Steve, I think you'll find it usually works the other way a lower$/g for larger pieces and Higher $/g for smaller (Otherwise there would be no reason for anyone to cut rocks into smaller pieces, and that would make a main mass worth less than the total cost of the cut pieces!).

[meteorite-list] Tucson Thanks! Part I of II
Dear List, Finally I'm home! It's been a long Tucson for me, all very enjoyable. Please take a moment to hear me rant -or more appropriately: rave- about the meteorite folks who colored my world in Arizona and beyond. First, in order of meeting, is Jim Kriegh with whom I feel privileged to have shared an unexpected couple hours of fine conversation with and appreciated his suggestions and observations. I am looking forward to the day I can tag along in the field with you, Jim. Shortly later, I met 'Twink' and kind meteorite spouse Larry whose reservoirs of kindness never ran dry in the most challenging situations. I thank my lucky star to have you as friends and frankly couldn't have done anything besides a basic Tucson without your help. I am sure that I am talking for many a meteorhound when I also say the meteorite cake colors golden our Tucson experience like the children looking forward to the Rosca de Reyes (Pan de Reyes: The round glazed candy-fruited sweetbread) in Mexico on Epiphany: http://www.worldonaplate.org/world_on_a_plate/2007/01/rosca_de_reyes.html To The Classic Chladnis, Andi, Stefan, and Martin were the kindest folks, and once wound up and rolling, proved to be a barrel full of meteorites, moons and loons, not to mention knowledge, conversation, food and mead... What a fun gang, and place to escape the high pressure sales joints, thanks friends - I hope you are able to attend next year! Martin, have you yet recovered from the alleged S. American plague? Take two Hasparos and call me in the morning under Appley Bridge and I promise you'll be cured. Next, I met up with Rusty Bill Mason in the rear of Heorot's Hall of Paleoenterologists. Bill has a delightful sense of humor and is always ready to help you recover your irons wherever you might have put them, gratis and with a big smile. What more could one ask of such a experimented practitioner of non-petreous proto-planet preservation? I hope he never closes the gates to huddled meteoritical masses, whether they be immersed in the mainstream or relegated as poor plum puddinged deserted individuals. OK, next in line was the room with the nicest duo that has put up with meteorites all these years. That would be Blaine and his every sympathetic brother Blake Reed, plus the caravan of mirth that you can count on finding there this time including the likes of Blake's attractive and pleasant girlfriend, plus the likes of AL and Mike Mtz who I saw this time there. Thanks for my wonderful wine glass which I am pleased to have cared for all the way home, over a few mountains, valleys, wet lakes, urban forests and numerous army check points. Whenever I am in the presence of the Reed's, truly, I am filled with admiration. Blaine has put up with the ups and downs of the Business like no other, never sacrificing his smile, genuine generosity and helpfulness, and sage advice, such as Always leave something attractive on the table for buyers. Ah ... a phrase so easily said by many but so hard to find when you need it...but friends of Blaine will know exactly what I mean. Rumor was that the IMCA was to have a dinner, so upon the encouragement of several members, I decided to crash the party which was at La Fuente restaurante. Here I was fortunate to meet up with the kind and openly jovial Jensens, cladistic Chladnis', oh lala Anne B., the enchanting Maria Haas and the nice guy (name?) sitting to her right, and Mark Bostick, Greg Hupe and many others further from my seat. That evening for me, though, my heart was won by Maria Haas, as it was the first time I met her in person and realized just how honest and caring of a person she is - always helping others, and as we saw leading an effort to help Walter Branch and family from the meteorite community. Just listening to Maria's caring comments had me realize how lucky I am to be in the same virtual community as she. Good luck Maria in Holbrook I wished ... knowing I would not be able to arrive there and share the hunt until she was about to leave. Speaking of Maria I also met the always pleasant Latin superstore jefe Eduardo a few times who was clearly having a great time. Such a contagious smile! He mentioned he wanted to go to Holbrook so I invited him to come along with me a few days later. He politely declined in favor of holding out until Maria invited him again. It went down something like this: Why would I want to go with you, when I could go with (harps play theme from West Side Story) MARIA. Actually there was a lot of sense to Eduardo's words. I wouldn't want to go with me either - if I could go with Maria. So next time I'll check into the possibility of ditching myself and going with Maria instead. Say it loud Eduardo and there's Music Playing! Hope you enjoyed your royal suites hotel with Jacuzzi and all, btw. Sure beat the crap out of my accommodations but I'm not complaining. Also, thanks for the lessons southern-South American style on the regional
[meteorite-list] Tucson Thanks! Part II of II
