Re: [meteorite-list] Witnessed fall lunars?
Hi, I asked this a while ago on Greg Catterton's forum, and I was told that rocks from the moon aren't as solid (tough) as Mars rocks, and therefore are less likely to survive entry... yet what about all these Howardites? --- -Melanie IMCA: 2975 eBay: metmel2775 Known on SkyRock Cafe as SpaceCollector09 I eat, sleep and breath meteorites 24/7. - Original Message From: Galactic Stone & Ironworks To: Meteorite List Sent: Mon, September 6, 2010 2:05:16 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Witnessed fall lunars? Hi List, Is there a theory for why there have been no witnessed falls of lunar meteorites? It seems odd to me that we have 4 Martian witnessed falls (Shergotty, Chassigny, Zagami, Nakhla, and almost Lafayette) and no lunars. I also find it odd that no lunaites have been recovered from the Americas or Europe. It would seem that we are long overdue for two things to happen - for a lunaite to be recovered in the Americas/Europe and for a lunar witnessed fall. I wonder which will happen first?

One hypothesied large fragment impact point in lower Michigan is shown. There should be another one not too far distant." There is one major problem with the Rainwater Basins, as they are called, being associated with a terminal Pleistocene impact. The oval basins that are exhibited by the modern land surface are palimpsest landforms created by a blanket of Middle, Late, and Holocene loesses and paleosols draped evenly over the original Rainwater Basins, which are developed in fluvial sediments. These sediments are at least, Illinoian in age, Marine Isotope Stage 6, approximately 130,000 to 196,000 BP old as a Late Illinoian Sangamon Soil is developed in them. it would be interesting to know the stratigraphic relationship of the Late Illinoian Sangamon Soil to these original basins as it would further constrain their age. Direct studies of these basins from cores and gully walls, reveal that the original basins are buried by undisturbed loess, which consists of an intact sequence, from bottom to top, of Middle Wisconsin Gilman Canyon Formation, Late Wisconsin Peoria Loess, Brady Soil, Holocene Bignell Loess, and other interbedded and associated paleosols (Zanner and Kuzila 2001, Zanner et al. 2007). The fact that the original basins are blanketed by loess of the Gilman Canyon Formation clearly demonstrates that the original Rainwater Basins are greater than 30,000 to 40,000 years TL and C14 (Johnson et al. 2008; Wiley 2009). It is quite obvious that the Rainwater Basins are far too old to be associated with any hypothetical Younger Dryas event. The presence of an intact and undisturbed blanket of Late Wisconsin Peoria Loess, Middle Wisconsin loess of the Gilman Canyon Formation, and associated paleosols covering the original Rainwater Basins makes any association between the them and the Younger Dryas a complete and utter physical impossibility as extraterrestrial impacts cannot create craters tens of thousands of years before they happen.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ebays Buyer Protection is Guaranteed
We agree, Eric, on the point of adressing free flow of the market and unfettered flow of choice in the marketplace. I'm pointing out the vulnerabilities of all the stuff with which we all have a choice to participate. I'm wondering, about concerns for those of us with feedback positive records? I'm always looking at the feedback numbers. Private sector business works on the same principle. (Although, I'm looking at the potential monopoly-aspects you suggest. Maybe this is when we separate our meteritic passions from the always-looming and inevitable $$$ confusion that lurks around the corner.) One thing about my wordsthey are always concise. As to "what you're saying is..." that's one of those rhetorical methods used sometimes, but I'll always mention how inference isn't actual words. No worries. Let's aim. Our focus should be on honesty in the marketplace. I think this is what we are both pointing out. (BTW, yes, I think the citizens should always be aware of a government's attempt to prempt the private sector, and as such "fear" the degradation of the knowledgle-of-the-population-in-general to recognize it's self determination! But no, not a "fear" of the gov'ment, just a warning for us all to be on guard.)

Re: [meteorite-list] Ebays Buyer Protection is Guaranteed
eBay abandoned it's sellers long ago in favor of catering to buyers. It's part of the reason I left eBay and set up my own ecommerce website. And I have never looked back - my sales are better through my own website and I only pay $9.95 a month, regardless of how much I sell. If I sell a million dollars worth of merchandise, my fee is still only $9.95. Sure, eBay has more traffic and visitors than any other marketplace, but that does not always translate into sales. And in my case, it didn't. The minute I left eBay, my sales quadrupled. But, I still buy on eBay and I keep a token listing or two going just to act as a "business card" in the listings - and that practice is going to end next month when I quit eBay entirely as a seller. If you are a buyer, eBay is great, because eBay will completely cater to you at the expense of the seller. I've gotten some great deals on eBay as a buyer. So thus is the nature of my love-hate relationship with eBay. :) BTW - for you eBay meteorite dealers, when you are reading to stop getting raped on fees, check out HighWire ecommerce - http://app.highwire.com/?ref=meteorite Best regards, MikeG -- Mike Gilmer - Galactic Stone & Ironworks Meteorites Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone News Feed - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone EOM - http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=1564 --- On 9/6/10, Meteorites USA wrote: > This crap by Paypal is something that should be illegal! it's true that > sellers with less than 100 feedback will have their funds placed on > hold.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ebays Buyer Protection is Guaranteed
This crap by Paypal is something that should be illegal! it's true that sellers with less than 100 feedback will have their funds placed on hold. Do you have ANY idea how this "Buyer Protection" actually works logistically? Paypal places a hold on the funds of the seller for up to 21 days until the buyer receives their item and/or gives positive feedback. This means the seller is forced to not oly wait until the "buyer" decides to give feedback, but they also must dip into their own pocket to ship and item that the buyer is supposed to pay shipping for. Paypal and Ebay decided to "secure" the order with the sellers money to "protect the buyer".

