Re: [meteorite-list] Roadside Hunting and Ownership

Re: [meteorite-list] Fusion Crust
HI Chris: Remember that most meteorites go into dark flight at 30 or so km above the earth. The atmosphere is very thin up there maybe 10 milibars and is probably similar to the Martian atmosphere near the surface. Of course the terminal velocity would be quite high and the meteorite would hit the ground at quite a high velocity!

[meteorite-list] New Rules for Meteorite Hunters Unveiled - Space.com
Hello Listers Found this article today, not sure if it has been posted but take a look if you like Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 eBay Store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633nyc/m.html? http://www.meteoritefalls.com/ New Rules for Meteorite Hunters Unveiled by Leonard David, SPACE.com’s Space Insider Columnist Date: 11 October 2012 Time: 07:01 AM ET It’s official! A fishing license for the sky. The Bureau of Land Management, under the U.S. Department of the Interior, has issued Instruction Memorandum No. 2012-182. It establishes policy governing the collection of meteorites found on public lands. The policy, issued Sept. 10, provides guidance to the BLM’s field office managers for administering the collection of meteorites on public lands in three "use categories," said Derrick Henry, a public affairs specialist for BLM in Washington, D.C. They are: * Casual collection of small quantities without a permit * Scientific and educational use by permit under the authority of the Antiquities Act * Commercial collection of meteorites through the issuance of land-use permits "The policy recognizes that there is interest in collecting meteorites by hobbyists … but it also is recognition that there are science and commercial interests as well," Henry told SPACE.com. Henry said the new policy builds upon the guiding authority of the 1976 Federal Lands Policy and Management Act. It is the first time the BLM has formally addressed rules regarding collection of meteorites on public lands, he added.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fusion Crust
Chris, Pat, and List, Judging by the heat shield design recently required by Curiosity, http://www.gizmag.com/curiosity-shield/23588/, I would say yes, a meteorite on the surface of Mars should display a fusion crust. "With a pressure of only 1/100th that of Earth’s, there’s too much of it to avoid burning up and not enough of it to slow down properly. When Curiosity's entry vehicle hits the Martian atmosphere at 13,200 mph (21,250 km/h) and suffers over 10 g’s in deceleration forces, it will be protected by the largest aeroshell ever built."

[meteorite-list] Ad: Special: NWA 7324 - EH Melt Rock
Dear list members, today I have something really special to offer, NWA 7324 (prov.), an EH melt rock. This is one of the rarest meteorite classes, probably rarer than Lunar and Martian meteorites. NWA 7324 is possibly the first EH melt rock which is available for the private collectors (??). According to the Meteoritical Bulletin, there are only 6 different EH melts rocks known with a weight of 496 g all together, and all came from Antarctica. NWA 7324 is classified by Dr. Anthony Irving. His first classification result was EL melt rock but he corrected it to EH melt rock, based on a high Si content in the metal and the presence of niningerite, a sulfide which is typical for EH chondrites. It will also be corrected in the meteoritical bulletin. NWA 7324 has a large amount of metallic iron, much more than any H-chondrite. The polished cut surfaces show very beautiful patterns of iron. The inside of the meteorite is fresh, the outside is slightly weathered and "sandblasted", and shows an interesting "weathering crust" on some places. Below is the description of NWA 7324: "Relatively fine grained aggregate of highly magnesian silicates and abundant metal and sulfides. Enstatite, some forsterite, ragged grains of metal, Cr-bearing troilite, niningerite and rare oldhamite. Portions of the matrix consist of silica-rich glass (K-bearing) containing tiny crystals of a very Si-rich mineral (silica or possibly sinoite)." NWA 7324 is particulary important for type collectors. Slices and part slices in different sizes are avalable at a collector friendly price of $30/g. http://www.sr-meteorites.de/specials/nwa7324/special-nwa7324.html Thanks for looking!

Re: [meteorite-list] Fusion Crust
Hi Chris, This is an interesting question. I would imagine for a meteorite to survive a landing on Mars, that it would have to slow down to a degree. The only mechanism is friction with the atmosphere. The extreme speed should be enough to create a plasma, and so a fusion crust should form. It might well be pretty thin, but i believe a crust would form.

[meteorite-list] Black Glass Holds First Mars Soil Sample on Earth (Tissint Meteorite)
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn22372-black-glass-holds-first-mars-soil-sample-on-earth.html Black glass holds first Mars soil sample on Earth by Joanna Carver New Scientist October 11, 2012 Veins of black glass in a meteorite that recently crashed in Morocco contain the first chemical traces of Martian soil brought to Earth. The find represents a rare chance to look closely at ancient surface conditions on Mars. Robots sent to Mars, such as NASA's Curiosity rover, only have limited capabilities to analyse the soil samples that they take. Until the launch of a sample-return mission, the most thorough way to study Martian rock is via meteorites that originated on Mars, says Hasnaa Chennaoui Aoudjehane of Hassan II University in Casablanca. In July 2011 people saw a fireball streak across the sky and smash into the Moroccan desert. The 7-kilogram meteorite, dubbed Tissint, broke apart as it fell, and both scientists and private collectors quickly retrieved the fragments. Initial analysis showed that the rock's chemical composition matches that of a type of Martian basalt. The meteorite was most likely thrown up from the planet about 700,000 years ago as the result of an asteroid impact. Pristine sample Tissint is only the fifth Martian meteorite collected promptly after falling to Earth. Most of the 90 or so known Mars rocks that have been found on Earth had been lying around for years. By contrast, the Tissint fragments should provide an unadulterated look at Mars's geology. "It's so fresh, such pristine material," says Aoudjehane. Her team found that the meteorite is laced with a large amount of bubbly black glass. It contains carbon and nitrogen isotopes that are characteristic of those found in Mars's atmosphere, something that has been seen in other Martian meteorites. More surprisingly, the glass contains relatively high amounts of light rare-earth elements not found in the rest of the meteorite, including an unusual ratio of cerium isotopes that indicates some of the cerium got oxidised. Conditions that would oxidise cerium are most likely to exist close to Mars's surface. The team says weakly acidic water may have leached rare-earth elements from Martian soil and deposited them in fractures in surface rocks. Heat from the asteroid impact that ejected Tissint melted the material in the fractures, which crystallised as it cooled to form the black glass. Further analysis of Tissint should reveal more details of such geochemical processes on Mars, rounding out our picture of the planet's past. "The history of Mars is interesting for us because it's related to the history of the Earth, and it's important to know how Mars was in the past and how it evolved with the times," says Aoudjehane.

