[meteorite-list] Moapa Valley CM1 Thin Sections
Hi List, I just received 6 thin sections of Moapa Valley CM1 back from the thin section maker (Steve Schoner of Petroslides) . These are 25 microns thick and the material is roughly about 1 inch by 1/4 inch in size. This material is extremely rare and difficult to work with and there will be only a few made and put up for sale. I am asking $500 per thin section plus shipping and insurance if necessary. Contact Off List Happy Holidays!

[meteorite-list] ANSMET Hunting for Meteorites Again in Antarctic
http://explorersweb.com/world/news.php?id=19831 Antarctic science wrap-up: ANSMET hunting for meteorites again Exploresweb December 15, 2010 (By Correne Coetzer) This Antarctic season ANSMET has two field teams with separate goals hunting for meteorites; a smaller, more mobile team dedicated to exploring previously unvisited meteorite sites and based at the South Pole, and a larger team that conducts highly systematic searches on ice fields where they know there are many meteorites, based at the Davis Nunataks and Mount Ward. The Fuchs Foundation Science teachers are back at Union Glacier. The Moon Regan Transantarctic vehicles are heading towards Union Glacier while collecting meteorites for ANSMET and the KNGS Arctic Trucks are nearing Novolazarevskaya. Here follows information about ANSMET?s goal on Antarctica as reported over Contact 5: Team operating near Davis Nunataks and Mount Ward "The goal for the larger party or officially known as G-058-M, this season is full-scale systematic meteorite recovery from ice fields in the Dominion Range near Davis Nunataks and Mt. Ward in the central Transantarctic Mountains. Informally we call the site the Davis Ward ice fields." "First visited by ANSMET in the mid-eighties, we conducted more serious reconnaissance in 2003 that proved the full potential of the site. Systematic work in the region in 2008-2009 by a team of six recovered more than 600 meteorites in 4 weeks of work; we expect somewhat higher totals this year, weather depending, given a longer season and more boots on the ice. The site is fairly windy, and the meteorites are mixed in with many terrestrial rocks, so a lot of the meteorite recovery will be done during foot searches." "Following established ANSMET protocols, the group will conduct overlapping transect searches of these exposed blue ice regions, recover any meteorites that are encountered, and deliver these specimens to the planetary materials research community." ANSMET team operating from the South Pole "The more mobile party, G-057-M, or the reconnaissance team's targets include northeastern regions of the LaPaz Ice fields area, ice fields in the Patuxent Range, and ice fields adjacent to the Omega and Whichaway nunataks and in the Argentina Range." "Both the LaPaz and Patuxent sites have been visited previously; but this year's effort at LaPaz targets small "satellite" ice fields that were not visited during previous work in the region. Several ice fields in the Patuxent Range were searched only briefly during an overland traverse in 1991 and about 60 meteorites were recovered, but the large main ice field immediately east of the Patuxent range was only briefly explored." "The 2010 team will be more methodical in their explorations so the full potential of the site for a denser concentration of meteorites can be understood. Finally, several relatively small ice fields "way out" from South Pole near the Omega and Whichaway nunataks, the upper Recovery glacier, and the Argentina range will be examined during a pre-season overflight and may become ground targets as well." "The team will be staged at South Pole and then shuttled out to target ice fields, with the various target sites prioritized after a pre-season reconnaissance flight. Once in the field, the team will generally be self sufficient, but there will be several camp moves in midseason for which the schedule needs to be very flexible to accommodate the weather and the required time for searching." The Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) is a field-based research program funded by both the National Science Foundation and by NASA to recover meteorites for later scientific research. The field team (informally called, systematic team) at Davis Ward: Ralph Harvey, Principal Investigator for ANSMET Jim Karner, post-doc in the ANSMET program Shaun Norman, mountaineer and field safety officer Inge Loes ten Kate Rhiannon Mayne Ryan Zeigler William Satterwhite Ray Jayawardhana Joe Boesenberg (filling Ralph's slot at mid-season). The field team for the recon party: John Schutt, field team leader and ANSMET head mountaineer Steve Ballou Melissa Lane Serena Aunon __ 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] Double Geminid Photo
It says its a composite image from 850 frames over the 13th/14th with 30 sec shutter for each. Using intervalometer running all night I presume. I was wondering initially as they seem to be coming from multiple directions.

Re: [meteorite-list] Double Geminid Photo
wow thats an octa-geminid. how long was his shutter open to catch all that? doesn't look like very long, considering the lack of star trails and ground movement in the trees. I looked at some of Jimmy's pictures in his flicker account. really great astro photos. his solar photos are especially amazing.
