Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Photo Presentation at Auction

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I should add that the silent slide show will be shown in a  loop, and that 
it will be shown at least a couple of times or more during the two hours 
before the auction so folks can catch it whenever they arrive.  I am having 
the photos put on a DVD by a professional company this week.  Chris will be 
there at 5 to set it up.  I hope it will give folks who have not had the 
chance to be out in the field hunting for weeks at a time at a newly 
discovered strewn field a glimpse of the way it was.

Twink


Dear List Members,

   Chris Monrad (son of Twink) will be presenting over 300 photos

From 5 PM to 7:30 PM in the room just off the auction.

Photos will include:

-All of the Gold Basin project hunts & hunters who joined in later,
-Tucson Show photos,
-Jim Kriegh & Twink Monrad parties at his house
-Other misc. meteorite related photos
-Classic photos of  the late Jim Kriegh
-Photos of O. Richard Norton
-Photos of lots of the other meteorite folks.

[meteorite-list] Thanks to Bernd, again

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I echo Werner Schroer, we can't thank Bernd enough!

Bernd,
I want to use this opportunity to thank you for your input to the list. It
is always inspiring and I've learned quite a bit from you over the years.
You seem to be a walking encyclopedia and if you don't have an answer in
your head, you know where to find it. Simply wunderbar!

Keep up the good work !

Cheers
Werner Schroer

Re: [meteorite-list] Fellow IMCA member needs accommodations for Tucson show

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

These hotels are both not far from where I live, and it is considered a very
safe area and are both clean, and the Quality Inn was recently redone. And,
they are convenient- both are a straight shot to downtown on Oracle Road,
about 7 miles.

show

Hello everyone,

I recently had the pleasure to meet with Bryan (Li BoFang) and his wife, Wu
Yonghui, in Beijing.  Bryan will be attending the 2013 Tucson show and needs
to find either a hotel to stay or a room to share with someone attending.  I
have already made my own accommodations so am hoping the group can help.

In terms of hotels, I have identified a few and wanted to make sure these
are safe and clean locations to stay:
1) Towne Place Suites by Marriott Tucson North
405 W Rudasill Rd, Tucson, AZ, 85704
2) Quality Inn & Suites
7411 N Oracle Rd, Tucson, AZ, 85704

His budget is around $100/night so if you have any other recommendations,
please feel free to make them.

Bryan needs to secure his travel visa fairly quickly, so prompt responses
back to me would be appreciated.

Regards,

Mendy

Re: [meteorite-list] Discovered! The Meteorite-List - February, 1998

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

And, January 1998 is the month the University of Arizona made the press
release about a certain retired U of A civil engineering professor from Oro
Valley, Arizona  who had inadvertently discovered a new meteorite field
called Gold Basin.  It stated that Professor Jim Kreigh and John Blennert
and Twink Monrad had been involved in the mapping of the field for two years
prior to the press release.  All of a sudden we three had scores of new
friends and I think I can state for John and myself that we still cherish
our new friends that we met at Tucson Gem and Mineral Show February 1998.
I wish we could repeat all of the hunting trips joined in by many of our new
friends.

Team Meteorite:

The archives for the Meteorite-List don't go back, back, back all the way to
the beginning, only to April, 2004.


Wouldn't it be great if the rest of these writings were still lurking
somewhere in cyberspace,  just lost under an avalanche of Facebook
deletions, but waiting to be found?


What a treasure trove of contemporary meteorite history they would be- the
successes, scandals, discoveries and adventures we've collectively
experienced and shared, remembering the enemies we've tormented and the
friends we've praised.


Art Jones opened this venue sixteen years ago.


"Our first Meteorite Forum was held just days after the ALH 84001
announcement on August 6, 1996. As I recall, there were only 5 or 6 of us on
the first chat which included Paul Harris and Jim Tobin of Meteorite
Exchange and current editors of METEORITE TIMES, Rick Kujawa, me and a few
others who escape my memory for now." - Michael Blood


While doing research this especially rainy, rain forest afternoon - my
neighborhood monkeys have donned waterproof Gortex hoodies monogrammed "I
'heart' Costa Rica' while they pose for tourists- I stumbled upon this
precious link to our past...


http://www7.pair.com/arthur/meteor/archive/archive4/Feb98/temp/threads.html#
00020


It is the entire m-list archive from Feb, 1998. I can't imagine that any
subscriber wouldn't find this worth a look - at least for their own comments
:>)


But for those who need persuasion, let me brief you on the contents to
perhaps pique your interest.

Meteorite List -  Month of February, 1998.


Phile Bagnall kicks off the month writing about Ron Farrell's latest folly
(those list members not familiar with Mr. Farrell can 'google'
for a bio). Phil wonders if he too is a member of the vast 'meteorite
community conspiracy' Farrell believes is responsible for his prediciment.


Frank Stroik (Dept. of Geology & Geophysics, University of Wyoming) was our
first and all-time best resident genius/teacher and he discusses CI
Chondrites with Martin Horejsi. Others join in making this the longest
thread of the month. Great science here!



