Re: [meteorite-list] Not an answer they like
Tracy,
When I find myself in this situation I tell them they can be certain it's not a
meteorite because I'm not offering them any money! I tell them how important a
new find/fall would be and that if this was a meteorite, I would be connecting
them with an institution and offering cash. This usually gets the point across.
Good luck!
Larry

that likely washed free of an upslope location and rolled/fell/bounced into his
yard. They found it the following day after a "loud thump that shook the
house", then picked it up and hosed it off, so don't have any pictures of it in
situ, just a shallow hole with muddy splash marks. I've told them several
times that it doesn't look like a meteorite: vesicles, not regmaglypts; no
fusion crust, nothing that identifies it as a likely meteorite, but they don't
want to hear it. Anyone who has dealt with a persistent "meteorite" finder,
how did you eventually get them to listen to reason/experience -- or not?

Re: [meteorite-list] Toxic Giant Hogweed Spreading - Warning to Meteorite Collectors
Graham's so right, it's hard to miss due to its size. Common hog weed which is rather 'uncommon' here in Michigan gets to a maximum of 6 feet tall, it truly is stunning with it's big tabletop size flowers and huge leaves. Giant hog weed, invasive here in the states, is huge! By mid summer the plants are 6 - 12 feet tall and are easily identified. I can't speak accurately for the rest of the country but here in Mich the Giant variety is extremely rare. I have 5 trucks on the road all summer long, out ridding the good people of our state of their poison ivy and other noxious and/or invasive plants. In all the years doing this we've only seen giant hog weed once. So if you find yourself out looking for a piece of the Hamburg meteorite don't worry too much about hog weed, but be very aware of the ubiquitous poison ivy!

Re: [meteorite-list] Ad 32 Auctions Lots of Good Deals!
Adam, Man, you are killing me. Are you just bored? Why are you singling out me and my auctions? I've never done anything to you, and don't say you are just trying to protect me and other dealers, you are drawing undo attention, that's not protection. Leave sleeping dogs lie. I can't believe that after the last few years of watching you drag people into ridiculousville you've finally got me. On one hand I really want to ignore you but I can't. I sell once a year, enough to cover a tiny percentage of the costs of the pursuit. I contribute valuable information and new meteorites to science as often as I can, all with my own hard earned money. I started my poison ivy control business 12 years ago just so that I could pursue meteorites and contribute to the science. I spent thousands of my own dollars to open up and document the Nevada side of Gold Basin, (which is now confirmed by Dr. Kring and publication is pending.) How much sweat and treasure do you think Osceola cost me? How about weeks and weeks on end for two winters in your back yard, unraveling the Bullhead City strewn field all on my dime? I've worked very hard over the years in my spare time to be a positive force in this hobby, sharing with whom ever and wherever I can. And yes, I'm defensive right now because I take your posts personally. I feel like you are trying to draw attention to me, specifically, right now while my once or so a year ebay ads are running, and I don't deserve that You should pick someone else to target, maybe someone that is actually out doing bad things. While I'm at it, if this was something that actually needed to be adhered to, everyone that has ever bought a questionable meteorite should throw it in the garbage right now. Universities and institutions that have procured these same falls and finds should throw theirs on the burn pile too, or turn themselves in and be prosecuted for trafficking. So as anyone of sound mind can see, that's ridiculous and these laws are very much not unlike other b.s. laws of the past and present, practically unenforceable and wrong to begin with. A crime needs a victim by definition and I don't see a victim here. Furthermore, the stones would have to be reclassified and proven to be legitimate, then in the case of say Battle Mountain, Gold Basin, Franconia or Indian Butte, to name a few, there is a checkerboard or mix of private / public land. Which stone is this? Where was this particular stone found? Prove where the stone came from! And all for what? What a joke, a complete waste of resources. It's like trying to enforce sodomy laws or tell people they can't smoke weed, forget it. My neighbor in Az is a county sheriff and I watch him do a rolling stop everyday at the stop sign in front of the house, do I lecture him? Should I call his boss? GET REAL. These laws you cite are wrong headed, or at the very least, if used to prosecute a guy like me, that would not be in the true spirit of which they were written. Despite the fact you say you don't agree with the laws, you seem to be quite an outspoken proponent on this list, unless of course it interferes with your pursuits. Adam, I used to have great respect for you, and though I can't take away anything positive you've done in the past, it would seem your days of positive contribution are over. During the past several years your posts have continually deteriorated in such a negative way that I don't respect you anymore. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you are the snitch you mention. You're not my meteorite Daddy and I didn't ask for your advice or your protection. Please do not comment on my posts in the future. Like I said to you once in the past, relax man, get outside and go find a meteorite. Find something constructive to do. Based on the emails, texts and phone calls I've received today, many others would agree.

