I'm surprised I never saw a comment about this. This guy's email did originate 
in Egypt. I figured it's a scam. Egyptian export is very strict. Where did he 
ever get the idea that he could find a partner here?

Matteo,

it's not that JPL could eliminate this person forever or close his
site.

I suggest you hire a lawyer and do it yourself, but I think that the
chances are not the best, actually. You could spend a lot of money with
little outcome.

DMS (Dutch Meteor Society) material on his sites,
and I have informed Marco Langbroek about this.

Don´t have words to say, what I´m thinking about

What is this 

As far as I remember I made no agreement with Ray
DeRusse other than to trade a sample of Takysie Lake
for some of his so called stellar grains.  I have
made no conclusion on these samples, nor at this time
do I intend to do any work with these as to ascertain
what they are.

No agreement, financial, scientific or otherwise was
implied in the transaction which was in 2002 before I
became disabled in Jan. 2003. As I remember it was a
simple trade for a questionable meteorite (stellar
grains) for a questionable meteorite (Takysie Lake)--
the question of both which is still in question.

Furthermore I am silent regarding this not to
protect the scientists. I don't know where that idea
comes from, and it is certainly not mine, I might add.

My silence is due to the fact that I am dealing with
major health issues.  I have very little time now to
deal with meteorites, the MetList or any meteorite
endeavors, so, that said, I am not even going to get
involved in this dispute.  Since my near fatal brain
illness, I am simply too ill to deal with such.

RE: [meteorite-list] Wilcox Playa (Arizona) Meteorite

2004-11-20 Thread MARK BOSTICK
Hello Bob (and list),
Bob noted: “..I made another WP find on 2004 March 07..”
Congratulations on another find Bob.
Bob asked, When was this find made?
I was not sure last morning when I made that web page. Since then I have 
talked with the finder, his wife and his brother, who was in town at the 
time of the find, in order to try to get a good date.  It was found in the 
fall of 2001.  The brother thought October, but I was not able to confirm 
the month.

Bob continued: ...If the ~72 gram stone was found prior to that date, it is 
WP 003, if found after that date, it will be WP 004 (again, assuming there 
are no other Wilcox Playa finds awaiting classification).

Would I be correct in thinking it is Dr. Jones who assigns the U.S. number 
names? As you know Bob (which means I am typing this for the rest of the 
group), In a normal United States findor I guess I should say, in normal 
meteorite finds not from high collection areas, whoever owns the meteorite 
will usually submit it for a name, providing a couple appropriate names. 
These names are then voted on by the Met. Soc. Board.

I remember you mentioned in an article a couple months ago (?) that any U.S. 
meteorite could get a provisional name whether classified or not, and you 
have implied that it is important for all meteorites to do such for 
chronological reasons.

I wonder about such as I own a couple meteorites found by your team members 
without name/numbers, which would make personal cataloging easier.

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick

Greetings List;
Matteo wrote an eamil to Steve Shoner asking him what is this? And Steve 
Shoner asnswered in part.

What is this 
As far as I remember I made no agreement with Ray
DeRusse other than to trade a sample of Takysie Lake
for some of his so called stellar grains.  I have
made no conclusion on these samples, nor at this time
do I intend to do any work with these as to ascertain
what they are.
This is not exactly correct. (I will find his emails ).I did make two 
trades with Steve, however I never asked him to test or determine what the 
stellar grains were in the slide, never. That has been determined and I 
sent them to him as a novelty and a trade. He sent me two samples of 
Takysie Lake and we determined that indeed one sample was consistent with 
the information in the MAPS article and the other was chemcially an augite 
rich lunar microbreccia. He sent me a long long email basically in distress 
saying he and Ninninger were convinced it was lunar but that the 
scientists in Arizona would not look at it again. Somewhere I have copies 
of these emails. But let it be known that we never asked him to identify 
anything for us. Why would ask him to do something for us that we can do 
ourselves? That makes no sense. Now having said this about this trade with 
Shoner, if any of you think that Mr. Shoner did not grab that slide and run 
to the lab to look through a microscope and examine the stellar grains, you 
are out in lala land. If you think scientists in Arizona have not looked at 
our material, you are out in lala land. No reasonable person and certainly 
no prosecutor is going to believe that our sample to Steve Shoner has been 
sitting idle somewhere.

