Re: [meteorite-list] avoirdupois ?
Hi Tom the use of avoirdupois measure is almost restricted to things other than rock. What is common is the gram. 1 ounce avoir. equals 28.35 grams, 1 ounce troy equals 31.103 grams. What we use is grams and kilograms (and of course, some sellers use pounds to help those who can't quite grasp metric). Now, I understand that the opal dealers use troy ounces in Australia, and that may be a standard outside of North America (or better stated as a convention and not a rule) since, as defined by the gemmological groups, one ounce equals 141 carats for gem weights (this is a standard now, they decided to round it off to an whole number as it used to be 141.75 carats to an ounce) and if you multiply 5 carats to a gram times 28.35 grams to an ounce you get 141.75 carats. So, this standard leaves out troy weights (which are typically used for precious metals) altogether. Thats the history in a nutshell. So, basicly, to make it simple after all that, we don't use either really, just grams and kilograms and the ounces are left out of the picture just so there isn't a problem.

Re: [meteorite-list] avoirdupois ?
Hi, Tom aka James, "Avoirdupois" is the fancy French term for common British measures (like pounds and ounces and gallons and miles and inches, and also less common ones like ells and tuns and drams and rods and chains) which are called common British measures except for the fact that the common British don't use them either or at least they're not supposed to (an English butcher was arrested for selling meat by the pound) as opposed the metric system which all science of whatever kind including meteoritics uses and has used for the last fifty years or so as well as all of the rest of the world uses for everything except when they go into a MacDonald's and don't ask for 5/44ths kilo'er with cheese just like nobody buys a 1/28 ounce micro of their favorite meteorite, so, yes, "we" meaning the USA use "Avoirdupois" in everyday life but not in science, although it is true that Richard Nixon planned to convert the entire USA officially and universally to the metric system, the remains of which intention still survive in the two-liter bottle of soda and the bureaucratic insistance in labelling all food packages in grams but not much else, but it never happened because Nixon failed to measure up in either system. Hey, I sure hope that explains everything... Sterling K. Webb -- Tom aka James Knudson wrote: > Hello List, This is meteorite related, it may not seem to be, but take it > from me it is!

Re: [meteorite-list] Martian Meteorite on Saturday Night Live
Well, I wouldn't put anything past Ben Afleck... maybe that trip to the asteroid with Bruce Willis addled his brain or something... :-) Not exactly related to meteorite face carving, but when I was in London recently I visited the Tate Britain (which houses the Turner paintings, as opposed to the Tate Modern which has all the trendy, "alternative" stuff) gallery beside the Thames, and there was an exhibit by an artist who used meteorites in her work. Or claimed to. What she did, apparently, was heat an iron meteorite in an oven until it was "red hot" (must have a HECK of an oven!) and then place it on maps to burn areas of them away, making crisp-edged artificial "craters" in cities and towns... I *think* the idea was to mimic the destruction of the said city or town by a meteorite in a "graphical way everyone could appreciate"... or she could just have been taking the , I'm not sure. Either way, a typical "work" (an A4 sized map with a 1" hole burned into it) was selling for a LOT of money. There was a booklet to - also, surprise surprise, extortionately-priced - giving details of the artist's work, which I'm sure included references to "red-hot" meteorites being found smoking in fields in the US... "No dear," I thought, leafing through it with obvious amusement (which didn't go down well with the museum staff nearby!), "that's Kryptonite you're thinking of..." Speaking of which, how come when I watch it Smallville is never crawling with meteorite hunters? Seems there's chunks of kryptonite everywhere - in streams, fields, walls, caves... each week I expect to see one of our List members in the background bartering with a farm owner... :-) Stu
[meteorite-list] Martian Meteorite on Saturday Night Live
Hey List, Watching Saturday Night Live last night, there was a cartoon about Jennifer Lopez and whomever her boyfriend is. The guy was giving her presents and he gave her a Martian Meteorite. He said something like "Here is a Martian Meteorite, they were going to study it for science, but I had them carve it into the image of your mother's head." Strange, but true. Steve Arnold P.S. Does anyone out there actually carve meteorites into different images???

