Re: [meteorite-list] Point of Diminishing returns (Slice thickness)?
Michael and All, A 2mm Ribeye, draped over a 100 watt light bulb for 43 seconds turns out perfect. Micheal's words "habitual ways of thinking" may just boil down to (in my opinion only) a natural transition from a new collector to a more seasoned collector. When someone decides to begin collecting meteorites, for whatever reason, and is trying to explain to family and friends about his/her new venture--it just wouldn't work to show them your newest .006gm micro (this is an extreme example) and expect them to look at it for more than 20 seconds but when you hand them any iron and EVERY single time they exclaim "wow that's heavy for it's size"--now you have their interest and they want to see more and most important they're more prone to listening to you about your new hobby. In my circles, i'm trying to get everyone i know to buy the biggest Campo they can afford and learn & educate yourself. Hopefuly, one of them will, one day, have the knowledge that you guys/gals have. Everyone starts somewhere. Personally, i'm on the side of as aesthetics and given the choice of a 4mm vs a 2mm, i would probably take the 2mm-if it was a more revealing piece. My true love is TS's and i have about another 40+ to post to the Eom. To me it's like looking into the sole of the universe. And that's my 3 oz's of Ribeye fat - Original Message - From: "Michael Blood" To: "Adam Hupe" ; "Meteorite List" Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 6:58 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Point of Diminishing returns (Slice thickness)? Good points, Adam, However, the collectors who are blind to any pricing Elements but weight are NOT getting the best deals at all. I sell the same way I collect Good is good and to me How a specimen looks if far more important than mass. Do I prefer a bigger specimen over a smaller specimen? Of course, but I do not prefer a thicker slice over a thinner Slice at all. If one is 4g and the other is 1.2g and the surface Area is larger on the 1.2g and the price is the same, I will take The 1.2 thinner slice with more surface area every stinking time. If you can buy high fat ground beef for $2/lb or excellent Ribeye stakes for $4/lb, which are YOU going to buy? I'll take The Ribeye every stinking time. I believe collectors are STARTING to get the point that It is NOT the weight that is most important, but the visual Quality that matters. Every Tucson Show for the last several Years I have seen some screaming specimens sold for 4, 10 or 100 times the "normal" price per gram. I have bought some of Them, myself. I am always amazed that though I am certain the average Meteorite collector has a substantially higher IQ than the Public norm, so many of them are attached to narrow ways of Thinking. However, any smart individual will eventually overcome Habitual ways of thinking when repeatedly exposed to the logical advantages of other ways of looking at things. Michael On 3/7/11 3:38 PM, "Adam Hupe" wrote: Most collectors go by the price per gram first so dealers who cut ultra-thin will take a loss when weight is the main consideration. I know that the weight-to-surface area ratio is a secondary consideration for most collectors due to experience. There are other factors like a decent polish being applied, proper preparation and specimen status including provenance that can affect price.

The jet then traveled 2-3 miles across the lake and then shot straight up leaving a trail of dust almost like giant smoke rings as it disappeared.

Martin, Lest us not forget the Mailbox that promptly applied for disability and the Car whose insurance increased by 10 Terajoule's. John - Original Message - From: "Martin Altmann" To: Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 5:23 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites 101-The Bolide and the Nuclear Bomb Hi Regine, because the TNT-equivalent is the most common form to give the measure of energy released in an explosion. Big impacts of meteorites release a lot of energy due to the mighty kinetic energy the impactors have, while hitting. In fact there are no such natural events else, where punctually so much energy is released. Energy is energy, no matter how it's produced, whether by nuclear fission or by an impact of a meteorite. You could express the energy released in such an explosion also in Joule, but quite nobody would have an imagination, what let's say 120 Terajoule should be. Though if you say, that explosion was so hefty like 2 Hiroshima bombs, it's easier to imagine. Radiation plays no role in or after meteorite impacts. have there been any cases of mutations or illnesses of animals? Yes, once a dog in Egypt, a cow in Venezuela and a llama in Peru felt somewhat ill after a meteorite impact. Well and else... I wouldn't call meteorite collectors/dealers/researchers "animals" ;-) Best!

There seem to be a lot of references and explosive asteroid events are often measured in Hiroshima bombs to scare the hell out of people. I always asked myself the question why that is? Is there not a different process at work, that of nuclear fission (atom bomb) and fusion (hydrogen bomb)? But when considering Tunguska, the aftermath seems to be very similar. I would like to know more about this: There has been accelerated tree growth due to the radiation, have there been any cases of mutations or illnesses of animals? Is such a radiation as severe as that of a bomb? And what is the difference / similarity of Tektites and Trinitite?

Dan - Original Message - From: "Larry Atkins" To: Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 7:00 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Shatter Cone Hello List, It's nearly unanimous, the shatter cone would appear to be exactly that. I had correspondence with a glacier expert from Univ. of Toronto, Canada, and he said that I am exactly in line with the direction of glacial flow from the Sudbury region and it's no surprise that one could be found here. The specimen matches visually, enough I guess that I can't get an official analyses done, they just have to look at it and know. It's either from Sudbury or Wanapitei, which is directly adjacent to Sudbury. During my small investigation I think I solved another mystery as well. I have a rock that I thought was possibly a meteorite but it turns out it might be Black Onaping, also from the Sudbury impact ! Iguess I'm in a far flung zone of Sudbury material. The possible onaping I found in a gravel pit. I should probably investigate more of the many gravel pits in the area. I do wonder about the metal in the Onaping. Typically, is there metal in Onaping? The specimen is only lightly attracted to a magnet and it is the tiny metal pieces that are the source of the attraction. Really neat stuff! http://s934.photobucket.com/albums/ad190/alienrockfarm/Possible%20Black%20Onaping%20Impact%20Breccia%20Sudbury/ Someone emailed me and said that if the shatter cone was authentic, it is the farthest one ever found from Sudbury. The distance is about 268 miles as the impactite flies Sincerely, Larry Atkins IMCA # 1941 Ebay alienrockfarm __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

I'm wondering if anyone cares to ponder it's classification or say that it looks like one meteorite or another, maybe jar my memory as to what it is since I'm not real sure where it came from.
