Re: [meteorite-list] New Fall in China further information
According to my source, this news missed most news sources. 100's of witnesses at lunch time saw this huge fireball and experts estimate hundreds of stones still on the ground, in the snow estimated from 5g to 20kg. Many specimens recovered in a 6km x 3km zone. I believe the largest recovered specimen is about 12.5kg I suspect we should be seeing some of this in the near future! Cheers!

Hi Jim and lists, I am sure that Jim's source must got the information from the media, and here is the original link for the news the source provided to Jim: http://tech.sina.com.cn/d/2012-02-22/14026755191.shtml Unfortunately the linked original news was in Chinese. If anyone here could translate the news especially the last 3 paragraphs to Jim, I will be appriciated, cause I don't have the time to do that at the moment. If Jim had seen the information and pictures I provided yesterday, I think Jim will change his mind regarding the news. The so called "expert" is that who claimed to have found the "translucent crystal things" in the mitrix of a meteorite fragment. Acturally, the tanslucent crystal things are qurtz and sand embeded in the concrete fragment,which were broken from the concrete road in Yehong village. And this big funny joke is just included in the above linked news,the third downcounted paragraph. I was in the falling area for two times and collected the information from over 50 witnesses who lived in the different 4 villages. All of the witnesses in the falling area have not seen the big fireball, instead they all heard the big resonating noises. However, there is some people who realy had seen the fireball explosion while hiking in the neighboring county, which is North East about 40 Kg from the falling area. Those Hiking people reported the event to Qinghai news media,and had been published. The so called expert Zhang Baolin confused the concept of "fragment" and "individual". What I had seen is until now there is only 1 individual had been collected,which is 12.5kg. I cannot say there is only one individual exist,but hundreds of individuals are not true! Best wishes!

Re: [meteorite-list] New Fall in China further information
Hi Wu! I had not seen this post you mention and your assumptions about my information source are not correct and the link you provided does not have the information I received. I do not know where the information I received from my source came from, other than China. However, I am glad you are sharing more information. As information comes in, many reports get twisted and pretty soon fact and fiction become one. It is my understanding that many stones have been recovered. 12.5kg, 10kg, 2- 5kg, 2.5kg and a 4.2kg. I do not know the originating source of this information. The news media in my area has not reported this event to the best of my knowledge and today is the first I had heard about it. A quick search of AP news did not indicate anything from China recently doing a search for 'meteor'. It was a quick non-advanced search. In regards to media, it has basically not been "breaking" news for what-ever reason. Has it been determined what kind of meteorites are being recovered? If you are hunting, I do hope you find more and I wish you good luck!

[meteorite-list] AD-NWA 7130 LL3, ebay auctions ending Tomorrow
Aloha mai kakou, The Big Kahuna would like to introduce a new unequilibrated chondrite NWA 7130 LL3. Two desert varnished stones weighing 242g were purchased from a Moroccan dealer in September 2011. The larger stone of 184g was cut by Montana Meteorite Laboratory and a sample submitted to Dr Tony Irving for analysis toward classification (the smaller 58g stone remains uncut). This is a beautiful representation of an unequilibrated chondrite, featuring stunning multicolor chondrules and clasts throughout the matrix. Full slices of this meteorite have a nice polished finish on one side and come in a quality labeled display box for protection and years of viewing pleasure. Scale cube is 1cm on each side and not included in the sale. http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/NWA7130.html ...

Re: [meteorite-list] New Fall in China further information
Hello Jim, I am glad you reply the massage so fast. I had been in the falling place from 16th to 18th Feb. The county's name is Huangzhong, and about 50 Kg northwest of Xining City, so I accomodateed in Xining during the night,and drive to the falling area every day. There are 4 bigger pieces landed in 4 villages.The biggest one is 12.5kg individual, landed on the mountain top of Xiaosigou village; the second bigger piece 7.5kg,which is broken while landing, in Baiya village; the third piece less than 5kg also broken,landed in in a villager's houseyard,Hergey village;the fourth one landed on the concrete road of Yehong village,broken into many pieces,and cannot calculate the exact weight,but according to the crater,should be no less than 2kg. If you are not sure about the source of your information, I wish you will trust me. I'd been there myself. In the following link, please find some pictures,which I took in the falling area.But the copyright is reserved,please do not use it without my permittion. http://www.flickr.com/photos/49390711@N03/?saved=1 The classification of the meteorite should be L5 or L6, shock stage should be around 3, but everything we have to wait the final resault by the scientists. To some extent, I feel this shower is a little bit like Suizhou shower in 1986, or Yanzhuang Shower in 1993. There are only bigger pieces been found,and havn't seen any smaller individuals until now. What I can say is this shower is not like Juancheng 1997 fall,which has so many small individuals. Regards! Wu Email:wyh...@163.com Hi Wu!