[meteorite-list] Books for sale
Hello list, I have various books about meteoritics and planetary science for sale, including some out-of-print titles which are quite hard to find. http://www.skysearcher.com/books/ This list started as an attempt to pass on titles which I have retired from my personal library as I have found other copies in better condition. I have also managed to acquire a few small lots of publishers' remainders and used books, especially of "classic" out-of-print titles which are hard to find in Europe. Quite a few European meteorite collectors have already seen this list. I don't go out of my way to publicize it in the US, however, because of the expense of international postage -- the Netherlands postal system does not have an inexpensive surface book rate. However, I will be visiting the US in a couple of weeks and will be able to mail to North American customers at US media mail (book) rate, so if there is anything on the list which appeals to you, please e-mail me. Not long ago I was able to go through hundreds of back issues of National Geographic Magazine, and am offering several issues of interest to meteorite collectors. Something to trade? Make an offer! My sincere apologies to Phil Bagnall, Matt Morgan, Mike Jensen, Monica Grady, Richard Norton, and others that their very worthy (recent) titles don't appear on this list. Selling books is a sideline which I cannot invest much time or $$$ in, and I don't try to stock everything which is worthwhile. It is actually a bit of a fluke that I have any new titles at all on this list.

[meteorite-list] Shirokovsky Texture - A Red Flag As to Its Origin??
I have been looking at a number of pictures of fragments of Shirokovsky that were shown on various web pages and pictures of pallasites. After comparing them, there appears to be, in my opinion, a rather drastic difference in the texture of the olivine grains within each.. In the pallasites, indvidual grains are equant and either rounded or euhedral. Also, in the pallasites, a person can find examples of olivine grains that have coalesced together. Examples of this texture can be seen at: http://www.meteoriteman.com/collection/thiel.htm http://www.meteoriteman.com/collection/dora.htm http://www.meteoriteman.com/collection/mtvernon.htm http://meteorites.asu.edu/pallasite.jpg In comparison, pictures of the pieces of Shirokovsky that I have found have a different texture. the olivine crystals are far more angular and variable in outline than found in the pallasites, for which I found pivtures. In fact, some of the olivine pieces in pictures of Shirokovsky are even flat rectagular blades quite unlike anything seen in true pallasites. In addition, I don't see any of the merged / coalesced olivines seen in other, Overall, the Shirokovsky has the apperance of a terrazzo floor made up of fragmented rocks. This is suggestive of fragmented chips of olivine that have been cemented together by the matrix. The difference in the texture of the olivine in the pallasites and the Shirokovsky pseudometeorite is quite striking. The texture, outline, distribution of the olivine grains distinguish Shirokovsky as being different from many pallisites. Also, the angular and highly variable shape of the olivine grains in the Shirokovsky suggest some sort natural or artificial olivine breccia. Although might be / are pallasites that are breccias, it seems like the texture of the Shirokovsky pseudometeorite should have raised a red flag as to its nature.

Re: [meteorite-list] Personal advice?
Tom, Go and make hay while the sun is shining. Forget about hunting anything there. I have 2 brothers in law in Iraq in the army. Walking anywhere but on a street is dangerous and even that is not 100% and they get to carry guns and shoot back. Strolling through the desert would be suicide, it is mined, there are still bandits and Saddam loyalists that would love to skin an American. I doubt very seriously that anyone would want to remove anything from Iraq right now, natural or otherwise. I doubt very much that leaving the country with items taken from the country is a good idea either, unless you like doing time in a prison. There is no government yet so permits for such things would not be possible either. My one brother in law is in charge of some security detail at the airport and ALL military person leaving the country are being search, baggage and body...no Souveniers are being allowed to leave Iraq. Concentrate on making as much money as possible legally for you and your family on the job you get hired to do, stay out of the desert and forget about finding meteorites in a place that has been at war in one sense or another for over 25 years. The vast amount of unexploded anti-personnel mines, rockets and various other deadly items in the desert in that region make it completely unlikely you will return with anything but a wooden limb to walk on. The locals there are still not to keen about the American presense and strolling around in the desert far enough away from a town or village is asking to be dead. My 2 cents.

[meteorite-list] NEW Meteorite for sale
Hi everyone. I have been in Morocco for the last two weeks working on a Japanese meteorite film. We filmed a 2 hour documentary about meteorites and meteorites hunting and buying. I have been extremely busy with this for the last two months. It will be shown on NHK TV in Tokyo in July. I was the feature and Darryl Pitt was also included. I am doing the Pitino as part of the filming, that is why I am offering it up for sale right now. I have loaded the page on my website and it is now available. This was a meteorite found in the Campo del Cielo strewnfield in 2002. It is an H5 and the total known weight was only 1.667 kilo. I bought the entire stone, and after cut loss there is only 998 grams of this meteorite left for sale. Email me for requests, as I have many other pieces that are not listed.

