Re: [meteorite-list] Christian Anger
I just opened my mail and the shock was immediate: 51 mails entitled: Christian Anger! Could not be some good news. Christian was, since the first edition of Ensisheim show, our brightest light, our eternal smiling, a happy to live, cool, energetic, joking, teasing, dancing, charming, funny, blasting personbut also one of the most elegant, gentle, gracious, courteous guys. When he would show up in Ensisheim (he was among the first to comefrom quite far away), he had a pack of that strangely delicious Austrian beer for us to taste. But also lots of meteorites in his bags, for ambulant trade and for the consignment room. The superb 48 g crusted Maigatari-Danduma he displayed there for sale as premium, immediately went into my collection, along with the text describing its weird quest Christian had personally written. Christian soon became our Brother-Ensi-Meteorite-Guardian. And he truly deserved this honor, not only through his highly avid passion, competence and love towards meteorites, but also for his immense kindness, enthusiasm and respect towards children and young amateurs. And, oh yes, the Saturday evening fevers could not have been what they were without Christian's deep impact. I also was so lucky to meet him last November in Munich and we promised each-other to have a great Ensisheim again next year. My friend, now that I start realizing this won't happen, I promise you will never be forgotten. You are our first brother to have gone somewhere over there, where you are now, I am sure, happy and in peace. I am right now planning for your memory some special treat next June and am sure all the people there will join, so as to be so close to you again. I will badly miss your strange Austrian beverage! Jean-Marie Blosser (who does not read our posts) and me, on behalf of the whole Ensisheim Confraternity of Ensi Meteorite Guardians, are joining our heartfelt condolences and sympathy to his family and close friends.

Re: [meteorite-list] Christian Anger
I was deeply saddened to read this tragic news. Christian was one of the first people I bought a meteorite from and he was only too happy to help me out then and at all times. I was delighted that I could serve on the IMCA Board with Christian when he was voted onto it in the first election. My thoughts are with his close friends and family during this difficult time.

Re: [meteorite-list] Christian Anger
Terrible news, very hard to acknowledge. People like Christian, and particularly him, made events like Munich and the Ensisheim show such a great experience. Such an open minded, enthusiatic and delightful person he was, I can not imagine anybody who did not like him. So many hillarious summer nights where we all sat together on the Ensisheim regency square talking, laughing and singing, until the last bottle was emptied - out out brief candle - it shall be no more. Christian, fellow brother of the Ensiheim-meteorite Guardians, companion of many invaluable moments, you will be truly missed.

[meteorite-list] Christian Anger
Dear List I too was shocked to hear of the death of Christian. I did get the opportunity to speak to him briefly at Ensisheim and he struck me as gentle giant and a fine pillar of the meteorite community. Like Zelimir, when I opened my e-mail inbox this morning, a chill went through down my spine when I saw the 50+ mails with the subject: Christian Anger. My deepest condolences go out to his family for their sad loss.

[meteorite-list] WG: Christian
(From Mike) I am shocked and saddened by the loss of Christian, a friend who was taken long before his time. I met Christian for the first time at the Gifhorn show, like 1997 perhaps 98. He was one of the friendliest people on this planet, always smiling, joking, laughing. Never in a hurry, always drinking wine (among stronger things) with me every year in Ensisheim until the sun came up. The meteorite world has lost a true friend, and my prayers are for his family now. Goodbye Christian, it won't be the same without you.

Re: [meteorite-list] Christian Anger
These are very, very sad news. Christian will truely be missed, and my thoughts and prayers are with his friends and relatives. I knew Christian since many years, and he used to visit me at my home prior to the Ensisheim shows to talk about our favorite passion, and to show off or to trade rocks from space. He was one of the kindest persons you can imagine, always friendly and joking, with a big heart at the right place. His passing away leaves a void that can't be filled. There are a lot of anecdotes that come to my mind when I think of Christian, too many to tell. One is a story around the large main mass of HaH 173 which Christian traded from me years ago. The interior of that L6 was very fresh (W0-1), but the mass had been buried in the desert and it was totally covered with a tough caliche coating making it an ugly duckling. However, Christian could see the swan in it, and in weeks of meticulous work he manually removed all the caliche - I didn't recognize the mass when he sent me a picture of it! It really looked like a fresh fall as Christian had managed to bring out the original fusion crust which was hidden under the caliche coating. Christian always had a great passion for his meteorites, and handled them with utmost care. Whenever he purchased a slice he manually polished it so that he could also enjoy it under the microscope. He was an exemplary curator of his space rocks, second to none. And he was a great guy, a real buddy. I had the pleasure to serve with him on the IMCA Board of Directors, the pleasure to have him as a fellow Brother of the Ensisheim Meteorite Brotherhood of Guardians, and - last but not least - as a friend. Christian: your great sense of humor and your passion will sorely be missed. Godspeed!

