Dear Cj  it is the first of September and time for the quarterly  
quarrels, rants, resignations, and rejoining ritual. or Q2R3R(Cue 
Squared aRe cubed aRe) event in NASA parlance.  Don't worry about it, 
what goes around comes around, literally.  It is especially bad this 
time owing to the need for political expression madness.  Everyone gets 
the idea that they have the only say on political punditism and feels 
compelled like a lemming to walk the gauntlet of political bashing and 
self flagilation they know their baited comment is going to elicit.  
Also hunting season is around the corner and many posters get early 
practice by shooting themselves in the foot.  Frankly they are holding 
the barrel towards the wrong appendage  but that is another quarrel I 
have and I'll save it that for the winter  Q2R3R.

IN fact I may leave the list just to see if I can remember how.  I need 
the Venician protocol in place before.  What is the Venician protocol?  
I need to invent 6 other names and have them on the list before I rant 
off in resignation.  All is go ruin now with these grievous surrogate 
political breast beatings.  I think  the 527 Group theskyisfalling.org 
is behind everything. Unsubscribe!!!  yeah  thats the ticket... I am

Re: [meteorite-list] Pasamonte magnetism

2004-09-06 Thread David Freeman
Dear MexicoDoug, and all;
I see the phrase "...man is it magnetic" used below.   I find that most 
folks use "magnetic" in meaning the rock is attracted to a magnet...and 
that is a non correct use of the word.  A magnet is magnetic, as is 
natural lode stone.  Car engine blocks although made of iron, are not 
magnetic. Hematite, magnetite (except for lode stone), and banded iron 
formation (iron ore) are not magnetic.
Could you clarify the use of "man is it magnetic"?

Hello Martin and all,

Nice experiment. I have two specimens for your database:

1. 100% crusted individual; oriented, 7 grams, Nininger #197.hh
2. a cut, crusted fragment, 6.32 grams

Neither one has the slightest attraction to a strong rare earth magnet
(circular 1" dia., 1/4" thick)

By the way, the above individual easily is one of the top five favorite
pieces in my collection :-)
(Actually today it lies at #3)

Looking forward to seeing how the results of your experiment turn out.
Sincerely,
Frank

Hello Marc, Frédéric, and List,
Here is what I've harvested during the last few minutes:
Cyrena Anne Goodrich, Lunar and Planetary

Invited Review - Ureilites: A critical review
(Meteoritics 27-4, 1992, pp. 327-352):
1) Nilpena contains clasts of carbonaceous chondrite matrix material.
  Detailed petrographic and mineralogic studies have shown that this
  material has close affinities to CI - and differs substantially from
  CM-matrix (Brearley and Prinz, 1989; 1992).
Frédéric, "close affinities to CI" would also explain why we do not find any
chondrules or relict chondrules in ureilites - there have never been any.
But, ... now look at this - it is from the same review by C.A. Goodrich:

  terrestrial fractionation line, rather than within the field of CI matrix
  compositions (Brearley and Prinz, 1992).
So the starting material may have been CI-   o r   CV-like. If it was

might really expect to find traces of chondrules or at least chondrule

Thanks for your response Bernd!
As far as CI are concerned, yes they have no chondrule and I did not think
of them before writing my e-mail. But then the oxygen-isotope study is
getting us confused... CV?...
As far as I know, there was no evidence of presolar diamonds existence. Am I
right or wrong? Should they exist, and should one find some in a Ureilite,
what can we expect then about the origin of those meteorites?
I know that some studies are on rails both in France and Japan about
Ureilites, so let's hope that they will bring some answers...

Hi Bernd and all,
I cannot help but be continually amazed that
people choose to leave the list rather than learn to
use their DELETE button. I just don't get it. When
one of these ridiculous rant exchanges occur, there
are TWO dead giveaways:
1) the SENDER posting to the list at that time
2) the wording in the SUBJECT box
Therefore, there HAS to be some sort of  motivation
to read these posts on the part of the person objecting
to them! IF YOU DON'T LIKE READING SUCH POSTS,
DON'T OPEN THE POSTS!
I have heard every possible objection to these posts,
and almost every objection has merit. What does NOT have
merit, given that READING THEM IS OPTIONAL, is why
anyone would subject themselves to them - then leave in
a self righteous huff - after they, themselves, had exposed
themselves by reading them! It's not like a flasher jumped
out from the bushes unannounced! The damned posts have
"WARNING!" stamped all over them from the sender and
subject! 
Its as though people at a party hear there is rotten food
at the end of the smorgasbord table, and they go down to the
end, fill their plate with the rotten food and eat it, and then
get all outraged, and declare they are leaving the party because
they were fed rotten food!
I DON'T GET IT.
There is a lot of food at this party, why eat the bad food
and then leave in protest???
Sure, one is exposed the first post or two, but then, by
sender and subject, one can simply bypass those posts until
the garbage storm passes.

