[meteorite-list] Felix... CO3.2 or CO3.4???????
Greetings Listees. I have this nice piece of Felix in my collection that I purchased a few years back, and with the receipt it was classified as a CO3.4, but I looked it up in the book Meteorites from A to Z which is a marvelous reference book that I use alot, and it says it is classified as a CO3.2. I`ve talked to two notable and well respected list members about this and one says he found it listed as a CO3.2 and the other found it listed as a CO3.4. Is there some kind of conflict with this particular meteorite in its classification, or just a couple of misprints? Thanks for your help in advance!!! Dave IMCA #2725 __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] Felix... CO3.2 or CO3.4???????
Thanks to everyone for finally settling the Felix mystery as one well known list member wrote to me. It really had me perplexed for awhile. Have a great evening everyone! Dave --- Jeff Grossman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No way Felix is 3.2. Jones and Scott (1990) had it at 3.2, but more recent data show it to be significantly higher. Kainsaz is a solid 3.2, and all properties of Felix show it to be more equilibrated than Kainsaz. Data on TL (Sears) and on amoeboid olivine inclusions (Chizmadia) show Felix to be more like 3.3-3.4. My own studies of matrix in CO's support 3.4 for Felix. So, call it 3.3/3.4. jeff 02:38 PM 6/11/2003 -0700, Tom aka James Knudson wrote: Hello All Dave wrote; I`ve talked to two notable and well respected list members about this and one says he found it listed as a CO3.2 and the other found it listed as a CO3.4.

I just want to welcome more of our esteemed meteorite hunters to our crazy Midwest weather. Friday we had some rain showers with temperatures in the mid 50`s, followed by Friday nights weather of Severe Thunderstorms and downpours of rain to todays (Saturday) of a temperature of 30 with a wind chill of around 20 and SNOW showers. See what we Midweaterners have to put up with! Good luck and hope you brought some warm weather gear with you!! :) Dave __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[meteorite-list] Galim (a) and Galim(b) question??????
Greetings listees. I was going through my copy of
Meteorites A to Z last night, and came across
something that seemed me a little strange. I noticed
that the two falls, Galim(a) and Galim(b) both fell on
the same day, at the same time, and in the same place.
What struck me curiously about this is that Galim(a)
was 5 stones found and it`s classification is an LL6
vnd. pmb., and that Galim(b) was only 1 stone and
classified as an EH3/4{5}! Now, I may be missing
something completely basic, but how can two different
falls happen at the same time, day and place, or could
Galim(b) actually be a find, and was found when
Galim(a) fell? Thanks!
Dave

Re: [meteorite-list] RE: My Introduction
Welcome Ryan. Good luck hunting and enjoy this fascinating and educational hobby Dave Greetings Everybody, As a new list member, I just wanted to introduce myself to everybody; My name is Ryan,and I live in Franklin, WI (Milwaukee Co.) Some of you dealers may already know who I am from previous purchases. I have been collecting for a few years now, but have recently taken up the art of meteorite hunting. I went down to Park Forest on Friday,and needless to say the weather and hunting were terrible and I came back with nothing. I plan to make return trips to Park Forest , the first being either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll let everyone know if I find anything. By the way, does anybody know the approximate radius of the strewnfield? The last I heard was approx. 8km. Any info would be well appreciated. Thanks everyone! I am glad to be a new member of the Meteorite Central mailing list, and I am looking foward to meeting all of you. Regards, Ryan __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] Park Forest meteorite debacle
Steve Witt robbed the finder? Ask some of the finders how the police ripped them off! And also that idiot from Chicago! (NOT STEVE) What a maroon! Dave Hello everyone, a little news from the strewnfield. The news is not good. The people here all think that they are millionaires, they all want $10 to $20 gram now. The police chief tols Steve Witt to leave or be arrested as they think he robbed a meteorite finder by paying several dollars per gram! The news has stated that they are worth $500 per ounce ~$15 gram. The Museum in Chicago has not helped, stating that dealers are here to rip the locals off and that they should donate all the pieces to the university/museum. I have been in 6 homes today that were penetrated by meteorites, serious damage to many of them. There are many pieces but as I said, people now want $100,000 for some stones and they are NOT JOKING. I wish anyone who plans to come out good luck, I will hunt tomorrow and try to secure a stone or two, then go home and let people get to reality. I do have 4 pieces totaling about one kilo, 3 pieces that hit a house and damaged the siding. The other piece is a half individual that impacted the median in a road, and has the nose imbedded with yellow street paint. I do not know if there will be any out for sale any time soon, the price is so high we are just walking away from many people. A few got a few cheap specimens, but very few. If any will come for sale from me, it will likely be quite expensive. I do not know what the next few days hold, more pieces should be found though so maybe we will have more luck. I will email more info later. Mike Farmer __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] What's Your Favourite Ordinary Chondrite?
Greetings everyone. First I`m depressed that I missed the get together in Chicago Sunday evening! :( I had to work late. Second. Here is a list of my favorite ordinary chondrites in my collection. Sorry, but I just had to list 6. 1) Vyatka H4/5 550 gram full slice. 2) Naiman L6 58.25 gram full slice. 3) Kunashak L6 66.06 gram partslice. 4) NWA 061 LL4 8.00 gram partslice. 5) Bensour LL6 79.61 gram oriented indivivdual. 6) My new and really cool... Thuathe H4 163.56 gram individual. Have a great day! Dave G'day List, Today I got to thinking how most of the 'Prestige' in meteorites generally goes to the Achondrites, Pallasites etc. The good lookers! ;-) So I thought I would throw this out to everyone and ask what your favourite Ordinary Chondrite is because there are some really amazing meteorites which this classification. It doesn't matter what your reason is. It may be that it's just a really attractive piece or possibly the story behind how it was found or fell. If everyone gets into the spirit of it, I'll tally up all the answers in a week or so and let everyone know the Top Picks! We may find some surprising results! You can give up to 5 favourites and I'll start with these picks: 1) Knyachinya (L/LL5) - Birthday meteorite with great fresh crust and a really nice colourful brecciated matrix. 2) Parnallee (LL3.6) - Put simply: Rare, Old and Awesome matrix. 3) NWA 965 (LL4) - Tiny TKW with a matrix choc full of multi-coloured crisp chondrules. 4) Richfield (LL3.7) - If you haven't seen a larger piece or a good photo of one; time to change that! 5) Bensour (LL6) - As fresh dramatic as it gets. Whitish matrix with jet black fusion crust! Too cool! Looking forward to hearing some responses, Jeff Kuyken I.M.C.A. #3085 www.meteoritesaustralia.com (P.S.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson 2003 Events
I`d still like to go try my hand at meteorite hunting one day! And I don`t mean at the Show! ;) Dave All, The question about the Tucson Gem Mineral Show got me thinking... You'll note that the word meteorite isn't a part of the show name at all. I'm told that they really are a small part of the over all events going on at this time. As a matter of fact, this year will be my first at the Tucson show. I'll also be working my butt off as I now have a job with one of the big mineral importers here in Tucson. I must confess that as I learn more about everything that will be happening, I start to feel quite overwhelmed! To help the poor, lost newbies like myself find the interesting (meteorite) events, is there a calendar or guide for the show specific to our sub-group? When and where are the parties, the big dealers, auctions, museum displays, etc.? If such a thing does not exist... well, does anyone feel industrious?

Hi Mike Martin, New Concord certainly did not escape my awareness for meteoritic hammers (that nailed something). It is one of about 20 I offer in my Hammer Set, and one of the largest - a several gram specimen in each set. New Concord is nice, fresh, beautiful stuff, well documented, as well.unlike the ol' Nakhla Dog (bait, bait), which I also include in the set, though in a Bessey Speck sample, of course, to keep the sets affordable. While I don't sell individual specimens apart from the set, I WILL TRADE to get a hammer I don't yet have, or have only tiny bits of. Some of these guyes have really interesting pedagrees, such as Barwell, which struck not only cars and buildings, but one stone flew in a window, bounced off the floor and landed in a cup of tea! Of course, there are more common examples, such as Allende (roofs, houses patios), Holbrook (Train Station), Juancheng (through a roof into a pot on the stove!), etc. So, we don't only have dead cows, horses, cars and mailboxes, but a slew of other items, as well as a badly bruised housewife. For a TERRIFIC list of hammers throughout history, see the extensive list maintained by Walter Branch at: http://www.branchmeteorites.com/MetStruck.html In my sets, so far, at least, the hardest to get was the Sylagauga which is exceptionally well documented as hitting a woman. I have HEARD of one reputed to go through a car windshield and strike the driver in the hand, but I have NEVER seen the material offered also, I want more have only Bessey Specks of the extremely rare HH, Burnwell (Sept.4, 1990 Pike Co.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sand Dunes and Meteorites
I wonder if anyone has thought to search the sand dunes on the southern shores of Lake Michigan, since the Great Lakes were formed by giant glaciers many moons ago! Do you think that any meteorites could have been deposited on these dunes from the melting ice? I also wonder if anyone around this area would be interested in combing the area one of these days if they think that it might be worth while? Have a great Easter everyone, if you celebrate it!

Although I'm not very optimistic about their prospects in sand dune fields, I wouldn't want to discourage their efforts. After all, the area between sand dunes can be considered a blow-out area. And besides, Michael Cottingham found his Kermit stones in a Texas dune field. The locality that most of these individuals have selected as being the most promising/pristine, is the Algodones Dunes in Imperial County. But just today, the LA Times ran an article announcing that this very Dune Field will be under consideration for opening up 49,000 acres to the general public (meaning, to off-road vehicular traffic).

On the other hand, they may have the opportunity to canvass the area by dune buggy, but they better plan on getting there early. Some weekends have as many as 200,000 ORVs flying over the crests of these dunes from every direction in the general use (OHV) area. But plans are to only allow entry to 500 vehicles per weekend (in the former wilderness area).

