[meteorite-list] Hunting Moldavites and some rare insights

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

A fellow rockhound who is from BC who owns a great shop in Vancouver just 
posted a surprisingly insightful video of him digging for moldavites.

I think you all might enjoy this.

[meteorite-list] AI Rap about meteorites

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

My second interaction with Chat APT and it kinda blew me away...
See for yourself:


Chat APT initiated by Paul Gessler

"write rap song in the style of tupac and doja kat about meteorites"

Verse 1:
Tupac:
Listen up y'all, I'ma spit it real hot
About the rocks that fall, yeah they really rock the block

From outer space they come, with fire and a blaze

Meteorites they're called, they leave us in a daze

Doja Cat:
But don't you worry, they won't hit your house
Most burn up in the air, before they hit the ground
They're made of stone and ice, and sometimes metal too
Falling to the earth, with a trail of light that's true

Chorus:
Meteorites, they're falling from the sky
Bringing us the wonders, of the universe high
They're falling all around, don't be afraid
Just watch and enjoy, the cosmic parade

Verse 2:
Tupac:
These rocks have traveled, for millions of years
Through the vastness of space, facing no fears
They're ancient history, brought back to life
With every impact, they give us a new light

Doja Cat:
Some say they're a curse, but that's just not the case
They bring us new knowledge, and a better human race
So next time you see one, don't hide or run
Embrace the beauty, of what we've just begun

Chorus:
Meteorites, they're falling from the sky
Bringing us the wonders, of the universe high
They're falling all around, don't be afraid
Just watch and enjoy, the cosmic parade

Outro:
Tupac:
So remember my friends, don't be scared of the night
When a meteorite falls, it'll be a beautiful sight
And who knows what we'll find, in the fragments we collect
So let's keep our eyes open, and not neglect

Doja Cat:
This cosmic treasure, that's ours to claim
So let's learn and discover, and never be the same
So here's to the meteorites, and all they bring
The universe is ours, let's go and do our thing.

Drop the MIc !

My heart is broken. Dave was a man of integrity and for whom I have
great respect.
He has supported me in many ways. I've shared a beer and I've shared
some tears with him. He stands as an icon in the meteorite community
and a great family man.

Both Kat and I send our love and prayers to the Gheesling family,
especially Maddie and Kasia.

Dave was a truly genuine person and I am so grateful to have been his
friend and a part of his life. Rest in Peace my friend

Folks,
It’s with a heavy heart that I write to the meteorite community this 
evening.
Dave Gheesling passed away yesterday (11/11), and we’re all trying to 
process the sudden loss.  He was my best friend.  I don’t have the words 
to express how much he meant to me, how much he influenced my life, and 
how blessed I was to have known the man.
Dave’s love of family & friends, his positivity, his generosity and his 
enthusiasm for life are the example he has left for us all.  Dave has been 
an important part of our community, and his contributions will live on as 
his legacy for many decades to come.
I apologize for the abruptness of an email communication, but we were only 
able to contact a few people this evening, given the hour.  Please, if you 
need anything, contact me directly so that we can give Dave’s family the 
time they need to prepare for the service.  I will post more details as 
they are available.

Yours,

Re: [meteorite-list] What Is This Thing? Mystery Rock or Meteorwrong?

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

"Air Force personnel work in the TSC-62 technical control central van during 
arctic training Exercise JACK FROST 77, Jack Frost '77 exercised command and 
control techniques and procedures for joint task force operations."


The cube reads AN/TSC-62 ,   the AN indicates antenna I think

probably a piece of some military communications device given in recognition 
of their particular involvement would be my guess.

On Reddit, there is an item (rock?) labeled "AN/TCS-62" that
many people are guessing is either a meteorite or Moon rock at:

Although I disagree with either identification, the members

this mystery specimen is.

Have fun,

[meteorite-list] Modern Burnishing

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

Want everyone's opinion / on this highly unusual morphology.
I don't doubt it is a real meteorite at all just that one side looks altered 
or is HUGELY UNIQUE
Christies is currently selling it and gives a cryptic explanation for its 
shape as "Modern burnishing"

What the hell does that mean exactly?
they also mention it could be naturally ventifacted.???

Either way I have never seen anything quite like it in the meteorite world.

Anyone else have an explanation ... please chime in on this.

I saw this as a headline on CNN homepage
It even had billing over Elon Musk and Kavanaugh when I saw it.

