[meteorite-list] Mark's Tucson Report and Martin's Signs Gallery
Hello Everyone! Mark Bostick's annual Tucson Report is now linked to from his Collector's Corner column. Please have a look. Also check out the 59 pictures that have been submitted to Martin's Sign Gallery. Thanks Everyone! If you noticed that MeteoriteTimes was down for a few hours and that the Signs Gallery was not working for a couple of days it's because we fried a server. Our Meteorite Directory still has some problems which will be taken care of after a new update in about a week. http://www.meteoritetimes.com/ Thanks!

Re: [meteorite-list] Mark's Tucson Report and Martin's Signs Gallery
There is a mistake in Mark's article. Apparently Mark was taken in by the rumor that was spread around the show about the 1.5kg lunar. His report is wrong and should be changed in the spirit of accuracy Jim Strope 421 Fourth Street Glen Dale, WV 26038 http://www.catchafallingstar.com - Original Message - From: Paul Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 4:33 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Mark's Tucson Report and Martin's Signs Gallery Hello Everyone!

Hello Jim and list, My report noted: E.T. was in the same room as he was last year. This year his inventory ranged from bargain priced baby NWA869's to a lunar I am guessing weighed 1.5 kg.

In thespirit of accuracyI changed the line to E.T. was in the same room as he was last year. This year his inventory ranged from bargain priced baby NWA869's to some small complete Dhofar lunars. E.T. was selling some small lunars for Rob Wesel and I know they were real. Now with that out of way. E.T. had a big stone...he was calling, and showed to me as a lunar...that I guessed weighed 1.5 kg. If that was some joke or the like, I do not know nor was I a part of it. It did look the part so I guess it was some eucrite? Either way I was not spreading some rumor from the show, and if you have noticed, as in the past, I avoid writing about the ugly of the show. In the future, if you do not mind, I would prefer you e-mail me just privately on such as thing, rather then say, e-mail Paul and the list. I think you owe me a beer at the next birthday bash for that. Just joking, but since we are friendly, that e-mail was...surprising.

Mark, it was a joke, a sad pathetic joke that ran it's course in about 5 minutes, but didn't die. When Jim Strope and I announced our new Lunar, apparently the next day, Edwin and Ted Bunch thought it would be funny to call us and say that he had a 2 kilo Martian meteorite in his room. Of course, we rushed right over to see it, and the laughing started as it was so funny that we would rush back to the hotel to see this new Mars rock. Then Edwin decided to just keep saying it, and added the 1.5 kilo Lunar to the rumor as well. We spoke with Ted after a few days when customers started coming to my room and when I showed them the new Lunar, they commented that they saw a much larger one over at E'T's. So he was telling people he had a 1.5 kilo Lunar, a flat out lie since the rock he had there was not even a meteorite. I am offended at this, and I told them that. This was a pathetic attempt by someone who had no new planetary to diminish my room which had no less than 11 Lunars: DAG 400, Dhofar 025, Dhofar 081, Dhofar 908, Dhofar 1180, NEA 001, NWA 482, NWA 2200, NWA 2727, NWA 2977, NWA 2995, and for a time, Greg Hupe's 1 kilo Lunar was in my room as well, so Room 184 had OVER 2 kilograms of real lunar on display, and that seemed to chap some people's backsides enough for them to lie about what they had. There 10 Martian meteorites as well: (there were more but I can not remember) DAG 476, Dhofar 019, NWA 998, NWA 1068, NWA 2046, SAU 180, Zagami (a complete slice of 101 grams). This is a tactic that some dealers use to get people to their rooms (telling people they have things that they do not) and to diminish what other dealers have. I think it has gone far enough, now that Mark is publishing it as truth, and ET needs to apologize and tell people why he was lying to people, telling them he had a 1.5 kilo Moon rock and 2 kilo Martian meteorite (that was actually a nice Diogenite).

Re: [meteorite-list] Mark's Tucson Report and Martin's Signs Gallery
I guess in the future it would be wise to consider the source when someone tells you they have a Lunar or Martian. Especially one that has not been analyzed before it has been unannounced. Unlike this one which is a real lunar, not yet cut or released for sale.. http://www.catchafallingstar.com/nwa2995/nwa2995.htm Greg Hupe also had a REAL Lunar that he was displaying in Tucson, residing for a time in Farmer's room.
