[meteorite-list] Kind of AD; The end...

2006-04-19 Thread Lars Pedersen
Hi list

As you may have seen, I have listed on eBay, all I have of
meteorites..again ... you must be getting tiered of it :-)

Course:

I am leaving this hobby for good.

Lots of things have happened in my life,  and I have had all the support I
could ever wish from the meteorite community.
However, I am getting divorced, and starting a new life.
I have to sort out my prioritys, and I have come to the conclution that I
will go back to my roots.

I have had so many pleasures from this hobby that they owerwhelme the
downtours, so it is with sadness that I leave.

I wish all of you the very best of luck, and many new falls in the future.

Back to the basics ... :-)

[meteorite-list] Interesting news on warmmeteorites

2006-02-18 Thread Lars Pedersen

Hi all

This afternoon, I talked to the gentleman who found the Aarhus meteorite.

Back in 1951, on October 2. at 18:10 the Aarhus meteorite fell.

Only two stones were ever found.

One fell aprox 3 meters behind this guy !!!

Among many other things he told me that the stone was hand warm when 
he picked it up a few seconds after it fell.


To me this first handliterally speaking ... account  ends the 
discussion about warm meteorites.


Just thought I would let you know.

:-)
Lars

NB
Even though it has been a long time, I will try to find more 
stoneswhat do you think of that ?

[meteorite-list] Off Topic: No Danish expeditions in NWA for a long time

2006-02-04 Thread Lars Pedersen

Hi List

This is highly off topic, but I just had to get the anger off my chest...

As you may know Denmark is very unpopular at the moment in all the arab 
world, because a newspaper brought 12 cartoons of Muhamed.


Today demonstants just burned down the Danish embasy in Damaskus in Syria. 
(the Sweedish and Chile embasy were in the same building and burned down 
too)


I guess Danes are banned in the whole area for a long time...

Sorry for the off topic nature of the mail, but it may affect us all who 
knows

Subject: [meteorite-list] Harvey Awards - New Catagory



Dear List Members,

A month or two ago I posted to the list that I felt that Steve Arnold - 
IMB and Phil Mani should be nominated for a Harvey Award for their Huge 
Brenham Main Mass discovery and also Geoff Notkin for his tireless work on 
behalf of the Hurricane Katrina Fund Raiser among other too-numerous to 
list meteorite-related activities.


I know that Geoff and Steve originally set up the Harvey Awards where they 
could not nominate themselves for an award. I would like all list members 
to join me here on the list to nominate these fine gentleman for a Harvey 
Award an encourage them to make a new category where they could receive an 
award if enough of us voted YES to this. Maybe they could create a 
People's Choice award or something along these lines.


Everyone in favor, send the list a resounding YES and lets acknowledge 
their contributions and achievements in public.


Consider this my YES vote...

Lars, I think You should first try something more easy, cheaper and more
confortable in use.
If You want only store Your pieces in safe place, not to show them, then try
to buy a vacum container for food and put there colored silica gel.

http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/pudelko.jpg

First You remove part of air that contain moisure using manual or electrical
pump. The remaining part of air is dry up by silica gel. I think its very
good method for everyon that live in moderate moisure regions. If someone
live in high risk region, maybe he should invest in achondrites ?

You can open container as many times You want. Clese it take maybe 45
seconds.

Emne: Re: [meteorite-list] meteorites without specimen cards

Hello List,
Off the top of my head, I can think of a dozen or more meteorite dealers 
and collectors who print their specimen cards on business card stock. If 
you don't want to take the time to figure out how to do it in Word or 
Works, you can always buy a stand alone program.  For the last seven or 
eight years, I've been using some software called My Business Cards 
marketed by a company by the name of MySoftware Company. The program is so 
easy to use a kid can do it.
  It's nice to have all of your specimen cards the same size and laid out 
in the same format on the same color of card stock.  Keep the cards you get 
from dealers and other collectors in a safe place, after all, they might be 
worth some money some day and you can always include them with a specimen 
when you sell or trade it.