After reading the report on its being excavated in 1930 or thereabouts from 
a crater after a loud crash and being warm to the touch etc.

I had to laugh!
Now if you had collected a freshly fallen Siderite moments after impact 
would it look like it has been weathered for 10,000 years !

No it wouldn't

I have no doubt about its authenticity but the story is far fetched

also made a pinhole projector so that not only could I view the eclipse 
through the slice of NWA 5000, I could project the eclipse through it.  My

during the eclipse but it was still visible.

Very sad news,
Eugene A. Cernan has died at the age of 82
Can't believe the last man to walk on the Moon has passed away.

My wife once met him and he personalized a copy of the Book "Full Moon" for 
me.

He signed it;

  Dear Paul
May The Meteorites Fly Your Way
 Gene Cernan Apollo XVII

Please everyone take a moment to research this INCREDIBLE man and his life 
in The space program.

He was a LEGEND!

or have they been completely converted to iron sulfides?

Any of the scientists from Sweden know?

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

Mr Pierce,

He is being "amazingly rude" because you think we are amazingly naive.
We are not. We have seen this CRAP before many many times and it just doesn’t 
fly.
I asked to see a photo of your meteorite precisely because I was a bit 
suspicious.
Upon reviewing the photos it is VERY CLEAR that it is another Campo del 
Cielo.
So instead of wasting PSU;’s time I will give you the classification right 
now.

What you have is :
classification Octahedrite  Group IAB  Composition 92.9% Fe, 6.7% Ni, 0.4% 
Co
So you see you don’t even have to worry about cutting your precious 
hoax.

Simply dissolve back into obscurity where you belong.
No one here cares about your story.

PS,
   I googled your name and...you wouldn’t happen to be a former Law 
enforcement officer would you?

just curious

-Paul Gessler

Is your rudeness typical of this meteorite community, or are you just a

I don't know what a "pen Oregon" iron meteorite is".  Can you explain? 
Because I am new to this stuff.


You are the only person so far who has claimed to be able to classify this 
meteorite from only a photo.


But let me clarify again, the intention is to only the smallest possible 
window cut to generate a sample big enough for classification.
You are also the first person to advise that classifying the meteorite will 
take it to very low value.  Is this consistent advise from the community 
here?

I have no intention of cutting it beyond that.

Hello All,



This is my first post here.  I joined recently because I found a lovely 
nickel-iron meteorite, and that has spurred my further interest in this 
subject.  My meteorite has been confirmed as the real thing by staff of the 
Meteorite Lab at Portland State University, who would like to perform 
classification.  It is 11.2 kg, and according to PSU staff, it will be only 
the seventh classified meteorite ever found in the state of Oregon.




I’ve enjoyed reading these archives, but I haven’t yet been able to find 
answer to my question.




I’m posting here to ask if anyone has any experience cutting an iron 
meteorite with the CBN blade that is sold by Johnson Brothers Lapidary. They 
advertise it as just the thing for cutting irons.  I’m interested to know 
anything about blade life, rim speed, feed rate, and using plain water as a 
coolant/lubricant.  For cutting the analysis sample, I have machining 
experience and very suitable tools, except for the blade, which I would like 
to be a circular blade.




I welcome replies here on the forum, or by private email.



Kind regards,

John

Hello Glyn-- Giving your claim all advantages with a cursory review: Using 
your 0.22 cubic meter figure and putting in the highest measured martian 
density of 3.48 gr per cc,   I get 76kg launch weight and 38 Kg ( assuming 
50% ablation by weight) landing under perfect conditions. My max weight 
from the data i did have in my head,  28-32kg was not far off but not to 
the order of magnitude difference-- it still does not add up to 800lbs. 
The total weight is immaterial in one sense as to date there have been no 
"meteorite showers" of martian material.  The chaos of an impact, in my 
mind, would not produce a coherent stream of meteoroids which would remain 
together for the several hundred thousand up to millions orbits it takes 
for martian material to arrive on earth.  Paired finds are consistent with 
atmospheric breakup supporting a single original mass.


I saw your extensive mineralogy and you may in fact have a meteorite-- or 
impactiite but, I did not see where the mineral composition nor noble gases 
plotted amongst plots of the entire range of meteorites.  I don't know who 
the keeper of data is for those plots but you could still plot yours on the 
master graph.  (I may have lots of stray data in my head but that isn't one 
of them).


