Re: [meteorite-list] Unusually Large Tektites
Jay, Sorry for the late response. I have been busy filing orders for meteorites. Everything I posted the other day has sold. Large tektites can be found for sale. I have several 100+ gram pieces in my collection. I got them a few years ago from Paul Liu of Great Wall Consulting. The URL is here: http://www.greatwallct.com/ Many of the Chinese Tektites you see on ebay were obtained from Paul (for pennies/gram)! Also, check out the Paul and Jim's Meteorite Exchange website. http://www.meteorite.com/ They have a nice selection from many localities and I believe more will be added soon. BTW, there is a guy selling on ebay who goes by the id "dagoodstuff" who sells "large" and "huge" indochinites of 40 and 50 grams. Don't fall for this. It is misleading seller hype. A 40 or 50 gram Chinese tektite is by no means large and can be had for a lot less than his selling price.

Re: [meteorite-list] GOLD BASIN RESULTS!!!!
Actually I live (alot of the time with my mom) is just about 10 kilometers from where the Shelburne Ont. meteorite fell back in 1909. Kinda good feeling to know you live so close to a place where a meteorite fell. Jay From: Mark Bostick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] GOLD BASIN RESULTS Date: Fri, 3 May 2002 02:58:26 -0500 Hello Everyone again, And now the moment we have all been waiting for.(drum roll please.) THE RESULTS OF THE MARK IS FEELING BETTER GUESS ILL GIVE AWAY A GOLD BASIN THING.. Frank Chessey nominated Bob Verish. Which is this spiret I could nominate Donald O'Keefe, who has been leaving around the strewfield waiting for retirement. Sounds like a way to kill a few years before the pension checks:-) Mike Farmer and Bob Verish nominated Skip Wilson. Who has done much for our interest and seems well liked by all. Who I do not believe I ever met (go to Denver and Tuscon and try remembering everyone's face that you were not introduced to). And who is closest to there collection..(that answered). 1. Mike Farmer - 4 miles - Cat Mountain - with an honorable mention of Udal Park - 5 miles 2. Matt Morgan. 6 miles - Bear Creek Iron - Co 3. Gordon Trone 8 miles - Williamette 4. Me (Wichita, Kansas) - ~10 miles - Belle Plaine, Kansas 5. Ken Newton (Lehigh Acres, Fl.) - 20 miles - Bonita Springs - Fla, 6. Steve Witt (Lake Station) 35.5 miles - Hamlet 7. Greg Redford (Fairfax, Va.) 100 miles - Stauton, Va. Including one e-mail sent to the wrong person and fowarded to me and one DAT file I wouldn't/couldn't open. And so the winner isJudges..(pause). (pause again)(you know suspence). 1. SKIP WILSON 2.. Honorable mention goes to fellow IMCA member Gordon Trone for living closest to the Willamette, the meteorite I would take if I could just one. I live about 8 miles from where the Willamette was found...same county. I have a small but expensive, piece of it in my collection. Gordon Trone. 3. Honorable mention also goes to Greg Redford who is the furtherest from his collection! (again that answered). 4. To fellow IMCA member Jeff Kuyken, who gave my favorite reply. I've got a few within a 90 odd minute drive. How's Cranbourne (~30km), Willow Grove (~90km) and Murchison (~150km)? Just for interest; there's a road in Murchison called Meteorite Street! Jeff Kuyken. I tried to get a street maker to produce some Meteorite Street and a Impact Lane sign for me but he only wanted to to do drives and wouldnt do otherwise (really). 5. And Finally Dean Bessey. For living in Canada and therefore gets a handycap. Just think hoq boring this might have been had we all lived in Canada. For their efforts, (not the sign-maker) they win consulation prices of a free Oum Rockba meteorite If someone would foward Skip's address or if one of the list members that knows him would like to be a go between please send me your address. Honorable mention winners should also send me their address to claim their prizes. And now a little more serious.. I would like to thank Jim Kreigh and Ingrid Monrad for there field work on the meteorite and the great dinner they held for us in Tuscon this year. There was a lot of money put out to make this possible and it was really enjoyed by all. Where else could I have eat with Robert Hagg and the Labennes while they are talking about finding moon meteorites. Both where very pleasant to me and others and we very much appreciate it. Thanks again! I would like to note here that Jim Kreigh is still working on mapping the strewfield. If anyone has cordinates they have taken and have not given them to him, please e-mail him with that information. If anyone has a very strange Gold Basin piece. Please e-mail a photo to Robert Vernish or someone like for their opinon.