Ron Baalke opined frequently on the list. Here he correctly argues against
J.E. Bradenburg's paper claiming Mars as the CI parent body.


There's a long thread about Holbrook. Baalke sees no added value in slices
of Holbrook v. individuals. Others cite 'cut loss' and the rarity of
Holbrook specimens 'big enough to even bother slicing' as factors in
legitimately demanding higher per/gram cost for slices.


Matt Morgan's 'tip of the day' is to spray Krylon on Gao slices to "create a
3-D effect."


Typical of the times, this list existed to help and inform the community and
was growing rapidly. Jim Hurley seeks a sponsor for MetSoc membership. John
Blennert clicks on 'subscribe' to join the met-list.


Darryl Pitt is proud to have yet another Grammy Award winner in his stable
of jazz stars and plugs a Randy Brecker CD for $10, calling it 'music to
read about meteorites by". He gets gigged for being 'off-topic' and
apologizes. (Because Darryl mentions it, I purchase "Into the Sun", an
enjoyable basically Brazilian music-scape.)


The Ron Farrell alledged theft-of-Angra-dos-Reis thread intensifies when
Darryl becomes involuntarily involved with this 'Rio Robbery'. "I received
an unwelcomed letter from Ron Farrell's criminal defense lawyer today and it
has prompted me to write the following..."  Daniel Kagan and Joel Conrado's
contribute summary comments.


Michael Casper offers a $5,000 reward for a missing $1,900 Page City Iron
meteorite that he later discovers to be lost 'only in the book-keeping'.


A trickle of one-sies and two-sies of Sikhote-Alin show up for sale as USSR
borders start leaking meteorites. In response, MCasper offloads a truckload,
instantly flooding the market.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Endeavour flying over Tucson

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Hi Rob and Dolores, I was out east of town doing some metal detecting and we
all had a great view of it as it glided across our Tucson valley.  Two folks
who were there asking us about our detectors said we should be out in the
mountains looking for meteorites, not coins and jewelry.  Boy were they
amazed when I handed each guy a slice of polished NWA 869 I carry around in
my purse for just such occasions!  I told them I am the Johnny Appleseed of
meteorites.  They are still shaking their heads at the gifts, I am sure.

Twink

Hello Rob,

Yes!
The low flyby was about 11:15 am (/MST/).  It was quite beautiful and
elegant as it gently glided through the air.  There were hundreds of people
gathered on the UA mall to watch for it to come from the east in the
direction of the Rincon Mountains and eventually travel onward toward the
Tucson Mountains.

I have three Moung-Nong layered Thai tektites from Darryl's collection and
none have any markings or painted labels on them. Two of them he sent to me
personally as trades for Gold Basins and the third I bought at Michael
Blood's auction many years ago. It weighs 686 grams and  it is really nice.

[meteorite-list] sad news about Richard Willey

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I just heard from Shirley Wetmore, retired curatorial assistant at 
University of Arizona Flandreau Planetarium Mineral Museum that on August 
28th Richard Willey died of natural causes in Dallas,Texas.


He of course is the author of the book
The Tucson Meteorites:
Their history from frontier Arizona to the Smithsonian

and he spent years searching for the source of the Tucson
Ring along with others.

I am so glad I  have a copy of his book.

[meteorite-list] meteorite fall or find is an unforgettable experience

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I just read the phrase that a new fall "may have faded into obscurity" and I 
had an instant reaction. Since I was so fortunate to have been invited by 
Jim Kriegh and John Blennert to hunt and map Gold Basin with them I do have 
a perspective on finding a first meteorite and then many more after being 
mentored by John and Jim.  I think anyone who has been out in the field to 
find his/her first meteorite in a known or newly discovered find area will 
agree with me that it is an overwhelming experience.  I would imagine that 
anyone who is so fortunate and talented to find a piece and then more of a 
fresh new fall must feel REALLY overwhelmed and thankful.  It is such a 
tremendous event that there is no way a new exciting fall or even find will 
fade. Just ask those of us lucky enough to have made the effort to hunt and 
been successful, or not,  and the collectors who understand this feeling. 
There are lots of folks who fall into these categories.

[meteorite-list] re. $

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Hi Steve,

I am wondering when I should expect my check for the birthday bash cake, 
plates, napkins and forks which I was asked to buy.


And the cake was not just a simple phone call to the store. As you  may 
remember the logo was sent to me by e mail, I printed it in color, took it 
to the baker at Safeway along with an etched slice of Brenham to show him 
how it should look if possible, went to pick the cake up and then delivered 
it to the Sky Bar.  It was fun and I enjoyed doing it so do not understand 
the problem with my reimbursement which was agreed when I said I would do 
it.  (I then the next night picked up my auction Gold Basin cake  I paid for 
and took it out there as I have done for years.)


When I was at Geoff's a few weeks ago I mentioned it to  him and he said he 
was not aware of it so therefore I keep asking you.

