Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorites and
Kids
Hello Everyone,
I recently had the chance to talk about meteorites to six classes of third
grade students, something which I enjoy very much. If you have not done this
and you get the opportunity, I would encourage you to do so. It is really a
lot of fun. Let me share a few of my observations.
Kids love the big heavy irons, bring at least one but make sure it is a
solid piece. They can pass it around but if it is a rust flaky Nantan, for
example, they will manage to peel off some lose rust spots and it is kind of
embarrassing to the presenter. Also do not let them handle a Sikhote-Alin
shrapnel piece. Some shrapnel have VERY sharp edges which can easily cut small
hands, which would also be embarrassing to the presenter.
I like to bring a large piece of quartz crystal with me to make a nice
contrast between a nice fusion crusted stone and terrestrial rocks and
minerals. Some kids, though, will be as interested if not more
interested in the quartz.
The children were very much aware of the monetary value of meteorites. A
girl asked how much I would offer her if she found a meteorite from the moon
and I jokingly responded, "well, at least $10.00." The kids got the joke
because they knew it would be worth much more than that. A few kids focused
almost exclusively on the monetary value of meteorites ("how is that one
worth, etc.").
I bring along several books with nice pictures of meteorites to augment the
presentation and my homemade "Magnet on a Stick" (actually, a big dowel rod).
My wife teaches third grade language arts and in her class, a girl had brought
in her rock collection for me to examine to determine if any were meteorites.
For now, lets call her the "Rock Girl."
I talked about the properties of meteorites and I demonstrated they are
attracted to a magnet and earth rocks are not. There are some terrestrial
exceptions but I figured why complicate matters by pointing out the rare
exceptions. Rock girl brings a metallic looking rock towards me, I hold the
magnet on a stick out to her, she places it on the magnet and low and behold,
IT STICKS.
Silence fell over the room and the little girl had a grin that stretched
from ear to ear. Simultaneously, my eyes open, my mouth drops and I hurriedly
bring the object closer for inspection. After years of working with
meteorites, I immediately knew what it was...
Hematite :-(
Okay, now I back peddle a little and explain that there ARE some earth
rocks that kinda look like meteorites and will stick to a magnet and HEMATITE
is one (you can see an example of this great meteorwrong on my website). South
Georgia is not known for large quantities of hematite but I failed to ask her
immediately where she obtained her sample. My mistake.
A little while latter I show the kids three large perfectly formed
tektites: a dumbbell, a disk, and a teardrop. I explain the differences
between meteorites and tektites, I let the kids hold them, and all of a sudden
the Rock Girl says, "I have one of those." She pulls a black glassy object
from a box on her desk and hands it to me. I look at the top surface and
recognize it immediately...
It's a tektite!
Now, you have to understand my excitement at this point. The Georgia
Tektite strewn field is about four or five counties west of the school. As far
as I know, no Georgia tektite has ever been found in Bryan County, which is
where the little girl lives. I looked over at my wife and after seeing
literally dozens of kg of tektites even she recognized it as a probable
tektite. I began thinking that the Georgia strewn field has just now been
greatly extended when I turned it over and my heart sank.
The other side was very smooth and concave, as if it were once part of the
interior of a larger object and was part of a gas bubble.
It was a Chinese tektite. Exactly like my presentation pieces and exactly
like the dozens of kg I have sold in the past. I then asked the girl how she
obtained her rock collection and she showed me her collection box with nice
glossy printed cards. The tektite (and hematite) were part of a set that her
father had purchased. Unfortunately, there were no meteorites in the set but
she did have the beginnings of a very nice rock collection.
This reminded me that about four years ago, one boy brought me a glassy
object that looked like it might be a tektite. I sent it to Bill Glass but the
microprobe analysis showed that it was not.
I showed a large slice of Allende and I casually asked if anyone could tell
me waht the large white spots were. After only a few hints, a teacher
correctly
[meteorite-list] RE: Meteorites and kids
Walter, That was a wonderful, inspirational story. Thank you for sharing it with the list. I agree the kids really like the irons. Adults too. I've also found that people really enjoy a nice chondrite thin section like Allende in polarized light. The stained glass effect just takes them in. And while they're enjoying the sheer gorgeousness of the thing, I'll explain a bit about chondrules and the first solid stuff in the solar system. When someone's sense of wonder comes out it's so much easier to communicate a few facts about what they are seeing.

