Re: [meteorite-list] Meteoroid burned up before impact on Mars
I doubt if any meteorite impacts (in the usual sense) cause fires. There's simply no mechanism by which meteorites can be particularly hot. Of course, if a meteoroid hits while still carrying some of its original velocity, a lot of energy can be released. But such an event is extremely rare. One in millions at least. Even assuming the explanation for the pattern on Mars is correct (which seems far from certain), it's clear that this sort of thing is very rare. On Earth, with its much denser atmosphere, it should be rarer still.

With best wishes from Ries-impact crater, Thomas Kurtz __ East of Jovis Tholus and in the midst of the Tharsis Volcanic field this dark, rayed spot is seen. Most likely this mark represents the shock wave of an incoming meteoroid that burned up before impact. The shock wave blasted the fine material away, leaving the darker basaltic surface exposed. http://themis.asu.edu/zoom-20080813a -- GMX startet ShortView.de.

Re: [meteorite-list] Dealers posting eBay auction announcements
Hi All, Everyone made great points about this. I've received emails from people asking me to notify them directly of my auctions ending, and sometimes they email saying they missed the announcement altogether. "Auction Ended!" Arrrg... To stop this from happening and to keep from bombarding the Met-List with "Auctions Ending Soon" emails, I have a list of dealers and customers that receive my updates and auction announcements direct to their email box. This gives faster response and allows buyers to jump on a deal they want and not miss out. If you are not on this list and want to be able to have direct access immediately after we post our auctions please go here and type in your email address. http://www.meteoritesusa.com/newsletter/ This will add you to the list and you'll get announcements IMMEDIATELY! You will not have to wait and miss an opportunity to buy again.

[meteorite-list] Full size micrograph offer NWA 969 LL7
Tom wrote: "I want to share a beautiful meteorite micrograph that seems to have everything, color, clarity and interest. It is taken of NWA 969 LL7. Please email me for a full size attachment of this image. This one is worth checking out!" Hi Tom and List, Color: The pictures I've taken of my thin section fully support Tom's description of the NWA 969 (LL6/7*). It is very colorful: the pyroxenes and olivines come along in all shades of blue, purplish red, brown, orange, yellow, gray, and olive(-green) when viewed in cross-polarized light. Clarity: Usually I have to enhance the clarity of the JPEGs a little with the help of my Adobe Photo Shop computer program but in this case I had to reduce both the brightness and the contrast of the pictures. *According to the correction in the MetBull and I agree with this correction because my TS actually shows a relict barred olivine chondrule that has been torn to pieces by some process but is still recognizable and it must have been pretty large! Interest: Tom, I would surely love to see your micrograph, especially if it shows those infamous "trains of f l u i d inclusions". Remember the nickname the Hupés gave this meteorite? They dubbed it the "meteorite with bottled water".

[meteorite-list] "Meteorwritings" Episode Two
Dear Listees: Greetings from Tucson. Hot and sunny today as usual. For those who are interested, I'd like to announce that the second installment of my ongoing monthly column about our favorite subject -- "Meteorwritings" -- has just been published on Dr. Hobart King's Geology.com See www.geology.com front and center. Previous editions of the column will be permanently archived on the site, and can be reached from the current article: http://geology.com/meteorites/meteorite-types-and-classification.shtml My very talented design and photography assistant Leigh Anne DelRay worked with me on a new selection of original photos for the column which, this month, include Brenham (siderite), Sikhote-Alin, Millbillillie, Allende, Imilac, and Vaca Muerta. All of the images click-to large versions. I hope you find the column and photographs interesting.

[meteorite-list] Full size micrograph offer NWA 969 LL7 to print.
Hi everyone, I want to share a beautiful meteorite micrograph. Once in a while one comes along that (at least to me) seems to have everything, color, clarity and interest. It is taken of NWA 969 LL7 and the slide belongs to Jeff Krosschell. For you slide aficionados, I think the slide is for sale but that is not what this is about. I will send the image in full size. I recently changed cameras and this image is 3.4 mp so it would make an excellent 8X10 to add to your meteorite room. My previous work was at 1.1 mp which was a little to small for prints. Finding the right camera has not been an easy task. I have tried at least 20 in the last 6 months. One of the most recent tries was the new Nikon 5100 12.1 mp. I had high hopes but after putting it through 3 different microscope adapters, I finally accepted I could not get the results out of it I was looking for. I won't trade quality for pixel size. I sent that camera to my son who just got stationed in Hawaii. He'll have plenty to photograph there! Anyway, please email me for a full size attachment of this image. This one is worth checking out!
