Re: [meteorite-list] Vesta meteorite???

2003-11-25 Thread Ron Baalke
 
   Greetings. While looking into some web sites on the
 4 Vesta asteroid, I came across this site. If you
 scroll down to the bottom of the page, they talk about
 the Vesta Meteorite. Ok, I might be missing something
 here, but I have never heard of the Vesta Meteorite,
 or seen it listed anywhere. I collect mainly eucrites
 now, so that is why I was looking up 4 Vesta sites.
 Can anyone help me with this one, or have an idea of
 the meteorite pictured? Thanks in advance!

It's Millbillillie. When the Hubble Space Telescope tooks
its best images of Vesta, the photo of the Millbillillie 
meteorite was included in the press release.

 Is there any actual strong evidence to support the theory that HED's come 
 from Vesta???

Yes. Specta between HED's and Vesta match up.

...is there any other asteroid matching with HED's too?

Actually, yes. There are at least 20 other asteroids that have specta matches
with the HED's.  It turns out though all of these other asteroids
are small, and they all have similiar orbits as Vesta.  So the conclusion
was drawn that these smaller asteroids are chips off the larger Vesta,
and Vesta is still the parent body of all of the HED meteorites.

[meteorite-list] H, L, and LL parent bodies

2003-11-25 Thread Jamie Stephens
List Members,

Speaking of parent bodies, I've seen references to the
H parent body.  Likewise the L and LL parent bodies.
David Weir writes

  [T]he H parent body suffered two distinct collisional
  events [...]  The H chondrites are a good spectrographic
  match with the S(IV)-type asteroids 6 Hebe, 3 Juno, and
  7 Iris.
For H, L, and LL chondrites, what's the evidence that each
group has a single parent body?  Or is the H parent body
shorthand for the collection of bodies that are the
sources for H chondrites?
For an HED, a Vestoid could be the source body, which
presumably has 4 Vesta as its parent.  In such a case,
4 Vesta would be the grandparent body -- the terminal
source.  It's odd reflectance spectra is (I think)
strong evidence for the singular (grand)parent body
conclusion in this case.  Call 4 Vesta *the* HED
primordial parent body -- or something like that.
In contrast, why rule out multiple primoridial H parent
bodies, each with similar compositions due to, say, origin
in the same, large nebular resevoir?  Are H/L transitionals
evidence agaist a singular H parent body?
Seems like the phrase H parent bodies better reflects
current knowledge than the phrase the H parent body.  No?

[meteorite-list] Rare Type Of Meteor Lights Up Sky Over New Mexico

2003-11-25 Thread Ron Baalke


http://www.thenewmexicochannel.com/news/2655776/detail.html

Rare Type Of Meteor Lights Up Sky

Sandia Labs Catches Object On Videotape

Nex Mexico Channel
November 21, 2003

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A lot of people saw it, they just didn't know what to make of it. 

A light streaked across the New Mexico sky about dusk Thursday evening. There were a 
lot 
of theories as to the cause of the flash of light, but the experts at Sandia National 
Labs 
said it was a meteor. 

Thanks to a unique camera system at the lab, the meteor was videotaped and experts 
have been
able to study what was a very remarkable sight. In the accompanying photograph, taken 
from 
Sandia Labs' camera, you see the meteor highlighted in a box.  The photo is a 
spherical 
image of the entire sky, with the horizon to the left ringed by city lights. 

Terry Connors had just flown his plane into Double Eagle Airport from Los Alamos when 
he 
spotted the meteor. 

It was quite amazing because the first thing we noticed kind of a bright flash, and 
then 
you saw the long bright trail of a meteor that you would normally see, but it was 
still 
daylight so you could also see the vapor trail that it left, Connors said.  Rather 
than 
just dying out, there was a bright green explosion at the end of the trail and then 
that 
was the end of the event, except the vapor trail stayed around for another 5 or 10 
minutes. 

As an Air Force veteran, Connors said he's seen a lot of meteors, but nothing like 
what he 
saw Thursday. But Sandia senior engineer Dick Spalding said he's confident that's what 
it 
was on the tape. 

It caught a meteor -- a thing that moved through the sky with the speed and direction 
that we generally associate with a meteor -- so we think that's what people saw, 
Spalding 
said.

[meteorite-list] Quest For Space Impact Riches

2003-11-25 Thread Ron Baalke


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3281611.stm

Quest for space impact riches
BBC News
November 25, 2003

Sites where asteroids struck the Earth millions of years ago may be the key to 
discoveries of new
mineral and metal deposits in the future. 

