[meteorite-list] AD: Second Batch of West Full Slices In

[MeteorHntr]

Hey List,

I just got my second and final  batch of freshly cut West Full Slices in 
today from Marlin Cilz, and I now have  new photos up on Photobucket.  The new 
slices are the ones with the PINK  background instead of the yellow background.

I have only one remaining  slice from my first batch of full slices still not 
sold, the 26.2g #SK6.   These things have been moving fast.

FYI, I did get a Planetary to fill my  need request the other night, thanks 
for all the replies.  I am still open  to doing a trade for some Murchison if 
anyone might be interested.   

As I understand, Mr. Etter's Main Mass stone from near Aquilla has not  sold 
yet, so we still don't know if any more large slices will come on the  market 
from that stone.  I have not heard of any other large stones being  found so 
this might be it.  At least this might be the only large full  slices found 
before the rains.  But at least for a few more minutes, you  all know where you 
can still get a big large slice while they  last!

Someone reminded me that there was at least 4 times more Park  Forest 
recovered than West, and very little PF is on the market, and what can be  
found is 
in the $40/g range.  It will be interesting to see how hard West  will be to 
find a little down the road and then at what prices? 

Any  inquiries about these slices or the remaining whole stones I have of 
West  remaining, please respond to me directly, off list.

Thanks for your  consideration,
Steve Arnold

[meteorite-list] NOVA special on Holocene Start Impacts and AD

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi everyone - 

Set your video recorders:

http://www.umaine.edu/news/view_release.php?x=1237809989

PS 1 - Told you so. Now if anyone would like to reconsider 
their remarks about Hibben's observations, and share their 
views with the list, it might be appropriate. Hibben was a
pioneering archaeologist, and a man who suffered a serious
head wound while serving us all during the Second World War, 
a head wound which left him unable to defend his work when 
Velikovsky made such abysmal use of it. It was my privilege 
to defend him here.

PS 2 - Chicago Steve, thanks for the little gift. Perhaps after this 
economy picks back up, and your wife calms down a little, you'll 
return to the field, but maybe in a different way. There's always
craters to visit, and young people to give talks to.

good hunting, and here's to a better economy ahead,
E.P. Grondine
Man and Impact in the Americas
(The special offer to meteorite list members for personally signed 
copies of my book still holds - $20 plus $5 for priority mail shipping US, or 
plus $15 for shipping overseas.)

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update - March 12-18, 2009

[Ron Baalke]

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

SPIRIT UPDATE:  Getting Away from a Trouble Spot - sol 1845-1851, 
March 12-18, 2009:

Although Spirit will now attempt the western route around the low
plateau "Home Plate," it must first safely move away from difficult
terrain around the northeast corner of Home Plate. One tactical concern
was a potato-size rock near the inside of the right rear wheel that
posed a risk of getting stuck inside the wheel. Short maneuvers on Sol
1845 (March 12, 2009) and Sol 1847 (March 14, 2009) carefully moved the
rover away from this hazard. On Sol 1850 (March 17, 2009), Spirit moved
about 5 meters (16 feet), getting completely away from this trouble spot.

Spirit also conducted some panoramic camera (Pancam) imaging and
miniature thermal emission spectrometer (Mini-TES) spectral measurements
of various science targets in the vicinity and performed an atmospheric
argon measurement with the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS).

Atmospheric conditions have worsened lately over the Gusev site,
although no storm conditions have been reported.

As of Sol 1851 (March 18, 2009), Spirit's solar array energy production
has decreased to 230 watt-hours, down 18 percent from a week earlier.
Atmospheric opacity (tau) has increased sharply, to 1.19. The dust
factor on the solar array is 0.313, meaning that 31.7 percent of
sunlight hitting the solar array penetrates the layer of accumulated
dust on the array. The rover is in good health in spite of dustier skies.

As of Sol 1850 (March 17, 2009), Spirit's total odometry is 7,612.49
meters (4.73 miles).



OPPORTUNITY UPDATE:  At Outcrop with Endeavour in Sight - sol 1824-1831,
March 11-19, 2009:

Opportunity has positioned itself at an exposed rock outcrop and is in
the middle of an "in situ" (contact) science campaign with the robotic
arm (IDD). Because of the project team's desire to rest the right-front
wheel actuator and to limit driving while an earlier drive sequence
error is remedied, Opportunity took advantage of the nearby rock
outcrop. This fits with the strategic science campaign to periodically
stop and "taste" the geology along the route to Endeavour crater.

Part of the rim of Endeavour can now be seen on the distant horizon.

