Re: [meteorite-list] A vote for the Thomson Structure (and previewing 'The Fall of Aguas Zarcas CM2')
Hello Kevin and List Members, For anyone curious to see the original 1804 engraving found in Bibliotheque Britainnique, I put up a brief write-up of the original report a while back. It is not linked to the site, however, it can be found here: http://historicmeteorites.com/BK-Thomson.html Another vote for Thomson. Best wishes, Mike -- Mike Bandli Historic Meteorites http://www.HistoricMeteorites.com and join us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Meteorites1 IMCA #5765 --- From: Meteorite-list On Behalf Of Kevin Kichinka via Meteorite-list Sent: Monday, July 1, 2019 9:03 AM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] A vote for the Thomson Structure (and previewing 'The Fall of Aguas Zarcas CM2') Team Meteorite: Richard Montgomery references the 'Thomson Structure' today in a note regarding the sale of a Sikhote-Alin. Let me expand upon this topic, which I first wrote about in Meteorite (February, 2004), and again in my book in 2005. On February 6, 1804, the first description of the process that produces the mis-attributed 'Widmanstatten Pattern' in Irons was published, written by William Thomson. For various reasons, this paper was disregarded until some forensic science work was done in 1939 by R.T. Gunther. Alois von Widmanstatten (mit umlauts) duplicated the experiment in 1808. Karl Neumann published those results as a 'new discovery' in 1812. Francois P. Gillet de Laumont repeated the process, identifying the etched results, and published a paper in 1815. Carl von Schrieibers, director of the Vienna mineral and zoology cabinet, again published the results of Widmanstatten's 1808 work in 1820, naming the pattern after him. This was an un-earned honor, and many illustrious people have agreed. R.T. Gunther wrote about this error for Nature in 1939, attributing the discovery to Thomson. Max Hey, Keeper of the Minerals in the British Museum (Natural History) read the article and agreed with its conclusions. F.A. Paneth, in a paper published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (1960) wrote"Thomson undoubtedly...has priority." Charles D. Waterson published Thomson's biography in the University of Edinburgh Journal (1965) stating, "Thomson's discovery and description clearly has priority over Widmanstatten." Marjorie Hooker found Thomson's 1804 paper, and in 1974 wrote, "One of Thomson's contributions, long unrecognized, was the discovery of the Widmanstatten Pattern..." Roy S. Clark of the Smithsonian, wrote in Meteoritics (1977) "...Thomsons 1804 paper seems to have been completely ignored...", then he and Joseph Goldstein emphasized "Thomson's singular achievement" in Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences. Richard Norton wrote in 'Rocks from Space', "Thomson serendipitously discovered the figures first in 1804." In Norton's Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites, he also hoped, "In all fairness, this unique texture should have been called the Thomson...Structure." Hap McSween, former President of the Meteoritical Society, advises that he will now credit Thomson with the discovery in all future editions of Meteorites and their Parent Bodies. The Thomson Structure. *** I worked the fall zone of Aguas Zarcas before the rains here in Costa Rica, and have written a memoir of my experience for the Meteorite Times. It's going to Paul Harris for his review and lay-up as soon as I finish this message. Look for it in the next issue of this excellent, on-line journal.

[meteorite-list] AD: NIPR Photographic Catalogs and More
Dear List Members, Under Art's new rules, here is my first free advertisement on the year. I am thinning out a few rare meteorite titles and have decided to sell the complete set of all four NIPR Antarctic meteorite catalogs. I saw that a friend sold two NIPR books here recently and it sounded like there was quite a bit of interest in them. These are the finest quality meteorite catalogs I have ever seen, recording the characteristics of hundreds of individual meteorites and thin sections. Many of which are extremely rare types and examples most of us will never be able to see in person. If interested, please contact me off list. I am going to work on photos/descriptions/pricing this morning and will reply to requests in the order they are received. I would prefer to sell them as a set of four, so I will give priority to those interested in buying all of them as a set. If I cannot find a buyer for the set, then I will part them out individually. Acquiring one of these can be difficult, but finding all four red books took quite a bit of time and effort, so now is a great opportunity to get them all in one swoop. They are as follows: Yanai, K. (1979), Catalog of Yamato Meteorites in the Collection of the National Institute of Polar Research. Tokyo: NIPR, 188 pp. Yanai, K. (1981), Photographic Catalog of the Selected Antarctic Meteorites. National Institute of Polar Research. Tokyo: NIPR, 104 pp. Yanai, K. Kojima, H. (1987), Photographic Catalog of the Antarctic Meteorites. Tokyo: NIPR, 298 pp. Yanai, K. Kojima, H.

