Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks From Space Picture of the Day - June 30, 2007

Hello All, This is simply a piece of NWA 4759, to steal Carsten's NWA number. But, whereas he lists the TKW at seven hundred or so grams, there are really *at least* 10kg of material. The main mass (at least the largest stone that I saw) was about as big as my head. The rest of the stones that

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks From Space Picture of the Day - June 11, 2007

Don, If you can't tell that the stone pictured is a meteorite (without any doubt), you're an idiot. Furthermore, do you truly believe it necessary to cut stones such as this, that display beautiful fusion crust and a broken window into the interior that undoubtedly reveals a common chondritic comp

Re: [meteorite-list] Global Warming - Scientifically proven or a farce

Hello All, It doesn't matter why the Earth is warming. The fact of the matter is that people are dying of starvation thanks to the warming (yes, Rob, it's happening - recheck your data because it's clearly completely wrong, as far as global trends are concerned), and scientific fact tells us tha

Re: [meteorite-list] Suspect Seller?

Hello Ken, Bill, Mark, All, Ken's message just informed 600+ people that there was a fraudulent seller on ebay. Ben's post told 600+ people that *he* was fed up with reading other peoples' posts about fraudulent sellers. This is one of those cases where I would have to say that, without a doubt

[meteorite-list] Cool California Find

Hello All, Usually I don't post find images, but I thought this one from the day before yesterday was pretty cool. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f306/JUtas/DSCN2320.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f306/JUtas/DSCN2315.jpg It's the smallest stone we've ever found, weighing in at ~.5-.6g

Re: [meteorite-list] Tennessee fall picture on postcard on ebay.

Hello Sterling, Robert, All, Sterling's right, but to clarify a little; it's a fairly common postcard showing the excavation of the second largest Brenham mass (formerly the largest...). I've seen countless cards like this around...it's one of the two common Brenham cards, and there's most likely

Re: [meteorite-list] Link to Al Mahbas Pallasite Photo

Hello Rob, All, Looks a lot more like NWA 4482 to me...just a different pallasite. I bought a piece of a pallasite that I was told was "Al Mahbas" as well - definitely not desert varnished like it, and visually typical of 4482... Regards, Jason On 3/24/07, Rob Wesel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Se

Re: [meteorite-list] Fusion crusts on stony meteorites

Hello Marcin, All, It's probably impossible to say precisely what that melt is without tapping into those gas bubbles and checking out the composition of whatever gas (if any) is in there. Just because there is no other melt within the matrix of the meteorite itself does not rule out the possibilit
