[meteorite-list] AD: Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter Opens for DiscoveryDays

[Richard Kowalski]

Hey Tucson meteorite people!

This weekend will be the next Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter DiscoveryDays. This event 
will be similar but a little different than the LPL Open House we had back in 
May. It'll be a good chance to get up into the mountains for some fun science 
and to get away from the Summer heat in the valley. There is a nominal fee to 
help support the Science Center.

More information can be found at:

http://www.flandrau.org/2010/08/17/escape-the-heat-with-discoverydays/

I don't know if it will be an attraction for any of you, but I'll be at the 60" 
telescope showing how we discover Near Earth Asteroids. This is the telescope 
that discovered 2008 TC3/Almahata Sitta.

I think Greg beat me to it and means the Wig Wam Motel

http://www.galerie-kokopelli.com/wigwam/index.html

If you haven't stayed there, it is well worth at least one night, especially if 
you like roadside Americana and the romance of the Mother Road, Route 66.

A motel run by the original owner's children, it does fill up rather fast in 
season and has most rooms filled even in the middle of winter. Book early. Sara 
&I stay they when ever we are in the area and they can accommodate us

Peter, thanks for writing.  Both 5400 and 6292 deserve attention.  Please

What you are talking about is probably magnetic iron shale, which used to

[meteorite-list] Thank you Laurence Garvie

[cdtucson]

Laurence,
Just a quick note to let you and this wonderful meteorite community know that I 
received your package today. 
As busy as you are at ASU You went way out of your way to help me with these 
seven meteorite prospects.
I was expecting a few notes on paper telling me I had nothing.
Instead , what I got was a nicely detailed letter very well organized along 
with an actual print out of each PIXE 
screening. These reports spell out the mineralogy of each specimen including 
the Nickel content.
I was very happy to see that three of the seven did have enough nickel to 
warrant further review.
And the fact that you did all of this work in such a short period of time adds 
to the excitement. 
Laurence you went well above the call on this. I appreciate this more than you 
know.. 
You are truly one of the great scientists in this field.. Thank you again.

This seems like a good time to recognize a few other scientists  that have also 
gone out of their way in the past to personally help me. 
Jeff Grossman, Tony Irving, Ted Bunch, Alan Rubin , Randy Korotev, Marc Fries, 
Rhian Jones, Jim Karner, Dolores Hill, David Kring,
Carlton Moore, John Wasson, Tim McCoy, Pierre Rochette. G. Jeffrey Taylor, 
David Mittlefehldt Robert Matson and Elton Jones. And too many others to 
mention that have helped me indirectly. And far too many Non-scientists to 
mention as well. So, thank you to everybody. 
So as you can see to be great you don't have to be a collector, dealer or 
hunter. Scientists are alright as well. Thanks again to all of you. 
 Carl.

[meteorite-list] AD : The oldest rock on Earth, new specimens

[Fabien Kuntz]

Hello, 

because absolutely all the specimens offered yesterday quickly found new homes, 
I have updated the webpage, minutes ago... You will see this time the second 
lithology of the 4.28Ga "faux-amphibolite" : The cummingtonite-rich.

As a paragneiss (metamorphosed volcanic sedimentary rock, with a layered 
structure), the "faux-amphibolite" shows mineralogical heterogeneity, as 
describe in the original thesis. The garnet-rich lithology can have some amount 
of cummingtonite (beige band into the green matrix contains the garnet), but 
the 
cummingtonite-rich lithology is totaly garnet free as you will see... But this 
is the same rock, and the same age...

Hi Jesse,
 
Welcome to the List! I'm a newbie, too. The Campo was my first meteorite as 
well. Canyon Diablo oxides just means they've rusted and either collected from 
falling off of larger pieces or are just found that way. A lot of hard to find 
iron meteorites are going to be oxides although CDs are relatively common. Have 
a great journey to the stars and may your paypal account never be empty!:D

[meteorite-list] Vulcanoid Search Continues as MESSENGER Reaches Orbital Perihelion

[Ron Baalke]

http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=151

MESSENGER Mission News
August 17, 2010

Vulcanoid Search Continues as MESSENGER Reaches Orbital Perihelion

Today MESSENGER will pass within 0.308 astronomical units (AU) of the
Sun (one AU is Earth's distance from the Sun, approximately 150 million
kilometers or 93 million miles), providing MESSENGER scientists with
another opportunity to search for vulcanoids. Named after the
hypothetical planet Vulcan, whose existence was disproven in 1915,
vulcanoids are asteroids that orbit the Sun inside the orbit of the
planet Mercury.