[meteorite-list] earthquake as related to my meteorites

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I was sitting at my computer looking at my desktop background photo of a 
Gold Basin nugget and Gold Basin meteorites and it began swaying, or I did, 
I felt dizzy.  Then I noticed the light fixture in the room above our dining 
table was swaying back and forth.  My glass cabinets full of meteorites are 
fine, thankfully.

[meteorite-list] pronunciation of L'aigle

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

from Bernd as he could not post:

Hi Greg C. and List,

L'aigle is an easy one. * aigle * is the " eagle "
in English but let's talk about its pronunciation:

- *ai* sounds like the first  *a* in "animal"
- *g* is "g" like in the words "gold" or "give"
- *l* is "l" like in the words "look" or "love"
- the *e*  at the end of the word is like *a* in "a house", "a book"

Best wishes from Germany from someone
who can't post to the List directly :-(

[meteorite-list] Wethersfield (1982) a re- post sort of

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Sending this for Bernd as he cannot post to the list.



Hello Listers, Listees, and Listoids,

Many years ago, we already discussed this remarkable coincidence
and I sent the below-mentioned reference to the List:

DENNIS di CICCO (1983) Target Wethersfield - Wethersfield meteorite:
The odds were astronomical (Sky & Telescope, 1983 Feb., pp 118-119).

Interesting article, lots of details, and photos!

With regard to the subject of related meteorite falls eleven years apart,
there was an interesting article in Meteoritics, well, ... this one here:

TREIMAN A.H. (1992) Fall days of the SNC meteorites: Evidence for an SNC
meteoroid stream, and a common site of origin (Meteoritics 27-1, 1992, 
93-95).



Best wishes,

Bernd (in Germany)

Hello Folks,

This is a wonderful CR2 from the deserts of Northwest Africa!
If interested, have a look at a close-up pic that I took at 8x of
its gorgeous matrix and its out-of-this-world chondrules.

The picture can be viewed and enjoyed in the online Encyclopedia
of Meteorites. There are also pics of this wonderful CR2 from other
collectors.

Enjoy!

What a beautiful meteorite! My first take on it is that it must have

do ­ they form by solidification from a liquid.


Hello List,

Looks like the perfect counterpart to the curious chondrule of the JaH 055 
(L4/5),

on which Alan Rubin commented: "The dentrites indicate very rapid cooling.
The material surrounding the dentrites is (or was, before metamorphism) 
glass."


As for the photo of this dentritic chondrule in JaH 055, go to Tom Phillips'

The only impact crater in Alabama (as far as I know) is the Wetumpka impact 
crater.
It is located in Elmore County, Alabama, USA (32° 31.5' N, 86° 10.5' W), its 
diameter

is 6.5 km.

Planar deformation features in quartz, an iridium component and impactites

[meteorite-list] from Bernd as he could not post to list

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Hello Paul, Tom, and List,

I can full-heartedly second Tom's comments but would like to add that
apart from opting for a *stereo microscope* for convenient "seeing", it
is also vital to purchase or acquire a microscope that allows you to view
meteorite thin sections in cross-polarized light!

As soon as you have become a microscope "addict" of those messengers
from space, you will wish to go one or several steps further and enjoy all
these beauties in their multi-color glory!

The microscope I own is one of the less expensive examples but the images
you can take with it are stunning. And my digital camera is just one of
those
rather inexpensive supermarket "models" you can purchase for ca. 50-100$.

In the USA, it was Michael Blood who offered these microscopes a few years
ago. Should you want to buy one of these from Michael, you will also need
the
so-called "Tobin Adapter" which will allow you to view thin sections in
x-pol.
light -- a real treat!

To let you know what I am talking about, I will send you one one my
favorite
thin section pics in x-pol. light in a private mail. This pic was taken
with my
MBS-10 Stereo Microscope and my "supermarket 5 Megapix" digital camera.

.. wishing you good luck searching
for an appropriate microscope,

Bernd (in Germany)

[meteorite-list] from Bernd

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Hello Robert and All,

I purchased my smallish 3.9-gram P.V. slice from Cap'n Blood back in 2001 
and it still looks
as fresh as it did 9 years ago. No rust but I found a golden-colored, 
yellowish merrillite or apatite
(they are both phosphates after all!) crystal at one of these 
metal-silicate interfaces. Regarding the
possibility that this might be rust, ...well, one look at such crystals 
through a microscope (16x will
be sufficient) should reveal their true nature. This yellow crystal in my 
slice is a genuine, translucent
crystal that betrays its nature through its form, its color, its 
crystallinity (in my slice an elongate
prismatic crystal) and the fact that it is embedded in the metal silicate 
interfacial area. Rust would be
bubbly, blisterous, grainy or powdery - it would not be translucent, it 
would have the typical color
of rust (reddish-brown), and, it would protrude from the surface of my 
slice or if it was really
incorporated into the matrix/metal interface, if it did not protrude from 
the cut surface, it would
still be reddish-brown instead of displaying those typical colors of 
apatite (green, gray with bluish

or yellowish tints - at least in hand sample).

