[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Claxton!
On December 10, 1984, the universe made a special delivery to a quiet rural home in Claxton Georgia. The parcel was a rock from the asteroid belt, and it destroyed the mailbox it struck. It remains the only meteorite documented to strike a mailbox. Claxton is 33 years old today. Now, don't you feel old?

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Tunguska
Happy Birthday Tunguska! - June 30, 1908 : (00:14 UT, 7:14pm EST), Krasnoyarsk Krai, Siberia, Russia - it was just after dinnertime when the sky suddenly exploded in a cataclysmic detonation that obliterated nearly 2000 square kilometers of unpopulated wilderness in remote Siberia. The entire region around the Tunguska River was a blackened wasteland and millions of trees were knocked over like matchsticks. The airburst explosion and resulting plasma shockwave both flattened and scorched the target area, which was populated mostly by animals and few humans. This explosion would have easily destroyed a large city. Scientists later determined that the event was caused by the explosion of an incoming comet or asteroid which was completely vaporized by the extreme forces produced by the airburst. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event -- --- Galactic Stone & Ironworks : www.galactic-stone.com Facebook : www.facebook.com/galacticstones Instagram : www.instagram.com/galacticstone LinkedIn : www.linkedin.com/in/galacticstone Pinterest : www.pinterest.com/galacticstone Twitter : www.twitter.com/galacticstone Ello : www.ello.com/galacticstone --- __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy birthday to the Giants
Hi Frank and all, Nininger was involved in each of these. The Norton County Aubrite was purchased (and dug up) by Lincoln LaPaz after he was able to out bid Nininger on it. A sore spot for years to come between the men. Both impressive meteorites. --AL Mitterling Quoting Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com: February 17 and 18 are the birthdays of the two largest meteorites to fall in the US. On February 17, 1930 the Paragould meteorite fell in the northeastern corner of Arkansas. The 820 pound stone recovered from the fall was the largest meteorite recovered from a witnessed fall in the US to that time. Eighteen years later, on February 18, 1948, the Norton County aubrite fell near the Kansas-Nebraska border. The 2360 pound main mass was found on July 3 and later recovered from a 10 foot deep hole. It remains the largest stone meteorite seen to fall in the US and the second largest largest fall in the world after the Jilin, China meteorite that fell on March 8, 1976.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy birthday to the Giants
And Norton is still the world's largest achondrite. A miracle that it stayed together in the 1 ton mass, most of the aubrite is very friable, except the nice sized enstatite crystals thoughout.

Happy Birthday to the Beni M'Hira meteorite ! Today we celebrate the 13th anniversary of the most important recovered and witnessed fall of 2001... As you maybe know, the Meteor-Center and WWMeteorites teams investigated, hunted, and mapped this interesting, forgotten for a decade, strewnfield during 5 different trips in Tunisia during the october 2012 - december 2013 period. Wefound over 190 meteorites (for a cumulate desert walk of more than 800 km !), including nice individuals, a few oriented ones. The map and data for each one have been published in our book, Beni M'Hira, the forgotten meteorite : http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/615396 After our last trip in early december 2013, with less finds this time, as expected after efficiently hunting the ellipse in the previous times, we decided to update our website with new specimens and some older from our lowered stock... http://www.beni-mhira.com/shop Most specimens will come with in situ pictures and the exact GPS data on the identification card.

