[meteorite-list] Introduction and question
Hi. I got hooked on meteorites by following Prof Mike Brown's coursera course. After this I started watching ebay and reading what I could google. I don't really know where I'm going with this hobby but I have aquired a lot of small meteorite samples, and I have ordered a microscope, at least. I also tried to cut open an unknown nwa meteorite with a rough tile-saw and could clearly see metal specks at least. The question: A friend of mine tells me that there are a lot of rocks that look like meteorites to be found in the area where he lives, and the story is that they are remains of an old volcano. The school's science teacher cut one open and decided it was Pyrite. A google search really gave me nothing except this facebook page, what is the feeling of the experts about this? https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.270484833096946.1073741837.263110637167699type=1 I'd also be happy for other advice in the direction of my new hobby.

Re: [meteorite-list] Introduction and question
Thank you Michael, those are good sites. I would add this one: http://meteorites.wustl.edu/more_info_nonlunar.htm particularly all the pages with hundreds of pictures of meteorwrongs. Very educational. And to Jan Marius, I would recommend you contact Morten Bilet, a fellow Norwegian. As far as I remember there is no such a thing as sedimentary meteorites, and all those pictures look like very terrestrial rocks. Be careful! Anne M.

[meteorite-list] Introduction and some cool photos
Greetings Listoids, Hello, I am new to the list and to meteorites. Please enjoy these microscopic photographs of my four pallasite slices: http://free.radio.su/meteorites.html These are taken at 100X and 400X with a ProScope, at or near the olivine-iron boundary. I'm pretty curious about some of these features, especially on the Brenham. Is it just surface rust?

Re: [meteorite-list] Introduction and some cool photos
Dear Dave, Very good micro-photographs. I have seen these on many pallasites under my microscope. Analysis has shown me that the rust looking trails are the remains of iron oxide solutions from galvanic corrosion action under either surface coatings or Olivine xls. They micro blast off easily. You may have heard that I have shown that many of our meteorites are loaded with water after plunging into earth soil that contains water vapor and with 14.7 #/sq shoves water vapor into the shocked meteorite. Oxygen and other elements enter the meteorite and then have a field day supporting the earlier galvanic action process. My goal is to help our knowledge of meteorite preservation be a universal capability.

[meteorite-list] Introduction...
Dear Adam, and All, I guess I owe you an apology for sending my private mail to the entire list, sorry about that... Perhaps a good occasion for presenting myself to the list though, as I am following the postings for the last 4-5 years without really introducing myself. Although I am working in an entirely different field as a psychologist and a university lecturer, I have always been fascinated by everything from outer-space. I am from the lunar-landing Apollo generation and since I found out about meteorites being sold at Ebay I have spent most of my spare time (and money ;-) ) on building up a collection through the last five years or so. I have specialized on collecting smaller stones and am currently "focused" on martians, which is why I sent my mail to Adam. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank so many of you dealers, especially Adam Hupé, Mike Farmer for making the collecting of meteorites possible. In addition Imuch appreciate the enormous amount of interesting info I have been able to obtain from so many of you from the list. It really is a pleasure to be part of it all. Again apologizing to Adam, and sending you all my very best regards fromthe Netherlands!

[meteorite-list] Introduction
Hello Listers, I wanted to post, as a new member of this list, a bit of introduction. I have been an amateur atronomer since I was a child and have only recently begun collecting meteorites after finding a meteorwrong [vesicular basalt] here in New England. I have purchased a number of meteorites from eBay over the last month or so. I also plan to pick up a metal detector and do some hunting on my own, with GPS of course. Time for some strewfield stidies. I have a question for the list; Is there an ethical market for meterowrongs? I've seen a few go on eBay, but don't know whether people really lnow what they are buying when they bid on these items. You can view my meteorwrong at; http://www.webbers.com/meteorites.html Not offering for sale here, just passing on some pics. Anyway, I'm happy to be among this illustrious company and look forward to learning proper, ethical methods for acquiring for my budding collection. I have ordered a number of books on the subject and scour the net daily for more info. Eventually I will become knowlegable enough to participate here. For now I read and learn. Thanks for all your fantastic info you all post here. Makes me want to get a degree in astrophysics and earth sciences just to fill out my knowledge.

Re: [meteorite-list] Introduction
Thanks for the welcome and the links Dave. You're right, we've porbably bid against each other in eBay. eBay is a mixed blessing in my mind. :) I'm not yet a member of the IMCA - but will shortly remedy that. Thanks for the pointer. I have some books coming from Amazon, but the one you referenced is not on that list. Another remedy to undertake. I visited the Berringer site in the late 50s and wish I'd had the foresight to bring a magnet with me. Now that it's off bounds I've had to pick up Canyon Diablos online. My wife and I do plan a trip there this coming summer. I'm sure much has changed. I know it is closed to meteorite hunting, though am not sure how wide an area that ban includes. Living in the mountains of NH is not the best for backyard hunting, so we definitely plan some future trips to known strewfields. Right now I'm studying like crazy to catch up. A fun endeavor.

[meteorite-list] Introduction and coments on collecting habits.
Hello everyone I just wanted to introduce my self, my name Is Mike Miller. On E-bay I am known as Flattoprocks. I started out by getting the idea in my head that I could actually go out in the desert ( I live in Arizona) and find a "shooting star". I was able to do that in the Gold Basin strewn field and since I have hunted the Holbrook, Glorieta Mountain and also found a couple of meteorites on Red Lake. That is how my collecting got started, I kept ( in my opinion) the best pieces I found of a particular meteorite. Now they have grown to collecting any outstanding specimen that I might have the chance to purchase or trade for. I also wanted to let everyone know I have for sale or trade Glorieta Mountain Pallasite slices in the 60 to 120 gram range. At the reasonable price of $25.00 per gram. If you have any questions you can contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike
