Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] End of an Era - The California fall.
Amen to that Geoff! orC'est la Vie! David R Childs - Original Message - From: Aerolite Business b...@aerolite.org To: IMCA List i...@imcamail.de Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2012 10:56 PM Subject: Re: [IMCA] End of an Era - The California fall. Dear Guido: As a relative newcomer to the field I feel you are basing your doom- and-gloom prophesy on recent events only, without looking at the big picture. You may not be aware of the fact that -- in nearly all cases -- the price of meteorites has been rising *steadily* for as long as there has been a market for them. There are, however, exceptions: In 1998 I saw Zagami sell for $1,700/gram; two years ago I saw it (not selling) for $400/gram. In the late 1960s you could acquire a beautiful Canyon Diablo with a hand-painted H.H. Nininger number for dollars a pound. In the late 1990s, the few existing wholesale dealers could barely find buyers for stunning sculpted Gibeons at $35/kilo. Now it's $500/kilo if you're very lucky, and the price has gone up incrementally every year; a result of supply and demand, not because of some sort of media sensation. The same thing has happened with space memorabilia, military history artifacts, transportation memorabilia, and probably every other collectible of which there is a limited supply. While I agree with you that that there are many more amateurs out in the field looking for the California fall -- no argument there, it's obvious -- how much would an example of Mighei cost you today, if you could find one? I wouldn't be surprised if it was pretty close to $1,000 a gram. I wouldn't pay $1,000 for a little scrap of this new fall; I'd much rather have a a multi-kilo Campo del Cielo, but that's me. Some collectors will be ecstatically happy to pay up for a witnessed fall American carbonaceous chondrite, and god bless 'em. Every collector's passion is different. There are more meteorite collectors today than at any time in history. Value is primarily determined by rarity and I am quite sure you appreciate how rare meteorites are. The Internet is primarily responsible for growth in the popularity of meteorites, as are books like the excellent Rocks from Space, my television show, and the frequent high-profile natural history auctions by I.M. Chait, Heritage, and other houses. In the pre-Internet days it was extremely difficult to connect with other collectors; you might happen upon Blaine Reed's small ad in Astronomy magazine, or find a rock shop that carried a couple of modest specimens, but there was no meteorite community. The Internet made it possible for enthusiasts to find one another, and the field blossomed -- very rapidly -- between 1997 and the early 2000s. That was *way* before any significant media interest. Increased awareness means more finds, and at least ten important new meteorites (that I know of) have come to light as a direct result of my TV show and other media attention. That's a good thing. New finds will continue to be made and new collectors will continue to come into the fold. Meteorite collecting is no longer a weird niche market that nobody has heard of. Love it or leave it, but there's no point in grousing about it. Cool things become popular. That's just the way it goes.

David R Childs - Original Message - From: karmaka karmaka-meteori...@t-online.de To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2011 12:09 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Scientific American Archives 1845-1909 available until November 30, 2011 Dear Mark and list members, It's always interesting and amusing to read what people in the past thought about the origin of meteorites. Here some examples from 19th Century editions of 'Scientific American': In 1848 C.U. Shepard believed in the terrestrial origin of meteorites. Meteorites were believed to rain down from metallic meteoric dust clouds in the upper atmosphere because of the influence of magnetic storms. The dust clouds were thought to have formed from ashes and terrestrial matter which had 'mechanically' been 'elevated' by volcanoes and tornadoes. http://www.nature.com/scientificamerican/journal/v4/n12/pdf/scientificamerican12091848-94b.pdf (Scientific American, 9 Dec 1848) In 1876 Proctor believed that iron meteorites were ejected from a sun during solar outbursts whereas Moigno believed them to be remains of ancient 'used-up worlds'. It may be, as Mr. Proctor has suggested, that some of them, the siderites es pecially, have been ejected from our own or some other sun, by some of those tremendousoutbursts of solar energy which we occasionally observe with our spectroscopes ; or they may have originated, as Moigno argues, in the cracking to pieces of some old and used-up world. (from Scientific American, 19 August 1876 ; http://www.nature.com/scientificamerican/journal/v35/n8/pdf/scientificamerican08191876-119a.pdf ) 'Old worlds' indeed, but not 'used-up'... Unfortunately there is one truly 'used-up world' in the solar system ... our own. Furthermore, 19th Century comparisons are amusing, like these ones: white as chalk, black as coal and Orgueil is 'a mass of rather coherent garden soil' The aerolite of Bishopsville, S. C., though covered with the invariable black crust, is internally almost as white as chalk, and as light as pumice ; that of Kold Bokkeveld,South Africa, on the other hand, resembles a piece of anthracite coal more than any thing else; and that of Orgueil, a mass of rather coherent garden soil. Must be the most expensive 'garden soil' in the universe Unfortunately many (carbonaceous) meteorites end up becoming soil when plowed under in the fields because they couldn't be found quickly enough. This might have happened to the potential Geislingen meteorites which my German meteorite friends and me were eagerly trying to find in January ... in vain. (Well, not 'in vain' actually because although we didn't find meteorites, we found new friends and experienced cooperation and community ... thus immaterial gratification ... priceless !!!) Too often meteorites are not found (on time) because important information does not flow freely to those (not primarily driven by the 'profit motive') enthusiasts who are willing to spend their time and energy on finding the freshly fallen specimens before planet earth's aggressive oxygen and humidity start their attack on the stony or iron 'aliens'. It's always an unbearable thought that freshly fallen meteorites in developed countries just rot away unnoticed because some people are not willing to cooperate for a 'higher meteoritic goal' ... but that is another never-ending story.

