Re: [meteorite-list] Question for type collectors
"Petrologic type" is really a term that only applies to chondrites. It was popularized in the classic paper: VAN SCHMUS W. R. and WOOD J. A. (1967) A chemical-petrologic classification for the chondritic meteorites. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31, 747-765 The term was meant to convey a sense of the degree of equilibration of chondrites. In the old days, there were only 6 defined petrologic types (1-6), making it easy on a collector or museum wishing to establish a reference collection. But now, the scale is interpreted more continuously, with nearly 30 subdivisions appearing in the literature in one place or another (1, 2.0-2.9, 3.01-3.05, 3.10, 3.15, 3.2-2.9, 4, 5, 6), as well as transitional types like 1/2, 3.6/3.7 or 4/5, and breccia mixtures like 4-6.. As for nonchondritic meteorites, petrologic type is undefined. For some of these, there are groups, like the groups of irons you mention, which are analogous to the groups of chondrites (H, L, LL, R, CV, etc.). Some of these are themselves subdivided, as is the IAB complex. For other achondrites, like mesosiderites, there aren't really groups defined, but they have been subdivided into petrographic classes and metamorphic grades, with designations like "B1" to show this. HEDs and ureilites are really messy. Textural terms, like the iron structural types you mention, or terms like "polymict," "brecciated," etc., are not really classification terms (in general). These are mostly descriptive terms. Use these to subdivide a collection with caution, as they may not be applied uniformly to all meteorites by all researchers.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question for type collectors
Hi Jeff and Michael, Thank you for the input. I think what I will do is subdivide my type list into two arbitrary categories - irons and everything else. So I will treat irons seperately. I will maintain my "petrologic type" count for stony, stony-iron, and everything else that doesn't fall under "irons". I asked all of this because I like to have a record of the various aspects of my collection - just in case someone asks me questions like - "How many lunars do you have?" or "How many types do you have?", or "How many witnessed falls?" , etc. Plus I am a statistics geek and I like to have everything in my collection accounted for and broken down to the Nth degree. ;) I have yet to break down my collection by country - that will come tonight. I need to do it now while my collection size is still manageable. Best regards, MikeG Here are some of the revised stats now - 29 witnessed falls, 55 finds - 84 total localities 29 witnessed falls 14 hammer falls (3 hammer stones) 42 petrologic types 5 iron types - IAB-MG, IIIAB, IVA, IAB-ung, unclassified (Las Palmas) 7 continents 18 USA falls and finds 10 US states - Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, New York, Texas 28 NWA finds 7 planetaries (3 Lunars, 4 Martians, 8 Vestans) 47 specimens <1 gram 27 specimens 1-9 grams 12 specimens 10-99 grams 2 specimens >100 grams .

[meteorite-list] Mars Spacecraft Teams on Alert for Dust-Storm Season
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2009-067 Mars Spacecraft Teams on Alert for Dust-Storm Season Jet Propulsion Laboratory April 15, 2009 PASADENA, Calif. -- Heading into a period of the Martian year prone to major dust storms, the team operating NASA's twin Mars rovers is taking advantage of eye-in-the-sky weather reports. On April 21, Mars will be at the closest point to the sun in the planet's 23-month, elliptical orbit. One month later, the planet's equinox will mark the start of summer in Mars' southern hemisphere. This atmospheric-warming combination makes the coming weeks the most likely time of the Martian year for dust storms severe enough to minimize activities of the rovers. "Since the rovers are solar powered, the dust in the atmosphere is extremely important to us," said Bill Nelson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., chief of the engineering team for Spirit and Opportunity. Unexplained computer reboots by Spirit in the past week are not related to dust's effects on the rover's power supply, but the dust-storm season remains a concern. Spirit received commands Tuesday to transmit more engineering data in coming days to aid in diagnosis of the reboots. After months of relatively clear air, increased haze in March reduced Spirit's daily energy supply by about 20 percent and Opportunity's by about 30 percent. Widespread haze resulted from a regional storm that made skies far south of the rovers very dusty. Conditions at the rovers' sites remained much milder than the worst they have endured. In July 2007, nearly one Martian year ago, airborne dust blocked more than 99 percent of the direct sunlight at each rover's site. The rovers point cameras toward the sun to check the clarity of the atmosphere virtually every day. These measurements let the planning team estimate how much energy the rovers will have available on the following day. Observations of changes in the Martian atmosphere by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which reached Mars in 2006, and NASA's Mars Odyssey, which reached Mars in 2001, are available to supplement the rover's own skywatch. The Mars Color Imager camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter sees the entire planet every day at resolution comparable to weather satellites around Earth. "We can identify where dust is rising into the atmosphere and where it is moving from day to day," said Michael Malin of Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, principal investigator for Mars Color Imager. "Our historical baseline of observing Martian weather, including data from the Mars Global Surveyor mission from 1998 to 2007, helps us know what to expect. Weather on Mars is more repetitive from year to year than weather on Earth. Global dust events do not occur every Mars year, but if they do occur, they are at this time of year." Two other instruments -- the Thermal Emission Imaging System on Mars Odyssey and the Mars Climate Sounder on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter -- monitor changes in airborne dust or dust-related temperatures in Mars' upper atmosphere. Orbiters also aid surface missions with radio relays, imaging to aid drive plans, and studies of possible future landing sites. When orbital observations indicate a dust-raising storm is approaching a rover, the rover team can take steps to conserve energy. For example, the team can reduce the length of time the rover will be active or can shorten or delete some communication events. In recent weeks, frequent weather reports from Bruce Cantor of Malin's Mars Color Imager team let the rover team know that the March increase in haziness was not the front edge of a bad storm. "Bruce's weather reports have let us be more aggressive about using the rovers," said Mark Lemmon, a rover-team atmospheric scientist at Texas A&M University, College Station. "There have been fewer false alarms. Earlier in the mission, we backed off a lot on operations whenever we saw a small increase in dust. Now, we have enough information to know whether there's really a significant dust storm headed our way." At other times, the weather reports prompt quick precautionary actions. On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008, the rover team received word from Cantor of a dust storm nearing Spirit. The team deleted a communication session that Sunday and sent a minimal-activity set of commands that Monday. Without those responses, Spirit would likely have depleted its batteries to a dangerous level. Winds that can lift dust into the air can also blow dust off the rovers' solar panels. The five-year-old rover missions, originally planned to last for three months, would have ended long ago if beneficial winds didn't occasionally remove some of the dust that accumulates on the panels. A cleaning event in early April aided Opportunity's power output, and Spirit got two minor cleanings in February, but the last major cleaning for Spirit was nearly a full Martian year ago. Nelson said, "We're all hoping we'll get another good cleaning." JPL, a

