[Mike TETTENBORN via Meteorite-list]

List,

It is difficult having two expensive hobbies.  Meteorite collecting and 
Astrophotography really suck out the reserves from my wallet. 

To help pay for some new Astro gear I am opening up part of my Meteorite 
collection to the list.  Below is what I have.  Email and we can negotiate 
price and shipping.

Cheers!

Dean,

Looks like an Enstatite.  Similar to more homogeneous Abee sections.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.  Do you miss Canada?

Cheers,

Steve,

Welcome back!  Glad you are still involved.   Has it been since 2003?  If I 
remember correctly it was a spider bite that sidelined you.

Re: [meteorite-list] Collections/hobbies

[Mike Tettenborn via Meteorite-list]

Don’t collect too much else besides meteorites and some meteorite paraphernalia 
but I do collect Telechron electric clocks from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s.  I see 
these as wall art and cool to have some Art Deco and Retro pieces around.  

Also have lots of fossils and pieces of petrified wood.

Cool thread!

Mike Tettenborn

Re: [meteorite-list] 1996-2016 meteorite collectors / dealers

[Mike Tettenborn via Meteorite-list]

I too started my meteorite journey in 1996.  A few here may remember the late 
Robert Szep who was a real character and who loved meteorites.  I purchased a 
nice El Hammami slice off him which is still in my collection.  I think it was 
just a few years later when I purchased a nice Allende individual from Mike 
Farmer as I started in ernest to grow my collection.

Wow how the time flies!

 Good Evening List;
 
 This email only applies if you are subscribed with a yahoo.com email 
 address. If you are a member of the IMCA you probably already received a 
 similar email from Bob Falls - thanks also to Bob for alerting me to this 
 issue.
 
 Yahoo mail recently made a change to their email servers that could cause 
 issues with our mailing list;  possibly causing both unintended bounces and 
 unintended subscription removals. Unfortunately I've been traveling over the 
 last week and have not been able to investigate/analyze the issue in detail.  
 In the meantime I have placed all members with Yahoo accounts into moderation 
 to hold the mails from being delivered (it's the delivery of 
 yahoo-originating emails that could cause problems).
 
 To sum it up: 
 --If you have a Yahoo email address you should continue to receive list 
 emails but won't be able to respond or post new mails (I've placed u into 
 moderation mode).
 --The easiest/quickest way for you to be able to post again would be to 
 re-subscribe with a non-Yahoo email account. (If you'd like you can simply 
 send me an email at blurthel...@gmail.com with a new email address and I can 
 re-subscribe you).
 --I'll look into this in more detail with the my hosting company this coming 
 to see if there are any other options than re-subscribing.
 
 Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused anyone. If you have any questions 
 please email me at blurthel...@gmail.com .

 Greetings all,
 
 One problem in my opinion, is having too many areas (websites) for the
 meteorite subject considering the amount of people who are actually
 involved in Meteorites. It would be different if there were an active
 million people wanting to discuss the subject.
 
 I also think some of the posts here are redundant and people are
 capable of looking up their own information without someone posting
 multipal times a week on an area that most of us go and search anyway.
 It wouldn't be a bad idea to post once every two three months for new
 comers.
 
 Art, rather than charge for ads (although that would stop the chronic
 ad posters), require people to post an informative meteorite post
 before they can post an ad (still only one time a week). Post as many
 informative post as you want. (that's a new concept here)
 
 We also need ideas and someone to stimulate posts. Perhaps by having a
 helper of Art's to post a suggested topic each week we could discuss.
 Could also be once a month.
 
 Don't know about the rest of everyone but I was very busy the last two
 years and have not been able to post much here. I usually read books on
 the subject and post ideas here when I am done reading to get
 discussion going.
 
 The list does need to be monitored to keep it at a certain respectable level.
 
 Just some ideas.

[meteorite-list] special Tucson dates

[Mike Tettenborn]

List,

For the first time I will be going to the Gem and Mineral show in Tucson in 
February.  Can’t wait.  We just booked a BB about 20 minute drive in the 
desert and will be able to attend the show for a couple of days.

