[meteorite-list] My First Piece - Allende - O.R. Norton
Fred Olsen wrote: a traveling rock salesman stopped at my rock shop The Quarry in Gainesville, Florida in the spring of 1969. This gentleman (I wish I knew his name) had just driven in an old stationwagon from Mexico with a load of minerals from the mines and a box of fresh meteorites from the Pueblito de Allende to sell. Hello Fred, O.R. Norton, and List, When I read Fred's comments above, I instantly felt I had heard a similar story somewhere before. But where ...? Yes, in O.R. Norton's RFS (I + II). Could that have been the very same Frederick Pough? In the summer of 1969, I was running a small planetarium on the University of Nevada campus in Reno. Late one afternoon, a visitor came to my office and introduced himself as Frederick Pough. He asked if I would be interested in buying about 100 pounds of car- bonaceous chondrite meteorites ... Now there was this stranger telling me he had a hundred pounds of carbonaceous meteorites in the trunk of his car and they were for sale! ... We walked out to the parking lot ... Pough lifted the trunk lid and there, carelessly wrapped in old El Paso newspapers ... were dozens of the world's ugliest-looking rocks ... And the meteorites? These were freshly fallen specimens specimens from the now-famous Allende, Mexico fall ... I did indeed purchase the trunk-load of Allende ... (Excerpts from O.R. Norton (1998) Rocks From Space, 2nd edition, pp. 79-81).

[meteorite-list] NWA's and Counting Localities
Dear List: I want to sit down soon and count the number of localities in my collection. It's a modest number, but in recent years I've purchased quite a few classified NWA meteorites and I'm wondering: do I count each classified specimen as a separate locality ( and if I have 2 with different numbers but I know they're paired I would count that as one locality ), or is it more honest or is it even a convention to simply lump all my different NWA's together and count them all as one locality? When I try to think this out I keep coming up with arguments for both approaches. It seems silly to lump a lunar with an L6 but classification and locality are 2 different things and with no, or very few, GPS coordinates for any of them maybe lumping them all together as one vast locality is correct? Any thoughts on what may seem a splitting-hairs question?

[meteorite-list] First meteorite
As a mineral collector and amature astronomer I guess it was inevitable that I would end up with meteorites. My first was a 10g. slice of Gibeon that I bought at the swap meet at the Texas Star party in 1993. Of course I still have it. I am a minor collector compared to many on this list but the collection continues to grow. I display it frequently at Chamberlin Observatory for the monthly open houses sponcered by the Denver Astronomical Society. At first I only bought during the Denver Gem and Mineral Show, where I have met a number of the dealers on this list. Later, I discovered the internet and now I don't have to waite for a fix. One year ago I discovered the Colorado Meteorite Society (COMETS). We meet monthly and I now have people that understand me. Dan Wray, Denver, Colorado.
Re: [meteorite-list] First Meteorite and David New
Hi Bernd and all, I have to go along with Bernd's remarks considering David New. He truly is one of the great meteorite gentleman dealers of the past, and as Bernd says, still supplies thin sections every now and then. We could use him back! This reminds me about another fine member we have on this list Philip M. Bagnall who seems to be overlooked some while posting to this list occasionally. He wrote the excellent book The Meteorite and Tektite Collectors Handbook. In the back he talks about two organizations you could join in the early 90's, the Meteoritical Society and another organization (NO LONGER EXISTING) called the Society of Meteoritophiles. The Society which I was a brief member of had a nice magazine called Impact! I have several issues and it was one means of learning back then. I have no idea how many members they had total but if Phil has the time to reminisce about the past would really like to hear about it. Those were the days before the internet (was widely used) and you had to buy a book or go to the library to learn about meteorites (which I did both). --AL Show your support at the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund - http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/my-pay-page/PKAXFNQH7EKCX/058-5084202-7156648 ___ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] First meteorite
Well, my first meteorite was a piece of "Old Faithful", Canyon Diablo - a roughly-triangular specimen which I bought thru the post off a Midlands dealer here in the UK... wish I could remember his name... As an amateur astronomer and just-starting-out kids author (only 1 book published then) I'd wanted a real meteorite of my own for ages, and having grown up with pics of Canyon Diablo that seemed to be the obvious one to go for. So, I saved and saved and then sent off, much to the bemusement of my then-wife. Her bemusement deepened when I opened the package, and almost reverently unwrapped the piece inside... and I guess, to her eyes, it *did* look just like "an old bit of rock" as she condemned it as being at the time, but to me it was like holding one of the Universe's own relics, you know? Having seen them in museums, and magazines and books, I was finally holding a real meteorite in my own hands... and it was mine. I owned a piece of "Out There"... don't think I stopped smiling, or looking at it, turning it over and over in my hands for days... My then-wife never "got it". You should have seen her face when I tried to assure her that the bits of dust sealed-up in a micro-mount box really *were* from Mars, and yes, they *were* worth what I had paid for them... Since then my piece of CD has covered many, many miles, and been held by literally thousands of hands. It's gone with me wherever I've travelled to teach astronomy to kids: to Scotland, to tiny schools in the mountains of the Highlands and on the shores of Hebridean islands; all over the north of England, into schools large and small; to Science Fairs, lectures and meetings. It's even travelled back to the US, to be used as a "show and tell" feature when I gave a presentation to a school in northern California. It's been handed around crowds at Skywatches and during eclipses, meteor showers and Comet Nights. And its travels are far from over: later this year it will be travelling with me to Italy, and at year's end will be heading south to Australia, to help me with a school talk I'm planning to give there before enjoying a total solar eclipse. I have others now, of course, a dozen or so, but my little piece of Canyon Diablo still remains special. Stu www.stuartatkinson.com www.newmars.com