As far as Badolotti recieving a lunar sample for free he's not the only one 
that has a sample. Matteo keeps harassing Badalotti and us and everybody. 
If Matteo wants a sample he can ask Francesco Badolotti and if Badalotti 
wanst to give him some that is OK with us. We sent a sample to Badalotti 
because of his devotion to the lunar science and the Moon, he deserves it.

Now to Dr. Tanuki or whatever you call yourself. You write;
What is this person`s point?  If he has scientific data? on his lunarand 
other material, why does`t he present it and be quiet instead of 
attacking scientists and their real research?  To attack Dr.
Rubin, the fine scientists in Texas, Mike Farmer, Matteo and Steve Schoner 
is counter-productive and completely uncalled for.

I don't know where you have been, but we have never launched an attack 
against anyone first. Some of the idiots on the list and there are many, 
have launched unwarranted attacks on us first. We responded with an equal 
measure of force. You're very right it is counter productive to attack 
scientists, if it is warranted.
If I have made claims against any scientist it is sustainable by a direct 
or indirect body of evidence and it is not a big secret that if you engaged 
in scientific misconduct fraud and abuse against us we're coming after you 
until we receive satisfaction. Because we are not going to allow abuses 
against us under some sort of cloak of authority, by a scientist. If I 
were them, I would come clean long long ago because now the Federal 
Government has a bigger clean up job to do and believe me they working on 
it and we are woking with them.

Finally to Matteo, an honorable mention, you need to get real about asking 
NASA, JPL, JSC or Alan Rubin, any scientist, or whoever to shut us down. 
Aside from server problems we are having, we're not going anywhere. The 
reason for this is that its too late for them. Based on the stack of 
documents I just sent out by a federal request. We are under the cloak of 
authority and protection by certain governmental agencies. The people you 
keep asking to help you would be better off finding a small dark, quiet 
corner, to pray.

photo n.14.why you not send a piece to Dr.Koratev for the analysis? 
Probably you have the terror he find your material is not lunar material, 
but its easy take a piece from a real lunar meteorite and send this and pass 
for a piece of the boggy creekand after exit its a real lunar 
meteorite
Last word, its good you take off the web page I have put in this list why I

Steve and all, indeed, a steal considering I paid far more for it.
I informed the list that one cent auctions were ending, and many took 
advantage of it, with most meteorites going at or below my cost!
Yet list members who consider such adds spam, have no problem going to my 
website and paying $6 gram for the same Allende you bought for $2 gram.
EBay is a great place, but right now a buyers market.
Don't forget that I loaded over $10,000 in meteorites to end on Tuesday, 
some spectacular meteorites from my private collection.

Just look at this sikhote-Alin!

[meteorite-list] Metsale.com - no end of auction fee this year

2004-11-20 Thread Bernhard Rems
Hi!

As you know, I have opened metsale.com a couple of days ago (you can
buy, sell and auction your meteorites there). A big thank you to all the
people who have already opened an account there.

Well, my intention is to give this site a good start. The more people
use it, the better the auctions will be. So I thought about an
additional goodie and came up with this idea:

Listing your items there has been been free from day one (no listing fee
like on ebay). And now, until December 31st, there won't be an end of
auction fee either. This means: you will get what you get. So: there is
no excuse anymore to NOT list some of the stuff you want to sell.
Everything is there: auctions, dutch auctions, reserve price and buy it
now function. Just like ebay, but for free :-).

Please go there, look at the auctions already running, register an
account and buy, sell, auction.

http://www.metsale.com


Bernhard

PS: Those signing up get a $10 bonus towards other functions on the
site, so you can experiment with highlighting, exposing your item on the
front page and much more without spending money.

 Greetings List;
 
 Matteo wrote an eamil to Steve Shoner asking him what is this? And Steve
 Shoner asnswered in part.
 
 What is this 
 
 As far as I remember I made no agreement with Ray
 DeRusse other than to trade a sample of Takysie Lake
 for some of his so called stellar grains.  I have
 made no conclusion on these samples, nor at this time
 do I intend to do any work with these as to ascertain
 what they are.
 
