Re: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim 2008!
Sadly I won`t be able to make it to Ensisheim this year. :( I will surely miss all of the great times and experiences, but especially all of our friendly European collectors and dealers who have always welcomed us with open arms. Yes... especially my good friend Norbert Classen and his wife, who have graciously put up with me these last two years for a couple of days at his house. The cuckoo clock is still cu-ckooing! Have a good time everyone! Looking forward to many pics and stories! Dave From: Michael Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim 2008! To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Wednesday, June 4, 2008, 12:04 PM Hi everyone, I will be attending the fantastic Ensisheim meteorite show again this year, and the St Marie aux Mines mineral show the week after. I look forward to a couple of weeks in France and Germany, to escape the heat of Tucson! I will be displaying meteorites with Moritz Karl in Ensisheim, and perhaps some things with Hans in St Marie. I will not bring much, as I am not all that excited to work hard there, I prefer the eating and drinking part in France more than the working part:) If there is anything specific that all of my European customers want me to bring, please let me know now so that I can prepare the material. See you all in France in two weeks. Those of you who have never attended the Ensisheim show, you are really missing out, if at all possible it is a fine trip to make, and not all that expensive in that part of France. With Germany only about a 10 minute drive and Switzerland about 40 minutes, there are endless things to do there.

Re: [meteorite-list] Speck Issues - Reply to this subject
Hi Frank and all. This is a bit off the speck subject a bit, but still applies to the theory of breaking up specimens, that Frank and including myself really hate to see. Recently I sold a beautiful full slice of a meteorite on eBay, hoping to raise a little money for Tucson, and also so that some collector would enjoy it as much as I did, only to find out later, that the winning bidder broke up that beautiful slice into smaller pieces and was selling those on eBay. This really bummed myself out and also another collector who was thinking of bidding on it. I know that this meant that more collectors could have a piece of this meteorite, but some how just didn`t sit right with me, and had I known that that was going to happen, I wouldn`t have listed it at all, but I guess that is the chance we all take when selling personal collection pieces. Dave Hi Mike, I don't disagree with you and I'd trust both Blaine and you 100% to be selling what you say you are, but unfortunately, not all dealers are the same. The following is from another dealers site talking about a 0.62g, 0.60g and 1.12g thin part slices of Barbotan. he wrote: NOTE: these are the prices ONLY until one sells. Then there will be a 50% increase. When the second one sells, the third will be broken up and the price more than trippled. These are literally irrepalcable. March2, 2008 a piece of this sold on eBay for over $5,000.00 per gram. These are listed at bargain prices: I have no question that these aren't Barbotan, just hate seeing historical meteorites ending up as specks. It is kind of ironic that he should say These [pieces] are literally irreplacable and then proceed to pull out a hammer! I think the biggest potential for fraud would be for some non dealer on ebay selling (HYPOTHECIAL CASE): Have to sell my 20mg fragment of Mokoia, purchased a year ago from Mike Farmer, comes with his collection card. All the best, Frank --- Michael Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Guys, there is no problem here. You know, as a dealer who cuts and messes with thousands of meteorites per year, you end up with plenty of crumbs, dust, and specks. Please don't think that we are smashing these things with hammers in order to maximize profit! Specks are a byproduct of making a large piece into multiple pieces, not taking a .2 gram meteorite piece and turning it into 20 pieces, at least not on purpose. As far as buying these specks on ebay, you must indeed trust your dealer, someone like Blaine or myself, we make enough money not to need to waste time scamming people. If I say it is Mokoia, you can rest assured that it is not Allende fragments. If you buy from just anyone on ebay just because they say they have something, well, buyer beware. Michael Farmer --- Walter Branch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Frank, I could not agree more with you. Every word, every line. Remember when Blaine Reed brought out DAG 262? There were a few who looked at the specks and balked but because it was Blaine who was selling it, the pedigree was beyond reproach. This is not meant to be an indictment of Blaine. Quite the opposite. I understand the economic pressures of ever smaller pieces of meteorite selling for ever higher prices, but it seems the price-to-weight graph is almost U shaped, with more and more material ending up as smaller and smaller fragments.

Many people shopping ebay don't blink until the price reaches a $100 or more. So price/gram on a speck means nothing.

I was just wondering if anyone in the US saw last nights fly over of the space shuttle and the international space station that happened around 21:52 Northern Indiana time? It was quite amazing looking into the Northwest sky and seeing both of them emerge behind the trees and fly almost directly overhead.

