Hi Pete, all, Actually I made a website where I started to upload my own books collection. But the idea is that anybody can share here their prints too. http://books.sv-meteorites.com Will need some time to finish with my books but can make a website working for everybody later if this idea will be interesting.

It would be nice if we had a central storage site where this type of historic data could be saved and easily shared. I've got the Encyclopedia Britannica Ninth Edition, 1890, kicking around here somewhere. I'll follow your lead and try to scan anything relevant and post it. I think aerolite, bolide, and pallasite entries in old publications would be interesting, too.

Re: [meteorite-list] Etching solution
Hello Richard, You can probably Google a specific polishing compound or powder and come up with safety information on that specific product without me going into the same detail here. Think about this. Typically, what do we normally use to sand with? We start out with ~180 grit sand paper and work up to maybe 1200 grit. I am guessing many stop at 400 or 600 grit. This is pretty fine stuff, right? Now think about the fine work needed to put samples under a microscope. How about compounds made up of very hard (Mohs 9+) metal particles or diamond compound or mixtures with 100,000 grit or even 150,000 grit! The particle size is so small, it can go into your body through your skin or lungs, etc just by handling it.

Another good topic...that goes along with etching meteorites is the polishing compounds used prior to etching. For example, a 1 micron polishing compound or mixture has it's own set of safety issues. The concern is absorption through the skin, etc! Most probably do not polish to that level But some do!

I'm a Certified Industrial Hygienist and a Certified Safety Professional and have been in the chemical health and safety field for more years than I care to admit. Before that, I used to work as an analytical chemist. There is a lot of information you have passed on to the list with good intent, but there are several assumptions that you are making that are not substantiated. However, I agree that the purpose of the list is not to get into a deep discussion of health and safety issues. Anyone who would like to do so can contact me off-list. But I do have a concern that many of the comments in the threads have been a bit too casual - that may be my interpretation or reading only - and if so I apologize. But we have identified three unfortunate experiences with nitric acid/ethanol since the discussion started - and I want to do my best to warn those of the potential hazards that are involved before someone gets hurt or has another unfortunate tale to post on the internet. I think we all have the same objective as far as that goes. One last item - you may want to calculate the percent composition of the 3 molar (normal) solution you are recommending and compare the figure to Bretherick's data for instability.

That's not what I wrote although it could be true I have no such reference to support the above. What I did write was: "Only Nickel chloride (a result of ferric chloride etching) is carcinogenic at levels 15 times lower than those produced from nitric acid etching." There is a huge difference between what you understood and what I actually wrote as threshhold toxicity levels don't necessarily equate to activity factors. This is because the body has dozens of competing homeostatic (metabolic, immune/allergic, etc.) processes that relate to detoxification and an imbalance occurs when that one single straw to many put on the camel breaks its back. The reference should be any MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), just check whichever one you have access to or dig up first. Toxicology, especially when it comes to carcinogens is so complex that I don't think anyone understands it, or they would already gotten a billion buck grant from the NIH by now. It just comes in many small pieces. I share your opinion that we should reference and I'm sorry if I just dumped all this information for discussion, but it was more useful that keeping i to myself. I've not found a reasonable layman's treatise anywhere on the subject so I figured the met list was as good as it gets without opening yet another research project to compete with the other ones I've got floundering. Anyway, the exposure limits I mention I believe are for lab rats approximating other mammals, like humans.

Re: [meteorite-list] Etching solution
If someone is aspiring for fourth place, and needs sacrificial material to practice on, I happen to have a very nice looking wrong:) Willing to trade a small chunk for a photograph or two of the results. Out of 'palm' sized slices until I get the main mass cut or knock another corner off. But have three smaller chunks in the 50 to 100 gram range that each have enough metal to try for false Neumann lines. Unless they were caused by his ultra precision sanding (mine ain't) last picture here suggests false Neumann lines may appear with a proper etch. http://alt-config.net/brandon-pics.html William On Saturday 28 January 2012, Galactic Stone & Ironworks wrote: > Hi List, > > Two of the three best etchers are on this List - Mike Miller and Mirko > Graul.

[meteorite-list] Sale Ad- Moapa Valley CM1
Hi List, I have just added a few new pictures of my Moapa Valley CM1 main mass and the remaining slice on my website. For those of you interested click on the link below. Moapa Valley is an exceedingly rare Carbonaceous Chondrite making it a world class specimen. It is the only CM1 found in the United States and second CM1 recovered outside the Antarctic. Moapa Valley is the only CM1 Carbonaceous Chondrite material available to the public. Trades will be considered for the main mass and remaining slice with Museum’s and Universities. Only 15 meteorites of this classification have been recovered world wide. NWA 4765 was found outside Antarctica by a Nomad in North West Africa, with a TKW of 19 grams. 13 of the CM1s were recovered by AMSMET ( Antarctic search for meteorites ) many of them paired. These meteorites were recovered from the following locations: Allan Hills, 1 stone 18 grams; Elephant Moraine, 1 stone 2.5 grams; La Paz Ice fields 5 stones 7.8, 1.99 ,1.8 , 0.8 ,1.7 total 14.9 grams; Mac Alpine Hills, 1 stone . 36 grams; Meteorite Hills, 3 stones 40.6, 15.7, 11.5 , total 67.2 grams; Miller Range, 1 stone 2.4 grams; Scott Glacier, 1 stone 27.6 gram . Total weight of 132.75 grams. None of the AMSMET meteorites will be available to the public.