[meteorite-list] Ad - and New Paper about Osceola
Hello List, I thought I'd share some new things today. First, Alan Rubin has produced a very interesting paper about some of the L chondrites in our collections, and Osceola played it's part. Be sure to give it a read, I found it fascinating! Here's a link to my Osceola page, Alan's paper is at the bottom. I still have some Osceola available. https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/osceola/ I've recently had 3 stones classified and I was super happy with the results. The first one is a case of redemption! I posted this one to the MPOD on 11/27/2015 and there was some doubt as to its meteoritic origins. Thankfully it is a meteorite, NWA 11107, 1 of only 11 with this classification. I am open to offers on the 2.5Kg stone. NWA 11107 2.56 kg Eucrite Melt Breccia, 1 of only 11 This one is special. The finder apparently burned some cloth on the stone when he found it, maybe giving thanks? It's a must see. https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/fujbqube0p2j9hqjp7yizncufiuszw NWA 11107 3.24g Eucrite Melt Breccia, 1 of only 11 https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/wwjgnwga3gn75luir7elwn9fvappze This one was a bit of a surprise. The stone was quite dark and I wasn't sure what to think of it, Howardite was not my first guess. NWA 11108 5.74g Howardite https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/nwa-11108-howardite-end-cut-5747-g This one I pretty much knew was a howardite. One look and you will agree, It's got that classic look! The pictures are a bit dark but it's actually very fresh looking material. NWA 11184 4.11g Howardite https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/nwa-11184-full-slice-4111-grams Entire Sales Page https://www.cosmicconnectionmeteorites.com/shop/ Thanks and enjoy the weekend!

Re: [meteorite-list] Another Land Grab In Nevada And Utah!
Ben, List, Ben says "The map of the Gold Butte National Monument that I saw on line, went from the border of the Lake Mead Recreational Park on the west, to the Arizona Border on the east and south, and almost to the the highway near Mesquite to the north." That encompasses the Nevada side of GB, game over! I sure am glad I got in there when I did. I think the vast majority of people are all for protecting archeological sites, dino bones and tracks, etc. I sure am. However, I've always been a fan of the 'middle of the road' when it comes to many things, it doesn't always have to be all or nothing. Closing off that much land makes no sense at all and Adam hit the nail on the head, there's such a thing as over regulation. And hey Mike, you don't have to make all that land off limits to stop trailer parks, be serious friend. I spent weeks and weeks in the Gold Butte area and saw nary a soul. This place has built in protections.. it's remote! The few people I saw didn't even get out of the car let alone pillage and plunder, and again, like Adam said, if thieves have a mind to steal, they will, and with impunity because nobody is there to report them anyway. I'm all for protecting what needs protecting but some of this stuff is out of hand. If laws are going to be passed like this there should be input from the people that actually use the land and have an interest in it, and some common sense should be applied. An example of nonsense rules, I can't collect pottery chips or worked stone but it's perfectly legal and okay for the cattle to pulverize it into oblivion. That makes no sense and leads to a lack of confidence in the officials that make the policies. Or how about not being able to swim in some of the reservoirs in California because it's a protected water body, but look over there, it's a herd of 40 cows standing chest deep dropping poop bombs into the drinking water! Someone needs to explain the logic in these things if they think it's the right way to manage the land. We all know that prohibiting the collection of meteorites on federal land is a bad idea. Those meteorites will never be found by scientists or "officials" and thus will be lost to science forever. How about some compromise?

Re: [meteorite-list] Larry Atkin's New Website
Hi Adam, List, Thanks for the compliment Adam. Yes, it took a few hundred hours or so to put it all together, going through old computers of mine looking for images, trying to remember details, and so on. The funny thing is that I left out so much! I've already begun a new folder of images to add to the site. Also, I only put a few items on the sale page to see how it works and I still need to load it up, so stand by, there's more to come. I looked at your pictures, Adam, nice work on the gold! I look forward to your field report as I was quite intrigued with last years image of the large iron mass on the mountain side, I can't wait to find out what it is and of course hear about the 'treasure' you found. p.s.

It must have taken you several hundred hours, if not a thousand to compile and author this awesome website. I have been to most of the places you have posted here in the southwest yet we have never crossed paths in the field. It proves, once again, that the southwestern US can produce high levels of excitement and adventure, practically in your own backyard, without ever having to step foot out of the country if you live here. I have not even had the time to post a field trip report on our grueling 2,200 mile plus, 2 week, September 2016 Team LunarRock hunt here in Nevada. I was especially interested in your Battle Mountain trip report since we own 2,800 plus feet of Trout Creek front passing through one of our properties in Lander County, Nevada. I wonder if meteorite hunters found anything near the creek you mention that the trout disappear underground in the Battle Mountain area. I did not find any meteorites in Battle Mountain but found other treasure.

A few new mysteries were added on this years hunt which ended with finding real treasure, besides gold, on the last day.

While still daylight, Quechua Indian eyewitnesses saw ‘corkscrew’ smoke trails and heard ‘whooshing’ noises followed by sonic booms and then stones literally falling at their feet!Michael Farmer and I went to Aiquile to hunt for meteorites and attempt to acquire stones from the inhabitants.

