Good evening collectors large and small;
For those new to the list, those small tiny pieces are known as
"Bessy-Specks" after the honorable Dean Bessy who first pioneered those
affordably prices smaller denomination sized....well, specks. A great
way to add lunar or martian pieces to a budding collector's budget
minded collection.........until he finds a great big pallesite which
would be called "Arnold's Luck" after the most honorable Steve Arnold
(not of CHICAGO).
Best Wishes,
Dave Freeman

Hi All,
I agree----I like putting together smaller pieces of the rare
meteorites.....because they look nice all together on display.....and
simply because its hard for me to afford the larger pieces. This
way.....I get a variety of many different types.....some being
extremely rare, like Lunar and Martian pieces!!
This is why I like the amounts that Adam Hupe usually offers.....in
this way, a "little fish" like me can still get some "HEAVYWEIGHT"
pieces at an affordable price.....where if the piece was much
larger.....I would not be able to afford them right now. Just my 2
cents worth of chatter.
Have a good weekend everyone!
Best,
Kirk...........

Subject: [meteorite-list] Micromounts; craters; SL9 impact movie
Hi all -
I few thoughts in the night.
On micromounts, I seem to rememeber that several years
ago someone had assembled a box set, with a wide
assortment of meteorites (about $400 at the time)...
I also remembered that Nininger produced a book which
had a canyon diablo in a plastic bubble...
I also remembered that Jensen scientific was selling a
collection for educational use...
So, why not a childrens' book, which has cheap
examples of the three common types packaged in bubbles
attached to the pages? Kind of like a "Rocks From
Space" Jr. edition - a basic primer. Think of all the
aggravation a book like this would save you when those
kids became adults.
Second,would someone put together an internet list of
craters with with Google Earth/ and or Microsoft Earth
links? add age, and leave a column for impactor type,
which you can fill in with "unknown" for most of them
right now.
Finally, where is a movie showing the impacts of all
of the fragments of SL9 with Jupiter? While we have
movies or images of each impact, they've never been
combined. No one has remapped the colors and re-sized
them. Simulated natural color would be nice.
good hunting,
Ed
