Re: [meteorite-list] Not Weston?!
Hello, Definitely Weston. The photo is the Smithsonian's specimen. The facts in the article are a bit out of wack but the basic story is correct. The stone in the Gibb's collection was 36.5 pounds that went to the Peabody Museum. It was the only one of the seven stones that wasn't smashed on landing or in search for treasure. Still have doubts? The following link is to the Smithsonian specimen. It's up-side-down to the newspaper photo. http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/emuwebmsweb/pages/common/imagedisplay.php?irn=1000955reftable=enmnhrefirn=1022304 Cheers, Frank From: ma...@imagineopals.com ma...@imagineopals.com To: drtanuki drtan...@yahoo.com Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tue, January 18, 2011 4:59:14 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Not Weston?! wrong image by an uninformed reporter who took lots of photos?

Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Meteorites Magazines
List, Paul asked Has anyone who subscribed to MHC Magazine gotten any other issue via snail mail beyond the premier July issue? I haven't and my unsolicited opinion is that we probably will not receive any in the future. Publishing and distributing niche periodicals is a daunting and costly endeavour requiring one to to purchase paper stock, edit copy, select and caption photos, layout, print and pay postage for snail mail. Were talking high four figures a month without paying any salaries, or profit. When I saw the excellent (expensive) first issue I said to myself...This ain't gonna last as the publisher would have to maintain a paid subscription base in the thousands to just break even. Online only might pencil out. Mailing hard copies is a brutal nut to crack. I wish the publisher all the good luck in the world and my compliments on the quality of the first issue.

[meteorite-list] (OT) GPS POI files for Tucson and Southern Arizona
Apologies for this cross posting this semi off topic message, but I know there are people on each of these lists that might have an interest in this, but they are not on more than one of the lists I'm sending this to, so this seemed most efficient... For those of you who will be attending the Gem, Fossil Mineral shows here in Tucson starting next week, I have created a Point of Interest file for use in personal GPS devices that has the location for each of the 40 plus shows, broken down by both show name and location name. For those coming for their first show, I think you'll this file will indispensable to help you find your way around to the various shows. If you are a show regular, you may find that the file is still useful helping you find this year's brand new show locations, or find those more obscure shows you haven't been to before. This file, Tucson Gem, Mineral Fossil Showcase can be found on the excellent site POI-Factory at: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/24678 In addition to this file, I have also created several others that may be of interest to those of you who visit Tucson for business and pleasure. One is for those interested in Astronomy and others are of a more general interest. Optical Valley- Tucson, Arizona is the astronomy specific file. It contains the locations and descriptions of every professional telescope in the Tucson and Southern Arizona as well as a few locations on the University of Arizona campus. (No amateur sites or commercial telescopes are included) Lastly, I've created a few files that can be used by general visitors and residents alike. Optical Valley - http://www.poi-factory.com/node/17651 Tucson Southern Arizona Attractions - http://www.poi-factory.com/node/31932 Saguaro National Park East West - http://www.poi-factory.com/node/17355 All of these files may be downloaded for free as can most of the other files on that site. Most of my files are generated in the Garmin GPX format, but there are a number of software programs that can make a conversion for you if your unit does not handle the GPX format. I've created several more Tucson files and there are many created by others that could be useful for people visiting the area, so be sure try more than just my files. I'm in no way associated with the Poi-Factory website, but it is a friendly, helpful site that is free and has NO advertising on it.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Special: NWA 6349 prov. - a PRIME Brachinite at a low preferential price
Dear meteorite friends, As a starter for our new meteoritical year, we chose for our Special a truly especially convincing offer: An excellent brachinite. The class of the brachinites comprises quite heterogeneous members and their genesis and the kind and history of their possible parent body isn't fully understood yet, which makes that type so thrilling for the actual research. To avoid iteration of former discussions and explanations on the brachinite-group here on the list and in our specials and in fully recognizing, that no one could better present the different types in such an up-to-date and comprehensive manner than him, we recommend to consult David Weir's famous meteorite studies homepage to get an insight into the brachinite-topic. With NWA 6349 today an attractive and very elegant representative of its class climbs in the ring. As you see already on the pictures, NWA 6349 lacks the brownish tint and color, which other brachinites commonly share and which you connect with that type, remembering the illustrations in the books of the classic one, Eagles Nest. It is, because NWA 6349 isn't so weathered like the others, but of a still good freshness. With several new numbers in the recent 2-3 years - and also the Bulletin database not yet fully updated with the newer ones, (but also the holders of samples of them being somewhat scrooge in loading up photos of their specimens in the EoM), the situation with the brachinites is currently still somewhat opaque. We personally believe to see actually 4 complexes: - NWA 3151, highlighted as the first true BRA from NWA + pairings. - NWA 5471 possible pairings - The stones around NWA 4882 NWA 5969, the latter the freshest of all - And let us add, although no brachinites, the recent brachinite-like numbers NWA 5400 et seqq. There are indications, that our NWA 6349 with its 730g tkw may be a pairing of NWA 4882. Here are coming now the slices, as always with one polished side: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa6349.html Despite the recent numbers and nevertheless, a glimpse in the Bulletin Database shows, how shockingly rare that type is (and of what for a crucial importance the NWA finds are for research); The quality of the NWA 6349 material is evident, the price of the alleged possible pairings maybe here and there in the back of your mind, so that we finally think, that our pricing of 40$ a gram will make NWA 6349 for the collector curator to an especially joyful brachinite.