Best wishes from
Germany,

Bernd

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Subject: RFSPOD - February 9, 2010 Buzzard Coulee Blue Inclusion


Hello Jeff K., Michael J., Zelimir and List,

I am wondering if this blue metallic inclusion in Jeff's Buzzard Coulee
might be one of these hibonites that Zelimir showed us and that Jeff
Grosman identified for us.

This made me think of the MUCH-1 and "Blue Angel" inclusions in Murchison
(both of them hibonite-bearing aggregates).

http://www.rocksfromspace.org/February_9_2010.html

Jeff, sincere congrats on such a fine Buzzard Coulee!

[meteorite-list] Gold Basin strewn field correction on a post by Carl Esparza

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

No Carl, you do not have this right at all.

What I told you the other night is that Jim Kriegh, John Blennert and I 
turned in all of our first several hundred specimens to Dr. Kring at the U 
of A.  These were found on BLM land where the field was discovered while 
hunting for gold.  Dolores Hill and Dr. Kring went through these one by one, 
bagged and labeled them, as Dolores can attest.  Twenty per cent of these 
went to the Smithsonian.  The rest were eventually given back to us by Dr. 
Kring except for a few that the University needed for classification.  John, 
Jim and I also donated several to the University of Arizona Mineral Museum 
which they still own.  As all of us discovered different meteorites in the 
same strewn field, they were also examined, classified and returned to us 
except for the slices kept by the U of A for classification.


It was a year later that Dr. Kring obtained for Jim Kriegh a permit to hunt 
on the Lake Mead Recreation Area and  Jim, John and I hunted there for a 
while and were honored to do so.  Dr. Kring was interested in knowing 
whether the strewn field covered the Recreation Area.  When we found Gold 
Basin meteorites at various points even overlooking Lake Mead and walked 
over lots of flat land and into canyons on both sides of the road into the 
Recreation area it was obvious that yes, the field extended to Lake Mead. 
All of these finds on the Lake Mead Recreation area were turned over to Dr. 
Kring who in turn sent them to the Smithsonian as that had been in the 
agreement in order to get the permit to hunt on the Recreation area. We had 
hunted briefly at various spots just to see where they occurred.   Jim 
Kriegh did not ask for the permit to be extended since the information that 
Dr. Kring needed had been verified.


Once the press release came out from the University of Arizona in January 
1998, anyone was free to hunt on the original BLM area and we enjoyed many 
hunts with many of you who became our good friends.  Meeting all of you who 
did hunt with Jim Kriegh or who met him at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show 
is what made him the happiest and made the find worthwhile to him.  Jim was 
also pleased to have donated his time for the mapping and scientific 
information his find afforded the meteorite world.

the German "Meteorite List" of a bright bolide that was sighted and 
photographed

over Southern Germany (Baden-Würrtemberg) last night at 03:04 CET.

Mark's preliminary computations and triangulations point toward a N-S flight

of the bolide and also indicate a rather steep entry angle of about 65°. 
Mark also

Re: [meteorite-list] Don't use putty!

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I have a question.  At my Lapidary Club when minerals are cut with a saw 
using oil, even some minerals absorb the oil.  They put them in a box with 
kitty litter and the oil stain comes out.  Would this work for the stained 
meteorites?  I have not tried it yet but do have several  stone meteorite 
specimens which are stained from the putty stuff.

way to see Sylvia and Erich H. at their hotel and a smiling  young man on 
the van asked if we were Jim and Twink! He had recognized us from a photo or 
video and it was so nice to spend quite a bit of time with him at that show. 
We always hoped he would come back to Tucson.  Larry and I send condolences 
to his family. Christian thought it interesting that he, Jim and Larry were 
all engineers.   Twink Monrad

Hi Pete,

Respect! My hat is off to you!!!

Keep up the good work! Maybe one of these kids will one day be a number one
in the field of Meteoritics and remember how it all started many years ago 
with

*your* presentation!

All thumbs up!

[meteorite-list] Fw: Fall in Canada in 1984-85 near Devon, AB?

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Bernd asked me to forward this also.  Twink

and yes the Gold Basin cake will be at Michael's auction, my pleasure.


Hi Greg and List,

The only fall I can find in my databases for North America in 1984 or 1985 
and
for winter (because you mentioned a cold evening) is the famous Claxton 
mailbox
smasher. An eyewitness, well, I had better say, an earwitness reported 
that he heard
"a whistling that reminded him of an incoming mortar round in Vietnam." 
But Georgia

is a far away from Alberta :-(

On the other hand, Evans County sounds a bit like "Devon", doesn't it?

Season's greetings,

Bernd

[meteorite-list] Fw: Recognizing E-chondrites

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Bernd asked me to post this to the list.
Twink Monrad

Hi Greg S., Jeff Gr., Rob M., and List,

Hard to tell in hand sample if a cut slice or an individual is an E 
chondrite

but if the suspect is an EH3 / EL3 or an EH4 / EL4 with clearly discernible
chondrules and if it is not too severely weathered, its chondrules will 
look
grayish-white (= enstatite). But this may also be true of Kakangari 
chondrites

(and quite a few others) although the chance to own/find a K-chondrite is
extremely remote.

