pieces, and make anvils out of them and take smaller sized pieces and forge tools such as hoes, scrapers, knives, and spear points etc., out of those.Until now, I am an not aware that any meteorite
