Re: [meteorite-list] Very Rare NWA2828
Hi Dirk and List, I will be at the Tucson Show for just a few short days this year, from February 1st through the 4th. I will only be entering some material in Michael Blood's auction (one piece of NWA 2828 and 20 other great items). I will be bringing my new Martian meteorite, NWA 4468, well at least the 353 gram main mass for Show-n-Tell. You thought the 3-D video and slice photos were cool, wait until you see this in person. I brought a slice to Denver and showed a couple of people who can vouch at the beauty of this unusual Martian. I think Mike Farmer already said something to the effect. I hope to have the official classification next week when the most recent numbers are compiled. Hope to see old friends and meet those who I haven't met in person yet.

[meteorite-list] NWA 2828 EL3 Fossil Meteorite and Pairings
on the find site in Western Sahara indicates that these stones were excavated from a subsurface deposit, and we have found terrestrial rhyolite pebbles and sandy matrix attached to several NWA 2828 stones (see images at http://www.ess.washington.edu/meteoritics). Thus this is a rare example of a paleo-meteorite or fossil meteorite. Some stones contain sparse (5 vol.%) but very distinct round, radial pyroxene chondrules (up to 3 mm across), as well as rounded, fine-grained aggregates (up to 6 mm across) rich in either enstatite or sodic plagioclase. Remnant Na-Al-Si-rich glass is present within cavities in chondrules, both between enstatite blades and in annular zones. The matrix contains pervasive 0.2-0.5 mm cavities with coatings of calcite and minor halite and gypsum. Iron sulfate (after troilite), jarosite, an inhomogeneous (possibly amorphous) phase rich in Fe, Cr, Si, Ca, Ti, P, S and Cl, minor native sulfur and silica also are present, and brown Fe-rich rinds on one stone contain up to 6.5 wt.% Ni. These secondary minerals signify terrestrial alteration of primary metal, sulfides, phosphides, nitrides and glass in an ancient fluvial and/or acidic lacustrine environment. The dominant primary phase in NWA 2828 is enstatite (En98.4Wo1.4), which forms stubby prismatic grains (lacking polysynthetic twinning indicative of inverted clinoenstatite [cf., 1]). Our original classification was based on a very small specimen of an apparently igneous-textured rock, but the discovery of chondrules and the absence of twinned enstatite now suggests that it is instead an unequilibrated enstatite chondrite. Additional primary phases noted previously [1] are sodic plagioclase (An14-15Or3-4), troilite, graphite, daubreelite, alabandite, oldhamite, schreibersite and very rare kamacite. The well-formed, round chondrules containing glass coupled with the unrecrystallized matrix lead us to re-classify NWA 2828 as an EL3 chondrite. We also must revise our opinion [1] about the relationship between NWA 2828 and material classified as EL chondrites NWA 2965 and NWA 2736, which evidently come from the more extensively weathered top of the same conglomerate layer as NWA 2828. [1] Irving A.J. et al. (2006) 69th Met. Soc. Mtg., #5264 (MAPS 41 Suppl., A84) I hope this helps everyone with this most unusual meteorite. It was a fun and frustrating one to classify.

Re: [meteorite-list] 2007 Peoples Choice Harvey Award Nominee
Hi Steve, Geoff, Mark, The People's Choice Award is pretty simple to figure out who would be a winner each year. Everyone, as a single person, has a single vote and should vote for someone (or pair, group, etc.) he or she thinks is deserving of the award. Simply add up the votes and whoever has the most, wins. I don't think it should require a round-table emergency meeting and rules to figure out. I suggested it last year, as Mark graciously pointed out earlier, as a fun thing to do and suggested Steve and Geoff since they would not nominate themselves for a well deserved award of their own. So, please do not make it a painful, political thing. As we learned long ago in business school, K.I.S.S., Keep It Simple Stupid. That is, do not ruin a fun thing with a bunch of rules. There can be 600 nominations and if one person has two votes and the rest only one, simple math, the majority of the People think so-and-so should get it. My thoughts...

I asked Michael to repost my email to you, him and the list that never made it to the list for some reason??? But would you do that for me, so the list can see what all I said? Steve Michael, Mark, List, To say that this week is the busiest week that both Geoff and I have had all year would probably be an understatement. Therefore I am sorry it has taken so long for either of us to write in on this topic. (After all, Mark's first post was made a whopping 23 hours ago). I have read the posts about the 2007 People's Choice Harvey Awards, as Geoff has (at least some of them). I took some time to chat with both Geoff and Anne Black a little tonight on the subject, and we have agreed that we need to have some type of rules put in place ASAP. At the very least we need to define how many nominations max (if there is a limit) there should be each year (last year there were 3 nominations), how the nomination process should work, how many awards there should be given each year (last year there were 3 given), and how the voting should be handled. Does everyone in the IMCA get a vote? Or everyone on the list? Or only the previous Harvey Award winners? Does anyone nominated automatically win? Or do we pass out ballots at the party and the vote is made, tabulated and announced all the evening of the awards? Then of course we need to decide if the results of the voting should be kept secret until the awards are given so that it would be a surprise, for both the winner(s) as well as the guests at the party? If only the previous Harvey Award winners get to vote, or if the vote is take at the party, then it might be possible to keep even those nominated a secret to doubly keep the results a surprise to the winner(s). Having given out a good number of Harvey Awards over the last few years, the feed back that comes back to Geoff and I more often than any other by the recipient is I didn't expect this at all, what a surprise and an honor it was. Personally, I feel we would cheat the recipient of this gift of surprise if the results were posted ahead of time publicly. Maybe there is no way to avoid this with the People's Choice, but I would hope there is. Of course, last year, since Geoff and I controlled the nominating and selection process, the only way to usurp our control was with an outright public rebellion. The surprise was gone for us by the party time, although the honor was still appreciated. With last year being unique, there really wasn't a choice on how it was done. However, for future People's Choice awards, we still do have some choices. Anyway, for formality sakes, I too agree to the nomination of Bernd! While I won't go so far as to say no one else in the world deserves to win a People's Choice Harvey more than Bernd does, because it is not my place to say that, as it is the place of the votes that will be cast to determine that; I do whole heartedly support his nomination. Expect Geoff, Anne, and I (as well as a few others) to get together on this subject, probably over the next week or so. (There is nothing important happening next week is there?) Whatever is decided, we should have plenty of time to implement the decision(s) before the Awards are given out on February 2nd. Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

Hi Dave, Simply meant to say that if one person received more votes than any other individual, they have more votes than the rest (not combined). Lets say that I give you one vote and nobody else does and Bernd currently has, say, 30 votes, he wins by having more votes. I thought it was simple, but too much thought is being inserted into it. I give up, do as you will, say as you must, vote for who you trust... It is supposed to be fun so lets try and leave it that way.