I think that the way you seem to misdirect technical answers and the way 
what you do claim what you do, is buried amongst irrelevant comparisons 
that lend skepticism to your report thus far.  May I say that much of your 
response is filled with irrelevant comparisons and non sequitur 
conclusions.  Apollo rocks have nothing to do with validating your claims.


If I unserstand, you did some of the mineralogy and sent some off for 
analysis, but you won't name or revel any professional meteorist nor 
geo-chemist nor anyone else accredited who has either reviewed your work or 
through their own study.  Yes or no? If so, what prevents you from 
releasing it?  What is the shock stage if you know it?

Met List,


I appreciate honest debate. I appreciate respect. The personal attacks need 
to stop. I will never respond in kind.


Do you all not know the Met List policies?

General List Policies (i.e. The Rules)

   1. Posts need to relate in some way to meteorites.
   2. Be courteous and professional at all times.
   3. No Personal Attacks.

...

I have not attacked the scientific community in anyway. I'm a part of it. 
I'm just exposing that unethical behavior can happen behind the scenes at 
times. I'm talking about a few individuals only. The greater amount of 
scientists and technicians I worked with were very professional and are 
wonderful people to work with.


First I would like to respond to Elton who emailed me off-list. Elton you 
are incorrect. It is possible to have a mass impact eject/launch off of 
Mars to a diameter of approx. 22.0m, perhaps melted, but with oblique 
impacts they can launch off the surface solid. The TKW of my discovery is 
greater than the mass of Moon rocks we brought back during the all the 
Apollo missions, which is approx. 382.0kg of mass. My discovery isn't a 
single mass but many fragments from a heterogeneous igneous rock mass that 
was impact ejected/launched off the surface of Mars, or just below the 
surface of Mars. The largest masses of the fragments are larger than 
Zugami. It is mostly extrusive igneous rock from Mars.

A quick update before I go to sleep, but our first day in the field
was a resounding success!  We made it out to the playa a few hours
later than initially planned, but we managed to get in 4 hours of
hunting before the light failed up.  Day 1 find totals are:

Marissa: 2 - Her first find came less than half an hour into the hunt!
Debbie (aide): 2
Rogan: 2
Mike: 3

Have an early start for day 2 tomorrow, more details and pictures to follow!

[meteorite-list] Wairarapa Valley

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

The National Library of New Zealand has some great documentation on the 
subject of early New Zealand aerolites including Wairarapa Valley

which Anne Black has 4.02 grams posted on (meteorite picture of the day)

http://www.tucsonmeteorites.com/mpodmain.asp?DD=12/30/2014

The following are excerpts from the New Zealand National Library site:

The earliest instance of any meteoric phenomena being seen in New Zealand 
is one given me by an eye-witness—Mr. H. C. Field, of Wanganui—who states 
that it took place about the year 1853, but is not certain of the exact 
year. He describes it as follows: “I was standing outside my house at 
Waitotara, just after sunset, when I heard a loud whizzing noise overhead. 
On looking up I saw a brilliant body, apparently about the size of the moon, 
passing overhead in a S.S.E. direction, until it was lost behind some 
sandhills. A few days afterwards I saw by a paper that it was seen in 
Christchurch, and was supposed to have dropped into the sea S.E. of that 
town. While travelling across the sky it gave out a white-bluish light.”


In 1868* Mr. E. Baker published an account of a brilliant meteor which was 
seen at Wellington. He says, “At about a quarter after 7 o'clock on the 
evening of the 5th August … I observed a light, very much brighter than the 
moon (which … was only two days old), shining brightly in a clear sky. The 
light appeared to be a large round ball of fire, about the size of the moon, 
travelling from an easterly direction towards the west. The ball of fire 
burst, and a portion of it apparently struck the ground at about fifty to a 
hundred yards from my house at Karori. There was a rumbling noise at the 
time of the descent of the meteor.” Though mention is here made of a portion 
of the meteor falling to the earth, no stone seems to have been discovered.

Summary: Scientists have discovered meteorite fragments 20 years after the 
corresponding bolide
was seen in the skies of the Czech Republic. This discovery was made 
possible by reanalyzing the trajectory, which moved the impact line by 330 
meters. Interestingly, the meteorites found on the ground are of

different types, pointing to a parent asteroid of heterogeneous composition.

