Steve if you had such reseacrh on Plymouth my goodness some type type of compesation would need to be given to you. Have you ever heard of the Chesapeake the billion dollar gold treasure ship? The research was so good that they literally dropped the anchor on the ship the first day looking for it. Thousands of hours and millions of dollars were saved all due to research. I would like to talk to my associate and see what we can offer you in return for your research.

[meteorite-list] Terresterial VS. way out there testing
Dear Listees; How far from being a qualified meteorite testing lab is a good quality soils, water, and air testing lab. Lab has numerous gas chromatography, organics and inorganics, trace element testing equipt. microscopes, and some thin section equipment? Lab doesn't have experience with meteorites. Would this be the limiting factor, or is there much more to the picture? Lab is fully accredited and has been around quite a while (20 years). Any opinions are welcome.

[meteorite-list] bubbly tektites
Hello Astro list and meteorite list, I discovered a few months ago as I was examining my tektite collection that one of the regular $5.00 pieces that you get from rock shops (indochinite?) has a bubble in it. The bubble is about 1 mm indiameter. Is a bubble like this rare? The tektite is an odd looking thing with huge pits (big enough to stick your finger in) on one side, and a light frothy texture on the other side. I have heard of bubbles in tektites before in an article I read somewhere. It said that the bubbles contain rarified ordinary air. If I remember correctly, this is believed to have resulted from the tektites forming in a column of low pressure air trailing the impacting meteorite. But wouldn't the low pressure air trailing the meteorite be dragged down from the upper atmosphere which has a different composition? I came up with a crazy alternative theory (I come up with a lot of these, too much spare time) that may eliminate this problem: In grade four, my teacher gave a science demonstration. She placed a metal container onto a hot plate, this heated the container and the air inside. Then she but a lid on the container and removed it from the heat source. As the air cooled it contracted, resulting in a lower pressure, the container collapsed. So, if a tektite solidified, somewhere under 2000 degrees, with a bubble in it, the air in the bubble would be at about 2000 degrees. Once the tektite solidified the air would be trapped in a bubble whose volume could no longer change. The air would still be at about 1500 degrees and when it cooled it would contract resulting in a low pressure within the bubble. Am I on to something or am I just crazy?

Re: [meteorite-list] Good v.Bad
I was touched to read members' Steve Sach's words of regret, words that aren't easy for any of us to write under any circumstances. My warm, fuzzy feeling was nuked by the message I just received from Ron Baalke and I'm reminded of why people are cynical about their government and, in a general sense, how hateful some people are, and why one can grow to mistrust and lose all respect for others. Ron had privately sent me a change yesterday to the language surrounding the Nakhla dog on the website he administers for NASA. He offered two different versions for my review. One was the status quo and totally unacceptable to me, the other was less ambiguous and I suggested changing a couple of words. He replied back yesterday with a version that was accurate and acceptable, a version he marked- Better. This was followed by the same unacceptable version from the day before now marked I like this even better. I agreed to his, HIS, version #1 marked Better, thanked him for his efforts, and mentioned that this peaceful settlement should be announced to you, the m-list for closure. I have just received a response from Ron. He's refusing to accept HIS OWN version of the story that I agreed with. The message reads in part, Like I said, I like this even better, followed by the version I'd refused twice. His message ends, I already changed the phrasing a week ago anyway. Ron has never offered a shred of meaningful proof that the dog existed, and I have in my files copies of support for my take on the dog from the most senior and academic members of this list and from the world's great meteoriticists. I'm honored by their interest. As for the dog, the story should and will exist as a story, but it's scientifically dead. I won't waste my time in the future entertaining the vacuous imaginations of such an arrogant and duplicitous person as Ron Baalke.

Nakhla dog on the website he administers for NASA. He offered two different versions for my review. One was the status quo and totally unacceptable to me, the other was less ambiguous and I suggested changing a couple of words. I've have this on my website A rain of 40 stones fell from the sky in 1911 near Nakhla in Egypt. The falls were preceded by an appearance of a cloud and detonations, frightening local residents. There is an eyewitness account that one of the fragments hit a dog. Attempts to authenticate the dog story have been inconclusive thus far. The stones from this meteorite fall ranged in size from 20g to 1813g, and it is estimated a total weight of 10kg (22 pounds) had fallen. Kevin finds these statements unacceptable. He is entitled to his opinion. These statements are accurate, concise and to the point. I see no reason to change them.

Ron Baalke Hi Folks, If someone is going to start counting votes, mark me down a yes - Ron's statement on his website is acceptable. I'm sure that many of you will agree, that even though the attempt to authenticate the dog story is inconclusive at this point, we can accept the idea that it may become conclusive at some point in the future. Sounds fair to me.