Re: [meteorite-list] Christian Anger
Hello Robert, Anne, list, Anger is a medieval German word which means place, covered by grass or, more concrete: a public place like a meadow f.e. which could be used by all inhabitants of a village or a small town, for meeting, coming together, for dancing, for herding the cattle during the night. This meaning has a pleasant aura of common life, relaxation, celebration, intimacy. If you like, please listen to Uf dem anger, a medieval poem with music by Carl Orff (Carmina Burana) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8FR5tft6G0 , evoking the villagers on the Anger, celebrating the beginning of springtime, the awakening of nature after a long winter (Anne Black in the Rockies, listen!). As I already wrote on the German meteorite forum, I knew Christian only by email-exchange. I sent him the last mail on dec. 10th, only four days before he died. He was so patient, open-minded and friendly, this sudden death is really hard to believe. So let's stay together.

Re: [meteorite-list] Scientists Publish 1st Ever Evidence of Asteroids with Earth-like Crust
I think a good amount of Earth had to have been tossed into space just from Meteor Crater impact (forgetting that many other much larger impacts have taken place) It seems very possible to me that such material could make its way back to Earth in time, or even shortly after impact if the escape velocity was not strong enough to completely break free from Earths gravity.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Two rare meteorites found in Antarctica two years ago are from a previously unknown, ancient asteroid with an outer layer or crust similar in composition to the crust of Earth's continents, reports a research team primarily composed of geochemists from the University of Maryland. Published in the January 8 issue of the journal Nature, this is the first ever finding of material from an asteroid with a crust like Earth's. The discovery also represents the oldest example of rock with this composition ever found. These meteorites point to previously unrecognized diversity of materials formed early in the history of the Solar System, write authors James Day, Richard Ash, Jeremy Bellucci, William McDonough and Richard Walker of the University of Maryland; Yang Liu and Lawrence Taylor of the University of Tennessee and Douglas Rumble III of the Carnegie Institution for Science. What is most unusual about these rocks is that they have compositions similar to Earth's andesite continental crust -- what the rock beneath our feet is made of, said first author Day, who is a research scientist in Maryland's department of geology. No meteorites like this have ever been seen before. Day explained that his team focused their investigations on how such different Solar System bodies could have crusts with such similar compositions. We show that this occurred because of limited melting of the asteroid, and thus illustrate that the formation of andesite crust has occurred in our solar system by processes other than plate tectonics, which is the generally accepted process that created the crust of Earth. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

For all of you who did not know Christian Anger, he was an expert meteorite collector and a very friendly guy. In his real life he was an Engineer, and lived near Vienna, Austria. He leaves behind an (ex)wife and two little girls. And I still remember when we were waltzing together in Ensisheim, in much happier times. Anne M.

Inc. _http://www.imca.cc/_ (http://www.imca.cc/) Hello Anne, today I received an email from Harald Stehlik, that our good friend Christian Anger had on 14.dec 2009 a very heavy car accident and he died. I am very shocked and sad, because Christian was not only a collector but a friend. Everybody know how much fun we had when we were togheter. We had also other private contact and were real friends. At first he told me that he cannot come to the Munich show, because he had so many private problems in his mind. Then he called me thursday evening when I was in Munich that he decided to come. So he was with us friday evening at the Fliegerbräu and stayed in Munich till sunday afternoon. He helped me to bring some of my material back into the car sunday afternoon. This was the last time I saw him. True friendship never ends..

Re: [meteorite-list] AD-Wire saw is operational-Kerfindustries.com
Aloha Listoids, I'd like to concur with Michael about the quality of services that Matt and Gary (under Kerf Industries) have provided the Big Kahuna. You can see some of their work on my material currently on ebay now, including the Park Forest slices. You will also see their work on some jaw-dropping new meteorites that I will be premiering in the next few weeks. Cutting loss was 5% and they were wikiwiki with their delivery. On top of that, their prices are very reasonable, and one of the reasons how I can offer prepared material at such affordable prices to collectors. Kerf Industries is da bomb. You should try 'em out if you need cutting and preparation services. Just don't slam 'em when I need my stones cut ;^) gary On Jan 14, 2010, at 12:25 PM, Michael Blood wrote: Hi All, Gary and Matt cut some rare hammer material for me and The loss was under 10% and the slices were PERFECT.