This is more because of the commercial aspect then the scientific aspect. Usually a meteorite with a 3 will sell for several times what a 5-6 sells for. Then again, I guess petro 3 chondrites don't command the dollar they did 5 years ago, so maybe this doesn't matter to anyone other then me. I would hate to see some future scientist or student grab an L5 piece of NWA 869 and an H5 part of Dimmitt and create some paper of type 3 chondrites. On NWA 2965, or whatever name is eventually gets I was pretty much ignoring the classification as I am not sure how final the EL3 is, or more so, how it will appear in the Met. Bul. So I guess I like what Weir has labeled the meteorite. (http://www.meteoritestudies.com/protected_NWA2965.HTM) The light grey/blue lithology material - while typically referred to as the 'fresher' material by Moroccan sources is apparently the more aqueously altered of the two lithologies. Interesting, I would have guessed along with the Moroccan dealers. Especially since you do not see the oxidized metal veining in the lighter material. Maybe I should run my larger slice under water for a couple days...;^) Thanks for the neat auction. I will be giving away the pieces I accidently broke off shortly and trying to sell the meteorite next week at half pricejust joking.

Re: [meteorite-list] EL's, Collections, etc.
Hi Stan and EL enthusiasts, This is truly a weird meteorite (NWA 2828 and related enstatites). It seems to defy all logic making it one of the most interesting ones I have had the privilege to encounter. I supplied the latest scientific abstract which describes the weathering effects to some point so that is the best I can do. I am simply a middle man bringing these rarities to the collecting community by way of the nomads and through the scientists. I can truly say that, (if I had grand kids), I would have one hell of a story to tell later on in life! Happy Holidays and Happy Hunting!!!

Greg - are you reffering to the darker of the 'blue' lithology or the darker of the material period? The last i hurd the dark - ie brown material is less weathered - it still has the oxide veining intact. the 'blue' material has had all of the metal (oxides) leached out through repetitive wetting via salt water. there seems to be a continuum of 'blue' lithology material ranging from very light in color almost off white to a dingy brownish blue. some of the more weathered stones have a rind of black material on the outside that represents all of the metals that have been elached out. _ Stay up-to-date with your friends through the Windows Live Spaces friends list. http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwsp007001msn/direct/01/?href=http://spaces.live.com/spacesapi.aspx?wx_action=createwx_url=/friends.aspxmk __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi Mark, List, Mark, excellent links to some great abstracts. I will spend some time this weekend going over them. There is one more out there that is part of an abstract but I have not announced yet. We are waiting for the terrestrial age (not same as NWA 2828 and pairings).

Hello Mike, The meteorite was recovered after the finder responded to a want ad put up by a member of the Kansas Meteorite Society. The finder was out hunting (pheasant or quail IMO) and thought he heard something fall in some trees near him. A couple days later the hunter returns to the location and finds the meteorite, which appears to be very fresh. Jerry is the better person to ask on the details as he was more involved in the transaction then I was and it was six months ago, so take this as a third hand recollection. No one seen it fall and it didn't hit any man made items so it is not a fall, although it looks fresh enough to be one.

Tranquillityite was first identified in the interstitial, last crystallizing regions (mesostasis) of Apollo 11 mare basalts. The Total Known Weight of NWA 4472 was just 64.3 grams in a single complete stone. After the type sample was submitted, cutting/polishing losses and leaving a sizable 35.3 gram main mass, there is not much available to collectors. I have just put all that is available on eBay, which is only 10 specimens, most with Buy it Now at a very reasonable rate considering the rare minerals, features and the low TKW, along with no other pairings.

Re: [meteorite-list] Poll Results
Hi Walter, Perfect timing. The few have spoken and we have listened. I was going to post my results later today but may as well do now also. Of the replies I received, the majority want to know what is going on and appreciate and learn by the exchanges, as uneasy and often times negative as they are. The most prominent statement from each person was the fact they would like to have classified material WITH a name or number (NWA, DAG, DHOFAR, etc.) offered instead of possibly paired to... and the like. If the material has been properly classified and is officially paired to whatever by a lab, then that is what they strongly want by their emails to me. The other prominent statement was that they do not like the obvious coat-tailing, using of other's classified names/numbers, etc. The terms of Lazy and Reckless were two common words used in association to these offenders they mention in their emails. I couldn't agree more. The main and most important phrase was to ...let the scientists do the pairing and not these lazy freeloaders I had one person suggest I be more clear in my emails during these exchanges and another suggest I tone it down a notch. I appreciate their honesty and forwardness that I asked for. In conducting the poll as did you Walter, I feel I have learned from it and will work harder on self improvement which I normally do anyway. It is good to have constructive criticism when necessary, and I welcome it at any time (in private is usually best at first if needed).

Re: [meteorite-list] What to do with meteorite dust
Dear Tracy and List Members, I have been saving all of our cutting dust for many years, just waiting for the right project in mind. I have an idea that I mentioned to a few people years ago in what I will be doing with the more common dust (a mix of ordinary chondrites, test cuts, etc.) and then also similar ways with the more rare material I have, but that will have to wait until I settle down a little, stay at home and start an old hobby in which to use the material. All of this talk about the cutting dust almost makes me want to start some test samples of this hobby soon. Who knows, maybe this will speed me up and not wait until I'm in the rocking chair... For those who hate the idea of cutting meteorites, well, if they weren't cut and a type sample supplied to scientists, the meteorite scientific and collector communities would not be where they are today without all of the help from the private sector.

If you have a quantity of mixed meteoric dust, why not mix it with resin and make a solid block of meteorite-dust-impregnated plastic? Something like that would still have the cachet of meteorite, but be much less of a loss to science, and you could still carve it, form it, create all kinds of neato stuff.