Re: [meteorite-list] Nemesis
Hi, Rob, Steve, List, In other words, the orbit would not be stable... The originator of the Nemesis hypothesis says exactly the same thing: not stable. What Richard Muller has proposed is that our Sun has a small stellar companion that becomes more eccentric with each of the many local perturbations by passing stars through the life of the solar system. http://muller.lbl.gov/pages/lbl-nem.htm The orbit gets "longer" and the timing of passages through Oortville varies as the aeons pass. (THAT'S a clever touch.) That's why the periodicity varies the way that it does. In the early days of the solar system, the passages did not "dig into" the Oort Cloud, but as the orbit elongates, the passages get "deeper" and the disturbances of objects greater and change frequency. The picture it suggests to me is that Life was content to spend its days at the beach of shallow warm tropical seas, reading the latest best-seller, for billions of slowly evolving years, until things got nasty enough to stimulate some genetic response to the increasing upset, forcing a complexity to arise. As it happens, the solar system impact rate has shot back up over the last 400 to 600 million years to early-days rates, another "fit," or circumstantial evidence, take your pick: http://muller.lbl.gov/papers/Lunar_impacts_Nemesis.pdf So, the "non-stability" of the orbit is part and parcel of the theory. If the Boogie Man Star is out there, WISE should spot it. But it's going to take a long time to process all that data and then acquire parallax data on all the candidates. Even then, if the current orbital motion is opposite to the direction of parallax shift, no accurate estimate of distance will be calculated right now. It could take a few years to get it right. Nemesises can be tricky. Sterling K. Webb -- - Original Message - From: "Rob Matson" To: Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 2:52 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Nemesis Hi Steve, I Just read "Rocks from space" and in the end of the book they mention Nemesis in the Oort cloud as being a red dwarf with a cycle of 26 to 30 million years. The theory that the sun has a long period, highly eccentric, red dwarf or brown dwarf companion is based on a ~perceived~ periodicity in earth's mass extinction record. From a strictly dynamical standpoint, it is a rather unlikely theory, IMO, since the dwarf orbit's required semi-major axis is so great that it would be subject to perturbations by nearby stars. In other words, the orbit would not be stable. Thanks to WISE (the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer), we shall soon be able to confirm or discard this theory. WISE is sensitive enough to detect any red dwarf or brown dwarf out to distances an order of magnitude greater than Nemesis' greatest possible distance. Even a Jupiter-mass object would be detectable at a distance of 1 light year, while a three-Jupiter-mass object would be detectable at 10 light years' distance. Realistically, if Nemesis exists it is almost certainly not a red dwarf as it would already have been discovered. A brown dwarf is the largest realistic candidate, and some Nemesis proponents theorize that its mass is only 3-5 times that of Jupiter -- too small to even be categorized as a brown dwarf. (Brown dwarf minimum size is 13 Jupiter masses -- the minimum mass to fuse deuterium.) So far WISE has discovered two unambiguous brown dwarfs (and a number of brown dwarf candidates), although their distances are not yet known. Follow-up measurements must be made by other instruments to measure their parallaxes, but I suspect these first two are more than 3 light years away (too distant to be Nemesis candidates). --Rob __ 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

[meteorite-list] Ebays Buyer Protection is Guaranteed
Tom, List, Apparently there is some cofusion about ebay buyer protection. It is a great thing and it is worry free if you follow directions as follows here. Pay pals number is 800-514-4920. I just called and Amy explained it completely and eBay now has 100% buyer protection. Guaranteed. The particulars are; 1. Must be an eBay purchase. 2. Must be paid to PayPal linked through eBay. In other words don't pay directly at PayPal site. Pay only by using link through eBay so, the transaction number is on the payment itself. 3. Sellers with under 100 feedbacks will not have your funds released until one of the following ; either 21 days pass. or seller supplies eBay with a delivery confirmation showing the item has been delivered to you. or you leave the seller positive feedback. So, for the first 21 days things are easy. All that said. EBay guarantees all sales with no dollar limit for 45 days. Period. You are guaranteed not to be ripped off on every eBay sale. There is absolutely NO risk at all to any buyer at any time. So, yes buy from anyone . even people with zero feedbacks are okay. She noted that this has only been the policy for about a year. Prior to that people could lose but not any more.. She went on to say that if you click on the words "buyer protection plan" this is all explained in writing as well.

