[meteorite-list] Meteorite crater found on mount Ararat?
http://www.sott.net/articles/show/223395-Meteorite-crater-found-on-mount-Ararat- Tue, 08 Feb 2011 08:31 CST Astrophysicists Vahe Gurzadyan from the Yerevan Physics Institute in Armenia and Sverre Aarseth from the University of Cambridge in the UK, discovered an unrecorded crater that raises the possibility that the biblical mountain Ararat was struck by a meteorite. A British scientific publication OBSERVATORY will soon publish an article about the discovery. However, after appearing on the University Cornell website it had already spread around the world. Mount Ararat is an ancient, isolated volcano in eastern Turkey near the borders with Armenia. The northern and western slopes of the mountain are closed to public but somehow the two physicists gained access. At an altitude of 2100 metres, at coordinates 39˚ 47' 30''N, 44˚ 14' 40''E, they found a well-preserved and previously unrecorded crater some 70 metres across. Gurzadyan and Aarseth think that it is the result of a meteorite impact. They rule out a glacial origin on the grounds that 2100 metres is well below the glacier line. Gurzadyan and Aarseth publish their account with the intention of attracting interest so that the crater can be properly classified. __ 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] How to use meteorites if your sick.....
Hi please do not do what the Russian villagers of Novo-Urei did on September 4, 1886. They thought that the meteorite which had just fallen was 'Manna', some kind of sweet gift from God, and ate fragments of it. The effect of this cosmic cure is unknown... Something similar happened in Uganda in 1992 with the Mbale meteorite. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME !!! ;-) Get well soon!

Aloha everyone, Actually I believe that the power of the mind is a better tool for healing ones illnesses. We still dont have the faintess idea of how much of the power in our brains we actually use. Somewhere I think it is less than 10%, correct me if I am wrong. The Japanese and Chinese use meditation as a form of self-healing and I know that quite a few of the older Hawaiians do the same. Amazing things happen if you Put your mind to work for you.

[meteorite-list] AD: Gemmology of Vesta - Blossoms of Planetary Poetry
Dear Passionates, today we make something different than usual - curious as we are, we want to test whether facebook could be something for us and launched our special offer there. For the impatient ones - here already the link: http://kuerzer.de/VestaGems But don't worry, if you're not familiar with or if facebook is suspect to you, just give us a note, and we immediately will send you a private email with pictures prices of all available specimens. For that experiment we chose quite the most fabulous material which was readily prepared at hand. A few of you will remember our NWA 5478. That incredible eucrite with such a diversity of appearances, from a perfect Moon mimicry, to patterns you rather would expect on the catwalks of Paris or Milano, up to picture puzzles of fine art: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/euc-face.jpg We were lucky to gather a longer while ago a few marbles of this material more. Or to say it like it should be correct: Some stones which we personally strongly believe to be paired to NWA 5478. Of course they will be correctly classified and they will obtain an own NWA-number. In fact we rather would have waited until we got the number, before we'd think about setting them on sale, but when we showed that specimen: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/1_062gb.jpg ..the collectors urged us to offer them already in advance. We always sincerely hoped to get one day a larger stone of that material, without doubts such a specimen would be from the beginning on: legend. Alas, three years waiting yielded nothing more than these few pebbles, less than a small handful. If you keep in mind, that on a find site or in a strewnfield always the largest stones are picked up first and the smallest found last, we're not confident that our dream ever will come true. However. As small as the marbles are, it is certainly one of the finest HEDs, the deserts ever spat out. 23 specimens we have for sale. All are true astonishing gems. All are polished half-stones. The price per gram is higher than for average eucrites, but because the weights of the gems are so small, the overall-prices for the specimens are very comfortable. They rank between 51$ and 180$ per piece, two are larger and cost 500$ and 700$. Only with the best specimen of the whole new series we will make an exception, and will have a kind of an private auction without hurry. Highest bid will fetch it, increments are 10$, Secret maximum bids remain secret and will automatically used only to that extent necessary to hold the leading bid. http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/1_062gb.jpg And that, until nobody wants to bid more. With fair warnings. Hence without battles in the last 10 seconds. We're quite in the beginning at 90$ now. Duration - a day will be enough, but also necessary, for the Japanese and Australian collectors having a chance too. So again, Don't be shy to ask us for an email, if you don't like facebook. Alone the pictures you HAVE to see, they are a delight. Have all a fine and relaxing Sunday!

[meteorite-list] Utah (Dugway) Bolide info?
Now that winter is almost over, we'll be resuming our search for the Utah meteorite soon. While in Tucson this year, I was impressed with how much information others had on this event. With that in mind, I'd like to pick the collective minds of the list for information, ideas and opinions on this event. I'm determined to find SOMETHING of this meteorite!

