Darren and List Thank you for the read up on Murchison meteorite on how scientist have identified over 14,000 compounds and counting. While we are on the topic of Murchison meteorite, I came across an article on line that points out these interesting facts and finds on the Murchison as quoted from the article as follows "Presolar grains are the oldest materials in the solar system," says Philipp Heck of the University of Chicago. "The ages of the grains clearly indicate that they are older than the solar system." But just how old? Heck and his colleagues isolated 22 grains from the Murchison meteorite, which is well-known for the organic material it contains, and measured how long the grains spent in interstellar space before winding up in our nascent solar system. The implied grain ages, reported in a recent paper of the Astrophysical Journal, appear to support a hypothesis that our solar system formed after a smaller satellite galaxy crashed into the Milky Way around 6 billion years ago.".. "From the isotope abundances, the researchers estimate that the majority of grains spent between 3 and 200 million years in interstellar space before falling into our molecular cloud some 4.6 billion years ago." Here is the link to the article I found on line. http://www.astrobio.net/pdffiles/news_3202.pdf and if your up for a read, here is an article on the age of presolar SiC grains found in Murchison meteorite. http://presolar.wustl.edu/ref/Gyngard09b.pdf Enjoy Shawn Alan [meteorite-list] Murchison-- chock full o' stuffDarren Garrison cynapse at charter.net Tue Feb 16 00:25:30 EST 2010 Previous message: [meteorite-list] West Texas Meteorite Hunt - February 15, 2009 Next message: [meteorite-list] West Texas Meteorite Hunt - February 15, 2009 Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] http://news.discovery.com/space/meteorite-crammed-with-millions-of-organic-compounds.html Meteorite Crammed with 'Millions' of Organic Compounds By Ian O'Neill | Mon Feb 15, 2010 04:52 PM ET A meteorite that hit the town of Murchison, Australia, hasn't quit giving up its secrets. The Murchison meteorite is one of the most studied space rocks because many pieces were recovered after it was seen breaking up as it fell through the atmosphere in 1969. Approximately 100 kg of the carbonaceous chondrite was recovered. Carbonaceous chondrites are extremely important to scientists as they were formed from material that existed in the solar system's planet-forming disk of gas and dust. They are, quite literally, time capsules holding onto a 4 billion year old record of the birth of our solar system. In this case, the Murchison meteorite has given us another clue as to the abundance of organic chemicals that existed before the Earth had formed. In fact, this particular meteorite may have originated from material older than our sun. "We are really excited. When I first studied it and saw the complexity I was so amazed," said Dr Phillipe Schmitt-Kopplin, of the Institute for Ecological Chemistry in Neuherberg, Germany. "Meteorites are like some kind of fossil. When you try to understand them you are looking back in time." This new research made use of high resolution spectroscopic tools to identify the various compounds inside. Although this meteorite has provided scientists with vast amounts of information about specific carbon-based organics before, this was the first non-targeted study. In other words, the researchers weren't tracking down just one type of chemical, they did a broad analysis for all the chemicals it might contain. And what they found came as a shock, it appears that the primordial solar system probably had a higher chemical diversity than present-day Earth. In this study, 14,000 specific compounds including 70 amino acids were identified. But this number appears to be the tip of the iceberg; the meteorite probably contains millions of different organic compounds. More detailed analysis will now be carried out. But why is this important? To understand the diversity of organic chemicals that were floating around a primordial solar system will help us understand how life may have appeared on Earth. This particular chunk of carbonaceous chondrite drifted through the gas and dust of the early solar system, collecting all the basic organic chemistry from around that time, does that mean diverse organic chemistry is the "norm" for proto-planetary star systems? These organic compounds are known to exist on comets, asteroids and other planetary bodies, so what makes Earth the hothouse of life when everywhere else seems to be lifeless? If organic chemistry is ubiquitous, perhaps planning to "seed" young star

