Re: [meteorite-list] What sex is your meteorite
Shawn, I just checked, all my meteorites are hermaphrodites. So when I talk ABOUT them I use the word 'it'. But in case I would want to talk TO them I wouldn't know which title to use. Is it Mr., Mrs., Ms. I have no idea. But that's not all. Which language do I use for my NWAs? Your question wasn't silly at all and it was probably one of the most important ever asked on this list.

My concern is the possibility of my developing a nickel allergy. AFAIK, I'm not allergic to the metal, but she certainly is. My preference would be to have my ring made of a solid billet of the Iron used, but of course one that has in inlay of the Iron might be a better choice to limit exposure.

[meteorite-list] - UNCO Martian Dunite
Hello List - Here is the response that I was given from the President of UNCO Meteorites when I pressed him for answers to all the basics regarding his Martian meteorite. He should go into American politics. Warren Sansoucie Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2010 22:22:28 -0600 Subject: Re: warren3174 has sent a question about item #120553654157, ending on Apr-13-10 14:22:07 PDT - UNCO Martian Dunite From: cwhei...@gmail.com To: warren3...@hotmail.com Good Evening Warren; Thank you for your inquiry. It's somewhat of a relief to receive your respectful courteous questions. I thank you for your sincere curiosity and due diligence. Smaller, identical pairings of this larger Martian meteorite have, indeed, been sliced, polished and examined to reveal all of the impact shock metamorphisms required of a Martian meteorite. These metamorphisms include terrestrially weathered fusion crust (still visibly evident), and regmaglyph thumb prints. Closer, microscopic inspections reveal metals of chromite, iridium and titanium. The major metal is chromite suspended in neosilicates of olivine, with iridium titanium blebs throughout the cut polished face. Most importantly, the olivine neosilicate has been shocked melted to a blueish-black to nearly extinct, along with pyroxenes and glass-filled impact fissures. Feldspars of augite have been shock melted as well, to what is referred to as diaplectic glass, or maskenylite. This specimen, along with several other distinct specimens, were analysed by Actlabs of Ontario, Canada. The results were positive for both extraterrestrial and planetary origins. The high SiO2 content of up to 85%, along with high CaO and low MgO Fe2O3 levels, indicate water as a major morphism influence. The Martian atmosphere, examined by Viking, would give credence to what our lab results have, so far, confirmed. Further analysis' are now being performed at ASU UNM to further confirm these preliminary findings. We do expect the classification process within a few weeks. But as you know, these universities research labs can take some time to complete their analysis'. This Martian meteorite is just one of many pristine specimens located, collected analysed from the Uncompahgre Strewn Field in Western Colorado. This field, which has experienced several meteoritic impact events over the last several thousand years, also includes Lunar meteorites, as well as asteroidal Ordinary Primitive Chondrites. This is an impressive area for such events. The extent of finds increases on a daily basis. This field was discovered identified by Yours Truly. I am a well-studied amateur meteoritst, yet I assure you that I have followed the science of Richard Norton, Lawrence Chitwood, Harvey Nininger and numerous other credible reliable sources to qualify accredit this site as one of the most important discoveries in a century, or more. Furthermore, I have just recently recovered the third Lunar meteorite strewn field in North America. This discovery was a result of a witnessed bolide by two individuals. This fireball, ended up to be a large (daytime) event and culminated in the collection of several thousand fragments whole stones of definite Lunar origin. These new, black fusion-crusted stones are not magnetic and are definitely Lunar! I will defy any lunar geochemist to refute this find, along with the Unco finds!

Richard wrote: Beautiful Laurence! Jeff K. wrote: WOW!!! http://www.rocksfromspace.org/April_12_2010.html Hello Laurence, Richard, Jeff and List, This is an exceptionally beautiful polysomatic barred olivine chondrule! The unusual pentagonal arrangement of the olivine bars may be the result of a euhedral olivine crystal at the center of these 5 sets of parallel olivine bars. The contours of the (almost) euhedral crystal are still readily recognizable. The crystal itself is either in optical extinction in this photo or it is no longer there. Instead of growing inward from the once molten droplet (which would have resulted in a normal barred olivine chondrule), the bars probably grew along the sides of the (almost) euhedral crystal at its center. *If* I am right with these suppositions, the subhedral crystal at the center had already solidified when the pentagonal bars started growing and thus served as a nucleus along whose sides the bars grew the way we see them in the pic. The different interference colors of the pentagonal bars are due to the fact that they are oriented at different angles to each other. An almost identical polysomatic BO chondrule can be admired on p. 114 of our late Richard Norton's Encyclopedia of Meteorites!

