[meteorite-list] Tschermak and Howardites - Part 1 of 2
TSCHERMAK G. (1885) Die mikroskopische Beschaffenheit der Meteoriten (Stuttgart E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagshandlung, E. Koch, 23 pp.). English Translation: The Microscopic Properties of Meteorites, Vol. 4, No. 6 (Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics, Washington, D.C., 1964). Translation by J.A. Wood and E.M. Wood Howardites (1) Research to date places the meteorites Maessing, Luotolax, Bialystok, Le Teilleul, Nobleborough, and Frankfort in this class. Of these, the first two have been most thoroughly studied. Luotolax has a tuffaceous texture. Greenish-yellow, white, and black fragments and grains, as well as small fragments of eucrite, are embedded in a loose, earthy groundmass. The meteorite as a whole has the character of a volcanic tuff, in which various minerals which do not normally occur together in the same rock appear side by side in irregular fragments that seldom display crystal outlines. Among the transparent minerals, I was able to distinguish three anorthites, four augites, and bronzite. Anorthite in the small eucrite fragments has the same character as that in Stannern. In both occurrences the anorthite contains minute glass inclusions of the same form and distribution. The plagioclase which occurs in non-eucrite fragments may be exactly like eucritic anorthite, or may contain large dark inclusions of glass or groundmass, or may be almost devoid of inclusions. The augite in the eucritic fragments is also identical with that in Stannern. It sometimes occurs as brown grains having black striations and cracks filled with black material, but usually as yellow granular augite with a finely lamellar structure. The abundant augite fragments and grains mingled with the stone's groundmass include the two types already described and also a third variety, greener and with a fine lamellar structure. Many of these grains are twinned; others contain numerous needle-shaped black inclusions in parallel array. A fourth form of augite appears as large, very pale brown fragments without lamellar structure. Bronzite occurs in large, very pale greenish fragments almost devoid of inclusions. This constituent is easily recognized by its parallel extinction and its system of parallel cleavage cracks. These yellow-green grains had previously been taken for olivine; I noted they have the cleavage of bronzite. As further proof of this identification, the mineral (powdered) was found not to react with concentrated hydrochloric acid. A few small fragments in the groundmass, as well as some fine-textured polycrystalline fragments rich in black grains, seem to me to be olivine. The dark grains and fragments visible with the naked eye consist partly of this polycrystalline component and partly of fine-grained to cryptocrystalline eucrite such as occurs in Stannern. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] The best part of this hobby!
Hello list members! I am a meteorite hobbyist, not a professional in any way, shape or form. Just someone who has grown to truly love this hobby. I first got interested in meteorites via my son's interest in astronomy and space in general. I, not knowing at the time that you could EVEN OWN a meteorite, found a Dalgety Downs on Mike Farmer's ebay listings. This was in the early days way before Gold Basin and Morocco ever happened on the scene. Well, I bid on the meteorite for my son, won it, and the rest you can guess. It has been a truly wonderful experience and a new lease on life for me ever since. I have been able to spend many wonderful weekends out in the desert with my son doing something together that we both found that we love so very much, hunting for these very special rocks and getting so excited TOGETHER when we would find one. The times that I got to spend with my son are truly priceless and I would not trade those times for anything. I have even been so very fortunate as to be able to go to Oman and hunt meteorites WITH my son! A truly incredible experience! My son's name is Devin by the way, a more wonderful and special son, I could not imagine. Many of you may know him personally or have seen his posts to the list. I am twice blessed to have two very special sons! Even though the meteorites themselves are a world of fun to find and collect and own, I just wanted to say that I have found over the years it has been the people that I have met that have been the real treasures in this crazy hobby. I treasure the friendships I have made, and would not trade a single one of them for all of the meteorites you could possibly own in a lifetime! I am absolutely sincere when I say this. I just met Mike Miller of Kingman. A true gentleman and a man of impeccable integrity was my very first impression when we met. I am certain that any of you who know Mike personally would agree. Mike drove seven hours from Kingman to trade some meteorites with me. And then he turned around and drove another seven hours just to get back home. The meteorites are very nice, but I found that I very much enjoyed getting to talk with this man for the short time we had together and realized once again, that this is what it is really about for me. The people, not the things. I look at meteorites as things, a common matrix that we all share which serves to bind us, the chondrules together. For me, it's the people I love, not the things.

Re: [meteorite-list] The best part of this hobby!
Dear Sappy Jack, Like you, I too enjoy the people just as much as the meteorites themselves. Some of my best friends in the world have come from the meteorite community and I look forward to our time in the field together like a kid looks forward to Christmas. I met Mike Miller a few weeks ago when he and his hunting partner Ruben were in the Phoenix area on business. Not only are these two guys first-class people, but they're also dedicated and gifted meteorite hunters. Devin is lucky to have a dad and a friend like you. Actually, you're both very blessed that you can share a common hobby that allows you to spend time together. Best, John Gwilliam At 04:58 PM 4/4/2004, Jack Schrader wrote: Hello list members!