Best,
JKGwilliam

minutes to make a new card once you save a template.

  who are not so reliable.I just picked up a 40 slice of
julesburg,colorado
  with a huss # on it and it came WITHOUT a specimen card.I admit,I have
  sold on ebay without specimen cards,I do not like it,but I have nothing
to
  send if I have not gotten a card from someone who sends the piece to
  me.Then I have to write out on an index card the item name.It would be
  nice if we all could send cards with our pieces.Any thoughts from anyone
  else who has had this problem?

Hello List

On the rare ocation when I get a few glases of red wine too much, I 
sometimes get carried away.


Last night, I did.

I am not poor,  but just dont have the budget to buy stones at the moment.

Last night I had a litle too much wine, and sent a stupid mail to the list.

Afterwards, I can see that I have hurt some peoples feelings.

For that I am truely sorry. It will not happen again.

Drinking and e-mailing dont mix.

For the moment I will stick to reading about meteorites, and will surely get 
back, when I am in a position to buy.


Truely sorry

Hello all,

I'm not sure my humble endorsement would add much weight to the opinion of
such a respected figure as Berndt but I'd emphasize to the list that I own
both of the books that Berndt mentioned and they are fabulous books. I
think all collectors should have both.

Also,if you ever get a chance to talk meteorites with Marvin, jump at it.
Unless you are a PhD studying meteoritics his knowledge will eclipse
yours, big time, but he really loves talking meteorites and is very
generous with his time and knowledge on a face to face basis. His
enthusiasm is infectious. Marvin and Kitty are a 'must see' stop if they
are at a show anywhere near any of the list members.

Jim Baxter

 reviewer also wrote:

 it rightly does not include iron or stony-iron meteorites.

 .. which shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you want to see some
 excellent photos of irons, I'd like to direct you to one more of
 Marvin's and Kitty's books:

 = Southwest Meteorite Collection, A Pictorial Catalog =

 Here you'll find several superb photos of the Killgore's meteorite
 collection. The pictures were taken by their son Elijah, and there are
 also additional pictures of thin sections and, last but not least,
 photos of their tektites and impactites.

 Best wishes,

 Bernd


 Now, here is part two of the review of Marvin's book on thin sections:

 I suspect that when you first read through this book you will have the
 same reaction as we did: you will not be able to put it down. If it is
 not already apparent, the book is outstanding, with respect to both the
 publishing and the quality of its contents.

 The book starts with a succinct general introduction to the subject of
 meteorite classifi- cation. This section is followed by a two-page
 introduction to ordinary chondrites with some 134 pages of micrographs
 of different ordinary chondrites. The authors stick to a brief, two-page
 introduction to each meteorite class and type, which works perfectly for
 the purpose of this atlas. After ordinary chondrites, the authors
 discuss separately ensta- tite chondrites, carbonaceous chondrites, and
 finally, other chondrites.

 At page 206, the authors leave their completed representation of
 chondrites and give separate attention to primitive achondrites and
 finally evolved achondrites (including SNCs and lunar). Since this is an
 atlas of meteorites in thin section, it rightly does not include iron or
 stony- iron meteorites. Throughout the book, plain and crossed-polarized
 light images are shown for what are or certainly could be considered
 type specimens of meteorites from each class and type. In specific
 cases, reflect light and backscatter electron images are also shown. The
 book is a perfect supplement to a course on meteorites or planetary
 materials, or as a reference book when examining samples in thin
 section, either optically or through backscatter electrons.

 In closing, the marriage of the two authors, who come to the profession
 of meteoritics from two highly different backgrounds, works excellently.
 They have created at i m e l e s s c l a s s i c   that will be
 highly desired by all those interested in meteorites. The book captures
 the attention of the reader in a fashion that promotes a child-like
 curiosity for the field of meteoritics while maintaining excellence in
 its scientific content. In a nut- shell, this is an outstanding book
 that anyone seriously interested in meteorites must have for his or her
 reference library.

[meteorite-list] Trade proposal

2005-09-03 Thread Lars Pedersen


Hi

As you all know ... probably :-)

I try to make a small collection.
Cash is running very low, soI thought I would make a trade proposal.

Perhaps one of you would like to trade a rather big meteorite, for a Garmin 
eTrex Legend GPS. ?


It is in very fine condition (looks like new).

I am crazy in love with but cant afford to buy.. a good size 
Sikote_Alin individual, or alternatively a rather big  unrare black 
stone.