Relatively weathered E-chondrites like Dean Bessey's NWA 305* (W3) may be
a challenge in hand sample because its chondrules (and matrix . what little 
matrix
there is) look colorful but it is relatively easy when you look at thin 
sections of such
E-chondrites under a microscope in cross-polarized light: they look a 
little bit . well,
boring because they consist almost exclusively of enstatite and enstatite 
(orthopyroxene)
looks grayish-white. No beautiful, colorful interference colors, . just 
grayish-white

chondrules and mineral debris.

I also have thin sections of  Abee (EH4), Eagle (EL6) but, . same story. 
Not very spectacular,
not very colorful in cross-polarized light. Of course, "not very 
spectacular" does not refer to their
scientific importance but only to their aesthetic beauty, and, beauty, we 
all know, lies in the eyes

of the beholder(s).

* I've uploaded a picture of my NWA 305 endcut and another of my NWA 305 
thin section
in cross-polarized light so that you should be able to view them by 
tomorrow (if interested) in

the online Encyclopedia of the Met.Bull.


Season's greetings,

Bernd

Re: [meteorite-list] Jim Smaller

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

It was interesting the way Jim Kriegh and I met Jim Smaller.  We were at the 
Tucson Gem Show many years ago seeing the big weekend show at the Tucson 
Community Center.  Jim was showing me the gold displays, and  he stopped by 
a wonderful display featuring an old gold mine in Colorado.  Jim had lived 
in CO and went to college in Boulder and loved to hunt for gold so this 
display interested him greatly.  As we were looking at and commenting on 
this a large man next to us told us that his father had worked at that mine 
and he was proud to see this at the Show.  Somehow we got around to talking 
about gold hunting in Arizona, which led to meteorite hunting in Arizona, 
and he figured out who Jim Kriegh was right away.  We laughed about that, 
and planned to hunt together someday but unfortunately we never organized a 
trip together.

[meteorite-list] Tucson Show trivia FYI

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I just returned from a drive to downtown Tucson, and I noted that the 
former Innsuites on Granada, where many of the meteorite dealers have sales 
rooms, and the ballroom contains the big fossil show,  is now called:


Hotel Tucson City Center  (in huge letters on sign)

and

Innsuites Boutique is in smaller letters at bottom of sign

I go downtown frequently, and this was a surprise to me today.

I did write to the list a few months ago or so that the exits are all open 
now and it is wonderful now as far as our I-10  freeway goes  so that is

Re: [meteorite-list] Richard Norton

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Dear Dorothy,

Larry and I are so sorry to hear the sad news about Richard.  Both of you 
must have known how much we enjoyed our many times together in Tucson.


One of the amazing things about Richard was his way of writing things that 
gave such feeling to the readers.  Two things have always remained in my 
mind and I wish to share them with others.


First of all, I consider myself, Larry, Jim Kriegh and our son Chris and 
daughter-in-law Bridget to be so very fortunate to have experienced this: 
We and the Nortons were gathered at our house after dinner and of course 
Richard was carrying on a lively discussion about meteorites.  At one point 
he asked that the lights be dimmed and  he wanted to see my copy of  Rocks 
from Space.  He turned to the Epilogue and began reading out loud from his 
book:


In late 1984, I gave a small iron meteorite to astronaut Dick Scobee in 
commemoration of his visit to the University of Arizona, where he had 
graduated in engineering.  Scobee was scheduled to command the space shuttle 
early the next year. I suggested, half in jest, that he return the meteorite 
to its home in space on his next voyage.  In a way, it would be a historic 
event - a meteorite returning to space! A few weeks later a letter arrived 
from Scobee.  He thanked me for the meteorite, calling it a "nice little 
treasure" and assured me that he would, indeed, return it "at least 
temporarily to the environment from which it came."  On January 28, 1986, 
the meteorite began its historic return journey but never made it home.  Nor 
did the crew of seven.  Their ship was the Challenger.


I still get chills when I read this passage and remember Richard reading it 
to us.


Another thing that he wrote which shows his deep thinking and good 
imagination is from his article in Meteorite magazine May 2001 on the Tucson 
Show.


Thank you, Tucson. Thank you, dealers. Thank you, collectors. Together you 
pulled off a memorable show.  As I watched  all of you enjoying yourselves 
at Jim Kriegh's "meteorite" party, my thoughts returned briefly to 1969 and 
the launch of Apollo 11.  I was surrounded by hundreds of reporters and 
delegates from around the world gathered to witness the historic event. 
Friend and foe alike intermingled, all with a common goal, to emotionally 
push the Saturn into the sky.  Old rivalries faded into insignificance.  In 
that brief moment the world was united as one.  Was there not a parallel 
here, all of us with a passion for rocks from space?


I think Richard would forgive me for copyright infringements so that those 
who do not own both publications  might understand how meaningful his simple 
words were to those of us who read them.


