Re: [meteorite-list] Is it just me, or does this Australian meteorite look like NWA?

[James via Meteorite-list]

Hi Mike and list
Also, I think I remember Pigick was several small stones not one mass.

Re: [meteorite-list] Is it just me, or does this Australian meteorite look like NWA?

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list]

I have to agree - I overlooked the obvious date, which is a few years
too early for NWA.

Still, this is an example of a stone not looking like what one would expect.

Best regards,

MikeG

Mike, based the year found and when first classified, I highly doubt that it is 
an NWA.

It may have been transported within Australia though.

The bulletin write-up for Pigick says the fragments were discovered in
a "wheat paddock" - are captive sand grains consistent with a "wheat

Could this be a possible case of a transported NWA, or are looks deceiving me?

[meteorite-list] PSI Scientists Study Surface Composition of Asteroid 2004 BL86 During Close Flyby of Earth

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

http://www.psi.edu/news/ceresopnav2

PSI Scientists Study Surface Composition of Asteroid 2004 BL86 During 
Close Flyby of Earth
Planetary Science Institute
Jan. 27, 2015
 
Tucson, Ariz. -- Planetary Science Institute researchers Vishnu Reddy 
and Driss Takir studied the surface composition of near-Earth asteroid 
2004 BL86 during its close flyby of Earth early this morning. 
 
Remotely operating the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (NASA IRTF) on 
Mauna Kea, Hawaii, Reddy and Takir studied infrared sunlight reflected 
off the asteroid to determine its composition. They were part of a team 
of astronomers from around the world studying this object.
 
"Our observations show that this asteroid has a spectrum similar to V-type 
asteroids," said Reddy. "V-type asteroids are basalt, similar in composition 
to lava flows we see in Hawaii. The principal source of V-type asteroids 
is thought to be ancient basin-forming impacts on the south pole of the 
large, main-belt asteroid (4) Vesta. These impacts gave rise to the Vesta 
asteroid family spanning the inner part of the main asteroid belt, and 
some of those fragments in turn were transported to Earth-crossing orbits."

Vesta was the first target of NASA Dawn mission.
 
Photometric and radar observations by other astronomers also showed that 
2004 BL86 is a binary asteroid, a system where two asteroids orbit their 
common center of mass. 2004 BL86 is a 300-meter diameter asteroid that 
made a close flyby of the Earth on Monday morning at a distance of 745,000 
miles. It is the closest flyby of a large asteroid for the next 200 years. 

The research was funded by NASA's Near-Earth Object Observations Program 
through NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

[meteorite-list] MRO HiRISE Images: January 28, 2015

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 28, 2015

o Gullies Old and New Near the Argyre Region
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038931_1355

  As gullies form on slopes, sediment can become deposited 
  to form lobe-shaped fans.

o Higher Terrain between Sinai and Solis Plana  
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038932_1635

  The area is riddled with faults and ridges that look like 
  uncovered magma dikes.

o Filled Crater and Scallops
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038967_1230

  These scallop formations might be possibly due to ground ice 
  sublimation.

o Pits in Hale Crater Ejecta
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039524_1445

  The pits visible here aren't impact craters. The material 
  they're embedded into is ejecta from a large crater called Hale.


All of the HiRISE images are archived here:

http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/

Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is 
online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is 
managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division 
of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA 
Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Lockheed 
Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is the prime contractor 
and built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the 
University of Arizona. Ball Aerospace and Technologies 
Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument.

[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update : Lunar Olivine Gabbro and CO3.2

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list]

Hi Bulletin Watchers,

There are two new approvals from the NWA DCA.  One is a lunar olivine
gabbro and the other is a CO3.2

Lunar (NWA 8727) : http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=61388

CO3.2 (NWA 8724) : http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=61387

Best regards and Happy Huntings,

Re: [meteorite-list] Nevada and Images of New Custom Special OperationVehicles

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

Thank you Paul and other List Members who emailed images of their meteorite 
hunting rigs.


