[meteorite-list] Campo Del Cielo
Hi List, Hope everyone had a great & wonderful Thanksgiving and ate as much as possible ..I have a problem here, I have a "Giant Campo", here it weighs about 171 to 176 lbs., and is basically way too much meteorite for me these days (hard to move around) anyone interested in trades or making a decent offer contact me off-list to discuss a proposal and transport. I would like a Campo, but only one around 10/20 lbs range, even smaller would be fine. Here's a link to my store to see this monster, http://www.stores.ebay.com/exoticcollectables Thanks, Tim Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now

Hello List, Dremmel makes a small diamond cutting wheel. They cost about $15 but I bet they would work nice. Thanks, TomPeregrineflier <>
[meteorite-list] Impact crater symbol for Garmin GPS
Hi all How about if we all asked Garmin about adding a symbol we could used for making waypoints for impact craters in our GPS units? I mean there are symbols for allot of different things, but no useful ones for craters. Maybe even a symbol for meteorites? I have tried to make them make a symbol for botanical localities, without luck, so I thought if we were several people who asked, maybe we would succeed... Best wishes Lars Pedersen

Hullo, To those who are interested I am selling 1.3g of New Orleans on eBay - due to limited supply (!) this will probably be the only time I will be putting such a large amount of this material in one auction instead of the mono-granules that I may be putting out in the future!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3239&item=2206768066 Again, apologies to the Metlist for the eBay intrusion best regs dave IMCA #0092 __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
FW: [meteorite-list] Cutting Meteorites
A tip for cutting small meteorite slices (Chondrites) with a Dremmel tool is to use a thin cutoff wheel and paraffin. Take an old candle and cut into it while the wheel is spinning, then alternate a little bit of cutting the meteorite and cutting into the candle. It works miracles. (you need a nice small vice as well and a pad for your arm at the same level so that you can work accurately) -CharlyV -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mark ford Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 4:58 AM To: Tim Gingell; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] Cutting Meteorites Tim, Drimmel cutting bits don’t tend to cut very well on rock they basically ‘chip their way through’ , but you can cut small slices/micro’s with some success. Better for cutting is a bench top ‘tile cutter’ (avalible from shops like B&Q and Tool stores) they cost about £25 and work (Iv’e used one) they even have coolant tanks. There is a bit of cutting loss due to the width of the blade, but on a cheap weathered NWA or something It’s not a problem.

Thanks Tim