(continued from last message) To warm down a bit I stopped by to see Kitty Killgore who I didn't expect this year. Apparently the show promoter had kicked Martin's SWMC out of the show some time as a not for profit, because as everybody knows, this is Tucson and everything has to have a price tag. SWMC fund raising and acquisition strategy apparently just didn't fit the bill... So there was our unchanged Kitty in her usual good humor, and a selection of some of the finely prepared meteorites we have come to expect from Southwest Meteorite Labs. Thanks for the smile every time I visit! Always a room filled with eye-candy... At one point, I caught up to a group of Moni, Rob Matson and other friendly folks. It was the first time I had met them in person. Moni is a greatly spirited conversationalist and also, it becomes apparent in talking, a dedicated and hardy hunter when the opportunity is there. Some day I hope to hunt on some dry lake beds with Moni and her friends! Rob, actually was a sort of icon of mine, turned out to be the antithesis of what one expects when speaking of History's great comet and asteroid hunters. Patient to discuss and open about his work, completely too humble about his accomplishments, and the kind of person who we all wish we could have as a friend. Good luck with that black crusted fresh desert find you picked up from the Chladni gang Rob; I appreciate your advise and follow-up and hope someday I can discover a celestial object like you have done - which I dream of associating with my own Father's name. Congratulations with my highest regards to you for your hunting successes! Also I met Jason Utas and his dad Peter. We didn't get to speak much, but they are a great team and look great together. It's hard to believe young Jason has already accomplished himself so well, but he has earned my respect by reading his posted thoughts (not always in agreement - but fresh and creative thought processes to back himself up). It was nice to say hi. A new face for me was Don and his wife Linda Hurkot who came from way up North. Thanks to Don in many ways, I was able to get my own superior slice of Seymchan, instead of one filled with epoxy as almost happened. At Al Lang's sale we both bid against each other for ownership of a certain CM2 that I have always hoped for. While I simply couldn't compete on the final bid, I am very pleased that the specimen went to the finest home I can imagine where it will be loved. Anyhow, that's my consolation and what I keep telling myself:-). As Don considered me a friend, he offered me the piece I lost at his cost when he saw I felt a little bad. Of course I was flattered for his thoughtfulness! Thanks for everything Don and I am glad to hear Linda had a lot of fun besides meteorites too. Hope we meet again. At the meteorite party, the person I remember most was María Haas already mentioned, as kind as ever and a lovely change from the outside. Re: Outside: the so called security guard and his boss who kept others and me at bay in the entrance way to the Steve and Geoff bash. Let's not give those pinheads more bandwidth than they deserve. But if you saw someone pantomiming on the window with their hands begging to get in that was me. Word has it that Keith Vasquez (of Will Work for Meteorites fame, and another great acquaintance from the show, took a picture of this debacle from the inside - I want a copy!). Bob Verish and his lady were stuck out there and it provided us a fine opportunity to get acquainted, and I want to thanks you guys as well. Regarding the party, I also met Dima here. Dima is Serge A.'s Cometshop partner. What a nice person. I highly recommend him for anyone who would like some honest dealings. I was able to pick up his last piece of the Shirokovsky fake they had, which he celebrated finally getting rid of, after they had originally been duped into believing it was a real pallasite. I've already mentioned Geoff, but not really Secret Agent #1, who I felt fortunate to carry on with at the party. Steve Arnold has the heart of a meteorite hunter and this blood really overflows when you speak with him and his escapades. It is very refreshing to discuss the life of a full-time meteorite salvager and one can see the difficulties facing this rare breed of person. Steve made a lot of sense to me in any case, though I won't comment how sober either of us was as it was his birthday party! Anyway, the meteorite-hunting icon he is, I had a few US hunts planned post-Tucson, and decided to stop shaving and them get a copy beard like he has. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. BTW, when I got home my girl told me I looked more exciting with the new gruff beard. Shucks now the joke is on me and I have to keep it a while. Arrrgh. Trust me meteorite hunters really have a tough life! Needling aside, I hope a full length account can be written some day about Steve and the team's (Geoff, Phil)

Re: [meteorite-list] the price per gram of tatahouine
Mark list, Tatahouine is an exception to the bigger costs less per gram pattern. Due to the large crystal size in this material and the well-developed cleavages of pyroxene, Tatahouine shattered when it hit the atmosphere. Small bits dominate, biggerr pieces are rare. As a consequence, there is a sliding price scale for Tatahouine, with a premium for over 5 gms, more of a premium over 8 grams, more yet over 10, etc. The curve rises quickly!

