Re: [meteorite-list] A special request
I met Larry Sloan when we got together to form the Colorado Meteorite Society in the early days of this century. He was always friendly, cheerful and ready to help or go hunt meteorites. That is what he seemed to like best and is also what I like to do best! Larry is my hero because while I most often have an excuse why I can’t go hunting right now, Larry had loaded his ATV, hooked up his trailer, and headed to the latest strewnfield or set out to find a new one. I did get to hunt with Larry in 5 states in the Southwest. When I was headed to or home from Tucson, I would call him to get his current location and drive out to find him dry camped by himself many miles from any blacktop road. He loved to share his photos of his latest finds of meteorites or interesting rocks. Larry loved the science of Meteoritics and donated many specimens to labs, schools, and Museums. I can’t imagine how different Tucson will be this year without Larry’s grinning face to brighten each day. Some days he would show up first thing in the morning wearing his self-collected chondrite belt buckle carrying a box of doughnuts sent by ET and Patrick Thompson. In the late afternoon after I had spent a long day in the sun and wind, Larry would show up with a red solo cup of ET’s out of this world Margaritas in each hand for me and my friend Ralph. I don’t expect to meet a finer person and friend than Larry Sloan! I like Dana’s thought that Larry might not be ready to RIP but to work on sending us some special rocks from Heaven. Keep on hunting!

[meteorite-list] Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! and Happy Holidays to all the members of the IMCA I am having too much fun with my new Nikon D610 camera that's fits nicely on my Nikon petrographic microscope. I have an amazing zoned olivine in a Jrifiya martian thin section in the cross hairs just now. YEA, at last I have a good camera/microscope setup. About six weeks ago I scored 100% on a test, everyone always told me that was the goal and a good thing, well maybe not. My right coronary artery is 100% blocked! Not to worry, I think these RCA's are over rated. With a few more drugs and exercise I am good to go, no fuss no muss. I also looking forward to seeing many of you in Tucson in just a few weeks.

[meteorite-list] Stop Thief!, Stop
Stop! Thief! Stop! Notorious, internationally, known meteorite thief strikes again. After capers in Egypt and Brazil Ron Farrell of the Universe Collection and Bethany Science has embarked on a new bit of chicanery. He is selling unauthorized color copies of the handmade, hand colored Ensisheim woodcut print produced by Fred Olsen of Denver Colorado. I spent hundreds of hours over two years researching the original print on which this work is based. I visited Ensisheim, Alsace, France in August 1999 and began this project soon after. I searched for a good image of the original broadsheet to start with. I then modified the image, restored missing areas, altered the size to fit the handmade paper, translated and hand wrote the caption. I then transferred the image (mirror image) to a slab of hard maple and carefully carved it out. I then found a printer with a centuries old press who is versed in hand printing. Together we used hundreds of pounds of pressure to print each image, one by one, onto the French handmade paper. Then each print is painted by a professional artist who uses handmade (as were available in 1492) mineral pigment paints that I make from pure mineral crystals. The image of the Ensisheim meteorite is painted with pigments I make from ground meteorite. Ron "the Con" Farrell got my print from Louis Carion in Tucson in 2001, and started selling his rip-off color copies of my print in 2002. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Silicates in Taza
List, I want to bring you up to date on the suspected silicated Taza. I spent a couple of hours cleaning that little beauty and found that the little pits and pockets did contain silicates. Quartz in the form of desert sand was the silicate and was very well cemented and hard to identify until I cleaned the specimen. The bullet like oriented nosecone Shows both triangular expressions of the internal crystal structure and the radiating flow lines formed on its passage through the atmosphere. While I thought there was a possibility that this Taza might contain olivine I am sort of relieved that there are still no known tazas that contain silicate inclusions.

