[meteorite-list] Park Forest Question
Hello Everyone, List member Mike Groetz asked a question about Park Forest earlier this week but I don't remember seeing many, if any, replies. My apologies if I missed the replies but I think his question is a good one. With all the hoopla surrounding Parl Forestr and the many wonderful specimens being found, I would like to know what steps are being made to insure that the specimens are being legally obtained. Now, I am NOT accusing anyone of any wrongdoing. It's just that we all know that the owner of a meteorite find is the owner of the property on which it fell, be it public or private, therefore it seems to me that permission or some sort of arrangement would have to be made with the property owners before a meteorite could be recovered. Obviously, some dealers have paid the orginal finders for there specimens, so there would be sales receipts invloved but I am more interested in meteorite collectors and dealers who happen to have found specimens themselves. Again, I am not accusing anyone of any wrongdoing, it's just that I have read of holes being dug, large and small specimens being found, and pieces are being sold even before the analysis of this meteorite as been completed. Discoveries are being made seemingly daily. Earlier this week, I received an email from an individual who reported that he found a suspected meteorite and here is an excerpt of his email to me: The field is on BLM land in Nevada, so there shouldn't be a legal problem. I hope. Of course, I have already emailed him but this is not atypical of the many weekly emails I receive. Anyway, I would appreciate any response. -Walter - www.branchmeteorites.com __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Park Forest Question
Hi Walter and list, You bring up a good point here. I also had to wonder that with so many pieces being recovered from different areas, i.e. Park Forest, Olympia Fields, if someone is mapping out the finds (for example the Meteor / Barringer Crater distribution map of 1908) and if any GPS coordinates are being being written down for any specimens.

[meteorite-list] Good bye List
Hello, all you good people of the list. I love this great hobby and all the people that are involved in it, you are some of the neatest people I have ever met, even if only by emails. : ) But, at least for the time being, I am taking a break. If the economy ever picks back up, and therefore my line of work, I am sure I will get back into it. Right now, it is just to depressing to be on the list, seeing all the recent witnessed falls and great deals that come along, and can't take advantage of them.

Re: [meteorite-list] Pallasite only $5.00 per gram ----- SLICED !!!!!!
Why $5.00 per gram when Ivan is selling the stuff on ebay for a starting price of $1.00. Right now 126 grams for $55.55, that is only $0.50 a gramI have 3 slices of approximately 50 grams each I will part with for $3.00 a gram. In fact a 1260 gram corner cut end slice just went for $900.00. I will sell my slices for $3.00 a gram and pay the shipping to anywhere in the US.

Re: [meteorite-list] RE:Good bye List
Tom and List, I for one don't want to see you go. I too have been a bit depressed by all the selling and so forth regarding the Park Forest meteorites and not being able to get into middle of it. Watching the prices climb out of site was a downer for me as well. Believe it or not--not all of us can put together $5,000, $12,000 or for that matter, $500 to buy a piece of Park Forest. I live pretty much paycheck to paycheck, and can set aside about $20-$30 per check after paying multitudes of medical and household bills.. After a year's time, I have enough for whatever I want to go crazy on. I admire meteorite dealers who can put together transportation, hotels and fly in to buy. That's their bread--butter and their pros. I always wished them the best! But remember Tom, there are probably more of us who have to pinch pennies (until they scream), than there are the Robert Haags, and Mike Farmer's of this world. I don't want to take away anything from these persons who have been here in Illinois to purchase Park Forest, in the last week or so. For it stands to reason, that sooner or later, good meteorite dealers such as Farmer will have material for sale. The price will be what the market will bear.There's plenty it seems to go around. Additionally, with many good meteorite list people here finding material and making purchases, I'm confident the material will eventually get to market. Tom, you and I will just have to patient, save our pennies, and buy Park Forest at a later time. I live about 30 miles from the Park Forest, and unfortunately there were so many unforseen problems which came in at the same time as the fall, I was unable to free myself up and go. After 48 hours it seemed to be a moot point what with, the media and whomever, causing the prices to sky rocket. The area isn't exactly a dry lake bed, so it stands to reason that more material will eventually surface, (probably in the most unlikely places). So Tom, please reconsider. I'm privately cheering on the dealers (listed in all the previous emails) who risked a lot to come here and acquire specimens not only for the meteorite collector community, but for the scientific community as well.

Hi Tom, You know I thought about doing the same thing myself, Many posts about this new PK fall, Kind of makes you a little upset to see where the price is going on this one. But I will stay here on the list there is too much to learn and now and then I do learn something new just because I am on the list. Do not leave the list , I know it is hard to resist buying sometimes but I think most of us are on a limited budget, it would be nice to be able to buy anything you wanted to but this for most of us is impossible.

Re: [meteorite-list] Good bye List
Tom, Sorry to see you go. Many of the now successful meteorite dealers once worked for other dealers to learn the business. (they had a dream and persued it) I look at the LIST as an ongoing education you can't get at any university. It only cost the time to study and enough interest to question. Everyone needs a dream even an impossible one. However, if seeing 'out of reach deals come and go' depresses you, perhaps you need to rethink what makes you happy and why. There will ALWAYS be many fantastic deals for LIST members simply by Nature and the nature of its members. You have discovered a precious gem, don't discard it as a wrong unless you have found something of greater value. ken Tom aka James Knudson wrote: Hello, all you good people of the list.