[meteorite-list] Spirit Rover Update: Just a Few More Approaches to Try for Extrication
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-012 Just a Few More Approaches to Try for Extrication Jet Propulsion Laboratory January 13, 2010 The list of remaining maneuvers being considered for extricating Spirit is becoming shorter. Results are being analyzed Wednesday, Jan. 13, from a drive on Sol 2143 (Jan. 12, 2010) using intentionally very slow rotation of the wheels. Earlier drives in the past two weeks using wheel wiggles and slow wheel rotation produced only negligible progress toward extricating Spirit. The right-front wheel has not rotated usefully since Sol 2117 (Dec. 16, 2009). With the right-rear wheel also inoperable since Sol 2099 (Nov. 28, 2009), Spirit now drives with only four wheels. Pending results of the latest drive, the rover team is developing plans for their final few attempts, such as driving backwards and using Spirit's robotic arm to sculpt the ground directly in front of the left-front wheel, the only working wheel the arm can reach. Such activities may take several sols to implement, but time is getting short as winter approaches and the team needs to focus on Spirit's winter survival. The amount of energy that Spirit has each day is declining as autumn days shorten on southern Mars. If NASA does determine that the rover will not be able to get away from its current location, some maneuvers to improve the tilt toward the winter sun might be attempted. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/features.cfm?feature=2447 Infrared Hunt Begins: WISE Starts All-Sky Survey Jet Propulsion Laboratory January 14, 2010 NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) began its survey of the infrared sky today. The mission will spend nine months scanning the sky one-and-a-half times in infrared light, revealing all sorts of cosmic characters -- everything from near-Earth asteroids to young galaxies more than ten billion light-years away. WISE, which launched Dec. 14, 2009, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, will uncover hundreds of thousands of asteroids, and hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies. Its vast catalog of data will provide astronomers and other missions with data for mine for decades to come. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The principal investigator, Edward Wright, is at UCLA. The mission was competitively selected under NASA's Explorers Program managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. The science instrument was built by the Space Dynamics Laboratory, Logan, Utah, and the spacecraft was built by Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

[meteorite-list] Strewnfield or Strewn Field?

I hope you all enjoyed it. If you haven't read it yet please do so. It's a good informative read, and even has some pretty pictures too. ;) The reason for this email is to ask about proper use of the word(s) strewnfield. While researching the article I noticed that the numerous websites on the internet had 2 ways of spelling the it. Should it be Strewnfield one word... or Strewn Field two seperate words? Every time I type in strewnfield in a search it comes up with Did you mean? strewn field with a space. I've seen it described as Strewn field on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strewn_field Then in the paragraph just below it reads strewnfield all one word again. To make matters more confusing Encyclopedia Britannica has the word with a hyphen i.e; strewn-field. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/569002/strewn-field Google shows 67,500 results for the phrase strewn field and the same amount for strewn-field with a hyphen, meaning they don't recognize the hyphen. Google also shows 23,700 results for the single word strewnfield. Not to mention the many articles and papers all over the internet with ALL 3 ways of usage of the word.

Re: [meteorite-list] Strewnfield or Strewn Field?
This is English you're talking about. What is correct is determined by usage. Strewn field is undoubtedly acceptable, and is the traditional way of writing it. However, there is a growing trend in recent English usage to construct hybrid or portmanteau words- especially in technical areas (thus, webpage is now probably more common than web page). So it isn't surprising to see strewnfield used more often these days. Hyphenated words seem to be falling out of favor somewhat. IMO, any form is fine, but you should exercise consistency. It would be distracting to see it used different ways in the same discussion.

Re: [meteorite-list] Strewnfield or Strewn Field?
Yes Chris, I fully agree with you regarding the falling out of hyphenated words. Another such example is portmanteau you are using here in your post. This word derives from the French porte-manteau (laterally coat (and hat) rack) that is now currently written (yes, even in French) portemanteau. But English still went a step forward by omitting the e. And now in dictionary (e.g. Harrap's Shorter) or on i-Google, you can find that English portmanteau translates into French portemanteau, word that has now 2 different meanings in English (coat rack and hybrid word). Another such example that puzzled me at the time was South-East, written as such on official maps showing South-East Alaska areas. However, when in the area, i noted everywhere (streets, posts stuck on walls...) Southeast. Usage to which I am quite favorable. BTW: in the Harraps, strewnfield does not exist. But now, here in France, since meteorites became popular, the English word strewnfield (never strewn field) is more and more used asa (bastard) French word! (the correct French name is still ellipse de chute, literally fall ellipse). Allmybest, Zelimir At 04:48 15/01/2010, Chris Peterson wrote: This is English you're talking about.