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
Thanks a lot Mark for your kind comment, it’s appreciated. Yes, it was our goal to publish a complete study when we hunted in this strewn field. As more and more stones came, we decided to take all GPS points, do most of time in-situ photos and publish a book. I’m afraid we can’t come to Tucson this year but I wish to go there next year probably.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
Whenever I see these birthday wishes for meteorites, I can't help but to think that they represent what was a very bad day for an asteroid or meteoroid, minding its own business for millions or even billions of years and then, suddenly, nearly destroyed, reduced to a few burned fragments.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Galileo!
On Feb. 15 Phile wrote: Galileo Galilei born on this day in 1564 OK. Fun with hair-pulling calendars: Yes, and also, Happy Anniversary to the Fall of Ash Creek, that's for sure! A birthday by any other name (William Shakespeare was also reputed to be born on this exact same date in history). And the French settled their first town in what is now the mainland USA on that date (Of all places the same one I'm in at the moment), maybe it was just a few days after that precise date ... Hi Phil, Galileo has four birthdays, and today, February 16 is another one. But Galileo, above all certainly would have changed his birthday in line with the new astronomical/astrological Gregorian calendar which ocurred during his lifetime to reflect his birthday celebration as February 25-26. The reason for the consecutive days is because in Galileo's time the new day the date advanced one day after the Sun set. So his Julian February 15 birthtime around 3:30PM (?) on the Julian February 16th. Which of course he would have updated to Gregorian (being the world's biggest promoter in the importance of planetary positions in his astrological charts + astronomical precision to return to the same heliocentric position). So we might as well make the second half of February a Galileo fortnight celebration ;-) It's easier to ignore all of that and just list his Julian date like in wikipedia, so after consulting with the guy who enlightened the world and knew everything ahead of his time, Ben Franklin, Ben immediately updated his birthday ... and even birth year, since New Years Day in the Colonies was on March 25 until the switch was made from Julian to Gregorian in 1752 setting New Years day to January 1. I prefer the old system ... a calandar that begins with the melting of the snow. This January 1 thing we take for granted really makes no scientific sense at all! Fun, fun fun...

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Mifflin, 1yr. almost to the minute
I just want to remind everyone what happened exactly one year ago tonight(10:05pm)CST. I have many great lasting memories from that hunt (the entire experience). I met many of the people I idolize in this community, not only did I meet them, I got to hunt with most of them. I who could forget, my 2 sons (Josh 14yrs, Joey 13yrs) being with me when I found the 332 gram monster. Then my sons and wife met THE Steve Arnold. He and Geoff even invited us 4 out to eat with them one night, but unfortunately we had already left the area. I am going to go back next week sometime, if anyone will be in the area or interested in meeting up for a sort couple day hunt, call or email me and we can meet up 815-503-1832. I also want to thank The All-Stars group for accepting me into their tight knit group, it was a dream come true, can't wait until the next one we are all hunting together, maybe we will be a little more successful. Some of the guys I want to thank for helping me out and working together to find space rocks are: Tim Heitz, Larry Atkins, Sonny Clary, Karl Ashton, Reuben Garcia, Rob Wesel, Stan Walls, Mike Bandli, Jason Phillips, Greg Hupe, Michael Cottingham, Eric Whichman, Mark Hirsch, Keith Wandry, and more, I know I left others out, too many all stars to list them all.

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday, Meteorite Men!
Hi All, First off, happy birthday greetings to Geoff and Steve -- I hope you both had a fabulous time at your Birthday Bash last night at the Sky Bar, and that your bar tabs were covered by everyone else. ;-) I really wish I could have made it to Tucson again this year, but it's been crunch-time at work getting our ground software operational for our satellite launch in less than six months. I owe you both a belated birthday cocktail the next time our paths cross (hopefully in some farflung strewn field!) I got an e-mail from Bob Verish this morning, informing me that I won a Harvey Award last night!! I am honored and humbled and (as I wrote Geoff privately a little while ago) simultaneously a bit horrified that I couldn't be there in person last night to accept it. It would have been a special treat to share the stage with NEO-hunter-extraordinaire, Richard Kowalski, who I understand also won a Harvey. As long as I'm on the subject of asteroids, I'd like to share with the List a little early birthday gift that I presented Geoff late last year, but decided to wait until his birthday to announce publically: MPC 72991 citation: (132904) Notkin = 2002 RB237 Geoffrey Notkin (b. 1961) is co-host of the popular Science Channel series Meteorite Men and author of over 100 articles on meteoritics, paleontology and the arts. A discoverer of meteorites on four continents, he has also made documentaries for Discovery, National Geographic, PBS, the BBC and the History Channel. - - - - - Minor planet dynamical group: Hilda Semi-major axis: 3.9982764 a.u. Inclination: 3.55428 degrees Eccentricity: 0.1440889 Perihelion distance: 3.422169 a.u. Aphelion distance: 4.574384 a.u.

