[meteorite-list] Microscope images
Dear list! I have made images with my microscope of the outer polished surface. Many area has got shiny metallic light and gray or gold color. Of course the part of the shale is brown. In my opinion that this pice has content mainly shale material with some not full oxidized metal. Maybe this part closed to the metal core of the main Hoba. Today I have tried upload the images fro my server and give you links to the images. And the other way can be a laser-spot analisis for the metallic spots. Thank you any expert information! Iam sorry for a weight dimension because in Europe we use the ISO standard and the decimal sign in ISO the , and not .. Of course you can see the 1 cm scale cub in the images and the small part is not able to over 3 kg:) because in this case the scale cub should be much bigger. And finally is true that Anne's list see that is a shale, but the in image looks metallic similar shine. Best Regards!

Re: [meteorite-list] Hoba shale or not shale?
Hi List, This brings up a RELATED question I've carried around with me for 15 years, having carried (rolled) a ~150lb mystery rock a mile to my truck way back then, suspecting something. To this day, despite my familiarity with most classes of meteorites and a worthy collection, I still don't rule it out, wondering if the few small chipped-off outside pieces might actually be shale and hence inconclusive for meteorite diagnostic, unlike the interior (it has never been cut.) Q: Would a TS of the shale reveal anything potential about a TS of the interior; would the shale itself have any residual diagnostics that rule in anything; and, does the Hoba shale look terrestrial? I have a TS of the exterior chips, and it seems weird and I've never had anyone definitely conclude yes or no...Blaine shot a piece last year with his magic gun last year (a small 3gr exterior chip) at the show, and it fired off a ton of elements, shrugs all around. It doesn't look like I'll make the show this year, but if anyone wants to see a picture of the whole thing, send me an email and I'll send photos.

Hi Zsolt. Reason I ask is that I know that trying to find some real actual Hoba cut from the meteorite is very hard to acquire and very very expensive. Even today the shale alone is getting difficult to acquire. I acquired a 3+ gram polished piece many years ago from Rob Elliott and the shale had lots of nice metal inside (still in my collection and can be seen here: http://www.ctreasurescwonders.com/meteorite_collection.html * But it is still shale and no where near the value of an actual piece off the Hoba meteorite (metal). It appears that yours resembles shale but only Anne Black who you purchased from can truly confirm this. The outside appearance of your piece listed on eBay resembles mine from Rob Elliott. Again even the shale is hard to acquire...been quite a few years since I seen much available until your post.

[meteorite-list] Herschel Telescope Detects Water on Dwarf Planet Ceres
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-020 Herschel Telescope Detects Water on Dwarf Planet Jet Propulsion Laboratory January 22, 2014 Scientists using the Herschel space observatory have made the first definitive detection of water vapor on the largest and roundest object in the asteroid belt, Ceres. Plumes of water vapor are thought to shoot up periodically from Ceres when portions of its icy surface warm slightly. Ceres is classified as a dwarf planet, a solar system body bigger than an asteroid and smaller than a planet. Herschel is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission with important NASA contributions. This is the first time water vapor has been unequivocally detected on Ceres or any other object in the asteroid belt and provides proof that Ceres has an icy surface and an atmosphere, said Michael Kuppers of ESA in Spain, lead author of a paper in the journal Nature. The results come at the right time for NASA's Dawn mission, which is on its way to Ceres now after spending more than a year orbiting the large asteroid Vesta. Dawn is scheduled to arrive at Ceres in the spring of 2015, where it will take the closest look ever at its surface. We've got a spacecraft on the way to Ceres, so we don't have to wait long before getting more context on this intriguing result, right from the source itself, said Carol Raymond, the deputy principal investigator for Dawn at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Dawn will map the geology and chemistry of the surface in high resolution, revealing the processes that drive the outgassing activity. For the last century, Ceres was known as the largest asteroid in our solar system. But in 2006, the International Astronomical Union, the governing organization responsible for naming planetary objects, reclassified Ceres as a dwarf planet because of its large size. It is roughly 590 miles (950 kilometers) in diameter. When it first was spotted in 1801, astronomers thought it was a planet orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Later, other cosmic bodies with similar orbits were found, marking the discovery of our solar system's main belt of asteroids. Scientists believe Ceres contains rock in its interior with a thick mantle of ice that, if melted, would amount to more fresh water than is present on all of Earth. The materials making up Ceres likely date from the first few million years of our solar system's existence and accumulated before the planets formed. Until now, ice had been theorized to exist on Ceres but had not been detected conclusively. It took Herschel's far-infrared vision to see, finally, a clear spectral signature of the water vapor. But Herschel did not see water vapor every time it looked. While the telescope spied water vapor four different times, on one occasion there was no signature. Here is what scientists think is happening: when Ceres swings through the part of its orbit that is closer to the sun, a portion of its icy surface becomes warm enough to cause water vapor to escape in plumes at a rate of about 6 kilograms (13 pounds) per second. When Ceres is in the colder part of its orbit, no water escapes. The strength of the signal also varied over hours, weeks and months, because of the water vapor plumes rotating in and out of Herschel's views as the object spun on its axis. This enabled the scientists to localize the source of water to two darker spots on the surface of Ceres, previously seen by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes. The dark spots might be more likely to outgas because dark material warms faster than light material. When the Dawn spacecraft arrives at Ceres, it will be able to investigate these features. The results are somewhat unexpected because comets, the icier cousins of asteroids, are known typically to sprout jets and plumes, while objects in the asteroid belt are not. The lines are becoming more and more blurred between comets and asteroids, said Seungwon Lee of JPL, who helped with the water vapor models along with Paul von Allmen, also of JPL. We knew before about main belt asteroids that show comet-like activity, but this is the first detection of water vapor in an asteroid-like object. The research is part of the Measurements of 11 Asteroids and Comets Using Herschel (MACH-11) program, which used Herschel to look at small bodies that have been or will be visited by spacecraft, including the targets of NASA's previous Deep Impact mission and upcoming Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-Rex). Laurence O' Rourke of the European Space Agency is the principal investigator of the MACH-11 program. Herschel is a European Space Agency mission, with science instruments provided by consortia of European institutes and with important participation by NASA. While the observatory stopped making science observations in April 2013, after running out of liquid coolant, as expected, scientists continue to analyze its