Talk about cool, we had special ice water-cooled vests made with temperature 
controls and thermostats.  They circulate ice cold water through many tubes 
in the vest and around sealed ice packs that will last up to eight hours in 
120 degree plus temperatures.  These special vests with portable back pack 
cooling units will allow us to exit the vehicles and search on foot.  I got 
the idea from watching ambulance drivers using them on the side of the 
freeway in Las Vegas.  Also surgeons and race car drivers use them for 
comfort and safety.  A heatstroke is no joking matter and nether is Valley 
Fever which hopefully will be taken care of with replaceable cabin filters 
which were installed.


We tried to think of everything but as we all know, time in the field will 
prove otherwise.


Adam

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Gary Fujihara via Meteorite-list]

Aloha metlist denizens,

There are only two Hawaii meteorites. 1825 Honolulu and 1949 Palolo Valley. 
Meteorite hunting in Hawaii, particularly the Big Island can be an exercise in 
frustration because you are looking for little black rocks on an island made up 
of … big black rocks. lol

I think weʻre overdue for a fall. ;^)

I suspect there are a lot more finds out there, waiting to be found.
Especially here in the south... and in the west desert.

I count 225 New Mexico meteorites in the MetBull. That is 0.00185
meteorites per square mile.

If Kansas has 143 meteorites, then that is 0.00174 meteorites per square 
mile.


I think that puts the Land of Enchantment as the #1 meteorite state :) :)

[Carl Agee via Meteorite-list]

True, there are more Lone Star meteorites total than any other state,
but we were ranking by density of meteorites, and Texas' meteorite
density is a paltry 0.00113 per square mile.

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[J Sinclair via Meteorite-list]

Since the discussion is on State Rocks... Here's mine.
Not exactly meteorite related but Astronauts are mentioned.

"North Carolina designated granite ("the noble rock") as the official
state rock in 1979. High quality North Carolina granite is used as a
building material for both industrial and laboratory applications
where super-smooth surfaces are required.

North Carolina has an abundance of granite. When Robert Gilmer found
the “big white rock” on his newly purchased farm in Surry County in
1849, he was so angry that he insisted the seller reimburse part of
his money.

“The Rock” (as it’s known locally) became one of the first commercial
natural stone businesses in North Carolina and is now Mount Airy White
Granite Quarry, the largest open-face granite quarry in the world
(astronauts circling the earth can see it from space). Granite from
this quarry is gleaming, unblemished, and without seams to mar its
splendor."

The North Carolina State Gemstone is Emerald
Although rare and found in just a few locations, Our Emeralds can be
quite beautiful. It was a NC Emerald crystal that was featured on the
2008 Tucson Show poster when USA minerals were the feature at the main
show that year. The Houston Museum acquired that specimen. It's value
at that time was over $900,000.00

The North Carolina State Mineral is Gold
The first USA "Gold Rush' was in NC and started in 1799 when gold was
discovered here. The Bechtler brothers produced the first gold coins
in the new world with gold from NC. The Charlotte Mint opened in 1835
to mint gold coins with the gold found here.

http://goldfever.unctv.org/bechtler
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Gold_Rush

That's all for me on the subject of earth rocks for now.

305 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Texas"

And these meteorite finds/Falls come from different localities

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

I know of several dozen Nevada meteorites that have not been reported even 
though a few were found on private property.  It seems that most are not 
willing to report their finds these days especially since the BLM is trying 
to overregulate meteorites and public lands.  Remember, nothing found on 
public land can be used for commercial purposes without an unattainable 
permit.

I count 225 New Mexico meteorites in the MetBull. That is 0.00185
meteorites per square mile.

If Kansas has 143 meteorites, then that is 0.00174 meteorites per square 
mile.


I think that puts the Land of Enchantment as the #1 meteorite state :) :)

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Carl Agee via Meteorite-list]

I count 225 New Mexico meteorites in the MetBull. That is 0.00185
meteorites per square mile.

If Kansas has 143 meteorites, then that is 0.00174 meteorites per square mile.

I think that puts the Land of Enchantment as the #1 meteorite state :) :)

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Shawn Alan via Meteorite-list]

Hello Listers

I agree Brenham is be the best suited state meteorite Michael.
If NY was doing this, it would have to be Peekskill to be the state
rock.

Mendy I think the teacher was going off the info from  Meteoritical
Bulletin Database

Here are the results I gathered from there.

