[meteorite-list] Need free Lunar micro - Update
Hello, You might recall that I put up a call for lunar micros for a young boy (his name is Justin Labonte - a member questioned his identity and I answered rather curtly which I do regret) who has some problems in life. Some generous members here were kind enough to donate some material for a good cause. Just to let all know that I am preparing the micros and one small meteorite for what will be, I hope, an unforgettable collection for Justin. I will meet Justin, his mother and Mrs. Rossignol (the lady who contacted me) next Thursday. The mother has a friend who is a reporter for a French daily newspaper and others might be on hand as well (much to my surprise). Should any of this make it to news websites, I'll be sure to pass on the addresses to this list.

Re: [meteorite-list] Collecting on Public Lands
Regarding the discussions regarding the collecting of meteorites on public lands... the BLM publishes brochures encouraging visitors to pack out debris and routinely sponsors volunteer days where folks get together to remove debris and exotic/invasive species. I could contend that all meteorites are debris from space, and even more specifically; they are exotic species of minerals. It might be our civic duty to remove them from public lands.

Why did alien civilizations conquer intergalactic travel to arrive here, blend in with all of us only to hate probe our rectums for the last 60 years? Gimmie a break man.

[meteorite-list] New evidence for microbial fossils in Martian meteorite
Hello Listers, I did some looking around about evidence of microbial fossils in Martian meteorites and I found a few articles about magnetite and how science are researching how magnetite can be formed biologically or inorganically on Earth, resulting in magnetite crystals. This evidences has been a leading factor in the debate about ALH84001 and if life did exist on Mars. Here are a couple abstracts I pulled off the Internet down below.. Shawn Alan eBayshop http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&MyEbay=&gbh=1&guest=1 Origins of magnetite nanocrystals in Martian meteorite ALH84001 K.L. Thomas-Keprtaa, , , S.J. Clemetta, , , D.S. McKayb, E.K. Gibsonb and S.J. Wentwortha aESCG at NASA/Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX 77058, USA bKR, ARES, NASA/Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX 77058, USA Received 20 July 2008; accepted 18 May 2009. Associate editor: Christian Koeberl. Available online 16 June 2009. Abstract The Martian meteorite ALH84001 preserves evidence of interaction with aqueous fluids while on Mars in the form of microscopic carbonate disks. These carbonate disks are believed to have precipitated 3.9 Ga ago at beginning of the Noachian epoch on Mars during which both the oldest extant Martian surfaces were formed, and perhaps the earliest global oceans. Intimately associated within and throughout these carbonate disks are nanocrystal magnetites (Fe3O4) with unusual chemical and physical properties, whose origins have become the source of considerable debate. One group of hypotheses argues that these magnetites are the product of partial thermal decomposition of the host carbonate. Alternatively, the origins of magnetite and carbonate may be unrelated; that is, from the perspective of the carbonate the magnetite is allochthonous. For example, the magnetites might have already been present in the aqueous fluids from which the carbonates were believed to have been deposited. We have sought to resolve between these hypotheses through the detailed characterization of the compositional and structural relationships of the carbonate disks and associated magnetites with the orthopyroxene matrix in which they are embedded. Extensive use of focused ion beam milling techniques has been utilized for sample preparation. We then compared our observations with those from experimental thermal decomposition studies of sideritic carbonates under a range of plausible geological heating scenarios. We conclude that the vast majority of the nanocrystal magnetites present in the carbonate disks could not have formed by any of the currently proposed thermal decomposition scenarios. Instead, we find there is considerable evidence in support of an alternative allochthonous origin for the magnetite unrelated to any shock or thermal processing of the carbonates. Title:Magnetite as a prokaryotic biomarker: A review Authors:Jimenez-Lopez, Concepcion; Romanek, Christopher S.; Bazylinski, Dennis A. Publication:Journal of Geophysical Research, Volume 115, Issue 37, CiteID G00G03 Publication Date:04/2010 Origin:AGU Abstract Over the years, nanometer-sized magnetite (Fe3O4) crystals have been recovered from many modern and ancient environments including sediments and soils and even meteorites. In some cases these crystals have been used as “magnetofossils” for evidence of the past presence of specific microbes. Magnetite nanocrystals can be formed by a number of different biological and inorganic mechanisms resulting in crystals with different physical and magnetic characteristics. Prokaryotes (bacteria) biomineralize magnetite through two methods that differ mechanistically, including: biologically induced mineralization (BIM) and biologically controlled mineralization (BCM). Magnetite nanocrystals produced by BIM are known to be synthesized by the dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, are deposited external to the cell, and generally are physically indistinguishable from magnetite particles formed inorganically. BCM magnetites, in contrast, are synthesized by the magnetotactic bacteria and some higher organisms and are precipitated intracellularly as membrane-bounded structures called magnetosomes. These magnetites appear to have unique crystal morphologies and a narrow size range leading to their original use as magnetofossils. Because of the discovery of nanometer-sized crystals of magnetite in the Martian meteorite ALH84001, the use of these criteria for the determination of whether magnetite crystals could constitute a prokaryotic biomarker was questioned. Thus, there is currently great debate over what criteria to use in the determination of whether specific magnetite crystals are biogenic or not. In the last decade, additional criteria have been established (e.g., the Magnetite Assay for Biogenicity), and new tools and technologies have been developed to determine the origin of specific types of magnetite crystals.