The dig Monday was likely the most documented excavation yet of a meteorite find, with researchers painstakingly using brushes and hand tools in order to preserve evidence of the impact trail and to date the event of the meteorite strike. Soil samples were also bagged and tagged, and organic material preserved for dating purposes. Even before they had the meteorite out of the ground, the scientific experts at the site were able to debunk prevailing wisdom that the spectacular Brenham meteorite fall occurred 20,000 years ago. Its location in the Pleistocene epoch soil layer puts that date closer to 10,000 years ago. We know it is recent, said Carolyn Sumners, director of Astronomy at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, as she surveyed progress on the dig. Native Americans could have seen it. The scientific expedition of the meteorite strewn field in western Kansas was put together by the Houston Museum of Natural Science and led by meteorite hunters Steve Arnold and Philip Mani. Johnson Space Center's Lunar and Planetary Institute, the Rice Space Institute at Rice University and George Observatory in Houston also sent researchers. Fewer than 1 percent of the meteorites discovered on earth are pallasite meteorites, known for their crystals embedded in iron, Mani said. Sophisticated metal detectors at the site initially detected what had been thought to be the largest pallasite meteorite ever discovered. But ground penetrating radar showed that object to be a steel cable. But with about a dozen potential targets on the site, the team still uncovered a sizeable pallasite buried four feet under the ground and located a quarter of a mile from where Arnold and Mani found the world's largest pallasite meteorite a year ago. The newest find weighs 154 lbs and measures 18 by 12 by 12, which is bigger than most such meteorites but on par for this particular field, Arnold said. What is unique is not the size, but the fact it was found in context, said Patricia Reiff, director of the Rice Space Institute. Researchers documented every aspect of the dig from various scientific disciplines. Among them were an archaeologist, a paleontologist, a naturalist, geologists, astronomers, and even an animator, who recreated the meteor fall for the museum. But few garnered as much attention as Essam Heggy, planetary scientist at the Johnson Space Center's Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. It was his ground penetrating technology that pinpointed the site and proved for the first time that the technology could be used to find objects buried deep in the ground and to make an accurate three-dimensional image of them. It validates the technique so we can use something similar to that instrument when we go to Mars, Reiff said. Such GPR systems had been used in the past to locate smaller meteorites in Antarctica where ice allows easier penetration of the sonar. But until the Kansas dig, the technology had not been successfully used for ground detection in heavy soils, like what might be encountered in Mars, to find meteorites or water there. When we find a piece of meteorite, each one is a new sentence we add to the book to understand the evolution of the solar system, Heggy said. The Brenham field was discovered in 1882. Scientists have since traced pieces of the shower as far away as Indian mounds in Ohio, indicating the meteorites were traded as pieces of jewelry and ceremonial artifacts. The site was largely forgotten in recent decades until Arnold and Mani leased eight square miles of it and began looking deep below the surface. More than 15,000 pounds of meteorites have been recovered from the Brenham fall, with about a third of them found by the two men in the past year, Mani said. About three dozen meteorites have been pulled from the field by their Brenham Meteorite Co. This week's find will end

Re: [meteorite-list] [ebay] ending in about 2 days
Hello Stan and List, To set the record straight, I DID NOT get my NWA 2999 material from Aaronson. I had mine well before him and in the labs before anyone. Don't mind the lower NWA number you may have, just an older set of numbers NAU had. Ask Ted, he will set you straight. I have no worries of you or anyone flooding the market. You obviously do not know me at all. I am not concerned with all of that, just doing what I enjoy and the right thing, waiting for the scientists to do a proper job, and am quite simply tired of coat-tailers like yourself. I have heard from collectors privately on how they feel of your types and how it effects the meteorite community, collectors and the science of it all. I go through too much effort to go the distance to get the proper information concerning any meteorite I offer. Sometimes this takes much work going to Morocco, Western Sahara, or where ever, just to have your types get the wrong information and run with it as if you were running a quarter mile race instead of the bigger picture. I go to Morocco on average just about every six weeks so I know what is going on there. Don't assume that because you have someone from the Denver Show mail you some rocks that you know what the scoop is. If you are not in such a big hurry to offer your material, why not wait until you have your full classifications, numbers and then you can confidently offer your classified material to the world. Enough time wasted on this subject that has been hashed out time and time again, usually by the cause of such lazy and all-too-quick people eager to release a new meteorite.

Re: [meteorite-list] [ebay] ending in about 2 days
Hello Stan, Your eBay ad started on October 9th where you clearly stated ...There is no offical word on pairings yet - this is an assumption on my part..., (you added Aarosnon's number a few days after you started your auction without proper lab confirmation and NWA number). And again Stan, Adam Aaronson did NOT supply me with my NWA 2999 material. Where do you get this misinformation? Ask Adam Aaronson, he and I had a fine conversation earlier this year as to when he got his material, after I had mine already in the lab for quite some time and very well studied by Drs Irving, Kuehner and others before additional material surfaced at NAU. I do not understand you. Just be patient, get the details straight and a license to drive before you go roaring out of the gates. I hear coat-tailing, plagiarism, stealing of ideas, descriptions and all of the like are a form of flattery, please keep from flattering me so much, it is getting very annoying to say the least!

Blaine Reed thinks that this stone looks EXACTLY like your material. Adam Aaronson (the original source for ALL of this material AFIK) thinks this stone looks EXACTLY like your material. At least one scientist I have spoken with thinks that this material looks EXACTLY like your material. on the subject of nwa 3133/1839 - you had said that the reason for your belief that the stones were not paired was based upon new isotopse analysis (other than oxygen) do you have any actual data that you can share that will back up your claim? I'd be most interested in it. FWIW claims about pairings on this stone/2999 and on 1839/3133 were not my own - In both cases I have put forth all the avalible information I have on the material as well as citing the source of the claim in question. From: Adam Hupe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stan, Nowhere in your auction did you say that a provisional number was assigned. It is simple, use your own NWA numbers from now on whether they are provisional or not. It is dangerous to make pairing statements, let the scientists do their job in this regard and make it formal. You made pairing statements in the past that were found to be in error (NWA 1839/3133) and this new item looks nothing like any piece of NWA 2999 I have seen so I can understand Greg's concern. Greg went through the trouble of removing a type sample from each of the 12 stones just to make sure what he is offering is the real deal.