[meteorite-list] Rosetta Stone Analogy
Sorry to intrude on your little discussion..., but me thinks that this topic should be discussed properly over a few beers in Ensisheim, although that might lead to more discussions! :) Dave ...sorry, should be DHOFAR 908, not NWA! Peter Peter Marmet wrote: Hello Norbert, Adam, Marcin and All, it seems I didn't make myself very clear. I have absolutely nothing against the term: This one is kind of a Rosetta Stone for this and this...or some sort of a Missing Link...or some kind of a Smoking Gun for...but what makes me feel similar as Marcin, was the following: The finders sold their NWA 908 for years under the name NWA 908...suddenly NWA 908 is THE(!)

Adam wrote: that displays two (2) lithologies ...Norbert wrote: displaying three (3) distinct lithologies Very interested to hear more about this unique meteorite... not very keen to hear more about what names are legal / honest / ethical and which are not...sorry, if I started this debate! Peter Norbert Classen wrote: Dear Marcin, I didn't use that term for marketing reasons, and it is not a synonym for Dhofar 908 in general but I just used it for the 81g main mass of Dhofar 908, displaying three distinct lithologies linking previous finds together. That's why I called it a Rosetta stone. Back in 2003 virtually nobody was willing to believe that e.g. Dhofar 489, and Dhofar 305 did belong to one and the same (ancient) fall. That's not the same thing as calling it Donald Duck, it's a linguistic ploy to express something of scientific meaning... Do you think Baker and Bizzaro used their analogy as a marketing ploy, or just because the liked the funny name? BTW, as to my knowledge neither Adam nor I did use the Rosetta stone analogy without making it very clear that we were talking about Dhofar 908, not in general, but in respect to a certain stone/fragment of Dhofar 908, and its special history/properties. And, as for the monetary value of certain specimens: do you think that a specimen of, let's say normal Zagami will demand the same resale price as a specimen with dual lithologies, including the DML (dark mottled lithology) of Zagami? You are correct, the meteorite will stay the same, but I fear you won't get the latter one, cheap. And: if you know of a source who sells dual-lith Zagami at the price of normal Zagami, just give me a call :-) My 3 lithologies, Norbert -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von PolandMET Gesendet: Montag, 4.

[meteorite-list] Dhofar 908 3-lithology photo
Sorry to intrude on your discussion once again on Dho 908 and also changing the subject a bit, but I think one of my favorite lunar slices has to be NWA that Norbert has on his web site. Seems to me from my uneducated eye, that this particular lunar slice has more than one lithologies, but I`m probably wrong. Can we get an explanation on this one to extend this fascinating subject a while longer and possibly a photo for everyone to see? Dave Hi David, and All, Stephan's photo shows another section through the 81 main mass of Dhofar 908, and it's actually one of the very few pieces that has all three major lithologies. The three lithologies are spatially separated in the main mass, with one end consisting mostly of a clast poor, brownish IMB similar to Dhofar 305, while the middle of the stone mainly consists of a clast rich IMB with large anorthositic and other lithic fragments as can be seen in the lower part of my favourite slice, and which is similar to Dhofar 306, and other pairings: http://www.meteoris.de/img/ncc-lun/Dho908-2.54g.JPG The upper, dark part seems to be a more mature regolith breccia, something that is consistent with cosmogenic nuclides studies by Kuni Nishiizumi. Speaking of that, this is a very old meteorite, and only one lunar meteorite has a even higher terrestrial age, Dhofar 025 pairings. According to Kuni Nishiizumi's studies, Dhofar 908 has a terrestrial age of approximately 350,000 years, placing its fall into lower palaeolithic times, and the reign of Homo erectus rather than Homo sapiens. Back to Stephan's slice: it has another special feature to the lower right - that large round redish clast seems to be a troctolite, and it's most similar to large clasts in Dhofar 310. I won't call this a fourth lithology because it's just a clast, but it's rather fascinating, though. Nice! All the best, Norbert -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Hello All, This List is amazing at times. I asked if there was a photo from the Rosetta Stone of Dhofar 908 showing the 3 lithologies, and Stephan Kambach very kindly sent me one. It's a beauty too!