[meteorite-list] My Tucson Experience
Greetings Listees! Just wanted to say that my experience this year in Tucson was very enjoyable again. I was able to attend Mr. Bloods Auction on Friday evening, the Big Birthday Bash Saturday evening and also Darryl Pitts Auction Sunday morning! The first 2 events I was basically chatting with people that I haven`t seen in a year, but Sunday morning I had my eyes on a few things. Being that I mainly collect Carbonaceous Chondrites, I was looking at the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 and also the Efremovka CV3, but was subsequently out bid on both of these, but was successful on the 3g. piece of Ningqiang CK-ANOM and also a great 79.41g. piece of Kainsaz CO3.2! Last year people were trying to find some shade from the hot sun, but this year there was a chill in the air and the sun was more than welcomed! The only other meteorite that I purchased this year was a cool 9.55g. partslice of NWA 723 a CV3.5 from Bruno and Carine of La Memoire de la Terre and also much needed membrane boxes. The rest of the time was spent just browsing around, socializing and enjoying the sun before returning to the cold of Northern Indiana. Hope to see everyone again next year and also those who could not make it this year. As Rob Elliott always says, Cheers! Dave Schultz p.s. I also want to thank Mike Farmer for getting me started (addicted) to collecting these cosmic wonders! __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorites and
Kids
Hello Everyone,
I recently had the chance to talk about meteorites to six classes of third
grade students, something which I enjoy very much. If you have not done this
and you get the opportunity, I would encourage you to do so. It is really a
lot of fun. Let me share a few of my observations.
Kids love the big heavy irons, bring at least one but make sure it is a
solid piece. They can pass it around but if it is a rust flaky Nantan, for
example, they will manage to peel off some lose rust spots and it is kind of
embarrassing to the presenter. Also do not let them handle a Sikhote-Alin
shrapnel piece. Some shrapnel have VERY sharp edges which can easily cut small
hands, which would also be embarrassing to the presenter.
I like to bring a large piece of quartz crystal with me to make a nice
contrast between a nice fusion crusted stone and terrestrial rocks and
minerals. Some kids, though, will be as interested if not more
interested in the quartz.
The children were very much aware of the monetary value of meteorites. A
girl asked how much I would offer her if she found a meteorite from the moon
and I jokingly responded, "well, at least $10.00." The kids got the joke
because they knew it would be worth much more than that. A few kids focused
almost exclusively on the monetary value of meteorites ("how is that one
worth, etc.").
I bring along several books with nice pictures of meteorites to augment the
presentation and my homemade "Magnet on a Stick" (actually, a big dowel rod).
My wife teaches third grade language arts and in her class, a girl had brought
in her rock collection for me to examine to determine if any were meteorites.
For now, lets call her the "Rock Girl."
I talked about the properties of meteorites and I demonstrated they are
attracted to a magnet and earth rocks are not. There are some terrestrial
exceptions but I figured why complicate matters by pointing out the rare
exceptions. Rock girl brings a metallic looking rock towards me, I hold the
magnet on a stick out to her, she places it on the magnet and low and behold,
IT STICKS.
Silence fell over the room and the little girl had a grin that stretched
from ear to ear. Simultaneously, my eyes open, my mouth drops and I hurriedly
bring the object closer for inspection. After years of working with
meteorites, I immediately knew what it was...
Hematite :-(
Okay, now I back peddle a little and explain that there ARE some earth
rocks that kinda look like meteorites and will stick to a magnet and HEMATITE
is one (you can see an example of this great meteorwrong on my website). South
Georgia is not known for large quantities of hematite but I failed to ask her
immediately where she obtained her sample. My mistake.
A little while latter I show the kids three large perfectly formed
tektites: a dumbbell, a disk, and a teardrop. I explain the differences
between meteorites and tektites, I let the kids hold them, and all of a sudden
the Rock Girl says, "I have one of those." She pulls a black glassy object
from a box on her desk and hands it to me. I look at the top surface and
recognize it immediately...
It's a tektite!
Now, you have to understand my excitement at this point. The Georgia
Tektite strewn field is about four or five counties west of the school. As far
as I know, no Georgia tektite has ever been found in Bryan County, which is
where the little girl lives. I looked over at my wife and after seeing
literally dozens of kg of tektites even she recognized it as a probable
tektite. I began thinking that the Georgia strewn field has just now been
greatly extended when I turned it over and my heart sank.
The other side was very smooth and concave, as if it were once part of the
interior of a larger object and was part of a gas bubble.
It was a Chinese tektite. Exactly like my presentation pieces and exactly
like the dozens of kg I have sold in the past. I then asked the girl how she
obtained her rock collection and she showed me her collection box with nice
glossy printed cards. The tektite (and hematite) were part of a set that her
father had purchased. Unfortunately, there were no meteorites in the set but
she did have the beginnings of a very nice rock collection.
This reminded me that about four years ago, one boy brought me a glassy
object that looked like it might be a tektite. I sent it to Bill Glass but the
microprobe analysis showed that it was not.
I showed a large slice of Allende and I casually asked if anyone could tell
me waht the large white spots were. After only a few hints, a teacher
correctly

Getting ready for the presentation, I laid the meteorites out on a metal side table which the teacher provided. Knowing that part of my talk was on how to identify meteorites from terrestrial rocks, I obviously bought along a rare earth magnet. A flash of genius struck ;-) Holding tightly, I carefully put my rare earth magnet on the metal table. (You probably know where I'm going). During the talk I asked young Billy to come up and help me demonstrate that meteorites were magnetic. It was his birthday and being a larger third grade boy made it all the better. I held a small Canyon Diablo iron and asked him to pick up the magnet and show the class how it stuck to the meteorite. Young Billy reached for the magnet and..obviously wasn't able to move it, try as he might. Both he and the class got a good laugh and the class paid even more attention than they might have. The third graders were a great age group to share our love of meteorites with. Their minds were sponges, soaking up every bit of knowledge there was, they were interested in and liked learning, and they were studying the solar system. A perfect audience. A few days later, I received a package containing letters from every one of the students. I still have them, and hopefully they also still have their small, weathered piece of the solar system (a great way to get rid of those small broken weathered NWA pieces). Regards, Frank P.S. I probably wouldn't use this trick on older students. They might actually get the magnet off the table than then pinch their finger between the magnet and table or meteorite. Coincidently, just the other day I was playing around with a couple of rare earth magnets and the result was a nice blood blister to show for it. Guess one of these days I'll grow up :-) __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
