[meteorite-list] Very Large Philippine Tektite

2011-02-10 Thread Aubrey Whymark
Hi   A potentially record breaking tektite came to light on Monday 7th February from Paracale. If you are the person who bought this item from Red Balesa could you email me off-list. I am just after some measurement data as it would be a shame if this specimen is lost to science. Thanks,

Aloha mai kakou, As NASA's Dawn spacecraft nears its first destination, Asteroid 4 Vesta for a July 2011 arrival, great excitement and anticipation surround its rendezvous and orbit of the protoplanet. Will data obtained from Dawn confirm or refute Vesta's connection with HED meteorites?

Hi Matteo/List, Most if not all of it definitely ended up in the sea. Based on triangulation of multiple cameras, Italian astronomers have computed a terminal burst altitude of 30.3 +/- 1.2 km. So mainland Italy is out. However, yesterday I was amused to discover that when I combine the terminal

[meteorite-list] Cleaning Sikhote Alin meteorites

2011-02-10 Thread Ruben Garcia
Hi all, I just bought some very nice SA's but they are not cleaned like the others we are used to seeing. Anyone know how they clean SA meteorites? I am quite sure it is not a wire brush as the other SA's are cleaned in all the cracks and crevasses. A wire brush couldn't do that. --

Ruben, please attach a photo maybe? All the SA's today recently arrive all soaked in black dirty t-fluid, quite a tussle. My best specimens never were, and it's why they are my best and will forever remain in my collection. I'd love to see the condition you are referring to. Dremmel tool?

I'm not positive on this one, but I believe their being tumbled. I picked up a piece of shrapnel in Tucson that had two weird looking spheres embedded to it, and when I inquired about them I was told they were beads from the cleaning process. They came off with a little pressure.

Ruben and all, I've cleaned other types of rocks with a water jet tooth brush set up in the past. It could have used a lot more pressure. I've also baking soda blasted fine metal parts with my bead blaster. A Dentist quality water jet would work very good, I would think. Do not know why that