 This is not exactly correct. (I will find his emails ).I did make two
 trades with Steve, however I never asked him to test or determine what
 the stellar grains were in the slide, never. That has been determined
 and I sent them to him as a novelty and a trade. He sent me two samples
 of Takysie Lake and we determined that indeed one sample was consistent
 with the information in the MAPS article and the other was chemcially an
 augite rich lunar microbreccia. He sent me a long long email basically
 in distress saying he and Ninninger were convinced it was lunar but that
 the scientists in Arizona would not look at it again. Somewhere I have
 copies of these emails. But let it be known that we never asked him to
 identify anything for us. Why would ask him to do something for us that
 we can do ourselves? That makes no sense. Now having said this about
 this trade with Shoner, if any of you think that Mr. Shoner did not grab
 that slide and run to the lab to look through a microscope and examine
 the stellar grains, you are out in lala land. If you think scientists in
 Arizona have not looked at our material, you are out in lala land. No
 reasonable person and certainly no prosecutor is going to believe that
 our sample to Steve Shoner has been sitting idle somewhere.
 
 As far as Badolotti recieving a lunar sample for free he's not the only
 one that has a sample. Matteo keeps harassing Badalotti and us and
 everybody. If Matteo wants a sample he can ask Francesco Badolotti and
 if Badalotti wanst to give him some that is OK with us. We sent a sample
 to Badalotti because of his devotion to the lunar science and the Moon,
 he deserves it.
 
 Now to Dr. Tanuki or whatever you call yourself. You write;
 
 What is this person`s point?  If he has scientific data? on his
 lunarand other material, why does`t he present it and be quiet
 instead of attacking scientists and their real research?  To attack Dr.
 Rubin, the fine scientists in Texas, Mike Farmer, Matteo and Steve
 Schoner is counter-productive and completely uncalled for.
 
 I don't know where you have been, but we have never launched an attack
 against anyone first. Some of the idiots on the list and there are many,
 have launched unwarranted attacks on us first. We responded with an
 equal measure of force. You're very right it is counter productive to
 attack scientists, if it is warranted.
 If I have made claims against any scientist it is sustainable by a
 direct or indirect body of evidence and it is not a big secret that if
 you engaged in scientific misconduct fraud and abuse against us we're
 coming after you until we receive satisfaction. Because we are not going
 to allow abuses against us under some sort of cloak of authority, by a
 scientist. If I were them, I would come clean long long ago because
 now the Federal Government has a bigger clean up job to do and believe
 me they working on it and we are woking with them.
 
 Finally to Matteo, an honorable mention, you need to get real about
 asking NASA, JPL, JSC or Alan Rubin, any scientist, or whoever to shut
 us down. Aside from server problems we are having, we're not going
 anywhere. The reason for this is that its too late for them. Based on
 the stack of documents I just sent out by a federal request. We are
 under the cloak of authority and protection by certain governmental
 agencies. The people you keep asking to help you would be better off
 finding a small dark, quiet corner, to pray.

[meteorite-list] Was Elbert King...now Smithsonian on being territorial

2004-11-20 Thread MARK BOSTICK
(Try this again...sorry if you get more then one of this same e-mail but 
this message just doesn't want to post - Mark)

Hello Lisa King (and list),
Thanks for sharing your memories of your father with us.  Should you think 
of other little stories and would like to share them, I am sure that most of 
us would find it very interesting.

Lisa wrote, The Smithsonian was very territorial about meteorites during 
the late 60's and early 70s.

The Smithsonian was quite territorial with meteorites from at least 1932, 
when Edward Henderson became assistant curator and took over meteorites.  
Before Henderson, Merrill was in charge and he did not seem to have the 
interest in meteorites that his predecessor did  Merrill seemed more 
interested in seeing a meteorite was classified, published and that the U.S. 
Museum had a specimen.  After those actions were taken it didn't really 
matter to him anymore.

University professors fought over stones from the Iowa falls (1875 and 
1890), without competition from the national museum. And before 1932, 
several other large US meteorites where lost to museums overseas, such as 
the Mt. Joy meteorite, because of lack of interest in this nation.

I am not sure when Henderson retired, but I wonder how well it would line up 
with the Smithsonian's lost of territorial actions regarding meteorites.

I will note that Henderson and Nininger were able to form a relationship 
that helped each other out. At one time Henderson even organized a pricing 
structure, and got all the large meteorite collectors to agree on. This paid 
bottom dollar for finds from finders.  So I would not say Henderson was 
totally territorial. Perhaps, just controlling.