Just 24 hours at home after returning from the show, Michael flew to Florida to meet me. On December 8th we began our journey to South America from Miami. Our travels would take us by air to Aiquile by way of La Paz and then on to Cochabamba and then by private hire to Aiquile. With no sleep for over 30 hours of travel from home to the dusty town near the strewnfield, we were exhausted but too excited to rest. We went right to work meeting with fellow meteorite hunter, Dario Ruiz, who had been there for two weeks. He introduced us to individuals about hunting for meteorites or buying some, but our hopes were quickly dampened by the news of the town’s government putting up road blocks to deny access to the strewnfield. It turns out that the officials were confiscating stones from the Quechua finders which put them in a panic and afraid to talk to outsiders. Things quickly became complicated.Dario, Michael and Greg in Aiquile.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia5.jpgView looking up the Aiquile strewnfield from the Quechua trail.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia6.jpgCactus are a common beauty in the strewnfield.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia7.jpgWe realized we were not going to be able to hunt for stones ourselves without the threat of arrest, or far worse, physical harm from protective villagers we were told may use force to stop outsiders from hunting. Knowing this, we immediately went to ‘Plan B’ and were granted secret meetings with owners of pieces from the fall. To our thrill and amazement, we were able to see several stones ranging from small broken fragments to large kilo-sized pieces. Throughout the 48-hours we were on site we were told of several large pieces included a 50-kilo ‘Puzzle Stone’ which we believe to be just rumor as is consistent with most falls.Reflecting upon a fresh meteorite.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia8.jpg100-plus gram fragment.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia9.jpgSame 100-gram fragment displaying ‘Slickensides’.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia10.jpgInterior indicating a shocked high metal H Chondrite.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia11.jpgOn our second day we had an early start with a scheduled meeting to see some stones, but being on ‘Bolivia time’ we sat for several hours waiting, waiting and waiting some more. To keep us from leaving and going to other contacts, our new friend entertained us with some guitar play dressed in his caballero ranch clothing made of javelina, lama and other durable animal skins. Aiquile is known as the ‘Capitol of Charango’ (guitar) where the guitar is manufactured. It was nice to enjoy this flavor of music high in the mountain village.Local Quechua playing a Charango guitar.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia12.jpgVideo of the music of Bolivian friendship:http://www.naturesvault.net/Videos/AiquileBoliviaVideo1.mp4Newly fallen meteorite with Charango guitar.http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia13.jpgNoon was soon upon us with nobody bearing stones for us to consider so we walked down the street for lunch and chose one of a few street vendors offering potatoes and sausage.

[meteorite-list] Ad - Osceola Fall
Hello Meteorite Fans, As you've probably heard, Osceola is now official! In celebration, we would like to make some material available to the collector market. A lot of people have been asking for it but we wanted to wait until it was officially recognized. There are a few interesting facts about this meteorite that I'd like to share with those that are not aware. First, this meteorite is scientifically interesting, more so than the average L6 chondrite. It is currently being studied in the lab and results will be published in the near future. Next, this is only the 6th meteorite from Florida and only the second witnessed fall from that state.That's some of the lowest meteorite counts for any state in the U.S., with only a few having less. This is the only witnessed fall from Florida to become available to the collector!! The other witnessed fall (Orlando), was a ~180g single stone and as far as I know it has never been offered for sale. Osceola was the 9th fireball of 10, tracked down and located using Doplar radar, a rare occurrence to say the least. Other meteors have fallen in Florida and people have tried to find them but it's never happened, likely due to the inhospitable hunting conditions. I'm aware of at least 4 parties that have gone out on multi day hunts looking for Osceola without success. The remaining meteorites are being assimilated, the swamp is consuming them and they are turning into the Earth right now. It's unlikely that anymore than a stone or two more will ever be found, let alone a mother load. This is a very rare, collectible fall meteorite. In hand the slices are quite nice. The material looks best unpolished so that is how they are offered. With a hand lens, in good light, you can easily see the abundant copper, as well as a host of other colors like green, gold, blue and bronze, a whole rainbow unlike anything I've personally noticed in a meteorite. There are a few thin shock veins, some black and some filled with metal. Thin black fusion crust surrounds each slice, contrasting nicely with the lighter, yet slightly shock darkened interior. The full slices range in weight from 16 grams up to 41 grams. If you've not yet read the story of the fall and recovery, go to Mikesastrophotos site and check it out. He's written an exciting story with lots of pictures. Space.com picked up the story too, as well as many others. http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/comets/osceola-meteorite-recovery/ Space.com http://www.space.com/32046-florida-fireball-meteorite-hunt-success.html You can also see a t.v. interview with me here; http://www.news4jax.com/news/hunters-find-meteorites-in-the-osceola-national-forest I've prepared an array of specimens to suit most collector budgets. Full slices and large part slices will be presented in a high quality Riker Box with an identification card. Smaller part slices and fragments come in a plastic gem jar and include an ID card as well. Please keep in mind there is a very limited amount of this material and it's first come, first served. There are 8 full slices total, maybe only 7 if I need to break one up for smaller pieces. Out of the 991 grams TKW there is about 400 grams total that will be made available. Prices break down like this: < 1 gram is $175/g 1 - 5 grams $150/g 6 - 10 grams $125/g 11+ grams $100/g Email me off list for for inquiries and photo's. Thanks and have a great day!