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson hotels
Greetings. I have a room at The Red Roof Inn on West Ina for $100.00 a night, very clean, and my car rental is $150.00 for the four days that I will be in Tucson. If you want a half way decent rate, you have to reserve early. You can`t wait till the last minute and you don`t have to reserve a room downtown. Very easy commute from the outskirts around Tucson. Oh, by the way... my airfare cost me $5.00! I used some of my miles! ;) Dave Hi All, I'm afraid I have to concur with Adam and David on the Tucson hotel/motel situation. Something about paying Manhattan prices for a roach and bed-bug infested room in an area you wouldn't walk at night unarmed rubs me the wrong way. There are many wonderful people that I would love to see there this year (and perhaps I still will), but I won't support hotel piracy. I see that a room at the Westward Look would run about $350 a night after fees and taxes. Split between two people, that's a better deal than staying solo anywhere downtown. It's still overpriced, but at least it's a nice place. --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [meteorite-list] Red Rain in India
Sounds like he just got finished watching Tom Cruise in the new version of War of the Worlds. Maybe next, there will be blood red roots growing everywhere! Dave Red rain from another planet? rediff.com March 08, 2006 On July 25, 2001, blood-red rain fell over Kerala. The unusual phenomenon continued for two months, raining crimson, turning clothes pink, burning leaves on trees. In some places, the rain fell in scarlet sheets. Scientists were shocked, and the government ordered an investigation. Scientists concluded that the rain was red because winds had swept up dust from Arabia and dumped it on Kerala. But Dr Godfrey Louis, a Reader in Physics at the School of Pure and Applied Physics at the Mahatma Gandhi University in Kottayam, Kerala, was not convinced. He diligently gathered rain samples and, after months of painstaking research, concluded: 'The red particles, which caused the red rain of Kerala, are of extraterrestrial origin.' His colleagues -- other scientists and physicists -- frowned at the conclusion. But Dr Louis stuck to his theory. His scientific conclusions have now received international support. Dr Milton Wainwright of the micro-biology Department at Sheffield University in Britain has been examining some of the particles of the red rain samples that hit Kerala. And he has come out in support of Dr Louis' theory that the rains could belong to an alien life form. I am indeed thrilled that my scientific conclusions have received international support and recognition, Dr Louis told rediff.com New Scientist Magazine, in its March cover story, has published the red rain phenomenon along with the doctor's theory. How did he come to this conclusion, we asked. Dr Louis says the phenomenon first occurred at the place close to where he lives in Kerala. The characteristics were very strange. Conventional explanations appeared totally inadequate. I started an investigation with limited resources and was greatly assisted by my research student A Santhosh Kumar, he says. How did their investigations bring them to their interesting conclusion? We arrived at it by analysing the various aspects associated with the phenomenon, like the geographical and time distribution pattern, and the nature of the particles, he says. These are the findings: * The phenomenon can be explained easily if it is assumed that the origin of the red particles is from cometary fragments, which underwent atmospheric disintegration above Kerala. * There is additional correlating evidences that prompts this line of thinking, like the sonic boom from the meteor airburst, which preceded the first red rain case. Having made a logical possibility like this, it follows that the cometary body in question should contain a huge quantity of these red particles, which amounts to an estimated quantity of more than 50,000 kg. * What makes this finding most important is the biological cell-like nature of the particles. Under an optical microscope, they appear like biological cells. Transmission Electron Microscopy further shows a clear cell structure (Image above). Their organic nature is indicated by the major presence of carbon and oxygen. But, despite these biological indications, the cells do not show the presence of DNA. The genetic molecule DNA is present in all living organisms found on Earth, so the absence of DNA argues against the biological nature of these cells. * There is thus the possibility of alternate biomolecules in these cells, whose origin is suspected as extraterrestrial. This way, the cells may represent an alternate form of life from space. If these are such biological cells, then their production in huge quantity inside cometary bodies can be explained by the theory of cometary panspermia. But, what if these new scientific ideas are wrong? Dr Louis says that, if they are, he wants a better explanation for the phenomenon and the strange nature of the cells. If these cells have a terrestrial origin, then it follows that they exist in huge quantities in some part of the Earth and are sure to have been noticed by some microbiologists. But there appears to be no such identification so far, he says. Dr Louis' theory was initially ridiculed, but has now been accepted for research by international scientists like Dr Wainwright. His research has also been accepted for publication in the reputed international journal Astrophysics and Space Science. He is soon gearing up to publish the next set of results and conduct several collaborative studies to further unravel the mystery of the cells. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com