No vulcanoids have yet been discovered, and it is not known if any
exist. But should they be found, these small, rocky asteroids may yield
insights into the formation and early evolution of the solar system.
They might contain material left over from the earliest period of planet
formation and help determine the conditions under which the terrestrial
planets, particularly Mercury, formed. Vulcanoids would also represent
an additional population of impactors that contributed to the cratering
history of Mercury much more than that of any other body. Impacts by
vulcanoids would make the planet's surface appear older, relative to the
surfaces of the Moon and other inner planets, than it actually is.

If they do exist, the vulcanoids would be difficult to spot. First, they
would be very small - less than 60 kilometers (37 miles) in diameter (a
limit set by Earth-based observations) - and their reflected light would
generally be drowned out by the bright glare of the nearby Sun. Because
of their proximity to the Sun, searches for vulcanoids from the ground
can be carried out only during twilight or or dawn or during solar
eclipses.

The mission's imaging team is taking advantage of the probe's proximity
to the region of space inside Mercury's orbit during this perihelion to
continue their search for vulcanoids. The latest search started on
August 14 and continues through today.

"Our searches for vulcanoids may not turn up any objects," says
MESSENGER principal investigator Sean Solomon, of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, "but a discovery of even one vulcanoid would
change our thinking about the evolution of Mercury. The solar system
still has many surprises in store for us, so it makes sense for us to be
ready for the unexpected."



Earth and Moon from 114 Million Miles

This image

was acquired on May 6, 2010, as part of MESSENGER's campaign to search
for vulcanoids. In the lower left portion, the Earth can be seen, as
well as the much smaller Moon to Earth's right. When MESSENGER took this
image, a distance of 183 million kilometers (114 million miles)
separated the spacecraft and Earth. To provide context for this
distance, the average separation between the Earth and the Sun is about
150 million kilometers (93 million miles).



Engineer Helps MESSENGER Maintain Balance Between Staying Cool and
Staying Powered

Kim Ord worked on the International Space Station at the NASA Johnson
Space Center in Houston, Texas, for ten years. When Houston's heat
became unbearable, she moved to Maryland to work on MESSENGER at the
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel. Ord
is the power and thermal mission operations analyst for MESSENGER's
mission operations team. To learn more about how she helps MESSENGER
preserve the delicate balance between maintaining safe temperatures and
generating sufficient power, read her profile here:
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/who_we_are/member_focus.html.



MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and
Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet
Mercury and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet closest
to the Sun. The MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004, and
after flybys of Earth, Venus, and Mercury will start a yearlong study of
its target planet in March 2011. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, leads the mission as Principal Investigator.
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory built and operates
the MESSENGER spacecraft and manages this Discovery-class mission for NASA.

[meteorite-list] NWA's 4590 & 4801 Angrites: AD-2-more

[Greg Hupe]

Hello List and Angrite Lovers!

Looks like there are several folks interested in angrites so instead of 
answering each individually, I would like to request a chance to post a 
second AD today encompassing all of my available angrites. I appreciate your 
tolerance in my posting two Ads today, or basically it would be just two Ads 
for heat of the summer since I have been away from the keyboard for a couple 
months!


Here is a list of the remaining specimens of both NWA 4590 and NWA 4801 
Angrites, both are extremely fresh and have VERY Low TKW's, pricing upon 
request Off-List:

Hi Peter,
While I do not have an Angras, I do have a small amount of these two
extremely fresh and beautiful unpaired angrites:

NWA 4801

NWA 4590 "Tamassint"

It is featured in the November 2008 issue of "Astronomy" Magazine, along
with angrites, NWA 2999 and NWA 4801.