Just laugh of me  :-), but it is a desperate [housevifes. ;-) ] 
atempt to get a meteorite again.


My deapest sympathy the all who have been affected by the horricane in the 
south of USA.


Crossing my fingers, and best to all of you

[meteorite-list] My dreams .....

2005-08-12 Thread Lars Pedersen

Hello all

First of all, it is nice to be back :-)

Many things can happen in ones life, but still if one is realy  realy 
interested in a subject,  that interest will keep comming back.


I happen to be very interested in meteorites, so I guess that I have got the 
bug. and I will be for ever trapped ... :-)


However, what can change is ones financial situation.

Therefore I have desided, that I want to make a 3 meteorite collection

Silly.. ???  maybe. But realistic :-)

What I want is a stone, maybe NWA 869, and a real good one like the one I 
sold (a 700 gram end piece, polished perfectly)


I also want an iron - would love Sikhote, but will be too expensive - so I 
guess I will setle for a good size thumbprinted Campo.


Last I would like to have a charcoale meteorite again... :-)
Allende I think... not too big, but good size.

That will be  my dream collection, and the one I will work on making.

Life has got a different perspective, but my interest remains.

All the best
Lars

[meteorite-list] my reason for leaving....

2005-04-05 Thread Lars Pedersen
Hello
I have had some respons on my leaving, so I have come to the conclusion that 
I will let all of you know why I leave.

We allmost lost our daughter in a carcrash. and for some days we did not 
know if she was going to live or not.

Luckily she will.
And the doctors say tha there is a good chance that she will make a full 
recoveryin timelong time.

As a consequent of that I will stay as much with her as I can, and take as 
much free from work as possible to be there for her when she need it.

That cost money...alot of money.
Therefore I sell my stonesand alot of other stuff.
Hopefuly we can stay in our house. I think that will be best for all of us.
So as I am sure you can imagine, sometimes my mood is high, and sometimes it 
is way way low.
I do not hope it has been too obvious in my mails.
Afterall this is my probleme not yours.

So now you all knowit is a matter of priority and (for me) finding 
out what is realy important in my life.

well enoughf of that .
I have 2 stones left.. you can see them on the website...NWA801, and 
NWA1757 both fantastic specimens.
If they are not sold today, they go on ebay. They must go.