[meteorite-list] new Utah fall?
Greetings listees, I have purchased some land in Utah, and am making plans to move there, and therefore have developed an interest in obtaining some Utah meteorites. (As good an excuse as any, right?) There are 19 meteorites listed in the Bulletin, only 6 of which have TKW's exceeding 1kg. I received search results from E-Bay today fitting that description, but I am highly skeptical of the ad. Check it out: http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1 First of all, the account of the fall sounds a bit dubious in spots. And no photos are available, due to "camera problems". The recovered specimen had a glow the size of a golf ball, but is only described as being 9mm. Is that the longest dimension? No weight given. The other, unrecovered one, appeared to be the size of a basketball. And he'll lead us right to the search area. All this for only $1600. Small unphotographed specimen of undisclosed weight included. ;^) Any takers? By the way, I inquired, seeking more info and evidence, but have had no reply at this point. I've only been collecting 2 or 3 years, but I haven't seen an ad quite like this until now. Any thoughts from those of you more experienced? Thank you for your input.

This auction is a bit dubious in the same way that the Tasmanian Devil is a bit peckish. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310135588386 I'm not only offering this meteorite I saw with a friend, travel up to fourteen miles before it hit the ground in front of our vision off to the right of the road in front of my vehicle at night. But as well I will lead a professional collector to another area in which I had seen one fall and hit behind one of my favorite fishing holes at daylight. If winner helps me find it, I will allow them to keep it and do whatever they want with the new find and along with the one I'm offering here. The one that fell behind my fun fishing area was glowing a bright green with a white tail in where the light green object appeared to be a glow at the size of a basket ball. Winner will also need to travel up to my area and then another twenty-five miles out and then back. I've looked for serious collectors around my hometown and had not found one interested. It's your call meteor collectors!! And winner will be in for some other shocking surprise after we meet and if they are able to find this one. Every metal detector that someone loaned to me had failed and appeared to not work as well as I wished. The one meteor I did retrieve is under 9mm in length and its glow was a bright white color with an apparent size for glow being close to the size of a golf ball. We had nearly traveled six miles before it crossed in front of our path and hit the ground to the right side of the paved road about fifteen feet away. "If I had been going any faster than 60 mph I would of been hit in the head. So now you know what its projectory was at as it traveled. We had first spotted it approximately fourteen miles away, traveled a little while, and it had seemed it was taking its time until the surprising moment." I will be able to also show winner a head of time where the meteor hit nearest to my fishing hole by satellite and then I will lead them out to the area and help them navigate the search. Winner needs to be a reliable professional and detectors have to be able to detect the meteor through perhaps some mineralized ground up to two feet deep or more. I have used detectors most of all my life and within this area there is no acceptions. The detectors lent to me were more powerful but appeared to be well used and had problems. Sincerely' the Fulgurite Man of Utah Added on April 15th: "I just recently found out where another one came in and fell due to two other fellows that don't even know each other yet. They both saw it fly pass them at the exact timing. And I retrieved their stories at two different dates. So I know where it hit. The second fellow was just listening to my story about my story here last night, and he opened up about the same one the other friend told me about happening in the same location. So I know its fact!

[meteorite-list] AD - Nice LL4 S3 W1 Chondrite slices available
I have listed some nice 2mm slices of the new LL4 S3 W1 that has been tested by Anthony Love at Appalachain State on ebay. I also have some others available off ebay for $1 per gram less then the ebay listings (due to high ebay final value fees) I am asking $4 per gram off ebay, $5 from ebay. You can view the listing here: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/star_wars_coiiector Or email me for pictures of the other samples available. Weight of the slices are from 3.5g - 18.45g This is some really nice material that has not only bleached chondrules but also armored chondrules. most of the slices have fusion crust.
