In response to: = Message: 2 Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 05:55:49 -0600 From: "Brian Cox" Subject: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] RE- Customs holding packages To: "Meteorite-list" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Brian Schroeder, Warren and all you other blokes!! ;-) Brian, Thanks for sharing the info about the " NATURAL MINERAL SPECIMEN HC # 7103.10.00.00 " Harmonized code. I remember you telling us about this a couple of years ago or maybe longer, and when you mentioned that you'd been working in shipping it rang a bell. Thanks again for this code. I've now saved a file and printed it for future use. It's very much appreciated by me and all the others I'm sure. Warren and Gary, on the issue of you at first hand printing the customs form, which I normally have done in the past and then changing to the ebay printed format, did the printed ebay format have some errors on it or is it just too difficult for customs agents or shipping agents to understand? I gathered that there was something wrong with the ebay new format on their form, but you didn't mention exactly what it was or perhaps my old brain being filled with useless info could not decipher what you said. Let us all know. Hope things work out, and yes, I'm sure the Brits and everyone will be much happier with you. It has amazed me over the past few years that where a few years ago so many meteorites sold by U.S. collectors were only being sold to other U.S. dealers and collectors to now where there is much more of an international group that is buying from the U.S. We're not only all over the universe out in space, but International as well ;-) Have a wonderful, happy and safe day filled with cloud free skys and may a meteorite land in your yard today! Brian Cox -- The Census Bureau (yeah, they own that list!) provides a page to look a product up on "Schedule B", then as a second step, enter the result of that look-up to 'validate' the code as being 'current'. (Computers couldn't do that in one step, could they?) Start here: http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/schedules/b/ In a straightforward search for "collectible mineral specimen", I get directed to a Schedule B Harmonized Code in the 9705 group: 9705 Collections and collectors' pieces of zoological, botanical, mineralogical, anatomical, historical, archaeological, palaeontological, ethnographic or numismatic interest: Numismatic (collectors') coins: 970530 Gold . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Au g 970560 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Does that lead to big import duties, or delays in delivery? Does this section of the harmonized list seem more attractive: 2517 Pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, of a kind commonly used for concrete aggregates, for road metalling, or for railway or other ballast; shingle and flint, whether or not heat-treated; macadam of slag, dross or similar industrial waste, whether or not incorporating the materials cited in the first part of the heading; tarred macadam; granules, chippings and powder, of stones of heading 2515 or 2516, whether or not heat-treated: 2517.10.00 Pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, of a kind commonly used for concrete aggregates, for road metalling, or for railway or other ballast, shingle and flint, whether or not heat-treated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology
Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but the contribution mechanism kind of annoyed me. I think few things are more deserving of support than a teacher taking the initiative to make science exciting and compelling to young people. I nearly contributed, but then ran into some deal-breakers: While the 'DonorsChoose.org' web site does accept contributions by PayPal, they require that the donor 'pay-by-check' . . . The whole idea of PayPal is to not share unnecessarily your personal info. I would accept PayPal as it functions on ebay. . . . payee gets my email, my address, and the money. Secondly, once you share your email, there seems no way to 'opt-out' of being hit up with unrelated requests. I appreciate it when a person who shares a common interest sends me info about a worthy cause. Case in point: I recently contributed to the project discussed at the URL < http://projectfreedom.bbnow.org/about.php > , but it was because another recumbent bike enthusiast referred me to the site. Shared interest is the basis of 'community'. But I don't want some anonymous ''organizing entrepreneur' who accepts an (OPTIONAL???) donation equal to 17% of a project's costs deciding what I need to learn about next. And emailing me a steady stream of 'opportunities' to make 'optional' donations to his personal pocket. I get way too many unfocused solicitations as it is. That 17% seems a hefty cut to 'OPTIONALLY' accept for the service of sharing info, and processing the collection of EFTs. Just how optional is optional? The verbiage alone sets my teeth on edge.

Re: [meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology
Jim, you beat me to it ... I came back to my computer, thinking I might at least ask if you knew how a person could send a donation to the teacher and the school, and what do I find but your note suggesting just that. Mrs Baker does seem to be a pretty cool teacher. I might wish my kids had had such an imaginative science teacher. Someone with a personal website titled TheScienceQueen.net deserves more than lip service. Yes, I will forward her a donation via PayPal -- all I needed was her email address, and it shows up on her Science Queen page. Please don't let my personal biases and rant dissuade you from encouraging support for worthwhile activities. Goodness knows there is as big a need today as ever for creative science education.

[meteorite-list] Impact Glass from Barringer Crater?
I finally got myself a copy of Nininger's Find a Falling Star. It is
a great read, and insight into how doggedly he pursued his interests
against a steady stream of naysayers among those who might have been
inspired.
My immediate interest, is the passage on page 180, in which he
described a form of impact glass appearing in a variety of shapes,
including 'tear-shaped'. Unlike the typical solid glass Indochinite,
these seem to have encased a more non-homogenized interior, which
Nininger describes as 'spongy'. (In a sense of pourous, not flexible
or plastic) Here's a couple paragraphs from the book:
{begin quote}
Spurred on by discovery of the little metallic spheroids, I searched
and searched everywhere on all sides of the crater, on the rim and on
the plain beyond, examining everything more critically than ever
before, and one day made an even more exciting find.
I had stopped to examine a gravel pit dug into the crater rim by the
state highway commission. I found a few crushed bits of
yellow-green-brown slag; some showed a gray outer crust. I looked for
more, and soon picked up a small tear-shaped piece. It appeared the
same color as the light gray dust and gravel among which it lay, but
the rockhound's licking test revealed a dark greenish-gray color under
the dust. A canteenful of water dashed onto the gravel made it easier
to identify a number of such small "bombs" of various shapes and
sizes. All of these, when broken, were seen to be of a spongy
structure, but composed of brittle, glassy material. When I ground the
bits of slag on a sheet of carborundum cloth from my supplies in the
trunk of my car, and then held them under a pocket lens, they showed
small imbedded metallic particles, bright as chrome steel.
As I drove hurriedly back to the museum on Highway 66 to make a nickel
test, I puzzled over various questions. Could these be mere volcanic
cinders? Could lava fragments carry such imbedded metallic particles?
If these indeed were bomblets created by the impact of the meteorite,
why had they never before been discovered?
{end Quote}
In looking for additional info, I came across this:
http://www.impact-structures.com/2011/12/meteor-crater-arizona-discovery-of-impact-glass-spherules/
Not quite the same thing, but certainly intriguing! This would go
well along side my Wabar Pearls and Chicxulub spherules from Dogie
Creek, Wyoming.
I have searched some of the Tektite web sites hoping to find a source
for a specimen of the glass Nininger describes. I am coming up dry.
Does Nininger's material exist on the market? What is it called?
Any likelihood of tracking down those Barringer Crater spherules?
Any clarification will be appreciated.
Mike