Re: [meteorite-list] New position on hunting BLM lands
Hi Yinan, Thanks for refreshing my memory on the mining claim that the prospectors filed on the land. I was in high school and remember reading that they were not allowed to take the Old Woman meteorite as she sat in between the boulders on that rocky area because it was "not" a locatable mineral. That brings back memories and clarifies the reason that it went to the Smithsonian.

Re: [meteorite-list] New position on hunting BLM lands
hi folks, Just a follow up on the hunting on BLM and National and State, County, City Parks, etc. Beware of hunting on military areas also. I'm sure all of us have common sense to not be walking around on Military Property and hunting for rocks, Native American artifacts or meteorites. Remember Area 51 and gunmen on the ridge, etc. Twenty-Nine Palms Marine Corps Base, Edwards Air Force Base, Vandenberg Air Force Base and Chocolate Mountain Gunnery Range in California. Oh, and China Lake Naval Weapons Center also, but I can't tell you about that one since it involves Aliens and things I still don't remember, nor care to remember or relive. ;-) Nellis Air Force Base Bombing and Gunnery Range in Nevada and Test Site and you know where the others are in your states. It would be unwise to go into any type of restricted or military area to hunt for anything without receiving special permission and most preferably have it documented on paper for your own hassle free safety. Just some wise words to protect yourselves while out hunting in the deserts and wild open spaces.

Re: [meteorite-list] ETs (EXTREME TYPES) Already Here!
No doubt that Kirsh is right. But I am willing to bet that Kirsh would not know an alien if he shook hands with one! When humans see alien life they just say ho hum and keep going on about their day. They keep looking and get excited when some microbe shows up in a meteorite. But if they actually see a picture taken on mars they most likely and usualy call it just shadows. They want nothing to upset their apple cart. And these are people that call themselves educated.

Re: [meteorite-list] Large Fireball observed on 6MAY2010 in Argentina
This event was possibly observed from Cerro Pachon in Chile as well, though only as a bright flash (1-2 seconds) illuminating an overcast sky. It was reported as "lightning" by the Gemini Observatory night crew as they left, shortly after 5am local time (corresponding to 6am in Argentina). As far as I know there was no other "lightning" reported during the night, though last night was mostly closed-dome engineering at Gemini. Cerro Pachon lies approximately 300km WNW from the city of San Juan, Argentina. So far I've come up empty trying to locate images from any all-sky cameras at any of the observatories around here. The cameras are either not operational or the archives are inaccessible. The clouds would have wiped out any chance of a direct image from Pachon or Tololo, and probably also from La Silla or Las Campanas, which are ~100km to the north. It was reportedly photometric at Paranal, ~600km to the north of Pachon, but this may be too far away to have captured the event. Saludos, Eric J.

