[meteorite-list] 2021 Tucson show!
Hello Rock Nuts, I spoke with Stanley Chun, the manager of the Hotel Tucson City Center last week. He was very enthusiastic about the coming show. He said there was a meeting with the city of Tucson about the show and he was told that the city will be allowing the show. He said there will be the necessary protocols and the hotel will provide hand cleaner and masks. Stanley was very excited to share that the hotel parking lot has been torn up and they have replaced the entire parking lot and added even more surface where possible. There will be no tents on the asphalt parking lots and this will add 150 additional parking spaces. The hotel ownership continues to invest in making Hotel Tucson a premier experience. According to Stanley, there are a few show spaces still available. Patrick, Phil, and I will be set up and showcasing in our new suite #112, the same building but the first room facing the courtyard right by the entrance to the food tent. Wishing everyone good health and safety.

[meteorite-list] A meteorite friend has left us.
Many of you here on the list are not on Facebook. Thought I had better share the sad news that dear friend and mentor to many of us, Dick Pugh died this week. Dick was a wonderful guy, a science teacher, an educator to a world audience, a fireball expert, published author, a true mentor, and someone who anyone could approach to ask questions about meteorites. He was a country boy from Montana who lived his adult life in Oregon, teaching students, educating locals on native plants of Oregon, and replanting them in organized events. Dick was a walking, talking encyclopedia of the geologic history of the Northwest and over the years he recruited tens of thousands of meteorite hunters. Dick had a way of making difficult issues simple and putting things into layman’s terms so that understanding meteorites and hunting for them was easier to understand and get excited about. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I went into Portland, to the campus to meet with Dick for his lecture on meteorite identification and hunting for them. There on his desk was a collection of world-renowned dream specimens, from Henbury to Allende. I knew about meteorites and I had a couple, but this was my first encounter with a collection and its owner! I say it this way because I could not take my eyes off his collection of ‘eye candy’. This man infected me with a passion that has never faded. We had connected because I had seen a massive fireball driving home in mom’s 62 Volkswagen van the night of my 17th birthday on a cold, clear night in January. It took a month of searching before I was referred to the Northwest’s fireball expert. Dick asked me a list of questions over the phone about what I had witnessed. I could tell from the questions that this guy was taking what I had seen very seriously and that I had finally reached the right person. It was a little over a month later when Dick called to say, “well congratulations, your fireball was seen by 113 other witnesses!” Then he invited me down to the campus for his “two-bit lecture on meteorites and fireballs.” I’ll always remember what dick shared with me that day, he said “every year when the new classes start, I tell all my students, if you can predict the winning team for every Monday night football game for this coming season or you can find a new meteorite, you get an automatic A.” Two of his students went on to find new meteorites years after they graduated his class. Dick was the heart and soul of Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory. He left a Black Hole in our universe. He is up there right now throwing rocks at us! Rest well dear friend. __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] A note from E.T.
Hi Folks, I am writing to pay homage to James Tobin and Paul Harris for all that they do for the meteorite community. We all owe them a debt of gratitude for bringing the meteorite community together in so many ways. So much of what they do takes work , effort and dedication with virtually no reward or recognition. Many of us owe them for a great deal of the business we have enjoyed over the years. It is so incredibly unselfish of both of them to promote web based businesses in the marketplace. I was on the phone today with Jim when a call came in from Al Lang. Al asked a question that only Jim could answer so after merging the calls, we had a nice confab. Al is setting up at the 22nd street tent where he was located last year. He asked Jim if there was going to be a dealers list for the Tucson show coming up in a couple of weeks. Both Al and I learned just how thankless Jim and Paul's efforts really are. Jim replied that because all of the information must be input manually and because some people who don't send in their location information or do it too late, have berated them because they not featured on the coming show list, that they have considered not providing the list any longer. Jim related a story of a dealer who climbed their cage at the IMCA dinner last year because they were not on the list, even though they had not provided any location information. Its easy to understand why they would not want to deal with that grief again. I would like to personally and publicly thank Jim Tobin and Paul Harris, two of the nicest guys on this planet, for their generosity and all of the wonderful contributions they make to our hobbies, businesses and the amazing science that is Space and these beautiful rocks that fall from the sky!

To all of those in our meteorite community, some very sad news. Our dear friend and the guy with the biggest smile, Carlos Oddi passed away on December 30th. Carlos lost his battle with cancer but, he went out with pride, he was active and doing what he loved until nearly the end. Carlos was responsible for bringing to market: Rio Limay, Garabato, Laguna Manantiales and many other Argentine meteorites. For many of us who knew and loved him, his passing will leave a hole in our lives.