[meteorite-list] Re: suspected meteorite
Dear All; I was amazed how so many of you quickley gave me a negative reply. Actually maybe it is my mistake; the site (especially the gallery) was not working properly. And maybe I concentrated on the crystals and left out whole samples which looks more like what is avaialable in meteorite sites. With all the negative replies I got so far, I STILL INSIST it is a meteorite. It could not be anything terrestrial. Although I am not an expert in the field, but I am a physicist, PhD student in Cosmology, and during the last few months I visited almost all sites about meteorites and read a few books. I tried all pre-tests on these rocks and they passed. Only after that I put them on the internet. So how come most of you say these rocks do not look like meteorites at all!!! Again, maybe it is my mistake; the site is not informative enough. Please also excuse my poor English. However, I have updated the site today, and now the gallery should be working nicely. Please revisit the site if you are interested: http://pages.britishlibrary.net/mhy10/meteor/index.html Please also try to solve with me the fossil riddle; I know it is not possible to have such fossils in a meteorite but this is what I found. Do you also know what those white rocks might be. It also seems to me that I have more than one kind of meteorite, but all are from the same area. Is this possible? Please do not ignore this letter if you can help.

Can you explain what a reserve is? A reserve is the absolute lowest fee that consignors accept PRIOR to the deduction of the 10% consignor's fee. The reserve is not published in the catalog. However, consignments with reserves will be indicated in the catalog with a bullet (*). Why would I want a reserve? Reserves are used as a mechanism to protect the consignor so that an item will not sell for too low a price.

Do you prefer consignments with either no reserve or low reserves? Yes. Consignments with no reserves or modest reserves are far more likely to result in a successful sale. Can I insist on a high reserve? No. If the reserve you wish to set is, in my estimation, too high, I will refuse the consignment. The philosophy of this sale is to offer choice merchandise that is attractively priced, which will result in a spirited marketplace. Are high reserves the only consideration in rejecting a consignment? No. If I believe the consignment competes with too many other similar consignments, it will be rejected. Consignments will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. As a consignor to the InnSuites auction, how much will this cost me? If your consignment sells, your cost will be 10% of the hammer price (the highest bid).

Are there deadlines to be a consignor? Yes. As a result of catalog deadlines (paper and cyber) the deadline will be whenever the twelve slots are filled...my guess is by Tuesday, January 8th. There will be a catalog? There will be printed listing available at the InnSuites room 404, as well as a page at Macovich.com. Is there a deadline for physically accepting consignments? Consignments will be physically accepted at the InnSuites room 404 commencing on February 1st for Early Preview. The latest a consignment will be physically accepted 12:00 Noon on February 5th.

