Re: [meteorite-list] Meteoritists: Do Angrites Originate from Mercury?
Hi Walter, A non-scientist chiming in. A while back we had this discussion when someone was promoting their material and used this as a possible selling point. I believe in the end based on sited scientific papers it was mostly agreed there is not any real proof of the angrite material coming from Mercury. I have included some reference material for your and other list member's reading by scientists on this subject. Here: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20070021589_2007019150.pdf and here: http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1995Metic..30..269L .

Re: [meteorite-list] The Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World
Greetings List Members, Having just returned from another of my global expeditions, I thought I would share a few more of the reasons why I am the Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World. My list of meteorites won a Pulitzer prize. Mike Farmer has nothing but good things to say about me. The Catalogue of Meteorites is my biography. I am the central uplift of every crater. I once traded a slice of Old Woman for something younger and better-looking. During the Tucson show, hotels scramble to reserve me. The Labennes tried to conceal the coordinates of my summer home.

[meteorite-list] The Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World
MikeG; excellent comedic writing, funniest stuff I've read in a long time. -- Instead of pumice, my wife prefers to use nakhlite to exfoliate her feet. So I'm down at the museum having the scientists cut a 400 gram block out of the back of the Lafayette meteorite for her, when lo and behold, I spot the world's first interstellar meteorite amongst the collection! The idiots had it mis-labeled as a brachinite. After running a few tests, I determined it originated in the asteroid belt of Proxima Centauri and was composed of pure compressed cosmic dust. When my wife mentioned she was bored with her regular mud pack of ground up Tagish Lake, the scientists insisted we take half of the proximite to replace it. As we were leaving, a NASA guy gave us a multi-kilo basalt rock picked up by Neil Armstrong on the lunar maria to use in our aquarium. Then when I get home, I discover that the Danish National Museum had installed the Agpalilik in the lobby of my mansion. They explained they just had it sitting around outside and thought it might look nice in my home, which is constructed entirely of NWA meteorites, each one individually shaped by an Amish master stone cutter.

Re: [meteorite-list] The Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World
That's nothin'. My touch cures lawrencite disease. Perfect slices spall off any meteorite I decide to cut. Dogs and other animals spontaneously bring me meteorites. I own pieces of EVERY meteorite. I can go through the most unpromising grab bag of rocks, and not only pull out a meteorite, it will be a planetary. Pull the other one, it's got bells on! Best!

[meteorite-list] Tuscon help/info
Hi all. I am thinking of heading out for Tuscon either tonight or tomorrow. Will be a 2 day drive, but I dont like to fly... My wife has to work so I will be traveling with my 2 kids, one is 8 the other turned 4 today! Was planning on a stay close by, but it did not pan out, the only other option is about 3 hours one way from the area of the show... Having my kids keeps me from crashing in the car or camping out. Anyone in the area... is there reasonable priced ($60 or under per night) rooms within an hour still? Not looking to sell from it, only need it as a place to lay our heads for the night. Would anyone have a extra room or floor me and the kids could use for the 3-4 days I will be there?

[meteorite-list] Angrites was Do Angrites Originate from Mercury?
Hello list, I have been attending this Tucson Gem show every year since 1989 and today tops them all. Today at the Tucson Gem show I just saw the most amazing meteorite I have ever seen before. ET has on display the main mass of D'Orbigny. I thought I'd seen everything. Seeing this meteorite up close blew me away. If their really is a *king* of angrites then D'Orbigny has got to be the *God of Angrites*.Perhaps the God of all meteorites. pictures don't do this thing justice. It is a must see. Absolutely amazing. No need to even try to post a picture. You just have to see it in person. Huge Pale colored opaque Olivine crystals. Yes Opaque olivine. And ET is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. Carl . -- Carl or Debbie Esparza Meteoritemax Greg Catterton star_wars_collec...@yahoo.com wrote: Cant wait.
