Re: [meteorite-list] Dan Wray
Thank you so much for the report on Dan's condition, Anne! Those of us who knew Dan and were there at the NM Mineral Symposium, had heard Sunday morning that Dan had had "something heart-related" happen and was at a hospital in Albuquerque, but no one knew anything of the details, nor what his condition was. We'd had a dinner banquet for the symposium that Saturday evening, and Dan and Brenda were there then--in fact, I even sat at the table with them--and at that time Dan had never said one word about having had any medical issue! Very glad that he is doing well, and that there were friends and family to pitch in and help.

This week took a bit of a turn on its head. Sunday morning my Dad had a heart attack. He and my mom were out at a mineral symposium they attend every year in Socorro, New Mexico with the airstream when Dad started having chest pain Friday night. When he went to the emergency room in the tiny town Sunday morning, they decided to fly him by helicopter to Albuquerque. Wonderful friends of my parents drove my mom the hour or so to the Hospital and helped button down the Airstream, I immediately got on the road and drove the 6.5hrs to get there (it was faster than I could get a flight there), and my awesome husband and best friend Brynn, took over things at home so I could leave quickly. Dad had a stent put in and they determined he had a STEMI, which is the most severe type of heart attack. Of course, you’d never know it from Dad. Just hours afterwards, he was very much himself. I think the hardest thing will be convincing Dad to take it seriously. Ha. He’s doing very well considering all he went through (and the fact that he waited so long to take himself to the ER). The doctors and nurses have all been wonderful and he’s been in great hands. The Dr saw very little damage and is confident his heart will recover well if he sticks to his cardio rehab and does what he’s supposed to. He was released today and we got to go have lunch together and take a nice leisurely walk through the Albuquerque Balloon Museum. My Dad’s brother Chuck is on a plane here now and will be helping us start the journey home with my car and the truck and trailer tomorrow. We will be taking it slow, but hopefully we will all be home soon. Dad’s in great spirits and feeling really good, so again, the hardest thing will be keeping him slowed down a bit to let his heart heal. We’re so thankful he’s doing so well. We are so grateful for all the amazing friends and family we have that have reached out and been so amazing and helpful. My parents have such a great support system and so do I. So thank you.

Re: [meteorite-list] Big news
Mass extinction researchers have been debating back and forth about the evidence for periodicity, for decades. My take is, people who think they ought to be able to find a periodicity, do find it in their analysis of the data. Researchers who are skeptical of such a periodicity, find not much of a correlation in their analysis of the data. I doubt that this one paper will settle the matter! (Thanks for sharing the story!)

Dear meteorite-list members, I thought I would forward this request, which I read via the Mineralogical Society of America's listserv, MSA-talk.

Many thanks, Giulio -------- Dear All, I am involved in a project were we are trying to use digital image analysis of Pallasite meteorites to infer about their origin, and specifically to define grain growth conditions experienced by olivine. We need high quality photos of pallasites where both well-rounded olivine grain and olivine fragments are present within the same sample (usually labelled as 'mixed-type'). After searching through various sources, it seems to us that Seymchan is the best candidate. There are several slabs of Seymchan that contains rounded grains and fragments of olivine spaced by no more than a few centimeters. We would greatly appreciate any suggestion on whom to contact or how to retrieve high quality photos of Seymchan. I should add that I have already visited the pallasite collection of Natural History Museum of London and of Dublin, yet, they do not have a slab of Seymchan (or any other mixed-type pallasite) that fits our requirements.

Dear Francesco, The active ingredient in "Naval Jelly" is phosphoric acid. I see that this can also be purchased (in the U.S.) as several other commercial cleaning products, including some simply labeled as "Phosphoric Acid Cleaner".