Tokyo: NIPR, 230 pp. I will also be selling the entire set of NIPR blue book meteorite symposiums, which are of equal quality, as well as many other rare NIPR titles.

Re: [meteorite-list] Digital Camera for Studio Photography
Hi All, For years I have been using this inexpensive ring light for macros and meteorite photography: http://www.staples.com/V-Light-Full-Spectrum-Clamp-on-Desktop-Magnifier-Blac k/product_850806 All you do is remove the center flip cover and center glass magnifier and you can stick your lens right through it. I use this lighting source along with indirect window light for best results. My camera setup is a Sony NEX-5N with Sony E 3.5/30 Macro lens. I can focus at a few cm distance with this great and comparably inexpensive macro lens.

I have a 1-5x (1:1 - 5:1) Canon MP-E, but these days I prefer using the Canon 100 f/2.8L Macro w/ISM (1:1) The close-focus on it is only about a foot though. At 67mm it fits nicely with most any common ring-light system. At 100mm, selective AF/full-time manual, it's not a one trick pony in that it's a pretty fast lens that one can stand-off with and use for a lot of different tasks with nice soft bokka, ultrasonic focus and lens stabilization, so I can also use it out in the field for things like photographing bugs and still get enough depth-of-field to get environmental cues. http://www.cabirds.com/index.php/Not-Birds/Bees/beefour http://www.cabirds.com/index.php/Not-Birds/Damsel-and-Dragonflies/Damsel_033 3 If you're setting up a lab environment, the Canon 65mm MP-E, with a close focus of 0.8ft and 1-5x magnification can fill an entire full-frame from a single water droplet.

[meteorite-list] Need help in locating a recent meteorite article The Rosewood Box
Dear List Members, I am trying to locate a nice article I came across about a year ago, but cannot seem to remember which publication it was in. It was titled something like The Rosewood Box and was about a box of antique and historic meteorite thin sections that are preserved (at Harvard or Amherst?) from an important and early meteoriticist/mineralogist.

Re: [meteorite-list] Poyet T-shirt (and French Fall)
I have always wondered what the original reference for Poyet's illustration was and have been unable to find it through any of my resources. As Zelimir mentioned, Nininger did not credit or reference Poyet's illustration, which was used on the cover of Find a Falling Star (maybe we both missed it?). I also checked every entry in Brown's bibliography of meteorites for 1882-1884, including Lespiault's and Forquignon's original report on the fall at St. Caprais in the Comptes des Rendus (1883, V97, pp 1022-23), and came up no reference for the illustration. As others have suggested, the most likely event depicted is the St. Caprais fall. This fall produced a daytime fireball, which would seem to be consistent with Poyet's illustration. One will note that there are many farmers about and the horse is saddled with the hay carriage. This would seem to be an unlikely scene if it were nighttime, so I am assuming this is a daytime depiction. Thoughts? It is also possible that Poyet's illustration may have been published as a stand-alone print. Either way, I am very interested in finding the original reference or source for it! Keep hunting!

I went all through my numerous meteorite books but unfortunately, so far, I could find nothing. However, my copy of the well known Nininger's Find a Falling Star has its dust jacket cover with the same painting reproduced. I looked for details within the different editor's writings and also along some chapters regarding this cover but could not even find mention of this painting on cover. The last edition of Meteorites form A to Z reports only 3 falls occurring in 1883, with St. Caprais the only one from France.

Many thanks for the quick translation, Zelimir! One other tidbit that might help with searches. The artist's full name is Louis Poyet (1846-1913). He was a remarkable French artist who specialized in engravings. It looks like he had many engravings published in numerous 19th c.

People who stood outside their houses noticed a black cloud towards the direction where the noise came from: the black cloud was like an explosion smoke, very different from the ordinary clouds covering (that day) the whole skies. 2 farmers (Perrotin father son) noticed an ignited object falling in the South-East direction, so close from where they stood so that they could notice the exact place where the object hit the ground. Nobody considered seeking the aerolite the same day. But the next day, a Mr. Elliot, having consulted the witnesses, found at that exact place a dense stone weighing 282.5 grams, burried 0.1 meter deep, the hole dimensions on the surface being 0.06 x 0.04 m. The number of shots heard at St Caprais and in the neighboring villages could assume the presence of other fragments; but the latter, if ever existed, were never collected (ZG note: it is not said that they were never FOUND...) . - The rest of the text deals with some aerolite characteristics, probably not worth further translation. This is thus a rapid translation of the major events of interest for the issue, of concern. I believe Bernd, who is sure as fluent in French as myself, would agree. Apparently this does not trow more light to the mystery as it was obviously the winter time and even around Bordeaux, there should not be any wheat (or alike) in the fields Bernd is right to point out that this painting can be a view of an artist, possibly painted some time after the event (perhaps in Summer time ?)