[meteorite-list] Possible meteorite trades
Hello to all list members, I am reaching out to the farthest corners of the known world to appeal to any and all collectors. Having dealt in and collected meteorites, tektites and related books since I was just a kid, collecting all kinds of rocks which included a few cherished meteorites as early as the age of six, life has been blessed with lots of treasured finds. By the age of nine my parents allowed me to go off on summer long geology exploring science camp trips with older kids. For three years this was how I spent my summers, digging in fossil beds and agate beds all across the Northwest, areas that have been closed to this sort of activity since the mid to late sixties. At age seven I joined the Oregon Archaeological Society and at age fourteen I was given the privilege of being a dig site foreman for a Scappoose Indian housing and burial site before it was built into the now dismantled Trojan Nuclear Energy Power Plant along the banks of the mighty Columbia river near my home here in Oregon. Over time, life has changed and my interests have changed with the exception of a few common threads. One of them being that rocks from Space are the coolest of all rocks! Many of you know that from 1987 until 2002 I displayed and sold meteorites, fossils and artifacts at roughly 48 gem and mineral shows each year around the western United States. During those wonderful years of travel both here and abroad, I had the joy and pleasure (and still do) of meeting collectors and seeing their amazing collections. What I have seen and I am sure that many of you can relate to this, is that most of us who collect rocks from Space, also collect other things. I have seen a collection of antique surfboards, a huge collection of ancient suits of armor, cannons, guns, diamonds, polished stone spheres, stamps, coins (I think coins are how Michael Casper made his fortune! Good for him!). I've seen amazing collections of fossils, minerals and gem stones in private homes and on and on. Long story made shorter, I stopped collecting these beloved meteorites when I formally started selling them back in 87'. I have learned that this might have been a huge mistake but it's the choice I felt I needed to make in order to pay the bills and to remain competitive in an ever shrinking world market. But, the collecting bug never went away, it just changed shape and theme. Here is the pitch; about 1990 I started collecting antique handmade glass marbles. These gorgeous, colorful treasures were made by glass workers in the Lauscha region of East Germany from approximately 1880 until 1920. They are rare and hard to find. I have amassed a large collection and yet am always searching for more. I would be delighted to trade meteorites, tektites or books, even art, rare wine or cashy money for any number of these marbles. If you are a marble collector then I would enjoy talking with you about your collection and collecting direction. Recently Patrick got infected by this same obsession and he is an avid collector of the more recent machine made marbles from as early as the 1920's and 30's and later. If you just want to talk marbles please drop me a line. If you know someone with marbles to sell or if you have some yourself, please give me a chance to make an offer. On a less selfish thread, I think it would be a lot of fun to read about the things that others collect. I recall the first time I met Mike Bandli in Tucson years ago he was dealing in Space surplus and he had a huge collection of super cool artifacts. I learned at this last Tucson show that John Kashuba and I have nearly matching collections of rare, old wines. Hey, there is a meteorite collector in New York who collects live scorpions! And who hasn't seen Bruce Wegman's digital watch collection? Come on folks, share the fun!

Hello list members, I am searching for a bottle of Meteor wine. A friend would like to include one in his public meteorite display.

I have seen several different bottles with meteors on the label over the years. If you have a spare bottle please kindly contact me. The bottle can be empty of contents and could be returned after being displayed. Purchase or trade could be considered. Just doing a favor for a long time friend.

[meteorite-list] 2016 E.T. meteorite giveaway!
The January, 2016 meteorite giveaway! I didn't win the powerball lottery last night, but am still feeling the spirit of giving. Digging through the vaults, preparing and packing for the Tucson show, I came across these cosmic gems and decided to give them away. The oriented Gao stone was broken and glued together long before I bought it 10 years ago. It weighs 7.6 grams. The Amgala stone (Oum Dreyga) is very fresh, lighting makes it look more weathered than it really is. I bought this stone on one of many trips to Northwest Africa, this trip was in January of 2004. It is a gorgeous stone, complete but for one surface which broke in flight and was partially healed over with secondary fusion crust. The primary fusion crust on this 48 gram stone is black as night with a purple hue similar to that found in Allende or Murchison crust. The two end cuts of NWA-1906 are cuts from stones totaling one kilo of this R-4 type meteorite that I bought from Blaine Reed many years ago. So here is the deal. Write a private Email to etmeteori...@hotmail.com Please, don't write messages, we are busy preparing for Tucson and will not have the time to reply, much less read messages. Simply write your name in the body of the email and write this message; 'Count me in' I will collect names for a week, put them in a hat and have someone draw the name of the winner. Whether you are a dealer, collector, researcher, teacher, curator, curious kid or simply someone who enjoys winning free stuff, feel free to add your name to the hat. Next week we will draw a name, announce the winner and ship these magic Elf Stones to the lucky one. The winner will be announced next week! We will be in Tucson at Inn Suites - Hotel Tucson City Center from January 26th until around the 10th to 12th of February. In addition to minerals from my personal collection, fossils, books and meteorites, we will be sharing lots of fine tequila and bourbon. Come on by for a dram of Pappy! More party, less work! Hoping Patrick makes his promised four day appearance this year.