Re: [meteorite-list] ETs (EXTREME TYPES) Already Here!
Dirk and List, What strikes me as a layman after listening to Kirsh on extremophiles (thank you for the link, Dirk) is that she and her associates in the field of astrobiology, by their studies of the molecular processes in these life forms, are admitting to that life survives extreme environments. These scientists run all over the earth finding biomorphs in salt mines and lakes and the deep, all the while wishing they had samples from other planets and moons, yet they almost studiously avoid the examination of Martian and Lunar meteorites. Is this a condition of funding? Or a turf battle that prevents an exchange between the disciplines? I'm in the McKay camp up to my eyeballs.

Re: [meteorite-list] Large Fireball observed on 6MAY2010 in Argentina
Hi Actually the law refers to NEW finds and falls, so any meteorite find or found before December 2007 can be exported (with a few exceptions like Campo del Cielo as there is a provincial law that protect Chaco meteorites). About the new one, I was in contact with people from San Juan. It was seen aproaching earth with a Southeast direction near the "Sierra de Pie de Palo", but no sound was hear nearby. In case of a confirmed fall in this case, it will be a new fall and so no export will be alowed right now (although I'm still working to try to change this). best regards Eduardo -Original Message- From: impact...@aol.com To: countde...@earthlink.net, drtan...@yahoo.com, meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com, meteor...@meteorobs.org Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 15:39:25 EDT Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Large Fireball observed on 6MAY2010 in Argentina > Quick reminder: > > As of January 1, 2008, No meteorite, new fall, old fall, newly > found,...etc, may be exported from Argentina. > Just ask Eduardo for details. > > Anne M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Discussions About Meteorite Collecting on BLM Land
Thanks Paul, I will have to read it more carefully when I return from the field on Monday. Apparently, there is not much case law judging from the lack of meteorite references, only two in California. It looks like none of the two cases made it to supreme court and basically the finders just gave up when confronted or the judgment was reversed if I read the excel sheet in regards to Younger v. Meade correctly. In any case, any meteorite laws will serve to undermine searching or reporting scientifically valuable finds. My guess is that the first North American Lunar will be found on private property or in a long-forgotten rock collection regardless of where it was found, especially if it was found in Oregon or Washington state.

Re: [meteorite-list] Help with Kunya-Urgench
Thanks to all who have contributed in helping to rule out Kunya- Urgench. I definately agree that it is not that meteorite. Bernd suggested a NWA 806 and NWA 984. They were similar. Thank you Bernd. I had gone thru the Bulletin listings and the pics it posts and came up with thirteen that resemble it. But I had to stop at NWA 2707. As I said before, the dealer first said it was an NWA. He also said it was in the low numbers. I just talked to him on the phone again, and he is going thru all his labels now looking for any that do not have any meteorites with it to account for. (I know...I was rolling my eyes too). He says he feels pretty sure it's a number less than 1000. So the search continues. I've pretty much decided that it's futile. I only paid $15 dollars for it and I just weighed it and it is 17.0 grams. I didn't pay that much for it and it is an attractive matrix. That was what caught my eye about it in the first place. So I'm not going to try to return it. I just like it too much. So unless, by some miracle, the dealer actually finds the correct label, I will just label the sucker as an unclassified NWA, and use it as a learning experience. I'll still enjoy looking at it on my collection shelf. And it'll always be there to remind me... The best part of it all though was watching many of you go into action! Sleuth's abound!! So, though quite frustrating for me, and I'm sure for some of you too, be proud in the fact that the Met-List did one of the things it was meant to do: sharing helpful information with a neieve (sp?) newbie out.