Is there a list out there of important meteorite dates during the show?  Mike 
Blood’s auction and the birthday bash etc..

After some time in Tucson we also are travelling to Portal near the New Mexico 
boarder (60 miles form the nearest grocery store) for some deep sky observing 
at Arizona Sky Village.  

Can’t wait!

Re: [meteorite-list] Probable new fall on Lake Erie

[Mike Tettenborn]

Lake Erie is not frozen.  But people are on the ground now searching close to 
the lake.  Hopefully something will come of this.


Mike Tettenborn
Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada
t...@rogers.com



 
 
 
 Howdy ladies and gents
 
   A prominent fireball was seen across the Great Lakes area last
 night, to include a smoke trail and large detonation.  We have located the
 event site in radar, seismometer, and eyewitness accounts, and radar
 indicates a strong possibility that meteorites may be found from this event.
 Most of the strewn field lies on Lake Erie itself, but the lake might be
 frozen at the fall site. This means two things - although it might be
 difficult to reach the site, any meteorites should be relatively easy to
 find. Second, meteorites on a frozen lake should have reduced terrestrial
 contamination, much like Tagish Lake. This would make the meteorites
 especially valuable to both scientists and collectors.  If you find
 meteorites from this event, please be especially careful in handling them.
 We recommend using clean aluminum foil to pick them up, and wrapping them in
 at least one layer of foil. Then place them in either a ziplock bag or a
 clean glass jar (glass is preferred because it doesn'
 t off-gas chemicals). 
 
   Good luck!

Canada shares the record for smallest fall with Japan.  Vilna fell in 1967 in

also classified at 0.1 grams.

 Hello,
 
 This question came up on another forum.
 What is the smallest meteorite known?  And I mean: still recognizable 
 (classifiable) as a meteorite.
 And no, I am not talking about the highly questionable micrometeorites 
 supposedly found in gutters.
 
 I am sure one of you will know the answer!!
 Thanks.

[meteorite-list] Fwd: Ad: Sale some large beautiful pieces. Very hard to get.

[Mike Tettenborn]

Hello list,

Usually I am buying meteorites but I am in need of some cash to help pay for my 
other addiction, motorcycles.  A new bike has caught my eye and, like 
meteorites, you can never have too many.

For sale I have these exceptional pieces.

• 1.4 gm Tissint Shergottite slice from Mars.  This is a rare martian 
fall and it is hard to find such beautiful slices with large surface area.  
Also has a rim of fusion crust.
• 34.8 gm NWA 3368 Eucrite.  This is the rare pink eucrite and is 
about the best prepared slice of any stone I have ever seen.  Comes in its own 
large membrane case.
• 17.1 gm NWA 4934 Howardite.  Very hard to get stone and a monthly 
favourite from Jeff Kuyken of Meteorites Australia.
• 66.9 gm NWA 1685 The famous BL meteorite.  This one is much sought 
after and there is a unique small group of collectors who can claim to own a BL 
meteorite.  Studied by researchers from The University of Western Ontario with 
much excitement generated from achondrite like inclusions found throughout the 
stones.

These stones all come with impeccable provenance and are priced below the 
market value.  If interested please email me off list and I will advise prices 
and send pictures.

Cheers!

Mike

Re: [meteorite-list] Battle Mountain Field report / strewn field conditions / etc.

I had the exact same impression.  This one looks like a somewhat weathered NWA.

Could be the lighting.

But, Adam Hupe reported multiple finds so far so this could be legit.

 Hi All,
 
 I have posted a few pictures of the strewnfield and a large chondrite on my 
 website.A couple of the roads in the  area will be posted with No trespassing 
 signs later this week. The reason is for mine safety regulations.The project 
 supervisor was very nice and explained the biggest concern is safety.If 
 anything was to happen on the mining clam, the site would be shut down.
 