For years astronomers and geologists have been watching for any report of a meteorite falling of being discovered imbedded in the soil of the state. The specimen now on display in the museum is a large fragment of a meteorite which fell in Tilden, a town 45 miles southeast of St. Louis, Mo., on July 12, 1927.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ibitira in thin section
I could use a few oohs and aahs in my life, so how about a couple of pics!!! :) Dave Hello Listees, Listoids, List, The noncumulate, unbrecciated, monomict Ibitira eucrite with its mm-sized gas holes or vesicles has always been on my wish list (see O.R. Norton, p. 153 Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites for a breathtaking slice measuring about 10 by 10 cm in size). So I was more than happy when Michael Cottingham offered a small but very characteristic slice of 0.21 grams for sale some time ago that I immediately purchased from him. Not long ago, Michael Blood offered 3 Ibitira thin sections, one of which I acquired, as this would be the ideal complement to my little slice and it even looked so similar -- almost as if it had been cut from the same piece. Today, when I looked at my Ibitira thin section under crossed polars and with several different magnifications, there were many oohs and aahs at the spectacular, colorful Ca-poor pyroxenes (pigeonite) most of which are crossed by countless parallel, fine laths of Ca-rich augite (so-called exsolution lamellae). The pyroxenes account for about 60% of my thin section, the second most abundant phase is, of course, plagioclase (grayish-white because it is chemically zoned). These plagioclase crystals show undulatory extinction when you rotate the section under your microscope with polars crossed. There are also several opaque inclusions throughout the section (they look black both in transmitted light and under crossed polars). According to the literature, they are ilmenite (CaTiO3), chromite (FeCr2O4), FeNi-metal and troilite. Ibitira is also said to contain the silica polymorph tridymite (SiO2) but I haven't been able to locate these laths yet as I've never looked for tridymite before. These laths can be as long as 7 mm (in NWA 1181) but are usually about 1 mm in length.

[meteorite-list] Venting.
Greetings. This is something that has got under my skin a bit this past week, and need to do a little venting, even though it might bring some people down on me. After being in Tucson at the show a couple of weeks ago, and spending a bit of time in Bob Haag`s room, and seeing the great sales that he offered to people, including myself. I`m just amazed that these same people are now turning around, selling thier specimens that they got from Bob, and using HIS NAME to make a profit from these purchases from him! I know that this is probably just business, but seems a little unethical to me. They are not bad people, but just seem a bit too greedy! I know of a couple of pieces that other collectors would have liked, but were gone before they even had a chance at a great deal, specimen and provinance! Hopefully this kind of practice does not affect future deals from certain individuals, and REAL collectors can benefit from the these kinds of sales, and appreciate the specimen for what it is, and not something to make money on. There, that is all I have to say on that, and I WILL NOT be selling the pieces that I got from Bob! Dave __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson news ( and AD )
Greetings Michel. Sounds like you are having a good time so far, but keep some of that champagne on ice for awhile, as some of us meteorite nuts won`t arrive till Thursday! see you then! Dave Hello list; Here is my second message about what's happening there. I discover the show and it is great. Things are movin fast. Amongst others, I had the visist of Ted Bunch and we discussed about my Achondrite anom Sahara 03500 ( Tassa Mahchi on my web site) he agrees that the metal globules are really big, probably the bigger he ever seen, ( which conforts me in the idea that this meteorite is really special, and for the first time offered to the public in Tucson.), he thinks it is highly shocked which we had also discovered. He is sceptical about the classification. I will certainly ask for more analyses when I come back home. I had a brillant evening with my friend John Kashuba and his wife. I slowly recover from the cold I caught on arrival. My show room is now ready waiting for you visists. I display mainly main masses and some big slices. I brought with me more than $ 100 000 of material, 95 % of it being original and presented for the first time on the market, such as the Djermaia 1961 fall (Chad) , the Molay7 kg diogenite, Tassa Mahchi, and much more. I have still some champagne Best regards Michel FRANCO Tucson Inn Suites Room 222. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Do you Yahoo!?

