[meteorite-list] Meteorite collection survey

2014-07-15 Thread E.P. Grondine via Meteorite-list
Hi Paul - 

1.  What or who got you interested in meteorites and how old were
you when you got your first meteorite?

Impacts got me interested in meteorites. I was trying to see if anyone had any 
fragments from the Joshua impact event.

 2.  What was your first meteorite?

Slices I bought from Ann Black at Tucson. I had gotten snowed in on my return 
from the American Institute of Archaeology annual meeting in San Diego, so I 
ended up at Tucson.

 3.  Do you still have it?

Yes - I use them for education purposes for young people giving my Rocks from 
Space show, along with my other specimens from the Tucson show.

 4.   Do you have special areas of interest that you focus on in regards to 
meteorites (thin sections, photography, chemistry, age dating..  etc)?

All of the above. From formation to distribution to tektites and shock 
features..

5.   Does your Family share in your interest in meteorites?

No. 

6.   Do you have any special approaches to collecting? (Type collection, only 
stones, only irons, only by aesthetics, etc. or any and all that you like.)

Artifacts and impactites

 7.   Do you mind saying how many locations your collection represents?

Global now.

 8. Is your collection displayed or kept in a dry box or both?

I keep part with me for the Rocks from Space show. Carry them around in an 
Ojibwe leather bag 

9.   In what ways do you use your computer for meteorites. (met-list, Social 
Media, meteorite research, shopping, etc)

Follow the news via the meteorite list.

10.  Do you ever hunt for meteorites?

Ahem. cough cough.
They seem to find their way to me...

11.  What is your favorite meteorite in your collection?

This is a tough one. You have the artifacts made from meteorites, and the 
meteorites.

I like the Allende, but the little piece of the Moon thrills the young people.
Have you ever seen how big their eyes get?

12.   What is your favorite overall if it is not the one above?

13.  What makes these of special interest?

Calcium aluminum inclusions. 
My little piece of the Moon is right up there with the fossilized dinosaur poop 
in terms of crowd reaction.

14.  What meteorites are currently on your wish list?

A very small slice of Brenham for my Rocks From Space talk.
Just enough to see the olivine and iron. 

 15.  What methods have been most successful in building your collection? 
(Buying at shows, from dealers by mail, auctions on the web,   trading... etc)

Trades and gifts. 

For example, I have a nice Meteor Crater, which is not a Canyon Diablo.

 16.   Which Shows do you attend?

Powwows, but I really would like to get back to Tucson again.

 17.  Do you also collect related materials like impact glasses, breccias, 
melts, tektites, shocked fossils, native iron rocks etc?

Yes.

18.   Do you prepare any of your own specimens? (cut, polish, etch, etc.)

No. 

19.     Have you had to take any special measures to protect them from the 
environment?

I pack them as well as I can, but they have to be used for the purposes I 
mentioned earlier.

The copy of Nininger's pamphlet that Bob Haag lined me up with stays on my desk.

PS - I am sorry that Adreas did not like my book. I would have given him money, 
but he had destroyed his copy. My lesson from this is that my book is best for 
native English speakers. PS2 - It is now widely acknowledged that Homo 
Heidelbergensis was indeed the first hominid our of Africa.

good hunting, everyone,
Ed

Dear Listees and Karmaka

Thanks for this rather depressing news. I am fearful for the security and 
safety of collections in South African museums. This is not a story I haven't 
heard before involving other museums. I hope the perpetrators are caught, but I 
fear they will  not. This can only serve to encourage other to do the same - 
unfortunately this also means curators and other museum workers.

Fred,

It would be a Gibeon from Namibia. Keetmanshoop 
is one of the farms where it's been found.

OSR.238.Cdb_key=ASTpage_ind=0data_type=GIFtype=SCREEN_VIEWclassic=Y
ES

Keetmanshoop is a 168 kg iron, was on display 
in the local high school. Dimensions, fall 
date, discovery date, and discoverer are 
unknown. The Smithsonian got 622 gm. of it.
Went to the East London Museum.

It is the largest of the meteorites stolen 
from the East London Museum in South Africa 
on March 26-27, 2014.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite collection SOLD

2005-09-09 Thread meteoritehunter
Well, it is official, I have sold my entire meteorite collection to none other 
than Matt Morgan. We spent last night in Denver going through the collection 
and setting it up at Matt's home. I still have a few pieces, but not much. 
Panama, here I come!
Here is a photo of Matt and I setting up his case with all his new meteorites.

I will be back in Denver next week, prowling around the show there, so I hope 
to see many of you there.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Collection

2005-08-23 Thread mineral
I'm thinking about buying a small collection of cooler NWA's but I'm unsure 
of the current NWA market.  I usually stick to the witnessed falls and finds 
with cool stories, but I thought that this would round out the collection 
better.  Plus they are great under the microscope.  Can anyone on the list 
provide the current retail prices of these NWA's so I can tell if the price 
that he is asking is OK.  Thanks in advance, Derek.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite collection database

2002-08-31 Thread Lars Pedersen

Hi all

I am working on a meteoritecollection database, for my personal collection.

At this point it contain the following info:

Name
Type
Weight
Total known weight
Found
Time
Description
History
Picture

Are there any sugestions for putting more relevant info into it ?

f. eks. Price ?

If it becomes real good, maybe  it would be of interest for others ?

Greetings from Denmark

Hi Lars,

How about... Fall / Find---and Locale i.e. the specific State / Country / 
Province (the name doesn't always indicate a pinpoint, exact location---or a 
location no one recognizes)