 Thanks,

 NASA's Curiosity Beams Back a Color 360 of Gale Crater
 Jet Propulsion Laboratory
 August 09, 2012
 
 [Images]
* Gale Crater Vista, in Glorious Color #1
* NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Image #2
* NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Image #3
* NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Image #4
 
 PASADENA, Calif. - The first images from Curiosity's color Mast Camera,
 or Mastcam, have been received by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion
 Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The 130 low-resolution thumbnails, which
 were received Thursday morning, provide scientists and engineers of
 NASA's newest Mars rover their first color, horizon-to-horizon glimpse
 of Gale Crater.
 
 After a year in cold storage, where it endured the rigors of launch,
 the deep space cruise to Mars and everything that went on during
 landing, it is great to see our camera is working as planned, said Mike
 Malin, principal investigator of the Mastcam instrument from Malin Space
 Science Systems in San Diego. As engaging as this color panorama is, it
 is important to note this is only one-eighth the potential resolution of
 images from this camera.
 
 The Curiosity team also continued to downlink high-resolution
 black-and-white images from its Navigation Camera, or Navcam. These
 individual images have been stitched together to provide a
 high-resolution Navcam panorama, including a glimpse of the rover's
 deck. Evident on some portions of the deck are some small Martian pebbles.
 
 The latest Navcam images show us that the rocket engines on our descent
 stage kicked up some material from the surface of Mars, several pieces
 which ended up on our rover's deck, said Mike Watkins, mission manager
 for Curiosity from JPL. These small pebbles we currently see are up to
 about 1 centimeter [0.4 inch] in size and should pose no problems for
 mission operations. It will be interesting to see how long our
 hitchhikers stick around.
 
 Curiosity's color panorama of Gale Crater is online at:
 http://1.usa.gov/P7VsUw. Additional images from Curiosity are available
 at: http://1.usa.gov/MfiyD0.
 
 Mission engineers devoted part of their third Martian day, or Sol 3,
 to checking the status of four of Curiosity's science instruments after
 their long trip. The rover's Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer,
 Chemistry and Mineralogy analyzer, Sample Analysis at Mars, and Dynamic
 of Albedo Neutrons instruments were each energized and went through a
 preliminary checkout. The team also performed a check on the rover's
 second flight computer.
 
 Even before landing, the mission's science team began the process of
 creating a geological map of about 150 square miles (about 390 square
 kilometers) within Gale Crater that includes the landing area.
 
 It is important to understand the geological context around Curiosity,
 said Dawn Sumner of the University of California, Davis, a member of the
 Curiosity science team. We want to choose a route to Mount Sharp that
 makes good progress toward the destination while allowing important
 science observations along the way.
 
 The mapping project divided the area into 151 quadrangles of about one
 square mile (about 2.6 square kilometers) each. Curiosity landed in the
 quadrangle called Yellowknife. Yellowknife is the city in northern
 Canada that was the starting point for many of the great geological
 expeditions to map the oldest rocks in North America.
 
 Curiosity carries 10 science instruments with a total mass 15 times as
 large as the science payloads on NASA's Mars rovers Spirit and
 Opportunity. Some of the tools, such as a laser-firing instrument for
 checking rocks' elemental composition from a distance, are the first of
 their kind on Mars. Curiosity will use a drill and scoop, which are
 located at the end of its robotic arm, to gather soil and powdered
 samples of rock interiors, then sieve and parcel out these samples into
 the rover's analytical laboratory instruments.
 
 To handle this science toolkit, Curiosity is twice as long and five
 times as heavy as Spirit or Opportunity. The Gale Crater landing site
 places the rover within driving distance of layers of the crater's
 interior mountain. Observations from orbit have identified clay and
 sulfate minerals in the lower layers, indicating a wet history.
 
 The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science
 Experiment (HiRISE) camera is operated by the University of Arizona in
 Tucson. The instrument was built by Ball Aerospace  Technologies Corp.
 in Boulder, Colo. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Exploration
 Rover projects are managed

Re: [meteorite-list] Venus transit in HI

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Appraisal for Insurance?

[Mike Tettenborn]

Mike,

Collections like that should not be too difficult to appraise but would be time 
consuming.  

I would make a spread sheet and list what you paid for each.  Then ask some of 
the bigger dealers what they would charge to review your list and give an 
appraisal.  Meteorites are primarily appraised by classification and weight.  
Much easier to appraise than jewels or art which have huge value differences 
that are very subjective.

