[meteorite-list] Oriented Meteorites?
Hello Everyone, I have a question I'm sure can be answered here to my satisfaction. What defines an "Oriented meteorite"? I've noticed a trend starting where people have begun calling any meteorite with a rounded edge oriented or "slightly oriented". What truly defines an oriented meteorite? I have dozens of shields with radial flowlines and bullet shaped stones and irons, so I see orientation, but what's the true criteria? Thank you ahead for any replies.

Hello Listees, I have several large slices of Kentland and Glover Bluff I am selling at a flat cost of $150.00 and on a first come-first serve basis.

Re: [meteorite-list] Another free Webcast link for Asteroid Flyby 4179 Toutatis Pass Earth
Hi Don and fellow listees, Thanks for the information. As there seems to be little discussion on this event, I have a question that may or may not be common knowledge so excuse my ignorance if it is :-) Don't asteroids usually have smaller debris trailing or orbiting the larger bodies? Is Toutatis large enough and if so, is it passing close enough and is the gravitational force of the Earth strong enough to pull the smaller bodies toward us to possibility create meteorites? Just curious. Thanks, Brandon D. Don Merchant wrote: >Here is another free link Webcast of the asteroid >4179 Toutatis.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD: MUST SEE!! Kentland Melt and Glover Bluff Impactites
Hi Mike, I wish I could take credit, but these new specimens were all cut and prepared for me by Dan Wray, and what an amazing job he did!! They came out better then I could have hoped and I must say, it truly felt like Christmas unwrapping and seeing them for the first time. The melt rocks are spectacular. I was floored by the flowing matrix and metal. I've recovered a lot of material from the Kentland locality, but these were above and beyond.

Re: [meteorite-list] Orionoid micrometeorites?
Hi mike. Air quality standard put.in place in the last decade dictate that fly ash be trapped in the stack to eliminate this type of air polution. Even so, those particles which I quote "generally condense as spheroids 0.5-300nm round" are all but collected before they even leave the stack. Even if that was a good possibility, how does it explain the forms exhibited which essentially look like splashform-type tektites?

[meteorite-list] Breathtaking cut Glover Bluff Impactites !!!
Hello Everyone, I hope all had a good weekend. I had a chance this weekend to cut a few of very large rocks I collected at Glover Bluff a couple week ago and found myself scratching my head at what I saw. https://picasaweb.google.com/m/viewer?fgl=true&pli=1#album/103555700843987997365/5791407095561929521 Some were red/yellow/white polymict breccias with fragments.of quartzite answer chert, some where what looked like included sandstone melts and some of the combinations were quite breathtaking and complex. I wondered if anyone may be able to explain or take a stab at describing what I'm seeing and the process it may have took to create it. I only found a few small shatter cones, nothing like Kentland, but where that lacked the beautiful breccia made up for it. Any ideas? Has anyone seen this before or have Glover Bluff in their collection? I will have beautiful slices answer endcuts soon. If interested let me know. Trade of sale.

Re: [meteorite-list] Southwest Mystery Cloud (Looks like a meteor trail..?)
I think I remember reading something online today about it being a missile test... Or maybe someone's got the 1.21 gigawatts needed in their DeLorean to go back in time to answer Gary's question just before Mirko :-p Congrats Mirko and thank you Gary for the fun! Brandon D.

[meteorite-list] AD: SALE on Kentland Shattercones and Impactites!!
Original message Subject: [meteorite-list] AD: Limited time SALE Kentland Shattercones and Impactites From: b1dunov...@aol.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com CC: Happy Monday Everyone, I am running a sale on a few of my very nice Kentland Cones recovered earlier this year. Please have a look and see if there is something you might want to add to your collection. To mention a few of the current sales: 1. 5lbs Shattercone well developed with ordivician fossils visible- SALE $100 or equal trade 2. 15lbs Shattercone with horse-tails in multiple directions preserved in fresh white limestone- SALE $200 or equal trade 3. 2lb Shattercone with mulit-directional cones and horsetails on every side preserved in fresh white limestone- SALE $200 or equal trade 4. 6 /12lb Shattercone with large calcite inclusion and huge coral fossil- SALE $175 or equal trade 5. First sized shattercone with "dog tooth" Calcite crystal cluster- SALE $50 or equal trade In addtion to running sales, I also posted pictures of some large melt and breccia samples far to large for my current saw. The impact melt is amazing and even resembles a face!! They would make outstanding display pieces and have a plethura of diverse and intriguing features. Given I cannot currently cut them myself, I would like to make a plea to the forum. If anyone is willing to cut these three stones for me, I would offer to them not only a full slice of the material, but a shattercone from Kentland as well to complete their display. Please email me off list if interested. Pictures of the three needing to be cut as well as recent additons and running Sales can be viewed here: http://picasaweb.google.com/103555700843987997365 Make me an offer on anything. Trades for other impactites welcomed. Best Regards and have a nice weekend, Brandon D.

Hi Michael, When looking at my material keep in mind that prices are negotiable on some pieces. Just let me know which one you would like to discuss if that is the case and we will work something out. Thanks, Brandon D.