A nice Smithsonian Magazine article that has a lot of Henderson history and 
quotes can be found here:

[meteorite-list] Bob Evans Still Committing Fraud

2004-11-20 Thread Adam Hupe
Dear List,

This is a public warning to Bob Evans to stop using the NWA 1110 and NWA
1877 designations and meteoritelab descriptions.  I filed a blanket
complaint claim with ebay and found out that it is considered fraudulent to
use lab numbers that do not apply to your samples.  It is also against the
law to steal copyrighted descriptions. It took me weeks to explain to ebay
what is involved with getting numbers assigned to NWA meteorites.  I will
start pulling the trigger soon on this kind of fraud starting with Bob
Evans.  If ebay gets too many complaints the meteorite subsection might be
reconsidered (eliminated).  That is why I am posting this message publicly
to avoid continued contact with ebay.  Here are two of the many fraudulent
auctions Bob Evans is involved in:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=3239item=2287562058rd=1ssPageName=WDVW


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=3239item=2287562068rd=1ssPageName=WDVW

Consider this warning to edit your numbers and descriptions to reflect the
truth or I will report this fraud to ebay when I return tomorrow.  My
attorney gave me the green light to start pursuing these cases and I will
exercise my options.

Wishing everybody else the best,

You are such a friggin joke,

I really cant understand how you can publicly make such an ass out of
yourself.
How can you really accuse other people of such atrocities as you commit them
yourself?
Aren't you selling NWA 788 on ebay currently? Wasn't it Mike Farmer who had
that meteorite classified? Why is it justifiable for you ?

I've seen you sell other meteorites as well such as NWA 869.You didnt have
that one classified either, did you?
Why don't you need to have your samples paired?? ANSWER THIS
What was the source of your specimens? How do you know that they are indeed
what you say they are? You couldn't possibly have every sample analyzed,
could you?

Quit being such a hypocritical prick and bring on your attorney

 Bob,
 
 I am entitled to use the numbers you listed because we were the largest
 shareholders on several of Mike Farmers expeditions.  Are you telling us we
 cannot use NWA 482 which came from a Farmer expedition too?  I use the NWA
 787 designation not NWA 869 because it is the same material and it is
 official.  Why would I use the unofficial designation?

Mike,

If you got a shippment of meteorites from the Amgala strewnfield , would you
bother to have it classified or just sell it as Amgala ? Regardless of who
had the initial sample classified.

NWA #'s are not proprietary. I know that people such as Adam wishes they
were.

If you get a shippment from Morocco .. you trust your supplier. This
is something that will always be a problem. All we really can do is trust
the dealer we choose to buy from. Because god knows once the material is in
the hands of a moroccan dealer we really cant be 100% sure where they got it
from , unless we were there to pull it out of the sand ourselves.

 To clarify something that is obviously causing some problems in the

 NWA 788, 787, and NWA 482 are numbers that came from rather large or
 meteorites with hundreds of pieces bought during one of my expeditions.
 The Hupes and many other people have the right to those numbers.
 Now, there are other numbers being widely used without proper title (as Dr
 Grossman has stated publicly and with finality that people do not own
 numbers, but numbers are assigned to specific meteorite specimens and must
 not be used with other meteorites just because you heard or someone told
you
 it is the same).
 Let's all please stop this practice as it is really hurting our business
and
 hobby. Virtually every dealer including myself has been or is guilty of
 this, we are in the process of correcting the situation and to start
people
 MUST immediately comply or this will just spiral downward as we see
tonight.

 I perused eBay today and it is still rampant with sellers using numbers
they
 seem to have drawn from a hat. So please ask you seller next time you buy
 something, how they got that number, who it was assigned to and if not
them,
 just how they came to call it that.

Mike,

Ive sold samples to people who bought samples from both Adam and I. They say
that they are identical ( kind of hard for terrestrial rock to look
identical to Martian meteorites isn't it ? )
People on this list ( who care about this issue ) respect your opinion.
Im not asking you to classify it . Im merely asking you to report visual
similarity

 Well, I could easily make a judgment, but then it is going against the
 rules, and while I have done that before, the only way to clean up this
 disaster is to start living by the rules, and if you buy something through
 the mail from Morocco, it should be submitted.
 Amgala like I said in a previous email, is a fall, and like Bensour or
 Allende, deserves different treatment from NWA #s.
 Still, it is a tough call. I can say as a dealer and with some experience
 since I announced Amgala, I could identify it, but I cant reccomend that
 everyone who has owned a meteorite do it. There is no substitute for
 experience.

