However I have right here a slice of Brenham about a foot across, it came from an old collection and it was cut/polished by Al Lang some 20 years ago, there is no varnish, nothing on it, and not a speck of rust. I know Colorado is relatively dry, but it was in a much more humid area before coming here. Same thing with a large end-cut of Brahin, from that same old collection, again no varnish or other protection and again, no rust. I wonder if the initial care it received right from the discovery does not make a much bigger difference than we usually think. For instance I have had slices of Fukang, some rusted quickly, some never did. Same thing with Chinga, Montdieu, Admire. And they were all kept here under the same condition. The only thing ever used on them (and not all of them) is Bill Mason's spray. Any other ideas? Anne M.

Hello all,
I usually stay away from these protracted discussions and am quite happy
to lurk on the list. A lot of good, qualified people discussing a topic I
truly enjoy: meteorites.
Now, I am not interested in sparring with anyone. I just published an
article in the Montreal Gazette debunking UFOs; you could substitute UFOS
for anything else in the ever widening field of pseudoscience and my
article would remain essentially the same. So anyone eager for my views
can readily look the article up.
However, my computer has recently been invaded by an avalanche of emails
from this list that has *nothing* to do with meteorites or science. The
basic problem is that pseudoscience is like a religion; no amount of
science will ever convince its proponents. So I usually don't bother;
ignorance is bliss, as they say. So those who believe in dowsing,
divining rods and whatever other contraption, feel free to search with
them. Think you can find meteorites, gold, diamonds, water, Jimmy Hoffa
with a stick ? Go for it ! That is your business; I'm just not
interested.
So, could we get back to the science of meteorites, please ?
Cheers
Andre

Hello all
[meteorite-list] Anne Black IMCA (was NWA 6292 2.110 gram)
Hi Martin, Thank you for expressing so well what I beleive many of us (IMCA and non-IMCA members alike) feel about Anne and IMCA. I have known Anne (via email and phone) for several years and feel we have become good friends. She has always been very helpful to me, answering questions and connecting me with people that could offer assistance in a project I am researching. She and I (and Norbert Classen as well) have had a number of email exchanges about meteorites and also non-meteorite related issues. When I happened to mention to Anne that I was going to do a meteorite presentation at the local middle school, she immediately offerered to donate a book to the class! For reasons unknown to me, the list occasionally sees someone go off about IMCA and how corrupt it is. I've been a member for several years and have never seen any evidence of anything that was dishonest on the part of any IMCA board person or member. I have seen several occasions where people made accusations against IMCA that are unfounded (and often shown to be unfounded by Anne) but , oddly enough, the accusers never apologize (at least publically) when shown that their comments are simply not true . I am proud to consider Anne Norbert my friends and I am proud to be a member of IMCA. If people choose not to join, that is their right. They do not have the right to slander or libel good people based on stories they are told off list.

Neither you, Barry. Of course everyone is free to express his opinion, but the form it happened in, is not acceptable. Here you have the list archives: http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html There you will find not a single posting by Anne, where she would have insulted any person. And certainly Dr.Jambon feels not insulted by her. On contrary, in a silly brawl about possible pairings of stones, silly, because they still are in the totally normal process of classification - caused by the impatience of some list-members, she called on the list-members to do that, what one could expect from any mature meteorite collector, to demonstrate the patience necessary and to wait until the results of the analyses will be ready. And furthermore she got committed to exchange samples of the questioned stones, between the scientists involved in the classification processes, which in the end now seems to work, so that the matter can be solved by scientific criteria to the full satisfaction of all interested in that question. Ann Black has made of a chance for a legitimate I tell you Barry, what Anne has made. As co-founder of the IMCA she made the meteoritic world a safer place for everyone, also for you, introducing new standards into the meteorite trade, which got more and more widely accepted. And she created with IMCA a contact point for conflict resolution for participants in meteoritics and a place for advice in meteoritic questions and a source of information about meteorites. And that open to everyone and that free of charge for everyone. And like the other founders of IMCA, she did this in thousands of working-hours absolutely unpaid. That is certainly more, than to type an imprudent mail in the head of a moment - lock, stock and barrel condemning everything, what one even doesn't know, and to attack with inacceptable wordings a person, to whom the meteorite community owes respect and gratitude for that, what she has achieved for that community. Everyone is free to dislike and to criticize IMCA, but I think if that's done in public, one should try to stick to facts and should abstain from personal decrials. I'm sure, that when you'll have slept on it, you'll think similarly about that.