Re: [meteorite-list] First meteorite
Well here's my story, My first real meteorite was meteorite oxide glued to a card from Meteor(ite) Crater in the mid 60's. Yes I still have this and in my display. Then later in the 70's I went back to the crater and figured I could buy an unoxidized iron meteorite. When I asked, it is as though I spoke a profanity. That material is reserved for scientific study and so forth. They DID have more oxide for sale and I bought the largest piece they had but was very disappointed with this. Like many on the list I have been an amateur astronomer most of my life. I was a founding member of our local astronomy society and built a major portion (quite literally) of our observatory which rests at a YMCA Camp in North Webster, Indiana. You can read more about this here: http://clubs.kconline.com/was/ I gave a talk on meteorites to our club which only stimulated me on the subject as there was little to be found on the subject at that time and yes the internet as we know it today was non-existent. I wanted to also buy a set of meteorites to show to the school kids when I did my astronomy talks in order to show them something from outer space. I bought my first real meteorites from the great and kind Robert Haag, an Allende with a window ground in to it, 15 grams, a Canyon Diablo about 100 grams and an Imilac stony-iron 38 gram slice, thus covering all the major groups somewhere in the mid 80's. Having the three major groups should be all that anyone should ever need, right? I took these to many many schools and would get them out as a side show to the the main talk on astronomy, no doubt inspiring many of the kids who got to see and hold my specimens. I didn't know much about these and decided I needed to know more in order to tell the kids I was showing them to more information. When I went to the library to find more material I took out the book Find a Fallen Star by H.H. Nininger (I later bought the book from Robert). This was the fuel that would light the already small burning fire. I read about the falls and finds and wanted more of the interesting meteorites I was reading about. I realized there were many sub classes that might be interesting to collect. I soon found out that they weren't cheap to collect (yes even back then, especially some of the rarer types. I bought a 2 gram Zagami from Robert Haag for $100/gram. I remember thinking boy am I nuts, but now what a bargain it was. I went to a number of shows in which I would occasionally see meteorites for sale and increased my collection but at a very un-cost effective rate. Surely there must me someone else selling these for less. I begin to check around trying to figure out who had meteorites at a better cost. I soon found David New and bought many new interesting specimens from him. I was like a kid in a candy store wanting dozens of his offerings. I also found Blaine Reed who was offering meteorite specimens for a unheard of low price and soon began buying a major portion of my collection from Blaine. Still with this new found sources I couldn't afford the meteorites I wanted at the rate I wanted to increase my collection. After attending some shows I decided that I could buy specimens and resale them for a fraction of what was being offered by some of the others out there. In some cases I could sell for 1/3 of the price. It was obvious to me that a bit of price gouging was going on. I made a display case and began to sell at some of the shows I had previously been a spectator. I sold my material rapidly when the customers found out there was a more cost effective source. I was well know to most of the people attending the shows I sold at so a trusted face was a big advantage. My competition in some cases tried to talk me into selling them for more as I was cutting my own throat. I would never cave in as I thought it is better to mark up a little and sell in quantity. The same competition latter on tried to say I was getting my specimens from illegal sources and the reason I could sell so low but in reality I was following them around at the same shows they bought their material from and so it was only a method to try ruin my reputation so they could sell high. Some on this list may remember the days of Compuserve and the astronomy forum. In this forum we generated a small group of meteorite affectionados and talked about meteorites in the very early 90's and on. At a time when the internet was not widely used and there was little information about meteorites we were offering information and provided files of information on the subject with pictures and so forth. A kind of pre meteorite list list. Later on we were given our own area to talk about the subject. I later got off Compuserve and on to the internet and don't know if that area is still in existence or not. My personal collation has grown by leaps and bounds. I like to collect specimens that are at least 100 grams in size. I do

Hullo again, Just a meteoritic memory that stays with me - I had seen meteorites at the Natural History museum in London village - we used to go often - and would sit astride the 1/2 ton Otumba Campo that is still there. When I was in primary school, say aged about 8, I remember very clearly a lad bringing in what he claimed was a meteorite (he had a spacy name tooSimon Saturn). I remember it clearly as a roughly triangular lump about an inch across and being very heavy (dense) and light and dark brownish - I was fascinated and 30 odd years later I am sure it was a Canyon Diablo - the image remained so clear to me over the intervening decades Nice how we can recall... -- In gentle decay, dave http://www.meteorites.ic24.net/index.html http://www.thc.u-net.com/davethc1.htm I have a proof that x^n+y^n=z^n never has integer solutions for n2.

With all the negative replies I got so far, I STILL INSIST it is a meteorite. -- Hi M and list, This is one of the most fascinating phenomena I run into as a meteorite dealer - People who find what they think is a meteorite REFUSE to believe otherwise! Fascinating! By the way, I NEVER state that my opinion is 100% I have seen MANY meteorites I would SWEAR weren't meteorites and many meteorwrongs I would have swarn WERE meteories. I ALWAYS send people to a meteorite lab. - and after all these years, I refuse to spend ANY time debating the issue with any of them. They are like bible thumpers at the door.