116 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Nevada"

130 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Arizona"

143 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Kansas"

[meteorite-list] Nevada and Images of New Custom Special Operation Vehicles

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

All this talk of  state rocks got me thinking,

Nevada should change its official mineral from silver to gold since it is 
the top producer of U.S. gold by far accounting for well over 80%.  Alaska 
is in a distant second place with around 9%.  Searchers have barely 
scratched the surface when it comes to meteorite hunting here in Nevada 
since you need a helicopter or some very serious four wheel drive to reach 
most areas.


And some ask why I moved to Nevada from Washington?   Beside brutal and 
excessive taxation in Washington State, Nevada is largely unexplored and has 
no income, inheritance, inventory, head or other outrageous taxes.  There 
are still signs stating, "Last chance for gas, nearest services over a 
hundred miles."  I have been to areas in Nevada where I have seen herds of 
Antelope and wild horses running around.  It was like being on a safari.  I 
have been to places where there are no signs of modern humans, the only 
trash being lithic scatter from early man knapping out tools for survival. 
You are almost guaranteed to find a meteorite with three major deserts in 
the state and the most dry lake beds anywhere!


I am preparing a major expedition this Spring with a brand-new search team 
that possesses the equipment to reach dry lake beds and other areas that 
once required a helicopter to get to.


Introducing, two brand-new Custom Special Operation Rubicons that met for 
the first time on Christmas day.  We had to wait months for U.S. only made 
parts to come out of backorder for the dealer to complete these two vehicles 
designed for hot desert conditions:

http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS1and2.jpg

http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS1and2-b.jpg

Dialing in the equipment and computers.  We had several rollover, tire 
pressure, traction control and uphill/downhill assist alarms going off in 
the computers.  We had to reprogram shift points, tire pressure threshold 
points and roll-over mitigation systems.  By the end of the day, the 
computers and most of the hardware was dialed in.  They are almost ready for 
prime-time meteorite and mineral hunting this Spring!


Roads, who needs roads?
http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS1and2-c.jpg

Where are we?  We have since learned how to use the multiple navigation 
computers and install -18 db satellite antenna boosters.  Getting lost when 
following uncharted animal trails is no joke!

http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS1and2-d.jpg

Three or four foot wash cliffs, no problem:
http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS2-a.jpg

Nothing Rock-Trac, Tru-Lock Lockers, Dana Axels, Sway Bar disconnect and 
traction control cant handle:

http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS2-b.jpg

A bit of articulation thanks to lift kits and special suspensions:
http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS2-c.jpg

Places that once took a helicopter to get to are now within our reach.  Just 
incase of an emergency or we are onto a hot find, there is a rooftop tent 
with ladder and annex that can accommodate five people.

http://themeteoritesite.com/adam/Jeep/SPLOPS1-a.jpg

We will keep you up to date as the super hot desert Nevada expedition 
unfolds,


Team Lunar Rock,

Adam

Michael, you are 100% correct. When I did the search on the MetBull, I
must have set the search up incorrectly and it showed both Arkansas
and Kansas.

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Mendy Ouzillou via Meteorite-list]

I'm just probably a "meanie", but I think this effort is misguided
though certainly better than making the state rock "limestone". The
children calculated that somehow, Kansas has more meteorites per
square mile (not sure if finds, falls, or hits) than anywhere else in
the US (if finds then sorry Arizona and Nevada). I am happy to see
that calculations were done though disappointed that their teacher did
not better guide their efforts. Finally, the picture in the article is
clearly of a beautiful Sikhote Alin. I wonder how well that will go
over with the state legislators. Maybe Cabin Creek would have been a
better choice. :-)

SHAWNEE, Kan. – A group of local middle school students are lobbying
to change state history. The students with Monticello Trails Middle
School, which is part of the De Soto School District, are headed to
Topeka to argue for an official state rock.

Chris Sprenger, an 8th grade student at the school, is determined to
make the meteorite the official Kansas state rock.

“The meteorite really has a connection with Kansas that it really
doesn’t have with any of the other states in the U.S.,” Sprenger
said.

Sprenger and more than 100 other students in the district pitched the
bill to Representative Brett Hildabrand.

Lobbying for a state rock has challenged the students across the board.
In social studies they’ve learned how bills are passed, in science
they’ve learned about geology and rocks and in communication arts
they’ve spent hours working on their proposal essays.