Re: [meteorite-list] Good bye List
Hi Tom- In no way should you leave the list!!! There are many reasons we should all stay together in this hobby and money sure isn't one of them. I honestly do not feel that one's ability to purchase meteorites has anything to do with the fun we have of learning (and wondering!) My position with the company I've worked for just a few months shy of 30 years now is very questionable right now with the economy and my age (I just turned 50). I am salaried and seriously sweat a little with every pay check. Both of our kids are full time students in college and believe me- college costs and meteorites do not mix. And we are trying very hard to get them through without major loans hanging on them when they get out- yet they are not getting a free ride either. Enough of that. This is how I am doing it. 99% of my collection is micros from very good people. They are highly diversified from many locations around the world. Not the top specimens (including Forest Park!!) and rarely do I spend much over $10 (if that)for each. But it is like I tell my son at school with his baseball cards- you may not have the best or the most expensive- but what you do have are yours and you need to be proud of them. And he is proud of them as I am proud of the meteorite collection I do have. With a purchase here or there of a small micro when I feel like splurging (I have my share of attractive NWA's- believe me!)- it keeps my excitement going. I wondered if I would be a pain in the dealer's sides- but I have not felt that from them. Believe me- I am not one of their big spenders although I have wished many times I could afford nicer or larger as you have. So hang in there. We all need to be thankful for what we have. You've made allot of positive contributions to this list and I think everyone would miss you if you backed out. I know I would. I wish you the best with your work and your future. Please don't back out of the meteorite list. Mike Groetz --- Tom aka James Knudson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, all you good people of the list.

[meteorite-list] no luck today, but had fun
Good evening list.I am back home now with nothing new to report.I searched high and low, but there was nothing to find.I had a great morning hunting with mark fazini from homewood.He might have come up with a 1/2 gram piece of non-crusted material.He bought lunch, then we did a little more hunting.Then at noon he had to leave, so a I went it alone for a while.About 1:15 I got a call from jason phillips to let me know where they are.So I went over and found,marvin kilgore,roman jirasik, rob wesel, and as I am walking up the street along comes the king himself,BOB HAAG.Wow talk about some great people in the meteorite realm.I also picked up in a trade I made, I got a real nice fully crusted 2 gram piece of the new PK meteorite.Well after all that I went out into some away from it all and went hunting for a couple more hours , but alas, nothing was to be found on this day.These last two saturdays have been great.I only wish the next meteorite fall is right in my back yard.Or at least close by.Well untill the fall, or tucson, it was great to see alot of the gang again.This has been a great experience.To have found a meteorite in your own town is an experience I will never forget.And now it is time to get back on my life.My next stop, vacation,in CANCUN!

Re: [meteorite-list] Good bye List
Hi Tom, Steven, Ken, Mike, et al., On second thought... Exactly. Knowledge and enjoyment (fun) are what's important. Not what is sitting on your shelf or display case. At any given time my collection consists of maybe a dozen specimens (not including micromounts. I have numerous micros, most of which are ordinary chondrites. I love ordinary chondrites). I get a new specimen, study it like crazy, then pass it on to someone else. Got a bunch of them on ebay right now at cost or slighly higher (no, not meant to be a plug). I also enjoy cutting some into micromounts Most people would be surprised to learn that my permanent non-micromount collection at this time consists of exactly six specimens, four of which cost me less than .50/gram. The other two, NWA 482 and Zagami, cost me slighly more per gram.. ...okay, a lot more :-) I am very proud of my collection. One of my favorites in my collection is a 15 gram piece of Sikhote-Alin shrapnel, a picture of which is on my site. http://www.branchmeteorites.com/gallerysikhote-alin15.96.html I paid $6.00 to Jim Strope March of last year for it. I am being honest when I tell you that, if I had to chose between that 15 gram shrapnel and 15 grams of Park Forest, I would chose the shrapnel. Tom, like you have a laughed over the things I have read over the past week or so, particularly the maneuverings among dealers. I got a small piece of Park Forest today in partial trade for some other stuff (like money, :-) but I am not sure if I will keep it. There is so much other, less expensive material that interest me. Maybe I will study it for a while then pass it on. Just collect what interests you and what you can afford. Everyone's different. Everyone has different wants, needs, resources, and capabilities. After all, it's just a hobby. We had my daughter's 4th birthday party today http://www.branchmeteorites.com/temp/bday.jpg There are obviously much more important things in life than meteorites. -Walter PS: We had my daughter's party at a playground type place at the Savannah Mall, and in the back was a Children's Museum which consisted of a row of display cases containing fossils. I correctly identifed what appeared to be a 7kg rusting Nantan in one of the cases.