[meteorite-list] Very serious note

2004-11-20 Thread Michael Farmer
I hate to do this, but I have told so many of the meteorite community about 
my wife being pregnant. I was just so excited to be a father.
Like last year, my wife has lost the child again last week.
I would normally prefer not to post such sensitive material to the list, but 
this is the only way I can tell those I have shared with what has occurred 
in order to prevent anyone from asking my wife about the baby and upsetting 
her.
We are both certainly upset, so that is why I have been ignoring most 
emails.

Bob, I would be glad to, and I think that specific meteorite is a great 
example of the problem we are facing.
The Shergottite in question was widely distributed in Morocco, and many 
people got pieces of it. I sold under the name NWA 1068.
I am not sure how to approach this one, it is unfair for people to demand 
that every fragment of it be classified, as it would be a waste of time and

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite numbers...a different viewpoint

2004-11-20 Thread JKGwilliam
This current problem will fix itself when the supplies of African and Oman 
meteorites dry up.  Then we'll all be back to not-so-patiently waiting for 
new falls that never fall and hunting for individual stones and small 
strewnfields with always too few specimens.

 There will come a day when meteorite collectors will look back at the NWA 
era and refer to it as the proverbial good old days.  Fifty years from 
now, they will read the NWA stories and see the pictures of the thousands 
of meteorites, and they will be in awe.  And, when that time arrives, some 
of the people who regularly write to this list will be considered icons and 
revered historical figures; not too different than how we revere Nininger 
and his contemporaries today.  Collectors will whisper the names of 
Killgore, Farmer, Haag, Thompson, Carion, Hupe, Ward, Reed, New and many, 
many others.  They will covet their autographed books and brag about owning 
labels and meteorites from their collections.

Some of you guys might just become legends.
So, be careful what you write and say because you are becoming a part of 
tomorrows history.

I want my grand kids to think of you guys as heroes, so don't make me 
disappoint them someday when I have to tell them I knew some of you  before 
you became gentlemen.

Off my soap box now,

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite numbers

2004-11-20 Thread Adam Hupe
Bob,

It is very simple, send a type specimen to NAU or any other NomCom
authorized laboratory and I will recognize your material when the NomCom
assigns it an official NWA number.  Using the numbers NWA 1110 and NWA 1877
will never be acceptable because the material has already been voted on.

It is a simple matter, send in a type specimen and all the fragments.  The
fragments will be visually compared to the type specimen by a competent
scientist.  If a qualified scientist argues to the NomCom they are all the
same and the NomCom votes that this is ok they will all be assigned an
official number.  Every fragment in the NWA 1110 batch was looked at by Dr.
Irving, submitted to the NomCom and a number was assigned to cover the 118
grams of fragments, not a gram more.

I am not authorized to compare material and make official judgements and
neither is Mike.  All we can do is offer an opinion.  In the case of a fall
the NomCom rules are different.

Here is link to explain how you can make your unclassified and un-numbered
material official:

http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~glg100-p/Meteorite.html

If you are too lazy to follow through that will become your problem.  There
is no excuse for number piggy-backing and it is against NomCom rules.  If
you do not respect them you have no right to call your material anything
other than unclassified.

Growing ever more tired of repeating myself to someone who can not grasp the
simplest concepts,

Adam

 Damn, and I thought that this subject title was
going to be about that campy movie staring Ringo
Star!!! ;)

Is this the same guy who was caught growing
marijuana while living in a
cave?
Oh wait, that was the Frass Mars rock guy.
Give it time.

Adam,

I'll send you my address gladly off list. I'm very interested.

 Bill,
 
 What is your address so that my attorney, the same one I have had on
 retainer for nearly two decades, can send you an official statement in
 regards to the position we have taken.  I was planning on posting this to a
 web site but it has become clear that you want to become involved ahead of
 time.  I will authorize this Monday.  After you receive the statement I
 would like you to call him and then tell the List what is being done.
 
 I will forward the emails you have been posting publicly so he knows what
 kind of a person he is dealing with.  I can't understand the likes of you or
 Bob Evans and if there is a way I can help take out the trash, I will.  My
 attorney is fully aware of the dilemmas we are faced with.  Now your name
 will be brought into the mix.  You have earned this position.
 
 Regards,
 
 Adam

  Adam likes to make legal claims. I can't find a single instance that might
 bolster his statements. I understand meteorite law, the law of the meteorite
 community, but it just doesn't apply to reality.

Adam,

Are you happy now? You have my address. You already had it anyway if you keep 
any files of your sales. You sound more like Matteo every day. I realize you 
want more of everything but I don't understand your lemming approach.

Bill