Thanks, Fred Olsen - Original Message - From: Adam Hupe To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 12:11 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Mystery Meteorite Contest II Dear List Members, It is our pleasures to announce mystery meteorite contest number two. The rules will be a little different this time. New rules: Only one entry per member. Last time we personally responded to over 240 entries and encouraged members to guess as many times as possible. The problem with the old way is we felt guilty that some people were staying up all night trying to guess. Some had to go to work the next day without sleep. The object of these contests is to provide fun and knowledge. There is always going to be a lesson learned. Last time it was researching the Antarctic collection. Please post under this string to the list. This way there will be no question about who gave the correct answers first. Nobody guessed properly last time so this was not an issue. Just like last time if nobody gets all the answers correct we will decide some fair way to award the prizes. In this case there will be three specimens awarded, the three pictured below. We hope this contest will be educational enough to warrant the use of bandwidth on the List. Unlike the last contest this will be a test of your visual skills. We will provide a few things we observed about each specimen that were impossible to capture in the images. You must guess all three correct so take your time. Specimen number 1: This meteorite has a brown crust, is only very slightly magnetic to a most powerful magnet, has white clasts in a gray matrix and there is no sign of a basaltic texture or clast. http://www.lunarrock.com/contest/dsc1.jpg Specimen number 2: This meteorite has a translucent black crust, has no metal, every square centimeter is filled with shock veins and the matrix is off-white with a greenish hue. http://www.lunarrock.com/contest/dsc2.jpg Specimen number 3: This meteorite has a translucent greenish-black crust, is only very slightly magnetic to a most powerful magnet and has white and black clasts situated in a light gray matrix. http://www.lunarrock.com/contest/dsc3.jpg This contest will officially end on February 1, 2003 at 10:00 am PST. Since we will be in Tucson without access to a computer we will have somebody else announce the classifications for us. That way nobody will go insane trying to figure out what these items are. We will announce a winner on February 15, 2003. The mystery main masses will be displayed in Tucson in room 130 at the Best Western Executive Inn in case anybody cares to find out at the show rather than waiting for a post to the List. Wishing List members whom decides to accept this challenge, good luck! All the Best, Adam and Greg Hupe The Hupe Collection IMCA 2185

Re: [meteorite-list] Is that all there is, my friends?
Dave, funny you should mention "the dog", you must be prescient. In my next post I was going to mention what is a most impressive case in the Vienna Museum. In the center of the meteorite room in an old case is a group of very nice specimens. There is a nice size half crusted piece of Shergotty. Just next to it is one piece, and one whole fully crusted shiny black Nakhla meteorites. Now I have to admit that I broke my glasses early on the trip but I could still see pretty well and I thought I saw a little bit of reddish brown hair on the whole stone. Boy I thought, they should keep their displays a little more tidy. Right below the Shergotty was a very nice part crusted piece of Chassigny. Beautiful!

Re: [meteorite-list] Is that all there is, my friends?
Vienna may have more Canyon City, California although none is listed in the catalogue, so that could add a minor 8.7 grams. Total Known weight listed in Catalogue is 8,600 grams and weight of specimens in museum collections is 7,738 grams. That leaves 862 grams wandering the earth.