It is an impressive feat that anything was found at all, even with the nice radar returns. I have one correction: I'm pretty sure Larry was the second on the scene. Steve Arnold drove all night from Arkansas to arrive (I believe) the morning after the fall -- Monday, January 25. --Rob -Original Message- From: Meteorite-list [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Michael Gilmer via Meteorite-list Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2016 11:00 AM To: Meteorite List Subject: [meteorite-list] Osceola Meteorite is Official! Osceola meteorite is official, approved by NonCom and entered into the Met Bull today - http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=63109 Osceola 30�27.16�N, 82�27.25�W Florida, USA Confirmed fall: 2016 Jan 24 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L6) History: (Mike Hankey, Larry Atkins, Laura Atkins, Josh Adkins, Brendan Fallon, Robert Matson, Marc Fries) On Sunday Morning 24 January at 10:27 EST (15:27 UTC) a large daytime fireball streaked across the sky in northern Florida. Over 100 eyewitnesses reported the event to the American Meteor Society (Event 2016-266), describing a white sparkling head and plume of white smoke left behind. Fireball researchers Marc Fries and Rob Matson, found the American Meteor Society witness trajectory intersected with a group of radar returns that appeared shortly after the fall. The radar returns were strong, found at multiple altitudes and located on multiple stations: KJAX, KVAX and KTHL. Larry Atkins was the first on the scene. Mike Hankey arrived 5 days after the fall with Brendan Fallon and joined Larry and Laura Atkins in the hunt. On the 6th day, Mike Hankey found the first stone at 8.5 g on the eastern edge of the primary radar return. Within 2 hours Larry Atkins found the second stone (18.5 g) directly under the radar. The next day, two more stones were found: a 5.5 g stone by Laura Atkins and a 48.5 g stone by Mike Hankey. Six days later over 2 miles away from the first find, an 839 g mass was found by Josh Adkins and Brendan Fallon. A week after that, Larry Atkins found the last stone, weighing 75.5 g. In total 6 stones were found over a three week hunting period for a total weight of 990.5 g. Physical characteristics: Thin, well formed shiny fusion crust covers the exterior of four of the stones, while two of them, the 43 g and the 839 g are matte black. This is likely due to submersion in wet sand and/or water prior to recovery. Some small rust spots are evident on some of the stones as well. Small regmaglypts are present on the 43 g and the 839 g stones, and the remaining stones are irregularly shaped with little to no orientation. Some chondrules are visible through the crust. The interior of the meteorites are slightly darkened due to shock. Shock veins are present, some of which are black while others are filled with metal, appearing as long "strings" up to 3 mm long. Though most of the chondrules have been altered and are not well defined, some rare, large chondrules up to 0.8 mm are present. Petrography: Plagioclase grains are up to 100 �m in size, consistent with type 6. No maskelynite was found. There are numerous chromite-plagioclase assemblages, consistent with moderately strong shock. Chromite grains are fractured. Troilite is polycrystalline. Metallic copper occurs as 2-�m-thick bands at the metal-troilite interface in an opaque assemblage. The chondrules are recrystallized and poorly defined. The only discernible chondrules are large ones, 800-1000 �m across; these are BO and PO textural types. Geochemistry: Olivine Fa23.7�0.3 (n=21), Orthopyroxene Fs20.2�0.2Wo1.6�0.2 (n=14). Also present are small grains of diopside: Fs7.4 Wo44.9 (n=1). Plagioclase has a mean composition of Ab71.7�1.6 Or8.8�2.5 (n=8); the low Na and high K values are a result of shock.

Re: [meteorite-list] Osceola searches
Rob, A quick tally suggests I spent approximately 190 hours in the field for my 2 stones. My friend Darryl and my Uncle Brent spent about 80 hours each, without a find. Laura probably hunted about 125 hours or so for her one stone. My 2 brothers were there for a few days, no finds. Mike made his 2 finds rather quickly, this was his fall ; ) Josh and Brendon I can't recall how many hours for their 1 stone but I'd say they hunted at least 7-10 days.

