[meteorite-list] Vintage meteorite postcards and photographs wanted for art project
Hello everyone, I have been reading the threads with great interest. I am new to this forum and hope this posting will appear on the list. I am an artist / photographer currently working on a meteorite project. As part of this, I am looking for old postcards and photographs, preferably with the combination Meteorites - Human beings (scientists / geologists / locals / workers, etc. next to a meteorite). Generally, I am looking for any historical picture material that could be interesting, ranging from beautiful drawings to absurd photographs, from postcards, photos, copies to high resolution digital files. I am not a rich person, so extremely rare collector's items are not what I am looking for. Perhaps you also have advice for publications with a lot of picture material. I hope you can help me with this and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Carl, Thanks a lot for your advice, I will take a look at the book! I am mostly interested in vintage material, which I am also happy to pay for. I hope by saying "I'm not rich" I didn't scare the sellers away. If anyone still has some advice or offers don't hesitate to post or email me.

[meteorite-list] Looking for project participants
Hi everyone, for a photographic project on meteorites I am looking for one or two more participants. I will be traveling to various collections in Germany and Switzerland during the month of August to photograph some individuals on large format. If you are interested to hear more about this project and would like to get some beautiful images of some of your pieces, please contact me off list. I am mainly (but not solely) interested in historic meteorites / witnessed falls with an interesting story. One of the specimen on my wish list is a piece of the Chiang Khan meteorite shower.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites 101-The Bolide and the Nuclear Bomb
Hi all, can some of you explain to me the similarities of an exploding meteor and a nuclear bomb? There seem to be a lot of references and explosive asteroid events are often measured in Hiroshima bombs to scare the hell out of people. I always asked myself the question why that is? Is there not a different process at work, that of nuclear fission (atom bomb) and fusion (hydrogen bomb)? But when considering Tunguska, the aftermath seems to be very similar. I would like to know more about this: There has been accelerated tree growth due to the radiation, have there been any cases of mutations or illnesses of animals? Is such a radiation as severe as that of a bomb? And what is the difference / similarity of Tektites and Trinitite?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites 101-The Bolide and the Nuclear Bomb
Thank you Chris and Martin, which brings me to the question, what exactly is energy? I am trying to put aside what I have learned about it and look at it with a second naivety. I find it hard to grasp (similar to the idea of gravity). But perhaps this is not so interesting for others. I've been trying to re-think basic concepts lately, everything I think I know, and when thinking about it I realize that I don't. But back to the topic: Reading your explanations the accelerated tree growth in the Tunguska area would therefore simply be a stress symptom?

Dear list, I have a long list of specimens I will be able to photograph. I already chose quite a few I definitely want, but you might be able to tell me more about them and help me decide which ones to pick. Country specific knowledge of falls/finds would be helpful, too. If interested to share some info please contact me off list, and I will send out a little group email with the details.

Re: [meteorite-list] New book
I am currently reading this book, and so far it is excellent. Don't be mislead by the title or by the reviewers (Ann Hodges is mentioned in the book), it is smart and entertaining and filled with interesting historical facts. I'm only on page 64 but have already had an interesting read on Kirkwood gaps, Barwell, the emperor Elagabalus of Rome, Sorby and Topham. --- Chris Spratt schrieb am Di, 22.2.2011: > Von: Chris Spratt > Betreff: [meteorite-list] New book > An: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > Datum: Dienstag, 22.

Re: [meteorite-list] Congrats to Regine Peterson on her first Meteoritefind!
Thanks to all of you and especially to Ruben and Twink who took me out there and guided me. It was very lovely that they invited me to hunt with them, and Ruben pointed me into the right direction, otherwise I probably wouldn't have found any. It was much fun! And it IS bloody gorgeous. Here are a couple more pictures. I like the first one, because you can barely see the meteorite, and it looks like I'm happy finding a GPS. https://picasaweb.google.com/regine.petersen/Holbrook22032011?authkey=Gv1sRgCKvLsMqK17OApQE# On my way back to Oracle I saw a small green fireball tumbling down in the night sky. It was ahead of me on Highway 77 at mile 109 and it was between 9.55 and 10 pm. It looked a bit like a firework that has gone wrong, as it just fell at a 20 degree angle to the east (from my point of view), and went dark. I could tell you more if I was able to locate myself on the map.. I was a lucky girl yesterday. Congrats to Jim also!