[meteorite-list] Information and Behavior Consensus
Dear Walter and List Members, Walter asks if anyone is interested in reading about these exchanges in which List members sometimes get in heated, educated, informational or passionate debates publicly. I for one feel it is an important part and duty of any List member to bring to light anything that is questionable, unethical or in poor business tactics to light, publicly. Would you rather have informed members keep their heads in the sand if they see something wrong happening? Walter asks members to email him privately if anyone actually reads these posts ...other than the parties directly involved... in order to ask if you want to be left in the dark and consider self-paired or partially classified material. I, too, am very interested in hearing all of your thoughts and would appreciate your emails to me privately as well. Like I stated in one of my recent emails, I am in Morocco and surrounding areas all of the time so I know what is going on. I am in constant contact, usually by phone, with the scientists I work with (and many of you). I see wrong doings at the shows and inform the parties of what I know for fact. Some appreciate this and others do not care, typically a Moroccan dealer and continue to openly make their own self pairings from what has recently been released or will put $$$ in their pockets no matter who it hurts. This goes for some other dealers as well. I am not trying to police anything, only point out what I have gone through in order to properly classify material that I offer to the meteorite community. So, please send me your thoughts as well. If you want us to stay silent and let the wrong-doers do what they do, fine, I will do as you wish unless it is a blatant wrongful act. I would also like to know why I go the lengths I go through in order to have what I offer exhaustively analyzed, sometimes up to three years, and travel to the places where the material is collected by nomads. I , like Walter, will keep all of your emails completely private and will post the collective findings to the List in a single post. Your thoughts are needed, no matter how constructive or hateful, will be helpful to get a proper consensus. Email me even if you and I have never spoken, emailed or met before. It is a time for change in the behaviors of the coat-tailers or for those of us who expose them. If you do not speak now, you will not be heard and positive change will not happen. I respect your time and will greatly appreciate your input.

Dear Stan and List Members, Stan wrote: ...an angrite slice paired to nwa 2999/3164 that shows off translucent augite... Stan, this looks like very bad business ethics in a few ways, especially in undermining collector confidence in what YOU sell. Your eBay title reads, new NWA angrite meteorite possible NWA 2999/3164 pairs. This appears to be more self-pairing, are you a scientist? What is YOUR NWA number that was assigned to this material which actually looks like your ureilite a while back you claimed as pallasite-like (now that phrase sounds familiar!!). When I discovered NWA 2999 (the real McCoy!), there were only 12 complete stones in which I cut every single one of them and provided material to have thin sections made to determine they were all paired, which they were. Here is a link to a photo of those twelve OFFICIAL NWA 2999 stones: http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa2999/nwa2999a.jpg (notice how they are all flat on bottom where I cut a piece off for thin sections). There were however, a couple additional potential angrite stones that proved not to be angrite material so you need to have the scientists do their job and get an officially assigned NWA number for your material, whatever it may be. This needs to be done with all suspected meteorites, especially as rare and important as an angrite! In your eBay ad you state the material was purchased for you from someone at the Denver Show, most likely a Moroccan who made the pairing is my guess and we know what happens when you go strictly by their word, or even anyone else such as yourself in this case. Do the right thing, get it analyzed by a lab and have an NWA number assigned, the meteorite community deserves this of ALL of this type of thing. I see the coat-tailing happening again, not just with you, but with other self-made scientists who do not do the right thing.

They run a magnet with a sticky substance on it all over a supposed Nantan in one auction. If this were a real iron meteorite, the magnet would jump out of there hands. In another auction, they zoom in on light colored objects claiming they are chondrules. This reminds me of the Shirokovsky pallasite webpage images complete with divers and a poor story where every stone weighed exactly 50 kilograms, the size of a crucible. I remember you could not make out any the faces of the hunters on this web presence, I wonder why? This new group is brash enough to think that meteorite collectors are stupid enough to jump all over a $28,000.00 Earth rock.

[meteorite-list] NWA 4482 Pallasite TKW Update
Dear List Members, I announced a new Saharan pallasite, NWA 4482, last week and indicated there was one stone which weighed 232 grams. That was the case at the time of classification. I received a package this week that had another 5 kilos that are part of NWA 4482. My Moroccan partners indicated they thought the material may be the same before sending to me, but you never know until you go there and see the material or receive a package from them. This brings the total known weight of NWA 4482 to 5816 grams. Since I had cut the original stone and polished the pieces, then offered on eBay, all have sold. I loaded the new pieces and adjusted the description if you would like to review the new description and see what the uncut material looks like. I see that several pieces have already sold at a lower price due to lack of cutting or polishing losses so if you want to see the complete stones, you may want to check them out quickly. If they are gone before you get a chance to check them out under my seller name, NaturesVault, just type in NWA 4482 Meteorite in the search part of eBay to see the ended items for the pictures. To anyone who purchased the original polished slices, Thank You and if you have any questions or concerns about the TKW adjustment, please email me off list and we can discuss anything you may want to know. I appreciate your business and am only keeping the weights and other information accurate as I get it.

[meteorite-list] AD - New Pallasite - NWA 4482 - COOL!
Dear List Members, I have been getting some of my long-awaited classifications in and can now start to offer some of them, just not all at once. Most are incredibly rare so I was willing to take the proper time to let the scientists do their thing. This week I would like to offer a new and interesting Saharan pallasite, NWA 4482. It was classified at the University of Washington. The total weight of a single stone I got was just 232 grams. I cut a few slices and polished them on one side which is a delicate task as much of the metal has been replaced with accessory minerals gluing the crystals and matrix together. I wasn't able to get any complete slices from this stone but the part slices are very cool. The crystals are best viewed under a microscope and show a rainbow of iridescent colors. This makes around four desert pallasites to date. I put all 17 pieces I had on eBay under my seller name, NaturesVault.

[meteorite-list] Re: New Rare EL 3 Paleo Meteorite NWA 2828
Hi Sonny and List, Like Sonny said, it was hard to tell this was a meteorite in the field, literally or in a dark room in Morocco. When I first encountered it in Morocco, I wasn't sure it was a meteorite but took a gamble on some stones. Meteorite or not, I wouldn't get my money back if it was terrestrial. This is part of the process of acquiring rare and incredible meteorites. I have a whole garden full of terrestrial stones I bought as gamble stones in Morocco that I have a small fortune invested in. On the other hand, if I did not take gambles on odd stones, than I would not be lucky enough to retrieve several planetary stones, ultra-rare achondrites such as angrites, brachinites, ungrouped meteorites and of course this odd EL3, NWA 2828, to name a few. It is a lot of fun but frustrating at the same time. Some times the rare meteorites will fool you and sometimes the Moroccans themselves will. Only experience will show you the difference! Happy hunting, hope to see all who are attending the Denver Show.

