[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
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.

Re: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !
All, I've been meaning to write in for some time to say how much I've enjoyed the book and the pieces I have purchased. I love this sort of package - the pictures, maps and the stones in hand! Thanks again for this effort! And I hope to have some time this week to check out the new additions. It would be nice if the authors are able to come to Tucson this year... Happy hunting, and best wishes, Mark B. Vail, AZ P.S. safe travels to all the attendees this year! And before I forget; Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira!! --- From: Fabien Kuntz wwmeteori...@yahoo.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 8:21 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !

[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. (Just something to think about; context is everything. g) Chris *** Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