First off, Mike Hankey deserves special notice since often the first indication we have of a new potential fall is the AMS website that he maintains. Marc Fries was the first to spot the nice Lubbock radar returns for this fall -- less than 18 hours after the event! I compiled those, and additional returns I found in the Amarillo radar, and then went on a search for seismic signatures or videos that could be used to pin down the time of the event. One Youtube video surfaced right away, taken from a dashcam on highway 183 near Euless, Texas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMkeVGSlV7o Pat Branch did some quick work measuring terminus angles, concluding that the vector lined up perfectly with the radar returns east of Lubbock. I soon located two more videos, one from some still undetermined location near Augusta, Kansas (east of Wichita) and some 580 km (!) from the fall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPDoZYfH4ko and another from a dashcam near Edmond, OK, north of Oklahoma City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPb7jrtX4p0 Pat Branch was successful in contacting the driver of this car who provided his exact location. There are numerous landmarks in this video that allowed me to determine reasonably accurate starting and ending directions. Triangulating this video with the one from Euless led to a fairly steep fireball entry angle and a nearly due west trajectory. However, upper atmospheric winds were relatively strong (over 100 mph to the southeast,) and not surprisingly this is the trend we see in the radar returns. All that remained was to get an accurate time for the event so that meteorite masses could be estimated (based on the time delay between the fall and when various radar volumes were scanned). Unfortunately, none of the three videos above has a sufficiently accurate timetag. But here again Pat came to the rescue. Rob Ferguson (the provider of the Edmond, OK dashcam) emailed Pat telling him that the fireball was also captured by the Oklahoma Dept. of Emergency Management's tower cam, and that a friend of his (Putnam Reiter) works there and pulled the video for him. This has a great, unobstructed view of the event, being up on a tower some 200 feet! Most importantly, it has a very accurate timetag, being regularly synced with a NTP server. So we now knew the beginning of the event was at 3:44:08 UT (21:44:08 CST). I determined that the earliest radar returns of the fall were from Amarillo NEXRAD at 3:45:49.7, just 99 seconds after the beginning of dark flight (~21:44:11 UT). This was how we knew meteorites were on the ground for sure, since dust or even small pebbles can't fall that far in less than 2 minutes. Anyway, this is getting a bit long and I want to get these details out there sooner rather than later in order to credit some of the important players that made this all happen. Hopefully it gives you a sense of the amount of detective work goes into chasing down these falls, and how much of a team effort it is. Cheers!

Re: [meteorite-list] Case study: Lake Eyre meteorite vs. U.S.
Hi Adam, What I said is true. Unenforced laws are meaningless. A warning or whatever. really doesn't add up to anything of substance, and without actual charges or at least a ticket, it's just words. I'm guessing, only guessing, the incidents you mentioned happened during, or just after the peak of the" Met Men" series, when the BLM was on a mission to keep us from making all that 'easy money'. I'd bet those same officers watching eBay have tired of the activity and moved on to bigger fish long ago. Not much to get uptight about on eBay regarding American meteorites "poached" from state or federal land. It wouldn't take long for them to figure out that monitoring eBay is a nonstarter, not enough money to merit the effort. The crater is the exception but that's a whole other topic. I spend a lot of time in the field, thousands of hours, and I have hard core meteorite hunting buddies pounding the ground for thousands of hours per year without incident. Every single officer I've come into contact with was aware of what I was doing and never once have I had an issue. Some day if we ever get together we can share some stories. As far as artifacts and fossils go you are correct, but only to a point. You can surface collect in most areas as far as I know. I can pick up fossils all day long, no one cares until I find 'Sue'. The same will hold true for meteorites, no one is gonna care until I recover the first North American Lunar. The heat has cooled off.

Two agents based out Barstow went as far as saying they know what is being sold on eBay. We were told that some public land is designated as heritage or areas of areas of critical concern which are completely off limits while metal detectors cannot be used in other areas.

Not illegal or immoral..just not > ideal I think what you are getting at is that only a small fraction of each of these falls made it into the hands of researchers. There are a couple points to consider: (1) How much material do researchers really need to extract the majority of pertinent scientific data from a fall? Sure, if you had infinite time you'd love to have all of it since the individual meteorites from a fall are not necessarily homogenous. (Case in point: Almahata Sitta). But balanced against this is the question of how much more you're going to learn by analyzing all of the stones from an L6 fall. (2) If private citizens were prohibited from profiting from the recovery of meteorites, would you expect a negative impact on the quantity of recovered material from a new fall? I think this is undeniable, and therefore it certainly follows that the total mass deposited with accredited institutions would suffer. And it's not just the quantity, it's the quality. A meteorite recovered within 24 hours of a fall is obviously more scientifically valuable than one recovered a month later, when terrestrial weathering has altered some rare minerals, and short-lived radioisotopes have decayed below the threshold of detectability. (3) Successful meteorite recovery requires a significant skill set AND considerable expenditures of time and money. In the U.S., I expect that more than 95% of the annual resources made available through government grants to recover meteorites goes to ANSMET. I've spent thousands of unpaid hours on the analysis of nearly all U.S. falls that have occurred in the last 15 years, as well as a number of falls outside America, and have devoted a not insignificant amount of time and money traveling to many of these places to recover meteorites. On each of these expeditions I tend to encounter the same couple dozen of dedicated individuals -- names that would all be familiar to anyone on the Meteorite List. On occasion I have seen other scientists "in the field," but I suspect in most cases it was on their own dime and not in an official paid capacity. Meteoriticists a
Re: [meteorite-list] Mining Asteroids
Hi Sean, Think of it like this. If you put the Earth in a giant blender, mix it all up, then take a shovel full, the ratio of precious metals would be higher than if you didn't blend it. In essence it would be like sampling a chondritic asteroid. Go to an asteroid or bring one back, every scoop is high in rare earth elements because it is not differentiated and is equal to the solar ratio. That's the way I understand it.