Some geologists believe that sudden, catastrophic impacts could have created some of 
the world's
biggest deposits - in an instant. 

Mineral exploitation currently occurring at impact areas includes the world's most 
profitable gold
mine, in South Africa, and a massive nickel and platinum deposit in Canada. 

On average I would say that one quarter of the known impact structures on the Earth 
have some sort
of deposit associated with them, Canada's Natural Resources Department chief 
scientist Richard
Grieve told BBC World Service's Science In Action programme. 

Of that quarter, maybe about half have been actually exploited, either in the past or 
currently so. 

Increasingly, some geologists are questioning the theory that the Earth's rock record 
changes slowly
over time. 

Many are now looking for evidence of where rocks have been shocked - which would 
indicate the
impact of an asteroid or comet. 

Impact lines 

The pressures required to make the textures that we're going to look at can only be 
made by impact of
something like a meteoroid or an asteroid or a comet, said Dr Adrian Jones, of 
University College
London. 

The keys to finding such sites are grains of quartz, which, under the microscope, have 
tell-tale
parallel lines that reveal if they were part of an impact structure, the area where 
an extraterrestrial
body struck the Earth. 

Dr Jones added that one recently discovered major nickel deposit in Russia - coupled 
with two other,
previous finds - suggested that some metals might come from the impactors themselves. 

It makes it rather interesting that two or three large impact structures are now 
associated with the
same association of nickel-rich metals, he stated. 

The idea from our modelling and our smaller experiments [is] that the impact crater 
itself may still
retain a mixture of materials, both from the melted crust and from the residue of the 
meteorite
impact that has been redistributed around the crater. 

That would contain a lot of nickel-rich metals and platinum-group elements. 

Gas creep 

Alternatively, it may be that the impact causes such massive, immediate change that 
minerals become
present in ways they otherwise would not have done. 

The disruption caused to the Earth's underlying crust can create the ideal conditions 
for the deposition
of minerals and hydrocarbons, geochemist Ian MacDonald of Cardiff University told 
Science In
Action. 

It's the excavation of the crater - the way that the rocks have been broken up and 
smashed - that has
allowed oil or gas to creep into that structure and accumulate there, for us to drill 
into and then tap
off, he said. 

Or it's been the way that the rocks have melted at the moment of impact that has 
allowed important
metals like nickel or copper or platinum to concentrate or segregate at the bottom of 
the crater. 

But the impact theory is not popular theory with everyone. 

Geologists have always viewed the rock record as something that changes very, very 
slowly, Dr
MacDonald said. 

These catastrophic events, for many of them, were difficult to accept, because they 
seem to be so at
variance with the slow change of geological time that generally happens. 

Ninety-nine percent of the time things happen very slowly.

[meteorite-list] Second Fireball Burns Through Sky - ABQ Journal

2003-11-25 Thread Matt Morgan
Second Fireball Burns Through Sky

By John Fleck
Journal Staff Writer
Another bright fireball streaked through the Albuquerque skies 
Sunday morning, caught on a Sandia National Laboratories research camera.
Sunday's fireball was likely brighter than one that attracted 
widespread attention Thursday evening as it streaked south-southwest of 
Albuquerque. But because it came at 3:52 a.m., when few people are up, 
there were no eyewitness reports, said Sandia meteor researcher Dick 
Spalding.
While Thursday's event was difficult to see because of light from 
the setting sun, Sunday's was easily visible on Spalding's video.
It was good and dark then, he said.
Spalding is awaiting more data to determine whether Sunday 
morning's event was a space rock or something else, such as space 
debris, burning up in Earth's atmosphere.
Spalding heads a group of researchers that runs a network of 
all-sky digital cameras that run day and night, hoping to catch the 
streak of light caused by a meteor or space debris as it enters Earth's 
atmosphere.
Even daytime meteors can be visible if they are bright enough, 
Spalding said.
By reviewing the video and calculating the path of an object from 
the different vantage points of multiple cameras, the scientists can 
determine the object's path through Earth's atmosphere.
The unique network currently has more than 20 cameras, Spalding 
said, including installations in Canada, the Pacific Northwest, 
Albuquerque, Las Cruces and El Paso.
Eyewitness reports suggest Thursday's event was high in Earth's 
atmosphere and far from Albuquerque, despite initial reports that the 
meteor might have come down near Rio Rancho. Spalding is investigating 
eyewitness reports from Grants and the Las Cruces area.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Impact Creates New Mineral

2003-11-25 Thread Ron Baalke


http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s997056.htm

Meteorite impact creates new mineral
Heather Catchpole
ABC Science Online (Australia)
November 26, 2003
 
A new mineral made by a meteorite smashing into the Earth has been found 
by Chinese researchers.