Re: [meteorite-list] Larry's Holbrook Holy Grail Find and BobHaag's Venus Stone
Jason Utas wrote: Hello All, There are a few things that separate Adamana from Holbrook in my mind... The texture of the crust alone of Adamana versus that of Holbrook leaves me little doubt that the two could possibly be paired. Hi Jason, I think you meant to say that the two could NOT possibly be paired? Not trying to argue, just think a few points need to be said. The fusion crust of Adamana is a matte black, which contrasts sharply with the crust of recently found Holbrooks, which exhibit a typically blue/black almost shiny crust in most cases, often liberally spread with rust spots. The interior tells the same story - Adamana is a uniform brown, with chondrules poking out here and there. Recently found Holbrooks tend to be less weathered internally, if not more externally, and their dark chondrules contrast starkly with the lighter matrix, creating a much more heterogeneous appearance than that of Adamana. If indeed the Adamana meteorite is the front piece of the Holbrook, and I'm NOT saying it is, then it would have the thickest primary crust out of any other portion of the fall. There are pictures of original finds that have chondrules as much as 5-7 mm in diameter. Also, one has to keep in mind that it was found in a horse corral. I'm sure acidic horse urine and different soil conditions could have some kind of effect on it as well...IF it was. I'm just saying that I for one, am not quite ready to throw the half-baked theory in the trashyet. The location of the find Fifteen miles is simply impossible, unless it was artificially transported. Actually, the Adamana Meteorite was found 11 miles from Arntz (aka Aztec). Not quite all the way to Adamana which is 13 miles as the meteor flies. (I did some remeasuring). And, if the Goodwater theory is correct, then you are only talking about 4 miles. According to the July 26, 1912 article on the Holbrook Argus: There was a heavy explosion similar to that of a heavy blast followed by a fuscillade of smaller explosions which terminated in a thunder-like rumble of approximately two minutes in duration. In Warren Foote's Preliminary Notes of the July 19, 1912 Meteoric Fall at Aztec, Arizona, he writes: It was heard in Concho, St. Joseph, Woodruff, and Pinedale, some 40 miles away. One large explosion was quickly followed by several small ones in rapid succession. The mapped strewnfield was roughly one mile long by a half mile wide. Now it's more like 3 miles long by 1 mile wide and growing. Even Warren Foote mentions this dimension in 1912. The largest stone recovered, weighing in at ~14.5 lbs, was found at the end of this ellipse. HmmmI've never heard that before. I'd like to know where you read/heard that information as that is interesting to me. According to Foote: The large and small stones, according to all answers received, were said to be indiscriminately spread over the ground, without regard to size. The violent disruptions near Holbrook might account for the lack of such a separation The possibility that anything made it farther than this stone is great - In recent years, say the last 40, the larger finds that I know of have been about in the center of the known field and on both sides of the tracks. I and others have found many smaller ones further north and east of these larger stones. I would like to know where the main mass was found, but I've never been able to dig that up yet. However, I've never read or heard anywhere that it was found at the furthest point of the field. it wouldn't surprise me too greatly if a 20lber was found another quarter of a mile on (it could've buried itself on impact, etc), but to say that a smaller stone continued another fifteen miles beyond the known end of the strewnfield is simply ridiculous, With all the numerous explosions, why not another 11 miles? Some parts must have still been ablating after the main explosion to have more explosions. At say, 7 miles per second (just as an aribitrary figure), it wouldn't take long to cover that distance. There is still quite a bit of material still missing off of Haag's aerodynamic piece too. But, certainly not enough to make it come close to being the main mass. to say nothing of the fact that it is much too far north to even be near the same path as the body that created the Holbrook strewnfield. Huh? In the Holbrook Argus article, it states: The sky was lightly overcast with patches of high floating clouds, but immediately after the explosion a smoky trail similar to the smoke of an automobile's exhaust was visible. The trail disappeared in a LITTLE NORTH of east in direction. Well, Arntz is ENE of Holbrook and Adamana is ENE of Arntz. The strewn field and the railroad tracks are in a ENE orientation. Drawing a line from Holbrook through Arntz takes you right to Adamanain fact, this line can possibly go a little bit

[meteorite-list] Sensor Being Developed to Check for Life on Mars