It does show some nice chondrules of various sizes. It would be hard to tell in the field that this was even a meteorite. I took my field magnet and tested the meteorite and nothing. I also looked for signs of visible fusion crust or regmaglypts. The only indicator that this might be a meteorite were the tiny chondrules on the exterior of the meteorite. I would encourage any of the desert hunters to get a piece of this meteorite to help with field identification. If I had not seen this meteorite and came across one in the field I would have thrown it away without any hesitation. Thanks, Sonny Check out the new AOL.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD - New Rare EL3 Paleo-Meteorite - NWA 2828
Dear Jeff and other NWA 2828 EL3 enthusiasts, paleo-meteorite or fossil meteorite? That is the question... In a short conversation with one of the lead scientists who have and are studying NWA 2828 and the other recent enstatite meteorites, they referred to 2828 as a paleo-meteorite instead of fossil meteorite so people would not think they referred to ancient life being found in it. The term fossil meteorite has been used to describe several ancient meteorites that were found in rocks or sediments; a 480 million year old quarried Swedish limestone, a meteorite found in a drillcore through the impact melt sheet of the 145 million year old Morokweng Crater, to name a couple. The word fossil in geology has the strong connotation as evidence of life but literally means dug up. The prefix paleo- means ancient, so a paleo-meteorite would be an ancient meteorite. That term does not necessarily mean that it was excavated nor does it say how old it is, but sedimentary processes on earth tend to bury objects on the surface after tens to hundreds of thousands of years. It definitely was transported and abraded by water flow, then buried and cemented into a terrestrial conglomerate and then dug up. In short, the best way to describe NWA 2828 is either fossil meteorite or paleo-meteorite but has nothing to do with ancient life. Terrestrial age dating is currently being performed and a new abstract has been submitted. I hope this answers some of the questions this new and exciting meteorite has brought up. Best regards, Greg P.S. I loaded several more slices of NWA 2828 if anyone wants to have a look.

EL3's are even rarer than aubrites so the re-classification turned out to a pleasant surprise. What is interesting about NWA 2828 is the very low count of chondrules throughout the individual stones, less than 1%!

Re: [meteorite-list] AD - New Rare EL3 Paleo-Meteorite - NWA 2828
Hi Jeff and Everyone interested, Please have a look at one of my eBay descriptions where I detail out much of the new information that has come to light since the original NWA 2828 abstract. Here is a direct link to one of the additional slices that has the description: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemih=008item=180025590938rd=1sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AITrd=1 The new abstract details things even more, including that fact that there were 125 stones found. The original amount was 36, then after the classification was made, the additional material came to light and was being prepared and another type sample was submitted. This is when the radial pyroxene chondrules were found. I submitted 87 grams to the different labs in order to crack this difficult nut! Again, the abstract will reveal more when it is out. I will let the scientists have that honor, but like I said, my eBay description has most of that information widdled down for easier reading and understanding. One of the benefits of going to Morocco just about every month and investigating these things and obtaining new material is that we can decipher the unknowns and get to the bottom of it all to the best of our abilities. Science is science and I believe it is open to debate when new evidence comes to light. I feel this is a good and healthy discussion we are having despite the comics who chime in.

The MetBull entry says that 36 stones were found. Was there a meteorite-rich layer found in a rock outcrop? Why didn't this get reported? If it ever got transported in a stream, I'm surprised 36 stones were found in one place. Can you tell us the rest of the story? I have no problem with the term fossil meteorite. There are many similar uses of the term fossil in the earth sciences where it is not referring to former life. However, I would think the term should be reserved for cases of meteorites actually found in a rock or very old sediments. Lots of meteorite finds are discovered below the surface in soil or recent sediments (like Brenham!), or in stream beds, but nobody calls them fossil meteorites. Others have clearly been below the surface at one time (like every Antarctic meteorite), but nobody calls them fossil meteorites either. So let's hear the whole story!

At that time I received a 1 mg specimen which is still displayed on my NWA 011 webpage (http://meteoritestudies.com/protected_NWA011.HTM). In June of this year I was given a nice sized crusted specimen 560 times larger, now also displayed on my webpage. When I received this nice chunk there were three other smaller fragments that had been detached at some point in its history (now I sound like another list member). I had considered these pieces to be scientifically significant since they were so large in my perspective compared to my initial 1 mg specimen -- they weigh 40, 51, and 72 mg. Now that there are several large paired stones from this fall I no longer consider these fragments to be of any significance except to my fellow collectors who have none. Since I was kindly gifted these pieces, I am offering two of them to two lucky list members for no charge, and I will pay the shipping and include a 38mm membrane box container. The two faces of the first offering, the 0.051 g piece, with one side of fusion crust, is shown at the following link: http://meteoritestudies.com/GIVE011.JPG The second specimen I will give is the smaller 0.040 g piece, which also has a fusion crusted side. I did not scan this piece but it's appearance is similar to that shown above. Now, I don't know who among you would be excited to add a NWA 011 micromount to their collection, rather than ebaying it for a quick $52 profit (e.g., Greg Hupe infers his 530 g paired stone could sell for upwards of $1,000/g). Therefore, I will request an e-mail telling me a little something of your collection intentions, just a short paragraph or two at most. I never participated in this kind of stupid essay-based contest myself, but I do see its value in a situation such as this.

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 011 micro contest
Dear David, Doug and List, NWA 011 was a mere 40 grams, then came NWA 2400 at 136 grams. After that came NWA 2976 at 219 grams and last but not least, the largest one to date, my 530 gram pairing. As each stone has been discovered (or brought to market), the size seems to double each time so I hardly think the original asking price would be appropriate, that is why I am asking for offers. I believe it is a fair way to do it for anyone who may be interested. On that note, if I do end up cutting it to offer slices to collectors, I would like to hear from anyone who is interested in a slice and what you think the whole stone and/or slices should be priced at. Please do this off list as I do not want this tying up the list bandwidth and annoying those who are not interested.

I was laughed out of Terry Boswell's Tucson room when I told him that $300/g was a fair price after he and his partner Farrell proposed 10 times that amount per gram for me ($1000 for a third gram to be specific). I did hear he reduced his price to $2000/g after that. It seems that's generally the rule though, 'wait for the initial prices to fall', as they most often do. Maybe some of you newer collectors can take advantage of this often learned lesson from some of us longtime collectors who sometimes spent more than we needed to.

