See some examples here: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/home/meteorite-documentaries/3d-meteorite-scans Among others I chose two oriented chondrites for the project and came to wonder whether someone here is in the business of aerodynamic flight simulation.

[meteorite-list] meteorites from Earth Aw: Scientists Reconstruct Ancient, Massive Impact
The question is: Which achondrites have creation ages of 3.23 billion to 3.47 billion years ? Perhaps we have material from this event among our collections. Some material might still be flying in the solar system, even 3 billion years later. Regards, Thomas Kurtz Weil der Stadt, Germany Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

The collision punches a crater into the planet's crust that's nearly 500 kilometers (about 300 miles) across: greater than the distance from Washington, D.C. to New York City, and up to two and a half times larger in diameter than the hole formed by the dinosaur-killing asteroid. Seismic waves bigger than any recorded earthquakes shake the planet for about half an hour at any one location - about six times longer than the huge earthquake that struck Japan three years ago. The impact also sets off tsunamis many times deeper than the one that followed the Japanese quake. Although scientists had previously hypothesized enormous ancient impacts, much greater than the one that may have eliminated the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, now a new study reveals the power and scale of a cataclysmic event some 3.26 billion years ago which is thought to have created geological features found in a South African region known as the Barberton greenstone belt. The research has been accepted for publication in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. The huge impactor - between 37 and 58 kilometers (23 to 36 miles) wide - collided with the planet at 20 kilometers per second (12 miles per second). The jolt, bigger than a 10.8 magnitude earthquake, propelled seismic waves hundreds of kilometers through the Earth, breaking rocks and setting off other large earthquakes. Tsunamis thousands of meters deep - far bigger than recent tsunamis generated by earthquakes - swept across the oceans that covered most of the Earth at that time. We knew it was big, but we didn't know how big, Donald Lowe, a geologist at Stanford University and a co-author of the study, said of the asteroid. [Graphic] A graphical representation of the size of the asteroid thought to have killed the dinosaurs, and the crater it created, compared to an asteroid thought to have hit the Earth 3.26 billion years ago and the size of the crater it may have generated. A new study reveals the power and scale of the event some 3.26 billion years ago which scientists think created geological features found in a South African region known as the Barberton greenstone belt. Credit: American Geophysical Union Lowe, who discovered telltale rock formations in the Barberton greenstone a decade ago, thought their structure smacked of an asteroid impact. The new research models for the first time how big the asteroid was and the effect it had on the planet, including the possible initiation of a more modern plate tectonic system that is seen in the region, according to Lowe. The study marks the first time scientists have mapped in this way an impact that occurred more than 3 billion years ago, Lowe added, and is likely one of the first times anyone has modeled any impact that occurred during this period of the Earth's evolution. The impact would have been catastrophic to the surface environment. The smaller, dino-killing asteroid crash is estimated to have released more than a billion times more energy than the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The more ancient hit now coming to light would have released much more energy, experts said. The sky would have become red hot, the atmosphere would have been filled with dust and the tops of oceans would have boiled, the researchers said. The impact sent vaporized rock into the atmosphere, which encircled the globe and condensed into liquid droplets before solidifying and falling to the surface, according to the researchers. The impact may have been one of dozens of huge asteroids that scientists think hit the Earth during the tail end of the Late Heavy Bombardment period, a major period of impacts that occurred early in the Earth's history - around 3 billion to 4 billion years ago. Many of the sites where these asteroids landed were destroyed by erosion, movement of the Earth's crust and other forces

