[meteorite-list] Stone fragment from XinJiang Crater is officially confirmed not a meteorite!
Hi Listees, Today I got the info from Dr. Zhao Xuchao (PhD from IGGCAS, MetSoc member) that the stone fragments collected near the Xinjiang crater (formly called fallen on July 31th), have confirmed not the meteorite by Professor Lin Yangting (IGGCAS, member of the Nomenclature Committee). The tested samples at IGGCAS are provided by an amateur meteorite enthusiast named Rex who claimed had found CO Carbonaceous Chondrite in this crater several days earlier on a videos, but actually the samples are burnt clay or limestone with dark crust. News reports regarding this event several days earlier also commented that Zhang Baolin from Beijing Planetarium claimed he got a donation from a local collector which is an achondrite meteorite, and the truth is Zhang Baolin got a HED achondrite slice from a collector who is in Urumuqi (over a thousand kilo-meters from the crater), and the HED slice from the news picture looks like a NWA. Now, we can say, as some of our listees had pointed out earlier, the crater is not caused by a crashed meteorite. Regards!

[meteorite-list] Munich Mineral Show 2013/ Friday Evening Party
Hi list, I´d like to inform all meteorite enthusiasts visiting the Munich Mineral Show 2013 on the annual Friday Evening Party scheduled Friday, 25 th October 2013. The event will be held at the traditional Bavarian restaurant: Altes Hackerhaus, Sendlinger Straße 14, 80331 Munich. The gathering will start at 7 p.m. The location is simple to reach: Coming from the Mineral show enter the subway line U2 at the mineral fair heading to Feldmoching. Disembark at the station Sendlinger Tor, take the exit to Sendlinger Straße and follow the Sendlinger street 5 minutes walking. Soon, on your left side, you´ll find the Hackerhaus. There you ask for the meteorite friends. This is one of the best old Bavarian locations for typical Bavarian food and beer in top quality. The famous Hacker-Pschorr dark beer comes from wooden barrels. I am sure, you´ll like it. For more information visit www.hackerhaus.de. It would be a pleasure to meet all the familiar and yet unfamiliar meteorite enthusiasts there. Please inform me in advance, should you plan to attend, so I can make reservations accordingly (e-mail: ra (at) koppelt.com). If we will become a sufficiently large group, I´ll be able to get a nice exclusive room.

It was obvious from the moment I saw it. Like fake lions in the zoos, fake artifacts in the museums, now China is experiencing fake meteorite boom.

[meteorite-list] Beni M'Hira, la météorite oubliée / Beni M'Hira, the Forgotten Meteorite
Hello All, Since there are now 4 Beni M'Hira meteorites in my collection (two veined slices, two slices with heavily shocked melt areas), I thought it was a good idea to purchase the booklet (70-pages) confrère Pierre-Marie, Fabien and Marie published recently. It is written in French, which some of us don't speak but still I can definitely recommend it. It is well illustrated (lots of beautiful in-situ photos, close-ups), it is fun to read and it is a textbook example of painstaking documentation work = coordinates of their finds, date of find, mass, finder, complete individual, broken piece, fragment, etc. Thanks to the authors and to all those who have contributed to making it what it is: a must-have!