Astronomy  Astrophysics is publishing the spectacular discovery of 
meteorite fragments 20 years after the corresponding bolide was seen in the 
skies of the Czech

Republic. This discovery was made possible by reanalyzing the
trajectory, which moved the impact line by 330 meters. Interestingly,
the meteorites found on the ground are of different types, pointing to a 
parent asteroid of heterogeneous composition.

Collisions of meter-sized meteoroids with Earth's atmosphere are
relatively rare, occurring about 40 times a year. They cause very
spectacular events, known as superbolides. One of the best known such
events, the Benešov bolide, occurred on 7 May 1991 at 23h 03m 46s UT
over the Czech Republic. It was recorded during systematic photographic
observations by the European Fireball Network and certainly ended in a
multiple meteorite fall, but no meteorite was found in the weeks and
years after the fall, despite many attempts.
In February 2011, nearly 20 years after the event, P. Spurný and his
colleagues [1] measured the records again and analyzed the data with
improved methods. This led to a new picture of the whole event with a
revised atmospheric trajectory and a new impact location. This allowed
the team to recover the Benešov meteorites, 20 years after the fall,
exactly in the newly predicted area. It is the first time a meteorite is 
found so long after the bolide observation.

The team found four small, highly-weathered meteorites with a total
mass of 12 g. The probability that these four fragments come from
different meteoroids and were found by chance at the same place is
estimated to be 1 in 100,000 or less. Even more interestingly, these
four meteorites are of three different mineralogical types. This means
that the Benešov meteoroid was heterogeneous and contained at least
three different types of material. After the Almahata Sitta fall, this
is the second time that such a heterogeneous composition has been found. It 
raises the possibility that a significant fraction of all asteroids

are heterogeneous and that they were strongly reprocessed by collisions
with other asteroids in the main belt.

[meteorite-list] Music and meteorite hunting

[Paul Gessler]

More Meteorite hunting trivia
was waiting to post the daftpunk stuff
now seems like an appropriate time.
The daftpunk explosion was almost on top of the darker coloured group of
meteorites stranding area. Always wanted to try and find pieces of the robot 
visor heat shield.




SPICE GIRLS:
back in the day when we were cleaning up on Coyote DL back in 1996

[meteorite-list] BLM troubles

[Paul Gessler]

Looks like the BLM has their hands full as of late:

the article:
http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/10/us/nevada-rancher-rangers-cattle-showdown/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Environmental issues have never been a real concern for the feds except as 
convenient leverage when it's time to collect payment.
I am not siding with the grazing issue totally but the BLM's attitude is 
disturbing to me.


the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhJ6H9vlEDA

This has long reaching implications that extend all the way to us and our 
endeavours believe me.

[meteorite-list] LOVINA

[Paul Gessler]

I have a question regarding the status of LOVINA?
After the UC Berkeley study in 2011 what is the consensus regarding
the validity of LOVINA as a meteorite???

Has it been verified?
Or is it disputed?

Thanks for any input on the subject.
Reason for asking Is My father (Nick) will be in Bali this summer and really 
has no desire to be a regular
tourist and of course wants to do something meteoritic there. So at lowtide 
he's going to search for additional pieces

and perhaps also beachcomb for parts of Flight 370.

Re: [meteorite-list] Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite

[Paul Gessler]

I too believe it is possible HOWEVER:

I would more easily believe that two Norwegian parachutists would lie than
that stones would fall from heaven!

-

I would more easily believe that two Yankee professors would lie than that 
stones would fall from heaven

Thomas Jefferson

-

Seriously though has anyone asked people in the area on the ground if 
they heard anything on the day
besides a buzzing airplane?  Any Radar? they must have been very near a 
landingstrip / airport for that kind of activity.
I don't think the video is fake (GO-PROS are highly capable)  but the event 
may have been deliberately set up
given the agility of those winged suits, the guy from above shown seconds 
later or one of the several others
could have released a light weight plaster cast (less chance of injury) of a 
real meteorite like say

from NWA that will eventually turn up as the real thing.

I would want Radar imagery and verified ground reports of an event from 
people NOT involved with the Oslo Parachute Club


Until then I have seen Cirque du Soleil do more amazing feats of 
orchestrated acrobatic flying and they are in a tent.

[meteorite-list] Hunting for Meteorites and Flight 370 Wreckage

[Paul Gessler]

Ok this may be something.

