Re: [meteorite-list] What is Chladni's book on 18 meteoritefalls title?????? (Stuetz)
Yes he did, he tried also to find for Chladni the four of the five stones or irons of Miskolcz, which had fallen in 1559 and which were transported to the Vienna collection, but he was unable to locate them.

(Stuetz) Andreas Xavier Stütz changed his views about meteoritic fairy tales and lightning before he died. See my article on the Tabor meteorite in the May 2011 issue of Meteorite Magazine, which shows the change in his views based on the entries in the Catalogus Stützianus, Natural History Museum, Vienna. To my knowledge, my finding was previously unreported in the literature until it was published in Meteorite Magazine.

(Stuetz) Hi Shawn, the paper by Andreas Xaver Stuetz, you're looking for, was published in Born's Trebra's Bergbaukunde, second volume, 1790. You have it here online: http://kuerzer.de/shawnstuetz Page 398 - 409. In fact he reports there from the fall of Eichstädt, mentions the Pallas-Iron and gives at length a report about the fall of Hraschina - with eyewitness observations, in translating the report about the fall by Wolfgang Kukulyewich, vicar of Agram. Here and there he gives some ironic remarks. Stuetz is classifying these reports as fairy tales, closing the article with a lengthy explanation, that these stonesirons were formed by lightning. Best!

Hello Listers I am wondering if any of you history meteorite buffs by chance know the name of Chladni's book he wrote on 18 meteorites falls and if there might be an English pdf version floating around on the Internet or somewhere else? Also, I was trying to look for a copy of the paper titled On Some Stones Allegedly Fallen from the Heaven published in 1790 by Abbe Andreas Xavier Stutz which Chladni extensively quoted from when he was writing his book.

[meteorite-list] NASA Planning Group Takes Key Steps for Future Mars Exploration
April 13, 2012 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov RELEASE: 12-112 NASA PLANNING GROUP TAKES KEY STEPS FOR FUTURE MARS EXPLORATION WASHINGTON -- NASA's Mars Program Planning Group (MPPG), established to assist the agency in developing a new strategy for the exploration of the Red Planet, has begun analyzing options for future robotic missions and enlisting the assistance of scientists and engineers worldwide. NASA is reformulating the Mars Exploration Program to be responsive to high-priority science goals and the President's challenge of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s. We're moving quickly to develop options for future Mars exploration missions and pathways, said John Grunsfeld, an astrophysicist, five-time space shuttle astronaut and associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington. As part of this process, community involvement, including international, is essential for charting the new agency-wide strategy for our future Mars exploration efforts. Grunsfeld leads the agency-wide Mars program reformulation effort along with William Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for the Human Exploration and Operations Directorate, Chief Scientist Waleed Abdalati and Chief Technologist Mason Peck. In February, Grunsfeld named veteran aerospace engineer Orlando Figueroa to lead the MPPG. In March, the group established an initial draft framework of milestones and activities that will include options for missions and sequences bridging the objectives of NASA's science, human exploration and operations and technology. Starting today, the scientific and technical community across the globe can submit ideas and abstracts online as part of NASA's effort to seek out the best and the brightest ideas from researchers and engineers in planetary science. Selected abstracts will be presented during a workshop in June hosted by the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. The workshop will provide an open forum for presentation, discussion and consideration of concepts, options, capabilities and innovations to advance Mars exploration. These ideas will inform a strategy for exploration within available resources, beginning as early as 2018 and stretching into the next decade and beyond. Receiving input from our community is vital to energize the planning process, said Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters. We'll integrate inputs to ensure the next steps for the Mars Exploration Program will support science, as well as longer-term human exploration and technology goals. The new strategy also will be designed to maintain America's critical technical skills, developed over decades, to achieve the highest priority science and exploration objectives. NASA has a recognized track record of successful missions on Mars, and exploration of the planet is a priority for the agency. The rover Opportunity, which landed on Mars in 2004, is still operating well beyond its official mission of 90 days. There also are two NASA satellites, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Odyssey, orbiting Mars and returning unprecedented science data and images. In August, NASA will land the Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, on the planet's surface. This roving science laboratory will assess whether Mars was in the past or present an environment able to support life. In 2013, NASA will launch the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution orbiter, the first mission devoted to understanding the Martian upper atmosphere.

[meteorite-list] Colorado Mineral and Fossil Show - Plus - New TV Series
Way to go Ruben!! Since I was a kid, I've surrounded myself with stones...my dad and both grandfathers made and lost money in gold mining...I have at least one example of pretty much every mineral I've ever heard of...all flavors and colors. But it was meeting Bob Haag, the Indiana Jones of Meteorites and buying some sweet Canyon Diablo's from him that got me started collecting meteorites about 15 years ago at the Tucson Rock and Mineral Show...I even contemplated trying to beat Bob to the other chunk of the Ring Meteorite (in my dreams)... Then it was Geoffrey Notkin and Steve Arnold that got me pretty much crazy about meteorites on their incredible Meteorite Men series...I know what stamina it takes to keep up with a hungry TV series that needs to be fed new finds each week from around the world...I am in awe! They are truly mass media icons in their field; historic, whether they acknowledge it or not (applause goes here). Their work has to have drawn public attention and popularity to the purchase and ownership of the miracles that are meteorites. Those guys are good for business! But for me, it was Ruben Garcia's website, online videos and organizing the very successful Holbrook Hunt last year that have gotten me to happily drive hundreds of miles and spend lots of terrific wilderness weekends looking for hard stuff from the sky. I have now found three...and they're getting bigger...Mr. Meteorite ROCKS! I'll be watching your show, my friend!! And remember - Gore Vidal once said, Never miss an opportunity to have sex or be on television. Jonathan P.S. I hope they got you to do some on-camera close-up slight-of-hand magic...you're the best!!

[meteorite-list] OT: For the Geologists and Math Wizards!
Hi all! I have a question that relates to meteorites...sort of. If I have two minerals that are combined that have two different densities, could the bulk density ever be lower the density of the mineral with the lowest density? Examples (to make it easy) Mineral 1 = 3g/cc Mineral 2 = 15g/cc IOWs could I ever have a density lower than 3g/cc??? If yes, can I please see the math?