[meteorite-list] Iron Meteorite on Mars (Color Photo)
Hello Ron. What a cool color picture that is. Is there a possibility in the near future of a color print being published that a person could purchase? I for one would like to have one! Thanks for all the info that you provide to us! Dave http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/mer/images.cfm?id=1466 [Image] Iron Meteorite on Mars January 19, 2005 NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has found an iron meteorite on Mars, the first meteorite of any type ever identified on another planet. The pitted, basketball-size object is mostly made of iron and nickel. Readings from spectrometers on the rover determined that composition. Opportunity used its panoramic camera to take the images used in this approximately true-color composite on the rover's 339th martian day, or sol (Jan. 6, 2005). This composite combines images taken through the panoramic camera's 600-nanometer (red), 530-nanometer (green), and 480-nanometer (blue) filters.

[meteorite-list] Some Good News for a Change
Greetings Adam and list members. I would like to ask Adam and Greg if and when their awesome collection will be made avaible online, so that all of us can gaze at it? Looking forward to that day!!! Dave Dear List, Sure, some are turned off by the efforts being made to restore collector confidence, change is painful for some. Many believe the problem only exists with NWA material, this is not true. The influx of material from NWA has affected every sector of meteorite collecting including falls. I recognize there are other factors involved as well. The good news is that there are bargains to be found everywhere regardless of how you collect. More good news is that the following steps are being taken to improve the image and add professionalism to this awesome avocation: It was decided that long-term steps should be taken in order to improve the situation. The IMCA has evolved to Corporate status with a board of directors that represent some of the most honest people you could hope to have represent this community. Rules of conduct and a code of ethics are being worked out as we speak with the input of nonbiased individuals. Collectors and dealers are becoming more aware of the importance of documentation. The chain-of-custody of some material is being rightfully questioned. This can only enhance the value of certain meteorites in the future. The entire meteoritic community including collectors and dealers were invited in by the Meteoritical Society to add input on the NomCom rules regarding NWA nomenclature. This demonstrates that differing groups can collaborate. If you did not take advantage of this you have no right to complain about NomCom rules. I personally believe the best that can be done has been done. Two more laboratories are online that did not classify meteorites just five years ago. As the cost of Microprobes comes down expect a few more to come onboard. Free classification services are starting to go away so it is time to take advantage of these services before more start charging, grant money can longer be counted on to support some of these services and a new finance model has been adopted by some laboratories. As the material is starting to dry up from NWA, laboratory wait time has been reduced to an average of six months, down from over a year and a half in some cases. Several exciting things are happening including some revamping of the archaic classification systems that are now in place. O-isotope testing is becoming an ever increasingly important tool in qualifying new meteorite types and two new facilities are onboard and are excited to work with meteorites. Meteoritics will move ahead, embrace the changes, Adam Hupe The Hupe Collection Team LunarRock IMCA 2185 [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Do you Yahoo!?

[meteorite-list] Vermillion (was Helt Township???)
The meteorite name was called Helt Township, and it fell in the County of Vermillion in Indiana. There is even a small book written on it. You can find it listed on this website http://igs.indiana.edu/geology/extraTerrestrial/meteorites/ index.cfm It even has a picture of it with numbers. They look like they could be R-9276. ??? I must find out more!!! :) Dave Hi list. According to the same Catalogue that Sterling quoted, Marv Kilgore has the main mass of the Vermillion (Kansas) pyroxene pallasite. But what I find to be courious, is that there are larger masses in other collections. And according to Dave Wier, Vermillion may be more confidently considered to be genetically related to members of the low-Au division of the IAB iron-meteorite complex. In any case, the name Vermillion is now taken. So even if the Indiana Iron were recovered, it would have to get a different name. Sternengruss, Moni __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Dave AAH the keys: a little slice of paraidse , eh? you're only supposed to go to the keys to LIVE- NOT to work! still own property in big pine, butwould hate to have to buy it now. keys are nice IF (and only if) you own your own place free and clear- rent is ridiculously high for what you get ($1,000 for a single-wide to $2,600 for a 3/2 on a canal) and the average wage for 70% of the population of moroe county is only$7.20/hr.. if you really want some fun, try to get a building permit for that 100'x50' lot w/ no rogo points you bought next door for only $50,000. blood vessels will bust and hairs will grey and fall out (trust me on this one). meteorite hunting sux though. the life expectancy of any meteorite in the keys (no matter what size) is only 15 minutes!!! oh, the best bar in key west is the parrot on whitehead and there is agreat bbq place next to it called the Meteor smoke house! some of you dealer types out there ougtta sell a big campo to 'em for display as you walk in- would really fit in nicey in the place. if the sale goes thru, send me a half-dozen or so carte blanche freebie passes to the place for a finder's fee so me and my friends can stuff a gut and catch a buzz there on the house one nite.

[meteorite-list] Tucson Auctions???
Greetings. I know that this might be a little off topic these days, but I was just wondering, with only 2 months to go till Tucson that I haven`t seen any adds or anything anywhere else about Michael Blood`s Auction or The Macovich [Darrly Pitt] Auction listed anywhere? Shouldn`t we be seeing something really soon about these and also if you possibly wanted to list something in said auctions, would you contact them directly? Thanks. Dave __ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] Classic meteorites - my Top 10
Hey Norbert! You left out that Classic Indiana meteorite LaFayette!!! ;) Dave Hi John, and List, If you hadn't added the word classic I would have placed the new lunar Dhofar 908 on nr. one, for obvious reasons. Doesn't matter, there are also lots of great classic meteorites, and here's my Top 10: 1. Chassigny (martian dunite, and witnessed fall) 2. Nakhla (martian clinopyroxenite, and witnessed fall) 3. Shergotty (martian basalt, and witnessed fall) 4. Calcalong Creek (the first non-Antarctic lunar) 5. Ensisheim (yes, the only chondrite in my listing) 6. Governador Valadares (nakhlite find from Brazil) 7. Ibitira (vesicular eucrite fall from Brazil) 8. Novo-Urei (the first ureilite - yum, yum ;-) 9. Acapulco (now, that's a neat one, isn't it?) 10. Aubres (another type specimen, and a real beauty) I know that this list might not fit into your definition of classic meteorites, but that's my take of it ;-) All the best, Norbert __ Do you Yahoo!?

[meteorite-list] Vesta meteorite???
Greetings. While looking into some web sites on the 4 Vesta asteroid, I came across this site. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, they talk about the Vesta Meteorite. Ok, I might be missing something here, but I have never heard of the Vesta Meteorite, or seen it listed anywhere. I collect mainly eucrites now, so that is why I was looking up 4 Vesta sites. Can anyone help me with this one, or have an idea of the meteorite pictured? Thanks in advance! Dave http://www.geocities.com/zlipanov/selected_asteroids/4_vesta/4_vesta.html __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor Spotted Over Utah
This might be a bit premature, but currently I`m checking out a possible fall here in Indiana. Someone that I work with told me awhile back, that something hit his cousins or brothers garage roof who lives out in the country, but you know how that usually ends up being. I keep telling him to bring it to me so that I can check it out, but we have been really busy at work. I`m not getting my hopes up, but sure would like to see what ever it was. Tomorrow, Saturday is my one day off, so I will try to get in touch with him and see. I will post pictures if it might seem authentic. Wish me luck!!! Dave Meteorite Spotted Over Salt Lake Valley ABC 4 News October 16, 2003 If you think you saw a UFO over the Salt Lake valley Thursday morning, you may not have been too far off. NORAD is saying they think the unidentified object was a meteor but they have yet to confirm their findings. ABC 4's Andrew Stack has been close on the tail of this meteor all day and has more. Thursday morning, a soldier on the firing range at Camp Williams looked up to see a blinding flash, and then a long con trail. It was a tail many others would see over the next few minutes. All of a sudden, my eyes saw something fantastic, describes one. NORAD right now is researching all their records, explains another. Around 10:30 Thursday morning, some caught a glimpse of a bright, white light. I thought, you know, I'm sitting out here taking UFO pictures, says Brad Gygi, an eyewitness. At the present time, they figure this is the high time of the season for meteor showers and that's what one of the suggestions has been, but right now, it is undetermined to exactly what it is, says one. First it flew over Camp Williams. ...saw an airplane going over and then he saw a white trail that appeared to be coming from the south about two o'clock and heading to the north at about eight o'clock, describes LTC Rick West, Camp Williams Training Site. Then it was seen over downtown Salt Lake. It looked like it was heading for downtown Bountiful, says Richard Law, another eyewitness. But it never made it that far. Naturally, with the war going on, I thought, 'oh, oh, what do we got here?' And then I recognized it immediately as a comet or a meteor because of its shape and the way it was going and then when it exploded and just disappeared, I figured it just burned out in the atmoshpere. I was lucky to get a couple that did turn out, says Gygi, of his pictures. Brad Gygi was on his way to work and was lucky enough to snap a few photos before 'it' exploded. It looked really big, a lot bigger than when you see a plane flying across or something and it was pretty bright and it looked like a pretty long tail, says Gygi. I just feel like anybody who didn't see it, missed out. It was beautiful. It was just wonderful to see it. The soldier who first saw this meteor reported it through his chain of command because he feared the meteor might hit one of the commuter flights preparing to land at Salt Lake International. As it turns out, air traffic controllers at Salt Lake International took immediate action to ensure safety as soon as they heard about this explosion in the sky. They changed incoming landing approaches for a couple of flights to avoid the area. There were no close calls, all planes landed safely and everything shortly returned to normal. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Do you Yahoo!?

