Re: [meteorite-list] Strange Happenings
Hi Adam, Your triangle is an emergency landing area that was scraped out for use by students from Luke, Kingman and Las Vegas air training facilities all the way into the sixties. There are several in different areas of Northern Arizona, Western California and Southern Nevada. The tip off is the length, width and provision for six approaches no mattter what the wind. This one has held up better than others I've seen.

[meteorite-list] Strange Happenings
Dear List Members, Just returned from a field trip in Hassayampa Basin, Arizona while staying with my uncle in Wickenburg. There was some discussion on the List a month or so ago about finding strange things in the middle of the desert. How about a perfect triangle with all three sides adding up to around 3 miles carved in the middle of nowhere? It kind of reminds me of landing strip but there are no buildings or support services anywhere near it. My uncle did find a promising brown crusted stone about a mile away from the mysterious triangle. Google Earth image of huge triangle in the middle of the desert: http://themeteoritesite.com/GoogleEarth_Image.jpg Google link to same: http://themeteoritesite.com/GoogleEarth_Placemark.kmz Link to image of promising looking find: http://themeteoritesite.com/Stone-a.jpg It never fails to amaze me what odd things we always seem to run into in the desert.

While I wont buy a meteorwrong (would rather spend the $1-$5 per gram on real meteorites) I do have a small collection I or others have found or I have been given.

I will often put a right in with a pile of wrongs and kids who pick the meteorite get a free meteorite. To me, they just are not worth buying.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteowrongs - Collect?
Hi List, I have built up a collection of wrongs by chance. Over the years, when I'd find a wrong in a batch of unclassifieds, I'd toss it into a box. Now I have a box full of weird rocks that I can bring myself to toss out. Maybe one of them will turn out to be something rare one day. One of the only wrongs I have acquired intentionally is a 39g whole slice of Shirokovsky. Fortunately, I was one of the later buyers who knew it was a wrong when I bought it. I do keep a few wrongs in my online store for collectors who like them - some anorthosite lunar analogs, iron-silicate wrongs, and a piece of copal that is a dead ringer for LDG.

Hello List, I propose here the Main Mass (1051g) of the NWA 6352 meteorite for sale... Why this meteorite is the twinn sister of the famous historic Ornans meteorite : On about 40 000 official meteorites, only 225 are CO3 (called the Ornans group) On 225 meteorites on the Ornans group, only 5 are CO3.4, exactly like the Ornans meteorite (include this first famous witnessed fall) My NWA 6352 is the number 6, the second after Ornans (TKW 6Kg) in term of mass (1.277Kg) NWA 6352 is the more fresh CO3.4 after Ornans, with a weathering grade of only W1! Fun fact, I live in Besançon, a city about 20 km of the place where Ornans meteorite fell in Jully 1868, and I am the main mass holder of its twin sister : NWA 6352 ! http://www.wwmeteorites.com/NWA6352.html Interesting in?

Aloha Rob, Thank you for those great links, and I like your pictures of your Sikhotes. Svend's website is a great resource for information, and his article on fusion crusts are no exception.