Cheers

If any of you have had this done- may I ask how you went through

 Ok, this is how the police thing went down. 
 Scared the crap out of me, you know after a stint in locked up abroad, I am 
 not too interested in hanging out with police in foreign countries.
 
 
 Greg and I were with my driver and workers, checking in the field on the 25 
 people we had hunting, taking them water and Fantas (they like Fanta there 
 and most cant afford it, so I bought cases for the workers and kids:)
 
 When we drove to a main dirt road, a man stepped out and flashed a badge, and 
 yelled something at my driver. He stopped and the man held us for an hour, 
 getting more and more demanding for a paper allowing us Muzungus spelling? 
 Which means White people to be in the area. He then told us he knew we were 
 buying stones, he showed photos of him on his phone with the colonel with the 
 first stone, and said he was the top cop in the district. He demanded to know 
 why we were there, and why we did not ask him permission to be there. After 
 going back to confer with another big guy (cop)? My driver told us not to 
 worry, it was'nt a problem. I told him for me it was a problem after Oman. He 
 laughed and said he was Kenya all his life and knew how to handle police. 
 Finally the guy told us good luck, where to hunt, to buy any stone we wanted 
 and to have a good time and be safe, we drove about 100 ft, then my driver 
 told me to give a few thousand shillings to one of
 my other workers, they walked back to the cops and paid them. 
 I was told that the policeman demanded the money in Swahili, told the driver 
 to get the money from the white people and give it to them. He would not ask 
 us in english or take the money direct from us. 
 Typical African shakedown. Part of the business. Poor place, people could 
 care less as long as they get their cut. 
 The locals have a right to sell their lotto ticket to the highest bidder. 
 
 It scared me badly, but have been through it in many countries.

 Hi Mike and List,
 
 I bet when the secret police arrived, everyone's
 balloon-knot
 tightened up a bit.  When men with hard eyes and
 AK-47's want
 something, the only reasonable thing is to give it. 
 Thankfully they
 only wanted money.
 
 20 Questions -
 
 So, about how many individual whole stones were
 recovered?  Any stones
 with distinct orientation/flowlines?  Or, any stones
 with anomalous
 features?   Has any of this material been
 cut yet (if so, what did the
 matrix look like)?
 
 I'll trade you six chickens, a canoe, and 10 cowrie shells
 for the
 main mass.  ;)
 
 Best regards and congratulations,
 
 MikeG

 A little more background on the fall,
 
 First want to thank Greg Hupe who went with me for
 trip #2 less than a week
 after trip one. I wanted to get more money, get the
 first stones home safe
 and in the lab and back to Kenya. I had to cancel
 another trip planned for
 months with Greg, so only proper thing to do was
 invite him. He was most
 accomodating of the rapid change in continents we were
 going to visit when
 he saw the stones I got from the first trip.
 
 Congrats to Robert Ward who also recovered a stone in
 the field, saving it
 from sure destruction under tropical rains.
 
 
 We had a lot of fun, we also worked our asses off,
 dawn to dark, endless
 hours of every day stuck in traffic jams just to reach
 the strewnfield.
 Cobras, yes, I am not kidding, Greg had close
 encounter with a Cobra that
 stood up and scared one of our workers nearly to
 death, he ran from the
 field, Greg went to see it but it went down a hole
 before he saw it. Place
 crawling with snakes, I was of course in shorts:) so
 after the worker came
 screaming to the car, I left the field myself for
 safer quarters.
 
 The people were nice, the secret police found us,
 threatened us, got to the
 point and demanded their cut of the payday to allow us
 to work. The usual in
 Africa, another day, another shilling.
 
 I paid great money to the locals, either for stones or
 for workers and
 supervisors to monitor the workers, money none

Re: [meteorite-list] Kosice

[Mike Tettenborn]

Michael,

About 4kg recovered so far (what I have been able to glean of the web)

H5 ordinary chondrite.  From the few pics I have seen, very similar in 
appearance to Buzzard Coulee and close in classification.