[meteorite-list] Public Outreach: Thanks and TRADE request
Hello all. Apologies for this cross post. You may remember a request I put out before the Tucson Shows for meteoritic material to be used for Public Outreach at the Catalina Sky Survey's telescopes and for visitors to the meteorite lab at LPL. We were the beneficiary of some unexpected generosity by a few people. I'm not sure if they want their donations known publicly, so for now I hope they'll accept my public thanks on these forums. I will say that when I handed Dolores Hill the bags of meteorites for the U of A meteorite lab's outreach, she too was overwhelmed by the generosity of the donors. One of the donors also provided us with five CV stones totaling about 155g. I also have three specimens that I purchase in the past year as well. In total these 8 stones weigh in at 296.3g. I am still looking for a single CV hand specimen for use with our PO programs that is somewhere between 300 - 500g in size.. I would like to offer the 8 stones I already have as trade in whole or in part for a single hand sized specimen. I'm willing to pay the difference in cost to obtain a single stone. If you have a CV-type stone (my preference would be for a stone with a dark matrix with colorful chondrules visible on the surface) that you are willing to part with please contact me privately. Thank you all for your consideration of this request and especially to those who have already donated generously to our cause. -- Richard Kowalski Catalina Sky Survey Lunar and Planetary Laboratory University of Arizona http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/css/ __ 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] Looking to Buy. Trying to complete my type set
Hello all, Though I've been collecting meteorites on and off, my desires took over a little over two years ago. Since then my primary collecting interests have centered around building a meteorite type set. In the last two years I have nearly completed the task, and am only missing a handful of types to make the collection complete. As such I'd like to put my want list out there and see if anyone might have what I am looking for. At the top of my want list are the types; C4 CK6 EH3 EL5 EL7 R6 While I haven't quite finished the necessary research on the irons I need, for completeness it appears I am missing these groups: IC IID IIF IIG IIICD IIIE IIIF IVB (Hoba) I'm not looking for museum quality specimens, but instead I am looking for pieces that range from a few grams to a few milligrams, depending on the per gram price, to fill in the remaining holes in my collection. If you have anything I need, I would really appreciate you contacting me off list with availability and prices. THANKS! -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 Don't pick lemons.

Re: [meteorite-list] Utah (Dugway) Bolide info?
Being the local go-to guy the local media calls anytime something happens in the heavens I got a flood of calls and emails right after the fall, many from folks media referred to me. I was surprised at the number of out of town and even out of the country hunters I heard from all saying they were going to get permission to hunt the proving grounds. I should add that some of those calls were from some very, shall we say, interesting people. LOL! So it would not surprise me to hear that Dugway has already been searched (legally or otherwise). But I'd be happy to help with any new searches in any way I can from offering ground transport to low altitude fixed wing aerial searches.

Re: [meteorite-list] Utah (Dugway) Bolide info?
last time I was at Dugway was on a mission with 5th special forces group A. Even having a CDIF clearance I was still escorted by two armed guards as is required with the two man rule. In addition protective clothing was required and decontamination after only walking on approoved paths. This is not my Idea of a great place to look for any meteorite. The level of contamination from nuclear.biogical.and chemical weapons is just too much. There isnt a blade of grass. An inscect or anything alive for miles. The only expainition I will give about government security clearances is to say that if anyone told you they had a top secretclearance. They are full of shit. Have a great day and stop trying to look for the meteorite at Dugway. I personaly would rather look for one at Chernoble it would be safer.

Between knowing where I was sitting, where I saw the bolide burnout and the time on my stop watch from when I saw the burst to when I heard it, I put the burst occurring over Granite Peak. Alas, that is deep inside Dugway Proving Grounds. patrick On 13 Feb 2011, at 10:51, Barrett wrote: Now that winter is almost over, we'll be resuming our search for the Utah meteorite soon. While in Tucson this year, I was impressed with how much information others had on this event. With that in mind, I'd like to pick the collective minds of the list for information, ideas and opinions on this event. I'm determined to find SOMETHING of this meteorite! Any and all help would be appreciated.

[meteorite-list] More on the Moon's Core
Science Daily has an article on a recent re-analysis of data on the Lunar interior in the journal Science: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110106144751.htm Featuring a nice cameo appearance by a slice of NWA 5000 According to the team's findings, published Jan. 6 in the online edition of Science, the Moon possesses an iron-rich core with a solid inner ball nearly 150 miles in radius, and a 55-mile thick outer fluid shell. The Moon's deepest interior, especially whether or not it has a core, has been a blind spot for seismologists, says Ed Garnero, a professor at the School of Earth and Space Exploration in ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The seismic data from the old Apollo missions were too noisy to image the Moon with any confidence. Other types of information have inferred the presence of a lunar core, but the details on its size and composition were not well constrained.

[meteorite-list] Auctions Ending Website Update
Hello fellow listees, I have several dozen auctions that will be ending over the next three days (beginning in about 11 hours). Pieces up for auction include some beautifully oriented baby Sikhote-Alin's, a miniature specimen with lot of miniature regmaglypts, a brand new CV3 I had classified (provisionally NWA 6571), NWA 6159 (CV3), NWA 6160 (L6), Mount Egerton (Aub.), Toufassour (Meso), Tatahouine, Chergach, Toluca, Admire, NWA 515, NWA 2948, NWA 869, Pallasovka, Mount Tazerzait, and a variety of unclassified stones (whole, end-cuts, and slices). In addition, I have extra small Rikers available as well. After some difficulties with my website prior to going to Tucson, I completely redesigned it (hopefully for the better). Currently it is populated mainly with meteorite jewelry, however I will be adding a variety of loose specimens in the coming weeks. You can see the new site in action at www.meteoritetreasures.com Here's wishing everyone traveling home from Tucson safe travels!
