I guess we can say that Dean has vented, a fact dean bessey wrote: Richard Roland Pelisson - SaharaMet wrote: (1)to discuss about serious meteorite prospecting work and results on this mailing. and (2)it seems that only NWA business is welcome Would you mind telling us exactly what it is that you are trying to imply with these two comments? I read it as you are doing serious scientific work and are out into the Sahara to collect scientific data like a NASA scientists who has to give all of the meteorites that he finds to the government would do (Since he would be there on a government paid research assignment and getting a salary at the same time). And its not to earn money so that you dont end up living in the streets in some slum area of paris with the local junkies and that the rest of us are raping and plundering the sahara. But I am sure that that is not what you ment. DEAN _ You dont have to go to NASA to get a Rock from outer space. Or even from the Planet Mars or the Moon.

Re: [meteorite-list] Gold Basin
Hi Rhett and all, Recently while cutting some Dimmitt slices I ran into a CM inclusion. It spanned four slices! This measured 13 mm by 12 mm by about 16 mm long. I asked Dr. Rubin if he would be interested in the piece and he is interested in seeing a thinsection of it. I'll send a picture file to someone who can post it on their web site for all to see (Rhett?). This is truly an awesome piece and one of the reasons I think that Dimmitt is one of the most over looked interesting meteorites of all times. --AL __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Looks like sandstone with a rind of desert varnish to me.

AW: [meteorite-list] Is This Lunar?
Hi Mohamed, You're getting closer to what a meteorite should look like. However, I think you just found another typical example of a meteorwrong. The "fusion crust" seems to be desert varnish, so I doubt that this rock has ever been in space. Sorry, but I don't think that it's a meteorite at all. Don't feel too bad, though. Very few people had the luck to find a lunar meteorite so far. Just imagine the following: More than 25,000 meteorites have been recognized up to this day, and just about 25 have proven to be of lunar origin. That's just about one of thousand...

Re: [meteorite-list] Is This Lunar?
Looks like sandstone. We got something like that around in Michigan water coast. I don¹t know where you found it. It looks like a clay-sand mixed covered with dirt or mud, correct me if this isnt like any sandstone.

Re: [meteorite-list] Is This Lunar?
WHAT A CLOWN ! Come on Pal. Why dont' you go bother some other list. I think there is a pie-in-the-sky-dreamers group that you would fit in with just fine. What makes you think that everytime you walk out of your house the first rock you find is not only a meteorite but it is a Lunar Meteorite? Go play the lottery, you havea better chance.

[meteorite-list] Floating Fireball Over Texas Caught On Video
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/010702_news_ufo.html UFO sighting? Mystery object caught on tape A Pearland resident with a video camera caught the mysterious object on tape. By Don Nelson ABC 13 Eyewitness News (Houston, Texas) (1/7/02) - Some Pearland residents are still scratching their heads after spotting a strange object in the sky on Sunday. But was it a UFO? There is a mystery unfolding in Pearland. But it may be a while before this one involving a fire in the sky is solved. Rocky Flint captured images Sunday afternoon with his video recorder in Pearland. It appears to be a burning object in the sky. His wife, Cynthia, says it was hard to miss. Cynthia Flint/Pearland Resident: It resembled a floating fireball. The fiery ball appears to remain stationary for several minutes before moving downward and then disappearing. Flint says she had no idea what she was witnessing. Cynthia Flint/Pearland Resident: There's nothing to describe what it was. It's so unique and so different. I've never in my whole life seen anything like it. Eyewitness News made calls to both airports and neither one could shed any light on the mystery. The Brazoria county sheriff's department also received some calls, but they couldn't find anything. Flint's husband has his own theory. Cynthia Flint/Pearland Resident: He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He said that it looked like a UFO. We made another call to NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command. They also failed to provide answers. Rocky Flint/On amateur video: It's still here, baby. And they see us. Before Sunday, Mrs. Flint didn't believe in UFO's. Cynthia Flint/Pearland Resident: I'm not a big believer of them. But I can't describe what I saw up there, either. Several other phone calls from viewers who also saw some type of fire in the sky came into the newsroom on Sunday. But right now, we still aren't exactly sure what it was. Stay tuned... __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