Re: [meteorite-list] AML Huss mystery (Taiban b)
Hi Mendy, What you have is indeed Taiban (b). The original Taiban (b) was found in 1975 as referenced by both Huss and the 1980 IOM catalog. The total weight was 11.5 kg. Now, the confusing part. MetBull list Taiban (b) as an LL6 found in 1984 with a total weight of 641 g. If we look at the original reference for this entry (MetBull 84) we will see that this stone was reported with a group of New Mexican finds from J.M. DuPont in 2000. I believe the most likely scenario is that Huss' Taiban (b) was never officially published and that DuPont's Taiban (b) is a completely different meteorite, not paired to Huss' specimen. This would explain the different classifications. Since there was no Taiban (b) officially listed in 2000, Taiban (b) was assigned to DuPont's stone, even though Huss had already sold many specimens during the 1970/80s as Taiban (b). If we could find a sample of DuPont's material to compare, then we could solve this mystery once and for all. (Anyone have a Taiban (b) with DuPont provenance?) This is not the only confusing New Mexican find. These areas of eastern and north eastern New Mexico produced many individual meteorites during the 20th c. thanks to efforts by LaPaz, Nininger, and Huss. Some of these meteorites weren't published until years after their finds, despite being sold as named specimens earlier. As Bernd mentioned, LaLande and Melrose also have issues, and there are others... Either way, Huss' Taiban (b) from 1975 should be the correct one. If DuPont's is not paired, then, in my opinion, it should be renamed Taiban (c) or Taiban (1984) and the entries in the MetBull amended. Hope that helps.

Re: [meteorite-list] Campo crystals
A couple years ago we spoke to a vendor from South America at Electric Park (Tucson show) who had Campos for sale. We noticed that he was selling Campos that had strange marks that looked like welding marks. He told us that they were holes that had been drilled and later refilled with Campo/welding material. The reason? He said the holes were refilled because they ran out of C4 to make Campo crystals. Apparently they used to bore a hole in the iron, fill it full of C4, bury it deep in the ground, then BOOM! Campo crystals were born. I do not recall if cryo/freezing was involved. He had at least a dozen Campos that had these welded holes. It was an interesting conversation to say the least. Kind of sad and amusing at the same time. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Re: [meteorite-list] Gladstone Question
Hi Dennis, This is a partial Nininger Number. Nininger assigned Gladstone (New Mexico) with the prefix 315.X. Since he assigned 31.X to Chupaderos, I think it is safe to assume that the remainder of your numbers simply wore off. This is typical of some older specimens to lose part of the number. In your case, the 5.X probably just wore off. Nininger probably sold or swapped the specimen directly to Ward's Natural Science and typically would only retained the main mass and/or largest piece available, so we don't see this smaller 110.6 gram piece listed his catalog. Only the 45.526 kilo main mass (315.1) and a 1.632 kilo end (315.37). Hope that helps. For fun, a little excerpt regarding Gladstone, NM, form Nininger's catalog (1950): In 1936, we undertook to prove the hypothesis that meteorites have fallen on all areas of the earth recently enough to be yet recognizable. We sent Mr. and Mrs. Alex Richards to Gladstone, New Mexico, with instructions to stay three weeks exhibiting specimens and providing information as to their importance and how to distinguish meteorites from other rocks. We had no information or hint of any kind that meteorites were present in that area. The first two weeks brought nothing to light, but during the third week six stones were recovered aggregating 183 pounds and representing three distinct falls, namely, Gladstone, Farley, and Ute Creek, all within six miles of the Gladstone post office.

Several weeks ago, I acquired a Gladstone meteorite for my collection. It came with an old Ward's Natural Science label. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there was a partially rubbed out white marking on one side. I can make out a 31--- with the remainder unidentifiable. It sure looks like a Nininger marking. I have a reprint of Nininger's 1950 catalog which lists only two Gladstone's. I have been unable to find if Harvey had and labeled this specimen, in his collection or if Ward's used the same nomenclature and marking style. If someone has a newer catalog of Harvey's collection, that might list this 110.6 gm Gladstone or know if someone knows of another source of researching this, let me know. Thanks a bunch!

