Dear Wu and list members, This broadcast seems to show the first analyses of the new meteorite. Unfortunately, I don't understand anything, but it's very nice to watch anyway. I would like to know what they have already found out. http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/4A5TvSJgsI8

A nice 'heavy metal toad' that does not try to escape when you approach it. ;-) An interesting and informative map as well. I didn't know that so many fragments have already been found. Thanks for sharing, Brian! Martin Von: valpar...@aol.com An: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com

Hi there, we shouldn't forget to applaud the Canadians here. While in former times they applied their laws in the strictest possible manner, not using the flexibility the laws allow, they meanwhile have profoundly changed the opus moderandi to a positive and for the generation of new and old

Hi List, I added a 1.27g Tissint specimen to my sale page. More than 50% crusted, and beautifully displaying shock features that are typical for this meteorite. The price is at the low end for crusted pieces of this Martian Fall: $825 ($650/g) If interested, please have a look at:

Hi Martin! Dr. Chris Herd and his team of hunters have done and are doing an excellent job at recording find data. The map shown is representative of all their hard work and efforts in an area that is often not easy to hunt! It also shows all the fun they have had recovering the meteorites!

Hi MikeG, Yes these JSC/SI ANSMET photos are great enhancements for the write-ups. Of course they've been doing this for years, but I think I'm going start following suit by including photos on some of my more interesting write-ups, especially if a photo is helpful in the description when words

Hi Dr. Agee! I sent you a private email about this and agreed 135%. I thought about this more and I changed my mind. I agree 150%, with one exception! Rather than more interesting, I'd change that to all. I would go as far as saying no pictures, no approval. But I doubt my one vote would

Congrats Larry! It looks like really weathered specimens! The black bar, if it's the one I am looking at of which you speak, is likely signs of hydraulics and weathering where the stone is morphing into maghemite??? I often see this when cutting the Franconia associated with finite cracks

Hi   The etching is genuine. The statement that 'if etching was terrestrial then the whole surface would be etched' is incorrect.You have to remember that different surfaces have been exposed to different conditions. Some surfaces simply have no stresses and lines of weakness for chemical

Hi I like your last paragraph Brian - I think this is closer to the truth. Tektite glass doesn't survive 35 million years unless it is in rather special preservational conditions. The U-grooved specimens likely sat around for a few hundreds of thousands of years in an acidic (rainwater)