I hesitate to put this on here but since we are already talking about the 
UNLIKELY chance that the Malaysian Airlines FLIGHT 370
was taken out by a meteorite..I thought I'd post this to the list 
because a lot of you work in satellite imagery and well who hasn't scoured 
google earth looking for

undiscovered meteorite craters.

This is at least a positive way we can all help with this and many of us are 
talented at searching because of our common interests.


I found an object that to me looks very much like a Liferaft with an anti 
drift Drogue tethered to it while using TOMNOD to search the projected area 
of impact
for Flight 370. I marked it and can only hope the companies moderators take 
note.


I would be interested to here what you all think and maybe some of you know 
how to bring attention to it as a possibility.

Some of you may even work for Digital Globe or know someone who does.


Here is the link:
please take a look
thank you

[meteorite-list] Video of a good place to find a meteorite

[Paul Gessler]

I apologize for not calling a few of you in So. Cal while I was there.
I simply did not have enough time and we had a specific locality to be 
investigated that can't yet be shared.


However this locality was on the way and I couldn't resist stopping by. Very 
glad I did. Here is a small video

for your enjoyment.

[meteorite-list] won't accept it is not a meteorite

[Paul Gessler]

Don't you just love those S. Curry type meteorite experts.

Just wanted everyone on the list to know about a certain Australian
named:

Billy Sherman

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhyT97-KaZ_2yc49GMszDeWZQICTux_Vg

Let me just say I at first tried to help this individual identify possible 
meteorites he was finding
on dry lake beds. After many photos back and forth and many emails the 
situation dissolved into
one of Scientific conspiracy and total rejection at the the thought that 
what he was finding were not
indeed actual meteorites. His plan (drawn out as long as possible) is to 
take your or anybody's money and use it
to buy the land where he is finding these incredible  meteorites  and then 
split the profits. This is laughable in and of itself
given the highly restrictive Australian Laws regarding meteorites. Although 
it would not apply here because they are not

real meteorites anyway.

Beware he even claims to have found Lunars and Martians one with a CRUCIFIX 
!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj3mDaES14slist=PLhyT97-KaZ_2yc49GMszDeWZQICTux_Vgindex=4


He has taken samples to Museums and labs in Australia but they kindly 
informed him that they were all terrestrial.

Basically so did I after numerous high res photos back and forth.
It has gotten so (Curry) like and has left such a bad taste in my mouth that
I will no longer help the public at large with the endless is this a 
meteorite BS
It is an exhausting exercise in futility. I say let people learn the hard 
way the way I learned
Find it, research it, take it to a reputable meteoritics lab and keep on 
doing this until you finally

have a bonafide classified new find.
There are no short cuts and rejection is inevitable at the beginning LIVE 
with it and Learn from it

Do not turn it into a Conspiracy.

Above all do not think you can get away with this Fraudulent behaviour.

To those of you who have fought the good fight and you know who you are I 
applaud you.


What you can do is check out his vids and tell him what you all think.
He doesn't seem to want to believe me.

Sorry for the rant I just wanted this to be archived and on every ones Radar

[meteorite-list] PRIMM CASTS FOR SALE- AD

[Paul Gessler]

To those of you who may be interested I recently remade a cast of my PRIMM
stone for a fellow on the list who
is putting together one of the largest collections of meteorite casts that I
know of.
In the process I have 3 additional casts available for sale. That will be it
for this mold as she can do no more.
The detail on these is exceptional and the finished painting and tinting is
Incredibly realistic.
The Primm stone is a wonderful example of what the dry lake beds of the
southwest USED to offer.
The original stone exhibits deep regmaglypts, fusion crust, contraction
cracks and typical weathering colour seen on most
of the meteorites found on dry lakes. Fantastic for the display case or as a
fieldwork identification stone.
It takes me a week to produce these and the mold about a month. Lots of
painstaking work is spent on these.

I have 3 left and they are priced at a very reasonable US $70 plus shipping
from CANADA
$10 regular no tracking air post or $17 with Tracking

Payment can be made with paypal

Thank you for consideration and if anyone finds the missing piece PLEASE let
me know. There is a reward!

You can read all about the back story on this meteorite on the following

[meteorite-list] grains of sand

[Paul Gessler]

Was wondering about the statement that shooting stars we see are no bigger 
than grains of sand???
I here it used all the time and haven't  really given it any thought. I 
don't buy it!
I don't think a grain of sand would be able to generate enough light to be 
visible from earth?
Has anyone actually measured these grains of sand? If so how was it done. 
Where did this (factoid)

originate and is there any validity to it?
I could see gravel sized debris producing what we see but not sand and 
smaller.