The Hildas are interesting in that they are in a 2:3 orbital resonance with Jupiter: they complete three orbits for every two Jovian orbits. The first Hilda asteroid was discovered in 1875.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Ensisheim
Hi Matthias, for me that phenomenon in Melencolia I is rather a comet. Fits also better into the symbolism of the piece. (like Tacitus, Plinius ect. as a sign of change, maybe downfall). Whack is the additional rainbow. Btw. I really doubt, that that painting by Duerer can be interpreted as a naturalistic image of the Ensisheim Fireball or that it was intended to be. http://kuerzer.de/Duererens Ensisheim was a daylight fireball, plain day at noon. That drawing, there it's dark and night. And Duerer was a master of all techniques. And the exactness and the naturalistic quality of his observations in his drawings and painitings are legendary. So if he wanted to depict the Ensisheim bolide, I think, he would have made it in a different way. Best!

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday West
I want to pay my respects to this life changing fall and all the incredible friendships and life experiences made and gained as a result. I learned that sometimes you need to just drop what youre doing and go for it. For me, West spawned a new life-long passion and set the stage for what would be a very successful year of meteorite hunting around North America. I am truly grateful for all the people that were a part of my experience in West: Rob Wesel, Jason Phillips, Steve and Geoff, Patrick Thompson, and everyone else that shared in the magic. Life is too short not to find meteorites. Go for it!

