Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
Mineral Point is the largest town East of Livingston and a big town for tourists to visit and stay in for surrounding tourist attractions. They used it basically in the article since most people in Wisconsin, nor in Illinois, nor Iowa have any idea where Livingston is since it only has 697 people or so and certainly no one in the rest of the US or outside the US have ever heard of Livingston, Wisconsin. I have friends that I visited in Iowa county, the county where Mineral Pt. is, for 15 years and never heard of it, but have been through Mineral Point. I could tell you were Alice Springs is at in Australia and Mt. Fuji is in Japan and where the Seychelles and The Maldives are, but no idea where Livingston is if I hadn't heard of it since April 14th. Livingston and the surrounding area is a spot on the road if you ask the guys that are out there. They go up to Dodgeville to get gas even. The article used it as a reference point since that entire Southwest corner of Wisconsin is mostly farmland, grazing and some woods. The specimen the man is holding looks exactly like all the other specimens that have been found this past week, about 2 dozen, roughly. Madison WI is the largest town in the area where the University of Wisconsin is, the largest university in the area. Racine, Wisconsin is a smaller city along Lake Michigan just south of Milwaukee. It could be worth a couple of thousand USDs depending on how much is found and the demand for this meteorite. __ 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
Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
Dirk is correct in his post. If you recall an article by a writer on Sunday, I believe from the Madison Wisconsin paper, where she states and quotes a professor and scientist at the U of Wisconsin at Madison who was accepting specimens and telling farmers to not trust the meteorite collectors because they would buy them and sell them at a higher price. This of course is apparently biased on the part of the U of W, probably where the girl went to school. I personally don't trust a lot of people up there. People are friendly in Wisconsin, but they are friendly everywhere, depending on their nature and you have to take each with a grain of salt so to speak. __ 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

The stone pictured does indeed look like a meteorite from this fall. Just west of Mineral Point is a perfectly believable meteorite landing point, particularly if just west of means a couple miles. I don't think people appreciate how long this strewn field will eventually turn out to be. The entry angle on the meteoroid was less than 10 degrees from horizontal, and for even a single fragmentation event at an altitude of 28 km, my model spreads meteorites in the 3-gram to 10-kilo mass range over 20 miles. Since there were additional fragmentations below 28 km, the strewn field is likely to be longer still. --Rob -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Richard Kowalski Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 7:24 AM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin I guess I don't see why you're calling it nutbag or lunacy.

Re: [meteorite-list] Remarkable Photos of Natural Shock Waves
Thanks for the post, Jeff. Hi Graham and Listees. Graham has said that probably not the first...see here.. I have seen this extraordinary photo before and I considered that an overpressure might have caused the effect depicted, as did the scientists reporting that phenomenon as one of the three possibilities, but I dismissed it because the chances of a perfect circle wave of equal overpressure dissipating a cloud formation at the height depicted is unlikely as the shock waves repeatedly generated at the Icelandic event don't appear to disturb any of the condensate, or gasses, present and that observations of the shockwaves generated by the detonation of chemical and nuclear explosives show that rather than dissipate condensation...they create it...big time.

Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
Good Morning All! True, Livingston is a little known town in Wisconsin, but is very rich in history. The town was founded by F.Hugh Livingston, my wife's Great Great Grandfather. His linage includes Sam Livingston, founder of Calgary, Canada and Dr. David Livingston, explorer of Africa. If you are a Livingston or a Watson, I have the family tree back to John Livingston, born 1754. So, needless to say, my wife and I would love to see the new fall named Livingston. If would be easier for me to justify buying a sample too. :-) Good Luck All..

[meteorite-list] More backstory on the schoolyard find
Mike asked me to post this. If the link below does not work, it is the same one I posted in my earlier message -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 After Terry Boudreaux and I gave a two hour presentation to more than 500 kids at the Grant-Iowa County school yesterday, we asked all the kids who was going to hunt for meteorites during recess. Of course all the children screamed and raised their hands. Minutes later, while news crews were shooting footage and doing interviews with us in the schoolyard, a 6 year old boy screamed he found a meteorite, which was a beautiful and perfect 100% crusted ~40 gram stone. The school went crazy and another stone was found by a young girl a little while later. It was amazing to speak to the school, and every child there saw or heard the meteorite go overhead. I think that all these kids will be searching for meteorites now. The 8th-grade science teacher at the school told me he dropped his teaching plans for the next week and has moved his classes into researching meteorites on the net and doing reports on meteorites and meteorite falls. He was so happy at all of this and said that the children are so excited to come to class since the fall last week and did not want to talk about anything but the meteorite anyway so he went with it. I was mobbed by kids wanting to talk about my trips to Africa and how to find meteorites, so I think a few old falls may turn up on the farms from all this. To bridge the gap between meteorite dealers and scientific institutions, I presented one of the stones I found as a gift to the Field Museum for the meteorite collection. The Mifflin meteorite was great, but pressing projects have forced me to leave the strewnfield and go home today, leaving the country again tomorrow. Thanks most to Terry for getting this fall so much media attention, and to Michael Johnson for tirelessly precessing raw photos direct from the field and posting them, the list can now see meteorites moments after they are found.