[meteorite-list] AD - New Meteorites, Etched Canyon Diablo, Tissint, Gemmy LDG, and many more.
Hi Listees and Collectors, I have some really nice new specimens to announce this week. But first, a quick note - you may have noticed that the categories on the main menu of my website have been slightly re-arranged. I did this to improve navigation and make the ordering of the categories less arbitrary. This change should be seamless, but a few links may have become broken in the process. If you run across a broken link, just try typing in the name of the specimen into the search box on the website and hit enter - that should help you find the broken link item. As always, use the coupon code metlist at checkout for 20% off all of your purchases. :) New Meteorite Specimens : Canyon Diablo (etched iron endcut, 7.9g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/canyon-diablo--classic-iron-meteorite-stable-etched-endcut-79g Canyon Diablo (etched slice, 7.25g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/canyon-diablo--classic-iron-meteorite-stable-etched-slice-725g Canyon Diablo (etched slice, 5.82g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/canyon-diablo--classic-iron-meteorite-stable-etched-slice-582g Canyon Diablo (etched endcut, 3.8g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/canyon-diablo--classic-iron-meteorite-stable-etched-endcut-38g Canyon Diablo (etched slice, 2.99g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/canyon-diablo--classic-iron-meteorite-stable-etched-slice-299g Gold Basin (L4 chondrite, 2.67g fragment) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/gold-basin-meteorite-as-found-fragment-from-strewnfield-267g Nantan (iron shale, 5.1g fragment) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nantan-famous-chinese-iron-meteorite-fall-shale-fragment-51g Nantan (polished iron nugget, 10.5g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nantan--famous-chinese-iron-meteorite-fall-polished-crystal-105g New Minerals and Non-Meteorites : Malachite (rough slab, 181g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/malachite--banded-rough-green-slab-ready-for-cutting-181g Hematite (ring of polished pieces) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/hematite-ring--polished-black-hematite-beads-fashioned-into-a-ring Emerald (polished crystals in matrix, 4.19g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/emerald--polished-emerald-matrix-rock-with-emerald-crystals-419g Copper (lot of 3 natural crystals) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/copper-crystals-rare-crystalline-form-copper-lot-of-3 Copper (lot of 3 natural nuggets) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/copper-nuggets--native-rough-copper-nuggets-lot-of-3 Featured Specimens : Breja - (LL6? fall, fresh slice, 2.65g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/breja--may-2010-witnessed-fall-meteorite-probable-ll-type-big-slice-265g Gebel Kamil (iron ungrouped, as-found shrapnel, 113g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/gebel-kamil--fresh-egyptian-iron-meteorite-shrapnel-big-piece-113g Imilac (pallasite, polished slice, 2.32g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/imilac-pallasite--polished-translucent-slice-232g Indochinite (tektite, oriented teardrop with flowlines, 25g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/indochinite-teardrop--large-premium-specimen-with-flowlines-25g Libyan Desert Glass (tektite, exceptional piece, 35.6g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/libyan-desert-glass-big-gemmy-sculpted-individual-356g-178-cts Murchison (CM2 fall, fresh fragment, .814g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/murchison-witnessed-fall-carbonaceous-cm2-meteorite-fresh-fragment-814mg NWA 7122 (L4 breccia, slice, 10.2g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-7122-gorgeous-chondrule-filled-l4-breccia-big-slice-102g Sudbury (impact breccia ore nodule, slice, 79g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/sudbury-impact-crater--big-slab-of-exotic-ore-exotic-metal-nodule-79g Tissint (Martian Shergottite, fragment with crust and veins, .760g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/tissint--martian-shergottite-meteorite-fresh-fragment-with-crust-760mg Trinitite (atom bomb glass, fragments) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/trinitite-choice-large-fragments Whetstone Mountains (H5 fall, polished slice with crust, .88g) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/whetstone-mountains--rare-2009-arizona-fall-fresh-crusted-slice-880mg New Precious and Semi-Precious Stones : Amethyst - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/amethyst-enchanting-deep-purple-faceted-gemstone Moonstone - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/moonstone-gorgeous-semi-precious-polished-cabochon Ruby - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/moonstone-gorgeous-semi-precious-polished-cabochon Tourmaline - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/tourmaline-beautiful-green-faceted-gemstone More gems and cabs - http://www.galactic-stone.com/products/gemstones Best regards and have a great weekend!

[meteorite-list] Mars Rover Opportunity Update: August 8-13, 2013
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Snapping Pictures of the Martian Moons - sols 3392-3397, Aug. 08, 2013-Aug. 13, 2013: Opportunity is at the base of 'Solander Point' on the rim of Endeavour Crater. The rover is positioned in front of a large rock, called 'Tick Bush' for in-situ (contact) investigation with the instruments on the robotic arm. On Sol 3392 (Aug. 8, 2013), a Microscopic Imager (MI) mosaic was collected of Tick Bush, followed by the placement of the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) for multi-sol integration. On Sol 3396 (Aug. 12, 2013), the robotic arm repositioned the APXS with a small offset, documented by a Microscopic Imager finder frame image. Also on that sol, the rover took advantage of a celestial alignment and imaged the transit of both moons, Phobos and Deimos. A second Phobos transit was imaged on the next sol while the APXS continued to integrate on the rock target. As of Sol 3397 (Aug. 13, 2013), the solar array energy production was 376 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.695 and a solar array dust factor of 0.532. Total odometry is 23.73 miles (38.18 kilometers). __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