[meteorite-list] Butterfields auction in Los Angeles
Dear Meteorite-list members, R. A. Langheinrich Meteorites has four exceptional one-of-a-kind meteorites on offer in tomorrow's Butterfields auction in Los Angeles. The lots are a large 2.3 kg oriented Taza with flow lines, two vintage historic Canyon Diablo irons with original Nininger numbers, and a 7.5 kg complete slice of Rio Limay -- one of the largest stone meteorite slices in the world. Of special interest is an original invoice from Nininger's American Meteorite Museum, which accompanies Lot #315. Absentee bids will be accepted, but there is no live online bidding. If you wish to place a bid in the auction, please visit this page to register: http://www.butterfields.com/areas/nh/7427x/7427x.htm Here are excerpts from the catalog descriptions of these lots, and links to the pages where photographs can be seen. Lot #319 Taza iron meteorite Oriented 2,304 grams A superb 2,304 gram Taza, shield-shaped on one side, and exhibiting flow lines -- both classic features of an oriented meteorite. Taza is a plessitic octahedrite iron, and was recovered from the deserts of Morocco. Although many individual specimens were found, most were very small averaging several grams in weight. This exceptional individual carries a reddish-orange desert and is one of very few large oriented Taza irons to have been offered for sale. See this item here: http://www.butterfields.com/areas/nh/7427x/detail/7427x-319.htm Lot #314 Canyon Diablo iron meteorite (IAB) >From Meteor Crater, Coconino County, Arizona Nininger number #34.4578 2,615 grams The most famous meteorite-related structure on Earth is, without doubt, Arizona's Meteor Crater, located east of Flagstaff in the American Southwest. Meteorite specimens recovered from the desert around the crater are known as Canyon Diablo irons, after a nearby geographical feature. The massive, well-preserved crater is thought to have been formed 20,000 to 50,000 years ago by an enormous iron meteorite, most of which vaporized on impact. Fortunately, the dry Arizona climate has allowed many fragments to survive, although the crater is on private land, and meteorite hunting is not permitted. The situation was very different in 1939 when H. H. Nininger the "father of meteoritics" began surveying the crater with a magnetic rake attached to the back of his car. Nininger studied Meteor Crater (then known as the Barringer Crater) for years, and built a meteorite museum close by. Specimens collected by Nininger were meticulously recorded, and each was given a unique catalog number. These delicate "Nininger numbers" were hand painted with a fine brush, and specimens -- such as this fine Canyon Diablo iron -- which bear such numbers are extremely hard to come by and highly prized by collectors and institutions. This excellent meteorite carries the number 34.4578, has a very attractive orange desert patina, and is both an outstanding example of a classic iron and a highly desirable historic specimen. See this item here: http://www.butterfields.com/areas/nh/7427x/detail/7427x-314.htm Lot #315 Canyon Diablo iron meteorite (IAB) >From Meteor Crater, Coconino County, Arizona Nininger number #34.4944 10,080 grams This substantial Canyon Diablo iron weighs slightly over 22 pounds and, like the previous lot, is a rare numbered piece from H.H. Nininger's American Meteorite Museum collection. Large Nininger irons are very rare indeed and historic specimens of this size and quality are almost never offered for sale. Of particular interest is the original invoice which is offered along with the specimen, and which gives this meteorite an ironclad provenance. A private collector purchased this iron directly from the Nininger family, and it is one of only a handful of these vintage specimens which is still accompanied by its original paperwork. A very rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable and impressive historic American iron meteorite. See this item here: http://www.butterfields.com/areas/nh/7427x/detail/7427x-315.htm Lot #304 Rio Limay stone meteorite slice (L5) Rio Negro, Argentina 7,500 grams This astonishing complete slice from the gigantic Rio Limay stone meteorite is not only one of the largest slices ever offered for sale, it is one of the largest in existence. Cut and polished to the very highest standards by expert preparator Allan Langheinrich, this slice -- almost of tabletop dimensions -- has been diamond lap finished to bring out its exceptional details. This meteorite's colorful interior displays evidence of severe shock -- a testament to its violent past in the asteroid belt -- which include deformed chondrules, granulated minerals, and melt features. A truly spectacular item, packed with colorful details, and one of the most impressive meteorite specimens of its type in the world.
