Hi Meteorite List Group, Mark is still on vacation, so I will try to post some of his later newspaper transcripts. Sorry, about that last posting, Mark sent the e-mail before he left, but I didn't see it show so I posted it a couple times till it didthen later the others came through. PDF files are available for all the newspapers posted today upon request. Simone Niccol www.meteoritearticles.com Paper: Atlanta Constitution City: Atlanta, Georgia Date: Sunday, March 15, 1911 Page: 3 SHOOTING STAR ADDED TO MUSEUM Meteorite Loaned to State by Jasper County Citizens There was added to the state museum last week as a loan a very interesting celestial visitor in the form of a shooting star or meteorite. It was obtained from Messrs. Park and Hunter, of Jasper, Ga., and was picked up by Clark Thompson, Sr., about five years ago on his farm 10 miles southwest of Jasper, Pickens county. The specimen, together, with a lot of other minerals, was sent to the state geological survey about two and one-half years ago, when it was identified by Professor McCallie, state geologist, and described in Science November 26, 1906. It has been named the Pickens county meteorite. When first sent to the office of the state geologist, the meteorite weighed 14 ounces and was roughly cubical in shape and had the appearance of being a part of a larger piece. Five of the faces of the irregular cube showed comparatively fresh surfaces, while the sixth side was more or less oxidized and showed a somewhat pitted condition, as if it was an original surface. In color and texture it closely resembles a dark, massive piece of furnace slag. The chemical analysis shows that this meteorite resembles somewhat closely the following heretofore described meteorites, Long Island meteorite, Kansas; Bluff meteorite, Texas; Shelbourne meteorite, Ontario and the Bjurbole meteorite, Finland. The chief difference between the Pickens county meteorite and the ones here named is the high percentage of titanium present in the Pickens county meteorite. The principal minerals in all of these stones are here given in the order of their relative importance: Silica, alumina, iron, sulphur, nickel and sodium. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] NPA 07-27-1930: Paragould Meteorite Article
Paper: Helena Independent City: Helena, Montana Date: Sunday, July 27, 1930 Page: 2 Iowa City, Iowa, July 26. - An 820 pound stony meteorite that fell near Paragould, Ark., is the largest meteoric stone ever recovered nearly intact, Dr. C. C. Wylie, professor of astronomy at the University of Iowa, says. The large stone is now in the Field museum of Chicago. When it fell it seems to burst into three pieces, at a height of about five miles. A second piece, weighing about 80 pounds has been recovered, and a third piece may yet be discovered. The large stone struck in a pasture and went down in rather stiff clay to a depth of a little over eight feet. When it burst, it produced an explosion heard over a great area. The only larger stone meteorite was one that fell at an unknown date at Long Island, Kans., which weighed more than 1,200 pounds, but which broke by striking on a rocky ledge as it fell. Many iron meteorites are much larger. The biggest in a museum is one which Peary discovered in Greenland. It is now in the American museum of Natural History in New York and weighs 36 1/2 tons. A still larger one was discovered a few years ago in South Africa, but has not been removed from the site of its fall. Still larger, probably, was a meteorite, or, more likely, a swarm of them that fell in Siberia in 1908 and produced an air wave that was recovered on a barometer in England.

