[meteorite-list] Martian Imaging Software + Mars surface object
Hi folks, The MERDAT software has been updated. It is now called MERDATX+ It will now do Mars Pathfinder, Phoenix, Viking, Mariner 4 as well as MER images. This is for standard image filetypes, bmp, jpg, gif, tif, etc. It can save products as bmp, jpg, gif. It has a companion for viewing PDS *.img files called SojournerViewer1, this uses python scripts and requires python 2.5.4 These are for XP and MERDAT is standalone. To view some screenshots, see http://www.vk3ukf.com/ Also, your thoughts on the possibility of this being some Mars 3 hardware. http://www.marsroverblog.com/while-searching-for-missing-spacecraft-i-found.html _ View photos of singles in your area Click Here http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fdating%2Eninemsn%2Ecom%2Eau%2Fsearch%2Fsearch%2Easpx%3Fexec%3Dgo%26tp%3Dq%26gc%3D2%26tr%3D1%26lage%3D18%26uage%3D55%26cl%3D14%26sl%3D0%26dist%3D50%26po%3D1%26do%3D2%26trackingid%3D1046138%26r2s%3D1_t=773166090_r=Hotmail_Endtext_m=EXT __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] AD: two different type L3 chondrites ending at Ebay tomorrow
Dear fellow List members, For those of you interested in type 3 chondrites: I have the following ending at Ebay tomorrow (all started at $0.01): NWA 5729 L3.5 S1 W2: First time offered for sale! Low TKW. Bleached chondrules (bulls eye chondrules) are visible in both sale items of this meteorite. The specimens have been sanded with a coarse grid (325grid diamond disk). I chose this coarse grid, because I like the overall appearance it gives. Polishing would be ideal to show the bleached chondrules though. NWA 5730 L3.2 S2 W1: Beautiful FRESH chondrules! http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/rob1612mar Thanks, Rob Lenssen IMCA #1681 __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Request from Kenya on suspect rock
..and flint placed in a camp fire will crack and even explode and can actually fly many feet into the air, that may explain a) the falling from the sky bit and b) the fire scorching on one end. - Flint would be my bet!

Re: [meteorite-list] Richard Norton
I've been on vacation for the last week and haven't been keeping up with the List. Richard's passing was terrible news. I had the privilege of meeting him and Dorothy once at Tucson, and it was a joy. My copies of RFS are treasured research tools, and I regret not having picked up a copy of his Field Guide sooner. The field of meteorics has lost a great advocate, writer, researcher, and mentor. My great condolences to Dorothy. Tracy Latimer _ Hotmail® has ever-growing storage!

[meteorite-list] Lloydminster woman cashing in on meteorite sales
Meteorites sell, they really do... They were like, 'Oh my gosh, you could sell these.' Lloydminster woman cashing in on meteorite sales Months after a fireball soared through western Canadian skies and crashed to the ground, fragments from the meteor are red-hot sellers on the internet. Tara Patmore, who lives in Lloydminster, a city on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, was among dozens of people out looking for space rocks after the meteor scattered fragments around Buzzard Coulee, Sask., on Nov. 20. Her father phoned her to say rocks had fallen where he lived, about 30 kilometres southeast of Lloydminster, and soon she and her family were on a meteorite-hunting expedition. It turned out a record number of meteor pieces had fallen on the area. Just me, my husband and my kids, we found 21 pieces, she said. It kind of almost looks like black coal. Some of them also have, like chips broken off from falling to the earth, and on the inside they almost look like concrete. Patmore put pictures of her meteorites on a Facebook page, to the amazement of her friends. They were like, 'Oh my gosh, you could sell these.' So, she did, selling them online. Before long, the offers started coming. One of the rocks was a little smaller than a toonie and we sold it for 800 bucks, she said. I couldn't believe that people would pay that much for a rock... [but] If they're going to pay it, I'm going to take it. Patmore's mother and father donated dozens of the space rocks to the University of Calgary. More rocks will be donated to a university that's still to be determined. Other rocks, the family will keep. Patmore said that after the money is spent, she'll still have a lot of memories of her adventures in the meteorite fields.

[meteorite-list] Buzzard Coulee - Info Wanted
Hola All, I've been looking at planning a trip to Buzzard Coulee in the near future. Is there anyone who has been to the area who could help with contact information for locals, potential problems (I know the export laws), strewn-field data, things like that? I'd be going without my father, so I'd like to try to get somewhat organized before heading off.