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/features.cfm?feature=1290 Sensor Being Developed to Check for Life on Mars Jet Propulsion Laboratory February 26, 2007 NASA-funded researchers are refining a tool that could not only check for the faintest traces of life's molecular building blocks on Mars, but could also determine whether they have been produced by anything alive. The instrument, called Urey: Mars Organic and Oxidant Detector, has already shown its capabilities in one of the most barren climes on Earth, the Atacama Desert in Chile. The European Space Agency has chosen this tool from the United States as part of the science payload for the ExoMars rover planned for launch in 2013. Last month, NASA selected Urey for an instrument-development investment of $750,000. The European Space Agency plans for the ExoMars rover to grind samples of Martian soil to fine powder and deliver them to a suite of analytical instruments, including Urey, that will search for signs of life. Each sample will be a spoonful of material dug from underground by a robotic drill. Urey will be able to detect key molecules associated with life at a sensitivity roughly a million times greater than previous instrumentation, said Dr. Jeffrey Bada of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. Bada is the principal investigator for an international team of scientists and engineers working on various components of the device. To aid in interpreting that information, part of the tool would assess how rapidly the environmental conditions on Mars erase those molecular clues. Dr. Pascale Ehrenfreund of the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, said, The main objective of ExoMars is to search for life. Urey will be a key instrument for that because it is the one with the highest sensitivity for organic chemicals. Ehrenfreund, one of two deputy principal investigators for Urey, coordinates efforts of team members from five other European countries. Urey can detect several types of organic molecules, such as amino acids, at concentrations as low as a few parts per trillion. All life on Earth assembles chains of amino acids to make proteins. However, amino acids can be made either by a living organism or by non-biological means. This means it is possible that Mars has amino acids and other chemical precursors of life but has never had life. To distinguish between that situation and evidence for past or present life on Mars, the Urey instrument team will make use of the knowledge that most types of amino acids can exist in two different forms. One form is referred to as left-handed and the other as right-handed. Just as the right hand on a human mirrors the left, these two forms of an amino acid mirror each other. Amino acids from a non-biological source come in a roughly 50-50 mix of right-handed and left-handed forms. Life on Earth, from the simplest microbes to the largest plants and animals, makes and uses only left-handed amino acids, with rare exceptions. Comparable uniformity -- either all left or all right -- is expected in any extraterrestrial life using building blocks that have mirror-image versions because a mixture would complicate biochemistry. The Urey instrument will be able to distinguish between left-handed amino acids and right-handed ones, said Allen Farrington, Urey project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which will build the instrument to be sent to Mars. If Urey were to find an even mix of the mirror-image molecules on Mars, that would suggest life as we know it never began there. All-left or all-right would be strong evidence that life now exists on Mars, with all-right dramatically implying an origin separate from Earth life. Something between 50-50 and uniformity could result if Martian life once existed, because amino acids created biologically gradually change toward an even mixture in the absence of life. The 1976 NASA Viking mission discovered that strongly oxidizing conditions at the Martian surface complicate experiments to search for life. The Urey instrument has a component, called the Mars oxidant instrument, for examining those conditions. --- NASA-BACKED TEAM DEVELOPING SENSOR TO CHECK FOR LIFE ON MARS INSTRUMENT'S NAME PAYS TRIBUTE TO SCIENTIST A 1953 experiment that involved making chemical building blocks of life was one major achievement of the scientist from whom the Urey instrument takes its name. Dr. Harold Urey (1893-1981) and Dr. Stanley Miller, while at the University of Chicago, simulated a hypothetical step in the evolution of life by using electric sparks to convert a mixture of simpler ingredients -- water, ammonia, methane and hydrogen -- into amino acids and other organic chemicals. Unlike the amino acids produced by living organisms, amino acids produced by the Miller-Urey experiment and by other non-biological reactions are an even mixture of right-handed and left-handed

Additional egg-white if making over a quart of Pisco sour. Ice will adjust the strength of the drink, we recommend adding a few cubes, blend in a mixer, then tasting and adding more ice if necessary. Blend until creamy white Pour into a cocktail glass and add a few drops of Angostura bitters or Cinnamon powder.