Hi list, I'm looking for images from your photo album, in particular: In situ photos of you posing with a meteorite you found (small or big, it doesn't matter) If you want one of yours to be considered for a book feel free to send them (best would be in a manageable but printable size, 300 dpi at 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6") or similar). No fancy images necessary, a snapshot style is preferred. It would be fun to display them all side by side! Please email off list.

Re: [meteorite-list] Gebel Kamil webpage
Hi all, I'm fairly new to meteorites but I do know a bit more about photographs. Quite a couple of times I have looked at different images of the same meteorite and thought at first glance they were different specimens. The image in the rocky area might be an image of how the meteorite was originally found, then the rocks might have been moved and the area cleaned up including the sand on top of the rock. A bit of grooming to make it pretty for the photo perhaps. If you turn the rocky image 90 degree anti-clock wise and the clean one 90 degree clock-wise it seems to be likely the same rock, the first one being shot from above (see GPS facing the viewer and the overall angle now looking much more appropriate). If you then carefully study the surface structure and keep in mind the angle difference it seems quite likely to be the same individual.

[meteorite-list] SALE: Ensisheim Limited Edition Photographic Print
Dear list, As some of you know and have given me support with, I have been working on a photographic book on meteorites for quite some time now. As part of the project, I have taken images of around 100 specimens from private collections and museums. The book will consist of studio based typologies, observations at the sites of meteoritic events, historic images and text. It will pay tribute to the idea that a meteorite can be looked at from many different sides (cosmologic, geologic, philosophic, historic, emotional, etc.) To be able to take time off from my various other commitments and develop the project further, I am offering a special edition print for sale: A beautiful traditional darkroom c-type of Ensisheim, taken on large format film. (The stone is photographed on red cloth, so it actually looks quite christmassy, too) The dimensions are 59 x 73.5 cm (23.2 x 28.9 inches) and the edition will be at 8 prints (+ 1 artist proof) on matte paper, of which one will be put on display at the Musee in Ensisheim. Please contact me off list for further details and images.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite found in Xinjiang
>From google translate: It is undeniable that this strange "stone" appearance also attracted the curiosity of the local people, said Zhang Baolin, now meteorites have been clear on the saw marks, and engraved the names of a dozen, some inscribed on 1980. "In fact, high hardness, iron meteorite, saw a few in the above drawing, serrated on the disappeared." Sounds intriguing. Does anyone have a better translation?

Re: [meteorite-list] Cat Mountain on Ebay
Hi Sonny and list, can someone clarify some things for me? I find it a bit confusing, so excuse me if I ask obvious questions. These are the facts as far as I have understood them: Apart from the first Cat Mountain find there was Snyder Hill, which was not part of the same fall and only found while looking for further Cat Mountain pieces. There was another small Cat Mountain found by Robert Haag which didn't get classified. Now hunters were searching the Snyder Hill site and found two more Cat Mountains which are now sold on ebay. Who found the rocks, Count Deiro or the hunters who have also found the Snyder Hill piece? Who is selling them? And why was the third rock which was found designated 001? The second one hasn't been classified, but wouldn't the original find get the first number? Pretty amazing finds :-) Regine --- wahlpe...@aol.com schrieb am Fr, 19.8.2011: > Von: wahlpe...@aol.com > Betreff: Re: [meteorite-list] Cat Mountain on Ebay > An: cdtuc...@cox.net, meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > Datum: Freitag, 19.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cat Mountain on EBay
I see. Since there is no NWA or SaU without a number and the Cat Mountain area is not a vast desert either the numbers don't seem to make sense to me. But in the end I might care about it as much as the rocks do...