Most will be owned by Slovakia.  Government laws say meteorites recovered in 
Slovakia are owned by the state.

This stone should be easily worth more than Buzzard Coulee.  Less material, 
harder to get, similar classification, recovered fall, etc..  Buzzard started 
at around $50/gram (small pieces still selling for more) and now is down to 
about $25/gram.  Kosice should be twice this or more if the government has 
grabbed all the stuff.

My Saturday morning pre coffee ramblings.

Cheers!

Re: [meteorite-list] monomict - genomict - polymict

[MICHAEL TETTENBORN]

Bernd,

We should also understand cumulate.  Another common
adjective when describing eucrites.

As I understand things, cumulate refers to largish
crystals accumulating in a pile and relatively
undisturbed.  So a cumulate eucrite formed deeper
within the parent body (Vesta) where temperature were
warmer and the crust more fluid?  Will check my
references later.

When I looked at various eucrite pictures I was
reminded of Millbillillie but Millbillillie is not
listed as a cumulate eucrite in the Met. Base.  Could
it be one?  It has a very distinct crystal pile in my
opinion.

Cheers,

Mike

[meteorite-list] Meteorite talk

[Tettenborn]

Hello List,

I have been asked to give a presentation about 
meteorites to the Bruce Astronomical Club in Southhampton, Ontario. If 
anyone is in the area the evening of August 7th let me know and I will send 
directions.

This is my first group presentation about 
meteoritesand I was wondering if anyone had any online resources for an 
introduction to meteorites talk. Can anyone help or give advice on how to 
structure the presentation?

I am planning to bring lots of samples as well as 
lots of Sudbury impact material so the talk will be very much hands on. I 
am also thinking of setting up a table with various pieces on display, many of 
which will not be meteorites, and having a challenge where the people can guess 
which are and aren't meteorites. Perhaps a meteorite for the person who is 
most accurate.

For now I think that the presentation will be 
primarily a question and answer discussion with only a brief intro top 
meteorites review. 

I would appreciate any help.

Cheers,

[meteorite-list] New Canadian Meteorite!

[Tettenborn]

NEWS!

A third Canadian Pallasite has been found in 
Southampton. This is just 30km from where I live.

2500 gms individual was found in April 2001 by a 78 
year old retired pipe fitter. This gentleman was strolling along the beach 
and came across this beauty. 

The meteorite was classified at Western University, 
London, Ontario.

I will post more later.

I really enjoy having the meteorite posts coming directly to me.

As I and my wife are on a few lists we simply have the e-mails directed to

 Hello all,

 I wonder if it is possible to have these posts put on a
 central server rather than having them sent to all of
 our individual e-mail boxes.

 We could log onto that server site to check the
 messages rather than having to wade through them in our
 boxes.

 This meteorite central list-serve for me is getting to
 be a pain to deal with in my box for if I do not delete
 the hundreds of posts every week then my box rapidly
 fills up.

 I am sure that others have experieced this, and perhpas
 there is a solution to it.

 If so, let me know...  And if not, then maybe we could
 find one.

[meteorite-list] Bensour

[Tettenborn]

Just received my Bensour fragment. 
Wonderful! Thanks Mike.

This fragment started out as 9.3 grams with ~1/3 
crust. I polished a face (with alchol) and the piece ended up as 7.9 
grams. This loss was well worth it because the micro brecciation is 
astonding!

I now have a wonderful fresh LL6 with a nice 
polished face showing beautiful brecciation as well as lots of crust and a third 
fragmented face.

Life is good!

This piece also has a nice metalic golden 
inclusion.Colour and lustersimilar to pyrite. I have 
seen these in other posted images as well. Can someone confirm what these 
inclusions are. I believe I read a post that mentioned 
Troilite?

 Greetings Listees,

 I am off sabbatical and wanted to announce plans for several international
trips
 my son and I will be making over the course of now through May.  We plan
to
 visit locales which have meteorite/mineral/fossil collections, historical
mines,
 open collecting sites and perhaps link up with colleagues to discuss
common
 interests.(Note: Home cooked meals would not be declined )

 Presently we are leaving Tuesday the 25th of Feb. for Hawaii and Japan for
2
 weeks.  Upon return to the  east coast of the US we are anticipating
traveling
 generally in succession to Spain, Morocco, Italy, and Greece for 2-3
weeks.