[meteorite-list] AD: Website Update - Many New Specimens
Dear List, I am pleased to announce a website update with a Smörgåsbord of new material added. Of special note are a new CM2 and an R5 W0, which are currently under study. For the first time (that I know of), I am offering small baby individuals of this fresh R5. They all have beautiful fusion crust and there is one that even shows some orientation and bubbly crust. If anything, have a look for some good eye candy. The CM2 is also a beauty. Less than 6 grams is available after the wire saw. Most are complete slices and all specimens are under $100 per slice. Where else are you going to find such a nice complete slice of a desert CM2 for less than $100? http://historicmeteorites.com/HistoricMeteorites/Sales.html Be sure to hit refresh to make sure you are viewing current inventory.

The diameter of the hole in the ice measured 425 x 350 cm. The depth of the water at the impact site was 90 cm and the sea-floor consisted of soft organic mud. There were numerous splashes of mud round the impact hole up to a distance of 20 to 25 meters. The meteorite was finally recovered from a depth of 6 meters below the surface of the water in the clay layer underlying the mud layer.

I thought I would throw out some thoughts on micros, since those are my bread and butter. First, the definition of micromount is relative. There is no set-in-stone size bracket for what defines a micromount. It seems to me that the general consensus is that micromounts are in the 1g range for the more common types and sub-gram in weight for the rare types. Very rare falls or planetaries are commonly sold by the milligram. Rockhounds tend to equate meteorite micromounts with mineral thumbnails. But generally speaking, most micromounts on the market today are in the sub-gram (1g) range. Ideally, a micromount should be visually appealing (such a well polished, thin part slice with good surface area to weight ratio) and big enough to identify the lithology of the type/fall, while at the same time being cheap enough to afford on a limited budget. The more preparation that goes into making a given micromount, the higher the price, generally speaking. At some point, it's not financially viable to put a lot of cutting and polishing work into piece of common find that is only worth a buck or two a gram. Smaller micros are difficult to work with during preparation, for obvious reasons, so many of the micromounts seen on the market are unpolished, rough, or broken. What motivates a person to collect micromounts varies from person to person, but the most commonly cited reason for buying micros is to temporarily fill a void in a type collection. It could be a petrologic type, a find from a given geographic area, a fall from a specific date, etc. Often a micromount is a temporary measure until a nicer specimen can be acquired, or until the needed finances to buy a larger piece can be saved up. For the very rare types and planetaries, a micromount might be the best hope for a collector on a restricted budget. There are a couple of schools of thought when it comes to dealing and selling micromounts - some dealers sell specimens by weight (by milligram, even for specks) or some dealers offer specimens by the piece (by eye/photo). For the most part, I am of the latter school that sells micros by the piece. That means I don't weigh each and every micromount, unless it is a very rare and valuable meteorite such as a planetary or historical fall. Each dealer has their own methods for handling micromounts and we those aren't really relevant to the discussion at hand. When weighing micromounts, one must use an accurate scale that is sensitive to 1 milligram - the good ones are used by diamond and gem dealers. There are many brands of these scales which range in quality and accuracy. When dealing with small specks that weigh a milligram or two, the readings can vary from unit to unit when weighing the same specimen. If a buyer pays for and is promised a micro that weighs 100mg, it better weigh 100mg and not 50mg or 80mg. Sometimes a buyer gets an added bonus because their personal scale is more accurate than the seller's scale and a promised 100mg micro might weigh 120mg or 150mg. If the seller is not sticking to a strict pricing scheme ($/g or $/mg), then ultimately what matters is if the buyer is happy

[meteorite-list] Tucson Ring Questions
Dear List, I vaguely remember seeing a schematic somewhere many years ago of how a sample of the Tucson Ring was sectioned into pieces. Does anyone remember this or know where I can find it? Also, I am interested in knowing where, exactly, samples were actually removed from the ring. I have an old woodcut from 1855 that shows the ring in its original state and I notice there is a nodular mass inside the ring that is not present on the current mass. Is this removed portion the source of all the small specimens in collections today?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Cards - changing mass
Hello Rob, Great question. You should always provide your own card (even if the weight changes). The idea is that if everyone did this, and passed original dealer/collector cards along, you could establish a *chain-of-custody*. Chain-of-custody is an important component of provenance. As pieces continue to be sectioned down or change hands, provenance is more important than ever. With the influx of new collectors, we all need to set higher standards so that this precious information gets passed down.

I like to have my stone-type meteorite slices sanded at one side and polished at the other. After buying slices, they typically arrive as-cut. So I have to sand and polish them myself. As you can guess, afterwards the mass doesnt correspond to the mass on the cards anymore. Assume I would choose to sell a slice. Should I stripe the original mass, and put a new figure (plus my name?) on the original card (as I would choose to do), or should I make my own new card, or choose even a different option?