Re: [meteorite-list] (OT) GPS POI files for Tucson and Southern Arizona
If you don't want to do this, go to the on-line sites, get the addresses for the show, program them into your GPS BEFORE you head to Tucson and you're good to go. I've done that and it sure saves time going to shows that you've never been to before. And, risking the wrath of the list, I, too, program in the address for restaurants that I want to visit.

For those of you who will be attending the Gem, Fossil Mineral shows here in Tucson starting next week, I have created a Point of Interest file for use in personal GPS devices that has the location for each of the 40 plus shows, broken down by both show name and location name.

One is for those interested in Astronomy and others are of a more general interest. Optical Valley- Tucson, Arizona is the astronomy specific file. It contains the locations and descriptions of every professional telescope in the Tucson and Southern Arizona as well as a few locations on the University of Arizona campus.

Most of my files are generated in the Garmin GPX format, but there are a number of software programs that can make a conversion for you if your unit does not handle the GPX format. I've created several more Tucson files and there are many created by others that could be useful for people visiting the area, so be sure try more than just my files.

By loading the POIs I've cited you'll have several hundred locations loaded to your unit in just a few minutes. I agree about finding good restaurants too. If you explore that POI-Factory website you'll find dozens if not hundreds of poi files for restaurants containing thousands of locations. I heartily recommend the restaurants in the Diners, Drive-Ins Dives files. For those unfamiliar with the program of the same name on the Food Network here in the States, they highlight mom pop places with funky atmosphere's and toe curlingly great food. (Personal experiences) I got my first consumer automotive GPS unit a few years ago when I started photographing real estate. Today I couldn't imagine traveling without it. They are awesome when you are in unfamiliar territory.

[meteorite-list] Seeking Impact Materials
Dear friends, I would like to put together an educational collection of impact materials. I need examples of a variety of impactites. I've got tektites and moldavite, but would like partial melts, highly shocked materials, breccias, suevites, and so on, with their crater of origin (and preferably location in relation to the crater). I particularly need materials that will show microscopic shock alteration features in thin section. I recently collected a quantity of really nice coherent samples of KT boundary material from the legendary outcrops near Trinidad, in Southern Colorado, and would be happy to send a provenanced piece of this, along with my sincere thanks, to anyone that is willing to send me nice, labeled materials that I can use. Please reply off list, and I will supply my personal mailing address and get yours (if you are interested in the KT material in return).

Re: [meteorite-list] Speaking of Weston...
I just took a quick look as some of the reviews of this book that were written by CT newspapers, and I will have to read the book to determine the accuracy of some of the statements. 1. As far as the birth of American science - science-oriented statesman Benjamin Franklin preceded Benjamin Silliman in giving American science a name abroad. He was held in the highest respect as a scientist just as much as a statesman in Europe for his electrical investigations, and attended the salon of the Lavoisiers in Paris regularly. 2. What happened to mention of James Woodhouse of Philadelphia (1770-1809), who had a laboratory in Philadelphia that Joseph Priestly, the discover of oxygen, used to visit? Woodhouse also analyzed the Weston stone, but off-hand, I don't know who has priority. I hope the book mentions Woodhouse. 3. Weston - the first scientific investigation that proved that meteorites came from outer space? What happened to mention of Edward Howard, L'Aigle, Chladni, etc.? Again, I haven't read the book yet, so perhaps the reporting is inaccurate. But if there is any truth to reviews that I have seen, this book is headed for trouble. I would be interested in any comments from those who have already had a chance to read or peruse the book. Thanks.

If you collected in the Raton Pass/ S of Trinidad road cuts along the Interstate or outlier sites from the Interstate in the region, I hope you had a knowledgeable field guide with you. Most of these exposures are slumped over. If you collected elsewhere in the region at a clean site, the fireball layer is difficult to resolve even if you are a trained geologist and even then, it is a ball buster to recognize the K/T layer. Clay layer look-a likes are intercalated with thinly bedded carbonaceous shales and coal seams and this sequence is typically meters thick on either side of the boundary.