Paper: Nebraska State Journal City: Lincoln, Nebraska Date: Saturday, August 21, 1948 Page: 1 N.U. May Get Part of Record Meteor Found on Kansas Farm By the Associated Press It appeared late Friday night that a portion of an anchondritic meteorite which has been discovered near Norton, Kas., will go to the University of Nebraska. In Palo Alto, Calif., Miss Helen Whitney, a teacher in the public schools there, said it does not make much difference to her who gets the meteorite fragment. She owns the farm on which it plummeted to earth. MISS WHITNEY said the announcement as to who will receive the fragment would be made by her attorney, B. F. Butler of Cambridge, Neb. I was very interested when my tenants phoned me a couple of days ago to tell me about the discovery., she said. But I didn't think much about it until I received later calls indicating that several scientists were interested in obtaining the fragment. I couldn't go back there at this time, so I merely turned the matter over to my attorney, who will announce the disposition. IN CAMBRIDGE, Butler announced Friday night that the fragment would go to the University of New Mexico and the University of Nebraska jointly. He declined to say upon what the decision was bases, but said representatives of the two universities would issue a statement Saturday. Two University of Nebraska geologists who had a hand in locating the fragment were reported returning to Lincoln Friday night. They are Prof. E.F. Schramm, chairman of the geology department, and C. Bertrand Schultz, associate professor of geology and director of the university's museum. Dr. Lincoln La Paz of the University of New Mexico, one of a group of scientists who found the meteorite, announced the discovery. THE FRAGMENT is 39 inches long and wide and about 10 inches thick, Dr. LaPaz said, and weighs about 1,000 pounds. It still is at the bottom of the eight-foot deep crater it plowed into a field when it fell to earth. A heavy wooden fence has been erected around the crater to discourage the curious. Dr. LaPaz said he did not when the fragment would be removed nor who will gain possession of it. An anchondritic meteorite is composed largely of white and fragile stonelike particles with a sprinkling of pea-sized bits of nickel. Dr. LaPaz said it has considerable scientific value. SEARCHERS reported finding the meteorite crater near Norton earlier this week. It fell last February on a farm owned by Miss Helen Whitney, a teacher in the Palo Alto, Calif., schools. The meteorite dug a hole five feet across and eight feet deep. Dr. LaPaz said a legal check is being made to determine whether the fragment belongs to Miss Whitney or to tenants on the land, who discovered it. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Paper: Daily Gleaner City: Kingston, Surrey, Jamaica Date: Thursday, July 16, 1931 Page: 19 Discover 13 Craters Made by a meteorite. Geologists Ask Australian Premier to Protect Site For Further Investigations ADELAIDE, Australia, July 10 - The Commonwealth Prime Minister has been asked to set aside as a reservation the site along the Fink River, in Central Australia, where thirteen large craters, caused thousands of years ago by a huge meteorite, have been discovered. The site is in Federal territory and the Prime Minister is being urged to take action to prevent its being despoiled by visitors. Scientists are interested in the discovery, on which a report was presented to a meeting of the Royal Society last might, and a party of university scientists soon will make further investigations. Three of the craters are larger then the biggest caused by the Siberian meteorite twenty-three years ago, and the largest is second in size only to the Canyon Diablo in Arizona. The craters range from 220 to ten yards wide, and more than 800 meteorite fragments are scattered over the surrounding country. They weigh from a few ounces to fifty pounds and consist mainly of metallic iron and nickel. The discovery followed reports received by Professor Grant, who with Sir Douglas Mawson arranged a fortnight's investigation by two geologists, Messrs. Alderman and Winzor. They state that the crater, in which trees are growing, are greatly reduced in size and depth as a result of erosion, but that the largest is fifty feet deep. The impact of the meteorite was so great that it generated melted rocks in the vicinity. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

The purchase price was not disclosed. Dr. Lincoln La Paz of the faculty of New Mexico university annouced Saturday the two universities obtained the specimen in spirited bidding Friday. Dr. H.H. Nininger, director of the American meteorite museum, Winslow, Ariz., was the opposing bidder. This was the largest of more than 1,000 meteorite fragments recovered from a fall last May 18. Dr. La Paz said the excavation of the 1,000-pound fragment at the bottom of an eight-foot crater, would be completed late Saturday. It will be sent to the University of New Mexico, he said, where it will be sliced with a diamond bit, with half going to each university. - Thanks, Simone Niccol www.meteoritearticles.com __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Alien Microbes Could Survive Crash-Landing
Dear List, Back in 1999 it seemed to me that in order for there to be no life having ever existed on Mars one of two conjectures, or both, must be true. 1. It is absolutely impossible for viable spores to be transported by any natural process from the Earth to Mars (No Free Ride Conjecture). 2. There was never any environment on Mars that could have supported a positive growth rate for such organisms if they did get there. (Killer Mars Conjecture) Since 1999, recently, the Mars rovers have shown that the Killer Mars Conjecture is false. And the work of Burchell et al as described is evidence that the first conjecture is false also. Even if Burchell's mechanism is improbable, that won't do, as there have been billions of times matter has been exchanged between the planets due to impacts. There are plenty of chances in 4 billion years. The odds need to be vanishingly small. I'm leaning toward the minority who think that ALH 84001 has biomarkers. Although most of the biosignal in ALH 84001 can be produced abiologically, it can also be produced biologically, and in light of the two conjectures above being false that interpretation seems more reasonable.