 Follow on travel to Austria, France , Germany, BeNeLux, and the UK are
planned
 but the timelines are vague but would likely occur mid to late April.

 Turkey, Oman, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, and Egypt are future options after
May.

 If you have suggestions or information as to locations/collections of
interest,
 or an interest in meeting while were are in your area, please reply off
list.
 Any and all tips, hints, or suggestions would be appreciated. Please make
it
 easy on me and my rusty geographical senses by providing enough
information that
 I can locate the facilility /area you suggest in an Atlas (including a
major
 metropolitan area it is near). If you'd like to meet , host, or travel
along
 we'd love to look at that opportunity.  In like mind, if you anticipate
visiting
 the US around New Jersey or Pennsylvania --including the Franklin New
Jersey
 Fluorescent Mineral Locale and Zinc Mines or Pennsylvania Fern Fossil
sites, and
 Coal Mines--please do not hesitate to ask.

 Thank you for your indulgence. I am looking forward to meeting many of the
 international folks with whom I have corresponded.

 Regards,
 Elton Jones

Matteo,

Please forward Frau Doctor's email address to me.  If you feel so inclined,
please forward to the list as well.

As I have not seen the emails she mentions which you sent I can not comment
on the harassment angle.  Still, I believe she has crossed the line and has
not given you the due respect you deserve.

I would like to email her and ask why this meteorite has not been recognized

 hello all

 Is arrive to me this nice email from the dealear of
 the famous Eagle Butte METEORITE...WOW

 Hey, IDIOT! Are you telling me that the University of
 Calgary and a university in Miami not to mention
 myself (having a PhD in Geology/Paleontology and a BSc
 with a major in Astrophysics) are liars? I know this
 guy very well and have seen the meteorites first hand.
 They are genuine! ALSO, he does not require a permit
 to sell them, I talked to the government of Alberta
 for him to obtain all the necessary documents needed
 to sell, THERE WERE NONE REQUIRED! If you would like
 to contact them yourself, go ahead. As far as I am
 concerned if you do not stop contacting all of his
 buyers I will have you suspended from eBay. I have
 studied the area from which these meteorites were
 collected, if you knew what a map looked like you
 would see the astrobleme for yourself (considering you
 know what the hell an astrobleme is). If you know how
 to read coordinates the site is located at Lat.49.70,
 Long. 110.58 on the Alberta Geological Survey's
 Geological map of Alberta, you can find this map on
 the Alberta Geological Surveys Web site, I'd send you
 the link but I have no patients for people who speak
 before they think or RESEARCH! Another note, you
 addressed the e-mail you sent me Dear Sir, well
 unless I've grown a penis in the time it's taken you
 to get your small minded theories on to an e-mail to
 irritate people you don't even know and make a
 complete ass out of yourself, I prefer to be called
 Dr. or Ma'am. You have no idea how stupid you sound.
 These meteorites are for real so I suggest you get a
 life and find another hobby, maybe something you're
 good at, because you obviously can't tell genuine
 material from the empty space in your head. One more
 thing, IF it were illegal to sell these items on
 e-Bay, e-Bay would have sent notification of such, not
 only this but there are numerous Professors,
 Geologists, Paleontologists, etc., etc. who watch
 e-Bay like hawks to ensure that Alberta's protected
 resources are not being sold illegally over the
 internet. A good friend and collegue of mine has
 contacted this seller to let him know that he was not
 to sell some of his other items due to protectability
 under the Alberta Government, for example, dinosaur
 bones I believe you notably criticized as being
 'cattle bones' (if my recollection serves me
 correctly). This seller has sent me numerous copies of
 your rediculous e-mails, I gave him all the
 information he needed to deal with your sorry ass and
 now you're taking up my time. I write this letter not
 as a professional but as a friend, so please, don't go
 opening your big mouth to people you don't know, when
 you don't know what you are talking about; that is
 unless you enjoy making an ass out of yourself.

