[meteorite-list] Field Notes

[Regine P. via Meteorite-list]

Hi list,


I have started a blog:

FIELD NOTES is a casual platform to share some of the meteorite images and 
documents which I have collected during my research of the last years and which 
will be posted on a daily basis.

http://meteoritefieldnotes.blogspot.de/

It is a bit of an experiment, so I cannot predict its development or continuity 
- but I think it would be a shame to leave these gems in the drawer and I hope 
you will enjoy them. There is a theme this month: Name the meteorite!

Best,
R.

Nothing to gain if you don't risk it - that's why Bob is king :)

Hi Mike,

These new meteorite finds may finally resolve a long debated issue. Bob 
V. directed me to this paper and you should give it a read.

I'm confused since Gold Basin is an L4.Michael Farmer On Feb 26, 2015,

 Congrats to Joe and thank you both for showing us that what can be 
achieved when one is really committed to a pursuit.   Mendy Ouzillou

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

[Regine P. via Meteorite-list]

http://www.reginepetersen.com/order.php
*In Find a Falling Star, Regine Petersen uses the stories of meteorite falls as 
a background for her narratives; a rock crashing through the roof of an Alabama 
home in the 1950's and hitting a woman, a group of children recovering a 
meteorite in their village in post-war Germany, and a more recent event in 
India involving two Rajasthani nomads. Petersen visited the places and the 
eyewitnesses and delved into their stories, expanding her photographic 
observations with found documents and interviews. Just as meteorites could be 
considered time capsules, each chapter encapsulates a specific place in a 
certain time, questioning the notions of memory and history and the 
relationship between the ordinary and the sublime.*