And even today the rocks are being studied and the radionuclide's detected tell us the age and also the resources that we might obtain should the United States ever return and complete what we should have done decades ago. And in a way it does relate to our quest of and classification of lunar meteorites, without that data that they brought back, comparisons and identifications of lunar meteorites would be harder than they are now. The issue that bothers me is the fact that Dr. Ed Mitchell, sixth man to set foot on the Moon was sued by the United States Goverment for having and wanting to sell a DAC Camera that would otherwise have been destroyed on the Moon. All Apollo Lunar Astronauts were given the incentive to retain items from the LM if they met weight requirements as per the Mission Commander's approval at the time of the mission. So for four decades he held on to this camera... Till he decided to auction it in his now 80 years of life. NASA and our Government then sued him for possession. And under that duress he surrendered the camera. This is a travesty, done to a great man, recipient of the Medal of Freedom, And the lawsuit is a disgrace,,, Shame on NASA and our Government for treating him so. So with that in mind I posted a video on Youtube with a call for public action to rectify this disgrace. First see this one as background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bttkWVERGVs Then my video with a call for action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH3DtuH_-5s Legal actions by our Government for seizure of such artifacts, due to their loss of records affects all that have Apollo memorabilia. And of the over 1000 members of this list there may be some that have such artifacts. I have two Apollo artifacts that have no record of transfer. One was given to me by a personal friend Eugene Shoemaker, and the other I won in an Ebay auction. Most true Apollo Mission artifacts that are being bought,sold and auctioned are in the same category, no records of transfer. It is events like this lawsuit against Ed Mitchell that really upsets my trust in our Government, which seems to be out of control... As if there are things more important than improving our economy and doing some good for all. Steve P.S. Hope I have not taxed anyone with my long OT post.

A new video compiles these 309 images, providing an historic record of the three-year trek that totaled about 13 miles (21 kilometers) across a Martian plain pocked with smaller craters. The video featuring the end-of-drive images is now available online, at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html?media_id=114782241 . It shows the rim of Endeavour becoming visible on the horizon partway through the journey and growing larger as Opportunity neared that goal. The drive included detours, as Opportunity went around large expanses of treacherous terrain along the way. The rover team also produced a sound track for the video, using each drive day's data from Opportunity's accelerometers. The low-frequency data has been sped up 1,000 times to yield audible frequencies. The sound represents the vibrations of the rover while moving on the surface of Mars, said Paolo Bellutta, a rover planner at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., who has plotted many of Opportunity's drives and coordinated production of the video. When the sound is louder, the rover was moving on bedrock. When the sound is softer, the rover was moving on sand. Opportunity and its rover twin, Spirit, completed their three-month prime missions on Mars in April 2004. Both rovers continued for years of bonus, extended missions. Both have made important discoveries about wet environments on ancient Mars that may have been favorable for supporting microbial life. Spirit stopped communicating in 2010. Opportunity continues its work at Endeavour. NASA will launch the next-generation Mars rover, car-size Curiosity, this autumn, for arrival at Mars' Gale crater in August 2012. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Exploration Rover Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

This meteorite 1,369 grams. This location is on the edge of the city, next to a massive air force base. It fell in September 2007, exact date unknown. It fell at ~3:00 am and smashed through a very poor house which had a tile roof covered with a tarp and smashed into mud bricks. The stone still has marks of the blue tarp, and the tile and mud bricks embedded in the stone. It was used for two years to hold open a shop door by the homeowner and seen by another man who recognized it as something special and acquired it. He finally emailed me asking if it was a meteorite. I flew to Guadalajara and bought it this weekend. It is in perfect condition, never damaged or cleaned thankfully, and while the owners family wanted to smash it to see inside, he never did!

Itokowa as Doug has said, is only a couple of blocks' size, and I certainly have not heard of Itokowa suggested as source of anything, except the Japanese did land something on it a while back and took some samples.

Approximately 17% of asteroids are of this type, making it the second most common after the C-type. and from the Nature link: S-types are commonly found on the inner fringes of the belt, So it is not fair to call puny Itokawa even one of many parent body asteroids; only that a reasonable composition match for LL chondrites was found in what might be representative of its surface dust. The asteroid is only 2 X 2 X 6 city blocks in size or so ... but interesting since its orbit gets closer to our neighborhood. There is a case for all Vestoids being from Vesta, but such a common origin has not (yet?) been identified for S-type asteroids. With the exception of Vesta, no asteroid parent bodies are suspected with any certainty to be such grand-parent bodies. Grandparent, meaning it is directly linked ... rather than one of a billion possibilities.
