[meteorite-list] Apex - Colorado - possible MB correction
Jeff Grossman wanted me to deal directly with Rhian Jones, the AE at MB, about this subject, so here is an update of what I wrote to Ms. Jones. Ms. Jones I will answer Mr. Grossman's question below by passing this information directly to you. And then, if you have more questions, please email me any time and I will try to respond. I suspect if you have read the past emails on this subject, then you are up to date on the topic. Matt Morgan is in Wyoming for the holiday, so I cannot ask him where his text reference to "Apex Gulch" came from. I will cc: him on this and speak to him when he returns. But I can try to make things clearer about these name-places. Apex Park, Apex Gulch, Magic Mountain Archeological Site, the Plains Indian encampment, all these names refer to the same exact site. The Indian site was at the mouth of Apex Gulch. Apex Gulch comes down from the foothills and widens at the end, such as a large river creates a delta. Here, in Golden Colorado, this place has been refered to the mouth of Apex Gulch (or just plain Apex Gulch). In 1938 the Plains Indian encampment was know as Apex Gulch. For a matter of fact, not to detour to far off course, the plain name APEX should not be the name reference of the meteorite find at all. The plain name APEX refers to the frontier town Apex, which sits at the TOP of Apex Gulch, almost 15 miles going south-west into the foothills. This town is now one of Colorado's existing ghost towns. The first wagon toll road was constructed from the mouth of Apex Gulch (in Golden Colorado) up through the Gulch to Apex and Central city, square one of the Colorado gold rush. As I was writing this email to you, Jack Murphy called me. As you may know, he was the curator at the Denver Museum of Natural History for 25 years and his specialty was geology and meteorites. He saw my posts on the meteorite list and he wanted to let me know that he can confirm my placement of the Apex find on this site. Him and I are going to go to the site and we will get exact coordinates with a GPS. He also has unpublished written material that can better explain what I have discovered. He said he originally submitted the meteorite find as the "Apex Gulch" find but the MB edited that to just Apex, which in itself could cause more confusion that just the wrong coordinates, since as I said, Apex is a town many miles away from the find. So, in a couple of weeks I will have the cornerstone of information that fill any possible holes in my research. If you have any question, please email me and I will be glad to answer them. When I started this trek last week, I first tried to find Jack Murphy as I was informed that he could give me the best information on this subject. Jack said someone on this list passed this discussion on to him and Jack contacted me. I was so surprised to hear from Mr. Murphy that I didn't catch the name of the list member who contacted him. So... my thanks to that list member... So is looks like Jack Murphy and myself will be going to the site to better pinpoint the coordinates and we will submit that info (and his proof that Apex Gulch is the actual find site) to Ms. Jones. So we may be able to not only get the coordinates updated, but we may be able to have this find properly named. And really thanks to the mebers of this list in general. I have had a number of private emails about this topic and you all have been a GREAT help. Walter L.

[meteorite-list] Apex - Colorado - possible MB correction
I just received a email from Jeff Grossman at the MB database. He questioned my research on the correct find spot for the Apex Colorado find. I will not post his reply here, but I will post MY rely back to him -- Jeff I contacted Logan Ivy at the museum last week. He confirmed that the research at the Magic Mountain site was done by Robert Akerley, in 1938, and he found the meteorite and gave it to the museum. Further confirmation for the actual location of the Magic Mountain site itself can be found in William "Bill" Butler's dissertation on Magic Mountain published in the 1980s. Considering the following confirmed facts... 1) Robert Akerley dug at the Magic Mountain Plains Indian encampment. 2) The encampment was at the mouth of the Apex Gulch. 3) Robert Akerley found a 6.1 gram meteorite. 4) The meteorite exists in the collection of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science 5) The meteorite was officially classified 6) The actual location of the Magic Mountain site is well know and can be confirmed by a college dissertation. 7) The mesa top location of the coordinates in the MB database does not match any of the other facts. In Matthew L. Morgan's booklet "The Handbook of Colorado Meteorites," published by the Colorado Geological Survey, he uses the coordinates from the MB database but his text descriptions reads as follows... "Stone. Olivine-hypersthene chondrite (L6). A small single stone was found at the mouth of Apex Gulch, near the Heritage Village shopping center, 3.2 km south of Golden." I would say using the center of the existing Apex Park site would be a whole lot closer than a barren mesa top which has no relation to the other facts. I'm not sure what facts would be missing here? As far as the origin of the coordinates themselves, Mr. Ivy said... "Google Earth probably uses WGS84 as a datum, but the map coordinates were probably derived from a USGS topo sheet, which will use the NAD27 datum. Try using Topozone.com. Logan Ivy" Not matter where the original coordinates came from, they appear wrong. And since we have narrative that describes the find site, and the current state of the site still matches the narrative, I suspect that the narrative correctly locates the find spot. If you have any other questions, please email me. Thank you. Walter L. Newton Maybe I am missing something here. His reply to me seemed to be strangely dismissive. Do these folks get their feathers easily ruffled if you question some of their facts and figures? I was just trying to be helpful, not harmful. Walter L.

