[meteorite-list] Team Seeks Remains Of Nighttime Fireball In Colorado
http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/newsfd/auto/feed/news/2003/05/31/1054357963.03033.7221.2164.html Team seeks remains of nighttime fireball By MIKE McKIBBIN The Daily Sentinel (Grand Junction, Colorado) May 31, 2003 MONTROSE - A team of researchers is in Montrose and Gunnison this weekend to gather information that could lead to the discovery of fragments of a fireball that lit the nighttime skies in five states last Thanksgiving. The Nov. 28 fireball weighed around 200 pounds before it broke up about 23 miles above the ground, according to researchers with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, formerly the Denver Museum of Natural History. Curator of Geology Dr. Jack Murphy said it may have been the largest and brightest fireball to come down over Colorado in several decades. The rock may have broken apart near the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, about 10 miles northeast of Montrose. But Murphy and Chris Peterson, a physicist and research assistant, believe meteorites might have landed in more than one place along the fireball's flight path. They think Gunnison and Montrose counties are likely locations. Murphy and his team gave a presentation Friday night at Montrose High School on what local residents should look for if they go out meteorite hunting. After a search near the north rim of the Black Canyon today, another presentation is scheduled for Sunday at 10 a.m. at the Elk Creek Visitor Center in Gunnison. The fireball was the first to be recorded by a video camera linked to the museum's All Sky monitoring program. The camera is on top of Montrose High School, while a security camera on top of a building in Longmont also filmed the fireball. Nearly 350 witness reports from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Utah were received. "The eyewitness reports are especially helpful in determining the track of the fireball," Murphy said. His team planned to interview Montrose-area witnesses this weekend. But Murphy isn't sure what - if anything - might be found. Of Colorado's 81 confirmed meteorites, only five were found on the Western Slope, he said. "Most of them are plowed up on the eastern plains, but they do fall evenly everywhere," Murphy said. "It's just a matter of people finding them and they're hard to recognize in the mountains where you have so many rocks and boulders. They can also bury themselves and some of them erode fairly rapidly." Montrose High School science teacher Mike Nadiak and some of his students analyzed data from their school's All Sky camera as part of the investigation. "We got about a half dozen really good pictures," Nadiak said. "It looks like a bright light, then it gets brighter and then it explodes. It was one of the most amazing things for people to see in the sky around here." The security camera video shows the rapid, fiery atmospheric entry and a large bright flare as the meteor broke apart midway through its descent. After the flare, the video shows the meteor continuing toward the southwest horizon. Last week, Murphy and his team were in Rifle to donate a plaster of Paris replica of the 113-pound Rifle meteorite to the Rifle Creek Museum. That meteorite was found around 1948, about 10 miles northwest of Rifle. Until the last few years, it was believed the Rifle rock was a piece from the well-known Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. Recent study confirmed its unique geological properties and it is now listed in the World Catalog of Meteorites as the "Rifle" meteorite.

[meteorite-list] Owens Valley Iron 1913
Hell'o list, Ok, here is my rare inquiry about a meteorite of local importance to me. I found a plate of this quarter ton iron in an old Smithonian Volumn on Meteorites found near me here in Inyo Co.,CA. This was "found by a sheppard and donated to the National Museum", but I know there is some cut pieces in private hands. If anybody has any of this please contact me. Would love to get a small piece, but also just interested to know whats out there. Any articles about this too would be appreciated. Howard Wu Yahoo! Plus - For a better Internet experience

[meteorite-list] Re: Bencubbinite (and what it really is - Moho samples)
Salam Mr. Yousef, Hello List, Since you're directly linking to a site that I created on behalf of Bruno and Carine (www.meteorite.fr), I feel urged to make a few comments about your so-called bencubbinites, and about the proper classification of your finds. For those list members who aren't interested in terrestrial mineralogy, and in knowing what's up with Mr. Yousef's rocks, just go ahead and hit the delete key. First, let me say that I don't think that you're an imposter or "fake" like many list members have suggested. Obviously, you're an Omani, or you're living in Oman since your rocks are rather typical for certain regions of your country. Second, these rocks are no meteorites, sorry. However, they are in fact somewhat rare, and extraordinary since they represent samples of the so-called Moho, or Mohorovicic discontinuity. The Moho is the boundary zone between the crust and the upper mantle of the Earth, and it's usually deep within the Earth or can be found at deep-sea levels. There are a few exceptions, however, and the mountains of northern Oman are a rare example of a place where the Moho surfaces, e.g. in the Jabal Nakhl, or in the Jabal al Akhdar. Many of these Moho stones also have been transported by erosion into the wadis and desert areas of northern Oman, and they can easily been mistaken for being meteorites since they are in fact strongly attracted to a magnet. Being genuine samples of the upper mantle, they contain much more iron, and magnetite than other terrestrial rocks. Usually Moho stones are ophiolites, dark mafic to ultra-mafic rocks that all show a certain stage of serpentinization of the ultra-mafic compounds. Your samples are actually nice (and somewhat rare) samples of the Moho discontinuity, and the upper mantle of the Earth, but no bencubbinites nor meteorites at all. If they would be meteorites I could show you several places in your country where you can pic up several tons of this stuff. Why don't you head further down south into the deserts of your country? There are much better places to look for meteorites, down there near Haima, or in the Dhofar, and you won't be misleaded by the Moho in these areas. Think about it. Best of luck to you, Norbert --- M. H.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sunrise
Hi, I saw the whole thing from the north west coast of Scotland. It was about 2 degrees above the horizon at annularity, and was filtered nicely by the clouds so you could easily look right at it unprotected, although the clouds and haze on the horixon obscured it for the early part of annularity. It was a wierd one though, with annularity at about 4.45 am, 20 minutes past sunrise. It started to get light, then it got dark, then it got light again! Truly an amazing experience. A friend caught the whole thing on video. Regards, Stuart Forbes Edinburgh, Scotland - Original Message - From: "Ing.
