Re: [meteorite-list] Buried Treasure - Even Better
OK, I can't handle it any longer, to me this is just as exciting as a fall! Another List member, Steve Drummond and myself have already booked flights. A waybill to treasure is just too tempting regardless of type whether it be extraterrestrial or pirate.

[meteorite-list] Ad - Weekly Rare Material Special
Dear List Members, This weeks special is NWA1281, a rare Howardite achondrite found in the Sahara Desert 2001. A single stone weighing 468 grams is all that there is of this beautiful and rare meteorite. NWA 1281 is very fresh (W0) and displays huge black melt clasts(some 30-plus mm), something we have never seen in a Howardite before. These melt clasts consist of re-crystallized orthopyroxene (Diogenite) material and are very striking in appearance. This Howardite is one of the most interesting to come out of the desert and has been under study for more than three years. No pairings have shown up in the last three years so it is a safe investment. To see NWA 1281 please click on the link below and go to "Go see all current items for sale by this member." The weekly rare material specials are always listed last so you will have to go to the bottom of the list. http://members.ebay.com/ws2/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=meteoritelab ** Stay Tuned*** We just got the green light from scientists to announce an extraordinary find which we will try to release next week. This new meteorite will push the limits of knowledge and is bound to be a classic among scientists. It is a one-of-a-kind, never before found, therefor it will be extremely difficult to describe in non-scientific terms. Its importance can not be overstated so stay tuned. ** True bargains can always be found on our ebay auctions because there are never reserves and most items are started out at just 99 cents.

Oops, sorry Zagami, I also apologize to Shergotty. Now, how can I make good for my "faux pax" ...? Well, I'll tell my meteorite buddies (and ladies) about my very first Martian meteorite. I hope my Zagami slice accepts my apology :-) I got my 0.5-gram, wafer-thin platelet of Zagami from Rolf Bühler of the Swiss Meteorite Laboratory about 10 years ago when we were still cooperating (we - that was Beat Booz, Rolf Bühler and myself) and offering our WinMetCat database for sale. I had attended the Zürich Mineral and Meteorite Show where Rolf offered and sold all kinds of meteorites in a hotel room. Having spent all my money on some of his specimens, there was not one cent left to buy this little Martian beauty. But I still got it - Rolf was then selling wrist watches with a Gibeon dial plate and sorely needed both an English and a French translation of his commercial ad. My chance: I offered to do these translations and as a recompense I got my 1.0 x 1.0 x 0.1 cm platelet of Zagami from him :-) Best wishes, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday or Fallday LUMPKIN
Hello again, ... and best wishes, Bernd Just in case you should be lucky enough to own a piece of the LUMPKIN, Georgia, H6 chondrite, which is unlikely though: HENDERSON E.P. et al. (1966) Meteorites in Georgia (Department of Mines, Mining & Geology - Reprinted from Georgia Mineral Newsletter IX-4, Winter 1956, pp. 126-142): Lumpkin, Stewart County This stony meteorite, a hypersthene chondrite, weighed 12 1/4 ounces. It fell October 6, 1869 on land owned by Captain Elbridge Barlow which then was located about twelve miles southwest of Lumpkin. It was picked up a few moments after it struck. Willet, 1870, quotes Captain Barlow as saying, "... while standing in the open yard, the sky being bright and clear, he heard first a succession of about three explosions, followed by a deep roaring for several seconds, and then by a rushing or whizzing sound of something, rushing with great speed through the air nearby. The sound ceased suddenly. The noise continued from first to last about half a minute. Two Negroes were working near by the well in the sarne yard, about sixty yards from where Mr. Barlow stood. They heard the noise and supposed it to be the falling in of the plank well curbing, banging from side to side in its descent, and so spoke of it to one another before the meteorite fell. While they were speaking thus about the noise, the meteorite fell and struck the ground about 20 steps from them, in full sight knocking up the dirt. They called Captain Barlow and showed him the spot. It was upon very hard trodden ground in the clean open yard. The earth was freshly loosened up very fine in a circle of about 18 inches in diameter, and upon scraping the loose dirt away with the hands the stone was found about 10 inches below the surface. From the direction in which the ground was crushed in it must have come from the northwest and at an angle of about 30°. The stone when picked up was covered with black shell ... The stone still has a strong odor. He does not remember that it had any noticeable heat." Willet's account mentions that the sound of this fall was heard over considerable area and cites an instance of noise being heard 18 miles away. J.L. Smith, 1870, said that this meteorite contained about 7 percent Ni-Fe and the metal contained about 12 percent nickel. Also, that troilite made up about 6.10 percent of the meteorite and that silicates, (pyroxene, olivine and feldspars) about 86.9 percent. The descriptions of this stone are not sufficiently complete to identify it. Since the samples in the collections are small, it is unlikely that a comprehensive study of this meteorite will be made. According to Willet, 1870, a specimen of the Lump- kin stone was given to Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, but we have been unable to verify if this sample is preserved. Specimens of the Lumpkin stone are in the following collections: Mineralogical Museum, Harvard, 53 grams - Cambridge, Mass. U.S. National Museum, 29 grams - Washington, D.C. AMNH, 24 grams - New York, N.Y. Chicago Museum of Natural History, 3 grams - Chicago, Ill.