If someone paypal me 450 they go..
All yours

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/03/10/MNGFIBN6PO1.DTL
Mass extinction comes every 62 million years, UC physicists discover
David Perlman,
San Francisco Chronicle
March 10, 2005
With surprising and mysterious regularity, life on Earth has flourished
and vanished in cycles of mass extinction every 62 million years, say
two UC Berkeley scientists who discovered the pattern after a
painstaking computer study of fossil records going back for more than
500 million years.
Their findings are certain to generate a renewed burst of speculation
among scientists who study the history and evolution of life. Each
period of abundant life and each mass extinction has itself covered at
least a few million years -- and the trend of biodiversity has been
rising steadily ever since the last mass extinction, when dinosaurs and
millions of other life forms went extinct about 65 million years ago.
The Berkeley researchers are physicists, not biologists or geologists or
paleontologists, but they have analyzed the most exhaustive compendium
of fossil records that exists -- data that cover the first and last
known appearances of no fewer than 36,380 separate marine genera,
including millions of species that once thrived in the world's seas,
later virtually disappeared, and in many cases returned.
Richard Muller and his graduate student, Robert Rohde, are publishing a
report on their exhaustive study in the journal Nature today, and in
interviews this week, the two men said they have been working on the
surprising evidence for about four years.
We've tried everything we can think of to find an explanation for these
weird cycles of biodiversity and extinction, Muller said, and so far,
we've failed.
But the cycles are so clear that the evidence simply jumps out of the
data, said James Kirchner, a professor of earth and planetary sciences
on the Berkeley campus who was not involved in the research but who has
written a commentary on the report that is also appearing in Nature today.
Their discovery is exciting, it's unexpected and it's unexplained,
Kirchner said. And it is certain, he added, to send other scientists in
many disciplines seeking explanations for the strange cycles. Everyone
and his brother will be proposing an explanation -- and eventually, at
least one or two will turn out to be right while all the others will be
wrong.
Muller and Rohde conceded that they have puzzled through every
conceivable phenomenon in nature in search of an explanation: We've had
to think about solar system dynamics, about the causes of comet showers,
about how the galaxy works, and how volcanoes work, but nothing explains
what we've discovered, Muller said.
The evidence of strange extinction cycles that first drew Rohde's
attention emerged from an elaborate computer database he developed from
the largest compendium of fossil data ever created. It was a 560-page
list of marine organisms developed 14 years ago by the late J. John
Sepkoski Jr., a famed paleobiologist at the University of Chicago who
died at the age of 50 nearly five years ago.
Sepkoski himself had suggested that marine life appeared to have its ups
and downs in cycles every 26 million years, but to Rohde and Muller, the
longer cycle is strikingly more evident, although they have also seen
the suggestion of even longer cycles that seem to recur every 140
million years.
Sepkoski's fossil record of marine life extends back for 540 million
years to the time of the great Cambrian Explosion, when almost all the
ancestral forms of multicellular life emerged, and Muller and Rohde
built on it for their computer version.
Muller has long been known as an unconventional and imaginative
physicist on the Berkeley campus and at the Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory. It was he, for example, who suggested more than 20 years ago
that an undiscovered faraway dwarf star -- which he named Nemesis --
was orbiting the sun and might have steered a huge asteroid into the
collision with Earth that drove the dinosaurs to extinction.
I've given up on Nemesis, Muller said this week, but then I thought
there might be two stars somewhere out there, but I've given them both
up now.
He and Rohde have considered many other possible causes for the 62-
million-year cycles, they said.
Perhaps, they suggested, there's an unknown Planet X somewhere far out
beyond the solar system that's disturbing the comets in the distant
region called the Oort Cloud -- where they exist by the millions -- to
the point that they shower the Earth and cause extinctions in regular
cycles. Daniel Whitmire and John Matese of the University of Louisiana
at Lafayette proposed that idea as a

I'll bet this photo of this clueless moron cutting

Hello All,
The 6.1-ton Mundrabilla II found in a chunkyard in Australia by P. Ramdohr 
(MPI
Heidelberg) was cut using the wire-cutting technique. Professor Paul 
Ramdohr
used a four-millimeter-thick steel wire and carborundum powder (silicon 
carbide
or SiC - silicon carbide is about as hard as diamond) as a lubricant. It 
took 188
hours to cut the first slice although the maximum width was only about 130 
cm !!!

Another interesting aside:
About 8 or 9 slabs were cut from this mass, four of which (about 250 kg 
each)
were donated to the Smithsonian Institution, the Academy of Science in 
Moscow,
the British Museum in London, and the Australian Museum in Adelaide.

When these slabs were handed over, the following representatives were 
present:

a) Professor Paul Ramdohr
b) Professor Wolfang Gentner
c) British ambassador Nicholas Henderson
d) Representative of the Soviet Embassy in Germany (Kaplin)
e) US ambassador M.J. Hillenbrand

--- Jörn Koblitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto:
Hi List,
back in the 1980s, I got a large, beautiful Admire
slice. I kept it at low humidity and also added
corrosion inhibitor to the bag in which the slice
was wrapped in. During the first 10 years I checked
for signs of rust from time to time. It was okay, no
rust, very stable. So, I kept it alone (same storage
conditions) until one year ago, when I look at it
again. Well, the pallasite was in the state of
disintegration, heavily rusted, olivines pressed out
of the metal grid. What I want to say is, that even
after so long time of stability, one can never be
sure. I think, one has to check the state of such a
known ruster more often. If any sign of rust,
especially swallowing of olivine grains, one has to
start corrective actions immediately (e.g.
neutralization of acids, drying...). Rusting is a
self-accelerating process, once it has started. If a
meteorite is known as a ruster (like Brahin,
Brenham, Admire), be very careful!
I am presently developing a special method of
treatment to remove all the salts (the source of the
mess) from such corrosion sensitive irons and
pallasite specimens. I hope, with such reatment,
then these rusters are sufficiently stabilized for
the time being.