Any one care to comment?

[meteorite-list] Large Camel sweat Chelyabinsk

[Paul Gessler]

I remember when the first stones of Chelyabinsk were being offered by M. 
Farmer and he told us all back then
to get them while they were fresh because they would only get uglier when 
the snow melted.

Case in point this big sucker looks like it was found in a melt mud puddle.
The second largest shown is dramatically less oxidized.
Reminds me of way back in the 1990's with the Hamada Du Draa / El Hammami 
offerings they were supposedly
packed by camels out of the deserts and suffered incredibly brown staining 
through and through. I know cuz I bought a big one

from Senior Casper
I wonder how the oxidation is on the inside of that big Chely if it were

Largest Piece So Far of Chelyabinsk Meteorite Found - Scientists
RIA Novosti
August 21, 2013

YEKATERINBURG -  Russian scientists have confirmed the authenticity of
a 3.4-kilogram (7.5-pound) fragment of the Chelyabinsk meteorite  - the
largest piece found so far from the meteorite that hit the Urals region
in February.

An unnamed resident of the Chelyabinsk region in Russia's Urals found
the fragment near the village of Timiryazevsky and submitted it for
analysis
and authentication to Chelyabinsk State University.

Yes, it is a meteorite. This is the largest [Chelyabinsk] fragment
analyzed
so far by scientists, Andrei Kocherov, an official from the
university,
told RIA Novosti.

The lucky owner was given an official certificate confirming the
authenticity
of the celestial fragment, Kocherov said.

The meteorite, more than 18 meters in size and weighing 10,000 metric
tons, exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk in the Urals on February
15.
The blast was an equivalent to 440 kilotons of TNT - 27 times more
powerful
than the nuclear bomb that destroyed Nagasaki in 1945. The meteorite
blast
left 1,200 injured, most by window glass shattered by the shockwave.

The meteorite broke into some seven large fragments, and one of them is
believed to have fallen into Chebarkul Lake, forming a hole in the ice
about eight meters in diameter. In late March, a radar probe of the
bottom
of the lake revealed a crater possibly created by a fragment of a
meteorite.

Chelyabinsk region authorities have allocated 3 million rubles (about
$10,000) for the recovery of the fragment, which is believed to have an
oval shape, a size of up to a meter and a weight of about 600 kilograms.

Hi List,

Here are a couple of pictures from one of my recent meteorite hunting
trips. The meteorites appear to be ordinary chondrites.

[meteorite-list] PRIMM DRY LAKE HELP

[Paul Gessler]

To all You hunters who have searched Primm / Roach Dry lake:

Please help me to rebuild one of my favourite meteorite finds. This 242 g 
individual was found back in 1997
and was reconstructed from 3 pieces and glued back together. It is still 
missing a small 8 gram
wedge shaped piece that hopefully can be reunited with the main mass??? Just 
want all of you
who have hunted Roach D.L. to take a look at this video and see if just 
maybe you have the piece I am looking for.
It would be Incredible to COMPLETE this meteorite's saga. If found I would 
be happy to substitute for a
larger Primm piece from our collection...and some detailed info on a Nevada 
strewn field that has yielded

some really Amazing finds. Let me know. thanks.

Would also be interested in the locations and mass of additional finds 
regardless of matching my piece so that I can
get an idea of what we missed. I want this attempt at unification to get out 
to everyone so please forward the video to anyone you know

who has searched this location or is even slightly interested.

This just might work? I hope.

Re: [meteorite-list] Postal insurance claim or stamps.com.

[Paul Gessler]

Mike , I had an experience like this back in 1995 (so not sure if still 
relevant?)

I purchased a cut slab of Huckitta pallasite from Michael Casper.
It was 112grams for $1.75 a gram back then.
It was shipped US postal service and insured through them for $200
When it arrived the box had been crushed and the riker box inside shattered
with the slab breaking into two pieces. I remember filing a complaint and 
scheduled a
meeting with the post master at my end. They contacted Mr Casper to get the 
value
from him. I argued along with Casper that the collectability had been 
destroyed because
it was broken in two. (those were the days before Bessy specks I think) The 
post office
agreed and gave me my $200 back. BUT they wanted to keep the meteorite? I 
demanded
they return it as it still had scientific value and they were supposedly 
going to just throw it away.
They finally relented and gave it back to me. My experience was that nothing 
was easy
or straight forward. I had to prove the damage by showing the crushed box 
etc and demonstrate the
obvious careless handling resulted in damage. Then I had to talk them out of 
the object that
had been written off as destroyed. Why would you keep something that was 
considered destroyed?