[meteorite-list] 3-D Video of 530g NWA 011 Pairing
Dear List Members, I have been experimenting with a new digital camera I just got and made a 3-D video of the 530-gram pairing to NWA 011. Here is the link to an AVI file that can be viewed with Media Player or other software that supports the AVI format: http://www.lunarrock.com/gh-231/gh-231video.avi Give it time to load as the file is somewhat large but worth the look.

Hi Darren and List, Thanks Darren for the compliment. I have been at it all day and evening. I had to make the gadgets and figure out a new camera, then experiment with lighting, background colors, file size, etc. I have a 40mb file that flows nicer than this 9mb and is in 640x480 mode so the image is larger but it takes forever to load.

[meteorite-list] AD - NWA 011 Pairing Offers Wanted - eBay Auctions Ending 2 Days
Dear List Members, I am still considering offers for my 530 gram pairing to NWA 011 for another week. It represents the largest stone in this group. If you want to make an offer, now is the time to do it. You never know, I may accept your offer so do not be bashful! Here is the original post from last week regarding this offer: I am sure everyone has heard of NWA 011 and its pairings NWA 2400 and NWA 2976. NWA 011 was originally thought to be from Mercury by Japanese scientists in 2000 but since then it has been classified as ungrouped, very cool all the same. I have a 530 gram pairing that I acquired a few months ago which took several months of negotiating to bring back from Morocco. I would like to try and find a home for it intact. I am considering offers for a couple of weeks and if I accept one, then we can do a couple things; 1) Keep it intact and not have an NWA assigned but will come with a written statement from the scientists at the University of Washington who examined it determining the pairing, 2) Cut the stone and supply a 20 gram type sample to have an NWA assigned or 3) If I do not receive an adequate offer to cover my costs than I will cut it, submit a type sample and have an NWA number assigned, then offer slices at a very competitive rate (One of the pairings was recently being offered at $1,000.00 per gram). Here is a link to a photo of the 530 gram complete stone: http://www.lunarrock.com/gh-231/gh-231.jpg If you are interested in making an offer or have any questions, please email me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I should be able to make a decision by September 8th, just before the Denver Mineral Show. I have several excellent eBay auctions ending in a couple days. There are the last four specimens of my new CO 3.2, NWA 4441, several 1-kilo lots of unclassified material, planetary meteorites and just too many cool things to list here. To see all that I have currently available, go to eBay and search for items by seller, NaturesVault. Best regards and Thank You for looking and/or bidding, Greg P.S.

Re: [meteorite-list] Micro/Macromount Availability- Where did they Go?
Hello Mike, Tracy and List, I've already emailed Mike directly but since two members have openly brought it up, I am more than willing to combine shipping on eBay sales. I often let people wait two or three weeks in order to build up items to combine the shipping, making the $4.05 Priority charge worth it to them. My preferred way of shipping within the US is by Priority Mail because of the added protection the Priority box provides. I ship in a standard brown box overseas. I am more than happy to send a few small items in a padded envelope at the customers request and responsibility (that meaning if they insist that a particular item be shipped in an envelope against my suggestion of a box). I will not ship fragile or thin slices in a padded envelope, however. I think this is pretty much what the majority of the eBay sellers would do. Basically, a simple email before bidding asking if a certain item, or items, can be shipped in a padded envelope is all it takes.

I agree with you on the micromount issue. There are a couple of notable major Ebay sellers (who shall remain nameless) who are happy to combine shipping very reasonably, but if you only win 1 or 2 of their micros, it gets pricy pretty fast, especially when the postage makes up a substantial proportion of the total. They aren't exactly overcharging for shipping, but the $4+ cost of Priority postage for 1 micro is definitely a factor on my purchasing.

Re: [meteorite-list] Micro/Macromount Availability- Where did they Go?
Hello Mike, I disagree with your comment, Anyone who charges $4.00 shipping for a micro in the USA is ripping off their customers. They are just trying to make money on the shipping. If my description has Priority Shipping of $4.05 clearly written and that is what I pay for the stamp, no one is getting ripped off or intentionally try to make extra money. As I stated in my previous post, bidders simply need to ask that items be shipped in a padded envelope and/or to combine items to save on shipping - Prior, During or After the transaction. I firmly believe in the box for extra shipping protection, but ultimately it is up to the customer. That's my last on this simple discussion regarding shipping practices.

He is still in Norway, and asked me to post the following news on his behalf: Mike, Morton, and Robert Ward found a nice fresh specimen for the new fall last night. Mike says it is a very fragile carbonaceous chondrite with tiny chondrules, less than 1/2 mm across. The stone broke upon impact and the team recovered a number of pieces. Mike met with the curators of the Norwegian Natural History museum who researched the question of exporting meteorites from Norway. Mike was pleased to report that there are no laws prohibiting their find from leaving the country. Mike will post details to the List as soon as he gets a reliable internet connection. That's all I have for now. Mike is still in the field. Big congrats to Mike, Morton, and Robert. There aren't many people who can say they've found a fresh carbonaceous chondrite fall!

Dear List Members, The remaining Dhofar lunar specimens we currently have on eBay are ending shortly if you are interested. Below are the direct links to these available under my eBay seller name, NaturesVault. I had stated in my email when I first listed these on the 18th that I would be out of the country and I had several List members ask if I was going to Norway. Unfortunately no, but fortunately I had made previous plans to go back to Morocco after a two week breather from my last trip there. More on that later...

Dr. Lauretta was on vacation, but I was able to get ahold of Marvin. Marvin informed me they are far from ready to be able to do analysis in a timely manor and, while that is a definite future goal, until other aspects of the Center are developed there will not be any reasonable classification system set up. So, while this is a goal for the center, it is not now available to the meteoritic community - and when it will be available is quite unclear due to uncertainty of when funding will become available. The core goal of the center will be to build a permanent repository and display of meteorites that represent all typologies and preserve them for all time. When funding is in place, the analysis system will definitely be a priority and a core component of the center.

Many are priced below their counterparts with no paperwork whatsoever. For your consideration, below is a link showing the simple permit allowing for the removal of 150-kilograms of material from the Sultanate of Oman under which these specimens are covered. With the exception of Swiss scientists, only three of these permits were ever issued to one group of expert German hunters who took the time to obtain them. It is doubtful that any more of these permits will ever be issued again for non-scientific purposes. We will include a copy of this paperwork with each purchase so collectors can be assured of the legal status and provenance of these specimens.