Watching Richard work side by side with Dorothy who helped him with his 
books and did such fabulous illustrations for all sorts of publications was 
a pleasure.


I too was fortunate to be able to hunt with Richard along with Jim Kriegh 
and John Blennert at Gold Basin.  A short funny story, Richard set up a 
telescope one evening at Gold Basin to photograph something special 
happening in the heavens that night.  At 2:30 AM he with great resignation 
put away all of his equipment asking us why we had not in advance informed 
him that the airliners flying into and out of Las Vegas every twenty minutes 
never quit, that they were interfering with his light or other conditions!

Twink Monrad


1/3/2009

Does anyone on the list know if there is a current meteor shower?

Jake and I were out walking the dogs at 5:45 this morning and saw 7 or 8 
meteors.


There has been some activity every morning or evening for the last week or 
more. Our location is Show Low, Arizona, USA. Lat/Lon at our airport is



34-15-55N / 110-00-20W



The sightings have been almost over head, out of the NNE to NNW. The display 
is less than a second with a very flat arc.


2009 is going to be a great year having seen so many meteors in the first 
three days.


See you at Tucson.





Thanks.

[meteorite-list] fireball article

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Tucson Region

  In our Tucson paper this morning:



Streaking fireball a vivid spectacle in daytime sky

By Shelley Shelton
Arizona Daily Star
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 08.24.2008

A fireball hurtled across the southern Tucson sky 
in broad daylight Saturday morning, startling and 
inspiring awe in those who saw it.
Chelsey Dever was working a yard sale at her 
grandmother's house on the Northwest Side around 
10:30, she said, when she looked toward the south 
and saw the ball arcing through the sky.
"At first I was like, 'Is that an airplane that's 
on fire?' " she said. Then she realized it 
wasn't. The other two people outside with her at the time didn't see it.
Across town, Catherine O'Sullivan was riding her 
bicycle southbound on Sabino Canyon Road when she 
looked up and saw it, she said.
"It looked like someone put a fiery ball in a 
catapult and launched it," she said.
O'Sullivan said she used to work in a planetarium 
and was guessing the fireball was a "bollide" ­ a big meteorite.
"For one to come this close in the atmosphere and 
be seen during the day, it's just unheard of," she said.
Richard Dougall, equipment loan coordinator for 
the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association, said he 
was thrilled to see the meteor as he drove south on Kolb Road.
"It was a fireball. It was beautiful," he said. 
"I've been in seventh heaven all morning."

He was so entranced, he almost forgot to pay attention to his driving, he said.
When asked how common it is to see such a thing 
in broad daylight, he responded, "Not."

"I've always wanted to see one in daytime," he said.
He's been a member of the astronomy group since 
2001 and has seen quite a few at night, he said.

This one had the bright reddish-orange color of a road flare, he said.
He guessed that it was probably 200 or 300 miles 
to the south, maybe farther, but said it's always hard to tell.
Even though it's unusual to see a meteor or 
meteorite during the day, Dougall said they are pretty common.

"The Earth gets struck constantly by meteorites. Constantly," he said.

[meteorite-list] true "meteorite" stories

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Funny Michael should write, this just happened this morning. I 
received a call from a neighbor, who actually lives close to Jim 
Kriegh's former house.  He said that a son of a friend of his brought 
to his house last night a meteorite.  The son had said he heard the 
soft ball sized  meteorite land in the dirt in his back yard in the 
south part of Tucson and it made a two inch crater.  Ron had a photo 
on his cell phone to show me and came to my house.  Ron said his 
friend took this meteorite to the U of A and was told that it 
appeared to be lunar and that the friend should take it to Phoenix 
and leave it and in six weeks he would be told if it were 
lunar.  Already this sounded weird.  He did not want to let the lunar 
out of his sight so Ron  showed me this photo.  It was black and 
shiny and had lots of angular and flat edges between the 
bubbles.  I  had Ron look over my meteorite collection, let him hold 
a few, showed him different types and then took him out in my front 
yard and showed him my collection of slag.  He right away said yes 
that is what his friend had. How the U of A story evolved remains a 
mystery.  I of course sent him  home with a sliced Gold Basin with 
the Sky and Telescope article and photo of Jim Kriegh in the field from 1998.


Jim and I also had another true experience.  A person came over to 
Jim's a few years ago and showed us his meteorite.  It was a dark 
rock with possibly Arizona red jasper showing through.  Jim gently 
gave him the sad news and I could not resist asking why he thought it 
was a meteorite.  He said he had seen the Peekskill meteorite on the 
internet, and it had red streaks too...

Also, for those who would be interested in Jim Kreigh's house where 
many of us attended the interesting parties in the past:  It has been 
sold and the new owners seem to be  working hard on desert tree 
trimming and updating.  Jim would be glad to know a new family will 
be there to care for the house he lived in since it was new.  The 
vacant lot next door has also been sold and we hear that a house will 
be built on it.

field but the snake may be lurking),  a beautiful bright  orange 
sunset over light blue  mountains and lots of Joshua trees and little 
bushes on the ground.  Later I add a few of my miniature chocolate 
truffles that I make to make it look like it did when Jim, John and I 
first mapped the field and there were GB meteorites all over the 
place.  Yes they really were...