Bacteria could survive crash-landing on other planets, a British team has found. The result supports to the idea that Martian organisms could have fallen to Earth in meteorites and seeded life. Bugs inside lumps of rock can survive impacts at speeds of more than 11 kilometres per second, say the researchers [1]. The work also shows that bacteria could survive crashing into icy surfaces such as Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede. The possibility that Earth's first life came here inside space rocks - the panspermia hypothesis - was proposed in 1903 by the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius. But the painful landing has always been a stumbling block. Mark Burchell and his colleagues at the University of Kent, Canterbury, have put panspermia to the test by firing lumps of porous ceramic infiltrated with bacteria into targets. During impact, the bacteria are crushed by up to a million times atmospheric pressure. A few years ago everyone said we were crazy, says Burchell. They knew it wouldn't work. But in 2001 he and his colleagues showed that soil bacteria can survive a high-speed impact into soft gel [2]. Most of the microbes died, but enough survived to make panspermia possible, provided that the bugs don't have to travel too far: they would probably be sterilized by cosmic rays and UV radiation during a journey from another solar system. Crushing blow But the researchers didn't know whether the pressures generated in their experiment were comparable to those of a meteorite impact. Nor did they know how different microbial species would fare. To find out, the team used a gas-powered gun to fire bits of ceramic, between 0.1 and 2 millimetres across, into targets of gel or ice. The projectiles were loaded with cells or spores of the soil bacteria Rhodococcus erythropolis or Bacillus subtilis. At similar pressures to those that would be suffered inside a meteorite as it crashed, around one in every ten million R. erythropolis cells and a few in every hundred thousand B. subtilis survived when they hit the gel. A gram of terrestrial soil typically contains a billion bacterial cells. The survival rate for an ice target was about ten times higher, so Burchell and colleagues think that it's not just Earth and Mars that could have swapped life. The icy moons of Jupiter, for instance, at least one of which, Europa, has a sub-surface ocean of water, could seed one another. Or a planet could re-seed itself if, as some have suggested might have happened on the early Earth, a massive impact wiped out all life. References 1.. Burchell M. J., Mann J. R. Bunch A. W.

Re: [meteorite-list] Alien Microbes Could Survive Crash-Landing
My contention is NOT that such a transfer is impossible, especially over billions of Earth years. But I think it extraordinarily unlikely that the infant Mars could---in the first 300 to 500 million years of solar system formation---evolve a hearty population of anaerobic bacteria (capable of surving for millions of years in the hostile extremes of space migration) and then seed life on Earth by whatever means, while our planet was still an infant, as well. I think the evolutionary window is just too small for all this conjecture. On the other hand, it DOES seem that life appeared on this planet fairly suddenly---contaminating Earth, as it were, like a particularly nasty swimmer diving into a sterile swimming pool. To me, anyway, it would seem more likely that our entire young solar system may have been contaminated with older and more complex organic materials from an extrasolar source---in other words, all life seeded pretty much simultaneously, IF indeed we find evidence of life elsewhere in this system. Just two cents worth.
