Re: [meteorite-list] Marissa's meteorite hunt - day 1 report
Good morning, list. I just got home (4am) and am off to bed, but wanted to share the final tally: Marissa: 2 Debbie (aide): 2 Rogan: 4 Mike: 4 It was an amazing trip, 2 dense collection areas in 3 days, many pictures and videos to follow. A lifetime of memories is the most rewarding find. Zz Michael in so. Cal. On Sat, May 23, 2015 at 2:09 AM, Michael Mulgrew mikest...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, list.

Re: [meteorite-list] Marissa's meteorite hunt - day 1 report
Thanks, Mike. Congratulations to Marissa and 'her' team of hunters! That is awesome that she found her very first two meteorites and that the team as a whole found a great amount. This is truly a memorable moment for Marissa and those who hunted with her, and of course all of those who supported her dream! Way to go, Marissa!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Marissa's meteorite hunt - day 1 report
Hello, List! It will be a few days before all our pictures and stories make their way to the web, but in the mean time I at least wanted to link you all to the photos I tweeted from the field and provide a bit of narrative. I'm not sure how well twitter supports direct links to photos, but hopefully this will work: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFtEhcrVIAAdFrW.jpg:large Stewart Valley, Nevada. 30 minutes into the hunt and three people had already found meteorites, most importantly was Marissa with her first! This picture shows Rogan documenting his find, and Marissa and Autumn (Marissa's aide) checking out Marissa's find. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFtEhzJUEAAa2HS.jpg:large Marissa's first find, most probably a fragment of H6 chondrite. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFuU_u5UUAAPFqC.jpg:large Day 2, the California side of Stewart Valley. The forces that shaped the valley are displayed in the rock layers behind her, some bending all the way back on themselves. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFvlnSJUMAAKDJv.jpg:large Dinner after Day 2 hunt. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFyZj9xUIAA20ET.jpg:large Day 3, bubble chair loaded and heading to Stump Spring DCA. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFzNrVIVEAAAMp_.jpg:large It was a gorgeous day in the desert, temp was about 80*F/27*C, and a storm was playing in the mountains to our north. The rain would come down the range in huge sheets, only to evaporate away over the open desert. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFzexGIVEAAQoyR.jpg:large Lots to look at out at Stump Spring; the rocks, the sky, the mountains... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFzkkIcVEAALnmd.jpg:large To boldly go... Over Marissa's right shoulder is the storm phenomena I described above. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CF0Su4DUUAAVz8j.jpg:large After a few hours at Stump Spring we returned to StV to finish out Day 3. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CF07czfUsAAcGZM.jpg:large Dinner back at the hotel, we brought all our finds (except Debbie's two from day 1, they were in the hotel room, oops). Rogan's on the left, Marissa's in the middle (her second find has fusion crust along one edge, the fragments with crust are much less common at StV), mine on the right. I think Rogan may have posted some video on facebook already, but since I don't use it I couldn't tell you anything else. :) Happy hunting! Michael in so. Cal.
