[meteorite-list] New-Orleans and Saint Aubin now available
Hello everybody! I have just received some tiny fragments of the New-Orleans meteorite, and a few slices of Saint Aubin, the new ungrouped octahedrite from France (more coming soon). And they are all ready for you to enjoy. The New-Orleans meteorite is indeed very friable, and the fragments are small, the largest is 0.10g, but I can see chondrules peeking out, and there are a few flakes of crust here and there. They will be shipped in small membrane boxes, 0.10g per box. That means that the first response gets the bigggest fragment, the second will get a couple fragments to make up 0.10g, and so on, until I run out of fragments. And the price: $25.00 for each box. I'll pay regular postage within the States. Right now, I have 2 small part-slices of St Aubin, the weights are 78.87g and 70.57g. And a small part endpiece of 50.81g. and 2 much larger slices (344.72g and 250.92g). If they don't sell quickly they will probably be cut. Saint Aubin is an ungrouped octahedrite with a lot of inclusions, these slices show a lot of needles of shreibersite, I see one about 5cm long. Pictures available upon request. And the price is $5/gram. And no, they are not on my site, I haven't taken the time to post them yet. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Anne M. Black www.

Re: [meteorite-list] Recognizing a Venusian meteorite
Hi, Actually, there are a number of sedimentary meteorites. It's just that they are not acknowledged to be meteorites. If you have the CDROM of the Catalogue, have the software assemble you a list of "pseudometeorites" that are not irons. Or just search for BLECKENSTAD (April 11, 1925) SWEDEN, a sedimentary meteorite of white limestone complete with fossil shells. It was reported on by Dr. Assar Hadding of the Swedish Geological Institute in 1939 who after a long investigation decided it really was a meteorite. The chief reason for so believing is that it is a WITNESSED FALL and you really can't get much better than that. However, he was widely regarded as whacky by the wise men of 1939 and (equally wisely) shut up about it for 20 years. Hadding was so discouraged by the reception of his earlier paper that, when he discovered another sedimentary meteorite, he threw it away! Only much later, when he realized that they could have been "Earthites," did he write about the two stones again. Nininger himself found a small sedimentary meteorite, on March 24, 1933, while searching for fragments of Pasamonte. The stone in question was a dirty grey limestone with fragmentary shell bits fossilized in it and sporting a black fusion crust. He ruled out an artificial origin for the crust but was unwilling to claim it was a meteorite, apparently not because he didn't think it was a meteorite but because it wasn't worth the noise... Frank Cross wrote about sedimentary meteorites at length in the journal "Popular Astronomy" (Vol. 55, 1947, pp. 96-102), citing Trevlac (Indiana) and Montrose (West Virginia), two independently discovered sedimentary meteorites with identical green glassy crusts. And so it goes... The whereabouts of most of the sedimentary "pseudometeorites" is unknown, not surprising considering their reception, so the sophisticated tests that could be performed today are impossible. There's a kind of self-reinforcing judgement at work in that. Two guys from the French Academy, flumping their powdered wigs, explain, "Foolish peasant! Ze sedimentary rocks from ze sky, zey do not fall," so we throw the evidence in the trash. Anybody on the List know what happened to Nininger's sedimentary find? Sterling K.

[meteorite-list] NP Article, 03-1977 Meteorites May Reveal New Clues
Paper: Indiana Evening Gazette City: Indiana, Pennsylvania Date: Tuesday, March 1, 1977 Page: 14 Meteorites May Reveal New Clues From Space WASHINGTON (AP) - Geologists studying 11 meteorites recovered in Antarctica, including an 898 pound blockbuster, say their find promises to yield important new scientific information, in part because the pace rocks appear to have plunged to earth at different times. The National Science Foundation said Monday that American and Japanese scientists found the meteorites, including one of the largest on record, on patches of old, blue ice in the Transantarctic Mountains. Scientists concentrate their antarctic meteorite hunts on blue ice locations because of the accidental discovery in 1969 of 992 space rock fragments in such an area. Dr. William A. Cassidy of the University of Pittsburgh said very old ice that has lost its snow cover has a bluish color. Cold and ice help protect the rock from erosion and chemical reactions that destroy meteorites elsewhere, he said. "Of the dozens of blue ice areas studied, only two yielded meteorites, said Cassidy of his recent discovery. "These two areas contain much higher local concentrations of meteorites than are found in the rest of the world." The latest meteorites were found between last Dec. 10 and Jan. 20 by Cassidy, Dr. Edward J. Olsen of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and Dr. Keizo Yanai of the Japanese National Institute of Polar Research in Tokyo. The find is significant not only because of the giant rock, but also because of the meteorites promise a variety of data since they apparently didn't fall at the same time, the geologists said. The meteorites ages and when they fell to earth are still unknown, they added. "These meteorite represent many different falls. We are getting a very nice cross section of what is falling on earth," Cassidy said in an interview. Cassidy said the large meteorite was found in 33 pieces - the largest fragment weighing 250 pounds - scattered over a two-acre area. The largest stony meteorite ever found is believed to be one weighing almost five tons unearthed two years ago in China, said the National Science Foundation. Meteorites are chunks of stony or metallic material from space that hit earth after flaming trips through the atmosphere. Scientists believe meteorites either are pieces of broken up planets or moons, or are bits of primary matter that never formed a larger body.Please visit, www.MeteoriteArticles.com, a free on-line archive of meteor and meteorite articles.