It's this meteorite which sparked much interest in the contained amino acids and the burgeoning theories of meteorites seeding life on Earth. http://images.google.com/images?hl=enum=1sa=1q=murchison+meteorite Hi Jeff and List, and Friday, 12 Sep 1997, Ron Baalke posted this: Amino acids have been found in Murchison and other carbonaceous meteorites. There are two types of amino acids, one group which is characterized as being left-handed and the other group right-handed. Amino acids can be formed from biological and non-biological means. However, it is interesting to note that all life known thus far produce the left-handed amino acids. No one really knows why life has a preference for left-handed amino acids. Murchison has been observed to have an excess of left-handed amino acids. Is this an indication of life in the Murchison meteorite? Under normal circumstances, you would expect an equal number of left-handed and right-handed amino acids to form if they were formed from non- biological means. Some people speculated that this is a sign of life in Murchison. However, the excess of left-handed amino acids alone is not an indication of life, as such an excess can be explained by non-bioligical means. The excess of left-handed amino acids in Murchison is rather small, with the excess ranging from 2.8% to 10.4%. In a paper titled Distinguishing the Chiral* Signature of Life in the Solar System and Beyond given by Alexandra MacDermott at the SPIE conference in July 1997, she explains how amino acids could be formed from non-biological means and show an excess of either left-hand or right-handed amino acids. It has been clearly shown in the laboratory that circular polarized light exposure can be used to force the selection of which hand amino acids will be. MacDermott proposes that early in the formation of the the solar system, it was exposed to circularly polarized raditaion of a passing neutron star. Which pole of the neutron star facing the solar system would determine which hand the pre-solar dust cloud would have an excess of. MacDermott concluded that the excess of left-handed amino acids in Murchison was not due to biological means, and an excess of amino acids on its own does not necessarily imply life. MacDermott also remarked that if Richard Hoover's paper on finding possible microfossils in Murchison (which was also presented the day before at the same SPIE conference) bears out to be true, then she would have to rethink the conclusions from her paper. * chiral / chirality = (of a molecule) not superimposable on its mirror image.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Murchison - 40th Anniversary
Thanks Jeff for this very significant reminder and for the link! Murchison is by all means one of the most fascinating meteorites and undoubtedly still has a lot of mysteries hidden in its depths, waiting at being solved some day. 40th birthday totally forgotten ? Not really We, a bunch of 9 people far from Murchison spot, did remember to celebrate that famous meteorite fall birthday by bringing a modest contribution to that issue (Murch's extraterrestrial contents) through sending to a prestigious journal a couple of days ago a (very serious) manuscript entitled: Murchison, 40 years later: unprecedented molecular diversity of extraterrestrial organic matter unraveled by non-targeted ultrahigh resolution molecular analysis (contribution from 4 different European research groups) It was sent so that it reaches the editing stafftoday, exactly 40 years after Murchison fell! Sorry for the lack of details but you might understand we wish the contents to remain confidential for obvious reasons (original findings, exclusivity) for now. Hopefully more clues on our paper contents could be disclosed in the near future, thus after it is (possibly) officially accepted for publication.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Ninginger
Greetings List, In honor of Dr. Nininger's Birthday. --AL Dr. Nininger was good at both presenting information on his numerous talks throughout central and western United States and also at hunting them. He would sometimes stop in at a local restaurant for a bite to eat and would lay meteorite specimens on the counter so as to generate interest that would sometimes uncover new finds. He would go back to areas he had asked about specimens before and ask again, always offering a reward for a new find. His program was initiated in 1923 and by 1950 in the state of Kansas alone where only 15 new meteorites had been located in seventy five years prior, he had located an additional 40 new falls! Perhaps more important was information he was collecting with each new field investigation. He was trying to unravel some of the assumptions of that time into more factual information produced by the types and amount of new falls and finds he or those working with him had found. Some of these were the ratios of the different types of various falls, such as irons and stony type. Nininger showed that showers of stony meteorites were the rule rather than the exception. Nininger brought to light over 222 previously unknown falls, that added up to over 2,000 individual meteorites during this time frame of hunting. No doubt that many other new falls were found as an indirect result of his program to other institutions, collectors and scientists. A Dr. Flecter Watson of Harvard once wrote in his book Between The Planets Published in 1941 that Nininger was accounting for half of all the discoveries in the world at that time. In 1937 thirty one new discoveries were tabulated to have been found due to Nininger's efforts. More than three times the amount found in any three years previous for the entire world. For all of the finds there were also the pseudo-meteorite finds that totaled some 35,000 specimens that yielded nothing. Nininger figured he had published over 150 different papers, four books and two booklets and passed out over 200,000 free leaflets in his effort to bring about new meteorite finds and information. Nininger also stated that mankind is not ready to write a chemical formula for meteorites as some new varieties have only