[meteorite-list] AD: 1kg of "MendotaWrong" One of the world's best and maybe the most beautiful ever
Sorry, I forgot to mention the price, It is $325 for 1kg and free shipping to USA and I will split shipping outside of USA Hello Fellow Meteorite Enthusiasts, I have a kilo of one of the world's best "meteorwrongs". Unlike most other meteorwrongs, all but 2(Skirokovsky & Putorano), this is very collectable and is already in many collectors collections around the World. So far, this material has only been found near Mendota, IL. hence the name "MendotaWrong" This kilo is mostly complete stones, with a few cut stones. This material usually sells for between $1-$3 per gram. You will be able to keep some beautiful pieces for your collection an be able to more than double your investment. This material has baffled many collectors and scientist to. Here are a few links to see how beautiful and meteorite-like it is. http://illinoismeteorites.com/Setofstones1.htm http://illinoismeteorites.com/setofstones2.htm http://illinoismeteorites.com/setofstones3.htm If you're interested contact me off-list.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bigfoot and the "Nakhla Dog"
Sorry list last post on this topic for me, How long does one have to be in the meteorite world before they're no longer considered a newcomer (noob) by you< I'd say when you grow up and learn to respect other people's view points. Not off topic posts. Also keeping your noise out of business that isn't yours in the first place. Your not the authority here as you have tried to appoint yourself and I'll post as I see fit. You are accusing me of being arrogant? That's funny.< Yes, your are very arrogant. Your need to try to show me up for a simple request to respect other peoples believe systems. I feel this is a place for everyone except for those who try to use it to their own benefits without regards to others. Your one guy who simply can't keep your fat mouth shut when you want to control what someone else is pointing out is wrong. Well eric you can't do that with me. Now for another petty shot at your magazine (your standards). Truthfully, how many people have or haven't (more have than have not)< received the magazine is none of your concern< What a joke eric, you admit you aren't providing copies to people who have them coming in the above statement. I think fraud concerns everyone on this list when there are questionable dealings. I saw a number of posts stating that after paying for their magazines you had not shipped them for months. A number had not even received their copies. That is what they said. Not me. I just got a couple of emails saying they still have not received their copies yet. That should concern everyone on this list if you are still not providing something that has been paid for I would suggest that if someone has not received their copy, and if the magazine is sent in the mail, and if you paid for your copies in the mail, to file a complaint with your post office, as they are always interested in fly by night outfits using the mail for questionable means. Aren't you also being a hypocrite by complaining about Mike's post being < off topic, then slamming me publicly with something completely < irrelevant to the topic at hand simply to save face < Mike's comments were off topic to the theme of this list. The issues about your magazine while not related to the original post were warranted, as soon as you tried to control my simple post. Going back over your posts, I see you do this. I feel there are a lot of people wanting this brought up so why not here since you seem to think you are so much better than the rest of us eric. I'm sure you don't want me to respond to this publicly but since you asked for it here it is. Your right I have not cared for the way you have handled yourself on the list. Tried to pull people off here to your site. You are a control freak. You think you can shut people up by posting private messages. You remind me of a spoiled little brat that will do what ever they can to get their way. I usually don't send an email unless I mean it. I have been quite honest while you are trying to sweep the issues of your magazine away and call me dishonest. It is you who are not being honest with people who have paid you money for your magazine and I think that speak volumes. I am sure you will try to use every word against me as an attempt to control as you always do. Be advised that I will hold you to things you say or put in my mouth on this list. I deleted the posts to save bandwidth and people can easily go and read the thread post by post. They don't have to do that in our posts but forgot you are trying to control again when nothing disingenuous was meant by that at all and can't see that it was a big deal. I often clean up long threads and address the post I am responding to. We don't need the thread repeated with every response to a post. Go back to the archive and you will see that I do this. Perhaps you are trying to smokescreen the real issues here.