[meteorite-list] NASA Opens Kecksburg Docs
http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2003-10/24/12.00.sfc NASA Opens Kecksburg Docs Sci Fi Channel October 24, 2004 NASA has agreed to turn over documents relating to the alleged crash of a UFO in Kecksburg, Pa., in 1965, the SCI FI Channel announced. The news comes a day after SCI FI said it would pursue legal action against the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to release its records on the incident. NASA informed Lee Helfrich, attorney for the Channel-sponsored Coalition for Freedom of Information, that it is releasing 36 pages of documents, the Channel said. The release comes after 10 months of pursuing the records through the Freedom of Information Act. The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army have yet to release any records under similar requests, the Channel said. "For more than four months we have received no response from NASA, but one day after John Podesta, President Clinton's former chief of staff and member of the Moynihan Commission, and Bonnie Hammer, president of SCI FI Channel, called on government agencies to make public records that are over 25 years old, lo and behold, NASA responds," Helfrich said in a statement. "I think it's fair to say that we have truly entered the realm of science fiction in Washington, D.C., when it's fair game to disclose the identity of a clandestine CIA agent, but not the records of an unexplained crash in Kecksburg, Pa., that occurred 38 years ago," Podesta said at a news conference this week. On Dec. 9, 1965, witnesses described seeing a fireball in the sky, a controlled landing and the systematic military recovery of an object. The incident is the subject of the original SCI FI Channel documentary The New Rosell: Kecksburg Exposed, hosted by Bryant Gumbel, which premieres Oct. 24 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Visitors From Outer Space
http://www.abc.net.au/goldfields/stories/s973813.htm Visitors from outer space Irene Montefiore Australian Broadcasting Corporation October 24, 2003 Have you ever looked up to the night sky, seen a blazing object appear coming earthwards, and wondered where it came from? A new project will try and give you some answers. Dr. Phillip Bland is a researcher with the Royal School of Mines at Imperial College in London. He is in charge of a project with the aim of finding out the specific origin of the many meteorites that fall to earth. "Meteorite scientists are like regular geologists in a way," Phillip says slightly apologetic, "So you try and analyse the rock and work out its history and how it came to be. "Meteorites are great because they tell us about the very early years of the solar system and how planets are put together." Phillip further paints the picture as being "Kinda like working out the geology of WA after someone's dumped a random load of rocks in your backyard." The main tool is an astronomical camera. "(It) looks at the sky and looks at meteorite fireballs coming through the atmosphere. The idea is (that) if we get a few of these cameras out there, then we can work out what its orbit was before it hit our atmosphere, and where it lands on the surface. Maybe we can even say which asteroid it came from." As Phillip points out, the only problem with meteorites is that "You can't really predict where they're going to come in or what time. You just have to let the (camera) go. The camera senses when the sky is clear and then opens up and starts an exposure, we just collect all that film and process it and if we've got a good fireball then that was a good night." And that is the very reason why the research team have made a bee-line for the Goldfields. "You have such beautiful night skies," he rightly notes. For now, the exact locations of the cameras are hush-hush but Phillip promises that once everything is up and running people will be able to go and see how the whole thing works. It could even be an extra tourist attraction for the region. But, most of all, Phillip hopes it attracts the odd meteorite or two or three. "There have been camera networks running for about 50 years and they've only found four meteorites," Phillip laments. But he is confident that the Goldfields and the Nullarbor will bring him many sightings. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] 22-Kilogram Meteorite Found In Morocco
http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/377/11153_meteorite.html Meteorite of a Football Size Discovered in Morocco Pravda (Russia) October 24, 2003 The unearthly origin of the find is proved by its crystal structure A large meteorite has been discovered near the city of Oujda to the north-east of Morocco. Local mass media reported on Thursday that the meteorite's weight was 22 kilograms. The size of the meteorite is a bit less than a football. A geological center in Oudja has evinced extremely high interest in the find. A great part of the meteorite, about two thirds of it, is brown (when the find was discovered this very part was stuck into the surface; a smaller part of the meteorite is black, Russia's news agency ITAR-TASS reports. The unearthly origin of the find is proved by its crystal structure and slight oval-formed specks of iron and magnesium. Experts estimate that the meteorite dropped on the planet's surface not less than 10 years ago, but the exact period of the drop is to be determined after a thorough analysis. This analysis requires at least a year; after that the meteorite will be exhibited at one of the national museums for public expositions. All meteorites are divided into finds and drops; finds are such meteorites which falling was not observed. Their belonging to meteorites is estimated by the substantial analysis of their structure. Majority of meteorites in museums and private collections are discoveries. As stone meteorites can be mistaken for earth rocks, they often remain unnoticed. The percentage of stone meteorites among the finds is lower than among the drops. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Recognizing a Venusian meteorite
Considering that all the extrasolar planets we have found so far have been gas giants, and some in highly weird orbits to boot, maybe Earth _is_ an anomaly, astrophysically speaking. Of course, our means of locating smaller planets isn't as effective, yet. Possibly being smacked by whatever tore loose the moon (according to recent theory) was the best thing that could have happened to us -- for life formation, that is. Tracy Latimer From: "Sterling K.