Would this be the limiting factor, or is there much more to the picture? Lab is fully accredited and has been around quite a while (20 years). Any opinions are welcome. Hello Dave and list A year or so ago I found a web site that did electron microprobe analyses on mineral specimens for mining companies. I considered contacting them, but before I did I talked with Dr. David Kring, LPL, about what it would take to be an accepted classifier of meteorites. He found it very doubtful that the company I found would be qualified even if they were willing. Basically they would have to do classifications for a while and their data would have to be checked to ensure it was correctly done and interpreted. So you would need an accredited lab that would verify their classifications and vouch for their ability to get them correct. I believe Marvin Kilgore did this so he could classify material. As I recall Dr Kring's problem with the company I mentioned to him was that the high through put of analyses and the lower accuracy required for mining data would make it doubtful that they would able to meet the requirements of meteorite classification. The other problem is knowledge of meteorites and their classifications. According to Dr Kring there was a paper published which gave the differences in the H, L, and LL ordinary chondrites. I think it was by Rubin but I am not sure. Maybe Bernd can tell us. However there is no similar source of comparison for anything else. So there is no readily available logic tree that says if it meets a, b, j, and x it is a winonite. That makes it difficult for someone without a meteorite background to just jump into classification. A logic tree sounds like a good publishable paper to me if anybody is interested. In short, having the right equipment isn't the whole solution and may actually be the easiest part to accomplish.

Maybe it is this paper by Rubin: RUBIN A.E. (1990) Kamacite and olivine in ordinary chondrites: Intergroup and intragroup relationships (GCA 54, 1217-1232). In this paper Rubin gives ranges in mol%Fa and %Co in kamacite for H, L, and LL chondrites. Jeff should have more about that.

NEWS RELEASE ARIZONA UNKNOWN TO GENERAL PUBLIC. I sent this out to 5 Arizona Newspapers. Maybe someone in the community would like to take advantage of this before the general public does.Will the papers print? I can't say but NEWS RELEASE Dear Editor, Meteorites are worth anywhere from % cents a gram to thousands of dollars per gram. Enclosed is information that will make a great story and lead to the possible recovery of a lost meteorite. Worth thousands upon thousands of dollars. From Find A Falling Star Harvey Nininger page 127 There were so many tantalizing reports, and one of the most intriguing and convincing was a tale told to me in Prescott Arizona about 1940. I had gone into a bar on one of my customary tours of community hangouts seeking likely individuals with likely stories. I laid a nickel-iron meteorite on the bar beside a man who was drinking a bottle of beer. He looked it over carefully. Are they worth anything? I told him they were. He stood, looking past me for a moment, as if gathering details out of his memory. then he pointed to the cigarer vending machine. I found one as big as that machine one time, but it's been fifteen years ago. He stroked the little specimen before him on the counter. It was iron just like that, and had dents in it just like that, and when I hit it with my hammer it sounded just like an anvil. I know it was the very same thing. He had been a surveyor at the time and was running a line for the government. He told me what line it was. They came to a ravine they couldn't cross and he had gone south about a quarter mile to where it could be negotiated-and there in the ditch was this great hunk of iron. Neither he nor I had the time or money to make a ten day trip to the spot at the time, and I never was able to contact him again. Somehow I lost the notes I scribbled down, including the man's name. I had fully intended to follow up this lead, having him guide me to the spot. The territory in which he was working is seldom visited by anyone except deer hunters, and it may be a hundred years before another man see that great iron-if it really exists. Of all the hundred of reports I investigated in my years of meteorite hunting, more than a hundred yielded meteorites, and the other hundreds were dud. Few of the productive tales were more convincing than this man's reports. It is my believe he had found Arizona's finest meteorite. CONCLUSIONS The line was a Government line not a state line. the surveyor was working for the Government. The line must be very long. Needed 1o days 1 day driving 2 days walking line 6 days pulling out meteorite and 1 day going home. Nininger did not recall he would have to deal with an Indian council. Public hunting was allowed in the area. Do the Indians allow the general public to hunt their land? Go to www.arizonaroads.com/maps/ and look at the 1927 Arizona highway map. The only Government lines arew Indian reservations and the Grand canyon.

[meteorite-list] My take on Nakhla
Hi Ron and List, Regarding the Nakhla re-wording: A rain of 40 stones fell from the sky in 1911 near Nakhla in Egypt. The falls were preceded by an appearance of a cloud and detonations, frightening local residents. There is an eyewitness account that one of the fragments hit a dog. Attempts to authenticate the dog story have been inconclusive thus far. Given what I've read of the debate over the years, and the lack of living witnesses, I cannot imagine a scenario under which that last statement will ever change. Of course, that doesn't rule out the possibility that some new information may surface months or years down the road; it's just that I can't see how any such new data would enhance the currently dubious authenticity. As with the argument for life on Mars, extraordinary claims require accordingly extraordinary evidence. I think it would be more accurate to say, Unfortunately, the story cannot be authenticated as there were no corroborating witnesses, nor compelling physical evidence. The term eyewitness account also carries special legal meaning today -- with requirements that were obviously not met at the time. While Ron probably did not intend this particular legal connotation, but rather the spirit of the phrase (i.e. a man told someone else that he saw a meteorite hit a dog), eyewitness account is a somewhat misleading substitute for hearsay. Perhaps the most useful (and rewarding) thing that could be done at this point would be to go to Denshal (I didn't say it would be cheap!) and find a Nakhla meteorite there. It wouldn't add much in the way of proof as far as the dog story goes, but it ~would~ greatly extend the accepted length of the strewnfield. Even if you don't find a ~Nakhla~ meteorite, given the desert location your chances are quite good that you'll find other meteorites while searching. --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