Remember, send only paper money like this (holds up money) , not change like this! (holds up change in other hand) O.K. Next time Mr. Mumhamed is going to take you to the place where he finds all his valuable meteorites. That's right, Boys and girls, we are going 'meteorite hunting.' But we don't go during the day! No, Mr. Mumhamed finds his best meteorites at night. Now, don't be afraid, there is nothing to worry about. We will have a good flashlight because it will be very, very late at night. We will visit all the Meteorite shops in the area. No, we are NOT going inside , we will go around back. The shops will all be closed. That is when we find the really, really, good meteorites.

Getting ready for the presentation, I laid the meteorites out on a metal side table which the teacher provided. Knowing that part of my talk was on how to identify meteorites from terrestrial rocks, I obviously bought along a rare earth magnet. A flash of genius struck ;-) Holding tightly, I carefully put my rare earth magnet on the metal table. (You probably know where I'm going). During the talk I asked young Billy to come up and help me demonstrate that meteorites were magnetic. It was his birthday and being a larger third grade boy made it all the better. I held a small Canyon Diablo iron and asked him to pick up the magnet and show the class how it stuck to the meteorite. Young Billy reached for the magnet and..obviously wasn't able to move it, try as he might. Both he and the class got a good laugh and the class paid even more attention than they might have. The third graders were a great age group to share our love of meteorites with. Their minds were sponges, soaking up every bit of knowledge there was, they were interested in and liked learning, and they were studying the solar system. A perfect audience. A few days later, I received a package containing letters from every one of the students. I still have them, and hopefully they also still have their small, weathered piece of the solar system (a great way to get rid of those small broken weathered NWA pieces). Regards, Frank P.S. I probably wouldn't use this trick on older students. They might actually get the magnet off the table than then pinch their finger between the magnet and table or meteorite. Coincidently, just the other day I was playing around with a couple of rare earth magnets and the result was a nice blood blister to show for it.

Re: [meteorite-list] Just a Question
Mohamed, May I suggest an explanation for your finding interesting rocks in an area you claim has none? Over the past 40 years, I've spent a lot of time collecting interesting rocks during my travels around the western United States. While out hiking or hunting, I've got a habit of picking up just about anything that looks interesting or out of place. As the day wears on and my pack gets heavier, I often reevaluate the effort it takes to carry some of the rocks and their value to me. Many of them are often discarded along the trail many miles from where I picked them up. Here's an even better example. I have a good friend who collected a trailer full of coprolite specimens near Lake Powell (Utah) about 12 years ago. On his way home, one of the wheel hubs on his trailer broke while he was still on a rugged dirt road and about 50 miles away from the collection site. Not wanting someone to steal his coprolite while he went for repair parts, he hid his load of coprolite in a ravine a short distance off the road. Several days later, when he returned with the parts, he found someone had stolen his trailer. Now he had no way to haul away his precious cargo of coprolite. As far as both of us know, the pile of coprolite is still sitting in the ravine just waiting to be discovered by someone out walking in the area. Remember now, this pile of coprolite is 50 miles from the actual collection site and in a totally different geological area. Whoever finds it might jump to the conclusion that the site in the ravine is the actual place where it weathered out of the earth after 65 million year. Their ignorance could allow them to make an incorrect assumption. Who knows, they might even have a good enough imagination to decide they fell from the sky. There are a lot of different scenarios that can result in rocks being found in places where they normally shouldn't be. Many, like erosion, can be explained, but others cannot. Such is the case with your rocks. Just because you can't, or don't, understand how they got to where you found them, doesn't mean the only explanation is they fell out of the sky. I understand your enthusiasm. Please divert some of it into getting yourself educated about minerals and meteorites. Your time out in the field will become a lot more productive.

