Dear List; I found few rocks that look all composed of Olivine,, and I have read before that Olivine is rarely found in large sizes. I have measured its specific gravity and found it to be around 3.3 (Olivine: 3.2), its hardness and also its color is close to Olivine. Some rocks have very thin fusion crust.

Re: [meteorite-list] Other on Eagle Butte
The seller has tried to trade some with me. I agreed telling him I do not think they are meteorites. While I am in Mexico right now my brother has informed me the package arrived. When I get home I plan to send them to someone that can do the proper testing. According to the seller they came from the crater rim and all the land is privatly owned. The land owners will not let anyone investigate the stones so give me a couple months and maybe I can provide more information.

[meteorite-list] The Rocks of Mars
Hello Listees, Martians, Nakhla Dogs (dead or alive :-) Just a quick heads-up! All of us will probably have read or have heard of: McSWEEN H.Y. Jr. (1994) What we have learned about Mars from SNC meteorites (Invited Review in Meteoritics 29-6, 1994 November pp. 757-779). And now, there is another epochal paper by H.Y. McSween after his in-depth, comprehensive treatise on SNCs in 1994. More than 14 pages, 4 pages of references, numerous figures + 1 table: McSWEEN H.Y. Jr. (2002) The Leonard Medal Address: The rocks of Mars, from far and near (MAPS 37-1, 2002, pp. 007-025). Here is a breakdown of the contents: - Abstract - Introduction - Age and structure of the Martian crust: Geologic Context - Is SNC sampling chronologically representative? - Volume of the crust from Martian meteorites - Composition of the Martian Crust: Geologic Context - Composition of the Crust from Martian Meteorites - Magmatic processes that affected SNC meteorites - Composition and dynamics of the Martian interior: Geologic Context - Mantle and core compositions from Martian meteorites - Mantle and core evolution and dynamics from Martian meteorites - Mars degassing, hydrogeology, and weathering: Geologic Context - Volatile inventory and degassing from Martian meteorites - Fluid-rock interactions in Martian meteorites - Summary - References Cheers, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Is This All Olivine
Mohamed I'm not sure what you mean by the word large as in Olivine is rarely found in large sizes but in ultramafic rock exposures (some classic localities in Oman, by the way) we can find pure unserpentinized olivine in masses the size of the Hoba meteorite (60 tons) and larger. We find entire mountains of serpentinized to somewhat serpentinized olivine. So, the presence of olivine would not be diagnostic of a meteoritic origin. Isotopic (and other chemical) analyses would be diagnostic.

Re: [meteorite-list] Other on Eagle Butte
There seem to be a lot of these Eagle Butte Meteorites running around on Ebay these days. I bought one of the first ones from someone whose handle is geopaleo_guy; I used Buy It Now, which in retrospect might have been a mistake :-P got too overeager. Someone probably made a pilgrimage up to the area, might even have been a legitimate meteorite lover, found a pile of slag or tailings and thought they had hit the mother lode. Brought back a couple dozen pounds and started sharing the wealth. As soon as I get my (probable) meteorwrong, if anyone wants to use it for testing, let me know and I'll be happy to send it on. Of course, it it turns out to be real, I'll expect the remnants back g Tracy Latimer --having some serious doubts-- On Fri, 15 Feb 2002, MARK BOSTICK wrote: The seller has tried to trade some with me.

Hi Matt and list: Matt; That is a VERY generous thing for you and your partners to do! I am sure the tribe will appreciate the offer very much. After reading what is available on the topic, I think that the AMNH could/might donate a piece. That was a sizable chunk (28 pounds? I believe I read) that they traded for the martian material...might not be a bad gesture to let the indians have a pound or two (Although they have no claim to any at all). anyway; VERY NICE that you all are making the offer!