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

That is the beauty of Gold Basin meteorites, you can use either 
method!  Since these will be covered with aluminum foil, they will 
be REALLY loud on a detector.  I hope John Blennert will be there to 
help me ground balance my Goldmaster properly...

Hi Michael, Twink and friends,
"Gold Basin Birthday Cake To the Tucson Meteorite Auction and it 
will contain 3 gold basin meteorites (careful chewing!)"
Thanks Twink for volunteeing such great Tucson hospitality - 
again!  The Gold Basin Birthday Cake is the greatest!
Is it OK to run a detector over it before choosing a piece?  Or is 
it better to hide a magnet hanging on a string from a charm bracelet :-) ...

Best wishes
Doug

I seem to be missing the November 2001 issue. The Meteorite Magazine

perhaps someone  who  will be coming to the Tucson Show?

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Impact article

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

A friend here in Oro Valley just sent this to me, thought I would 
share for what it might be worth.  See link for complete article and cartoon.


Twink Monrad



Southwest Archaeology Today for Jan. 8, 2008

Southwestern Archaeology Making the News - A Service of the Center For Desert
Archaeology

- The Possibility that Meteorite Impacts may have Affected Northern 
Paleolithic

Populations is the Topic of Lecture Series in Santa Fe: Truly revolutionary
ideas are not very common these days, but one is peeking up above the 
horizon of
North American prehistory. Dr. Richard Firestone, an isotope 
physicist from the

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, has uncovered evidence for cosmic collisions at
times that would have influenced humans and their environment. 
Impacts at 39,000

and 12,900 years ago devastated portions of the northern hemisphere, treating
the ice-age megafauna to smaller versions of the type of shock that 
contributed

to the extinction of the dinosaurs. The 12,900 BP impact may have changed the
course of the cultural as well as natural history of North America, and the
possibility is challenging accepted views of Paleoindian archaeology.

[meteorite-list] Tucson Gem and Mineral Show article/link

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

In the past I have mentioned to several of you that the Tucson Gem 
and Mineral Show actually started in my elementary school when I was 
in the fifth grade.  My mother and others sold hot dogs and drinks in 
the cafeteria next to the show.  Here is a link to an article in our 
morning paper which tells the whole story.

 I still have a rose quartz pendant I bought that day, am sure there 
were no meteorites, but they did have a little booth with black lights.

Tucson Region
James D. Kriegh, Oro Valley's heart and soul, dies at 78
By Danielle Sottosanti
Arizona Daily Star
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 10.13.2007

The town of Oro Valley lost its historian and a founding
father Wednesday when James D. Kriegh died at the age of 78.
"He was a very gentle man who loved his family, his pets and Oro Valley,"
said Twink Monrad, 62, Kriegh's friend and neighbor for 31 years.
With Kriegh's death, Oro Valley lost his institutional memory and his love
of the community, said Town Clerk Kathi Cuvelier.
"I think that everybody who knew Jim respected him and knew how much ...
the community meant to him. He always tried to do the right thing for the
town," said Cuvelier, who had known Kriegh since 1980.
Kriegh was president and co-founder of the Oro Valley Historical Society
and meticulously saved documents from the town's past.
"It was a labor of love for him," said Dick Eggerding, the society's vice
president. "He had the patience of a saint. Even at his age, he was always
curious and constantly seeking out information."
Kriegh was instrumental in creating the town of Oro Valley. Early meetings
to incorporate the town were held in Kriegh's living room, his children
remember.
Kriegh's son Kevin, 45, said he recalls handing out pro-town-incorporation
fliers with his father when he was only 8 years old.
He was "steadfast, totally committed to his values, and achieved change by
not being the loudest or the most spectacular but by working doggedly
toward a goal and being committed to his principles," Kevin Kriegh said.
He and his family live in Minnesota.
James Kriegh, who was president of Shadow Mountain Homeowners Association,
joined Steve Engle, then president of the Oro Valley Country Club Estates
Association, during the 1970s to fight four years of court battles to
create the town of Oro Valley.
The state Supreme Court ruled to incorporate Oro Valley in 1974. The town
was formed on April 15, 1974.
Though Kriegh has died, his name and work to preserve Oro Valley's history
remains. A park bearing his name is at 23 W. Calle Concordia. DVDs
featuring Kriegh telling the story of Oro Valley's creation are at the Oro
Valley Public Library, 1305 W. Naranja Drive.
The library also has large scrapbooks filled with newspaper clippings and
other artifacts of Oro Valley's past. Kriegh's wife, Marjorie, made the
scrapbooks before she died in 1991.
In addition to his work in Oro Valley, the Kansas native lived a full life
with a variety of interests. But, "I don't think he ever lost the
small-town boy in him from Kansas," Eggerding said.
As a young man, he signed a contract with a minor league baseball team,
said Kriegh's daughter, Kathleen Buop, 44.
He moved to Arizona in the 1950s and was professor emeritus of civil
engineering at the University of Arizona.
Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry was Kriegh's student at the
UA. Since then, their paths often crossed through their governmental work,
Huckelberry said.
He was a great man, historian, engineer and professor, Huckelberry said.
He remembers Kriegh as a patient professor who could explain things
quickly and directly.
Kriegh loved meteorites and the outdoors, his friends remember, and he
even discovered a meteorite field in Northern Arizona in 1995, Monrad
said.
He spent some of his happiest post-retirement days scouting in remote
parts of Arizona with his metal detector and his dog, said Linda Frew, 61,
Kriegh's friend of 35 years.