been encounter only once and perhaps some will only fall to our planet once in a 10,000 year span of time. Of the 1,800 varieties that had been found and cataloged at that time, some were only represented by one, two, or three falls. He also reasoned there are some that have never reached our planet at all and that we don't have an adequate sample of the over-all increment of the meteoritcal matter and I think that is even ringing as true today as back then. Often Nininger was told that a fall was all hunted out and that no more remained. In his program of finding more specimens he would often hunt an area again and find many more new specimens. Such was the case of the Plainview where 68.2 pounds had been found at the time and it was suggested that all of that fall had been found and no more remained. However, an additional 1430 lbs were later recovered due to the efforts of Nininger and some others. Showing a lack of understanding of how to hunt a strewnfield. Source: Find A Falling Star By H.H.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Nininger/Nininger Moment
Hi Arizona Keith and all, Since you mentioned Nininger's Birthday thought I would run this Nininger Moment through the list. All my best to all! --AL Mitterling Mitterling Meteorites Nininger Moment #26 The Bondoc Philippine Meteorite Recovery Story One of the largest and best meteorites might have gone undiscovered in not for Nininger's effort and that of his friend John A. Lednicky. Only 2 other Philippine specimens had been found prior to the Bondoc find. It started when Nininger and Addie were on their 5 month long tour and after the sale of the first part of their collection. Nininger had been seeking tektites from south east Asia and visited the National Bureau of Mines in 1959. There Nininger found a sample sent in as iron ore that was round and badly weathered. The Mass having stony material attached and testing positive for nickel set Nininger's mind into motion. After seeking Permission to hunt the material down he was given the name of Senator Tanada of the Filipino Congress who Nininger visited. The matter had been transferred to the Senator's Son a lawyer who shared the prospect with his friend Mendoza another lawyer who lived closer to the site a remote jungle far down the Bondoc Peninsula. The two young lawyers contacted two Japanese geologists who sought finding an iron mine. The two Japanese geologist went to check out the possible iron deposit but returned discussed and disappointed as it was only something that had fallen out of the sky and they sought an iron mine. Part of the state of mind of the geologists was due to the great effort to reach the site. Several hours journey by slow train. Then waiting hours for a bus that ran on days the roads were passable and dry. A full days journey 40 miles to a small village. Then from the small village by boat down the coast to the mouth of a river. Down the River as far as the boat could go then trampling on foot ten hours through crocodile and snake infested jungle! Nininger attempted to make the trip himself along with his wife Addie with guided help but twisted an ankle before they were very far along. He then turned for help asking his friend John Lednicky who assisted in the hunt. The process of locating, finding a way to extract, floating the specimen to the small village and finally getting it to Nininger was a three and a half year process. Estimated recovery cost was $3750.00. Lednicky hired men who loaded it on to a wooden sled but three caribou were unable to move it. Neither was a small bulldozer. A larger bulldozer was then used to bring the specimen to the mouth of the river. A raft was then constructed of bamboo to tow the specimen on to Manila. The effort to float it to Manila was a nightmare with much risk involved. While transporting the specimen a typhoon hit the area and huge waves rocked the raft and meteorite. Two fishing boats with motors were hired to help stabilized the cargo. One sank in the process and four men nearly drowned. Difficulty in hiring a truck was the next problem after the storm, as roads were washed out and dangerous and risked recovery of the specimen. Finally a truck was hired from a friend of the men who were hired to bring the specimen to Manila. After reaching Manila more red tape and delays plague the shipping of the specimen to Nininger. The specimen weighed Just under one ton (1955 lbs) and was the second largest stony meteorite recovered at that time. Upon reaching Nininger's newly built home in the hills, he placed the meteorite just inside a window where his shop was. Nininger studied the specimen's outside structure before attempting to cut a slab from it. Nininger invited about 60 friends and colleges over before the first slab was taken from it for an opening party. Nininger knew that the specimen was a unique one from the original sample and he was very curious as to the internal structure. At the party Nininger started the saw which ran for 162 hours and cut the first end piece off weighing 120 lbs. Of the distinguished guests Carleton Moore was there and carried the first slice back to the laboratory at Tempe Arizona for the University of Arizona as a gift from Nininger. Nininger stated the real hero as John Lednicky who's relentless effort brought about recovery of the specimen at great personal time and sacrifice. Only expenses and satisfaction of success were his requirements for payment. Nininger later sent him a special meteorite gift as an added thank you. Source: Find A Falling Star By H.H.

Some of the items written in the moments might be old out dated material and the reader is advised to keep this in mind. --AL Mitterling Arizona Keith wrote: Hello List Just wanted to say Happy Birthday Harvey Harlow Nininger born on January 17, 1887 We owe him so much!

After reading your Nininger text, I remembered that I once bought a 20.6 g end piece of Bondoc. I even has a small number, painted with white ink (by H.H. Nininger?): (2)684.255 In the Catalog of Meteorites in the Coll. of ASU (Arizona State University) I found 550 kilos mentioned, the catalog number is 684...
