[meteorite-list] Site redesigned and newsletter
Hello everyone. I hope this message finds you well. If you haven't been to the IMCA's website at www.meteoritecollectors.org since early Sunday morning I would like to invite you to come take a look at some of the changes that have been made. When I first got the site up and running the main concern was what was said on it and not really what it looked like. Well, with the help of some really great people the content was taken care of and now I've redesigned the website to reflect the professional level that the IMCA works at. If wanting to see the new look of the site isn't enough to check out the website then you can also go to see the first issue of "The Fusion Crust," the official newsletter of the IMCA that is editied by Martin Horejsi. So come on everyone, go check out the site and let me know what you think!

[meteorite-list] 2nd Largest Mars Meteorite Found By Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition
The meteorites referred to in this article are Y000593 and Y000749, the two nakhlites I reported on back in January. Ron Baalke http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/newse/20020310wo72.htm 2nd-biggest meteorite from Mars found by JARE Yomiuri Shimbun The Daily Yomiuri (Japan) March 9, 2002 A Japanese expedition team has found in the Antarctic what is believed to be the world's second-largest meteorite from Mars, the National Institute of Polar Research told The Yomiuri Shimbun on Saturday. The finding will be officially reported at a conference on the research of moons and planets to open Monday in the United States. So far, there have been a total of 27 cases of reported discoveries of Martian meterorites on Earth. According to the institute, the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) team collected a total of 3,550 meteorites from November 2000 through January 2001 around the Yamato Mountains, about 300 kilometers southwest of Showa Station, the JARE team's base, in the Antarctic. The institute and the Laboratory for Earthquake Chemistry at Tokyo University's graduate school of science studied the meteorites and concluded two of them came from Mars, because they contain silicate crystals and some kinds of gasses not found in rocks and stones on Earth. One of them weighs 13.7 kilograms and is considered the second-largest Martian meteorite found on Earth after one discovered in Zagami, Nigeria, in 1962, which weighs 18 kilograms, the scientists said. Its surface is covered with a black igneous layer, but underneath it is dark green, they said. The other one weighs only 1.3 kilograms. They were found on different dates and are believed to have fallen to Earth separately. Some of the minerals contained in the meteorites also show traces of changes apparently resulting from exposure to water, suggesting the possibility that Mars had large seas, according to the scientists. An analysis of the very small amount of gases in the meteorites shows that the meteorites were ejected into space 8.7 million to 13 million years ago. The scientists are hoping to find more in the meteorites, including gases of the atmosphere of Mars and underground Martian gases as well as traces of organic life. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] AWESOME NEW FALL
Looks like I goofed about what I thought that my meteorites that I showed a photo of to everybody yesterday was. I got about 5 kilos of new meteorites a couple days ago and those two killer looking meteorites looked similar to a very unusual eucrite that I saw a while back and I suspected that they were paired but at the time I never had one to compare mine to. But today I got to compare my new meteorite to the eucrite and the broken surface indeed does look almost identical, the same whitish/greyesh colour, and similar shock veins and large for its size which probably means low metal content. But the crust on mine was nicer and fresher (My two meteorites looks like they fell yesterday) and the magnetic qualities of mine is slightly more than the eucrite (My powerful rare earth magnets will stick to it but if you wiggle the meteorite a little they fall off so my meteorite is a bit magnetic but only lightly). There are gold coloured inclusions on it to that is in my opinion very unusual. I felt bad about wanting to cut them to see the cut surface because they are just so nice whole. After talking to my partners in Morocco earlier today I have finally figured out what I have here. I dont know the classification or anything but there is a reason why my two meteorites look like they fell yesterday. They basically did. There was a new fall in Morocco a few weeks ago and this meteorite is a part of it. I guess that it could be a LL given the magnetic qualities but I have never seen a LL with this colour and it doesnt apear to have chrondrules sticking out and it has those gold inclusions. But I guess that it could be a LL, Eucrite or anything else until it gets classified. What it is is now anybodys guess. Either way, this is one killer looking meteorite. I love these two meteorites to death. Looks like my webpage crashed for a while today but my photos are working again now. See here: http://www.meteoriteshop.com/MAR-NWA.htm This is a great meteorite fall and I will give more details as I get them. Hope that somebody likes my photos anyway.

If that's the case, he's even dumber than we have given him credit for thus far. Those teeth would make 20 auctions and at $2.99 each comes to $59.80. Subtact his price paid and it's $52.30. Subtract 20 ebay insertion fees and it's $46. The fastest auction time is 3 days so.2 months profit ~$46. That's 3 cents an hour minus eBay final value and PayPal fees, well done geo-paleo-dude!

Hi Tracy and list, It will be interesting to see the response to your query. Meanwhile... Interesting to see the other auctions of this persongeopaleo guy. geopaleo guy apparently bought 100 Morocco fossil shark teeth from Paleoguy from an Ebay auction dated 1/22/02 and won the auction for $7.50. geopaleo guy is currently selling on Ebay, five of those fossil shark teeth with an opening bid of $2.99.

[meteorite-list] AD - another eBay plug
Hi fellow meteorite enthusiasts, You know, I never did this before, and therefore my eBay plug isn't that shameless - at least not to me (blush). However, I'd like to direct your kind attention towards some of my auctions that will be ending during the next days. Have a look at: http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=ivuna&inclu de=0&since=-1&sort=2&rows=25 Or do a search for "ivuna"; that's my eBay ID. There are still some bargains, such as some slices of DaG 180, one of the only two LL3.9's listed in the Catalogue. Some of them are still at $1 without reserve. Other highlights are the ungrouped 3.5 type chondrite HaH 180, Ensisheim, the lunar Dhofar 026, and some R3.9's that start at just $25/g (and haven't received any bids, yet). Take a chance, or simply enjoy the pictures. Best, Norbert Classen aka "ivuna" IMCA #7606 __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] New stuff from Mark Bostick
Hi Graham, If you have any "H" type chondrites in your collection there is a good chance they come from Asteroid Hebe. Thought you might want to add another asteroid to the collection. A good source of reading to find out where they think certain parent bodies of our meteorites come from is "Meteorites and Their Parent Planets" by Harry Y McSween Jr. All my best! --AL __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Great Lakes Meteorite
Hi Jamie, I could have a field day with this but will comment on one of the wrong ideas. He states that the largest pieces fell first and the smaller pieces "shot gunned" further across the state. In fact the larger pieces are found further in the ellipse of travel and the smaller pieces come down first (sorta a law of physics). I did note the asteroid pictured had the aft burner on.

[meteorite-list] Huss collection numbers
Hello! A meteorite related post this time I have just acquired a Monnig Toluca courtesy of Mr R. Elliott, Laird of Balgonie! I have noticed that the handwriting, format and paint colour of the Monnig number looks ever so similar to my ex-Huss Boxhole. Coincidence? Or did Glen Huss get the sable brush out on both his collection and Monnig's?