Key Capital Announces Major Potential Meteorite Mining Opportunity Joint
Ventured
CNN Money
December 02, 2015: 08:30 AM ET
Key Capital Corporation (OTC PINK: KCPC) ("Key Capital" or "the Company")
advises that the Company has entered into a joint venture for the exploitation
of a highly promising and exciting Arizona resource property.
The orebody located on the property is well known as a magnetite resource
having been the subject of extensive historic exploration since the 1960s.
In recent years, through identification of extraordinary high-grade iridium
in samples, it became evident that a significant part of the orebody on
the property is of meteorite origin, and it was established that the orebody
presented major potential for precious metals and PGMs.
Iridium is usually found naturally only in small concentration and quantity
and the total annual world production of iridium, which sells for around
US$580 per ounce, is only 3 tons. Concentrations of iridium such as in
the analysis of ore samples from the property, including associated high-grade
osmium, is only found in meteorites in association with other high-grade
precious metals, and the ore in this case appears to be "Achondrite" in
origin.
Recognizing that an alternative assay approach needed to be used, an ore
sample was sent to an independent specialist laboratory and the resultant
reported precious and rare metals content proved to be extraordinary:
In general, the natural composition of a meteorite is relatively consistent
and in most cases very rich in mineralization. The opportunity to capitalize
on the potential of this identified meteorite ore is unique and exciting,
and, subject to expectations being met during the course of bulk sampling
commencing in Q1, 2016, it is planned to then commence mining operations
by 2016 year-end.
The project does not have a proven resource or reserve and is not compliant
with SEC or NI 43-101 reporting standards. However, when considering the
relatively high content of precious and rare metals known to be found
in certain meteorites when compared to traditional mines, the Company
has determined that the most effective and efficient method of development
is to prove up grade, recoverability and viability through bulk sampling,
and then to move directly to scaled-up commercial production.
Christopher Nichols, President/CEO of Key Capital stated: "The idea that
asteroids can be mined for their high-grade valuable resources has been
around for years and in recent times has attracted many high-profile investors
including Larry Page, Eric Schmidt, James Cameron, Ross Perot, and Richard
Branson. The opportunity to mine a meteorite presents unique potential,
but without the high-risk, expected costs and uncertainty of establishing
mining operations in a space environment."
ABOUT KEY CAPITAL: Key Capital is a financial services company providing
alternative finance solutions to resource and energy projects. The Company
is growing a Mineral and Energy Bank of accretive interests in diverse
commodity streams through the provision of structured and equity financing
for mid-market resource production in mines containing gold, silver, or
base metals, or in energy products. The Company is a Georgia corporation
headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

[meteorite-list] Midwest Fireball
Hi List, My brother in law called me a while ago and said he and my sister saw a large, 5-6 second fireball break in half, traveling approximately south to north at about 8:30 or so this evening in Michigan. Anybody else in the Midwest see this?

Murray via Meteorite-list To: Meteorite-list Sent: Thu, Nov 19, 2015 11:59 am Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Introducing the Worlds Newest Meteorite fall -Creston Robert Ward is in the field in California, and asked me to pass this along to the list! He recovered the first stone from the fall, and is continuing his expedition. Make sure to click the link below to see the story, along with photos from Robert on his Website, robertwardmeteorites.com... -- On October 23, 2015, at 0547 UTC, a large fireball lit up the rolling hills of wine country east of Paso Robles. The bolide stunned onlookers with a multitude of colors as it broke up into many pieces. The magnitude of the fall was so great that the spectacle was even observed several states away. Dozens of witnesses close to the ground path heard sonic booms shortly after the fireball terminated. By the next day, the American Meteor Society had received over 120 reports. At first I was confused by what I saw in the data in the various AMS reports. As I sorted through a number of eye witness descriptions, it was soon clear that there were two events near to one another, both in distance and in time. I began working through the reports from the larger event individually, narrowing down the area to San Luis Obispo County. And focusing on eye witness reports in this area, I found one report in particular that caught my attention. The eye witness reported what sounded "like bombs falling," and that the meteor had passed directly overhead. I contacted Marc Fries with the location and suggested the fall was probably within a few miles of the eye witnesses location. Within minutes, Marc found radar returns in the area that corresponded with the time of the event. On October 27th, my wife Anne Marie and I arrived in the area under the returns Marc Fries had discovered. Within twenty minutes, we found a stone that had hit a metal fence post and shattered, showering the road embankment with fragments. We recovered 395.7 grams of material from the site and subsequently reassembled the majority of the stone. -- More here, with pictures: http://robertwardmeteorites.com/creston-california/ We'll be posting more pictures, information and details on the expedition as the hunt progresses.

Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew a find.
Hi John, List, You may be right about not having a problem getting a US chondrite classified, however, if it was found in the Mohave desert it is likely to get a number instead of a name. Unfortunately, Nom Com will likely lump it in with the nearest DCA, I'm wondering how much longer it will be before the entire Mohave desert is one big DCA like NWA?

I'd love to see a photo also, but I live in Philadelphia so I won't be seeingthis in person. :-) That aside,I'm assuming from your post that this is a"chondrite" native to the USA, and not just another NWA. I have about 25 NWA'sundergoing classification now, and I have more I'd like to get classified but itis indeed hard to find a lab that will work on NWAs that look like obvious OCs. I think that is a mistake on their part, because there are so many uniquethings to be found in meteorites. In my opinion, many labs would thinkdifferently about a "native" US chondrite, than an NWA chondrite. I do notthink you will have trouble finding a home for it if it is a USA find.

They better!:)this was a group effort, the trip wouldn't have gone so perfectwithout eitherof them. Enjoy!!!Day 1We boarded our plane at about 6:40am and we werefortunate to get toboard first, I got the window seat that I wanted and Icould look outperfectly. We took off at 7:20am and it was a great amazingride!Cleveland looked beautiful even though it was mostly cloudy, thesunpeaking through only a little and the lake was the same color as thesky,I couldn't tell where the water ended and the sky began. A fewminutes later wewere above the clouds. They were all wavy and itlooked like one big comforterthat you could just land on and it'dcatch you. An hour or so later we finallypassed the front and all theclouds beneath us and I got my first view of theland from 37,000 feetup, it was stunning! The trees formed around rivers, itlooked likeroots under trees or the structure of the universe branching outawayfrom the rivers. The landscape really did look like a topographicmapwith brown, tan, and green squares and rectangules everywhere. Thehouseslooked like sparkles on the earth. Hours later we were finallyseeing a changein the land from farm land to desert. Some spots weretan and some were red. Weflew over a canyon but I'm not sure if itwas the grand canyon but nonethelessit was beautiful, I could see theriver inside the canyon. A little later weflew over the tallestmountains that I've ever seen, they we completely snowcovered. Anhour or so later we started making our decent, once we passedthecloud cover Vegas was in site and it was huge!!! I could seethestratosphere standing tall and all the hotels and casinos. Thepilotlanded the plane so beautifully and smooth. We made our way throughtheridiculously huge airport trying to find the baggage claim, we hadto get on anAmtrak to get to the baggage claim area. Once we gotthere I saw a young manwaving at me, I had no idea who this was andthought for a moment that someoneI knew from Ohio came too and Icouldn't remember them. He walked over and tomy surprise it wasRogan! I was in shock, I had no idea he would come. Ihad asked along time ago if he could be there but he couldn't give me astraightanswer and lead me to believe that he couldn't go. I was so happythathe actually came! From there we got our rental van and we drovethroughlas Vegas Blvd to check out the Vegas scene. I'll only be hereonce so I had tosee the city. We stopped at New York New York for anamazing breakfast followedby the hard rock cafe and some gambling. Icouldn't believe that they actuallyhad Vegas showgirls out on thesidewalks. After that we headed to pahrump whereour hotel was tochange for dinner, we had reservations to the Top of TheWorldrestaurant in the stratosphere hotel and casino. During the drivebackthrough the mountains we saw a rain cloud and a beautifulrainbowembedded inside. The view was stunning, the restaurant was amazingandthe food was incredible! There were people bungee jumping off the sideofthe building. Our waiter was so good that when I asked for plasticsilverwareand he said that they had none he actually went to anotherplace in thebuilding to get me some. The service was amazing. Wefinished a bottle of roseabaringer wine it was very good. Once it gotcompletely dark the lights in thedistance were shimmering like starsin the sky.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Hi Anne, List, I for one am sad to see the decline in list activity. I've been on here for many years and I miss the multiple, daily posts that we used to get. It was such an active, fun, educational, and entertaining place! (sometimes a little mean, too) I joined facebook some time ago so as not to feel as out dated as I actually am : ) and to keep up with the times. Unfortunately for me, I don't seem to get the joy from facebook that the met list of old gave me. I have barely said 2 words on facebook. I really can't put my finger on what the disconnect is, but it's there. Perhaps it's the snippets of info instead of more details, maybe it's the hundreds of people that want to be my 'friend' that I've never heard of. Maybe I feel like it's going to be to much of a commitment once I dive in? On top of all this is the privacy issue, real or imagined. The future is knocking and I know it's only a matter of time before I have to give in to change so as not to go socially extinct!