[meteorite-list] Apex - Colorado - possible MB correction
I have been looking at the Apex Colorado meteorite find in the MD databse and I believe the coordinates, as listed, are wrong. I sent the following information to Jeff Grossman. I thought the group would be interested in this... Jeff I am investigating a Colorado meteorite find from 1938. According to the Meteoritical Bulletin database, this find was named APEX and the 6.1 gram rock was placed in the collection of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (this is the current name of the museum). It was not recognized as a meteorite until 1983. I don't know if it was placed in the museum collection before 1983 or after. My problem is this. The Bulletin describes the find location as 39o,45' N and 105o,12' W. The Google Earth application shows this location as being on the a mesa top that runs along the north-northeast side of Golden, Colorado. Yet the text in the Bulletin describes the location as " Found by Robert Akerley during his investigation of an ancient Indian camping site in the foothills west of Denver. This site subsequently became known as the Magic Mountain site. The specimen is now in the Denver Museum of Natural History. Source: J. Murphy, Denver Museum of Natural History, City Park, Denver, Colorado 80205, USA." This site as mentioned above was a Plains Indian archeological site on the south side of Golden, Colorado, about 4-5 miles from the find site mentioned in the MB database. Between 1957/59, the second theme park in the USA (Disney being the first) was built on some of this site. The park was called "Magic Mountain." As the park was being built, research was being done on the site (1958/59) in hopes of gaining as much information about the site before most of it became unavailable. When the amusement park was finished, 2/3's of the site laid beneath the upper parking lot of the amusement park. The remaining accessible part of the site was named Apex Park and in 1997/98, a final study was done of the site. After that the site was filled in for preservation purposes. Apex Park is part of the Jefferson County Open Space system. The park acts as a trailhead for a number of hiking/biking trails into the foothills. Magic Mountain was not a successful amusement park and closed in the early 60's. Currently the amusement park is called Heritage Square, and all that remains of Magic Mountain are the Victorian styled buildings and a few rides. The buildings are used as shops and it also houses a live theatre. According to the text of the Bulletin, the find site should be somewhere with in existing Apex Park. I suggest that the coordinates for the find should be 39o 42' 56.37'' North 105o 12' 41.45''. Even though we don't know the exact find spot, these coordinates would place the find in the center of the current Apex Park site and not 4-5 miles north of the find spot. I hope this can be of help.

[meteorite-list] Re: Uncut NWA's - Does the exterior disclose the interior
Hi Walter, Another characteristic I like to look for are shock veins on the exterior surface. Look for thin, black lines -- sometimes they'll be roughly parallel to each other while on other meteorites they'll wind like fine tributaries. Occasionally a vein will widen into a larger, dark melt pocket. If you see these features, you can be assured that the interior will show nice shock veining and possibly melt pools. Except for obvious examples, I find it hard to tell if an unclassified, uncut specimen has a few or a lot of chondrules. Studying the piece under a stereomicroscope at 10x will often give tantalizing hints. Good luck and enjoy sleuthing! Bob >You see a lot of ads for uncut NWA's in bulk lots. I have even purchased a few of these and I do have fun discovering what may be inside. And I have even found some with a good amount of visible chondrules, impact features and one that had an image of The Virgin Mary inside :). But I have been collecting "things" for a LONG time, and I know, at least in other hobbies, that bulk items can be cherry picked way before it gets to you. Is that the same with uncut bulk lots of meteorites. And if so, how can you tell from the exterior what might be in the interior. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

FW: [meteorite-list] Email from Serge & Comet Meteorite Shop
Dear List Members, Thanks for all your kind replies on Serge's post, and my email - I will forward all your posts to Serge, ASAP. Zelimir Gabelica, the organizer of the Ensisheim show, also sent me a reply, and since he's not able to post directly to the list, he asked me to forward it to you. See his email, below. Best, Norbert Classen Hi Norbert and List, Norbert, thanks for this very important info. Most of us in Ensisheim were wondering indeed what happened with Serge (our current guest) this year but no one was sure whether it was wise to talk more in depth about that sad event (Serge's problems in his country). As this info is now more "official" (through your post & further rumors), here are some further comments from my side. As show organizer and personal friend of Serge, I was contacted in due time by him (through some exotic mail on which he was free to write) and told about "his big problems in Russia" and his "impossibility to be with us again this year". His friends Dmitrij (Dima) Kachalin + wife, Slavomir (Slava) Skorniakov, perhaps some other, were "in the same situation" and could not come either. However Serge proposed that "Comet Meteorite Shop" is again represented in Ensisheim in 2006 and that his table is held by another friend of him, Dmitrij (Dima) Siderenko + a colleague. Dima & friend (can't remember exactly his name for now) showed up in Ensisheim on Friday as we agreed, and receptioned the 2 big parcels of about 25 kg each, obviously full of meteorites, sent earlier to me "by Serge & co" from "a certain country" that obviously was not Russia. All went well, Dima & friend had a good time and sold well many of their superb meteorites (mostly from Oman). Dima's smile and kindness were unanimoisly appreciated (see his photo on Peter Marmet's site, Ensisheim 2006 report, part 1, picture entitled "Anne Black and a russian meteorite dealer", taken during the Friday party). I did not want to bother Dima more about Serge's problems, believing that they decided it was wiser to remain silent about a situation that, if extensively debated, could potentially do some more harm to Serge. I met again Dima and 2 other of his friends from Russia at Ste Marie e few days later and learned a little more about "the situation in Russia", roughly the same as explained by Norbert here. The good news, that duly confirms that the rumor "we won't see the Russians again at future shows" isn't true, is that all of Serge's freinds are strongly convinced that Serge will re-appear soon again on the meteorite scene, among us, perhaps in Munich, most probably in 2007 (Tucson?). Could this new rumor become true! At least, we now have another appreciated partner, Dima Siderenko, within the "CMS" friendly team. Norbert, I still have problems to send my posts to the List so please send a copy of this mail both to Serge and List.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite related things to do in California
Happy Canada Day! I need to travel to Carlsbad at the end o July and will have a day or two free. Wondering if there are any museums, dealers or other meteorite things to do between LA and San Diego. Of course, I will also visit the caves and see the bats.