On Sol 1824 (March 11, 2009), Opportunity drove about 5 meters (16 feet)
to the exposed rock outcrop. The rover bumped (fined tuned its location)
only about half a meter (1.5 feet) on the next sol to reach a position
where surface targets are within the reach of the IDD. Because of the
degraded IDD Joint 1 (shoulder azimuth), positioning the IDD has become
more challenging, but it was accomplished successfully.

On Sol 1826 (March 13, 2009), Opportunity began the IDD work, first with
a Mössbauer spectrometer (MB) touch, then with a microscopic imager (MI)
mosaic. On Sol 1829 (March 17, 2009), additional MI mosaics were
collected, followed by the placement of the MB for several sols.
Additional ground testing was completed to prepare for the first use of
the rock abrasion tool (RAT) since the earlier failure of another of its
encoders.

As of Sol 1831 (March 19, 2009), Opportunity's solar array energy
production has dipped to 391 watt-hours in connection with atmospheric
opacity (tau) increasing to 0.934. The dust factor on the solar array is
0.533. The rover is in good health. Opportunity's total odometry is
15,051.41 meters (9.35 miles).

[meteorite-list] NASA and Microsoft to Make Universe of Data Available to the Public

RELEASE: 09-067

NASA AND MICROSOFT TO MAKE UNIVERSE OF DATA AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC

WASHINGTON -- NASA and Microsoft Corp. announced Tuesday plans to make 
planetary images and data available via the Internet under a Space 
Act Agreement. Through this project, NASA and Microsoft jointly will 
develop the technology and infrastructure necessary to make the most 
interesting NASA content -- including high-resolution scientific 
images and data from Mars and the moon -- explorable on WorldWide 
Telescope, Microsoft's online virtual telescope for exploring the 
universe. 

"Making NASA's scientific and astronomical data more accessible to the 
public is a high priority for NASA, especially given the new 
administration's recent emphasis on open government and 
transparency," said Ed Weiler, associate administrator for NASA's 
Science Mission Directorate in Washington. 

Under the joint agreement, NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett 
Field, Calif., will process and host more than 100 terabytes of data, 
enough to fill 20,000 DVDs. WorldWide Telescope will incorporate the 
data later in 2009 and feature imagery from NASA's Mars 
Reconnaissance Orbiter, known as MRO. Launched in August 2005, MRO 
has been examining Mars with a high-resolution camera and five other 
instruments since 2006 and has returned more data than all other Mars 
missions combined. 

"This collaboration between Microsoft and NASA will enable people 
around the world to explore new images of the moon and Mars in a 
rich, interactive environment through the WorldWide Telescope," said 
Tony Hey, corporate vice president of Microsoft External Research in 
Redmond, Wash. "WorldWide Telescope serves as a powerful tool for 
computer science researchers, educators and students to explore space 
and experience the excitement of computer science." 

Also available will be images from a camera aboard NASA's Lunar 
Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, when publicly released starting this 
fall. Scheduled to launch this May, LRO will spend at least a year in 
a low, polar orbit approximately 30 miles above the lunar surface 
collecting detailed information about the lunar environment. 

"NASA is excited to collaborate with Microsoft to share its portfolio 
of planetary images with students and lifelong learners," said S. 
Pete Worden, director of Ames. "This is a compelling astronomical 
resource and will help inspire our next generation of astronomers." 

This agreement builds on a prior collaboration with Microsoft that 
enabled NASA to develop 3-D interactive Microsoft Photosynth 
collections of the space shuttle launch pad and other facilities at 
NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The images featured on 
Microsoft's WorldWide Telescope will supplement existing imagery and 
data available on NASA's Web site, the Planetary Data System and 
other sources. 

The WorldWide Telescope is a Web 2.0 visualization environment that 
functions as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from 
ground- and space-based telescopes for a seamless, rich media guided 
exploration of the universe. Through WorldWide Telescope and 
Microsoft technology, people will be able to pan and zoom in on these 
images and the most interesting locations on Mars and the moon 
without distorted views at the poles. 

Attracting millions of users since its release last spring, WorldWide 
Telescope provides a base for teaching astronomy, scientific 
discovery and computational science. Tours with narration, music, 
text and graphics create interactive learning experiences that allow 
people to search, explore and discover the universe in a new and 
unique manner. Additional information and a free download of 
WorldWide Telescope can be found at: 

http://www.worldwidetelescope.org 

To further integrate the planetary data into WorldWide Telescope, Ames 
is developing a suite of planetary data processing tools. These 
software tools convert historic and current space imagery data into a 
variety of formats and images of the moon, Mars and other planetary 
bodies readily available for easy browsing and use by the general 
public, enabling the creation of enhanced educational tools for 
students and teachers. 

"NASA has a wealth of images and data, from the Apollo and Lunar 
Orbiter missions to Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Mercury 
Messenger flybys," said Chris C. Kemp, chief information officer at 
Ames. "This collaboration makes it possible for NASA to leverage 
exciting new Microsoft technologies to make NASA's data -- and 
America's space program -- more accessible to the public."