[meteorite-list] Re: New evidence for microbial fossils in Martian meteorite
Hello List, Whatever your opinion is on this subject, I'm sure we can all agree on this one thing - and that one thing was well-stated by McKay himself and was quoted in the last paragraph of that recent article. Here it is: - Attached Text --- In a plenary session, in which Squyres solicited the group's views on how the field should move forward, McKay stood up to say that examining possible Martian microfossils should be a much higher priority. He said that the "biomorphs" now being found could answer some of the basic questions about life on Mars and that it could be done at a much lower cost than the multibillion-dollar alternative plan -- sending a rover to Mars to pick up some rock samples and bringing them back to Earth. "These meteorites are samples from Mars," he said, "and need to be treated as the valuable resource they are." --- These are my sentiments, as well. Bob V. --- Attached Message [meteorite-list] NASA Team Cites New Evidence That Meteorites From Mars Contain Ancient Fossils Ron Baalke baalke at zagami.jpl.nasa.gov Wed May 5 18:53:16 EDT 2010 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/30/AR2010043002000.html NASA team cites new evidence that meteorites from Mars contain ancient fossils By Marc Kaufman Washington Post May 4, 2010 LEAGUE CITY, TEX. -- NASA's Mars Meteorite Research Team reopened a 14-year-old controversy on extraterrestrial life last week, reaffirming and offering support for its widely challenged assertion that a 4-billion-year-old meteorite that landed thousands of years ago on Antarctica shows evidence of microscopic life on Mars. In addition to presenting research that they said disproved some of their critics, the scientists reported that additional Martian meteorites appear to house distinct and identifiable microbial fossils that point even more strongly to the existence of life. "We feel more confident than ever that Mars probably once was, and maybe still is, home to life," team leader David McKay said at a NASA-sponsored conference on astrobiology. The researchers' presentations were not met with any of the excited frenzy that greeted the original 1996 announcement about the meteorite -- which led to a televised statement by President Bill Clinton in which he announced a "space summit," the formation of a commission to examine its implications and the birth of a NASA-funded astrobiology program. Fourteen years of relentless criticism have turned many scientists against the McKay results, and the Mars meteorite "discovery" has remained an unresolved and somewhat awkward issue. This has continued even though the team's central finding -- that Mars once had living creatures -- has gained broad acceptance among the biologists, chemists, geologists, astronomers and other scientists who make up the astrobiology community. Speaking at a four-day conference near NASA's Johnson Space Center, McKay's team didn't claim it had definitive proof that the meteorites they are studying -- which can be identified as Martian because the gases inside them match the Martian atmosphere -- contain the remains of living organisms. Rather, the researchers described their re-energized confidence as emerging from a process of nitty-gritty science, based on inference, simulated testing and a kind of interplanetary forensics. McKay cited years of work by team members Kathie Thomas-Keprta and Simon Clemett that he said rebuts a central critique of the meteorite's significance. He also pointed to the presence of what appear to be fossilized microbes in other Martian meteorites, as well as the steady flow of discoveries by others pointing to a Mars that at one time could have supported life -- wet, warmer and enveloped in a potentially protective atmosphere and a magnetic field. Rebutting the critics The Thomas-Keprta work, published late last year in the journal Geochemica, centers on the origin of iron-based crystals called magnetites in the original Mars meteorite, called ALH84001. Magnetites on Earth are sometimes created by bacteria that respond to the planet's magnetic field; the McKay team argued that some of the Martian magnetites were of this biologically created type. Critics had said that the magnetites could have just as easily existed without bacteria or biology -- that they sometimes form as a result of the shock and searing heat that could come, for instance, from an asteroid strike. But in the recent paper, Thomas-Keprta, an expert in the use of electron beam technology to look inside rocks, reported that the purity of the magnetites made that explanation impossible. Reflecting both the contentiousness and drama of the debate, Thomas-Keprta finished her talk by referring to a recent article in a science journal that said the astrobiology community had "mostly abandoned" the biological explanations for the makeup of ALH8400