[meteorite-list] Mars Rock Touched By NASA Curiosity Rover Offers Surprises
Oct. 11, 2012 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov Guy Webster / D.C. Agle Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. 818-354-5011 guy.webs...@jpl.nasa.gov a...@jpl.nasa.gov RELEASE: 12-359 MARS ROCK TOUCHED BY NASA CURIOSITY ROVER OFFERS SURPRISES PASADENA, Calif. -- The first Martian rock NASA's Curiosity rover has reached out to touch presents a more varied composition than expected from previous missions. The rock also resembles some unusual rocks from Earth's interior. The rover team used two instruments on Curiosity to study the chemical makeup of the football-size rock called "Jake Matijevic." The results support some surprising recent measurements and provide an example of why identifying rocks' composition is such a major emphasis of the mission. Rock compositions tell stories about unseen environments and planetary processes. "This rock is a close match in chemical composition to an unusual but well-known type of igneous rock found in many volcanic provinces on Earth," said Edward Stolper of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., who is a Curiosity co-investigator. "With only one Martian rock of this type, it is difficult to know whether the same processes were involved, but it is a reasonable place to start thinking about its origin." On Earth, rocks with composition like the Jake rock typically come from processes in the planet's mantle beneath the crust, from crystallization of relatively water-rich magma at elevated pressure. Jake was the first rock analyzed by the rover's arm-mounted Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) instrument and about the thirtieth rock examined by the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument. Two penny-size spots on Jake were analyzed Sept. 22 by the rover's improved and faster version of earlier APXS devices on all previous Mars rovers, which have examined hundreds of rocks. That information has provided scientists a library of comparisons for what Curiosity sees. "Jake is kind of an odd Martian rock," said APXS Principal Investigator Ralf Gellert of the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. "It's high in elements consistent with the mineral feldspar, and low in magnesium and iron." ChemCam found unique compositions at each of 14 target points on the rock, hitting different mineral grains within it. "ChemCam had been seeing compositions suggestive of feldspar since August, and we're getting closer to confirming that now with APXS data, although there are additional tests to be done," said ChemCam Principal Investigator Roger Wiens of Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Examination of Jake included the first comparison on Mars between APXS results and results from checking the same rock with ChemCam, which shoots laser pulses from the top of the rover's mast. The wealth of information from the two instruments checking chemical elements in the same rock is just a preview. Curiosity also carries analytical laboratories inside the rover to provide other composition information about powder samples from rocks and soil. The mission is progressing toward getting the first soil sample into those analytical instruments during a "sol" or Martian day. "Yestersol, we used Curiosity's first perfectly scooped sample for cleaning the interior surfaces of our 150-micron sample-processing chambers. It's our version of a Martian carwash," said Chris Roumeliotis, lead turret rover planner at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. Before proceeding, the team carefully studied the material for scooping at a sandy patch called "Rocknest," where Curiosity is spending about three weeks. "That first sample was perfect, just the right particle-size distribution," said JPL's Luther Beegle, Curiosity sampling-system scientist. "We had a lot of steps to be sure it was safe to go through with the scooping and cleaning." Following the work at Rocknest, the rover team plans to drive Curiosity about 100 yards eastward and select a rock in that area as the first target for using the drill. During a two-year prime mission, researchers will use Curiosity's 10 instruments to assess whether the study area ever has offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.

If anyone wants the tip, email me off list. --AL Mitterling Mitterling Meteorites Quoting jason utas : Helo Brian, All, Yep, it's John Bryan Scarborough. And those aren't the only catch of the day -- I can see only the top and right edges of this slice, but they're desert-varnished. No fusion crust. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LA-CRIOLLA-L6-METEORITE-23-5g-CRUSTED-FULL-SLICE-WITNESSED-1-6-1985-RIKER-BOX-/271075445904?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1d5b0c90 I'd guess NWA. It's a shame, but this material will probably resurface later from credible sources. Folks don't seem to be learning. Regards, Jason From: Brian Burrer Date: Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 12:02 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Questionable Bediasites on ebay To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Greetings list, I have noted a couple of recent ebay listings for Bediasite that appear fraudulent. They look like Indochinites. I contacted the seller, "lonestar*meteorites", to ask for more images of his Bediasite inventory during the first listing. This query was met with anger. Now a second listing has appeared and this stone also has surface morphology consistant with Indochinites and inconsistant with Bediasites. I would not feel comfortable making purchases from this seller.