[meteorite-list] AD - Another batch!

[Impactika]

Hello everybody,

Yes, I just uploaded another batch of 40 or so pieces to my Catalog: 
_http://www.impactika.com/MetList.htm_ (http://www.impactika.com/MetList.htm) 
A very eclectic bunch, from Allende to Zag, with Begaa, D'Orbigny, Eagle 
Station, Monze, Moss, Holbrook, and many others in between. And lets not forget 
the classics: Claxton, L'Aigle, Peekskill, Weston,  they are there too. And 
so is the Moon (NEA 001 and NWA 5000).  

And there is still a lot to come.
In fact, if you are looking for something in particular, tell me!  I might 
very well have still waiting in a box. 
But, next I think it will be a batch of thin-sections.

Any questions, just email me.

Re: [meteorite-list] Field Museum Pritzker Collection

[Dark Matter]

Interesting.

And just last month I addressed the transition of the DuPont
collection to the Planetary Studies Foundation in my Accretion Desk
article on the Meteorite Times.

Meteorites 2.0
http://www.meteorite-times.com/Back_Links/2009/february/Accretion_Desk.htm

Now I'll have to go visit this new blended collection and write an update.

Best,

Martin

[meteorite-list] The basket-- delivered

[Darren Garrison]

Returning it was the honorable thing to do.  However, I think if I had managed
to buy that for 10 bucks, when a team of squirrel paleontologists found it
buried with my bones 10 million years in the future, it would initiate a flurry
of publications on Ape Age funerary rituals.

Long-lost meteorite comes home to Ariz.

by John Faherty - Mar. 24, 2009 12:00 AM
The Arizona Republic

It was never just any meteorite. Unlike most, this one had a name.

The "Basket" meteorite, which screamed to Earth 50,000 years ago, is shaped a
bit like a basket with a handle.

It was stolen from Meteor Crater east of Flagstaff back in August 1968.

The headline in The Arizona Republic said, "Nationwide police bulletin issued on
stolen meteorite."

Tom Lynch did not know any of this three years ago when he stopped at a garage
sale near his home in Wisconsin and spotted an odd hunk of metal. For sale. $10.

The retired GM worker liked the way the thing looked. It was bronze, he thought,
or maybe copper. "I figured, for $10, it was worth at least that in scrap," he
said.

But Lynch never scrapped it. Instead, he used it to hold down his young
grandson's plastic basketball stand. It weighed 49 pounds. "It worked just
perfect."

But then, he was watching the Travel Channel one day and he learned a little bit
about meteorites. Then, he learned a lot more.

Ultimately, he learned that this was no hunk of scrap metal. It was, in fact,
quite famous in an obscure kind of way.

On Monday, 40 years after it was stolen, Lynch brought the Basket meteorite
home.

The Basket meteorite began as part of the Canyon Diablo Meteor, which flew
roughly 40,000 mph. That's 11 miles per second, or 50 times the speed of sound.

Lynch calls himself a rummage-aholic. That means he goes to a lot of garage
sales.

He says he has no way of knowing exactly where he bought this thing three years
ago.

"Sometimes, I try to go back to a rummage sale on the same day I saw something,
and I can't find it," Lynch said. "So, I have no idea."

He also says that when he bought it, of course, he thought it was a piece of
scrap metal.

But he did begin to wonder about why it never rusted despite sitting outside for
three Wisconsin winters.

Then, Lynch saw a show about a woman who searched for meteorites.

He learned that one test for a meteorite is to see if a magnet sticks to it. So,
he got out a magnet.

"Like, bam," Lynch said. "Right to it."

He took the hunk to a museum in Milwaukee. Staff there sent him to the Field
Museum in Chicago.

Lynch said scientists there sawed off a small piece, tested it and figured it
was about 4.6 billion years old.

Eventually, the Field Museum and an amateur geoscientist Lynch had befriended
realized this uniquely shaped meteorite may have been the one missing from
Arizona.

The first substantial proof was a postcard, found on eBay, of the long-lost
meteorite.

"Basket meteor," the label on the postcard read. The picture was a match.

"I bought the meteorite for $10, and the postcard cost $15," Lynch said.

Meteor Crater is three-fourths of 1 mile across and nearly 700 feet deep.

The Basket meteorite was stolen on a busy Monday in summer.

It's possible somebody just picked it up and walked out.

"It had a handle, and back then they didn't worry about people stealing stuff
like we do now," said Brad Andes, president of Meteor Crater Enterprises.

What happened next remains a mystery.

Why steal it? Who did it? Where was it?