Re: [meteorite-list] Nemesis
Hi Rob, Great answer to a question I had about it. How does one determine the cycle of a star? Also, if the Nemesis companion star does not exist for our Sun, are there any other theories or explanations of comets and how their orbits are perturbed into our system? What causes these bodies from the Oort cloud to be pulled into our solar system if not by a large mass such as another star? Do they simply bump into one another as is evidenced by Asteroid P/2010 A2 http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/asteroid-20100202.html In my understanding of comets they are originally stony/icy bodies that dwell originate from within the Kuiper Belt and Oort cloud which surrounds our solar system. We just don't call them comets until they come into our system of course and their "tails" are formed and become visible to us. The IAU defines them as a "Small Solar System body" according to Wikipedia. Question... Are asteroids (within the asteroid belt) dead comets? Or just simply debris left over from the formation of the solar system from the protoplanetary disk? There was an article in the March 2010 issue of Sky & Telescope titled "What else is out there?" by David Jewitt (Professor of Planetary Science at the UCLA) that makes a brief mention of Nemisis. http://www2.ess.ucla.edu/~jewitt/papers/2010/J10b.pdf but also explains the likelihood of seeing the brown dwarf at such vast distances. It also mentions WISE. To see a brown dwarf star is very difficult optically, but it would be much brighter in the infrared spectrum and easier to see. Perhaps WISE will find the companion star if in fact it exists? The thought experiment of visualizing Earth at KBO distances and beyond is thought provoking and puts things into a very intriguing perspective. I find this extremely fascinating!

[meteorite-list] Witnessed fall lunars?
Hi List, Is there a theory for why there have been no witnessed falls of lunar meteorites? It seems odd to me that we have 4 Martian witnessed falls (Shergotty, Chassigny, Zagami, Nakhla, and almost Lafayette) and no lunars. I also find it odd that no lunaites have been recovered from the Americas or Europe. It would seem that we are long overdue for two things to happen - for a lunaite to be recovered in the Americas/Europe and for a lunar witnessed fall. I wonder which will happen first?

[meteorite-list] PROBABLY NOT BOGUS Re: "Colombia confirms 'giant fire ball' a meteorite"
Hi Rich, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss this as a bogus event. The 100-m crater reports are certainly false, but a variety of Colombian newspapers are reporting the event as a daytime fireball. The online comments are full of eyewitness descriptions from people who claim to have seen the fireball and heard the detonation. At least one article reports broken windows from a putative shockwave in the rural town of Piedecuesta. The second link below also shows what appears to be a cell-phone capture of a smoke train. There was one widely-reported (and now widely discredited) report from a farmer who claimed 8 cows were killed and a soccer field destroyed...since a soccer field is around 100-m in length, I suspect this is where the "100-m crater" rumor started. http://www.eltiempo.com/colombia/oriente/explosion-en-santander-autoridades-investigan-si-fue-meteorito_7893516-1 http://www.vanguardia.com/bucaramanga-region/bucaramanga/74627-extrano-objeto-causo-sorpresa-en-santander Saludos, Eric Christensen __ 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

[meteorite-list] Nemesis
I Just read "Rocks from space" and in the end of the book they mention Nemisis in the ort cloud as being an red dwarf with a cycle of 26 to 30 million years. The idea of a multiple system for us is very intriguing. But a spheer of comets above a disc does not make much sence for a binary system. I Propose a triple system. The dopplar shift of our system hints at there being a mass 1/5th the size of our sun as missing from the solar system. In an binary system this mass should be in the solar disck.which doesnt explain the ort cloud. If we are in a triple system. With one red dwarf or mass 1/10th the size of our sun in orbit period of 13 to 15 million years. Causing a wobble in the solar disk. The ort cloud would be like a soccer ball sitting on the edge of the disk being rotated every 26 to 30 million years. With its red dwarf mass near the center of the cloud. And also with a mass 1/10th of the mass of the sun for the ort cloud. A triple system also explains the minor extinction events that happen. __ 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

[meteorite-list] Ad Whetstone Mountains last one!
Good day list members, Just a heads up reminder that I have the last piece that I will be selling of Whetstone Mountains on eBay ending this Wednesday Sept 8 at 6:00 pm PST. This material truly is extremely, extremely rare ( only 3 kilos recovered in well over a year) and you will not see any other large complete, documented and uncut pieces for sale at the very low and very reasonable reserve price I am asking for this last piece of the main mass of 451.7 grams. I will be keeping the fourth and last fragment of 62.3 grams from the main mass in my permanent collection and it will never be for sale. I have to keep a piece of the main mass for my collection as there are good memories associated with this find in particular. This fall is very rare and very historic being only the second Arizona fall to be recovered since the Holbrook fall of July 19, 1912. This fall has also been meticulously documented and recorded as was the Holbrook fall in a published monograph. The fact that each piece is photographed and pictured in the monograph in situ makes the specimens all the more desirable and collectible. The only other recent fall that I can think of that is more difficult to collect right now is Kosice so if you want a true museum grade specimen of Whetstone Mountains with impeccable provenance and documentation ( you also will receive the signed and serial numbered monograph for this specimen) in your collection, this will be your best opportunity.