This is not because i place any importance on myself or the 'added value' that this might place on a specimen but because i do feel it is important to show the chain of custody of each and every specimen, whether a small micromount or a museum piece. To me this chain of ownership is important whether you are a dealer, a big name famous historic collector or a brand new collector, it makes no difference but just adds to the story of each specimen. If i have refinished a specimen and lost some weight in the process i write the new weight on my card and in the comments section at the bottom i add that due to refinishing the weight has changed whilst in my temporary custody. I have numerous specimens where the chain of ownership is shown by 6 or more specimen cards of various dealers or collectors. In some of these there have been numerous weight changes down the line yet from the cards i can see who did what and when, this is important info and needs to be recorded. On this note although i understand why some dealers do not include previous owners cards to not make obvious where they obtained the specimen i have to say it is a pet hate of mine when this happens. I like to have as much information as possible on the provenance of every piece and the chain of ownership as Mike says is a big part of this. Good discussion!

Actually, this is incorrect. Dr. Isaac Bronson and Dr. Horace Holley conducted the first investigation of Weston. Bronson then wrote the first report of the event on December 19, 1807 - two days before Silliman/Kingsley arrived on-site. This would become the first published report on the Weston event as it was published in the December 28th edition of the New-York Commercial Advertiser - a day before Silliman and Kingsley's report in the Connecticut Herald. So, Bronson holds the title for the first report on the Weston event. Bronson's report was subsequently reprinted in the out-of-town paper, the New-York Spectator, on January 2, 1808. Interestingly, Bronson and Holley's work on Weston has managed to slip through many bibliographies. References: Bronson, I. (1807) Letter to the editor.

But I find it odd that these two gentlemen had a rivalry. At one point Woodhouse's work on analysis of meteorite stones could be summed up to be loose and not to be depended on quoted from the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, which in March 1808 Silliman and Kingsley read a memoir to the American Philosophical Society about the Weston meteorite fall.

As for publications go Silliman was one of the first to do so and not to mention his first-hand accounts in the field as opposed to Woodhouse lack of engagement in the field, and second hand sources. You say that Woodhouse published his analysis of the Weston meteorite; may I ask what the date was when he published his findings and where? In January 1808 Silliman's manuscript accounts the analysis of the Weston fall and at that time Woodhouse's analysis had been unpublished and to some felt his work

Re: [meteorite-list] Speaking of Weston...
Hello Mark, I'm now half way through the book and can report that Prince does explain and relate everyone in your #2. I think the reader will find Silliman's and Woodhouse's relationship to the Weston fall quite interesting. As for #1, I think perhaps Turning Point would have been a better choice and less controversial than Birth. She has made a strong case so far, though, as it pertains to the general state of science in America at the time. I haven't found anything yet that confirms the wild review claim in your #3, but I still have half a book to go. I did find myself having to re-read several paragraphs after thinking That's not true!, only to realize that it was prefixed with ...the first *American* to... You'll see that Prince is very careful with her wording in some places and it seems to me that, at times, this can pump up Silliman's accomplishments. She does write that Silliman drew on the work of Chladni and discusses other falls and figures later in the book, but really tries to stay within the parameters of American figures, events, and milestones. There are a couple of glaring errors related to meteorite history that do stick out. I'll see if others pick up on them as well. So far it is a solid book. The accounts of the Weston fall are particularly fun and Prince does a good job painting an image of early life and hardship in Weston and the fall as described by the residents. I'll finish the rest tomorrow. Time for bed...

I just took a quick look as some of the reviews of this book that were written by CT newspapers, and I will have to read the book to determine the accuracy of some of the statements. 1. As far as the birth of American science - science-oriented statesman Benjamin Franklin preceded Benjamin Silliman in giving American science a name abroad. He was held in the highest respect as a scientist just as much as a statesman in Europe for his electrical investigations, and attended the salon of the Lavoisiers in Paris regularly. 2. What happened to mention of James Woodhouse of Philadelphia (1770-1809), who had a laboratory in Philadelphia that Joseph Priestly, the discover of oxygen, used to visit? Woodhouse also analyzed the Weston stone, but off-hand, I don't know who has priority. I hope the book mentions Woodhouse. 3. Weston - the first scientific investigation that proved that meteorites came from outer space? What happened to mention of Edward Howard, L'Aigle, Chladni, etc.? Again, I haven't read the book yet, so perhaps the reporting is inaccurate. But if there is any truth to reviews that I have seen, this book is headed for trouble. I would be interested in any comments from those who have already had a chance to read or peruse the book. Thanks.