[meteorite-list] AD - NWA 6292 (NWA 5400 paired) thin sections 4 available
I am finally back online. Been a very crazy few weeks. Sorry to all I have not caught up with. Will be in touch soon, I have many emails to go over. That said, I need to raise some cash. I have 4 thin sections (uncovered) of NWA 6292 which as we all know is paired with the famous NWA 5400. These are huge, thumbprint sized sections of a hand picked slice. You simple wont find better quality sections anywhere else of this material at this price. I am asking only $300 per section and can provide pics on request. I dont expect these to last long, whats left will go onto ebay at $350.00 when I get to listing many new meteorites tonight. I also have one available for loan - but considering the value and material, I wish to only offer to those that can make use of these for research and study. Hope everyone is doing well.

Re: [meteorite-list] Seeking Impact Materials
Ted, Yes. It was no small process to collect the samples. Weeks of research went in to preparing for the trip, and even at that I did not feel confident enough in what I initially collected along the highway to reliably call it KT boundary material, for exactly the reasons you point out,... though I did spend quite a while squatting precariously on a very uncomfortably steep slope over the cut above the access road. I did finally locate the iconic layer in a good clear exposure outside nearby Cokedale, a location that has been decribed as one of the best in the world. After collecting, I followed the exposure for a half mile or so down the railroad tracks there... a truly memorable walk. If I didn't have hundreds of hours of experience tracing subtle difference in dolomite and slight variations in sand or silt content in limestone for miles through the valleys of the Ozarks, I don't know that I would have found it. As it is, it was one of my more enjoyable outings. -Robert Beauford --- On Wed, 1/19/11, Ted Bunch tbe...@cableone.net wrote: From: Ted Bunch tbe...@cableone.net Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Seeking Impact Materials To: Robert Beauford robertbeauf...@rocketmail.com, meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 2:20 AM You ask a lot - there are good impactites offered at the Tucson show and on the internet.

Re: [meteorite-list] Speaking of Weston...
Hello Mark, I'm now half way through the book and can report that Prince does explain and relate everyone in your #2. I think the reader will find Silliman's and Woodhouse's relationship to the Weston fall quite interesting. As for #1, I think perhaps Turning Point would have been a better choice and less controversial than Birth. She has made a strong case so far, though, as it pertains to the general state of science in America at the time. I haven't found anything yet that confirms the wild review claim in your #3, but I still have half a book to go. I did find myself having to re-read several paragraphs after thinking That's not true!, only to realize that it was prefixed with ...the first *American* to... You'll see that Prince is very careful with her wording in some places and it seems to me that, at times, this can pump up Silliman's accomplishments. She does write that Silliman drew on the work of Chladni and discusses other falls and figures later in the book, but really tries to stay within the parameters of American figures, events, and milestones. There are a couple of glaring errors related to meteorite history that do stick out. I'll see if others pick up on them as well. So far it is a solid book. The accounts of the Weston fall are particularly fun and Prince does a good job painting an image of early life and hardship in Weston and the fall as described by the residents. I'll finish the rest tomorrow. Time for bed...

Re: [meteorite-list] Speaking of Weston...
Hi Mike, I just ordered my copy online, so it will take me a few days to get the book. But Franklin was a real scientist - a respected one at that in Europe. So I'll have to see what the book says for myself. Regarding Woodhouse, Silliman seems to have had a bad relationship with him and would not show him his manuscript on the Weston meteorite when he went to visit Woodhouse in Philadelphia. It should also be pointed out that Woodhouse was Silliman's chemistry teacher, and died soon after the Weston meteorite literature was published, so he didn't really get a chance to discuss it. But he did conduct an analysis of the Weston stone, perhaps before Silliman - I am in the process of obtaining the original papers. The question is how good the analyses were. So, you have the advantage on me since you have the book! :-) I'll have to take a wait and see attitude until I have a chance to read it. But anyone who says that the Weston meteorite was the birth of American science in light of the accomplishments of Franklin and Woodhouse, is going to get strange looks from me without providing a pretty good explanation! As noted in Burke, both Silliman and Woodhouse were familiar with foreign chemical analyses, and knew that they should be looking for nickel. It's more likely that Silliman's real contribution to American science was the establishment of the American Journal of Science in 1818, and not the analysis of the Weston meteorite. Sounds like an exaggerated title for the book. Then again, my impressions have been made from the book reviews, and not the book, so we'll see! Thanks for you initial thoughts, Mike!