[meteorite-list] Future Planetary Collision?
Hi List, Maybe a bit off topic although lots of meteoroids would be created. A French researcher says we may have a collision with Venus or Mars in 3.5 billion years. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2009-06/11/content_8271159.htm Best regards, Charley Well, squids don't work.

Re: [meteorite-list] Future Planetary Collision?
Hi Sterling, Thanks for the links and also all the information you provided. The movie is astounding to say the least but even more amazing to me is the spooky part about the (non-official) resonance between Venus and The Earth. Wow! Thank you very much for the in depth explanation-I'm sure it took you a lot of time and trouble to put it together and I really appreciate the information. I learn a lot from this list! Best regards, Charley Well, squids don't work. Hey! Let's try elephants ! Hannibal Sterling K. Webb wrote: Hi, Charley, List, I'd just spotted the same press release (it turns out) on Space.com: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/090610-planets-colllide.html The wobbly behavior of the Inner Solar System is not a new discovery. Here's a movie of the inner solar system's actual orbital evolution over the last 3,000,000 years: http://muller.lbl.gov/pages/innerplanets.html It can be downloaded directly from here: http://muller.lbl.gov/images/inner.mov The movie that you can view or download from this page is about 12 Mbytes long, and in .mov format. I used QuickTime Player (.mov is its native format) because you can step through it frame by frame (right/left arrows). Real Player and Windows Media Player (10) will also play it. You can open it in a browser window if you have the Quick Time plugin (takes a bit to download). The scale of the animation is not exaggerated or amplified. If you could sit in space and watch the inner solar system trace each orbit with a visible line, this is what you'd see. The units on the edges of the background plane are AU's. The site rather modestly says, Even if you are an expert, you may be surprised at what you see! Drunk drivers at NASCAR track would be a good title, if you pasted in some little cartoon racers with sponsor patches. Is this the renowned stability of the solar system we hear so much about? And, of course, it IS stable. Nothing has gone wrong in the last three million years nor for a long time before that (or has it?). Still, everything just wobbles like crazy... Currently, Venus can approach as close as 24.7 million miles and Mars as close as 34.7 million miles, but it would seem that in the past (and future too) their close approaches could be as near as roughly half that distance. I found this movie to be utterly fascinating (could be just me). After a few times through it, I would concentrate on just watching one planet at a time: Mercury slides back and forth like it was shifting the Sun from one elliptical focus point to the other; Mars' orbit expands and contracts; Venus and the Earth pull up close and flirt with resonance lock; they all rock back and forth. Venus is the one that worries me. The orbit of Venus has peculiarities, too. Venus's year is 224.7 Earth days. Venus's day is 243.01 Earth days. But because Venus's axial rotation is backward measured against the Sun and stars, the Venusian solar day is only 116.75 Earth days long. Of course, we could just as well not describe Venus's rotation as backward, but just consider that Venus rotates normally but with its axis turned completely upside-down, by 177.4 degrees! However you look at it, Venus is the only body of any size in the solar system to rotate backward. If you regard normal rotation as required, as it is, by most theories of solar system formation, then you have to invoke a Big Whack to turn Venus upside-down! That would have to be one heck of a whack, too. The energy transfer would be so great it's hard to imagine the planet could have survived it. So, there's another theory: that the solar tides on the thick atmosphere have braked Venus down to a standstill and are now spinning'er up in the backward direction. Myself, I think the atmospheric torque is just not big enough to do the job, and since what little we know about the surface of Venus suggests that there are virtually no winds at all at the surface (and you have to have wind to apply atmospheric torque to the surface), I think it's hooey. The math is complex and not entirely convincing. The position of Venus in the Earth's sky cycles in the time it takes Venus to lap the Earth in its orbit, 593.92 Earth days, the synodic period. Oddly, that period is almost 5 Venus days, to be exact, 5.0014 Venus days. This means, annoyingly, that when you're trying to radar map Venus from the Earth at the close approach when you have the highest resolution, you're looking at almost exactly the same patch of Venus you were looking at the last time! Over and over again. The synodic period of Venus, 593.92 Earth days, is almost exactly 8/5ths of an Earth year, so that every eight Earth years the positions of Earth and Venus line up very closely with only a tiny amount of drift in position from cycle to cycle. Every 152 Venus synodic cycles of 593.92 Earth days