 Do not try to contact me again, I WILL have you
 suspended from e-Bay for harassment of buyers and
 obstruction of a sellers auctions.

 Sincerely,
 T.L. Schimpf, PhD. BSc.

 Any question?

[meteorite-list] Science Fair Project

[Tettenborn]

Dear List,

My name is Alex Tettenborn and I am doing a Grade 7 science fair project on
the possibility of meteorites contributing to the development of life on
earth.  I plan to place algae and plant seeds in water with crushed
Murchison meteorite, and observe rate of growth compared to the control
samples (distilled water and crushed pumice).  I got this idea from the
latest Meteorite magazine.  I think that the Murchison  meteorite will
enhance the growth of both the plants and algae because many essential
nutrients and organic molecules have been found in carbonaceous chondrites.

I would like your opinion on my experiment and my hypothesis and any other
observations on Murchison meteorites and other carbonaceous chondrites.

I would also like to thank Russ from the New England Meteorological Services
for the generous donation of Murchison meteorite crumbs.

[meteorite-list] Science Fair Again. Sigh!!!!!

[Tettenborn]

Hello All,

Once again my budding scientist son has decided to work with meteorites in
his science fair.  I am thrilled at this but I may have to donate a 1.2 gram
sample of Murchison.

He decided to study the effect of phosphate levels on the growth of algae
and was about to start when the latest issue of meteorite arrived.  In it is
a wonderful article Meteorites, and the Origins and Future of Life.  In
the article the author describes tests where algae and plants are grown
using meteorite based soil samples.  I showed this to Alex and he instantly
thought of doing such an experiment for his science fair project since he
already has the algae culture started.

Can anyone supply the chemical composition of Murchison?  Paicularily
nutrient levels (phosphates etc.)

Can anyone supply other information regarding meteorites and the supporting
of tertestrial life?

And,...  does anyone have about a gram of crumbs they are willing to sell? I
really want to keep my slice and would rather buy some smaller fragments to
smash up and use.

Thanks,

Mike Tettenborn

 Hi Matteo

 You are probably correct. This guy is sick of my emails
 telling him that if he was selling Canadian meteorites, that
 he better have an export permit.

 In fact, he is NOT worried about a Canadian export permit
 because he is NOT selling any known Canadian meteorites.
 He has no classification done, nor is he in the process of

 We have a big ammount of diamond of diiferent quality.
 The diamonds are not ordinary diamonds but rather they are of

 examined them carfully in the lab and by experts and they are of very
good
 quality (some are D, VVS1, up to 10 carat).
 You can see some pictures at:

[meteorite-list] Eagle Butte - Anyone knows this meteorite?

[Tettenborn]

Matteo and List,

I was also curious about this Canadian Meteorite.  The U of  Calgary
meteorite page (http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/cdnmeteorites/) does not mention
Eagle Butte.

Yet, there is an Eagle Butte crater in southern Alberta.

Eagle Butte Alberta, Canada
Lat. 49.70; Long: -110.58 Diam. (km): 19; Age (My): 65 +/-
Sawatzky, H. B. ; Two probable late Cretaceous astroblemes in western
Canada; Eagle Butte, Alberta and Dumas, Saskatchewan; Geophysics, v. 41n. 6,
p. 1261-1271, 1976

I seriously doubt that these iron meteorites could survive since the late
cretaceous unless very fortunate entombment (Lake Murray scenario) occurred
after impact.

Anyone else have any info?

Cheers,

Mike Tettenborn

  Why hello brother Matt.

 Michael C.-
You know- I don't understand what your problem is.
 You are not only hurting yourself as a dealer and
 yourself as a person- but also others who are trying
 to donate and learn from others this list.
Most people are begining to ignore you as you seem
 to only want to irritate others and bring attention to
 yourself. If you are having personal problems I
 sincerely hope you get some help.
From here on out I am not only ignoring your emails
 but I have put your email address in my address
 blocker. I hope others do the same and request your
 removal from access to the list until you can show
 some respect for others.