[meteorite-list] Re: suspected meteorite
Dear All; I was amazed how so many of you quickley gave me a negative reply. Actually maybe it is my mistake; the site (especially the gallery) was not working properly. And maybe I concentrated on the crystals and left out whole samples which looks more like what is avaialable in meteorite sites. With all the negative replies I got so far, I STILL INSIST it is a meteorite. It could not be anything terrestrial. Although I am not an expert in the field, but I am a physicist, PhD student in Cosmology, and during the last few months I visited almost all sites about meteorites and read a few books. I tried all pre-tests on these rocks and they passed. Only after that I put them on the internet. So how come most of you say these rocks do not look like meteorites at all!!! Again, maybe it is my mistake; the site is not informative enough. Please also excuse my poor English. However, I have updated the site today, and now the gallery should be working nicely. Please revisit the site if you are interested: http://pages.britishlibrary.net/mhy10/meteor/index.html Please also try to solve with me the fossil riddle; I know it is not possible to have such fossils in a meteorite but this is what I found. Do you also know what those white rocks might be. It also seems to me that I have more than one kind of meteorite, but all are from the same area. Is this possible?

[meteorite-list] My First Piece
I've always been into cool looking rocks for as long as I can remember. My collection of rocks got a little big by the time I was about 10 and my mum threw out some cause she thought I wouldn't notice! I DID! (The next day! After the rubbish had gone of course!) My favourite rock went. A black volcanic piece with a core of bright green crystals, which I found on a holiday. At least my softball sized piece of black scoria that floats like a tennis-ball didn't go! But then last year I got the internet and stumbled across Jim Strope's site. My first meteorites were 10g 28g Sikhote-Alin individuals. A somewhat classic start with a nice blackened/shinny iron I think?! Now I'm hooked for good I should think! Happy collecting for 2002 everyone! Jeff. http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo!

[meteorite-list] Storing thin sections?
Greetings all, I've sure been enjoying the thread on 'first meteorites.' I can't remember now who started it but thanks for a initiating a great idea we can all participate in. Now a question. Can anyone help me find a small box that holds thin section slides? I've come across a number of places that have slide containers but they are for the standard-size microscope slide. Ron Hartmann sells a 2-slide container which looks very nice but I'm looking for a container that might hold up to 25. Thanks very much for any leads.

[meteorite-list] meteorite fall rates, please, and first piece
Could someone give me a hand with approximations of the correct information for the following questions? Thanks in advance, -Robert Beauford : ) ps. On the topics of first pieces, mine was a meteorwrong found in Colorado when I was 8. I still have it. I don't remember when my first real meteorite came along. They were just another gemstone/mineral variety for many years until I read about the stony variety and understood the extent of the science that was possible in these wonderful rocks. I never was all that fascinated by the irons or tektites until I understood them in their context. Now I really appreciate them (but not as much as the chondrites). I actually bought small irons and tektites from many of you at Tucson when I did the show and dealt in gems, pearls, and anything else fascinating. That's been a few years, though, and I didn't know who any of you were. (Now that I want very much to meet you all face to face, I haven't had the opportunity to go back to Tucson.) My first chondrite, and the beginning of my passion for the subject, was a gift from a list member. I couldn't learn enough about it. I still spend a lot of time just trying to understand the science behind the subject (Reviews in Meneralogy v. 36 helps a lot.), but it's challenging to make headway from books alone. I really wish there was a meteoritics department or planetary science program closer to home or an extension studies coarse. I'd be working on my masters right now if there were. Thanks for sharing all of your first meteorite stories! Again, any help with the questions below would be most sincerely appreciated. -Robert Beauford : ) Questions What proportion of visible meteors, or shooting stars, results in a meteorite being left on the ground? Would it be accurate to say far less than 1 in 1(??) 1 object over 10 grams falls per (how many square miles) per year. An object over 1 kilo (2.2 lbs) might fall in a given 1 square mile piece of land only once in every (how many) years? Even very broad estimates will be fine, as long as they communicate something about the rate of falls.

[meteorite-list] My First Meteorite
Greetings List, I don't think I've seen so many members respond to one thread as I have this most recent one. My first specimen was purchased from Al Mitterling, a 40 gram slice of Gibeon, which I of course still have. Al and I live equidistant from the small town of Hamlet, In (the site of a fall in 1959) and he agreed to meet me there to show me my first meteorites. I was quite impressed that a guy I didn't even know would go to all this trouble just because I expressed an interest in space rocks. I got his name from the list of dealers in O.R. Norton's Rocks from Space. I was immediately mesmerized by being able to hold in my hand an object that had come from out there and then burning through out atmosphere to finally end up in MY hand. A rush I still get every time I touch one of these marvelous pieces of our Solar System. My collection has grown to around 90 specimens and I, as many of you have, started collecting thin sections. A whole new world of fascination! My thanks to Al again for the time he took and since has taken to answer questions for me, show me new specimens, check out my meteor-wrongs, as well as selling me a few fine specimens at the most reasonable prices I have yet to find.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: suspected meteorite
It would seem that your website is STILL not working. My advise to you is to stop drinking your own bathwater...LISTEN to what the very knowledgable people on this list are telling you. Your assumptions that High Pressures and High Temperatures are foolish...the EARTH is the perfect place for such conditionsjust ask any diamond. ONLY Proper ANALYSIS can determine if any rock is a meteorite, not the silly assumptions you are making. I am the fartherest thing from an expert on this list but I do know better.