Re: [meteorite-list] Be careful of your feedback on Ebay
Hello Orrin / List, I've heard of this last year. I personally think Ebay should be contacted regarding the situation to determine if they are obligated to assist the man that left the negative feedback. Ethically, with all the money Ebay makes off of us, they should defend a buyer that did what they asked him to do. Imagine the lawsuit from a $17,000,000 purchase of a meteor-wrong. :) (yes, with blood in it too).

While it's unfortunate to see this type of litigation, I'll bet the buyer could have avoided the suit if he had simply stated the facts and not made a judgement about the ethics of the seller. I have rarely left negative or neutral feedback, but when I have it was simply a statement of fact, (e.g. two months to deliver item, wrong item, no response to email etc.).

Re: [meteorite-list] message from Vincent Jacques
Hello list - Vincent, I have several pieces that ,once cut ,look very similar to yours. Interesting that it was confirmed to be a meteorite. All of mine that look like that reside in my wrong jar along with all the other hematite and magnetite pieces sold to me as meteorites. I can't really contribute to your search for more information, but I would be interested in what you do find out. If anyone ever wants to look at any of my 'culls' for the off chance there is something to be discovered, let me know and I will get them to you. If any list member finds that we have something of interest or value, they can keep the portion I send them. Otherwise, the pieces may remain in the jar with the picture of Happy Madison proclaiming , The price is wrong, Bob!. I understand the problem with lab time and the good folks working there not having the time to investigate a possible weathered and rusty find. I'm sure you could convince a scientist to work it in... if you offered to build a new wing for the university.

Re: [meteorite-list] message from Vincent Jacques
Hello Zelimir, and all, Almahata Sitta is really a conglomerate of many different types of meteorites. So far at least half a dozen totally different ones have been found there, some ureilites fragments but also some EL, EH and even H. It would help if Vincent would contact Prof. Bischoff in Muenster since he is the one doing the classification. Or he could also ask Siegfried Haberer. And if anyone is interested I do have the latest report on Almahata Sitta. (PDF file, 29 pages) Anne M. Black http://www.impactika.com/ impact...@aol.com Vice-President, I.M.C.A.

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update: March 31 - April 7, 2010
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Remains Silent - sols 2219-2226, March 31 - April 07, 2010: Spirit remains silent at her location called Troy on the west side of Home Plate. No communication has been received from the rover since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). It is likely that Spirit has experienced a low-power fault and has turned off all sub-systems, including communication. The rover will use all available solar array energy to recharge her batteries. When the batteries recover to a sufficient state of charge, Spirit will wake up and begin to communicate. It is not known when that will happen, so the project has been listening for any X-band signal from Spirit through the Deep Space Network (DSN) every day. The Mars Odyssey orbiter is also listening over selected Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) relay passes for any signal from Spirit. It may be weeks to months before Spirit communicates. Total odometry is unchanged at 7,730.50 meters (4.80 miles). OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Sharp Turns Make Driving Difficult - sols 2200-2204, April 2-6, 2010: Opportunity had a couple of difficult moves this week. After taking some time to recharge her batteries, the rover attempted a drive on Sol 2202 (April 4, 2010). That drive stopped after the initial arc turn due to elevated current draw in the motors on the right side of the rover. The rover is between two ripples with the space in between forming a bowl. The rover had to push harder on the right to make the sharp turn. Conservatively-set current limits stopped the drive, as a way for controllers on the ground to assess the driving conditions before proceeding. With everything looking okay, another drive on Sol 2204 (April 6, 2010), was commanded. It too began with a short, sharp arc. This time the drive stopped after a short distance because of wheel slip exceeding the limit of 40 percent. Again ground controllers assessed the conditions and found no problems. With these sharp turns, the rover's wheels must impart more thrust. When the wheel thrust exceeds the shear strength of the terrain, slip occurs. Opportunity will drive again on Sol 2206 (April 8, 2010). This time the rover is already aligned with the drive direction, so no sharp turns are needed. Extra slip checks will be performed to make sure there are no terrain issues. As of Sol 2204 (April 6, 2010), the solar array energy production was 235 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (tau) of 0.371 (from Sol 2199) and a dust factor of 0.500. Total odometry is 20,247.56 meters (20.25 kilometers, or 12.58 miles). __ 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

I have even caught myself referring to some of the meteorites I own as a male of female.

Re: [meteorite-list] off topic NFL pregame Flyover
OH-WOW! Being in south-west Ohio, I had supplers give me free tickets to Indy-500 plus , pit-passes! I remember once, when 2 stealth fighters, and one bomber went over! You talk about a sonic boomNo warning at all! Another time, I was in the pit, In front of Sarah Fisher's garage,(Her 1st year raceing) I was video tapeing when the Secatary of defense under Pres. Clinton, came walking down the alley (+ alot of secret service men) And after they left, 2 Hairrer jets, flew over the the stadium, stoped in mid air, And just roared for like, 5 minutes!!