[meteorite-list] Ain't it a s * h * a * m * e ? ? ?

2004-09-06 Thread Peanut ..
Hello All and whoever wants to leave,
I just wanted to say that the real shame here is that "somebody" here is 
letting this get to them. This is going to happen in ANY forum or mailing 
list. this person shouldn't punish or deny themselves the other information 
and conversation that is put out on this list.

You want fights, you should subscribe to a coin collecting mailing list. It 
makes these two look like best friends! I agree that instead of fighting 
over who's been where and how many times, they should both just get on a 
plane, fly to some local desert and have it out (Maybe they'll find a new 
meteorite while they are there). I have no problem with either parties, I 
buy from both and have had good, honest service as far as I can tell. That's 
the bottom line.

So just think about that before becoming some in the closet, ebay, meteorite 
collecting, hermit. It's really not worth it when you can just delete the 
emails you don't wish to read!

Thanks,
Cj

Hello Marc, Frédéric, and List,

Here is what I've harvested during the last few minutes:


Cyrena Anne Goodrich, Lunar and Planetary
Laboratory, University of Arizona

Invited Review - Ureilites: A critical review
(Meteoritics 27-4, 1992, pp. 327-352):

1) Nilpena contains clasts of carbonaceous chondrite matrix material.
   Detailed petrographic and mineralogic studies have shown that this
   material has close affinities to CI - and differs substantially from
   CM-matrix (Brearley and Prinz, 1989; 1992).

Frédéric, "close affinities to CI" would also explain why we do not find any
chondrules or relict chondrules in ureilites - there have never been any.

But, ... now look at this - it is from the same review by C.A. Goodrich:

2) CI-matrix clasts in Nilpena have an oxygen-isotope composition plotting
   on the extension of the Allende mixing line on the 17^O-rich side of the
   terrestrial fractionation line, rather than within the field of CI matrix
   compositions (Brearley and Prinz, 1992).

So the starting material may have been CI-   o r   CV-like. If it was CV-like, we
might really expect to find traces of chondrules or at least chondrule precursor
material.

Best wishes,

Bernd

Re: [meteorite-list] urelite origins

2004-09-06 Thread meteoriteshow
Hello,

I am not a scientist and therefore not able to analyse Raman data futher
than seing which type of mineral was hit by the laser beam. But I have also
heard that some scientits suggest that some diamonds in Ureilites could be
presolar, and therefore not necessarily formed by shock... Also, I wonder if
Ureilites were formed from carbonaceous meteorites, as we would still find
some chondrules, even very rare, which is not the case... Ureilites are
definitely achondrites.
Well I do not know really, and I also wonder. I know from Raman data
obtained on one Ureilite that we found, that diamonds are located most of
the time in areas of the meteorite where mostly graphite can be found, which
is quite understandable. But I do not know how the reason why some of this
graphite turned to diamond can be found within Raman data. Can you explain
to me with words as simple as possible, as once again I'm not a scientist!
Thank you very much.

2004-09-06 Thread Marc D. Fries
Greetings

   I've got a meteorite question.  Having seen enough Raman data to be
convinced that the diamonds in urelites are formed by shock
compression, I'm wondering - does anyone have an opinion on what sort
of meteorite they started out as?  They had to have been carbonaceous
meteorites of some sort to begin with, but the articles I've seen don't
seem to offer a clear picture of what they were like before they were
shocked.  CM, perhaps?

Yes, a strange day indeed.  It's not a full moon either is it?  Just

Joel), but "through the list archives only".  "I only signed up to stick

Has anyone been to the Soutpan crater near Pretoria in South Africa?
When I was a student pilot we used to fly over it, it was a strange
