[meteorite-list] Kaali meteorite - Estonia, 400BC?
Hi all, Doing some research for a radio slot, and am intrigued by the "Kaali" meteorite which fell in Estonia around 400BC; in the brief net searches I've done so far I've found intriguing references to the Sun being blocked out by the impact, localised environmental devastation and even "human casualties"... Couple of websites say that there's a large crater in Estonia, and several (as many as 8?) smaller craters nearby, but am just wondering if anyone out there has any more specific info about this impact? Thanks in advance for all info / help, Stu

Thanks in advance for all info / help, Stu Hello Stu and List, Here are two scientifically reliable references: RASMUSSEN K.L. et al. (2000) The age of the Kaalijärv meteorite craters (MAPS 35-5, 2000, pp. 1067-1071, excerpt): 400-370 B.C. at ± 1o / The nine Kaalijärv craters on the Estonian island of Saaremaa (Ösel) were caused by the impact of a fragmented IAB iron meteorite, of which several masses have been recovered totalling about 2.5 kg. The largest piece recovered so far weighs 38.4 gr (Raukas et al., 1999). VESKI S. et al. (2001) Ecological catastrophe in connection with the impact of the Kaali Meteorite about 800-400 BC on the island of Saaremaa, Estonia (MAPS 36-10, 2001 pp. 1367-1375, excerpt): About 800-400 B.C. a meteoroid hit a then relatively densely populated island, forming the Kaali meteorite impact craters. Unfortunately the people living at that time on the island of Saaremaa were illiterate and we have no direct written record of the impact event. Indirect written historical records interpreted as describing the Kaali meteorite blast event come from Tacitus (1942) and Pytheas from Massalia.

[meteorite-list] CEM Review in ST
Hello Listees, Listoids, In the July 2002 issue of Sky and Telescope (p. 58), you'll find a review of O.R. Norton's Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites. I don't quite agree with J.K. Beatty's final conclusion: the neophyte meteoriticist would have an easier time digesting Harry McSween's 'Meteorites and Their Parent Planets' but that is a matter of taste.

[meteorite-list] Miracles
A couple of my meteorites had started to get kind of rusty and I was afraid that a couple others may share the same fate so I sent them off to Jim Hartman a couple weeks ago and got them back today. My Fredericksburgh was almost totally covered with rust and is completely free now. Apparently, Jim also has a healing touch with stones too! My 20g Juancheng individual wasn't collected right away and so had begun to weather some plus living in such a humid enviroment didn't help it either. After getting it back from Jim if it wasn't the same shape I would swear it was a different meteorite that had just fallen this afternoon. Thanks for saving my pieces Jim. I'm sure my Eagle Station and Losttown will be nice and safe for years to come now.

[meteorite-list] lunar
hi list, this week i had lunar on the brain, i ordered and received from labenne brothers a 0.056 gram dhofar 280 lunar anorthositic highland breccia.as a produce clerk this seems to be the biggest boulder i can afford.on the net i found out several things about the lunar area. the apollo missions brought back many rocks of largely 2 types basalts and breccias, but also a few special finds including white crystaline anorthosite and impact melts. just a few samples of really upper mantle rock. i viewed pictures of lunar meteorite slabs and noticed the highland ones were black/gray and found out made of around 80% black anorthosite type rock, why then is the highlands look white from the earth?the moon surface must reflect alot of light? happy collecting david __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

meteorite-list] Weathering Degrees - Breakdown II Bernd Pauli HD [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 31 May 2002 21:50:13 +0200 Walter Branch wrote: Thanks for the breakdown. The weathering grades appear not to take a normal distribution, rather there appears to be a skew toward the lower grades. For comparison, can you produce that same chart but excluding the NWA meteorites in your database? - Walter Survey of weathering grades of meteorites excluding NWA: W0 or W0/1: 054 W1 or W1/2: 241 W2 or W2/3: 520 W3 or W3/4: 448 W4 or W4/5: 178 W5 or W5/6: 013 W6: 002 Just like before, this survey does not yet include Met.Bull. 86! But it does include all the other Hot Desert meteorites like DaG's, HaH's etc. Cheers, Bernd ** End of Original Message *** Hello Bernd and Walter, I would assume the skew toward the lower grades that Walter mentioned is the result of - the more a meteorite is weathered - the more it looks like a terrestrial rock - the the harder it would be to recognize it - the FEWER there will be found. But, here is a better reason - Since the weathering grade is based upon the interior condition of a stony meteorite, the high percentage of the total of meteorites that come from DRY (Hot Cold) Deserts will drive this skew toward the lower grades. Once again, the weathering grade is irregardless of the condition of the exterior of a meteorite. Maybe this is a good opportunity to review how weathering grade is determined (for the recent collector or for those new to the List): Weathering Grade (Wlotzka, 1993) W0-no visible oxidation of metal or sulfide but a limonitic staining may be noticeable in transmitted light. Fresh falls are usually of this grade, although some are already W1. W1-minor oxide rims around metal and troilite and minor oxide veins. W2-moderate oxidation of metal, about 20-60% being affected. W3-heavy oxidation of metal and troilite, 60-95% being replaced. W4-complete (95%) oxidation of metal and troilite, but no alteration of silicates. W5-beginning alteration of mafic silicates, mainly along cracks. W6-massive replacement of silicates by clay minerals and oxides. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [meteorite-list] Renaissance Wax Polish
Bill: I don't have any experience with Renaissance wax, but I have used regular paraffin wax on my Nantan and Campo and it has significantly reduced the oxidation. First melt the wax, then put the meteorite into it, completely submerged, for one half hour. Remove it and lay it on a paper towel to dry and cool. No need to remove any excessive wax - there shouldn't be any. I coated my Nantan about three months ago and it still looks great. Same for my Campo.
