[meteorite-list] AD: Website Update - Many New Specimens
Dear List, I am pleased to announce a website update with a Smörgåsbord of new material added. Of special note are a new CM2 and an R5 W0, which are currently under study. For the first time (that I know of), I am offering small baby individuals of this fresh R5. They all have beautiful fusion crust and there is one that even shows some orientation and bubbly crust. If anything, have a look for some good eye candy. The CM2 is also a beauty. Less than 6 grams is available after the wire saw. Most are complete slices and all specimens are under $100 per slice. Where else are you going to find such a nice complete slice of a desert CM2 for less than $100? http://historicmeteorites.com/HistoricMeteorites/Sales.html Be sure to hit refresh to make sure you are viewing current inventory. Thanks and have a great week!

Mike and Mike, Thanks for sharing those pictures. What's the saying... Can't get no better than that! The split of the stone was perfect. What a view of a fantastic chondrule!

[meteorite-list] In Memoriam: Tom Gehrels, 1925-2011
http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/resources/faculty/memoriam/gehrels.php In Memoriam: Tom Gehrels, 1925-2011 Professor Tom Gehrels joined the UA's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) in 1961 as an Associate Professor. He earned his B.S. in Physics and Astronomy from Leiden (Netherlands) University in 1951, and his Ph.D. in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the University of Chicago in 1956. While at Chicago, he worked with Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Gerard P. Kuiper (who founded LPL in 1960). Dr. Gehrels' distinguished science career featured many highlights. During the 1950s, Professor Gehrels pioneered the first photometric system of asteroids and discovered the opposition effect in the brightness of asteroids. In the 1960s, he pioneered wavelength dependence of polarization of stars and planets. His research interests then migrated to imaging photopolarimetry of Jupiter and Saturn, and Dr. Gehrels was named principal investigator for the Pioneer 10 and 11 Imaging Photopolarimeters, which discovered Saturn's F ring. In 1980, Tom Gehrels founded the Spacewatch Project, which uses telescopes on Kitt Peak to survey the sky for dangerous asteroids; he led the project until 1997. Professor Gehrels also founded the well known and well respected Space Science Series, still published by the University of Arizona Press. He served as general editor for the first 30 volumes of the series. At its start in the 1980s, the Space Science Series represented a new way of producing research textbooks. In 2007, Tom Gehrels was the recipient of the Harold Masursky Award, presented by the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences in recognition of meritorious service to planetary science. Professor Gehrels' recent research interests were in universal evolution. Each fall, he taught an undergraduate course for non-science majors at the University of Arizona and each spring, he presented a brief version of that course at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, India, where he was a lifetime Fellow.

Re: [meteorite-list] In Memoriam: Tom Gehrels, 1925-2011
Hello Listees, A great pioneer of space studies who in the 1960's left an indelible fingerprint on the direction of deeper space exploration and earlier on detecting asteroids. The Flying Dutchman is now riding his bicycle through the Solar System and exploring even further levels of the cosmos.

[meteorite-list] AD - New Thin-Sections
Hello, In between many thunderstorms, I managed to post about two dozen new Thin-Sections to my site: _http://www.impactika.com/TSlist.htm_ (http://www.impactika.com/TSlist.htm) And in honor of Dawn, that will soon tell us a whole lot more about Vesta, I posted a nice assortment of thin-sections of Howardite/Eucrite/Diogenite meteorites. And even if you do not collect thin-sections, do go take a look at all those beautiful pictures (Thank you, John!). And of course, let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Anne M.

fractal craters on .34 km thick Oregon lava flow plateaus -- Google Earth has 2 ground photos: Rich Murray 2011.07.12 Very complex lava flows exist 65 km from W rim by Summer Lake E to the steep edge of a long NS high lava plateau boundary. 42.833656 -119.887915 1.667 km el local top The fractal distribution of similar white mineral salt filled craters on top of this rumpled terrain occurs at various lava flow elevations, colors, and typography, indicating that they were formed at the same time, after many of the lava flows. Blasts of this magnitude probably trigger lava flows in susceptible terrains. The central dark area, about 13 km N-S, may be a record of several huge geoablative bursts, over a short period of time, complexly excavating, melting, and moving huge masses of lava layers already in place. As well as conventional lava flows, huge geoablative blasts, pyroclastic flows, and water floods may have all played parts in carving and layering this terrain. Can the sink hole in karst terrain paradigm be sustained in the face of this obvious, awesome evidence? It is high time to rejoice and enjoy this marvelous, generous scientific buffet. ground photo at 42.903627 -119.992330 1.334 km el Hwy 395, 342 m lower than steep lava plateau edge at 1.666 km el to the E All the different layers of lava flows along the hwy in the Oregon Outback.