I could not agree with that thought more then I do. I would also like to encourage you Tom, not to leave the list or the hobby. I fact I would hate to see the day when the list was only composed of those that spend large amounts of money on meteorites. The power of this list has always been its diversity. While the price of Park Forest can be somewhat saddening, one does not have to worry about meteorites running dry anytime soon or that meteorite bargins will not be present in the future. Personally, I would rather have a 2 kilo NWA then a 10g slice of Part Forest. I often find purchasing an old meteorite book to be a better bargin then a meteorite itself.

Hello All, I would consider trading some of my Park Forest slices for something that catches my interest...run it by me. While the Park Forest prices seem high...you have to keep some things in mind. This meteorite is the 1st to hit a major populated area with at least 4 house impacts, 2 car impacts, fire hydrant, post, curb, side of house, fire station, etc... It is not going to be cheap. Peekskill is still about ~$40.00 + per gram.

Re: [meteorite-list] Good bye List
Hi Rosie, Sure will. Thanks. Allende is good. Talk about a classic. Underrated IMHO. I had a common chondrite a few years ago which had the most beautiful metal flake. The metal was very tiny and uniform in distribution and size. The matrix was dark. It was stunning. Wish I could remember the name of that one. ummm...Seems like is started with an A. Ashmore, maybe.

[meteorite-list] A Few Musings
Good Evening Everyone, Just a few thoughts to share this evening if you don't mind. The true power of this List has been shown over the past two weeks or so and I would like to share what it means to me (and hopefully all of us). Steve Arnold (of Chicago, not IMB) brought the PF fall to the attention of most of us. Then the intrepid hunts of many of our colleagues brought us on site information and ultimately, specimens to admire and/or buy. Then we learned first hand the total aftermath of a significant fall on a major urban area - all of the good, the bad and the downright ugly. But it was the LIST that gave us all of these experiences! For Tom (please do not quit the list because of meteorite envy...we ALL suffer from it Tom, believe me) it was hard to bear reading about all of the meteorite trading going on as it was for most of us. But there are pieces of PF to be had at reasonable cost, if not size. Just to have a fragment of this is beyond comprehension! All of us, when you get right down to it, LOVE meteorites. Each that I own is part of meI do not think I could bear to part with them which is why I decided I could not ever sell any I acquired. Meteorites are the closest to space any of us will ever get. My God, we can go to our collections and based on what we have collected touch a comet, the asteroid Vesta, THE MOON AND MARS (!!!), PRE-SOLAR GRAINS4.5+ billion years of history concerning the Universe. That is what the List is all about dear colleagues...the rush we get when we are on the hunt and/or the quest for up close and personal knowledge of our place in the Universe. NONE of us will ever own all the meteorites in the world which means there is plenty of room for all of us. And you know what the neatest thing is in this passion of ours? We NEVER know what is going to happen in the next second as our planet sweeps through space. Thank you Art, and all of you on this List, for giving ourselves a means availlable no where else to pursue and pontificate about our passsion.

Re: [meteorite-list] Pallasite only $3.00 per gram ----- SLICED !!!!!!
I thought you said $5.00 per gram? Even at $3.00 with the free shipping I think we will both have our slices for some time well into the future. With finmet selling them on ebay at the prices he is I doubt anyone will pay anything over a dollar. Like I said he recently sold a beautiful 1260 chunk sliced on 2 sides for $900.00...if my calculator is correct that is a meager $0.72 a gram. If you get any buyers at $3.00 and run out of slices send them my way would you? Thanks, Mark M.

[meteorite-list] Walter's posting about meteorite ownership
Hello Walter and List, The ownership of meteorites found on federal land is not a simple issue. For information on this topic, visit the following website... http://www.bgroveswon.com/meteoritelaw/meteorite_law.html The case of the Old Woman meteorite is particularly interesting. The original finders could have been owners of their fantastic find but were unable to move it. The Smithsonian recovered the mass using military support. Rob Earlier this week, I received an email from an individual who reported that he found a suspected meteorite and here is an excerpt of his email to me: The field is on BLM land in Nevada, so there shouldn't be a legal problem. I hope. Of course, I have already emailed him but this is not atypical of the many weekly emails I receive. -- __ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Good bye List
Tom, I'm gonna leave all the eloquent, poetic words of wisdom to the better educated names that grace this list, and say "MAN, COME TO YOUR SENSES"! Up until this fall, I probably had the most meager collection of anyone on this list. I'm not affraid to tell you or anyone here that I am a regular 'Joe', and have had my share of tough times, and sometimes I look at the meteorites on the dealer sites and it almost KILLS me to know that I can't buy this stuff! The most I ever spent on a meteorite is $86.00 for an ugly old Gao, whoppee #%@! I hunt for mine when I get the chance, and as you well know, if you expect to procure a respectable collection, hunting is not the way to go! So I continue to fight the good fight, stay optimistic, buy when I can, and keep lurking! I joined this list a very short time ago. It turns out that it was right on time for me. If I hadn't joined this list when I did I may not have heard about PF until the next edition of "Meteorite" magazine! Then where would I be? Not sittin' on 638 grams! (thanks Steve!) Come on Tom, no matter how depressing it can be to look in on the action that seems to be passing you by, you shouldn't deny yourself what is obviously important to you, and you shouldn't deny us your company and valuable input. Reconsider, Larry Atkins