But the meteor never appeared on the market. And there is a market.

The objects can cost hundreds or thousands or more.

When Lynch first learned he had a genuine meteorite, he became excited about the
idea of selling his $10 find for some serious money.

But when he knew it had been stolen, he had no second thoughts.

"Call them people and tell them we got it and we'll give it back," Lynch told
the amateur geoscientists who had taken an interest in the meteorite. "It was
the right thing to do."

Lynch later learned that Meteor Crater Enterprises would pay him $1,000 for
knowing the right thing to do.

But it may have cost them a little more than that.

It was $1,000 plus two rooms at the hotel," Lynch said. "Plus, I told them I was
going to turn my granddaughter loose in the gift shop."

After the meteor crashed into the Earth, small fragments were scattered 7 miles
in each direction.

So, Lynch loaded up his meteorite and drove it across the country. On a cool and
crisp Monday morning, he opened the door of his van at the Meteor Crater
Interactive Learning Center.

The meteorite was sitting on the floor right behind the passenger seat, below
his granddaughter's feet.

Andes placed it on the parking lot and pulled out a picture of the real Basket
meteorite.

There was no doubt that this was the one. From the shape to the colors to the
protrusions and small holes, it was a perfect match.

Andes picked it up in both arms like a ba

[meteorite-list] Zaklodzie-Like NWA 4301 Description

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members,

It is my pleasure to offer a new meteorite that I have had for nearly three 
years. It is one of those great head-scratching, mind-boggling meteorites 
that makes one say, "How is that?!"


NWA 4301, a Zaklodzie-Like Ungrouped Enstatite-rich Achondrite found in 
Algeria in 2006 by nomadic tribesman. NWA 4301 is nearly identical to 
Zaklodzie, both in mineral composition and terrestrial age, about 300 years 
(The same scientist at NSF Arizona AMS Laboratory measured the terrestrial 
age dates of both meteorites). If they had not fallen 3000 km apart, NWA 
4301 would have been considered a pairing. While that is unlikely, 
scientists agree they are most likely source launch-paired! The Total Known 
Weight of NWA 4301 consists of a single 685 gram stone.




Close-up view of polished slice of NWA 4301 (depth of field = 2cm across):

http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa4301/nwa4301closeup.jpg



Scientists write:

"This meteorite [NWA 4301] is essentially a clone of Zaklodzie, for which . 
a very young terrestrial age of several hundreds of years [was found] (even 
though it is weathered to some extent).  I presume that the terrestrial ages 
of these two are analytically distinguishable, but it could still be that 
they are launch-paired."




"NWA 4301 seems much fresher than Zaklodzie."



"I believe that the [terrestrial ages] are permissive of both stones being 
part of the same fall, but landing 3000 km apart in Poland and Algeria.  Of 
course there is a very large uncertainty, so it does not prove it, but the 
two meteorites are remarkably similar and different from anything else."




Approved classification published in Meteoritical Bulletin 91 for NWA 4301:

Northwest Africa 4301

Mauritania or Algeria

Find: April 2006

Enstatite achondrite (ungrouped)

History: Purchased in April 2006 by G. Hupé from a Moroccan dealer in Rabat.

Physical characteristics: A single 685 g stone with some reddish external 
weathering.


Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS)

Subequigranular igneous cumulate texture with relatively coarse-grained 
(0.2-0.8 mm) silicate, metal, and sulfide grains. Composed mainly of 
polysynthetically twinned pure enstatite = 70 vol% and kamacite = 15 vol%, 
with subordinate interstitial plagioclase = 10 vol% and troilite = 5 vol%. 
Micrometer-size blades and blebs of kamacite and rare daubreelite also occur 
as inclusions within enstatite.


Mineral composition: Plagioclase (An30.7-37.6Or1.8-1.3).

Classification: Enstatite achondrite (ungrouped). Terrestrial weathering has 
produced some limonite along grain boundaries. This specimen is very similar 
in texture and mineral compositions to Zaklodzie.


Type specimen: A total of 22.9 g, one polished thin section and one polished 
mount, are on deposit at UWS. G. Hupé holds the main mass.




I will be making NWA 4301 available and will send a follow-up post which 
will have the limited amount of available specimens.

Greg

[Greg Hupe]

Dear Lists Members,

re: http://www.rocksfromspace.org/Hupe_West.html

I would like to thank Michael Johnson for putting together a web page of my 
West, Texas meteorites finds and photos of some of the sights. I consider 
the hunt more than just the stones, it was also a treasure to meet people 
who I had never met in person before, meeting new friends and the visual 
treasure we encountered that the farmlands of Texas had to offer.


"Thank You" again, Michael Johnson, very professional job and very kind of 
you to do!!!


I hope everyone enjoys the photos!