Seems rather shallow and small of you to point that out. You are accusing me of being arrogant? That's funny. Aren't you being rather arrogant yourself by implying you've been here longer and know better than me the ways and working of this niche we call the meteorite world? That is pretty conceited if you ask me. But what the heck do I know? I'm an inexperienced noob. As for your obvious and extremely petty dig on me and my magazine, I'm very tempted to write a long string of profane and quite insulting words to you, but I think your own careless knee-jerk post does a much better job of showing your colors than anything I could write. Truthfully, how many people have or haven't (more have than have not) received the magazine is none of your concern, and completely irrelevant to this topic. But since you you felt the need to drag me and my magazine into a completely unrelated topic just to suit your personal and petty satisfaction to embarrass me somehow (which it doesn't by the way) I will say this ONE last time. Everyone will get every magazine they paid for. I promise that. I've always promised that and I've been keeping everyone updated on the progress of the magazine. If you personally are too self centered and lazy to go to my website and read what I've posted very publicly to everyone, then that's your problem, not mine. It has nothing to do with anyone else and goes to your own issue. You know nothing about what's going on, you're not a subscriber, you never have been, and you've made it clear you've been against my magazine from the start. You've never supported me in anything (not that you should), and obviously have always had some bone of personal contention with me for years Al. If you deny that you're not being truthful (I have past emails which prove your contempt for me), if you admit it, you simply prove your personal issue with me because much of your previous correspondence to me has had this same arrogant overtone. For you to bring my magazine into this unrelated topic shows EVERYONE reading this right now the kind of person you are Al, and that you care nothing of the magazine really, nor of my subscribers, but only are using it to embarrass me in some way. Basically a sucker punch when I wasn't looking or expecting it. Only cowards take sucker punches. Aren't you also being a hypocrite by complaining about Mike's post being off topic, then slamming me publicly with something completely irrelevant to the topic at hand simply to save face and take a cheap shot to gain some kind of personal satisfaction at my perceived embarrassment in your eyes, not realizing of course you're only making a fool out of yourself, and everyone here knows it. I would advise that you, starting right now, NOT respond to this publicly with any other false statements. Choose your next response very carefully, or do not respond at all, because I will use every word against you. Whatever Al... Regards, Eric P.S. Since you neglected to change the subject line of the thread, and deleted the thread posts before this one in a disingenuous way to focus the attention on me and my magazine, I've been considerate enough to repost the full thread [below] which you've attacked me in to show that your cheap and obviously personal and contemptuous attack was completely and utterly irrelevant to the topic that you were complaining about earlier.

I have compassion for my fellow man and all living things on this Earth and a deep respect for nature. What I don't like is insane old charlatans making statements designed to create chaos and generate publicity and revenue. Imagine the children in this situation. Mom and Dad suddenly go off the deep end listening to this self-proclaimed messenger of God. They sell off the house, quit their jobs, and drag the kids across the country in a mini-van with the word "Rapture" plastered all over it. At the end of the day, the child is now homeless and his parents have no means to properly care for him. That is child abuse and the old man who announced this "prophecy" should be brought up on criminal charges or hit with a civil suit. One cannot yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre, and one should not be allowed to maliciously disrupt the lives of countless families to the detriment of the children involved. I don't feel sorry for the gullible sheeple adults who fell for this nonsense, but their kids have no say in it. I have a problem with BS and I have never been afraid to call BS when I see it. The God of Moses will send the messiah like a thief in the night and none shall know the day of his arrival. I have read 3 translations of the Bible (also the Apocrypha) cover to cover, and most of the world's major holy books, including the Koran, the Bardo Thudo, the Bhagavad Gita, Book of the Mormon, the Classics of Confucianism, Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Satanic Bible (a joke and insult to the mind, but I had to read it to understand it), the Tanakh and the Torah, and I could go on. In all, I have digested about 2 dozen of the world's holiest books during my spiritual search. So I am not anti-religious. I am anti-BS and this recent rapture nonsense was exactly that - malicious BS designed to attract publicity and profit. Or, it was the delusional ramblings of a self-aggrandizer who should be medicated and placed in a treatment facility. I was baptized, took communion, attended Eucharist, and meditated in a Buddhist temple. I have also attended two Witches' Sabbats. I think you get my point. I don't mean to offend, and I often stick my foot into my mouth. And when I do offend, I always apologize and mean it. I like you Al, always have. And I don't want you pissed off at me, so I hope you can forgive my attempt at humor that started this. Jesus was one cool dude, full of love, compassion, and wisdom. I wish everyone could be like him - the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, nutjobs like Harold Camping hijack the message of Jesus for profit - and people like that should be firmly rebuked, IMO. I was going to send this to you privately, but since you called me out on the list, I am replying in public. But this will be my last post on the list about this and if you want to continue the discussion in private, we can. And I want to re-iterate, my apology to you is sincere. :) Best regards, MikeG - Galactic Stone& Ironworks - Meteorites& Amber (Michael Gilmer) Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Galactic-Stone-Ironworks/218849894809686 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 5/22/11, al mitt wrote: Mike, You posted twice on a subject that doesn't belong on this list. I am sure there are people on the list who are biting their tongues right now. Everyone has a right to believe what they want to and that includes you but when you put such posts on a list dedicated to meteorites you are just askin