 Hi Lars,

 Brahin is untreated a hefty ruster like Brenham.
 With two of the main suppliers of Brahin I made
the experience
 that Afanasjev (cometshop) did a good job in
varnishing his slices.
 My oldest slice from him I had for almost 7 years
without any problems
 and many others I had in stock for 2years and more
without
 developping a
 single trace of rust.
 Once I was curios, grinded off the varnish and the
slice
 started to rust and
 to swell within a few weeks.

 From the other supplier Koutyrev (finmet) I know
only, that
 he advertized
 his slices in former times to be stabilized with a
new
 method and with the
 gimmick, that you can keep them even in salt water
without any effect.
 I never took from his Brahins, but heard from
several of my collector
 fellows as well as from some dealers too, that
they were
 indeed stable and
 goody-goody.

 To be sure, one should choose a member of the
 Eagle-Station-grouplet, with
 their 15%+ Ni, they should be the most stable ones
among all
 pallasites, but
 they are difficult to get and not even cheap...

 Cheers!
 Martin

Hi everyone, just a note since most of the list seems to be in Tucson, 
the party thrown by Geoff Notkin and Steve Arnold went off tonight, and I 
must say that the party was a smashing success! It was much better this 
year since we had a large room all to ourselves, no distractions with 
dinner etc.
It seems that is grows every year, and this year was the largest I have 
ever seen. I met so many people that I have sold to for years, and I want 
to say that it was great, and happy birthday to Geoff and Steve.
We all had a blast, and I am sure that tomorrow's Blood auction will be 
just as fun.

[meteorite-list] AD: Trade with Silver Meteorite Coin

2005-01-30 Thread Lars Pedersen
Hi
I want to trade one of my Silver meteorite coins for a meteorite.
My idea was with a big iron. Sikhote-Alin or a real big thumbprinted Campo.
A real special stone can be discussed too  ;) 

The coin is 50mm in diameter, and made of Sterling silver (.925)
It weight 2 oz. (56,7 gram)
Only 999 pieces was made.
The meteorite mounted on the coin is NWA 267.
It is the first coin ever made with a real meteorite mounted in it.
It can be seen here:

Hello List
As a suplement to this list, a new forum has been made.
http://www.worldofmeteorites.com/
Have a look at it, come with coments, sugestions etc , maybe even become a 
part of it and contribute with questions or answers.

Bernhard has been the brain, and I should try to act as admin.
Again it is not meant as an alternative, but as a suplement to this list.

It comes in a wood presentation case with a hand-rubbed finish and a 
Certicate of Authenticity that gives the provenance of the meteorite.

It is made of two ounces of .999 sterling silver, and is one of only 999

[meteorite-list] New dating of Allende

2004-12-20 Thread Pedersen
3 scientists from Geological Museum og Danish Lithosfærecenter at Geocenter 
Copenhagen in Denmark,  has made the best dating of material from the birth 
of the solarsystem, so far.

4.567,2 million years old, the Allende meteorite is the oldest know matter 
from the solar system. 30 million years older than the earth, and 700 
million years older than the oldest rock known on Earth.

Abstract from Nature 431, 275 - 278 (16 September 2004);

Mg isotope evidence for contemporaneous formation of chondrules and 
refractory inclusions

Primitive or undifferentiated meteorites (chondrites) date back to the 
origin of the Solar System, and thus preserve a record of the physical and 
chemical processes that occurred during the earliest evolution of the 
accretion disk surrounding the young Sun. The oldest Solar System materials 
present within these meteorites are millimetre- to centimetre-sized 
calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions (CAIs) and ferromagnesian silicate 
spherules (chondrules), which probably originated by thermal processing of 
pre-existing nebula solids. Chondrules are currently believed to have formed 
2-3 million years (Myr) after CAIs (refs 5-10)-a timescale inconsistent with 
the dynamical lifespan of small particles in the early Solar System. Here, 
we report the presence of excess 26Mg resulting from in situ decay of the 
short-lived 26Al nuclide in CAIs and chondrules from the Allende meteorite. 
Six CAIs define an isochron corresponding to an initial 26Al/27Al ratio of 
(5.25  0.10)  10-5, and individual model ages with uncertainties as low as 
30,000 years, suggesting that these objects possibly formed over a period as 
short as 50,000 years. In contrast, the chondrules record a range of initial 
26Al/27Al ratios from (5.66  0.80) to (1.36  0.52)  10-5, indicating that 
Allende chondrule formation began contemporaneously with the formation of 
CAIs, and continued for at least 1.4 Myr. Chondrule formation processes 
recorded by Allende and other chondrites may have persisted for at least 2-3 
Myr in the young Solar System.