Last chance! I have only twelve (12) slots remaining for consignments for the Second Annual Meteorite Auction at the InnSuites in Tucson on Sunday, February 10th. If you wish to make a consignment, please get in touch QUICKLY! Further exciting news: --We have snagged auctioneer Claudia Florian--a former auctioneer for Phillips Sothebys--to run this sale; --The advertisement in the current issue of Smithsonian has already resulted in dozens of catalog requests! --Meteorites confirmed to be offered include, L'Aigle, NWA482, Camel Donga, Manych, GV, Steinbach, Chassigny, Barbotan, Mauerkirchen, Ensisheim, Shalka, Felix, etc. --Once again, if you are an exhibitor at the Arizona Mineral Fossil Show, you are entitled to consign one lot without having to pay a consignor's fee (courtesy of the Macovich Collection and the Great Zinn). The Event: The InnSuites Meteorite Auction Date: Sunday, February 10th 10.30 AM Location: InnSuites, Tucson / Poolside Early Registration/Preview: February 1-9 - 10.00AM - 6.00PM Day-of Registration/Preview: February 10 - 9.30-10.30AM Number of lots: 100 Targeted price point: $200 to $25,000 Lots with no reserve: ~40% Consignor's fee: 10.0% Buyer's fee: 12.5% Limit per consignor: 4 lots Sell-through fee: 3% Insurance (if desired): 1% QUESTIONS: Why should I consider consigning a meteorite to this sale? 1. Guaranteed Interest. This offering will be heavily promoted. We are also building on an outstanding buzz from last year's sale. Further, a number of outstanding meteorites will be offered with NO RESERVES; 2. Marketing commitment. $4000 in dedicated advertising will be spent publicizing this event; 3. Location. Host to one of Tucson's preeminent shows, the InnSuites is centrally located and is indisputably Meteorite Central in Tucson; Where do I sign up? Right here. Please fill-in the following info. A formal consignment form will be sent to you provided that your property is accepted for this auction. [My interest is only in creating a marketplace for fine meteorites that are priced to sell, and to present this property to a crowd that is eager to participate in an auction filled with such opportunities.] Name Street Address Apartment or Suite City State Zip Daytime phone Evening phone Email Description of each proposed consignment: --Slice or End or Complete or Fragment --No crust or ~25%, ~50%, ~75% or 95+% crust --Condition and extent of weathering Measurement (H x W x D): Weight: Provenance: Reserve: Will you be present at the auction? Can you explain what a reserve is? A reserve is the absolute lowest fee that consignors accept PRIOR to the deduction of the 10% consignor's fee. The reserve is not published in the catalog. However, consignments with reserves will be indicated in the catalog with a bullet (*). Why would I want a reserve? Reserves are used as a mechanism to protect the consignor so that an item will not sell for too low a price. However, should a consignment's estimated value be less than $300, no reserve will be allowed. What are estimated values? A guideline of what it is believed the consignment should bring at auction. Do you prefer consignments with either no reserve.or low reserves? Yes. Consignments with no reserves or modest reserves are far more likely to result in a successful sale. Can I insist on a high reserve? No. If the reserve you wish to set is, in my estimation, too high, I will refuse the consignment. The philosophy of this sale is to offer choice merchandise that is attractively priced, which will result in a spirited marketplace. Are high reserves the only consideration in rejecting a consignment? No. If I believe the consignment competes with too many other similar consignments, it will be rejected. Consignments will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. As a consignor to the InnSuites auction, how much will this cost me? If your consignment sells, your cost will be 10% of the hammer price (the highest bid). If your lot fails to sell, the sell-through fee (and insurance, if so desired) will result in a cost of either 3% or 4% (w/insurance) of the reserve price of the consignment. Are there deadlines to be a consignor? Yes. As a result of catalog deadlines (paper and cyber) the deadline will be whenever the twelve slots are filled...my guess is by Tuesday, January 8th. There will be a catalog? There will be printed listing available at the InnSuites room 404, as well as a page at Macovich.com. Is there a deadline for physically accepting consignments? Consignments will be