[meteorite-list] Meterotie Contest

[Tettenborn]

List,

Below is a message I sent to a friend about 5 
months ago detailing an idea for a contest. Would like to know if the list 
is interested and if people would participate. If there is some interest 
is there anyone out there that would like to design and host the web 
page?

Cheers,

Mike Tettenborn

Juris,I had a thought last night and want to pass it by 
you.How about organizing a contest for guessing the place of the next 
official meteorite fall.People could e-mail in a vote of the nearest 
town or land mark and these could be posted on a web site which includes the 
person's name. All entrants must pledge a meteorite slice or fragment (say 
worth ~$10 or so) and those meteorites will go into a pool. Dealers may 
want to pledge a little more. When a fall happens then the person with the 
closest town or land mark (could be thousands of mile away)gets all the 
meteorites. We could have an impartial judge or panel decide who 
won. We would also need some guide line as to what constitutes a 
fall. Say at least 1 kg. and many witnesses. Other rules would have 
to be carefully thought out. Tagish Lake and Bilanga and Ourique would all 
qualify.
As well, the people who pledged the 
meteorites would be asked to mail their specimens to the winner.The web 
site could even post pictures of the pledge meteorites.This contest 
could go on for a year or two and be lots of fun if many people signed 
up.What do you think?tett

Re: [meteorite-list] CR2s a temporary bargain

[Tettenborn]

Mike,

You also stated that you were mapping the strewn 
field. Can you make this map available now that the field has been 
cleaned? This would make your cache even more valuable.

Now all the people thumbing there noses at NWA's 
will have to pause and consider this find with a known location of quantifiable 
and gorgeous material.

Many collectors have been blessed with the NWA 
meteorite rush with many now having material only found in museums 3 years 
ago. The worlds museums have also been blessed. I have seen what 
David has contributed to the Royal Ontario Museum and the quantity and beauty of 
what he has given is astounding. The R.O.M. is extremely 
grateful.

Cheers,

tett (Mike Tettenborn)

Subject: [meteorite-list] CR2s a 
temporary bargain

Dear List

 I am one of about 4 
dealers who bought up CR2s in Morroco.We all shared our good fortune with 
friends, collectors and Ebay buyers.This however was a very temporary 
opportunity which will never be seen again. Dean Bessy allowed collectors 
for a once in a lifetime chance at letting them have CR2s at $23 a gram. 
People who would never have dreamed one year ago at such an opportunity, now 
proudly display their CR2s and are expanding their collections.He will sell 
out at Tucson leaving only three of us with the lion's share of this find. 
The strewn field is small and totally worked over.Those of us left will 
never after Tucson let this rare material sell for under $100 a gram.I 
probably control half of the fall and will personally keep or donate it to 
the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto , Canada. [ about4,000+ grams]. Thus 
supply and demand kick in and those that have it are in no hurry to sell it 
at low prices after Feb. 2002. For those that bought CR2s from Dean, 
Congratulations on the great deal. For those who didn't it's highly unlikely 
you will ever be offered this gift again, which was more of a temporary 
parntnership to help offset Deans investment.Dean has done well by buying 
from the source andadding a bit of a mark up. He is providing material 
today that we could only havedreamed of a year ago at affordable 
prices. He has helped to expand the base of our collecting community and is 
an asset to us.Those who bought in the past at high prices should not worry. 
The material is limited and will continue to sell to high prices in the 
future. Best regards 
DavidGregory

[meteorite-list] My First Piece

[Tettenborn]

Quite a thread running hear.

My first piece was aquired only 2+ years ago.  A neat little 3 gram Allende
end cut from Mike Farmer off ebay.  I did trade it away (reluctantly) for an
8 gram LL3 end cut a few months ago.  Economically a good deal but still sad
to part with it.

I am as addicted as Roman J. and do get the shakes from time to time but
have not been able to match his very impressive collection.  Mine (needs to
be updated) can be seen at http://www.bmts.com/~tett/meteorite.html.

The best thing of collecting meteorites is getting involved with this
wonderful community.  Hopefully one year I will be able to get to Tucson.

Cheers