AD are easy to avoid.
You just need to parameter your email program in order to skip all subjets

You will not receive more more AD.

If you are just interested in craters or in aubrite, only allow subjects

I had a wonderfull day eysterday :-)

I got thé most beautifull slice of a meteorite that 
I have ever seen - thanks Dean.

It is a, still unclassified, CV3.
can be seen on Deans website (and probably other 
places too)

When I was studying it more closely, I got the 
thought that it migt be paired with NWA1807.they look very similar, bot on 
the inside and on the outside.
Anyone have an oppinion on that ?

The next is OT... but I just have to tell someone 
:-)))

And later last night I was to a Country music show 
with Charlie McCoy.
Charlie is an old friend, I have known him for may 
years.
But last night he surprised me !

I was talking to one of the other artists from the 
show, Jett Williams.
Then Charlie told me she was the daughter of Hank 
Williams thé greatest songwriter that have ever lived !!!

WOW ..I was shaking hands and talking country music

[meteorite-list] Stones partly burried in the dessert sand

2004-03-31 Thread Lars Pedersen



Hi All

I have been thinking ;-)

Why is it that it looks like the part of a 
meteorite that sticking out of the sand seems to be better preserved, than the 
part that is burried in the sand - and is protected from the 
weather.

My logical sense (dont laugh :-) tells me that the 
part that is up in the air is constantly eroded by the sand blowing over it, and 
gently sandblasting it - but perhaps that is the secret ?

Is dessert sand cemicaly agressive ?

It is just something I noticed, and may not allways 
be the case ?

 Mystery object hits home
 Sean Olson , STAFF WRITER 03/11/2004
 High Point Enterprise
 
 No one was home when the object hit Joanie Stumpf's Westgate Drive home in
 north High Point.
 
 Sometime between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, a metal, egg-shaped object
 fell from the sky, pierced Stumpf's roof and ceiling, smashed a dent into
 her hardwood floor and ricocheted more than six feet, breaking a candle
 holder on the nearby entertainment center.
 
 My daughter is the one who found it when she came home from school at about
 2:30, Stumpf said. She said something fell onto the roof, and I thought it
 was a tree and came right home.
 
 Given the circumstances, Stumpf and others thought it could be a piece of a
 plane, a meteorite or a piece of space garbage that's fallen to earth after
 orbiting the planet's atmosphere.
 
 Objects can fall from space, said Tom English, director of the Cline
 Observatory at Guilford Technical Community College. There are thousands of
 objects that orbit the earth. As those orbits decay, they can re-enter the
 atmosphere. It happens fairly frequently.
 
 It's more likely that the object came from a place closer than a galaxy far,
 far away. While it may have been tempting or exciting to think of the object
 as a meteorite or piece of space trash, David Butler, a meteorite collector
 and member of the Greensboro Astronomy Club, and Roger Joyner, planetarium
 curator at the Greensboro Natural Science Center, went to Stumpf's house to
 take a look at the object, and both believe that the object was likely
 man-made.
 
 It looks like it could have some machine heating, Joyner said as he
 pointed to small, bluish spots on the object.
 
 And there are facets or planes where it looks like it's been cut, he
 added, pointing to the jagged edges on the surface of the metal.
 
 I'd say it's certainly man-made, Butler said after looking at the object
 under a stereoscope.
 
 Joyner theorizes the metal object could have come off a large, industrial
 shredder like those used in the nearby Ingleside Composting Yard. The piece
 could have been shot off a piece of their equipment, Joyner thinks.
 
 This is probably a piece of their equipment, he said. These striations
 look like something a machine makes, and it looks blue from heating. The
 more I look at it, the more this looks like it came off of a piece of
 machinery.
 
 The facility uses large shredders to mulch trees and other debris into
 mulch.
