Dear Listees:

In a little over six weeks, many of us will be arriving in sunny 
Tucson, Arizona, so I hope you all have your hotels and flights 
booked!

The weekend of February 7 - 9, 2003 will be action-packed with 
parties, auctions, and other events. If there are any more List 
members who would like to join us at the Fourth Annual Notkin/Arnold 
Meteor Mayhem Birthday Bash you should RSVP to me soon. I'll be 
mailing out invitations in early January. If you have received an 
invitation in the past, you will again this time, so no need to reply.

Looking forward to seeing many of you "Out West," and best wishes to 
List members the world over for a happy -- and hopefully war-free -- 
2003.

Geoff Notkin

p.s.  I am particularly looking forward to seeing Steve Arnold

  I have 4 nice combination thin sections and slices for

  them are very old terrestrial samples including olivine gabbro, hypersthene

  comparsions to achondrites, and for practicing mineral identification. 
  
   
  The fourth combination is a nice section/slice of NWA 
  904...made from an end section I purchased from the Hupe's. It is a unique 
  meteorite as you all know. 
   
  These were all made by the same person who prepares

start up a "Meteorite Mail Call" to ferret out the "grabasstically

You are correct Mike.  It is not up to Steve Arnold or anyone else in 
Chicago to decide what the name will be.  It is not up to any one 
person either.  The Nomenclature Committee gets together every so 
often and votes on names  Many times a meteorite is sold before it is 
named and many times the Nomenclature Committee has decided on a 
different name then the name used by Meteorite dealers and 
collectors.  Hadeja.:-) will have to wait untill it gets voted on 
before it has any "official" name.

 

Steve Arnold wrote: "It hurts me when I get private emails saying that

My advise there is maybe you should try to more thoughts in your 
e-mails to List members which often come off, in my opinion, as rude 
and to quote you, that you do not know what you are saying.  You are 
about to become the only person I have ever blocked twice.

 

However, I would like to congradulate Eric Twelker for getting this 
meteorite months before anyone else.  It is common for one dealer to 
get a meteorite before anyone else, but usually in a timespan of 
weeks.  Eric Twelker has done a great job and getting us nice 
meteorites for our collections.  Tagish Lake being another great 
example.  So the question I would have is not, what will the name be, 
but rather, what will Eric find next?

I have been in contact with my source, and I found out that these (2) meteorites are the same. They fell in different areas, but it fell closer to hadeja, thus the name. Around 8 to 12 kilos were found. I also learned as of this thanksgiving, that this meteorite was officially classified here in chicago, and it will be classified under the name, K I L A B O, not hadeja. So it hurts me when I get private emails saying that I do not know what I am saying. Ijust needed to dig a little deeper. But it was classified as KILABO, not hadeja. Sorry for the uproar.

THIS SURE LOOKS LIKE A NICE BIG PIECE OF CORAL.
LIKE OTHERS SUGGESTED, PUT SOME WEAK ACID OR EVEN VINEGAR WILL WORK.  ANY

I don't mean to rain on anybodies parade, but I vote for a meteorwrong the
worm holes are evident they are not volcanic gas holes and the breakage area
looks like a sedimentary limestone. Pour a bit of acid on the specimen it

[meteorite-list] update on kilabo/hadeja

2002-12-21 Thread STEVE ARNOLD
I have been in contact with my source, and I found out that these (2) meteorites are the same. They fell in different areas, but it fell closer to hadeja, thus the name. Around 8 to 12 kilos were found. I also learned as of this thanksgiving, that this meteorite was officially classified here in chicago, and it will be classified under the name, K I L A B O, not hadeja. So it hurts me when I get private emails saying that I do not know what I am saying. Ijust needed to dig a little deeper. But it was classified as KILABO, not hadeja. Sorry for the uproar. Soon this piece will be hard to get as well as hard to find. More will be learned in tucson. This piece will be in the meteorological guide as kilabo.
    thank you, steve arnold, chicagoSteve r. Arnold, Chicago, il, 60107

It strikes me that odds are slim that two meteorites would fall in the same village at the same time.   I am curious what the classification of Steve's meteorite is.

Hi Eric and all,
the Kilabo sample has been classified as an LL6 and submitted to the Met Soc with the proposed name "Kilabo".
There's a long story behind it that I won't go into here, but it IS the same meteorite as Hadejia - all that's happened is that it's been classified by two different researchers, and each has proposed/forwarded a different name for it.

Cheers,
Rob.