Hello List, Well, yesterday MexicoDoug announced the 54th anniversary of the Monze L6 chondrite. As it happens, I received a beautiful 2.31-gram slice of Monze a few days ago from Michael Cottingham. It has crisp, fresh, black fusion crust on two edges and contains an interesting but weird-looking dark clast which may be due to shock-darkening. He also had a sizeable chunk of Monze on EBay but this one is gone. Congratulations to the lucky (and surely happy) buyer ! Monze is a beautiful FeNi-rich meteorite and specimens are available for example from Anne Black or also from Eric Twelker. Especially Eric Twelker's #MON493-2 specimen will surely make your mouth water: Anne Black's specimen can be viewed at: http://www.impactika.com/ Go to birthday meteorites for Oct 05 - there you'll see a 53.24-gram slice.

Paper: Nebraska State Journal City: Lincoln, Nebraska Date: Friday, February 20, 1948 Page: 1 Vapor Trail Followed Fireball; Meteor Expert Seeks Fragments RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) Crews of two B-29 planes said Thursday there was a vapor trail behind a "ball of fire" before it exploded Wednesday in the sky somewhere near northwest Kansas. The fliers first saw the fireball, trailing vapor, while 10,000 feet over Limon, Colo. They estimated its location as 100 miles southwest of their position, and its altitude as much higher than planes. Capt. Howard B. Berodt, Bernnett, la. and 1st Lt. Leonard P. Marchese, New York City, piloted the ships. They gave their account after returning to their base at Weaver field. Rapid City, S.D. The fliers saw the ball of fire explode. An hour after the explosion the cloud of smoke was still visible, high above the planes. The fliers fixed their position at the time as "directly east of McCook. THE EXPLOSION, believed to have come from a meteor high above the Oberlin, Kas., area, was observed in Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Colorado. It led to numerous reports of aircraft disasters. Oscar Monnig, secretary of the National Meteorological society, said at Fort Worth, Tex., he felt sure the fire ball was a meteor disintegrating. The fiery object was first seen near Colorado Springs, Colo. traveling eastward at great altitude. As it exploded in the Oberlin area, windows were shattered and residents reported a red ball exploded "in a fiercely brilliant white flash." DR. H. H. NININGER, director of the meteor crater observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., left Thursday for Kansas to attempt o find meteor fragments. C. L. Jacoby of Norton, Kas., Telegram, said excited residents phoned that the explosion was "of atomic proportions." He said there was no damage in the area, altho windows were rattled.