[meteorite-list] Museum musings
Hello List, My wife Debbie and I just got back from a trip where we visited Meteorite and Tektite collections in the Smithsonian, The Czech National museum in Prague, also museums in Brno, Trebic and Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic and the Natural History Museum in Vienna. My head is still spinning! Just a few comments while I recover. The Smithsonian remains a world class, premiere collection with the most "modern" interpretive displays. Really something Americans can take pride in! My favorite meteorite on display is the Lafayette; an incredible; oriented, glossy, black-crusted Martian meteorite. Can your beer do that? Well speaking of beer, takes us to the Czech Republic (CR). Wow! What a country, so much good beer, so cheap, so little time. A half-liter of beer in a Brno pub cost about 75 cents. Now back to other fun. We spent four days in Prague and really enjoyed ourselves on music, museums, moldavites and meteorites. The National Museum in Prague has a nice collection of moldavites and classic meteorites, but what I most remember are three stones of the Pribram fall, sitting crowded on a small shelf, with a nice description of how they were found after their arrival on earth was photographically recorded in 1959. Their origin in the asteroid belt was calculated from the film records. I also took time while in Prague to visit list member Serguei Vassiliev; who was most congenial and accommodating. He showed me his collection and I got a very nice little piece of cheese, I mean Lunar, (Dhofar 081) from him. Although small, it shows two different lithologies and a glassy green crust. Thanks again to Serguei! We were wandering the narrow cobblestone streets back to our hotel after a night at the opera, when I saw the familiar shape of a trilobite in blue light looming in the night. It wasn't an apparition; it was a bar. The Trilobite Bar, but it was late and it was closed. I had hoped to return for a beer in the Trilobite Bar the next day but never made it back. We then moved on to Brno, the second largest city in the CR. On the way we stopped in Kutna Hora which was a major silver producing area when the Ensisheim stone fell. The mine tour was sold out for the day but there was a nice rock shop there and I got a copy of the book Moldavites by Vladimir Bouska, 1994: Prague. It is a very good book and was very helpful in locating public displays of moldavite. Just an hour and half south of Brno is Vienna. Other list members have written on the wonders in the Vienna collections. We got there on Tuesday the day the museum is closed. I spent quite a bit of time in the Museum on Wednesday; it is really impressive what you can collect if you have a couple of hundred years to do it. I collect Colorado meteorites and they have some nice ones on display, especially the main mass of the oriented stone from Kramer Creek. I did discover an error in their display. You can correct your Catalogue of Meteorites: Vienna has 8.7 grams of Canyon City, California, iron (lllAB) found in 1875. I did not see any Canon City, Colorado (H5) stone that fell October 27th, 1973. I am afraid they mislabeled their little iron cube. The Paleolithic Venus of Willendorf is a star attraction (25,000 year old limestone statue) in the other wing of the Museum; it is very impressively displayed in its own totally dark little room except for four little spotlights inside the glass case with her. It is a must see when visiting the Vienna Museum. It made me think what should be done with a meteorite in their collections. They need to do the same thing for the Cabin Creek, Arkansas iron (lllAB) Meteorite which is currently crowded into a glass cabinet with a dozen or so other irons. See Norton's CEM page 53 or Mason's Meteorites pages 40 and 41 to see what I think is the most beautiful iron meteorite on this planet. It deserves to be put it in a case by itself, but it was still a real treat to see it in person. More about Moldavites later.

[meteorite-list] Classification of Chondrites
Hello List, I have just been pondering the meaning of chondrules on this beautiful spring day. What are the criteria for determining the amount of change to chondrules and determining their ranking from 2 through 7? Is it totally subjective? Do these rankings ever get changed? What is more important; the chondrule / matrix boundary, or the total number of chondrules per square inch? When you look at a picture of L5 Cole Creek in CEM you could say that it looks cleaner and less altered than a Gold basin or some other L4.

Re: [meteorite-list] puzzling Putorana
Hello, All I was just looking at my sample of iron from Disco Island. It weighs about 350 gr. and is about the size of a handball. I ground a corner off to have a better look at its structure and found it looks more like a silicated iron meteorite with a continuous field of iron surrounding small blebs of gray silicates. I would guess 90% iron and 10% silicates. My slice of Putorana is about 50/50 iron /silicates. I do recall seeing a sample of iron in basalt from Germany that looked a lot like Putorana.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Meteorite
Mohamed, I am so envious! How can I be like you. I go out to the desert and look for weeks at a time and all I can find are terrestrial rocks. After thirty years I still haven't found a real meteorite. But you go out and find meteorite after meteorite. And yours are not just common chondrites or even rarer Irons but you found Martians, Lunars, and even the first sedimentary meteorite. I am so envious, boy I would give a lot to find just one common meteorite!

Re: [meteorite-list] My First Piece
Hello List My name is Fred Olsen and I am a consulting geologist. Currently I teach Geology at Metro State College of Denver. I have been collecting meteorites since a traveling rock salesman stopped at my (I was 25% owner) rock shop "The Quarry" in Gainesville, Florida in the spring of 1969. This gentleman ( I wish I knew his name) had just driven in an old stationwagon from Mexico with a load of minerals from the mines and a box of fresh meteorites from the Pueblito de Allende to sell. Even though at the time I was a graduate student in geology, his meteorites were the first I was able to hold and study up close. I bought a 150gm complete stone for about $10. For over fifteen years it was my favorite rock. I didn't know where to get any more meteorites so I didn't get my second meteorite until I moved to Denver in 1985 and I met Bob Haag and David New. The next ones cost a little more. - Original Message - From: Rob and Colleen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: meteorite-list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 6:16 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] My First Piece > Hello all- > > The list seems a bit quiet as the holidays end, associations begin, and > Tucson draws near.