Re: [meteorite-list] New position on hunting BLM lands
I'm enjoying the information you fine collectors are putting on here as I learn something new everyday. I thought I'd toss my two cents in there as an f.y.i. An acquaintance who has a mining claim on BLM is not able to mine the claim now that the entire area in California has been practically sealed off and the local sheriffs and BLM personnel won't allow anyone onto it. There were first concerns of people dumping their old rehabbing projects from homes being rehabbed (Imagine that, someone dumping on BLM land) and the dangers of asbestos. Then, environmental groups, which I generally always support were questioning the safety of the water table and the native salamanders and various native plant species. The bottom line is that the BLM decided with all this going on that the easiest way was to close it down entirely, no more dumping of possible asbestos materials and no danger to the native flora and fauna. My guess is that similar situations will be occurring throughout the West, if they have not already been put into place or are in the works. Have a great day!

[meteorite-list] Dealing with the back contamination problem
Hi Rob - "Xeno biology" They call it astrobiology. "If life ever began on Mars, I believe that it will still be there. The climate cannot have changed quickly enough to extinguish microbial life and it should thrive there not just cling on to existence." Given the radiation environment, perhaps below the surface, near the frozen clathrates (water). If you think about it, perhaps such organisms would the remnant magnetic field to navigate, as you point out... "I accept that the magnetite found in "martian fossils" could be a local adaptation of martian bacteria to localised magnetic anomalies and that these could coincide with methane emissions discovered recently. "What I object to is the constant use of these principles (though I accept them, I do not believe them) to suggest that we cannot send a manned mission to Mars. "The very idea that a martian microbe could be pathogenic when it would be clearly adapted to a cold dry environment is absurd." No, not really. Adapted to a hostile environment, it could thrive in a more favorable one. No planetary protection officer is going to sign off until there is a firm answer. "I would bet my life on Mars being sterile." The consequences are too high for bets. We simply don't know, and long range rovers are the only way to clear this hurdle to manned exploration. "Even if I turned out to be wrong, I'd go double or quits on any Martian vector being unable to attack a Terran organism kept in an environment akin to it's home (eg humans at room temp and pressure)" It doesn't have to be us, but our environment. I covered this for years. The old Soviet plan for Marse Piat with the TNK in Martian orbit was to sterilize samples from the surface and then look for their remains. That's in the real world, not in Zubrin's rationalizations. Rob, I think we can both agree with Dr. McKay's comments on the need for study of martian meteorites and their scientific value.

Re: [meteorite-list] Help with Kunya-Urgench
Hi Henry and Gary, in my opinion this specimen is definitely no Kunya-Urgench. In principle Kunya-Urgench, if fresh, is of a light-grey to witish appearance. But Kunya seemed to have to be exposed to humidity on the place of fall, so that it has more or less very often hefty stainings from rust. Kunya was a large mass - the second largest stone meteorites in existence. Scattered around the impact pit were collected hundreds of small and smallest fragments and a few larger ones. Some of the hunters, who collected them, are here also on the list. The small fragmets, usually in the weight range form 1-10 grams, are almost all very oxidized, but nevertheless some show here and there still some fresh corners. The larger ones (like necessary for having such a cut like Henry has)are often somewhat better preserved. The clean ones are withish grey mottled with tiny brown and ochre rust spots, the somewhat more oxidized ones, have larger areas of rust. But all have still parts of the original fresh matrix preserved. Here some examples of various degrees of oxidation of Kunya. http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/met_kunyaurgench.html http://www.meteoritelabels.com/images/Kunya.jpg http://www.meteorite-martin.de/images/meteor/kunyaurgench.jpg Henry's specimen display a fully oxidized matrix, hence it is an old and weathered chondrite, which certainly doesn't belong to the fall of Kunya-Urgench. I'd recommend to return it to the seller. Best!