PUT DOWN THE PIPE BACK AWAY FROM THE HOOKA...Get some fresh air dude. Igneous rocks can be anywhere. Believe it or not the Earths crust was once molten, and it has changed a few times in say the last 4 BILLION YEARS. We have a Lake in ArizonaBartlett Lake...If you take a gold pan there and pan anywhere on the shore you will find TONS of Black Sand and rotted quartsz which is usually found with GOLD. IF you pan a little longer you will end up ounces and ounces of a fine GOLD Metal. Spend a whole day there and you could end up with a pound of the stuff. It LOOKS Like Gold, It is found in a Gold bearing region of the US, and is found in conjunction with rotted quartz and black sand...following your way of thinking IT MUST BE GOLD!!!

Dear Jim and all, I have enjoyed some of the posts to our residential believer: Mr. Mohamed. I appreciated the gentle caring responses many of the list extended to him - INITIALLY. HOWEVER, what I find MORE amazing than Mr. Mohamed's unyielding stubbornbelief that he is right and everyone else is wrong is that there are so many list members willing to continue to invest sincere effort in attempting to provide assistance in the form of information, referrals, etc. I find this as irrational as Mr. Mohamed, himself, as though he had not CLEARLY indicated, over and over and over, a total unwillingness to apply logic to this situation. What is it y'all don't get??? Do you all still talk for 20 minutes to unwanted phone solicitors? Do you still spend 3 hours discussing the bible with everyone who knocks on your door to sell you HIS/HER interpretation of God? When asked a question - by ANYONE - do you feel compelled to answer it? Amazing. On the other hand, I did enjoy Mr. Mohamed's Nieborhood. (I also still suspect it MAY be Michael Casper with some email relay getting all you good hearted people to dance like puppets while he laughs hysterically in his NY home! - Haven't any of you been called by Michael with an Italian accent posing as a rich Italian collector and wanting to buy meteorites from you? His accent is impecable.) I can hardly wait until tomorow (Sun) so I can spend 3 hrs trying to convince a bible thumping creationist who knocks on my door that just perhaps his view of reality might possibly be in errorbut then again, maybe not.

[meteorite-list] Eagle Butte - Anyone knows this meteorite?
Matteo and List, I was also curious about this Canadian Meteorite. The U of Calgary meteorite page (http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/cdnmeteorites/) does not mention Eagle Butte. Yet, there is an Eagle Butte crater in southern Alberta. Eagle Butte Alberta, Canada Lat. 49.70; Long: -110.58 Diam. (km): 19; Age (My): 65 +/- Sawatzky, H. B. ; Two probable late Cretaceous astroblemes in western Canada; Eagle Butte, Alberta and Dumas, Saskatchewan; Geophysics, v. 41n. 6, p. 1261-1271, 1976 I seriously doubt that these iron meteorites could survive since the late cretaceous unless very fortunate entombment (Lake Murray scenario) occurred after impact.

Dear Michael all, The only thing that I like about Mohamed is his enthusiasm, I would like to see his focus redirected to education instead of exercise wandering around collecting every rock he sees. Do you still spend 3 hours discussing the bible with everyone who knocks on your door to sell you HIS/HER interpretation of God? No I tell them to come back when they have scientific evidence then point to the no soliciters sign as I close the door. Do you all still talk for 20 minutes to unwanted phone solicitors?

I appreciated the gentle caring responses many of the list extended to him - INITIALLY. HOWEVER, what I find MORE amazing than Mr. Mohamed's unyielding stubbornbelief that he is right and everyone else is wrong is that there are so many list members willing to continue to invest sincere effort in attempting to provide assistance in the form of information, referrals, etc. I find this as irrational as Mr. Mohamed, himself, as though he had not CLEARLY indicated, over and over and over, a total unwillingness to apply logic to this situation. What is it y'all don't get??? Do you all still talk for 20 minutes to unwanted phone solicitors? Do you still spend 3 hours discussing the bible with everyone who knocks on your door to sell you HIS/HER interpretation of God?

His accent is impecable.)

RE: [meteorite-list] Export permits and African meteorites
Weird. I can't speak for everyone's experience with Dr. McCoy but I've had nothing but extremely pleasant interactions with him. I can understand the governments reluctance to deal with dessert meteorites. Let's face it, they're part of the government and have to follow all the laws and regulations that go with that. I don't really see it as locations vs. scientific value in this case. I'm sure quite a few scientists would probally love to get their hands on some of the amazing NWA's out there but due to the relations with some of the countries as well as lack of export permits just aren't allowed to work with them. As for myself, I love the desert rocks. I'd prefer to have a nice meteorite with a known location and all that stuff if they're available but that doesn't mean I don't love all my beautiful desert achondrites in my collection that I got for a fraction of the price that they would be if they had that known location.