You could also argue sentimental value with this I guess. Same reasoning.
Anyway had to jump through some hoops but in the end I got a full refund and 
got to keep

the broken Huckitta.

I am wondering if anyone can share their experience involving the loss
of an insured package. Whether it was successful or not and with any
of the carriers. I am especially interested in stamps.com or the Us
postal service. I am asking the question because I ship a lot of
meteorites and have lost some but never any that were insured. Today I
talked with a representative of stamps.com and I was told they only
insure the value that I paid for the meteorite or its value at the
time of loss whichever is less.

[meteorite-list] SHATTERCONES in TATAHOUINE

[Paul Gessler]

I had a chance to cherry pick some larger sized Tatahouine nuggets from Alan 
Carion at the Tucson show
and have noticed what appear to be shattercones on many of the facets? On 
every side that is fractured
there are these chevron shaped interlaced lamellae/ flaring 
striationshowever they don't seem to have just
one apex of orientation. On one surface I can see a cluster leading to the 
top as an apex point only to be met with
one splitting the others going the opposite direction and also creating a 
small platform.
It does make sense to me that Tathouine would exhibit this given its broken 
safety glass terminal deployment.
I think the largest piece found was the size of a small grapefruit and if 
you tapped it with a hammer it would

shatter into the smaller chunks we see more commonly.

I guess what I am saying is that this mass in space must have been a heavily 
fractured structure and subject
to multiple impact incidents followed by annealing then more impacts leaving 
over time heat and pressure

multi directional percussion striation. In essence shattercones.

Does anyone else see this? Any write ups on it that you are aware of? Got 
any examples in your collections

that show what I am talking about?

Let me here your thoughts please.
I am stuck in an endless winter with plenty of time to ponder such things.

I am aware that they may just be the natural clevage lines of the various 
minerals within.. but then why don't I

see this anywhere near as dramatic in other meteorites?

It would be neat to think of Tathouine as not just a unique Dioginite but 
also as some kind of relict impactite from

the crust of another asteroid. ???

You can see some pictures here that I took through my microscope at 25x

[meteorite-list] Space Rock Graffiti

[Paul Gessler]

I am just envisioning in my head those ultra desirable painted / numbered 
and cataloged pieces from

historical collections like the Paris museum and Nininger collection etc.

Well maybe someday we can add these marked asteroid pieces to our 
collections?
But. would this be the first space Graffiti ? We might as well sell the 
rights and put corporate advertising on them
Like space billboards. This near Earth catastrophe averted thanks to the 
generous support of (WALMART) ? TARGET?


Just thinking

[meteorite-list] meteorites and TAXES

[Paul Gessler]

All this talk about taxes and the like has raised some old questions for me.
If this has been discussed before forgive me I missed it.

Lets say a meteorite falls and you find it then someone sells one from the 
same fall creating a benchmark of value (however fleeting)

Do you immediately incur a tax liability on the stone you have?

I remember back in the day when Sammy Sosa and Mark Mcguire were in a 
homerun race and the topic came up that whoever caught the
record beating baseball would immediately be forced to sell it to raise the 
taxes owed on it or pay out some ludicrous amount to the feds in order to 
keep it.


So what gives?

I recently read the article about the Novato 100 gram stone being worth 
$10,000

GREAT! But does the owner now owe a percentage to the tax man

What are the facts concerning this kind of windfall?

Any idea?

[meteorite-list] Who was First NOVATO 001

[Paul Gessler]

So does that mean Brien Cooks meteorite is the first identified/recognized 
find from this fall?

Sounds like it is indeed.
Seems to me that the ONLY reason the House hitter stone was reassessed was 
because

Brien had the smarts to cut into his and prove it.
Luckily the Webbers didn't throw the stone away based on the incorrect 
identification.
I heard mention of a waste basket? I'd like to search that waste basket if 
possible.
I also might add that this is NOT a strange crust considering the 
brecciation .


So question # 1 is who gets NOVATO 001 status?

Who gets the roof shingle with the divot in it?
