But a page with maps, pictures, documentation, to present them fully. And it is finally done. . Just go to:www.IMPACTIKA.com/discover.htm and take a look. Only 3 meteorites are presented there at this time, Bluebird, Karon and Majuba004, but I certainly hope that they will get plenty of company very soon. And I invite all of you, Meteorite-Hunters with a brand new discovery sitting on the coffee table, to contact me. I'll help you get it classified if it has not been done yet, and I will help you sell it. Meteorite hunting is an expensive hobby, you need to get some income from it to be able to keep on looking, and (better yet) to keep on finding. As usual, any questions and comments are welcome.

[meteorite-list] Nakhla Dog Website Updates
Hello all - I have made quite a few updates to my website for those who may have a moment to browse, perhaps finding a use for that income tax refund. The Catalog page http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog.htm has been updated with: Mbale individuals with field photos http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/mbale.htm Weston fragments http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/weston.htm New Orleans custom riker frames http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/neworleans.htm Very well priced unclassified achondrites - $4 per gram for larger ones, $5 for smaller http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/unclassach.htm Nantan Crystals - when dynamite meets meteorite http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/nantanxls.htm A new batch of Canyon Diablos http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/canyon.htm The collection page has been updated with new photos added if you want to see some of my specimens not for sale http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/collection.htm And the shortsighted, overlooked gear page has some items of interest. A small link at the bottom of the page just doesn't this area visited to often but there is some neat stuff. http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/gear.htm The contest page is still offering a free meteorite prize for those who solve it completely, HTML hunting is fine but that's only half of it, there are clues to solve. Definitely a challenge and source of frustration for some more than others. http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/golden-ticket.htm And finally, I have eBay items ending today, many large pieces all started at a buck. http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPageuserid=nakhladog BIG FAT AD, but have some fun poking around if not in a buying mode. While the site is low on the educational end, I have put quite a bit into human interest and photography...and I hope you find enjoyment in it.

Re: [meteorite-list] Final announcement of The 29th Symposium
Hello David-san, I appreciate your link to the Antarctic Meteorite Research #16 (NIPR) papers that you provided to the List some time ago, I was previously unaware of this online resource. I have also found the 2004 papers from this link by changing the numbers. Am I correct in presuming that the 29th Symposium will result in the ARM #18, available later online? Maybe, but, it will be published in AMR no.19. AMR #18 has already been published. AMR is the publication for the papers submitted to the Symposium on Anterctic Meteorites held at NIPR every year, as annual publication. I presently read papers published in MAPS and GCA and the abstracts from the MetSoc and LPSC conferences. I compile much of the relevant information onto my website meteoritestudies.com, perhaps you've visited this site before? Can you tell me how I may possibly purchase a copy of the International Symposium - Evolution of Solar System Materials, from September 2003, or access the published papers somehow? These 83 papers are listed in the AMR #17 but are not accessible, and I'd love to be able to read them. Please let me know if this is possible. All the proceeding (PDF) papers of this Symposium, like LPSC-style, were opened in the NIPR web until last year, but, regrettably, now closed. AMR #17 is not the same publication as this proceedings. So, you should ask about the Proceedings to Dr. A. Yamaguchi whose address appears in the end of the Final announcement of the Symposium. By the way you can get the papers of AMRs from #4 to #16 through ADS. http://ads.nao.ac.jp//bib_abs.html#top where you should fill AMR in Journal Name/code field along with Volume number 4 - 16, that you want to browse, in Volume field. You can also accsess AMR #10 - #18 in NIPR website. http://yamato.nipr.ac.jp/AMRC/EN/index1.html Sincerely, K.