To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Message-ID: 48596.10.250.10.1.1235974811.squir...@webmail.medscape.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi Folks, A few thoughts and a BIG thanks to Mike and his team regarding my first and only meteorite hunt this past Thursday. As I was reading on the list, early this past week, about everyone's adventures hunting in Texas I realized I had a day and a half off work at the end of the week. On a whim checked out Southwest's prices to Texas and saw to my surprise that I could get out there and back for about $200. It seemed like too great an opportunity to miss; a fresh U.S. fall! I was especially motivated by Mike's earlier observation that with ploughing imminent many of the stones not found in the near future will be gone forever. I e-mailed Mike Farmer and asked if I could join his team for a day to which he kindly responded, I'd welcome that. I arrived at the search site around 8:45 just as Mike Cottingham's son, Christopher, found a gorgeous oriented complete stone. Good omen, I thought! I was so psyched I launched into hunting without changing out of my street shoes, to the amusement of the pro's. Mike took me under his wing and gave me a quick tutorial and off I went, eyes to the ground. I was getting a picture from Mike as we walked about how they had gone about their hunt in the past ten days. We were in flat open fields with lots of clumps of taller grass with more open areas in between with shorter grass. Surely many fine stones were hidden way beyond sight within the taller clumps- no way to find them at this point. The stones were there, though, some peeping through the shorter grass, some just sitting on the surface. I saw Mike Farmer, Greg Hupe, and McCartney Taylor find stones. The stones were, however, very widely dispersed. I'd say the ratio of pitch-black, roughly meteorite shaped 30 gram hunks of fresh animal dung to meteorites was about 1000 to one. The four finds I witnessed were hundreds of yards apart from each other. McCartney showed me how he grids an area adjacent to a find to try to systematically look for other pieces(many thanks, MT). I walked continuously except for a couple of 5 minute water breaks from about 8:45 am until sunset. I'm sure I walked at least 20 miles. Alas no stone for me! Mike was kind enough to stick with me and keep looking as the sun was setting. He was rewarded by finding a stone in the dying light( I think his third of the day). It was really disappointing not to find my own stone but it was an amazing experience nonetheless. I had talked to several 'pro's' who had had days with zero meteorites found so I knew up front that getting 'skunked' was a possibility. On the plus side, I got to meet Mike Cottingham and his son, Christopher, Eric Wichman and his wife, and Greg Hupe. McCartney and Robert Ward who I knew from Tucson were there in the field. At one point in the day, Mike, McCartney, Greg and I talked to the lady who owned the property and who was kind enough to give us permission to hunt there. She gave a great account of hearing a house-rattling explosion and going out to see a smoke cloud overhead with spirals extending from it. Overall a super educational experience. In the fading light I shook Mike's hand and thanked him for his generosity in letting me join them in the hunt for a day. I was sad not to have found one but felt the experience itself was well worth the effort and money spent. I would recommend it to anyone if there is a fall anywhere near you. I was shocked when Mike reached over and handed me a bag containing a 5.9 gram gorgeous fully crusted meteorite he had found earlier and said, Here, I can't let you leave here without a meteorite. I couldn't believe his generosity. As I told him in an email thanking him again, based on both the experience of hunting and the good heartedness of his gift, if bad times arrive and I have to sell off every other meteorite I own, that one will definitely stay with me. Best wishes to all, Jim Baxter p.s. I now really have a visceral understanding about pricing on these stones. In a strewnfield like this where they are small, well hidden, and widely dispersed a full days hard work may just yield a few grams and many days yield none. A realistic price would have to be at a minimum, to just break even, the cost of travel, lodging and vehicles divided by grams found. And here the denominator is small leading