RE: [meteorite-list] News Release Arizona
Something tells me you're not exactly the first person in Arizona to go looking for meteorites or even offering rewards for them... Rhett Bourland www.asteroidmodels.com www.asteroidmodels.com/personal www.meteoritecollectors.org -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rick Nowak Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 4:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] News Release Arizona NEWS RELEASE ARIZONA UNKNOWN TO GENERAL PUBLIC. I sent this out to 5 Arizona Newspapers. Maybe someone in the community would like to take advantage of this before the general public does.Will the papers print? I can't say but NEWS RELEASE Dear Editor, Meteorites are worth anywhere from % cents a gram to thousands of dollars per gram. Enclosed is information that will make a great story and lead to the possible recovery of a lost meteorite. Worth thousands upon thousands of dollars. From Find A Falling Star Harvey Nininger page 127 There were so many tantalizing reports, and one of the most intriguing and convincing was a tale told to me in Prescott Arizona about 1940. I had gone into a bar on one of my customary tours of community hangouts seeking likely individuals with likely stories. I laid a nickel-iron meteorite on the bar beside a man who was drinking a bottle of beer. He looked it over carefully. Are they worth anything? I told him they were. He stood, looking past me for a moment, as if gathering details out of his memory. then he pointed to the cigarer vending machine. I found one as big as that machine one time, but it's been fifteen years ago. He stroked the little specimen before him on the counter. It was iron just like that, and had dents in it just like that, and when I hit it with my hammer it sounded just like an anvil. I know it was the very same thing. He had been a surveyor at the time and was running a line for the government. He told me what line it was. They came to a ravine they couldn't cross and he had gone south about a quarter mile to where it could be negotiated-and there in the ditch was this great hunk of iron. Neither he nor I had the time or money to make a ten day trip to the spot at the time, and I never was able to contact him again. Somehow I lost the notes I scribbled down, including the man's name. I had fully intended to follow up this lead, having him guide me to the spot. The territory in which he was working is seldom visited by anyone except deer hunters, and it may be a hundred years before another man see that great iron-if it really exists. Of all the hundred of reports I investigated in my years of meteorite hunting, more than a hundred yielded meteorites, and the other hundreds were dud. Few of the productive tales were more convincing than this man's reports. It is my believe he had found Arizona's finest meteorite. CONCLUSIONS The line was a Government line not a state line. the surveyor was working for the Government. The line must be very long. Needed 1o days 1 day driving 2 days walking line 6 days pulling out meteorite and 1 day going home. Nininger did not recall he would have to deal with an Indian council. Public hunting was allowed in the area. Do the Indians allow the general public to hunt their land? Go to www.arizonaroads.com/maps/ and look at the 1927 Arizona highway map. The only Government lines arew Indian reservations and the Grand canyon. The surveyor said 16 years ago 1940 minus 15 equals 1925 FOCUS should be on the North line of the Grand Canyon running East and West during the year of 1925 and not the modern day lines Best of success to all Rick __ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [meteorite-list] My take on Nakhla
Matson, Robert wrote: Hi Ron and List, Regarding the Nakhla re-wording: A rain of 40 stones fell from the sky in 1911 near Nakhla in Egypt. The falls were preceded by an appearance of a cloud and detonations, frightening local residents. There is an eyewitness account that one of the fragments hit a dog. Attempts to authenticate the dog story have been inconclusive thus far. I think that removing the most sensational portion of this story, that the dog was actually killed by the meteorite, renders the story more believable. By contrast, knowing the full story makes me more apt to disbelieve the whole dog event ever happened at all.

---BeginMessage--- Steve Thank you very much for your letter. Where allowed to make mistakes and we all should have a place for understanding and forgivness. And when a person goes out of their way like you have you can only admire them more. Steve if you had such reseacrh on Plymouth my goodness some type type of compesation would need to be given to you. Have you ever heard of the Chesapeake the billion dollar gold treasure ship? The research was so good that they literally dropped the anchor on the ship the first day looking for it. Thousands of hours and millions of dollars were saved all due to research. I would like to talk to my associate and see what we can offer you in return for your research. Sometimes thou all the research in the world can be futile and just plain back breaking foot by foot work needs to be done. __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

[meteorite-list] Why is the sky blue?
A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Re: [meteorite-list] My take on Nakhla
In a message dated 1/25/2002 4:31:49 PM Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Perhaps the most useful (and rewarding) thing that could be done at this point would be to go to Denshal (I didn't say it would be cheap!) and find a Nakhla meteorite there. It wouldn't add much in the way of proof as far as the dog story goes, but it ~would~ greatly extend the accepted length of the strewnfield. Even if you don't find a ~Nakhla~ meteorite, given the desert location your chances are quite good that you'll find other meteorites while searching. Direct quote from Alain Carion: "I have tried to find the exact impact site but some 50cm of the top-soil has been removed in that area to be spread on the desert and fertilize it".
