Unfortunately Ken your prices its many over the prices
request now...the unique good price I have see its for
the cold bokkeveld, the all others its all high
prices, ask over $2000 for 2 slices of angrite, when
on ebay this its sold for $200/gr., its a high

why is impossible sale for high prices now, but the

Dear Tom,

After reading this crap I think you should call father Merrin for a check
up!!
I know about myself i don't post that much on the list but reading this
rubbish i just have to respond. How can you ever judge someone's
situation. If you were in great need of money, would you still like to
sell your meteorites which you bought with hard earned cash for cheap?
Besides, the man NEEDS cash to support his family. I remember a great
support action from list members a while ago for someone who needed
financial support to. These folks understood how hard life can be.
I suggest you come back with new reactions on posts like this when you are
more mature. If you think the prices of the offered meteorites are to high
it's fair enough. Just respond to this in a decent and mature way.
Get another hobby!!

Regards,
Jan

[meteorite-list] MUNICH - FRIDAY, How to get there & hints

2005-10-24 Thread Martin Altmann
Hello list,

just back from a internetless (sorry) 3 weeks' trip, I found several mails,
asking, how to get to the Friday evening cometogether.
First of all, no panic, I'll be there on the show already on Thursday,
trying to shake hands with everyone (and perhaps dristibuting plans, how
tofind it) and anyway last year more or less all, who wanted to come, met
after the show to share cars and cabs to get there.
As some regrettably sent a revocation and as I learned from last year, there
will be enough places left also for those, who want to join in last minute
(just give me a note).
Lazy or buzy as I am, I'll recycle my last year's mails from the archives
and, Sergej, you're great, even the maps you set online still exists under
their old addresses.
Let's see, what I have to modify.

So on Friday we meet after the show in the "Fliegerbräu".
A minute brewery with Bavarian and other food and no umpah music.
It's in the nearby village Feldkirchen. (Were also some of you have their
hotels).
The address is:

Flieger Bräu
Sonnenstrasse 2
85622 Feldkirchen
http://www.fliegerbraeu.de/
(pronounced: fleagerbroy)

Marked with the red "1" in the plans.

http://sv-meteorites.jodoshared.com/plan1.jpg

and
http://sv-meteorites.jodoshared.com/plan2.jpg

As all what I try to mark dissapeared, when I changed it to pdf,
some orientation:

Plan1:  The fair areal is the large rounded, orange blob to the left,
rimmed by the streets named:
Paul-Henri-Spaak-Str. /  De-Gasperi-Bogen / Willi-Brandt-Allee.
Most parking places are to the East - there inside De-Gasperi-Bogen and to
the North, below Paul-Henri-Spaak.
So just exit and go East (right) - there is no other road.

The bus terminal and the subway station is there were the vertical road,
which divides the areal is meeting De-Gasperi-Bogen.

Plan2:  The bus stop will be there on "Münchner Strasse", somewhere between
"Eschenstrasse" to the right and the yellow road.
Or you may go a station further, it's on top at the brown train symbol
(there stops the suburbian, if you will come from town) and walk down
"Sonnenstrasse" - it's equidistant.

I reserved places from 18:30hrs on (show ends always at 18:00 for visitors)
and I will be there somewhat earlier.

Until now there are on my list:

and many more (as probably the Hmanis, Tomerelli, perhaps again The
man.).

So it will be nice.


How to get there:

By car:

I marked the route in plan1 but it dissapears, whenever I try to save
it..wuaah.

There are two possibilities to exit the parking places.

Here a map of the fair areal. Click on the right plan on bottom.
http://www.mineralientage.de/1_MM_start/2_Welcome_E/3_01_E_Besucherservice/4_01_2_E_Anfahrt/4_01_2_E_Anfahrt.php

If you leave to the North:

Just turn to your right and follow the street. (Paul-Henri-Spaak-Str.)
After ca. 1km you will cross the large highway and after 300m more you will
enter the village
"Feldkirchen" (yellow traffic sign).
Carry on. After 1km, on the left there branches off the "Sonnenstrasse".
Directly there we are.
It's just behind a yellow hotel, called "Zur Sonne".

If you leave the parking places to the South:

Just turn to the left, follow the street (De-Gaspari-Bogen), which makes a
bow. Turn into first possible road to the right, then like above.