To me it sounds odd that the moroccan king (The only person who's opinion really matters) would advertise such an event to the meteorite community if he figures we are all theives. I know that right now under moroccan law there is no problem exporting meteorites and that there is no reason to hide the fact from customs that you are exporting meteorites (My 400 kilo shipment a couple months ago clearly stated meteorites on the export certificate that was stamped by about 8 people at moroccan customs). This whole thing sounds fishy and yet more dreamed up scaremongering to me. However, if anybody has details please do enlighten us all more. Many people on this list (Including myself) would surely be interested in real information. Even my partners in morocco would like to know as they havent herd anything about it either.

[meteorite-list] Morocco Meteorite Meeting
Hi List, I just returned from Morocco a couple days ago and the supply of meteorites is dreadfully low, the lowest point I have seen to date. I have been going an average of every two months the last two years and have seen the downward trend for some time now. The supply is drying up! The wholesale prices are going up dramatically and with this meeting in August approaching, who knows what will happen. During this last trip I heard a couple Moroccans state that 'officials' came by asking about stones they have sold and to who. Interesting to say the least. Maybe they are compiling this info for the meeting in August to justify the need to close the borders to meteorite exportation. I also heard that artifacts such as hand axes, arrowheads, etc. has been put on the ban list recently along with large amounts of trilobites. I have not verified this info but with the behind the scenes action I have seen and/or heard about, the days are numbered for meteorites leaving Moroccan borders, whether they are from there or not.

Well, at least the gold rush is over in Northwest Africa. We will have to see if it is decided that new laws governing the export of meteorites found mostly in the surrounding countries and not in Morocco itself are needed. It seems by regulating them now that they have missed the boat. Collectors should be thankful that they once had the opportunity to add so many meteorites to their collections in such a short time, the greatest amount in history. One way or another this era is destined to end, maybe this August! It will be interesting to hear what is proposed at the August meeting in Casablanca, Morocco. We should watch the players closely and critique those harshly this time in public if what is proposed only serves to upset the balance or is too outrageously restrictive. We do not want these types of misinformed individuals (false do-gooders) adding more restrictions to our avocation. We have lost a lot of searchable ground the last decade with more countries sure to follow if nobody represents the collecting community this time.

[meteorite-list] AD - Microporphyry Ending Today and Other Great Deals
Dear List Members, Later today my exceptionally rare Microporphyry, NWA 2981, offering is ending under my eBay seller name, NaturesVault. I started it at just 99 cents and it is currently at a VERY low price. It is a new meteorite which has been classified by Dr. Ted Bunch of NAU as a Microporphyry. Basically it is an extremely rare L chondrite microporphyry impact melt meteorite that is assumed to have been ejected from its parent body during an impact event. These are typically found as clasts in ordinary chondrites and is very rare to have one as an individual meteorite as is NWA 2981. It was a mere 19 grams in a single complete, mostly crusted stone. After cutting it for the type sample and polishing the cut face, the main mass is now just 13.9 grams and represents the only specimen available to collectors.

Dear David and list, David, what Adam has stated below about Al Lang being an equal partner with us in the 58mg's of NWA 011 at the Tucson Show of 2003 is correct, I was there and was part of the transaction. Al was about to walk away at $500.00. The retail price was established at a no reserve auction and benefited us as well as Al (he was one-third owner). As far as you and Al working on the deal before Adam ,myself and Al purchased the material, then you should talk to Al about that as he never mentioned anything about you being interested in purchasing the 58mg. Al did suggest we send you a fragment of the material we had, and we did. I would say a freebie 1mg fragment out of just 58mg was a nice gesture from the three of us (Adam, myself and Al).

Dear Adam, You don't suppose this price for a NWA 011 pairing might have anything to do with you, do you? After all, it was you who interfered in a deal between myself, Al Lang, and Serge Afanisiev that I had researched for two years prior to Tucson 2003 and arranged for Al to make a deal for the filings that Serge said he had available. This was all long before you took up your short-lived partnership with Al. I'm sure you have a different take on things, but I will always feel that you turned around and bought the NWA 011 filings out from under Al, not letting him complete the deal in his intelligent way with his longtime friend. Then you sold the material at auction, and thereafter, for several hundred dollars per MILLIGRAM. Gee, thanks for making sure the price of this material stays reasonable for us collectors. In my opinion you have no right to complain about the high pricing of this material, and you should be proud of yourself that the paired find NWA 2400 was also being offered at $3000/g by Terry Boswell and his partner in crime Ron Farrell. Perhaps this new pairing will also be consistent with the high prices that YOU initiated. Thanks again. You should have stayed out of this deal of mine and Al Lang's and most likely we wouldn't be seeing these exorbitant prices for this unique basaltic eucrite-like meteorite.

Dear David, I really don't want to get into anything here, just pointing out the facts. If Al left you in the dust on the deal than that is between you and he. Adam and I did not know you and Al had talked about the material, and thus, did not interfere with YOUR material or deal. If Al had mentioned it, we would have gladly stepped aside. Since nothing was said to us by those in the know, it was simply three people buying some cool material that was made available during a show. We have no problem with you and certainly not asking for a Thank You for the gift. It sounds like there is some deeper problem that you and others need to work out.

No Greg, I feel that the entire 58 mg should have been mine and Allan's, and I think your scenario (read fantasy) is in your own mind and holds no value in my life. No hard feelings, I could care less about that fucing asteroid anymore.

Dear Adam, You don't suppose this price for a NWA 011 pairing might have anything to do with you, do you? After all, it was you who interfered in a deal between myself, Al Lang, and Serge Afanisiev that I had researched for two years prior to Tucson 2003 and arranged for Al to make a deal for the filings that Serge said he had available. This was all long before you took up your short-lived partnership with Al. I'm sure you have a different take on things, but I will always feel that you turned around and bought the NWA 011 filings out from under Al, not letting him complete the deal in his intelligent way with his longtime friend. Then you sold the material at auction, and thereafter, for several hundred dollars per MILLIGRAM. Gee, thanks for making sure the price of this material stays reasonable for us collectors. In my opinion you have no right to complain about the high pricing of this material, and you should be proud of yourself that the paired find NWA 2400 was also being offered at $3000/g by Terry Boswell and his partner in crime Ron Farrell. Perhaps this new pairing will also be consistent with the high prices that YOU initiated. Thanks again. You should have stayed out of this deal of mine and Al Lang's and most likely we wouldn't be seeing these exorbitant prices for this unique basaltic eucrite-like meteorite. Hey, and thanks for the free milligram of NWA 011 you gave me rather than, say, 4 milligrams... after all, it was MY initiation (with due credit to Norbert Classen who helped in the search for this material). Okay, I'm over it. Have a great day Adam.