[meteorite-list] Hidden Treasure
Good Morning List, Dean, A few monthes ago my brother and I made the short drive to Dean Besseys 'cross the river, where we spent all our pennies on different treasures of the world, stockpiled in Deans humble apartment. It was great, lots of meteorites, fossils, old coins, a lap machine for polishing, we were definately like two kids in a candy store! We bought the lap machine as well as some examples of the items mentioned above. After haveing the lap machine at home for a while I was polishing some slices when one of them got away and was lodged under the lap wheel where I could not reach it. I had to tip it on its side to get the slice to fall out, and when I did this there was a little surprise. A 3.72 gram end cut of an unidentified meteorite was hiding under the lap wheel! Obviously a left over remnant from another persons day of meteorite labors. Was it Deans? Or did he leave it there for me as a freebie to be found at a later date just because he's a nice guy? Or did it belong to the guy that he bought the machine from? What kind of meteorite is it? Am I the rightful owner of this small treasure? Or do I need to do the right thing and see if Dean wants it back? Of course he can have it back if he wants,(small polishing fee of $45.00 of course) but is this a good case for Finders keepers?! Would it be different if the slice was lunar vs. an OC? I'm offering it back to him of course, but what would you do? What if you found a slice of an anomolous martian hiding in there? Just a friendly survey! I haven't told Dean, I thought I would have some fun with it first! I need some help identifying it. It's a really cool stone, not quite like any I'm familiar with. There is hardly any attraction to a magnet, what little metal there is, is in round beads. There are some very well defined chondrules and some blown out ones, and there is a really odd inclusion that I would like some opinions on. It's a sort of yellow gold color with black stripes, you'll know which one when you see it. http://community.webshots.com/album/354985092HCtnUp Also, I was asked to write a Franconia field report for the IMCA website. I want to thank Ken Newton for putting it together so well, excellent job Ken! It can be viewed here; http://imca.repetti.net/metinfo/fieldreports.html Rock On!

[meteorite-list] DIFFERENT SOURCE SALE
Slight delay in my leaving so another sale put together today. This sale is unusual. Except for the four non meteorite items listed everything is new material that I got friday. About two months ago somebody in morocco sends me an email saying that they have meteorites for sale. I have no idea who this is and am well aware of the many scams going on in morocco so I just say that I will pay this much and send them if you want figureing that I would never hear from them again. However, friday, a box of rocks shows up in my mailbox. I am no idea who I actually bought these things from but they camne from morocco and I have a bank account in morocco to wire money to next week. Wish more moroccans would do this to me. I have not cut any of the meteorites in the box and have no idea what the insides look like. Not a single rock is something from a strewnfield that I recogonize as paired with other things that I have seen. But these are new and from a different source than I normally get my meteorites from. The first 5 show very little signs of magnetism (But is not completely non magnetic and you will find them slightly magnetic so they are not shergotites). Sale page here: http://www.meteoriteshop.com/sales/r1sale204-258.html 20% off anything of interest. Please paypal me today if at all possible as I have to get these out monday morning or you will be two weeks before I mail them. Sincerely DEAN __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Meteorite-list] re: Astroids associated with meteorites
Hello List, I read within the past several months a section of a book which associtates various meteorites with their supposed parent body. I can't remember the book title.

Re: [Meteorite-list] re: Astroids associated with meteorites (McSween)
Hello Jerry, You probably are thinking of Meteorites and Their Parent Bodies 2nd Edition by Harry (Hap ) McSween, Jr -- whist not assisting on the Martian projects is from my alma mater, the Univ. of Tennessee @Knoxville. (IMHO) until the Nortons came along with Rocks in Space and subsequently the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites, Parent Bodies1st and 2nd eds were the best available modern text on meteorites. McSween, as I recall, compared albedos and specific spectra from various asteroid families with those of various classes of meteorites to associate them with their parent bodies. You'll do well to add this reference and used versions are on Amazon now for under $10. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0521587514/002-2622076-9595205?v=glance Regards, Elton Gerald Flaherty wrote: Hello List, I read within the past several months a section of a book which associtates various meteorites with their supposed parent body.

Greetings Dear Listees: As mentioned here some weeks ago, I am offering for sale some quality pieces from my personal collection to help fund upcoming meteorite expeditions. These expeditions will be covered in my continuing series of adventure articles for Meteorite magazine. I have selected a number of meteorites which I find to be interesting or unusual for historic and aesthetic reasons, including a few really nice oriented pieces. They are all part of a special Memorial Day sale. I will donate 10% of all sales (including pieces reserved) up until midnight tomorrow, U.S. Pacific Time, to the U.S.O. -- a fine organization which helps attend to the humanitarian needs of American soldiers serving overseas. Their site is well worth a visit: http://www.uso.org Even if you're not shopping, don't miss the oriented Sikhote.