Paper: Holland Evening Sentinel City: Holland, Michigan Date: Thursday, February 19, 1948 Page: 5 Exploding Meteor Felt in Kansas Norton, Kan., Feb. 19 (UP) - Authorities said today they believe a terrific explosion high in the sky over Kansas last night was caused by a meteor which blew up when it entered the earth's atmosphere. Concussion from the blast broke windows, rocked buildings and terrified residents over a wide section of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The meteor left a smudge of bluish-white smoke extending across a wide segment of the sky just before it exploded about 5:01 p.m. No one appeared to have seen the actual explosion. There was no flash. The explosion terrified thousands of people across the three-state area. Many believed their houses had been hit by trucks. Dozens of windows were shattered. M. R. Krehbiel, editor of the weekly Norton County News said the meteor apparently exploded over the town of Noreatur, Kans, 16 miles west of here. Be estimating the angle from the earth to the point of explosion, he decided that the meteor blew up about 30 to 35 miles above the earth. "It was just about the most exciting thing that happened around here in a long time." he said.

Paper: Waterloo Daily Courier City: Waterloo, Iowa Date: Thursday, February 19, 1948 Page: 1 Fire Ball Over Six States Believed Bursting Meteor Kansas City, Mo. - (AP) - Observers Thursday sought further explanation of a strange "ball of fire," possibly a disintegrating meteor, seen in six states. The brilliant explosion thousands of feet in the air was observed in Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Colorado Wednesday. Oscar Monnig secretary of the National Meteoralogical Society said at Fort Worth, Tex., he felt sure the fire ball was a meteor disintegrating. Directors A. W. Recht said there was "no meteor showers and no other known phenomena in the sky to explain it." At the University of Nebraska, professor of astronomy Oliver C. Collins said "it might very well have been a meteor." After the flash civil aeronautic and state highway patrol officials received reports of flaming plan crashes from widely scattered points. All reports proved groundless. Newspaper offices also received numerous calls from observers: C. L. Jacoby, editor of the Norton (Kan) Daily Telegram, said a number of callers asked excitedly if an atomic bomb had exploded. The explosion, Jacoby reported, rattled windows in a 35-mile area in northwest Kansas. He said it occurred at 4:50 p.m. CST. C. W. Sulton, a Stillwater, Okla. airport employee described the flash as "about the size of a large bucket with a six or eight foot tail." M. B. Farrell, Gering, Neb., said he saw an object "like a ball of fire" fall in a meadow five miles west of Kimball, Neb. He was unable to find the object when he stopped his car to investigate. A large white cloud was visible in the sky for an hour after the flash, some observers said.

[meteorite-list] Genesis Solar Samples Arrive at Johnson Space Center
http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/news/releases/2004/J04-040.html Donald Savage Headquarters, Washington 202/358-1727 William Jeffs Johnson Space Center, Houston 281/483-5111 D.C. Agle Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. 818/393-9011 NOTE TO EDITORS: #J04-040 GENESIS SOLAR SAMPLES ARRIVE AT JOHNSON SPACE CENTER October 5, 2004 Scientists are optimistic that samples of the Sun that arrived in Houston on Monday will provide important information on the history and origin of the solar system. Following an extensive recovery effort since its Sept. 8 impact at a Utah landing site, the first scientific samples from the Genesis space probe arrived at NASA's Johnson Space Center late on Monday, Oct. 4. Media are invited to view the Genesis sample shipping containers at JSC at 1 p.m. CDT Wednesday, Oct. 6, before they are moved into the specially constructed Genesis Laboratory. Media wishing to attend should contact the JSC newsroom at 281-483-5111. Personnel involved with the curation of the Genesis samples at JSC are available for interviews today, and video of the Genesis arrival at Ellington Field will air on the NASA Television Video File today. Still imagery of the arrival at Ellington Field and JSC is available on the internet at: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/news/genesis.html The quantity of material recovered from Genesis will be determined by further study at JSC. The samples are the first extraterrestrial matter returned by a U.S. spacecraft since 1972, when the last moon rocks were carried back to Earth by Apollo astronauts. Over the coming days, the samples, numbered and packaged in separate carrying cases, will be moved to the Genesis clean room where they will be preserved and protected. Samples will be distributed to scientists to study over the coming months and years, beginning with members of the Genesis Science Team.