[meteorite-list] NWA 3159 Plutonic Eucrite TKW Correction
Dear List Members, For those of you who have purchased the limited amount of NWA 3159, the new Plutonic Eucrite Breccia, congratulations! I was made aware of a total known weight (TKW) error on my part. When I originally wrote my eBay description several months ago, I had 336 grams but the actual is 397 grams. I apologize for my error. If any of the lucky winners want a refund for the TKW error, I will certainly do so, just let me know. I originally had just 18 specimens listed but due to quick sales and many emails requesting photos of additional specimens, I decided to put all that was available on eBay for all to see, including the small fragments. It was after listing them all that my TKW error became apparent. Again, please accept my apologies for my oversight.

[meteorite-list] Aubrite? NOT!
Hello everyone interested in the EL6 that is being confused for an aubrite. In regards to the large amount of EL6 material that is most likely paired to NWA 2736, there is one Moroccan dealer who has self analyzed this material and proclaimed it to be an aubrite paired to NWA 2736. It is most likely paired to NWA 2736 according to scientists, but it is NOT an aubrite. The mineralogy is different than aubrites. I have been in close talks with some scientists who have studied this material (and are currently studying it, along with aubrites) and here is what he writes in an email to me: ... Matteo or his sources figured out that it (latest EL material) was the same as NWA 2736 and his NWA 1067, and NONE of this is an aubrite - it's all a fairly weathered enstatite-rich achondrite or more likely an EL6 with altered metal in fracture fillings. Hopefully the NWA 2736 mis-classification will be corrected eventually, ... I have been to Morocco several times in the last two months and have seen first hand the EL6 material and how the Moroccans are being fooled by this one Moroccan's erroneous statements regarding the classification of this EL6. In fact, I just got back last night from my most recent trip. I should be able to shed more light on this subject very soon.

Dear List Members, I have several nice Basaltic Shergottite specimens ending in a couple hours. They are NWA 3171 and are very nice. These are available under my eBay seller name, NaturesVault.

Re: [meteorite-list] A Great Day!
Hello Adam and List, Not that I really need to reply to both you and the list but thought I would share my envy of not being able to join the day with you and all involved. I remember three years ago or so when we had dinner with Dr. Don Brownlee and others at the Asteroid Cafe in Seattle and listened to the details of the Stardust Mission at that time. I also was fortunate to briefly meet Dr. Steve Squyres in Houston two years ago at the Lunar and Planetary Conference. I can only imagine the atmosphere of the day, too cool. Great pictures also. Did Don give you an extra Stardust pen to send to me ;-) I would have flown over to enjoy the day but I was in Morocco, yet again, last week. I just returned late last night, more on that later after getting caught up on things. Best regards, Greg - Original Message - From: Adam Hupe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 7:40 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] A Great Day! Dear List Members, For those who are interested, I want to share what a great day I had at the University of Washington, yesterday. It was supposed to be business as usual when I visited the University of Washington yesterday but things turned out much better than I could have ever hoped. Instead of a sample drop and a meeting with Dr. Robert Winglee, the Earth and Space Sciences' Chair, I was also treated to what would turn out to be an excellent experience. I guess timing is everything as Robert generously invited Zann and I to attend a talk by Steve Squyres of Mars rover fame and dinner afterwards. I am getting a little ahead of myself. After a productive meeting with Robert, we toured the new facilities at Johnson Hall. They did a fantastic job of remodeling the place. We then made our way to the new location of the Microprobe lab where Zann and I met up with Drs. Scott Kuehner and Tony Irving. They were involved with some more work on NWA 2999, which is really turning out to be a fantastic stone. After exchanging some samples with Tony, he called Dr. Don Brownlee, Principal Investigator of the Stardust mission and asked if we could drop by. I was, once again, impressed by Don's generosity by giving us a Yes, by all means stop by answer even though he was extremely busy studying the comet samples. After running out of breath, running across the campus, we finally reached the Stardust laboratory. I must confess that it was my hope to see the happenings in this lab before the day even started. I brought along a few things for show-and-tell that I thought Don would appreciate as kind of a bribe to see the cometary particles. Don was kind enough to give us a tour of the facilities and show us the real material up close and in a microscope. What I saw will stick with me the rest of my life, what a fantastic opportunity! Here are some images of the Stardust lab: A forbidding sign to the clean room: http://themeteoritesite.com/StardustLogo.jpg Don and I outside the treasure vault: http://themeteoritesite.com/AdamDonStardustLab.jpg Dr. Brownlee, as enthusiastic as ever, showing the cometary particles to our group: http://themeteoritesite.com/GroupStardustGroup.jpg Some show-and-tell items that I brought to show Don but were unnecessary to gain access to the lab: A Nininger 5-ray star: http://themeteoritesite.com/FiveStar.jpg A Nininger printing press plate entitled Stardust Star http://themeteoritesite.com/StardustStarPlate.jpg A parting gift from Don: http://themeteoritesite.com/StardustPen.jpg http://themeteoritesite.com/StardustPenCloseUp.jpg We then ran with minutes to spare to Steve's talk on the Martian rovers. I attended the rover talks in Houston two years ago so it was great to hear an unpublished update. My brain was started to go into overload, feasting on all of the new information and I was sorry the talk only lasted one hour. All as I can say right now is standby, too many cool things to share right now. After the talk, we regrouped at an excellent seafood restaurant called Pontis. Although I had met Steve Squyres briefly in Houston, it was great to have the time to listen and engage in some shop talk at dinner. I was able to ask questions like, What was the level of weathering on the outside of the iron meteorite that was found by one of the rovers? I was always curious how a meteorite would be affected the Martian atmosphere. The answer was quite simple. The meteorite was continually sand-blasted down to bare metal. I guess sandblasting is a type of weathering so I should be thinking Martian when asking such questions. The excellent conversations wound day after a few hours and then it was time to go. From left to right; Alisan, Dr. Tony Irving, Zann, Dr. Robert Winglee, Dr. Steve Squyres, Dr. Mike Brown enjoying conversation after dinner, talk about a lot of brain-power in one place! http://themeteoritesite.com/GroupDinner2.jpg Anyway, I hated to see the night end.