[meteorite-list] Classification Correction- Gold Basin
Hello List, For those that were paying attention to the Gold Basin thread, I made a mistake and sent the classification details for the wrong meteorite! I had several stones classified at the same time and I copied the write up for a different L6, not GB. Here's the correct info. UCLA (Rubin, Breen) specimen 1938, received October 2, 2014, 1 piece, 66.2 g L6 S5W2 olivine: Fa 23.3±0.2 (n=11); low-Ca pyroxene: Fs20.2±0.7 Wo1.0±0.2 (n=15) The rock exhibits strong mosacisim and contains maskelynite. Polycrystalline troilite is present. Some metal grains contain small, irregularly shaped troilite grains within them. Thanks to everyone for the congrat's and kind words.

[meteorite-list] Gold Basin
Hello List, As you may have heard, there has been a major development concerning the Gold Basin strewn field. Of course, it's possible this is not GB but the evidence looks very promising. Three years ago Joe Franske ventured to the north side of Lake Meade in search of the big end of Gold Basin. According to Joe, it took him 6 tries to get to the right location, but once he did, it took him only 3 hours to find a meteorite. This is a monumental feat to say the least. He brought me in on the project last March and I take no credit for this discovery. Sure, we all had an idea that the strewn field crossed the lake, we all drew lines, but only one guy had the steel to go get it done. Hats off to Joe. Joe and I have decided we are pretty much done out there for now. We documented well over 100 pounds, most of which was found on the south side of Jumbo Peak. Last week I extended the field another 5.75 miles with 2 finds on the north side of Jumbo, including a 34 pound stone that was broken into many pieces. We decided to give you guys some details regarding the find locations, hence this message, but in return we would like to know about any finds you make so that we may continue documenting the strewn field. Jim Kreigh, John Blennert and Twink Monrad did a fantastic job documenting in the past and we would like to do the same. I know there are some hunters out there that will not share and so be it, but most of us are good people and I would expect some cooperation for the good of the larger picture. Please send your reports to me so that I can share them with the scientist involved with our work. Joe found the first stone on the south side of Jumbo Peak and that is where the majority of the finds were made. The area is only about a mile wide and I highly doubt that defines the outer limits of the field, however, to go farther east or west is difficult due to terrain. Go onto Google earth and you will see the valley just south of the peak, and north of the park boundary, this is where you start. On the north side of Jumbo Peak you will find most of the area too soft for meteorite recovery. Decomposing granite has likely buried the stones too deep for detection. In my mind it's a small miracle that I found the 2 stones on that side. To put the difficulty into perspective, we spent 36 man days to locate the 2 stones and out of four hunters I was the only one to score. That place will hand your butt to you on a platter, as they say. As a side note; If you decide to give this place a try there are some things to consider. To get to the south side of Jumbo you will need a 4 wheel drive and it takes about 3.5 - 4 hours once you leave Mesquite. There is no phone service and the road out wants to eat your truck! If you go, plan to stay for several days at least, it's a lot of work and expense just for a day or two. If you have any specific questions feel free to email me. Good luck and fair sailing to all who go! Here's the low down on the science so far. I submitted samples from my 16+ lb. stone (found March, 2014) to UCLA this past summer. It did come back L6 as can be seen below. Dr. Kring wants to do more work including cosmogenics and such, on several different samples to help come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is indeed Gold Basin . When asked how I know it's GB I say that the classification is consistent, they look the same in hand, on the exterior and the interior, and they are in line with the logical progression of the known field. Sure, it could be something different, but simply put, the easiest, most obvious and logical answer is usually the right answer. I'd be very, very surprised if it was something else. UCLA (Rubin, Breen) "received August 18, 2014, 2 pieces, 23.7 g L6 S4 W1 olivine: Fa 23.9±0.2 (n=15); low-Ca pyroxene: Fs20.3±0.3 Wo1.6±0.2 (n=12) plagioclase grains are typically 60-100 µm in size. The rock exhibits weak mosacisim but does not contain maskelynite."

[meteorite-list] Global Meteorite Price Report 2015
Hello List, It's been quite a while since I've posted to the list but I thought I'd comment on Kevin Kichinka's price report. I must admit that I've not purchased it in the past, though it sounded interesting. Maybe I was afraid to see how much I overpaid for some of my specimens, or how little I sold one of my finds for, etc.. As luck would have it, somehow I managed to win his contest on the Chely event and part of my prize was a free copy of the report. After reading all 33 pages I must say I found it very informative, comprehensive, useful, interesting, and entertaining! I have found it to be a 'must have' for the future and I encourage those of you on the fence to go ahead and make the purchase, you will not be disappointed. Kevin is an excellent writer, as demonstrated in his articles written for "Meteorite" and his book " The Art of Collecting Meteorites" which I bought a year or so ago, another must have for collectors. Thanks for the contributions Kevin!