I will pay all shipping costs. I am currently in Peru and expect to send these out when I return to the United States because international shipping rates here are very high. Additionally, the shipping agent requires analysis along with a letter stating composition and a declaration that they are not a hazardous substance. I was in the process of having a sample analyzed by ACTlabs here in Lima until I found out that they actually send the samples to ACTlabs in Canada. The samples will be completely analyzed using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, XRF, and high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in Canada. I will post the result. Noble gas analysis and dating are currently beyond my budget. The reason why I am making this offer is that I need to get some of this material into the hands of serious collectors in exchange for comments, links, references or general help in having these meteorites analyzed and classified. I have taken pictures of these samples and some have been seen by a few meteorite dealers. Their comments have been that these rocks do not look like meteorites. Even when I described the composition as basaltic, one dealer said it looked like sandstone!? These meteorites were found in a zone of a known meteorite fall. With the cooperation and assistance of the Geophysical Institute of Peru and the National University San Agustin I discovered the main impact structure a short time ago after an 8 day expedition into a very remote part of Peru. I have videos of this and other expeditions along with video recorded eye-witness testimony that assisted in helping to located the main fall. I have a theory but I would prefer not to speculate where these meteorites came from. What I can say is that they exhibit extreme hardness that is equivalent or exceeding quartz, have a very thin fusion crust, and most are pitted with micro-craters. I have done some crude experiments on my own to see if I could duplicate the fusion crust on a piece that I fragmented. Using a oxy-acetylene torch and a blacksmith's furnace I subjected various fragments to wide temperature ranges and durations without success. I used a diamond coated saw and found quartz was easier to cut. Comments appreciated. Randall *SUBJECT: OPEN LETTER TO DR. KOROTEV
[meteorite-list] Carbonados
Elton wrote: As far as I know the diamonds are only found in rim recoveries. Hello Elton, Marcin, and List, Nininger was the one who first observed that diamonds were only found in fragments recovered from the rim. All these meteorites had a reheated, granulated matrix. Nininger suggested that the temperatures indicated were those required to form diamonds from graphite during the passage of shock waves produced in the meteorite upon collision with the Earth. Most carbonados are about 0.1-1.0 mm (some up to 2.2 mm) in diameter, a little porous, layered and polycrystalline. They usually occur in amorphous carbon-graphite-troilite nodules. Many of the carbonados are aggregates of diamond and a hexagonal polymorph of diamond called lonsdaleite. Reference: BUCHWALD V.F.

In '96 there was no supplier anywhere that I could find. I suppose that things have changed since. But I have never seen it anywhere here in Flagstaff. Guess none have the taste for it.

I did not have a hangover the next day at all, neither did Marvin or Hurley. I bought two bottles on the way back and have yet to find it here in the US. ... P.S. Any liquor importers out there: Re-name Pisco to METEOR with a nice landscape logo with a meteor streaking downward. I bet it would then find a market here in the U.S.-- Especially with high altitude meteorite hunters. Pisco is actually fairly easy to get in the U.S. I noticed a while back that one of my favorite local wine shops (Hi Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA) carries about a half-dozen varities of Pisco: http://www.hitimewine.net/istar.asp?a=3dept=01class=02subclass=03 Perhaps you have a local specialty wine store that offers it. Or you may even be able to buy it online at the above link. Since Pisco is made from grapes (obviously highly distilled), it is often categorized with brandy (though sometimes with tequila). --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
