Re: [meteorite-list] Lindfors avalanche!

I've asked him to stop, too, but he hasn't done it.  This calendar 
year I've received a minimum of 3801 e-mails from him (~11/day) with 
84,805 JPG attachments.  I say "minimum" because our IT guy just 
trashes them if I don't clean up my mail box every few days.  I 
derive some bizarre pleasure from counting them.



At 11:11 26-12-09 Saturday, you wrote:

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Deaths? Interesting old article-read

[mail]

A friend sent this link to me in regard to the Bear Creek meteorite.


Near the end of the text it details the deaths of 3 monks and 2  
Swedish sailors by meteorite impact!

Has anyone heard of this?  The passage reads:

 "A few instances are on record of buildings being struck and set on  
fire and persons struck dead by the fall of aerolites.  These Three  
monks were killed, one on the 4th September 1611, at Crema (?),  
another at Milan, in 1650, and a third in the same place in 1660.  In  
1674 two Swedish sailors on board ship were killed by the fall of one."


Having never heard of this I searched the Catalog of Meteorites and  
came up blank.  Has anyone heard of these falls and can they be  
substantiated?

[meteorite-list] Tucson - activity first weekend

[Linton Rohr]

Ahoy there listees.
I'm wondering how much activity there will be the first couple days of the 
show. I've heard a couple folks say that it takes a couple days for everyone 
to get the rooms up and running. I was only there a few days in the middle 
of last year's show, but had a great time, and brought home some nice 
pieces.
This year, I had been planning on arriving Saturday the 30th, to get an 
early start on my shopping, but I just realized I have concert tickets for 
Sunday the 31st. I'm not sure weather to show up in Tucson Monday, or blow 
off the concert. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

[meteorite-list] UPDATE RE: Whetstone Mountains Monograph

[Dave Gheesling]

Rob, Greg & All,

Rob, your comments below re: the Limited Edition Whetstone Mountains
meteorite monograph being a "value for the small price" were much
appreciated, as that was most definitely the intent of the offering.
There's no telling where the one-time eBay listing I posted last week will
end, but from the looks of it this notion of value seems to be on target as
Jack and I had hoped:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180448321242 

Thanks again to all of you who have purchased copies, particularly to those
who did so sight-unseen when the monograph was first introduced last month!

All the best, and Happy New Year!

Don't worry Linton, and don't keep Beethoven waiting.
 
By coming to the Tucson show during the first weekend, you will miss on 
some of the entertainment, like the IMCA dinner, the Birthday Bash, and the 
Auction, but you will certainly have a better choice of meteorites.
 
Unless the weather really stops me (and this year it could happen!) I am 
planning on reaching Tucson Thursday evening, so Geoff and I will have all day 
Friday to set up the room. And Saturday morning the room should be ready

I've a week off and was wondering if any information regarding the

Any information regarding the location of the strewnfield, would be

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Deaths? Interesting old article-read

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi, Matt, List,

On September 14, 1511, in Cremona in Lombardy,
Italy, a monk, several birds, and a sheep were killed
by meteorites.

Sometime between 1647 and 1654, two sailors on a
ship en route from Japan to Sicily, while in the Indian
Ocean, were killed by meteorites.

Sometime between 1633 and 1664, a monk in Milan
was killed by a meteorite which severed his femoral
artery, causing him to bleed to death.

Chinese records of lethal impact events include the
death of 10 victims from a meteorite fall in 616 AD, an
"iron rain" in the O-chia district in the 14th century
that killed people and animals, several soldiers injured
by the fall of a "large star" in Ho-t'ao in 1369, and many
others. The most startling is a report of an event in early
1490 in Ch'ing-yang, Shansi, in which many people
were killed when stones "fell like rain." Of the three
known surviving reports of this event, one says that
"over 10,000 people" were killed, and one says that
"several tens of thousands" were killed.

There is a discussion of these and many more such
incidents in John S. Lewis, "Rain of Iron and Ice," 1996.

One could collect pages and pages of early accounts of
meteorite falls and pages more of events that could well
be meteoritic although those that wrote the accounts
did not know of the idea that stones could fall from the
sky. You could fill a book... and people have.

A catalogue of meteorites is not a book of reported falls;
it is a book of collected and curated falls. The oldest
curated stone is NOGATA, which fell May 19, 861 AD.
It hit a shrine and has been kept there ever since. The
meteorite that hit a house in NARA (then the capital
city of Japan) in 764 AD doesn't count because nobody
has it safely curated.


...can they be substantiated?


No more or less than the rest of history. They tell me
Julius Caesar was assassinated. That's the story. Most
agree that it happened. No one wrote to deny it. It's the
story I always heard, so I believe it, like I do all the rest
of history. But I wasn't there, I haven't checked the DNA
on the dagger, I don't know where he was buried, I haven't
read the autopsy report. I'm more than a carpet fiber away
from proving the case...

Three Chinese historical chronicles recount the huge
meteorite fall and thousands of deaths in Ch'ing-yang,
Shansi, in late February or early March of 1490. It's as
much history as Caesar's assassination is, no more, no
less. It's as "substantiated" as any history. There were
no Ming Dynasty tabloid news stories. History-writing
was politically sensitive and historians were occasionally
executed for falsity, particularly about "heavenly" events.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Deaths? Interesting old article-read



A friend sent this link to me in regard to the Bear Creek meteorite.


Near the end of the text it details the deaths of 3 monks and 2 
Swedish sailors by meteorite impact!

Has anyone heard of this?  The passage reads:

 "A few instances are on record of buildings being struck and set on 
fire and persons struck dead by the fall of aerolites.  These Three 
monks were killed, one on the 4th September 1611, at Crema (?), 
another at Milan, in 1650, and a third in the same place in 1660.  In 
1674 two Swedish sailors on board ship were killed by the fall of 
one."


Having never heard of this I searched the Catalog of Meteorites and 
came up blank.  Has anyone heard of these falls and can they be 
substantiated?

Re: [meteorite-list] Lindfors avalanche!

[Steve Dunklee]

why not forward all his messages back to him but do it twice? if you really 
want to make a point put his address in a super spammer site that will send him 
10k emails a day. Actually it would be better to use your mail settings to 
block his ip address so if they change the  address it still goes into your 
spam box. the ip address should be attached to the documents or photos sent. 
yahoo stores them in a file called ypager. I'm not sure about other mail  
servers. I could tell you more if i could dissect one of the emails, but I am 
not interested in becoming one of the next victims.
Have a spam free day!