[meteorite-list] An annual meteorite gathering
http://meteorites.pdx.edu/fundraiser.htm Hello list members, this is an invitation to a meteorite event at Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory at Portland State University in beautiful Portland, Oregon. For over ten years, we have held fun, successful fundraising banquets, sales and auctions to raise money to support the work done at C.M.L. (Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory). In the early years, the events were held here at my home featuring wonderful steaks, salmon and vegetarian on the grill. The wine and beer flowed endlessly in an effort to warm up the bidding. The auctions have always been great fun. Many of you may know our auctioneer Peter Abrahams. He is very well known in Astronomy circles and a long time meteorite collector. Peter handles the auction in a unique, intellectual and entertaining fashion. Your guaranteed to enjoy his style. The CML meteorite event quickly outgrew my home and has moved to the university. Just as CML has taken on a life of its own and grown into a substantial institution, we hope that this event will grow in size. This is an invitation to all members of the international meteorite community: researchers, curators, educators, dealers, hunters and collectors. In the future we hope to have a large vendor area, displays and lectures, food, drink, friends, trading, auction and field trips to places like our local active volcano (Mt St. Helens) and the Columbia Gorge. For you beer lovers, Portland is referred to as the microbrewery capital of the world! If you wish to be one of the pioneers and attend the first of this new era of CML events, please contact us through the link above. There will be selling tables for dealers who wish to attend this year's Spring 2015 CML event. Please support the lab with a visit to the beautiful Northwest and Portland, the river city!

[meteorite-list] ad - meteorite books
Hi folks, Over the years of my life I have amassed a large collection of books on numerous favorite subjects. In an effort to continue writing the series, 'The Meteorite Chronicles' I will be attempting to sell many of the books from this collection. The plan for now is to spend one week each month listing books on EBay and the other remaining three weeks writing. There are many books on each of these subjects: Meteoritics, Paleontology, Egyptology, Archaeology, Art History, Native Peoples and Artifacts of the Pacific Northwest, Astronomy, Travel, Classic Literature, Art and Art History. There are also a number of signed first editions from scientists and also from classic authors like T.S. Elliot, Tolkien and Samuel Clemens. When I chose to turn my meteorite collecting hobby into a business many years ago I also decided that it was important to me to put it all out there on the table and not hold back the best for myself. But, the collector in me turned to other collectibles in substitution of this denial. This collection of antiquarian and rare books is a reflection of that substitution. If the book collection thins out more rapidly than expected then I will turn on the art collection. Listed on EBay at this time are a number of books on Meteoritics and also Paleontology and just for fun I listed a signed Dr. Seuss and a book signed by T.S. Eliott. If you have interest, the EBay I.D. is etmeteorites. Please file me as a favorite vendor and you can see additional listings in future days. There are easily more than 10,000 books and a number of them are from the 1600's to 1800's. Just last night listed a wonderful book translated from Latin to English in 1694, a large antiquarian book on early sciences which includes a chapter on meteors, very cool beans! My sincerest thanks to everyone who bought the new book, EarthUnder at the Tucson show. By the time I got home last week I had sold out of both the hardbound and paperback editions. If you buy a copy from your local book store or on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Inkwater Press, drop me a line if you wish and I will gladly mail you a signed bookplate. Book two; SkyThunder will be out soon. Thank you all more than words can say for your support. I am proud to be a part of this community.

[meteorite-list] EarthUnder - The Meteorite Chronicles debuts in Tucson - 2015
Hello list members, My new book, a science fiction/adventure, will debut at the Tucson show this year. We will be in the same suite #106 at Inn Suites/ Hotel Tucson City Center. The first in the series, EarthUnder - The Meteorite Chronicles will be available in late January. I have always aspired to write science fiction novels and finally put pen to paper and finished this first offering. Am now well into book two and hope you all enjoy the story. You may find yourself in my books. If you recognize something in one of the characters that reminds you of yourself, well... Some of you know that I have written for many years and although I didn't do well in high school English classes, I went back to college in the eighties and found my passion for words and writing. I joined the Willamette Writers Guild in 1987 with the dream of someday doing just this very thing. The book will be available in E-books through Amazon and all other on-line outlets by early February. The paperback issue will be available through libraries and bookstores around the same time. I will have copies of the book available at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show.

[meteorite-list] Karoonda
Hello Bob and list, For those of you who have held onto Edwin Thompson Meteorites mail order catalogs dating from October 1984 up until the Spring 2001 final catalog, there are a number of sizeable pieces of Karoonda. In fact, until recently I still had very nice thin sections of Karoonda. I believe the last of these went to Dr. Phreddie Olsen in Denver. Yes, Denver Box famed Phreddie. A number of the larger pieces of Karoonda went to an Oregon collector who specialized back in those day in carbonaceous chondrites. If you check with Blaine Reed, Marlin Cilz, Alan Lang and David New directly, I think you will find that there are a number of nice sized pieces of Karoonda out there in private collections. Collectors who still hold my old catalogs will see that I also featured a number of large pieces and slices of Axtell, Isna ,Ivuna, Murray, Colony, Ornans, Leoville Al Rais, Murchison Allende, and more. For those of you meteorite freaks who love to get crazy over what cannot be had, the catalogs from 1998 to 2001 featured pieces of the Nakhlite; Lafayette. If wishes were horses, I would ride back in time and get those pieces back.