Hi Chris and List,

I heard from Walt a couple of months ago and bought a specimen of DaG
476 from him.  He seemed in good spirits then.  Do you have his email
address?  If not, contact me offlist and I will give it you.

Best regards,

for

[September 22, 2009]:
About a week ago I announced NWA 4931, the angrite that was flown to MIT
in
2007 where a core sample was taken for magnetism analysis. I was able to
get
large slices cut from the largest mass after the coring was completed. 
It

was cut and polished by one of the best professionals out there! I would
like to offer what I have available at discounted prices. Here is the
list
with photo links (measurements are in millimeters). The description of
NWA
4931 is below the list in this email.

Hi Greg #1, Greg #2, subsequent lurking Gregs, and Listees,

I love a good price war!  :)

Do I hear a bid of $50 per gram?  How about $20 per gram? ;)

Best regards,

Dear List Members,

ran
September 22, 2009 where I offered NWA 4931, the Main Mass of the now 
famous
NWA 2999 Angrite pairings where I offered specimens at just $75.00/g. I 
have
only nine specimens left so if you want the "Original Good Deal", send me

for

your consideration:

[September 22, 2009]:
About a week ago I announced NWA 4931, the angrite that was flown to MIT 
in
2007 where a core sample was taken for magnetism analysis. I was able to 
get

large slices cut from the largest mass after the coring was completed. It
was cut and polished by one of the best professionals out there! I would
like to offer what I have available at discounted prices. Here is the 
list
with photo links (measurements are in millimeters). The description of 
NWA

4931 is below the list in this email.

further discounts on the large fragment and end cut. If you are 
interested

in any of these specimens, please email me Off-List. Thank you for
considering these beautiful angrite specimens!

Here is my description of NWA 4931 with photo links of the coring and
overall meteorite:

NWA 4931, the Main Mass to the now famous angrite, NWA 2999. NWA 4931 has 
a
Total Known Weight (TKW) of 2140 grams in two interlocking fragments, 
which
form a complete stone. Surprisingly, the two parts were recovered by 
nomads

months apart in the Sahara Desert in 2007. The first 1314-gram half was
flown to Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston where scientists
extracted a core sample in order to conduct magnetism tests, which they
hoped would provide vital evidence indicating the size of the Angrite 
Parent

Body (APB).

An international consortium of scientists, led by Dr. Benjamin Weiss of 
MIT,
took a new approach to the problem by testing samples from several 
angrites

with an extremely sensitive magnetometer. They discovered the material
showed evidence of ancient magnetic fields similar to those of rocks 
formed

on Earth within the planet's magnetic field. In other words, as the team
reported in the October 31, 2008 issue of Science, these 4.56
billion-year-old meteorites once were part of bodies that were either big
enough or hot enough to produce central, molten, metallic cores.

Link to LPSC abstract on magnetic field on Angrite Parent Body:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2008/pdf/2143.pdf

"The meteorites, therefore, are essentially magnetic recording tapes," 
says

Weiss. The magnetic fields that they recorded were probably generated by
molten metal swirling around inside the planet's core like a giant, 
rotatin

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Mike,

No price war, just reiterating a discounted angrite special I announced a 
year ago. Also, I would like to see "GregH", GregC" GregS", etc. instead of 
"Greg #1", 2, etc. There sure is a lot of "Greg's" on the List nowadays and 
I think we are all #1. :-)

Greg

[meteorite-list] Hello Everyone ^^

[Brittany Ermel]

Hey Everyone I'm Jesse.

Just thought I would say hello and let you all know I'm new to the
list + Meteorites overall.

I got into Meteorites about a month ago and it has been non stop sence ^^.

It all started with me and fossils a long time go when I was a kid and
my father took me to a local gem show and I remember I saw a Meteorite
and i asked my Dad * Hey Dad what is that thing?* but he did not know
=P

Then I saw Steve and Geoff on TV and at first I thought it was pretty
cool and my Dad even got into watching the show. *Also Nice job Steve
and Geoff and nice finds!* and also at first it made this kinda spark
in me but I never looked into it all ect. until one day i was making
some gemstone necklaces and stoped into my local metal detector shop
to see if he had any gems and saw a beautiful Canyon Diablo * its now
sold and gone =[* But then thats when it hit me that this is something
I want to do for the rest of my life. So i got my first Campo Del
Cielo its a small 15.6g but it's still my first one ^^.