[meteorite-list] AD ** Pristine 100g Park Forest - Taking offers for three more days
Hi all, I'll be accepting offers for three more days. Very fresh Park Forest meteorite recovered hours after the fall. I can show you the spot where it was picked up within 10 to 20 feet using google maps. Lots of character: Patches of extra thick fusion crust. 85% crusted overall. Area of fusion crust misted over by a spray of matrix material. Metal blebs melted into puddles on the surface, one of which is relatively large. Regmaglypts and more. I'm sure there are many features that I've missed or just don't recognize. I'm not the best photographer so I've tried to make up for the lack of high quality pics with quantity. The pictures don't do the specimen justice. The crust is a rich black color with the lighter matrix indicative of Park Forest's dual lithology. There aren't many, if any, PF specimens of this quality left in circulation and of course, satisfaction is unconditionally guaranteed.

Helo Bob, All, I agree, they definitely look different. 'Nuff said. You could assume microclimates, but I wouldn't start putting forth a hypothesis like that without something substantial like argon data to tie the two stones together. The Meteoritical Bulletin is clear on pairing: http://meteoriticalsociety.org/?page_id=59 a) Level of scrutiny. Sequential names comprising a prefix and numeric suffix will be given to new meteorites without checking for possible pairings, although a single (collective) name may be given in cases where fragments fit together or similar-looking fragments are found within a few meters of each other. b) Pairing groups. Two or more newly discovered meteorites in dense collection areas may be considered paired with each other or with another formally named meteorite if there is overwhelming evidence, including geographic data, that is consistent with the meteorites being part of a single fall. The evidence must be evaluated by the Committee. All approved members of a pairing group will be named with a geographic prefix plus a number in the same way as are unpaired meteorites; special type-specimen requirements will apply to newly paired meteorites (section 7.1f). If two or more numbered meteorites with formal names are subsequently determined to be paired, their names should not be changed. Pairing groups may be referred to collectively by the lowest specimen number, the most widely studied mass number or the largest mass number (e.g., the EET 87711 pairing group). To emphasize the important part, a single (collective) name may be given in cases where fragments fit together or similar-looking fragments are found within a few meters of each other. They look different and weren't found within meters; the necessary evidence clearly isn't there. Anything else is guesswork.

But what has me puzzled is something that is not all that apparent in our images. The exterior of our two stones. Your stone has a very well-preserved exterior (even though your interior is a uniformly-colored W3), whereas, my exterior (which is not visible in the image) is gone, actually eroded. Yet somehow, my stone's interior is less weathered than your stone (my stone was classified as W1). I wonder, if the interior of my stone were to weather to a W3, just how much it would look like your stone? But, to directly answer your question, I would have to refer you to my latest Meteorite-Times article: http://meteorite-recovery.tripod.com/2014/jan14.htm for my description of how a cluster of obviously-paired fragments found at SBW had such a variation in looks, that it prompted me to sample a number of them and to actually have two of those fragments classified. For your convenience, I'll show them here: Pinto Mountains -- (L6 S3 W1 Fa23.8+/-0.3% n=16; low-Ca pyroxene Fs20.3Wo1.5 n=17)-- 1955 stone San Bernardino Wash -- (L5 S2 W3 Fa24.6+/-0.6% (n=7) -- (UCLA type-specimen) -- 2010 stone San Bernardino Wash -- (L5 S1 W3 Fa24.0+/-0.2% (n=24) -- 2012A fragment San Bernardino Wash -- (L5 S2 W1 Fa23.8+/-0.4% (n=14) -- 2012B fragment This just might be a case of (very) micro-environments acting immediate to where each fragment is found, that is causing all of these differences.