I am also continuously puzzled by the abundance of paired meteorites (thus those that are officially recognized as such). Let's suppose that once one (or a few) meteorite(s) are selected from an important lot (as found) and sold to someone, this someone (scientist, collector) would envisage its classification. And the same will possibly happen with the other meteorites from the same lot. As a result, there will be as many different NWA numbers, as independent classifications (of the - probably- same meteorite). As most of these classifications probably won't be concerted, there will not be pairings reported and we will end up with as many different meteorites, most probably of the same type, that will never be suspected being paired. If a pairing is suspected, I believe this results from "concerted" analyses (of either meteorites stemming from the same lot and analyzed by different groups, or of the same meteorites provided by different finders (buyers) brought for analysis to the same group). This even complicates further if there are more than one such "lot" found (meteorite shower spread throughout a large strewnfield). In case of such "concerted" analyzes, I guess that the labs will still give a different NWA number to each meteorite (or group of meteorites from the same lot) analyzed, because one is never sure that 2 meteorites supposed to come from the same lot are at 100% the same. If pairing is reported, then most of the time (not always) it is mentioned in the Met. Bulls. But because all analyzes were done independently, each analyzed meteorite (or group of meteorites from the same verified lot) will receive its own NWA number. Here I realize that, at that stage, it is very difficult to decide to only retain as official the first NWA number attributed chronologically and to cancel all the next NWA numbers. I for one am just happy when pairings are reported. This is often the case for "important" types such as the planetaries. But for the "common" H6's or L5's, I believe this is very seldom done. So far, regarding my collection catalogue, here is what I mention (for my NWA 4857 sample taken as an example), just to have an idea of the total mass of that meteorite evaluated so far. NWA 4857 (Algeria, Shergottite enr maf), 0.928 g in collection; tkw:1...@24 g: Paired with NWA 2975 (70.1 g), NWA 2986 (170 g), NWA 2987 (82 g), NWA 4766 (225 g), NWA 4783 (120 g), NWA 4864 (94 g), NWA 4878 (130 g), NWA 4880 (81.6 g), NWA 4930 (117.5 g), NWA 5140 (7.5 g), NWA 5214 (50.7 g), NWA 5219 (60 g), NWA5313 (5.3 g) and NWA 5366 (39.6 g). Cumulated tkw: 1273.3 g (as per Jan. 2010) I know that this neither sheds more light to the problem, nor answers your concerns. Hopefully someone can add more to the issue. My best, Zelimir At 17:09 18/01/2010, Greg Catterton wrote: I have often wondered and after some discussion with others I wanted to get the community feeling on the issue of pairings. If a meteorite say NWA 1877 for example is out there and more is recovered and verified to be the same material from the same strewnfield, should the new material share the NWA number and the TKW be updated? I have noticed many pairings with NWA 1877 and many other meteorites. Same material with different numbers and TKWs listed. Would it not be in the best interest to have all the paired samples share on number? This would surely cut the amount of NWA material by 1000 or more. Why is this not done? What is the process for pairing material to share the NWA number? Is it up to the dealer or the person who did testing? What affect would it have on value if something with a listed TKW of 200g suddenly was paired with the 3 other numbers assigned to the same material and the TKW was pushed to 1kg or more? Surely it would decrease as supply grew. Is this a concern for some? I am trying to better understand the politics/red tape that goes with this area. Thanks, hope everyone is doing well.