[meteorite-list] A Nininger Moment #19
List, Sorry for the double post but format problems between me and the list cause the type to go in a less than desirable positioning. I'll try this and see how it works. --AL Success And Failures Hunting Meteorites Along with many new found meteorite finds were hundreds of failures that came with the success of meteorite hunting. Nininger stated that with the discovery of new meteorites came the glamour in the minds of many persons that sat on the sidelines watching his adventures. Nininger often had offers from people to help in his quests from both friends and acquaintances. Nininger stated that his success rate seem better than they really were from the stand point of going out and hunting down the many leads he was presented with. Many times a backer (investor) of a lead would not be rewarded with a return on his money. Meteorite finds have been more rare than discovery of comets in the sky. Consequently any new meteorite find was often considered a news worthy event by the press. However the many fruitless efforts that plagued his days were not so well known. Nininger stated that they never attempted to keep the failures secret, but the newsmen didn't deem them something to publish. Nininger was also not anxious to have each and every failure publicized as they out numbered the finds by many times, the successes were far and few between the failures. Nininger always warned his investors of the chance that no rewards would come about when he check out a lead. Nininger's proposition was they would provide the cash outlay for the trip (often he would check out several leads at a time to make his efforts have a better chance), he would provide the knowledge and time to track the leads down. Any finds were divided up 50/50 between the investor and Nininger. Having people invest in his quest for new meteorites was an important part of Nininger's efforts, especially in the early days of his enterprise to track down leads. Although he often came up empty handed an investor who had faith and invested several times was often reward sooner or later as Nininger tracked down his leads. As he became better at the effort he was able to better judge which leads would pan out and which wouldn't. Checking out multiple leads was always economically wise and often lead to other lead and sooner or later new finds. The Nininger Moments are articles or books written originally by Harvey Nininger and put into a consolidated form by Al Mitterling. Some of the items written in the moments might be old out dated material and the reader is advised to keep this in mind.

[meteorite-list] New meteorite book
Hello to the List. As some of you know, I'm writing a book about French Meteorites. The title should be "Les Météorites françaises - Guide pratique" (in english : French meteorites - Practical guide) The good news is that it may be released before Christmas, making it a nice gift for any meteorite collector or scientist. Also it's in French, it might be of interest for any meteorite collector, including english-speaking people. For example, I'm not a german-speaking man and like to get old german documents (like Chladni's articles) about meteorites. What will be included in this 460 pages book ? - beginner's guide (for anyone beginning in meteorites collecting and hunting) - complete and detailed classification - how to recognize a meteorite ? - all french meteorites (finds or falls, including the latest, Plancy-l'Abbaye and Alby-sur-Cheran) with unique pictures never seen before, old documents, old and latest analysis, museum distribution, bibliography, some maps. Unique old documents which may lead to new meteorite finds in France ! - all french meteorwrongs - most of the french observed meteors or observed falls never recovered (with hints to find them maybe !) - french meteorite or pseudo-meteorite craters - glossary - useful websites - complete Jean-Baptiste Biot text about the L'Aigle fall (1803) I think this book will become a classic most of you will want to own in their library or meteorite collection ! Just write me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to be contacted when the book is released (possibility to order it on the web). Price should be reasonable.

RE: [meteorite-list] New Nebraska meteorite a mystrey
Dear List, I saw the article and photo that my mother sent me from the Sidney, NE newspaper and laughed. Pictures sometimes say more than words. Meteorite-NOT! One time I drove in Colorado for two hours to see the "meteorites" that appeared under a farmwife`s favorite trees. Asphalt!!!; the road maintenance people had chunks to get rid of off of the road (obviously, her trees were the logical solution).