This is an excellent article that was written in the Wisconsin paper that honestly make me very happy and puts Meteorite Collectors in a very positive and bright light. This writer got to the heart of the story by writing about the children and their families and their farms and how Michael Farmer and Terry Boudreaux went to the local combined school for Grant-Iowa counties on the border of the two counties and spoke at the Iowa/Grant Elementary-Middle School and gave a talk and discussion and interaction with the children on the new Wisconsin meteorite fall. Congratulations to our Meteorite Hunting friends and the school and farmers and the cook and his wife where one of the first meteorites were found on their farm. I salute you all for great work in the field and your humanitarian work. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/environment/article_13248f4e-4d85-11df-8940-001cc4c002e0.html __ 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 just got off the phone with Mike. He's only in town a short time and then is off on another adventure, but you could tell by sound of his voice that he was really jazzed to speak with the kids and then to have them finding meteorites right there in the school yard! He said it was one of the most exciting things that has happened to him in all the years hes been hunting meteorites. He also told me that several more stones have been found by well known hunters in the past day or so, so I expect we'll be hearing more about these ongoing successful hunts soon. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 __ 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

As I said, the science teacher was also overwhealmed with emotion that this was happening to his students. What happened there was a piece of history, and this meteorite fall is so different from Ash Creek, where the locals were very uninviting, Wisconsin is almost 100 % success rate for permission to hunt, and eveyone is so interested in the meteorite.

[meteorite-list] Wold Cottage 'meteorite homecoming'
Hi all, Just thought i would give the list a heads up on a recent event that happened over here in the UK concerning the Wold Cottage meteorite. The owners of the historic Wold Cottage are now proudly able to display a piece of the famous meteorite itself after many years of searching with no success. This story has taken quite a few months to unfold and started last summer when myself and my family stayed at the Wold Cottage currently owned by Derek and Katrina Gray. Although they have lots of historic photos and memorabilia i was astounded to discover that they didn't have a piece of the stone itself. I thought this was very sad indeed and said i would keep a look out for them and after a few months found a piece being offered for trade by Dave Gheesling. I approached Dave with Derek and Katrina's story and Dave was not only willing to part with the specimen but he offered to donate it to them for free! Now, i know that Dave is a very modest chap and doesnt want to make a song and dance about this but i think that the story needs sharing (Larry, i am writing the article at the moment!!) I am sure that everyone will agree that it was a very generous gesture with the end result being that a piece of this important and historic fall is now being displayed in its proper home! As i played the part of the middle man in all of this i thought that the least i could do was to arrange to get the specimen properly framed and present the framing to Derek and Katrina on Daves behalf. I did this last Friday and Derek and Katrina are absoutely delighted and over the moon to finally have a piece back home! The story has atrracted quite a bit of press attention and i was thrust into quite a media circus when i attended last week (all good fun though and i quite enjoyed it all to be honest!) I was interviewed for BBC Radio and TV and am pleased that the story has generated postive press for meteorite collectors. See Daves website for more info and some additional links to articles online: (http://www.fallingrocks.com/Collections/WoldCottage.htm) Also the British and Irish Meteorite society (BIMS) has a short write up in the news section: (http://www.bimsociety.org) Cheers Martin __ 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

Dear Abdelfattah, this is a really sad and the more shocking news, as we met Mbarek just a few weeks ago and found him in his always jocund and friendly mood. We and we think we can speak also for all the countless collectors, researchers and curators keeping knowingly or unknowingly specimens in their collections from the stones, which had passed through his hands, are grateful to his contribution and will honour his memory.

[meteorite-list] Wold Cottage 'meteorite homecoming'
Hello Martin G., Linton, and List, What a great story, Martin. A truly great story! Kudos to Dave for his extraordinary generosity and to you for your noble effort. I agree 100% ! I was not familiar with Wold Cottage, but is on my acquisition list now. Wold Cottage is hard to get :-( Best wishes from the proud owner of a tiny 0.068-gram fragment. It is a very special piece because it was a gift from Jake Delgaudio back in December 2000. The list gurus will surely remember Jake! Linton and List, here is some background info on Wold Cottage from U.B. Marvin: MARVIN U.B. (1996) Chladni and the origins of modern meteorite research (MAPS 31-5, 1996, 545-588): Wold Cottage, England, December 1795, pp. 560-561: At 3:30 on Sunday afternoon 1795 December 13, a 56 pound stone fell at Wold Cottage in Yorkshire. The sky was overcast. Suddenly, several persons in the area were startled by something whizzing through the air followed by a series of explosions. A laborer looked up just in time to see a black stone emerge from the clouds and plunge into the soil about 30 feet from where he stood. The ground shook and mud and sod flew up all around him. Rushing to the spot he found a large stone, warm and smoking and smelling of sulfur. It had penetrated twelve inches of soil and six inches of the underlying limestone. When Captain Edward Topham (1751-1820), the landowner and a flamboyant pamphleteer, editor, and playwright, returned from a visit to London, he obtained sworn statements from the three eyewitnesses and interviewed numerous persons who had heard sounds and felt concussions. Topham arranged to exhibit the stone in Piccadilly, London, across the street from the much-frequented Gloucester Coffee House (Pillinger and Pillinger, 1996). He prepared a handbill with an engraving of the stone and a description of the fall to be given to those who paid the entrance fee of one shilling. There, Sir Joseph Banks saw the stone and acquired a sample, possibly from Captain Topham himself. In 1797, Topham published the text of his handbill and the engraving of the stone (Fig. 12) in Gentlemen's Magazine (Topham, 1797). Two years later, he erected a brick monument over the site of fall and planted trees around it. Today, with the trees long gone, the weathered inscription still tells us that on this spot, on December 13, 1795, there fell from the atmosphere an extraordinary stone; 28 inches broad, 30 inches long, and weighing 56 pounds; the column in memory of it was erected by Edward Topham, 1799. __ 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
Re: [meteorite-list] Wold Cottage 'meteorite homecoming'
Martin and Dave, This is a GREAT story. May be a bit overshadowed by the school kids in Wisconsin but equally as great. You both deserve great recognition for this very fine act of kindness.