[meteorite-list] Fireball over Ohio
Hi List, This morning, while driving to work, I saw a beautiful green fireball. Here are the details: Time: 6:23 a.m. ET My location: 40 deg, 25', 2.35 N , 82 deg, 46', 30.67 W (per Google Earth) I was westbound on Ohio 229 about 1 mile east of Marengo when I saw the fireball. The road appears to be trueeast-west where I was located (again per Google Earth) It came from my blind spot (from behind and to my right) and appeared to be traveling from Northeast to Southwest. I saw it for about 3 or 4 seconds before it quickly faded (there were no obstructions so it didn't go behind a tree or building etc.) It was approximately 25 deg high when it disappeared and about 5 degrees to the right of my direction of travel (or at an approximate heading of 275 deg). It was light green, very round, about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of the full moon and about 2/3 the brightness of the full moon. There were no sparks, trails or smoke but it was dark so if there was smoke I would not have been able to see it. The sky was clear and sunrise occurred about an hour after I saw the fireball. I have no idea if it was a meteor or space junk. Did anyone else see it? Best regards, Charley Well, squids don't work. Hey! Let's try elephants !

It was you who lifted us up and made it possible for us to get through without having to go through bankruptcy, end up homeless, end up living in shelters or worse. There really are no words to express our thanks to you all, but if there were words they would be something like this; I thank my God upon every rememberance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now Phil. 1:3. Now I know that not all who receive this are believers in Christ, but I will still keep you always in every prayer I make to my God, for your joy and health and for your fellowship in helping to carry us through our trials. Today I am cancer free, though I still struggle with the small things, like sitting down, riding in a car, digesting food properly, computing for any length of time and other physical challenges. I have had three major surgeries since the end of April so this is to be expected and to be endured. I plan to once again begin participating in the Metlist and I.M.C.A. as time allows me. I still have my work to do, most of which is today accomplished while lying down using a specially designed workspace, built by a friend in Vermont. We now live in New Hampshire [once again], close to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. My trips to and from Fletcher Allen in Burlington Vermont were too much for me and I had too many negative issues with that facility to continue there. Dartmouth is a fine facility with caring staff and ultra-competent surgeons and practitioners. My faith in them is far above that for Fletcher Allen in Vermont. So know that I am in good hands, recovering a bit each day, and will eventually return to near full functionality, perhaps within another year. Until then and beyond we will remain ever grateful to you all. With eternal gratitude we remain; Your Friends, Gary K. and C.J.

[meteorite-list] Powellsville Ohio
Hi Michael, According to Encyclopedia of Meteorites, A 4310 g stone was found ~40 cm underground by a man digging out a tree stump in his yard. I would think this would be the weight when it was found. Here's the link. http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/T_Meteoriteview.asp?key=37881 It appears that a couple of list members own pieces. Perhaps they have more info. Hope this helps. Best regards, Charley Well, squids don't work. Hey! Let's try elephants !

Hi McKinney, I bought a US Balance digital pocket scale on Amazon.com for about $10.00 last year. It weighs up to 350 grams in .1 gram increments. It is similar to this one: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-BACKLIGHT-BATTERIES-EXTREMELY-MANUFACTURER/dp/B000KVB64I/ref=pd_bxgy_hg_text_b This one is a bit more expensive ($16.99) but goes up to 600 grams. My scale came via Half-Baked Goods and was shipped promptly. If you want to look at all the scales, enter digital pocket scales and you will get a ton of hits. Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff, Great Calendar! I just ordered one-guess I won't be getting the Despair.com calendar this year. Best regards, Charley Well, squids don't work. Hey! Let's try elephants !

There's a different meteorite for each month from stones to irons. For anyone who's interested you can see it here: http://www.cafepress.com/meteorite.182689158 Anyhow, if there's enough interest this year I'll make another for 2009.
