Steve. Do you suppose anyone has gotten permission to hunt the Meteor Crater area in light of all the CD coming on to the market in the past few years? Or maybe these are just old collections that have finally been bought from their ancestors. Yeah, I bet that's it.

Re: [meteorite-list] MARTIAN MOON NAMES... AGAIN
Sterling, All these years my brain has recited Phobos-and-Deimos-fear-and-panic. This is since Saturn had three rings and Jupiter had twelve moons. Demoting Pluto was easy but now Deimos and Phobos, Fear and Flight? Ouch. Great research. A Sterling job! - John John Kashuba Ontario, California -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sterling K. Webb Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 4:39 PM To: Meteorite List Cc: Kashuba Subject: [meteorite-list] MARTIAN MOON NAMES... AGAIN Hi, Darren, John, Larry, List This is so typical. I'm here to completely reverse my position on the English meaning of the names of the Martian moons that I posted yesterday. The IAU / USGS website with them: http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/append7.html is probably correct and the best resolution of the question. I've continued to research the question. I have discovered that I was wrong about some things (no big surprise there). I have the habit of shooting off my mouth about what I think I "know" and discovering it to be mistaken. I was "sure" Iliad xv, 119 had Phobos, Deimos in that order, and... yes, wrong again. The Iliad, Chap 15, lines 113-120, transliterated into Romanic characters: hôs ephat', autar Arês thalerô peplêgeto mêrô chersi kataprêness', olophuromenos d' epos êuda: mê nun moi nemesêset' Olumpia dômat' echontes 115 tisasthai phonon huios iont' epi nêas Achaiôn, ei per moi kai moira Dios plêgenti keraunôi keisthai homou nekuessi meth' haimati kai koniêisin. hôs phato, kai rh' hippous keleto Deimon te Phobon te zeugnumen, autos d' ente' eduseto pamphanoônta. 120 If the characters don't come up right in the email, just go to: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0133 &layout=&loc=15.119 You can switch the display to the Greek characters if you want to. I was dead wrong. Homer gives Deimos, Phobos in that order, which Bryant translated as Fear, Flight, in that order, which Hall chose, in that order, to be the English names of Deimus, Phobus, which he discovered, in that order (despite the greater magnitude of Phobos). SO, if the deciding criterion is the nominative intent of the discoverer Hall, the English names on the IAU / USGS website are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! The question is not a definitive source, but a definitive or deciding criterion. There are some choices: 1. The intent of the discoverer and the exercise of the "naming right" in a case of a name of pre-IAU origin and undisputed at the time. In this case, it would be what is currently on the webpage. 2. The linguistic heritage of a loan-word or root in any given language. There's no doubt English has accepted the Greek "phobos" as a root for Fear, at this point in time. This is unlikely to change, as we're likely to continue to have phobias! On the other hand, "deimos" has not been borrowed into English, so there is no obvious choice for it. The English phobia postdates Hall's naming. We didn't have phobias until the psychiatric revolution of the early twentieth century. If you didn't like standing on the edge of a cliff or being locked in a closet, you were just a scaredy-cat, not phobic. You were teased, not drugged, enrolled in a support group, made "special." 3. Accepted Usage is another possible criterion. But we see that the usage of translators of Ancient Greek is all over the map, all of the time. But there's also the "Accepted Professional Usage" of astronomers who, for almost a century have been writing textbooks, the vast majority of which have translated Phobos as Fear and Deimos as something else! Panic, Terror, Dread, Flight, Rout... you name it, and occasionally re-naming Phobos, too. Doesn't seem that any of these astronomers ever objected to what the others were doing in the name-translation game, either. It was essentially a free-for-all. The problem is that there's nothing settled here; in both cases, the name translations can vary at will and at any time. Nomenclature is not supposed to work that way. The three criteria all have advantages and disadvantages. No. 2 is bad because it's indecisive about Deimos, so it doesn't apply to the whole case. No. 3 is bad because it is subject to change. In the case of adopting current Ancient Greek-to-English translation preferences, it will change constantly, or at least a three times a century. In the case of "professional" usage, it is clear about Phobos and vague about Deimos, just like No. 2, so it settles nothing. It was a partial free-for-all, and that is problem. Astronomers didn't settle it. They had their chance and didn't think it was important enough to pin it down. That leaves No. 1, which has a clear-cut rationale, based on a clear-cut principle, and produces a result that is fixed. If it is the criterion that applies, the matter of the meaning of the names in English is done, over, permanent, will never change, move along, there's nothi

I plan to sell it for $3 - $5 per gram. It is a beautiful specimen with lots of crust and should produce at least one super nice end cut and a variety of slices some of which could have a lot of crust. So of you're looking for a piece of Zag please check out the images at the below link and let me know what you're interested in. For instance - If you would like a heavy end cut (thick) or A nice thin slice in the 20 gram range or Something else Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I might be able to accommodate you. http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Zag/ Thanks __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] A question about an iron fleck in NWA 2977 Lunar
Hi list, I had a question about an iron fleck I found in a thin section of NWA 2977 Lunar. Jim Strope sent it to me. I plan to use this as next months Meteorite Times Micro Vision and want to be accurate. The thin is polished to 1/4 micron. This sometimes has the same effect as etching but on a much finer scale. I have observed it in other materials that get this kind of polish. There is a fleck of iron in this material. In this fleck is what looks like micro Widmanstatten pattern. Can this pattern be called Widmanstatten? If not, are the creation processes the same as with full sized Widmanstatten? How would it be still present in a lunar? Could the pattern survive a meteor collision with the moon and not be heated to the point of destruction? I would like to email micrographs to any one who is interested or, even better, might have the answers. The images are taken in incident cross polarized light and I am using a Glan/Thompson style polarizer that allows me near total extinction. I pull up the changes in the pattern by slight rotation of the polarizer. The magnification of these images is 1600X.

Hi Tom Please email your micrographs. From what I have read, the Widmanstatten pattern has plate sizes that change in size due to the rate of cooling, so a 'mini' pattern might not be possible.

[meteorite-list] A new question has reared it's ugly head....
Now I know that the moon has been mapped quite extensively, and the location of features very small have been plotted. A short time ago, a link to a cool video showing a meteor striking the moon, accompanied by a flash of light. Now I wonder, has anyone done a visual of the location, and noted a new crater there? I don't suppose that someone got very lucky and was watching the moon as one struck the moon, or alternately and preferred, captured a video of said event. The closest that I know of was the Shoemaker-Levy strike on The Big Guy---Jupiter, which was an awesome thing to see, by the way. Claxton is the only meteorite strike that was witnessed close up and in your face ( about 50 feet, give or take) that I know of. Monahan 1998 (about the same distance) was another strike very close to the witnesses, but I'm not sure if any of the seven kids saw it hit. Answers, anyone??

[meteorite-list] PS to "question rearing it's head"
To bad that he didn't have a tape recorder going. The clang as it hit must have been an awesome thing to hear. Pete __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

The video meteor strikes on the Moon have all involved shower components. Little bitty pieces, nowhere near large enough to make a crater detectable from the Earth.

David H. _ Hello Dave, and all, The Tucson Show will be from January 31 to February 14. For details go to: _www.mzexpos.com_ (http://www.mzexpos.com) I imagine the big social weekend will be Feb. 6, 7 and 8, with the Auction on Friday the 6th, and the Birthday Party on Saturday the 7th. Better not ask Michael Blood and Geoff Notkin quite yet; I am not sure they have fully recovered from the last one yet. ;-) But I do know that I will be there, in the same room at the InnSuites. I hope you will be able to make it too. Anne M.