By bus:

At the fair exit "Messestadt Ost", at the subway station, there is the bus
station.
Take Bus N° 228  direction "Ismaning".
Exit the bus at the third station:  Feldkirchen Münchner Straße. (takes 5
minutes).

Cross the street, follow the street, it's the main street of the village.

All,

I couldn't resist playing off the fantastic Franconia
announcement.  Hats of to Asher, Baird, and Ortega!

While trying to replicate their luck at the Majuba,
Nevada find area, I recovered what I think may go down
in history as the smallest Majuba granule likely to
ever be recovered.  With a maximum dimension of about
4 mm and a weight of about 0.5 gms, this one is
really, really small.

[meteorite-list] Little Chondrules and Giant Impacts

2005-10-24 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/Oct05/chondrules_impacts.html

Little Chondrules and Giant Impacts
Planetary Science Research Discoveries
October 21, 2005

--- Chondrules in metal-rich meteorites formed a couple of million years
after most other chondrules, possibly by impact between moon-sized or
larger objects.

Written by G. Jeffrey Taylor 
Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology

Alexander (Sasha) Krot (University of Hawaii), Yuri Amelin (University
of Toronto), Pat Cassen (SETI Institute), and Anders Meibom (Museum
National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris) studied and then extracted frozen
droplets of molten silicate (chondrules from unusual meteorites rich in
metallic iron-nickel. Called CB (Bencubbin-like) chondrites,
these rare but fascinating meteorites contain chondrules with different 
properties than those in other types of chondrites. Most notably, the 
chondrules contain very small concentrations of volatile elements and
variable concentrations of refractory elements. (Volatile elements 
condense from a gas at a relatively low temperature, or are boiled out of 
solids or liquids at relatively low temperature. Refractory elements are 
the opposite.) Some of the metal grains in CB chondrites are chemically 
zoned, indicating that they formed by condensation in a vapor cloud.

The most intriguing feature of chondrules in CB chondrites is their
relatively young age. Lead-lead isotopic dating of chondrules separated
from two CB chondrites show that they formed 5 million years after
formation of the first solids in the solar system (calcium-aluminum-rich
inclusions), which is about at least two million years after formation
of other chondrules, and after energetic events in the solar nebula
stopped. Krot and his colleagues suggest that the CB chondrules formed
as the result of an impact between Moon- to Mars-sized protoplanets.
Such impacts were so energetic that huge amounts of material were
vaporized and then condensed as chondrules or chemically zoned metal
grains. This event enriched refractory elements and depleted volatile
elements. Such large impacts appear to play important roles in planet
formation, including the formation of the Moon.

Reference:

* Krot, Alexander N., Yuri Amelin, Patrick Cassen, and Anders Meibom
  (2005) Young chondrules in CB chondrites from a giant impact in
  the early Solar System. Nature, vol. 436, p. 989-992.



Normal Chondrules and their Formation

Most meteoriticists think that normal chondrules (if "normal" is the
right word to use for millimeter-sized frozen droplets of silicate melts
that formed before the planets) formed by flash heating events in the
solar nebular, the flattened cloud of gas and dust in which the Sun and
planets formed. (See PSRD article: Flash Heating
.) Numerous ideas
for the source of flash heating were devised over the years, but the
favorite now is shock waves in the solar nebula. There are, as usual in
science, a lot of ideas for the origin of the shock waves.

* Accretion shocks, in which energetic waves are set up as dust
  falls onto the growing accretion disk around the proto-Sun.
* Waves set up by infalling clumps of dust and gas.
* Bow shocks in front of planetesimals moving through the dusty nebula.
* Formation of spiral arms and clumps in the protoplanetary disk.
* Eruption of X-ray flares from the young Sun.

[image of type I chondrule]

This backscattered electron image shows a typical normal chondrule in a
CR carbonaceous chondrite. Most of the grains are olivine crystals
(black, labeled ol). They are surrounded by a glass (grey, labeled gl).
Pyroxene (px) and droplets of metallic iron (white, labeled met) are
also visible.



[photo of experimental shock wave]

The image above shows the shock wave in front of a blunt object (moving
from right to left) in a wind tunnel during an experiment at NASA Ames
Research Center. This may resemble the shock wave preceding a
planetesimal moving through the solar nebula.