So i have been saving my money up and got a few more meteorites. so
within one month I got

Campo Del Ceilo - 15.6g
Gold Basin - 2.5g
Nantan - 4g
Canyon Diablo + some Oxide ones. *still can't seem to figure what
oxide meens tho?* total is 20.8g
Admire - 2g
Wolf Creek - 0.50g
And a Chergach with some really nice fusion crust one it. 3.7g

Now they are rather small and from what I hear they are called Micros?
But still such a small thing can make someone so happy ^^.

And also im thinking about joining the Meteoritical Society thanks to
Mike from Galactic-Stone.

Plans I guess for the future for me would be to go on a hunt and find
my first Meteorite, Buy and sell some Meteorites and make tons of new
friends ^^

Sadly I live in the Midwest and its not a to common place to find
Meteorites but then again I have seen some close falls on TV and
whatnot. So hopefully I can make it out to AZ for the next gem show
and get to meet most of the people on here.

Anyways that's enough about me and don't want to take up anymore time
than I have.

Thanks for reading.

PS.
My fiance Brit is letting me use her email so if it comes in as
Brittany Ermel I'm sorry xD

[meteorite-list] Large Angrite Slices - NWA 4931 - AD

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members,

GregC. wrote yesterday, "Will any of you match that price [$100.00/g] on 
your angrites?" My answer is "Yes, and I will beat it!" Here is an Ad I ran 
September 22, 2009 where I offered NWA 4931, the Main Mass of the now famous 
NWA 2999 Angrite pairings where I offered specimens at just $75.00/g. I have 
only nine specimens left so if you want the "Original Good Deal", send me an 
email off List. Here is my original emails below with the specimen list for 
your consideration:


[September 22, 2009]:
About a week ago I announced NWA 4931, the angrite that was flown to MIT in
2007 where a core sample was taken for magnetism analysis. I was able to get
large slices cut from the largest mass after the coring was completed. It
was cut and polished by one of the best professionals out there! I would
like to offer what I have available at discounted prices. Here is the list
with photo links (measurements are in millimeters). The description of NWA
4931 is below the list in this email.

***Last Nine Available specimens of angrite NWA 4931***

I have priced these at $75.00 per gram for the polished slices and can offer
further discounts on the large fragment and end cut. If you are interested
in any of these specimens, please email me Off-List. Thank you for
considering these beautiful angrite specimens!

Here is my description of NWA 4931 with photo links of the coring and
overall meteorite:

Start>>
NWA 4931, the Main Mass to the now famous angrite, NWA 2999. NWA 4931 has a
Total Known Weight (TKW) of 2140 grams in two interlocking fragments, which
form a complete stone. Surprisingly, the two parts were recovered by nomads
months apart in the Sahara Desert in 2007. The first 1314-gram half was
flown to Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston where scientists
extracted a core sample in order to conduct magnetism tests, which they
hoped would provide vital evidence indicating the size of the Angrite Parent
Body (APB).

An international consortium of scientists, led by Dr. Benjamin Weiss of MIT,
took a new approach to the problem by testing samples from several angrites
with an extremely sensitive magnetometer. They discovered the material
showed evidence of ancient magnetic fields similar to those of rocks formed
on Earth within the planet's magnetic field. In other words, as the team
reported in the October 31, 2008 issue of Science, these 4.56
billion-year-old meteorites once were part of bodies that were either big
enough or hot enough to produce central, molten, metallic cores.

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2008/pdf/2143.pdf

"The meteorites, therefore, are essentially magnetic recording tapes," says
Weiss. The magnetic fields that they recorded were probably generated by
molten metal swirling around inside the planet's core like a giant, rotating
dynamo, as happens on Earth. Angrites are among the oldest known pristine
basaltic meteorites ever found and have provided new clues about the
conditions that existed at the beginning of the solar system, solving a
longstanding mystery and overturning some accepted ideas about the way
planets form. They still contain magnetic records about the earliest stages
of planet formation and differentiation.
