Re: [meteorite-list] Moon Trees
Hi Al: If I remember correctly, Tom Jones brought a meteorite up in the Shuttle on one of his flights. Larry Hi Richard and all, One of the Shuttle Missions I covered at the Kennedy Space Center, took up seeds that were eventually brought back down and given to school kids to plant later on to study any anomalies. I believe that meteorites (small) have been take up and brought back down but not planted :-) Also Richard Montgomery, If I've told dealers and collectors once, I've told them a hundred times to not touch magnets to their meteorites as it magnetizes them :-) Seriously though, studies on magnetic properties are conducted and specimens that haven't been altered by magnets are needed to check these weak magnetic fields. --AL Mitterling - Original Message - From: Richard Kowalski kowal...@lpl.arizona.edu To: Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 9:28 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Moon Trees Changing threads here.

There are a number of first generation trees around the United States.

Re: [meteorite-list] Moon Trees
Al, great info. For all following this thread of thought (my specimens moving in my cabinet...and I'm not joking about it)...a piece of wisdom for us all. I haven't exposed my specimes to magnets, yet, not being the original finder (what a grand thing that would be to find individual Seymchan siderites, oriented at that...I'll post some pics if anyone is interested by the way)...there is no telling what the previous holders of these specimens did with a rare-earth magnet. This is the most plausible of explanations I have heard yet. I'm curious if any other Listers have discovered this stuff along the waychime in! (The CV3 3118 moving is still weird.) This also brings up an interesting issue: how many of us have used a rare-earth magnet to estimate magnetic suseptibility on our NWAxxxs if for no other reason to get an idea of L or H? For that matter, unless I am the original finder and guarantee to myself that a rare-earth magnet hasn't swayed (or comromised/contaminated) the indiginous magnetic properties of a meterite newly introduced to humanity...how do we know if it's been compromised? - Original Message - From: al mitt alm...@kconline.com To: Richard Kowalski kowal...@lpl.arizona.edu; Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 7:50 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Moon Trees Hi Richard and all, One of the Shuttle Missions I covered at the Kennedy Space Center, took up seeds that were eventually brought back down and given to school kids to plant later on to study any anomalies.