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Picture of the Day
As a big fan and collector of impact craters on meteorites, I'd enjoy hearing opinions on how they formed. In the MPOD, Bernd Pauli left the following comment:" according to Buchwald (1975), the shrapnel pieces with their ragged surfaces generally fell in the forward part of the fall ellipse and had no time to become flight-oriented but sufficient velocity to form large impact holes. When they broke up a second time upon impact with the ground, they formed these ragged, bombshell-like fragments." The key to determining how they formed (at least with flight oriented specimens) is the presence of fusion crust on the inside of the crater as discussed in http://www.meteorites.com.au/features/impactpits.html. Seems like shrapnel is more difficult to figure out. Thoughts and theories?

[meteorite-list] Steves unproven tektite theory by Steve lol!
I believe the features on most tektites are produced during formation and not by etching. As the molten material reaches the upper atmosphere they reach a verry cold environment with low atmospheric pressure. The skin of the material is outgassing while being exposed to sub zero temps. this outgassing while freezing causes the skin to crystalize in strange shapes. then they are smoothed off during re entry which reaches speeds over the speed of sound. when wet limestone mud freezes in winter it causes similar crystal formations. when you mash them down they look like the surface of tektites. the molten material travels up to 4 or 5 miles in a molten state where it is quenched by sub zero tempratures causing crystalization. then re heated during its fall back to earth. the deep sharp grooves made during cooling are rounded off during re melting. I have a teardrop with smooth glassy surface on one end with no etching. if the etching was terestrial the whole tektite would be etched.

[meteorite-list] Bediasites agree with Steve's unproven tektite theory
Hi list, Bediasites are well known for, among other things, these two traits: 1.Most Bediasites show ample evidence of abrasive transport and minor to severe smoothing of the surface. 2.Bediasites are found in/on the basal portion of the Manning unit of the Jackson formation in Texas. They are almost never encountered "off formation". The age of volcanic ash later/higher in the Manning is about one million years after Bediasite formation so the tektites were placed there rather soon after the event. The age of deposition of the Bediasites in the Manning would be about thirty five million years ago. Despite the passing of an immense amount of time etching has failed to significantly alter the surfaces of the tektites. U-grooves, V-grooves and navels all exist on stones with different amounts of ancient abrasion only slightly muting some and almost obliterating others. If they were in an environment conducive to etching after burial Bediasites should all be similar to the Besednice hedgehog Moldavites. The evidence suggests that little etching has occurred on most Bediasites after transport. These things taken together suggest that surface sculpture on Bediasites was a pre-existing condtion and was not developed by later etching. There is one small problem with this; the tektites did get some amount of time (less than one million years) to etch prior to their addition to the basal Manning sediments. While it is possible they were heavily etched in their earliest years and then abrasively transported, it is certain they did not etch significantly once buried.

I had not seen this post you mention and your assumptions about my information source are not correct and the link you provided does not have the information I received. I do not know where the information I received from my source came from, other than China. However, I am glad you are sharing more information. As information comes in, many reports get twisted and pretty soon fact and fiction become one. It is my understanding that many stones have been recovered. 12.5kg, 10kg, 2- 5kg, 2.5kg and a 4.2kg. I do not know the originating source of this information. The news media in my area has not reported this event to the best of my knowledge and today is the first I had heard about it. A quick search of AP news did not indicate anything from China recently doing a search for 'meteor'. It was a quick non-advanced search. In regards to media, it has basically not been "breaking" news for what-ever reason. Has it been determined what kind of meteorites are being recovered?

Re: [meteorite-list] Steves unproven tektite theory by Steve lol!
Hi all, Take a look at this website. http://www.edamgaard.dk/Copy%20of%20VietnamTektites%20edj.htm Cheers, Daniel Sutherland Sent from my iPhone On Feb 24, 2012, at 11:19 PM, "Dan Wray" wrote: > Steve, > > I am a tektite collector and I agree with you about the so called etching.

[meteorite-list] AD - NWA 6581 LL3.8, Buck Mountain 002, Franco, Tissint,
Hello List, I have a few ebay auctions ending in less than 24 hours that include NWA 6581, one of only 25 meteorites classified as LL 3.8 with a low tkw. I also have a couple SAW 005 irons from Franconia, one of which is nicely oriented with a pit. There's a couple complete individuals of Franco stones too. I also have a 43.6 g full slice of an unclassified, probable H chondrite. It is full of metal and shines like a diamond. I should also mention that I have some Tissint that isn't on ebay, if someone is interested in some small milligram pieces up to 1 gram, all uncrusted, let me know and we'll talk price, all offers considered. Thanks for looking and have a great day.
