[meteorite-list] AD: BEAUTIFUL METEORITE COLLECTION FOR SALE

2012-11-08 Thread Davio L. Ribeca



Special Information: This sale if for United States Collectors/ Dealers,
only. I will not ship to foreign countries, sorry. However, if foreign 
interests have a U.S. mailing address that would be fine.


Hi All,
I'm re-emphasizing my meteorite collection (to planetary) and I'm selling 
most (~99%) of my beautiful collection. It includes an extensive library 
portfolio for each specimen in black clear-front three ring binders. The 
vast majority of specimens come with black metallic labels and display 
units. Also, complete and thorough provenance is provided for each specimen 
from IMCA members and established and reputable meteorite dealers/ sellers. 
E-mail me for a complete spreadsheet inventory of specimens and a photo 
gallery. Please inquire only if you are a serious dealer/ collector. I will 
not break up the collection. It's a beautiful collection with rare and hard 
to find specimens. Collection price, negotiable.


Note: Any transaction will naturally involve telephone communiques, so 
please feel free to leave your telephone number in your e-mail message.


Davio Ribeca
IMCA Member 4050

[meteorite-list] UK charges for opening packages?

2012-11-08 Thread Yinan Wang
Hi List,

I was wondering if this was a frequent occurrence or a recent
development: one of my UK clients was charged £30 by UK customs as a
service fee for customs opening, examining, and repacking an item. It
was a priority mail small flat rate box.

Is this going to be become standard? Is there a way a client can
appeal the charge?

Re: [meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update - 3 New African Approvals (Acfer and NWA)

2012-11-08 Thread jason utas
Hello MIke,
Perusing the data, I noticed the following phrase in the description
of the EL5: Opaque phases are mainly kamacite and troilite, almost
completely weathered to iron oxides.  --  And yet, the stone was
deemed W1?
Might someone qualified be willing to comment on this?  I'm confused.
Regards,
Jason

Yes, sounds like a mistake.  I'll investigate.

[meteorite-list] MRO HiRISE Images - November 7, 2012

2012-11-08 Thread Ron Baalke


MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
November 7, 2012

o Topography of Moving Dunes in Nili Patera
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_017762_1890

  Many HiRISE targets are imaged twice, close together in time, with 
  each image having a different viewing angle, allowing us to create a 
  digital elevation model, or DEM.

o The First Day of Southern Spring  
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028956_0930

  Like the Earth, Mars is tilted on its axis, and the sun crosses the 
  equator twice each year. On Earth we call this the equinox.

o A New Impact Site 
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_029015_1705

  What's unusual about this site is that it isn't as dusty as most places 
  where new impacts are discovered.

o Compositionally Diverse Bedrock   
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_029234_2015

  Regolith, particulate fragmented rock and fine grained soils, generally 
  covers most of the surface of Mars.

All of the HiRISE images are archived here:

http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/

Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is 
online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is 
managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division 
of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA 
Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Lockheed 
Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is the prime contractor 
and built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the 
University of Arizona. Ball Aerospace and Technologies 
Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument.

[meteorite-list] Mars Rover Opportunity Update: Oct 31 - Nov 6, 2012

2012-11-08 Thread Ron Baalke

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity

OPPORTUNITY UPDATE:  More Driving And Imaging At 'Matijevic Hill'  -
sols 3118-3124, Oct. 31, 2012-Nov. 6, 2012:

Opportunity is continuing the local area survey around the location
called Matijevic Hill (named in honor of Jake Matijevic) at the inboard
edge of Cape York on the rim of Endeavour Crater.

The rover performed three survey drives on Sols 3119, 3121 and 3124
(Nov. 1, 3 and 6, 2012), driving 125 feet (38 meters) south-southeast,
82 feet (25 meters) south-southeast, and 98 feet (30 meters) south,
respectively.

Each drive was preceded by the collection of targeted imagery and then
followed by taking a 360-degree Navigation camera (Navcam) panorama. Two
direct-to-earth (DTE) X-band sessions where supported on Sols 3120 and
3122 (Nov. 2 and 4, 2012), and an atmospheric argon measurement with the
Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) was performed on Sol 3122 (Nov.
4, 2012).

The project also implemented a new daily nadir check sequence. This new
sequence significantly reduces the number of power cycles on the rover's
inertial measurement unit (IMU). For the next week the Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter will be providing exclusive Ultra High Frequency
relay support during the Mars Odyssey side-swap campaign.

As of Sol 3124 (Nov. 6, 2012), the solar array energy production was 586
watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.605 and a solar array
dust factor of 0.604.

Total odometry is 21.96 miles (35,345.23 meters).

[meteorite-list] AD(sort of): Need advice on broken Nininger meteorite

2012-11-08 Thread Mendy Ouzillou
I have a 19.66g thick slice of Potter that was broken into 3 pieces during
shipment.  Thanks to an eBay listing, I now realize it has a Nininger number
on it: 476.277.  I am planning on selling it, but would like advice on the
best way to move forward.  Glue it back together or leave it as is?
Thanks,
Mendy
