[meteorite-list] Mbale slices - Ad
Happy Groundhog Day everyone! I recently came across a nice Mbale L5/6 stone and have had some very nice slices taken off one end. One face was broken, so they have about a 60% crusted edge. Some excellent shock veins are prominent throughout each of the slices. Average weight is around 5 grams and they measure about 35x18x2.5mm. I'll have these with me in Tucson, if you happen to be there, but can send photos to anyone who might be interested. I don't have individual photos yet, but I can send you the 'family photo' showing them all, for easy comparison. :^) I really like the story behind this witnessed fall and think these slices are really sweet. The stone was featured on the January 10 MPOD. Thank you for your consideration. Linton *** TKW 150kg. Observed fall: 1992 August 14, Mbale, Uganda. The fall occurred in a heavily populated area in and around the city of Mbale. A loud explosion was heard which persisted for some time as a rumbling noise. For about two minutes a grayish-white smoke trail was seen. A meteorite shower fell over an area of about 3 x 7 km. The stones hit several buildings, and a boy was harmlessly hit in the head with a small 3 gm stone which had been slowed down considerably by its passage through a canopy of banana leaves (making this fall, along with Sylacauga, one of only two verifiable incidents of a meteorite striking a human being). The Ugandan military and other citizens took it upon themselves to break many of the stones, grind up the material into a fine powder and drink it with liquid, as it was assumed that their god had sent a cure for AIDS to them from the skies. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Holbrook ground conditions?
I'm packing up to head down tto Tucson and I've been planning to stop in at Holbrook on the way and try to make my first (long-overdue) find. Has anyone been there recently and/or know if there''s any snow on the ground there? We had a couple inches here in southern Utah (6850'), but it's mostly melted now. Much obliged, Linton __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Apollo Moon Rocks On eBay
During an unrelated call having to do with raising my sell $ limit to a measly $15k, I even pointed it it out to them and asked how this lunatic (pun intended) could post such an expensive item when I had to call in to get mine raised. No satisfactory answer was given but they "would look into it". Mendy Ouzillou On Feb 2, 2013, at 9:59 AM, "Joshua Tree Earth & Space Museum" wrote: I don't get it.