[photo of shock waves from ship guns]

Spherical shock waves generated by the firing of the huge guns of the
USS Iowa are clearly visible on the ocean surface. While not exactly a
simulation of a shock wave in the early solar system, the photograph
gives a good view of the shock wave generated by the explosion.

Not everyone agrees with an origin by shock waves in the solar nebula,
of course. Some meteoriticists think chondrules originated during
impacts between solid or molten small bodies. Everyone agrees, however,
that chondrules made their appearance early in the history of the solar
system. Isotopic dating of chondrules shows that they formed within
three million years of the formation of calcium-aluminum-rich i

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update - October 21, 2005

2005-10-24 Thread Ron Baalke

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html

SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Begins Downhill Drive - sol 634-640, Oct 21, 2005:

Spirit is healthy and has begun driving downhill from the top of
"Husband Hill" toward the south basin. Elevation maps produced from the
panoramic camera imagery taken at and near the summit of Husband Hill
showed a safe traverse (with vehicle tilts under about 20 degrees)
across ridge lines east of the summit. These ridge lines (informally
called "Haskin upper ridge" and "Haskin east ridge") are the planned
traverse paths for coming weeks. When possible, Spirit will drive each day.

Sol-by-sol summaries:

Sol 634 (Oct. 15, 2005): Spirit finished investigating a rock outcrop
called "Hillary" near the summit of Husband Hill. Spirit used the alpha
particle X-ray spectrometer and the microscopic imager to study Hillary,
then Spirit stowed the robotic arm. Spirit bumped back about 2 meters (7
feet) from the outcrop to complete remote imaging. Spirit used the
miniature thermal emission spectrometer and panoramic camera to study
targets on Hillary.

Sol 635: Spirit drove 47 meters (154 feet) east from the summit.

Sol 636: Spirit took images with the navigation camera and performed
atmospheric observations.

Sol 637: Spirit drove 20 meters (66 feet) during the first of a series
of drives toward Haskin upper ridge. There is an apparent drop-off near
this ridge; therefore, each drive begins with a short 10-meter (33-foot)
"blind" drive, followed by drives using hazard-avoidance cameras and
decreased limits on how far the rover can tilt in any direction. The
intent is to stop a drive short of any significant change in local
elevation.

Sol 638: Spirit drove 29 meters (95 feet) during the second drive to the
Haskin upper ridge. Spirit also observed the moons Phobos and Deimos at
night.

Sol 639: Spirit covered 17 meters (56 feet) during the third drive of
the approach to Haskin upper ridge. This left Spirit about 15 meters (49
feet) from the drop-off and near an area with rock outcrops.

Sol 640: Spirit's planned activities for sol 640 were devoted to remote
sensing of the east basin, expected to be within view after the third
leg of the sol 639 drive.

As of the end of sol 639, (Oct. 20, 2005), Spirit has driven 5,107
meters (3.17 miles).



OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Maneuvering Around Ripples - sol 613-618, Oct 21, 2005:

Opportunity is healthy and has been making excellent progress around
"Erebus Crater." At the beginning of the week, the rover was in automode
as it was still recovering from a partial uplink, but on sol 614 the
team sent a real-time activate command and the rover performed remote
sensing. The team is no longer operating under restricted sols, and
Opportunity traveled 101.65 meters (333 feet) in four sols. The rover is
generally heading westward around the crater, but traveled northward on
sol 618 to avoid some larger ripples to the west.

Sol-by-sol summaries:

Sol 613 (Oct. 14, 2005): The team planned untargeted remote sensing.
However, the master sequence did not run because Opportunity was in
automode.

Sol 614: The team sent a real-time command to activate the sol 614
master sequence. The plan included remote sensing.

Sol 615: Opportunity completed an 18.5-meter (61-foot) drive heading
westward around Erebus Crater.

Sol 616: Opportunity drove 24 meters (79 feet), with an average slip of
2.3 percent.

Sol 617: The rover completed a 43.65-meter (143-foot) drive, zigzagging
around low points in the ripples.

Sol 618: Opportunity completed a 15.5-meter (51-foot) drive on outcrop,
heading northward to find some lower ripples to cross.

As of sol 618 (Oct. 19, 2005) Opportunity has driven 6,138.07 meters
(3.81 miles).