[meteorite-list] Birthday Meteorites
Greetings Listees. As I was just recently communicating with a well respected list and lunar meteorite collector, whose birthday was last week, [happy belated birhtday Norbert Classen] we got on the subject of birthday meteorites. He gave me a headsup on one of the 3 falls that happened on my birthday of June 2, listed on Sergey Vasiliev`s website. I contacted him and now have a fine small specimen on the way of Buschof L6 that fell June 2, 1863 in Latvia. Now all I need are specimens of Meester-Cornelis an H5 that fell in 1915 in Indonesia and Utrecht an L6 that fell in 1843 in the Netherlands. Can any list members know of anywhere that I can get specimens of these two falls that I can purchase? Thanks in advance and good luck in finding your birhtday meteorites if you take on that challenge. Dave [IMCA 2725] __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Welcome aboard Christopher, and enjoy your meteorites, this list and all of the interesting folks we have here, and also, don`t forget about Tucson next February!!! At least I think that`s when it will take place. :) Dave Whoo hoo! I finally made it on after many attempts! I've been reading the archives and have been quite impressed with the list. I am new to collecting, but have always been interested in science and space. I was on the Board of a local astronomy club a few years back (when we had access to a 15 refractor--the largest such scope in amateur hands) and even taught some astronomy 101 classes. My collection is small but growing. I have several micromounts, but a few larger pieces.

Re: [meteorite-list] Need Help, Ebay suspended my account for auction wasnt mine
Hello Ed. I had one of these also last week that I posted to the list. This is called spoofing, and there is a section in eBay if you dig hard enough to contact them about this. Like Frank said... DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION! Good luck. Dave Hi I just recieved a letter from ebay suspending my account. For a acution that I never listed ( item # 2184414322 ). I know others had problems. What address can I send this email back to to see if it is a scam. Believe it was for a Brenham meteorite, according to the letter. I cant view the auction, and sorry if anyone on this list bid.

[meteorite-list] Off topic possible eBay scam
Greetings listees. Sorry for another off topic subject, but I just received an apparent e-mail from eBay [safeharbor] stating that I have had my rights to eBay suspended for a violation of trying to log into eBay using a bogus ID, which there was no way that I did. I e-mailed eBay about this possible scam or misunderstanding and await thier reply. Has anyone else been banned lately by them or possibly been sent a false e-mail from someone else masquerading as eBay asking for your personal account information? Could someone be trying to steal our accounts since that eBay list was posted here? Maybe that wasn`t such a good idea afterall! Thanks, Dave. [indy1996] __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] PSEUDO DEALERS AND PSEUDO JUDGING
Greetings listees. There is no way that I even consider myself being any kind of a dealer. I sell on eBay so that I can make aome money to purchase my collection pieces. At the moment I am selling off a good portion of my Carbonaceous Chondrite collection on eBay [hint-hint] so that I can purchase new Eucrites, as this is the collection direction that I am going towards now. Collector yes... dealer no! Have a great 4th.! Dave Dear List, We consider ourselves collectors first not dealers. We have spent way more than we have sold. I feel some of the qualifications for a true dealer are: Knowing what you are selling meaning having meteorites classified whenever possible Possessing an excellent knowledge of the subject Having a long-term business plan Standing behind what you are selling Knowing what the market will bear (fair pricing) so that you will be around for awhile Knowing the ratio between ordinary meteorites and rare ones and pricing accordingly Preparing or having material prepared properly Depositing proper sized type specimens Promoting meteoritics Donating material to non-profit organizations to further promote meteorites Protecting customers long-term interests by providing accurate TKWs Working closely with the scientific community Keeping track of your inventory meaning cataloging and labeling Above all being honest I am sure a lot more can be added to this list.