[meteorite-list] Why haven't we heard about this?
I have a copy of the "Wellesville Daily Reporter", April 18, 1883. From the front page: Fort Worth Texas, April 16: "A dispatch from Williams ranche (sic) says that at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, a meteor fell in the outskirts of town, killing several cattle, and destroying the dwelling of Martinz Garica, who with his wife and children were buried beneath the ruins. The meteor resembled a massive ball of fire, and the shock was similar to that of an earthquake. The meteor is still hot and steaming. It is embedded in the earth probably 100 feet. It towers above the surface seventy feet, and will cover about one acre. The concussion was terrific. Nearly every window in town was shattered, and the people were hurled violently from their beds and the goods in the storehouses thrown from the shelves. No lives were lost so far as known, except the Garica family, although several buildings fell. The cattle fled in every direction. The air was filled with sulphurous gas, and the wildest excitement prevailed. This is the largest meteor that has ever fallen, and has already been visited by many people. It has occasioned great excitement all over the surrounding country." http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/wellsville.jpg GregoryJ.

This was in the early days way before Gold Basin and Morocco ever happened on the scene. Well, I bid on the meteorite for my son, won it, and the rest you can guess. It has been a truly wonderful experience and a new lease on life for me ever since. I have been able to spend many wonderful weekends out in the desert with my son doing something together that we both found that we love so very much, hunting for these very special rocks and getting so excited TOGETHER when we would find one. The times that I got to spend with my son are truly priceless and I would not trade those times for anything. I have even been so very fortunate as to be able to go to Oman and hunt meteorites WITH my son! A truly incredible experience! My son's name is Devin by the way, a more wonderful and special son, I could not imagine. Many of you may know him personally or have seen his posts to the list. I am twice blessed to have two very special sons! Even though the meteorites themselves are a world of fun to find and collect and own, I just wanted to say that I have found over the years it has been the people that I have met that have been the real treasures in this crazy hobby. I treasure the friendships I have made, and would not trade a single one of them for all of the meteorites you could possibly own in a lifetime! I am absolutely sincere when I say this. I just met Mike Miller of Kingman. A true gentleman and a man of impeccable integrity was my very first impression when we met. I am certain that any of you who know Mike personally would agree. Mike drove seven hours from Kingman to trade some meteorites with me. And then he turned around and drove another seven hours just to get back home. The meteorites are very nice, but I found that I very much enjoyed getting to talk with this man for the short time we had together and realized once again, that this is what it is really about for me. The people, not the things. I look at meteorites as things, a common matrix that we all share which serves to bind us, the chondrules together. For me, it's the people I love, not the things.

Re: [meteorite-list] Why haven't we heard about this?
Gregory and All, The reason you have not heard of it, is because it did not happen. http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2003-March/018369.html Best, Ken http://home.earthlink.net/~magellon/news1.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a copy of the "Wellesville Daily Reporter", April 18, 1883. From the front page: Fort Worth Texas, April 16: "A dispatch from Williams ranche (sic) says that at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, a meteor fell in the outskirts of town, killing several cattle, and destroying the dwelling of Martinz Garica, who with his wife and children were buried beneath the ruins. The meteor resembled a massive ball of fire, and the shock was similar to that of an earthquake. The meteor is still hot and steaming. It is embedded in the earth probably 100 feet. It towers above the surface seventy feet, and will cover about one acre. The concussion was terrific. Nearly every window in town was shattered, and the people were hurled violently from their beds and the goods in the storehouses thrown from the shelves. No lives were lost so far as known, except the Garica family, although several buildings fell. The cattle fled in every direction. The air was filled with sulphurous gas, and the wildest excitement prevailed. This is the largest meteor that has ever fallen, and has already been visited by many people. It has occasioned great excitement all over the surrounding country." http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/wellsville.jpg Gregory J.

Thank you "Proud Tom" whoever you are. Definitely an award winner and worthy of being added to the other collectible humor in my "favorites files". Truly a work of art. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] re: Why didn't we hear about this?
(OK, OK, in retrospect I suppose I should have posted all this a few days ago, on April First! Just trying to lighten things up a little, after a pretty difficult list-week) In answer to the question I posed in the original subject line.the only part of the front-page 1883 story I didn't quote was the first paragraph, consisting of these two sentences: "The following from yesterdays' associate press dispatches, would, but for a single reason, attract the attention of scientific men the world over. The reason is there is absolutely no truth in the story:". I suppose we can only liken this to the tabloids today, with their "Three-headed baby born to Margaret Thatcher, Proud Tom the father?" headlines. At least this story admits to be being fictional, right from the git-go. http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/wellsville2.jpg GregoryJ.

[meteorite-list] Re: proud tom: serious retort
Dear Proud Tom; Fred Hall, of Meteorhall Cartoons here, with this short retort to Big Steve's reply to the latest Proud Tom site. With sad but fiercely earnest emotion, I must request that Proud Tom continue with his ZANY and IDIOTIC postings. Why sad? Because I now realize that my single box cartoons will never match up to the colossus humor generated by the eight nutty pages of the infamous Proud Tom. Why zany? After reading the the recent Proud Tom posting, I laughed, I cried in my beer, and I didn't get the correct answer to the Meteorite List Quitter or Sitter question number two ( At least I didn't pick answer number three.) However, I now realize that I must continue creating cartoons about meteorites and the people that love them. Proud Tom, now see what what you have gone and done? Why idiotic? Well, Mickey Mouse started off as an idiotic idea. After all, a mouse that wears clothes and talks and drives around with a buddy named Goofy, well, sounds idiotic, but look where it got Walt! Now I'm not comparing the genius of Walt Disney with the creator or creators of "Proud Tom Meteorites", as they MUST be idiots! Why else would they spend so much time on making meteorite collectors and scientists laugh? Pure and simple idiots. I hope they do as well as Walt did. Regards, Fred Hall