They said their discovery of a new form of chromite could teach scientists 
more about the strength of meteorite impacts and how deep in the Earth 
minerals are born.

Researchers led by Ming Chen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published 
details of the new mineral, which was formed at high pressure and 
temperature, in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National 
Academy of Sciences.

The new form of chromite is an ore of the metal chromium, which is found at 
meteorite impact sites as well as deep in the Earth's mantle, the layer of 
rock that sits directly below the Earth's crust.

The researchers found the new mineral in shock veins formed by the impact 
of the Suizhou meteorite on China in 1986. The shock of the impact created 
temperatures of about 2000°C and pressures like those at 600 kilometres 
below the Earth.

The researchers also made a version of the new mineral in the lab. They did 
this by using a laser to subject the mineral to intense heat while 
squashing it under a diamond anvil.

Researcher Professor Hugh O'Neill of the Research School of Earth Sciences 
at the Australian National University in Canberra, said the new find was 
interesting.

This potentially gives us clues to the orbital velocities of two bodies 
that come together to produce these shock collisions.

The researchers calibrated how the crystal form of chromite changed with 
increasing pressure, to create a kind of Earth-based barometer or pressure 
gauge. They said this could be used not only to gauge the strength of 
meteorite impacts, but also to gauge the pressure at which rocks formed 
over an important range throughout the Earth's mantle.

But O'Neill, whose team has synthesised a different, more magnesium-rich 
version of chromite, doubted the calibrations could provide a comprehensive 
depth gauge for rocks, saying that this was maybe stretching the results a 
little too far.

At depths equivalent to the pressures they are talking about you don't 
find this mineral. It reacts to form garnet, O'Neill told ABC Science 
Online.

Chromite is normally only found at depths of about 80 kilometres below the 
Earth's surface, where pressure is far less than the intense pressure 
created by meteorite impacts.

And under the shock conditions of a meteorite impact pressure is applied and 
released quickly, whereas in the Earth chromite is under continuous pressure 
for millions of years, O'Neill said.

Under natural conditions chromite was likely to react with other minerals, 
like magnesium and iron, to form a new mineral, he said.

Despite this qualification, O'Neill called the find rare, and said that 
the researchers would have the chance to name the new mineral.

NWA1292 Exceedingly Rare CO3.6 Meteorite

Northwest Africa 1292 (provisional), a CO3.6, Fa1-38, S1, W1 Ornans type
carbonaceous chondrite found 2001 in the Sahara desert.  Two stones where
found for a Total Known Weight (TKW) of 136 grams.  One of the two was sent
to UCLA who classified it as a CO3 with no subtype.  Another specimen was
sent to NAU who assigned a subtype of 3.6 based on similarities to
Warrenton, the only other CO3.6 in existence.  NWA 1292 is a fresh and
beautiful example of an exceedingly rare subtype so if you are into
collecting by type this may be your only opportunity to add a very fresh
CO3.6 to your collection.  For your perusal we included the provisional
separate entry submitted to the NomCom below:

with his special formula to prevent rust. The only rust that can be found on these 
beauts is on the crusted edges. Since these Campo slices are silicated and brecciated 
in rare form, I am pricing the few remaining slices that I have from $7.25-$8.50/gm. 
The slices found below are all that I have to offer and once they are gone, they're 
gone. All slices will come in membrane case as well. Shipping is $3.85 for USPS 
Priority Mail (or actual first class postage by request), and I do accept Paypal in 
addition to money orders and personal checks. Have a look and let me know what you 
think. First come, first served! Thanks!

[meteorite-list] Invasion of the Angry Galaxy Meteorites

2003-11-25 Thread Adam Hupe
It looks like man made meteorites are all the rage on eBay these days, this
nut has over a dozen listed with a few that even have bids on them.  The one
with the link below is the most angry looking Galaxy meteorite I have yet
seen!  It reminds me of that amoeboid creature with the spinning eyeball on
the movie Forbidden Planet.

This is the most angry looking one yet, kind of reminds me of the
psychedelic 60s.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2206448265category=3239

I have a feeling that the next type we see will be edible as some of these
look like they were made from cake frosting.

All the best,

Adam bored in damp Seattle