RE: [meteorite-list] Tektites-Earthites
Zelmir, To me the very fact that there are no known Earthites, (other than Tektites) or any known 'venusites', (or indeed any meteorites of types not believed to be from asteroids/persolar nebula/mars/moon/and maybe mercury?) raises some interesting questions... Either, 1. The mechanism we believe that allows rocks to escape from Venus and Earth (i.e. larger planets with a thick atmosphere and high gravity) is wrong and they can't or don't get ejected very often at all. 2. or we have misidentified some of the Lunar or Martian or other rock types when in fact they are from other planet(s) (although this is unlikely) 3. or statistically we have not found them because we just haven't found enough meteorites yet (although we (mankind) have found quite a few now!). 4. or they look [very different] to what we are used to, and they are actually all around us! Personally I think that we still have a lot to learn about atmospheric rock interactions and particularly about ejections on planets like Venus, I mean a rock has to undergo two atmospheric 'meltings' to arrive here on earth. I'ts different with the Martian rocks because the atmosphere is very thin, that must make a big difference to the ejected rock 'yield'? Just my thoughts, Mark __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Tektites-Earthites
Mark, I believe it is well understood that tektites are of terrestrial origin (one, probably the most widely accepted theory). My remark was more subtle. Without having data on hand to check, I believe that a tektite is considered as a terrestrial (silica -rich or -enriched) material ejected (by some impactor) to the high atmosphere (stratosphere...), say several dozens of Km high and that then they "soon" fell down on earth again, not necessarily next to the impact site (example: Ries) in the usual well known form, shape, morphology, composition, characterizing most of the traditional tektites. How "high" and "how" soon? That might be the question. In other words, if this ejecta would escape the terrestrial gravity and be sent into space for a long time (dozen, hundred, millon...years?) and then, by chance, fall again down on earth, they could (should) be called "earthites". The question is: would they then have the same characteristics as our good old usual tektites ? Some crust ? or...? In any case, there is no reason that their core (perhaps also the outer rim) does not remain "melted" as in traditional tektites. Also: would the atmospheric friction damages have the same effect on their characteristics in both cases ? In the preceding post, my (provocative) question was: can our "good old usual tektites" be considered as "METEORITES from terrestrial origin"? I know that, following the traditional theories, they would not (necessarily) correspond to the current definition of a meteorite. But then I naively imagine that the distance (from earth, upon ejection) and time (spent in space) are more accurately defined so as to discriminate between "tektites" and these (so far hypothetical) "earthites". Note that I would love that tektites are once considered as true (terrestrial) meteorites. My collection would then be enriched by more than 300 "earthites" of which more than 10 unpaired... Oh, I also agree on two other points you mentioned: - "sedimentary earthites" should also exist and -"barrage of posts" in view...

Meteors from a given radiant are only visible if the radiant is above the horizon from that location too. Yes, meteors are visible all over the sky; but only if the radiant is above the horizon. And at 8:45 pm, the Orionid radiant isn't. With the radiant still below the horizon, the earth itself is between you and any stream meteors entering atmosphere. This means your piece of atmosphere is shielded from incoming stream meteors at that moment. Only when the radiant appears over the horizon, meteors from this radiant start to graze through the atmosphere above you. Orionids are only visible in the second part of the night.

I have resent, but in case you do not get my notification, hopefully you'll get it via the MetList. Just advising you all that I have the New Orleans fall for sale now - please email and let me know your requirements! thanks dave IMCA #0092 __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