RE: [meteorite-list] Meteorites and Creation
And how is it that you know that Adam and Eve were around 25? Also, following the rule that the simplest option must be the best, wouldn't it just be easier to say that the rock formed ~4.5 billion years ago instead of trying to come up with a way to explain how a rock could actually be much younger? This is reminding me of another thread where someone is trying to convince us all that they have found a cache of previously unknown types of meteorites. Sure, I guess it could be possible but it seems pretty safe to say a better explanation could be found by taking a cold, hard, and unbiased look at the evidence and reading what it says instead of looking at the evidence and trying to make it fit any preconceived notions.

Rhett, http://www.asteroidmodels.com/personal/humor/telemarketers.htm is GREAT! I liked some of your ideas almost as much as mailing BACK all junk mail that comes with a prepaid return envelope - When you get ads in your phone or utility bill, include them with the payment. Let the company throw it away. When you get those pre approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right? Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little envelopes! Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can send it back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! Never fail to return a no postage required envelope. Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all their junk back in the mail. It'll let us let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and best of all THEY'LL be paying for it! TWICE!! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again! __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Any reports of SONIC BOOMS in Texas???
Were there any reports of SONIC BOOMS in Texas? The following was extracted from: meteorobs-digest V4 #855 *** Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2002 17:23:21 -0500 From: Lew Gramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: (meteorobs) Fwd: Fireball(?), evening 31 Jan 2002, Houston TX USA Glad to hear you were fortunate enough to witness one of the many fire balls (both natural and manmade) that occur each night over our heads: These do happen all the time, but are still rarely seen or reported! Andy, while all the details are still fresh in your mind, please submit a report form to one of the astronomical organizations on what you saw? Here are a few to choose from. Just pick whichever ONE of these has the most questions you can answer readily and accurately - and thanks! http://www.namnmeteors.org/fireball/report.html http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/report.html http://www.imo.net/fireball/report.html Please note the exact time of your sighting is also considered critical.

Clear skies, Lew Gramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --- Forwarded Message To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fireball/Meteor? Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2002 15:37:48 -0600 From: Andy McConville [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone else reported the massive meteor which passed over Houston on Thursday evening (31st Jan 2002) ? Myself and 2 friends were in west Houston at about 9pm when we spotted the object travelling North-South almost from horizon to horizon. I guess it came from about 20 degrees high in the north to about 20 degrees in the south and it wasn't quite directly overhead, but high nonetheless. It was travelling very fast (faster than a low-flying jetplane but not as fast as a shooting star), covering the distance in about 4 or 5 seconds. It was bigger than any meteor that i've ever seen and was very bright with a bright tail, which didn't seem to fade or leave a trail and it was white with a slight greenish tinge in colour. The length of the tail decreased as it came towards the end of it's flightpath. My guess is that it was a large meteor skimming the atmosphere which would have done quite a bit of damage had it come down.

Iridium 27 decayed around 0530-0600UT Feb 1. Anyway the described motion isnt consistent with a satellite its much too fast. ANY re-entering object going nearly overhead and visible horizon-horizon will be visible for about a minute. Bright meteors are much more common than re-entering satellites.

[meteorite-list] The Holy Grail Meteorite
I recall Robert Haag would give away his whole meteorite collection to own the Holy Grail Meteorite I also recall him stating his collection was worth $25 million.The Holy Grail Meteorite is the one that would have life on it. Out of all the meteorites NASA's wanbe martian rock came the closet. I also think it was a circus stunt to get the public on the idea of going to Mars. Yet their is no life on any meteorites. Their never will be but if you like I will get Mohhamed going on this idea... __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

Their are about billion people who do not believe in the Evolution Religion the manifesto of the commmunists. When you say a meteorite is 8 billion years old we do not except it. Alot of people think a meteorite started life on Earth. We do not accept it. Alot of people see the universe as madness rather it is a grand design with laws done by a Creator. God created the heavens and their glory that means meteorites to. Everytime I see one I think of him. Keith is upset at me?