Welcome to the game, Doug. Don't confuse tektites with meteorites, because they are quite distinct species. But they seem to have an inter-related history that ends up putting them in many of the same collections. And you live quite close to a hot-bed of discovery and debate about tektites. Check out the info on the Healdsburg variety. I've been told the best way to find them is walk the rows of a grape vinyard in the spring, after the ground has been tilled, and just after a light rain, when the tektites lie glistening on the surface! Then if you haven't already read up on them, see what the other branches of the tektite family are all about. -- Mike http://sonoma-dspace.calstate.edu/bitstream/handle/10211.1/1643/erickson_AGU%20poster%20Fall%202012.pdf?sequence=1 http://science.kqed.org/quest/2012/12/13/help-find-the-healdsburg-tektites/ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:37:27 -0800 From: "Douglas Chenin, DDS" Subject: [meteorite-list] hunting in northern CA?

[meteorite-list] Marginally Off-Topic; Impact Fractured Fossils
I'm intrigued by the physical tell-tales of impact events. Things like tektites, spherical glass or iron-nickel droplets all have a certain level of 'intuitive-simplicity'. Shatter-cones seem to reflect a general direction of energy propagation, with diffraction and redirection of wave as the advancing pressure encounters substances of different compressibility and susceptibility to micro fracture as the compressive and rarefaction regions proceed. (My presumed understanding may be way off base, but these items at least seem to make sense.) Fractured Belemnites really puzzle me. It seems countless numbers of these skeletal elements from ancient ancestors of today's squids were lying about when the Ries crater was created. Is there any discernible relationship between the direction of energy propagation and the planes of fracture? I have seen numerous examples of rocky matrix with multiple fractured belemnites embedded, each with its own set of generally parallel fractures, and no two items sharing a major horizon for cleavages. This arrangement can be seen in the current Ebay item # 321365886158. I have searched the web in vain for any description of the ways in which Belemnites may have captured and directed the energy, or how the structure of the belemnite itself would have predisposed it to these fracture patterns. I have tried stressing in different ways whole belemnite fossils (admittedly, a few million years of aging different from the conditions that may have prevailed 'back then'.) Nothing I can learn of says there is a diagonal structural weakness, yet many fractured specimens exhibit parallel, but oblique, or diagonal cleavages. Can anyone point me to an explanation, on the web, or in a book? Thanks much! __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Announcing, PetroViewer!
Dear List Members -- Don't you love those photos of thin sections, with all the dazzling colors, and the definitive chondrule shapes and all? And the cost of a single section is often right in line with the cost of a nice meteorite slice for my collection cabinet. So why don't I buy them? I lack a scope to examine them with! And the scopes I've seen on ebay leave me wondering, how functional is "vintage"? Am I ready to gamble $600 to $1,000 or more, plus another hundred for a nice thin section, to see if I am ready to go that way? Then I had an opportunity to examine a thin section under polarizers. Wow. Still pictures don't begin to reflect the fascinating effects when polarized light meets birefringent crystals! You don't have to be a geologist to recognize there's magic in them thar rocks! I was determined to find a way to share that with folks who haven't made the commitment to invest in a scope, and develop an expanded collection of thin sections. I fiddled around for two years, and the PetroViewer is the outcome. I believe my market is the meteorite enthusiast, or the rock hound, who has read about thin sections, seen the pictures, and still harbors a curiosity to check them out. In fact, I would take it as the greatest of successes if someone who experienced thin sections through a PetroViewer was bitten by the same excitement I felt, and proceeded to buy a real scope, and delve into all the petrology and mineralogy that thrives around thin sections. So today, I introduce a rather modest web site featuring the PetroViewer. PetroViewer.com I invite your comments, and suggestions, either on or off line, or via the Contact Us page of the site. I have found it challenging to keep my focus on providing users an economical way to experience much of the fascinating phenomena, rather than try to share all the other aspects of meteorites that I love. I'm certainly open to hearing list member's reactions. Thanks for any thoughts you might care to share.

[meteorite-list] Impactful Eclipse
From the NBC News account*, I see a familiar name: " And though it may be surprising to see an object strike the moon during a lunar eclipse, it’s not uncommon for the moon to get whacked. According to Randy Korotev, a lunar geochemist at Washington University in St. Louis, these impacts happen a lot on the moon. “I’m not at all surprised that they may have seen an impact,” Korotev said in an email. “The moon gets hit every day.”" Too bad the News folks didn't take the opportunity to request, and publish, any info on comparative energy yields of typical "daily" impacts, and the likely magnitude of the witnessed event. * https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/mach/amp/ncna961441 __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
