Re: [meteorite-list] Breaking News- Major Bolide Reported over Tabatinga, Brasil 6JUL2011
Hello Dirk, I've seen this on TV here in Brasil but they aren't giving so much attention to this. As I think you notice, it seems to be a re-entry of some rocket piece launched in French Guyana. I haven't found any information yet, but this isn't the first time that a bolide like this is seen in that region of the country. I think this indicates that it's probably only space trash. I'll keep looking for information. Regards!

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - June 26, 2011
Hello everybody! Very nice this meteorite super trump! Early this year I was trying to create one on my own, but I was without time to continue searching the informations to put on it... Is anybody selling it on the internet? It'll probably make success among the meteorite collectors! Thanks for share it with us! Regards. Gabriel G.

[meteorite-list] One more offcial meteorite from 2010.
Hello list I just want to share with everybody this information. These days, one more meteorite from 2010 was accept in the Meteoritical Bulletin: the Varre-Sai meteorite. This L5 from Brazil brings to 3 the number of official falls from 2010 (along with Mifflin and Lorton). (link: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?sea=Varre-Saisfor=namesants=falls=valids=stype=containslrec=50map=gebrowse=country=Allsrt=namecateg=Allmblist=Allrect=phot=snew=0pnt=Normal%20tablecode=53633 ) I hope that the Kocise and the Breja falls join to them soon.

[meteorite-list] Uruaçu shield shape.
Hello list, I'm a meteorite collector from Brazil and I've already had oportunity to see many fragments from the Uruaçu fall. Talking, this week, with a friend that also have some big Uruaçus, we realize that many of the bigger fragments (more than 1 kg) usually have a shield shape, more usually than other iron meteorites. I was thinking to myself if there is a specific reason for this or if it's only a coincidence. Does anybody know why this could happen?

Re: [meteorite-list] 2008 - A busy year for Falls (Nine) - Any other busy years?
Hello, Nice page Mike. I can say that you could include one more meteorite in this list. Here in Brazil we had a fall after a fireball of June 19. The fisrt fragment was found in the city of Varre-Sai (Rio de Janeiro state), and other fragments were found since then (I think that the total now is around 5), including a fragment found in the neighboor city in the Espirito Santo state. The only site in english I found is this one: http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.com/2010/06/brazil-meteor-fireball-produces.html And this is a possible video of the event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylTTBM2rBq8 Regards, Gabriel Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:34:43 -0400 From: Galactic Stone Ironworks meteoritem...@gmail.com Subject: [meteorite-list] 2008 - A busy year for Falls (Nine) - Any otherbusy years?

Oddly, there were no recorded falls in 2005. I find that hard to believe. Surely one meteorite must have fallen somewhere during 2005. Does anyone know of any good 2005 candidates that were never recovered?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite 20 Questions - Answer and Share if you Dare. :)
1) When did you start collecting? (how long ago) Around 4 or 5 years ago. 2) What first interested you about meteorites? My mom teach me to love astronomy, but I've always looked for something more tangible in it. Once, in a meteor shower, I've realised that meteorites could be a way. Then, I've started to learn about meteorites and that I could collect them. 3) What was your first meteorite purchase, and from whom? Well, there were two first meteorites. My first first meteorite I've bought from a mineral store in a city called Campinas (here in Brazil), but one year later I realise that it was a meteorwrong. My second first meteorite is a Bendego that I've bought from a serious brazilian dealer. 4) How many meteorites or localities do you currently have in your collection? 23 and growing (slowly, but growing, hehe). 5) If you had to know for insurance purposes, what do you value your entire collection at? - in dollars - ballpark figure OK, or just say none of your business. I don't know. I think that I'll never stop to calculate how much they could cost, they are priceless for me. 6) What is your favorite meteorite and why? My favorite meteorite from my collection or from all? In my collection is my Campos Sales - It shows the exact things that I could expect from an stony meteorite, from the crust untill the condrules. From all the meteorites in the world it's the Marília meteorite - It's fallen only 30 km from where I live but it'd happened 18 years before I've been born. Its strewfield is the only one I've ever been in. 7) Have you ever found a meteorite in the field? Unfortunately no... 8) Did you ever get the deal of a lifetime on a meteorite? If so, what was it? No. 9) Did you ever go through the ordeal of a lifetime to obtain a meteorite? If so, please explain. Well, I'm still in a 5 years battle to get at least a small amount of the Marilia from one of the hard-to-deal museums from Brazil. 10) Have you ever consumed meteoritic material? (If so, how or under what circumstances?) Probably. Last month I was trying to open a small window in a uNWA in my home and it made a lot of dust. Probably some fell over some biscuits near me that I ate after end the work, hehe. 11) Does your spouse share your meteorite passion, is ambivalent towards it, or resents it? My girlfriend says the they are nice, but doesn't go beyond this. 12) Have you ever let a bill go unpaid or late to buy a meteorite? No. 13) A perfectly oriented, fully crusted, baseball-sized, lunar meteorite crashes through your roof and lands in your lap while you are reading this. It's the most gorgeous aesthetically-superior specimen you have ever seen - like Lafayette, but better. It legally belongs to you. What do you do with it? Well, first of all, I'd go nuts! After some hours to calm down, I think I'd take some photos and document everything. I'd take the pieces of the roof and of everything touched by the meteorite (less me, of course, hehe) to donate to a museum. I'd cut the meteorite in half and take the front part for me. The other half I'd take to classify and the rest I'd donate to museums and closer friends that collect meteorites (except one slice that I'd swap for a Marilia piece). 14) Statistics have caught up with someone. Anne Hodges will no longer be the only documented person to be struck by a falling meteorite. Assuming the next person struck could be anyone and you could pick that person, who would it be? (silly answers only, nothing mean or political) If it wouldn't wound anyone, I think I'd choose my daddy. He'd finaly look the meteorites with other eyes, hehe. 15) You are awarded the honor of selecting one specimen to keep from any meteorite collection in the world. What would it be? OMG, this is really a hard question... All meteorites that I can think of (even the Marilia) are so incredibly beautiful that, if I could get them, I'd put in a museum again... 16) Have you ever sold or donated your entire collection, and then had to rebuild it? No. 17) Summarize what you think about tektites in one sentence. Interesting material that calls the people attention due its history and that make a nice presence in a meteorite collection. 18) Which do you prefer - thin sections, whole specimens, slices, or endcuts? In order: whole specimens, end cuts, slices and thin sections. 19) Do you collect meteorwrongs? I'm at university by now, I don't have money enought for this and for the meteorites at the same time, hehe. Maybe something for the future... 20) Have you ever dropped a tiny crumb of a rare meteorite and lost it? Fortunately no (yet). Nice questions. I laught a lot thinking to answer them! __ 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