Memorial service Sunday
A memorial service for Oro Valley historian and founding father James D.
Kriegh will be held at 11 a.m. Sunday at James D. Kriegh Park, 23 W. Calle
Concordia.
The family asks that donations in his name be made to the Oro Valley
Historical Society, c/o 45 W. Calle Concordia, Oro Valley, AZ 85704.

[meteorite-list] Tribute by Dolores Hill to Jim Kriegh

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 13:23:54 -0700
From: "D. Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Larry & Twink Monrad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: condolences to you and Jim's family

Dear Meteorite_List, friends, and family of Jim Kriegh,

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  He was a wonderful person 
who will be greatly missed by many.  We were especially fortunate 
here at the University of Arizona to have had the pleasure of his 
kindly presence and support.  I feel personally fortunate to have 
met him and always enjoyed his enthusiasm and visits.


The Gold Basin meteorite strewnfield is one of the most 
well-documented strewnfields known, because of Jim Kriegh and team's 
care, patience, and perseverance.  It is hard to imagine that it is 
only one of many important contributions he made in his lifetime. 
Jim was unusually humble!  In addition to his many accomplishments, 
he was extremely kind to all and very generous with his time, 
samples, and expertise.  He always had a smile, never stopped 
learning, and had good will and gentle nature for all.  He will be 
greatly missed!


With sincere condolences to all who knew him,
Dolores H. Hill
Lunar & Planetary Laboratory
University of Arizona

Re: [meteorite-list] Moving to Tucson

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Hi Bob,
The  high school  where you will be teaching is located in the
district  and very close to where  Jim Kriegh (Gold Basin
discoverer) and Larry and I live, how is that for a coincidence?  As
Mike Farmer stated, we all like to visit about meteorites so we will look
forward to meeting you also.

Re: [meteorite-list] Weather, weather, weather

Oro Valley should be getting Mike's snow any minute then,
can't wait!  When you grow up here snow is fun.
twink

Re: [meteorite-list] Weather, weather, weather

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Tucson report:
mid-morning, 36 out, TV  still says heavy snow warning for the
Valley  (meaning 4" estimate is heavy for us!) today and into
evening.   Will have to wait and see if they are correct, not
much happening yet although the clouds are hanging low.
Will be in twenties tonight, but then again Friday it will be sunny and
65 so this will be an interesting interlude,  and the desert is
beautiful when we get our infrequent and short-lived snow.

[meteorite-list] Gilbert Ray Campground in Tucson

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

Hi to Bob and List,
Gilbert Ray Campground

Hello all,
Unfortunately I will have to experience Tucson from afar this year. But I

want to pass along a place I stayed at last year that was a wonderful

bargain and a nice way to experience the fantastic desert environment.

My first night was spent in the Rodeway Inn for a mere $99 ;-). As I lay

in bed listening to traffic I vowed it would be my last night for that
price. 
In the morning I contacted the kind folks at Gilbert Ray Campgrounds in

Tucson Mountain Park (about 20 minutes from downtown Tucson just 
off Gates Pass Road). For $7 a night I got a quiet campsite near some

very pretty hiking trails. My time at Gilbert Ray was at least as 
memorable as the show itself. The sky was dark, the stars spectacular.

The only catch is that you cannot reserve a camp site on the phone. 

You have to be there in the morning when they open (they open about 8

or 9 a.m. as I recall) and ask for a spot in person. The good news is
that 
you can have that spot for a number of days without needing to renew.

When I went it was no problem -- there were a bunch of openings. The

modest campground is run by a couple of the friendliest people I met.

And the people in camp -- some tent campers like myself, others with

RVs -- were quiet at night. I wish I could give you the phone number but

I can't find it in all the stuff I brought back. Just call the Tucson

Chamber of Commerce or directory assistance.
Happy lodgings!

[meteorite-list] My first meteorite

[Larry & Twink Monrad]

I kind of like my story.  In late 1995 our friend and neighbor, Jim 
Kriegh,  told us that he had just possibly discovered a new meteorite 
strewn field and asked  me if I would like to go hunting there with him and 
John Blennert.  He said it was in an area called Gold Basin, where they had 
been prospecting for gold.Quite an exciting way to get one's first 
meteorite!