[meteorite-list] The SOHO-500 Comet Contest
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/comet.html The SOHO-500 Comet Contest Contest Objective Predict the perihelion date and time of SOHO-500. Rules 1. The contest is open to anyone, anywhere, except to Doug Biesecker and Derek Hammer. 2. Entries must be e-mailed to Doug Biesecker ( [EMAIL PROTECTED]) no later than the end of the day May 31st, 2002 EDT (0400 UT, June 1). Valid entries must include your name, your e-mail address, and the date and time, including year, month, day and time of day in UT. Only one entry per person will be accepted. 3. In the case of the 500th comet being an archive discovery, then the discoverer is also not eligible, but the closest guess still wins. 4. Guesses will not be revealed publicly until the entry period has closed. However names of those who have submitted guesses will be posted to verify that an entry has been received on your behalf. See the web site sungrazer.nascom.nasa.gov/soho500/ Note: The web site will be updated as often as possible, but due to travel engagements, in the next few weeks, there will be delays. Prize Win a DVD or VHS copy of the SOLAR MAX movie (www.solarmovie.com). Solar Max is a movie about the Sun. It also shows, very briefly, the Twin sungrazers (C/1998 K10 and K11). It is definitely very cool, featuring images not only from various satellites, but also of sites of international interest, such as Machu Picchu in Peru, Newgrange in Ireland, Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and Tromso in Norway. It is available commercially in a variety of video formats, including DVD and VHS (NTSC and PAL). Find out more... Other Notes Disclaimers Determination of the SOHO comet numbers is entirely at the discretion of Douglas Biesecker. He assigns the numbers in order of discovery. These numbers are not an official product of any recognized astronomical body. However, they are a very convenient way to refer to the various comets and to keep track of the total number. Definition of an archive discovery: This is also at the discretion of Douglas Biesecker. If a comet is reported more than 36 hours after it is first visible in the data (and there are no large gaps in the data), then the comet will be designated as an archive claim. In cases of ambiguity, the 36 hour rule will begin at the time when an average observer might be expected to have been able to find the comet. * Neither ESA, NASA, or any other institution associated with SOHO is involved with the adjudication of claims or providing the prize. The contest is designed to increase the public's awareness of SOHO's discoveries and demonstrate the ease of accesibility of scientific data sets by the general public. Links Tips Links o As of May 2, 2001, the count is up to SOHO-435. Keep track of discoveries at sungrazer.nascom.nasa.gov/recent.html. o The SOHO Homepage, LASCO Homepage Tips: Possible Strategies 1. Estimate the number of comets per year and extrapolate. 2. Refine your estimate by looking at the monthly variation in the rate of discoveries. 3. Consider the chance that the discovery will be an archive claim. 4. Guess. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Don't count us out
At one time, I lived on the ridge overlooking Palolo Valley. There's a really neat extinct volcanic crater in the back of the valley, and with binocs, sometimes you can make out wild pigs (that's pronounced pgs). If you count vertical distance, that maybe 1 1/2 miles. The Honolulu fall smacked into Honolulu's downtown and harbor area, about 5 miles from Wilhelmina Rise (the ridge.) Now, however, I live 110 miles from the nearest fall site, with ocean in between; too bad. There's also an unconfirmed fall from 1966, when a meteorite supposedly clipped a metal ladder on the outside of one of the obervatories on top of Haleakala, but was immediately lost in the surrounding cinders.

[meteorite-list] Beautiful crystal VM-olivine Cluster for sale
Hola Lista You can see it the last 9 beautiful slice of Vaca Muerta olivine cluster in www.meteorites.cl/for-sale.html last green button (VM Olivine Cluster). These slices have the best surface/volume relation. This very rare silicate with large olivine crystals was found inside of a large and fractured Vaca Muerta meteorite of 400kg. The total mass of this beutiful silicate was 262g. Some slices show small and scarce metal inclusions. Vaca Muerta is a differentiated silicate and metal rich meteorite containing many silicate and eucrite inclusion around 10% in volume surrouded by a matrix of mesosiderite composition The Vaca Muerta parent body must have been impacted several times by different types of material to break up, mix, and fuse the various constituent pieces.

[meteorite-list] Mystery Solved!
In a story on meteorites in this month's issue of Rock and Gem, Bob Jones says that tektites are from the moon. No discussion, just the statement. There it is in black and white so it must be right. At least he didn't let out the secret that they are petrified green cheese. Chauncey Walden __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

-Original Message-From: Greg Redfern [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 7:57 PMTo: Mark BostickSubject: RE: [meteorite-list] FREE METEORITE CONTEST TWO! NWA's! NWAs are seen by many as the bastard children of the meteorite world. Justasthis label implies,they are scorned, ignored and looked down upon as not being worthy of our attention and scientific scrutiny. But the meteorite world is a bit better off each time one of these precious treasures is recognized for its origins and individual worth to us and the world of science. Whether it be a scientific project or a collector's shelf, we must remember they too hold untold secrets yet to be fathomed - and should be accorded such respect. For many ofthe A to Z's of the meteorite story are likely to be found among these denziens of the desertwhich is whyI love each one of them I have. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark BostickSent: Friday, May 03, 2002 11:39 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [meteorite-list] FREE METEORITE CONTEST TWO!

So without further wait "The free NWA meteorite lot contest!" Heres the deal. 20 free different numbered NWA meteoritemicromounts (most unclassified) for the person that best finishes the following phrase... "African Meteorites are cool because."

I'll probley give a couple consilation prizes so who knows what I'll pull out of the closet, but the prize will be 20 different NWA micromounts. And yes many of them will be unclassified but hey, they are FREE for the winner and it will be a great way for those with only a few meteorites to exspand their collection.

Somehow I think Darryl must be smiling down on us right now. This email brought from my deep admiration of a great mind who never shied away from healthy debate on this subject.