[meteorite-list] New fall in Germany 1.3kg Braunschweig
Hi list, there is a new fall in Germany, which I think was not posted yet in our list. (intense discussions in German met. forum) Some few facts: Ordinary chondrite (L6), still under classification. Fall in 23 or 24 April-2013 , ~2am local time. Only one eye-witness which saw the end of the bolide and heard one detonation later. One ear-witness who heard the bang on the ground while he was watching TV. Only one poor picture is available from a meteor camera due to a very cloudy night. 1.3kg fell directly into a parking place of a private house, hundreds of broken pieces scattered around, also to the road. Some were pulverised by cars. Fortunately most of them were recovered, by quick reaction of Rainer Bartoschewitz. Second larger piece (left one from picture 2) is now exhibited in Ries Crater museum, at least until Sept. 2013 (214,1 g major piece). The individual meteorite demaged the paving stones. (=hammer fall?) The recovery of the paving stones around the striking hole failed due to a complete structure change caused by the impact. (Their collapsed to sand grains, which was first not visible on the paving stones. There is a breathtaking picture of this in the museum) The nose cone-shape of the individual was reconstructed (inteligent guessing) by Karl Wimmer and shows that probably more individuals separeted from the main mass. (map with best estimation for a strewn field is available. So far no further finds known) Enjoy: http://www.braunschweiger-zeitung.de/lokales/Braunschweig/meteorit-fiel-in-braunschweig-vom-himmel-id990080.html See some of you soon in Ensisheim, Regards from Weil der Stadt, (birth town of Johannes Kepler) Thomas Kurtz __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Just the first ablation phase in the upper atmosphere is visible. With best wishes from Ries-crater in Germany.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor Crater AZ.
Hello Bob, list, yes, they are selling few Canyon Diablo meteorites in the space shop, but not many pieces and very expensive. I was there last November and found 30 small pieces 300m north of the crater, but after 9 minutes two ranger saw us and said, we have to leave. But we could keep our pieces, they didn't ask ;-) I haven't seen other meteorites in the shop. Bye, Thomas. Bob Evans schrieb: I'll be making my first visit to the world famous Meteor Crater in AZ. in a couple of weeks. Im just curious... for those that have been there, do they sell any meteorites? Canyon Diablo as well as other meteorites?

RE: [meteorite-list] NWA's, Nomads, Collectors
Hello Nels, I can totally agree with your wisdom words. I experienced the same on my hunting adventures in different places in the world and I am so glad, that it is possible to travel without big circumstances through the world. Remember, that some times ago it was not possibly : No GPS, no airplanes, many borders were closed for strangers, cold war ect. I wished all you collectors and hunters could think and feel the same.

They really are gifts that are priceless. We try in our humble way to possess these gifts when we purchase them. There is the problem! We're mixing economy with emotion. Everyone needs a dollar to live, philosophically, we need only our thoughts.I think my experiences, the friends I've made on this journey, are priceless. I love the meteorites, but they are secondary. The unfortunate thing is, it's difficult for many to be philosophical when they don't have food to eat, let alone health care! Whoever can't see the good side of something is truly a poor person.

RE: [meteorite-list] Octahedrite formation and Mars
Yes, and in the core of our earth there are Widmanstaetten pattern too. Unfortunately, we will never dig it out :-) Regards, Thomas, California. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of tracy latimer Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 10:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] Octahedrite formation and Mars I was just reading Meteorites and the Origin of Planets, by John A. Wood. In it, I found a statement that octahedrites are formed by exceptionally slow cooling over millions of years, such as might be found in the insulated center of a planetoid. We already know that Mars has a very weak magnetic field and negligible vulcanism, leading some scientists to believe that its core has largely cooled. Might this mean that, if we were able to extract a chunk of Martian core, it would exhibit an octahedral pattern? Anyone care to speculate on the nickel content of the Martian core? Mars is one big Wiedmanstatten pattern! Tracy Latimer _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[meteorite-list] Perseids 2004 from California
How was it for some of the rest of you? Best regards, Robert Woolard Hello List, I observed the Perseids in California, 1 Mile from the Lick Observatory and it was a great show ! I begun at 4:10 AM and saw 7 Perseids in 2 minutes. Then unfortunately, comes a cop and drove my friend and me away, at 4:10 AM! This is Americas Liberty. But we drove some miles away and saw between 4:25-4:40 20 Perseids. 3 bolides (-4m, -2m, -1m) and many perseids with magnitude 4-6m. Greetings from Sunnyvale, Thomas Kurtz. PS.: I'm living now near San Jose in Silicon Valley. I'm working by Pinnacle Systems until end of February. I am very interested to get to know meteorite collectors from my neighborhood. Who lives here ? Last weekend I was in Nevada in Tungsten Mountain and found a 8g Meteorite. I have much experience in the field of meteorite hunting and found meteorites in Poland and in Arabia desert. I'm very interested to search for meteorites with you in the next 7 months. Please let me know and we can make a Silicon Valley meteorite meeting here. I brought some seldom meteorite with me, probably lunar ! My website : www.stud.fh-hannover.de/~kurtzt __ Do you Yahoo!?

[meteorite-list] Re: Rare Leighlinbridge for sale
Hello Dave, hello everyone, I have (or very soon will have) a 1.548g slice of the last fall of the Millennium, Leighlinbridge, Ireland, 28th Nov 1999, about 10pm... To be exact, there is a different last fall of the millenium : 18.01.2000 : Tagish Lake. It is destiny, that the last millenium fall is a very unusual meteorite and not a common type !