[meteorite-list] Catch the meteor shower on Sunday night
Catch the meteor shower on Sunday night By PRISCILLA DIELENBERG GEORGE TOWN: Local astronomy buffs who want to catch this year's Geminid meteor shower should remember to look to the skies this Sunday night. Universiti Sains Malaysia's Astronomy and Atmospheric Science Research Unit lecturer Associate Prof Dr Chong Hon Yew said the annual shower was visible in the night sky to the naked eye in all directions. This year's shower should peak at 1pm local time on Monday, visible to observers in the western hemisphere in North America and South America. "However, the Geminid shower has a broad peak of about one-and-a-half days and so, with good weather permitting and a waning moon, many meteors should be visible on Sunday night," he said. The Geminid meteor shower occurs every year between Dec 9 and 19, reaching its peak on Dec 13 and 14. Dr Chong said the source of the Geminid meteors was from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. "Usually, meteor showers are caused by the debris of comets burning up in the Earth's atmosphere." He also invited the public to join his team's observations for free at the field next to the unit's premises within USM, or the Pearl of Orion Observatory next to the Bukit Genting Hill Leisure Park and Restaurant in Balik Pulau, or the Lim Choon Kiat Private Observatory near Pulau Betong on Sunday night. "We will be observing the shower from 9pm all the way to morning but the public can come and go any time as they please," he said All the best, Tim Heitz MIDWEST METEORITES - http://www.meteorman.org/ This message and any attachments contain information intended for a specific party and may include sensitive or confidential material.

[meteorite-list] Richard Norton
Hello Dorothy, It is a shock Richard was one of the most respected people in the meteorite community. I will treasure the signed copy of "Rocks from Space" that I read 3 times and The Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites that is a master piece. We will miss him and his work, I will never forget him. With Warm Respects, Tim Heitz Hello List-Members, Late last night I received a very sad email from Dorothy Norton. Richard Norton passed away last week, after a long illness. I had known fot quite some time that Richard was in poor health, still the news of his death came as a shock. Last time I called Dorothy, I heard piano playing in the background, Chopin and very good, I thought it was a CD playing or the radio, but Dorothy told me it was Richard, and we stopped a moment to listen, it was beautiful, I had no idea Richard was such a virtuoso. I had met Richard and Dorothy several years ago in Tucson, Thanks to Twink. I was very much a new comer then , and I found Richard to be bright, friendly, funny and so approchable. I still remember showing him a slice of Tafassasset, he looked at it with his loupe for quite a while, then told me that this meteorite left him speechless. Dorothy laughed, apparently Richard was rarely speechless. And now there is that great big hole in the middle of the Meteorite Community. Please read the obituary written by Dorothy and Joel Schiff: http://www.impactika.com/rnorton.doc I do know that Dorothy reads the List, so feel free to send her a message this way. Or, if you prefer, I'll be glad to relay your private message to her. Thank you. Anne M. Black http://www.impactika.com/ impact...@aol.com Vice-President, I.M.C.A.

Adam does not stop buying from Moroccans, hes a liar, After this message we all know he bought NWA5000 and this 'ROCK" is another story. All I want and most of us, from the is to make things clear, if I'm ripped off by someone, I would tell his name after many times trying to get paid or get my stone(s) back, and then everybody must talk to him, if he does not fix the problem, everybody shoud STOP dealling with him.

Again, this stone was recovered (rescued) the day before the monsoon rains hit the strewnfield this last week. These slices were expertly cut by Marlin Cilz at the Montana Meteorite Lab with one of their wire saws. With many years of experience cutting meteorites, Marlin made some stellar slices. Due to the very fragile fusion crust, none of the slices preserved 100% of the crust unbroken all the way around. Possibly, if the slices were thicker, we would have had slightly better results, but due to the desire to keep these slices as thin as possible, the slices endured some "chipping" of the crust as the wire saw went through it. Nonetheless, these are amazing looking slices. The brecciation is very pronounced in these slices. Each full slice has a zone of light material, that stands in strong contrast to the zones with strong veining. With the end results of the two other known 1.5kg and 1.7kg masses still in question (whether they will be cut or not), it is possible that this might be the only chance for collectors to get a large full slice of this very popular fall. If the another piece is found, or if one of the other two known larger masses would be cut, it is a crap shoot on what their interiors will look like (heavily brecciated to not at all brecciated). Also, any rock that could be found after the strong rains, from this last week, has a much greater chance of severe rusting on the interior. On a side note, Marlin kept commenting on how these West specimen slices look EXACTLY like Peekskill. And he should know as he cut most of the Peekskill back in the day. With the end pieces, and the saw losses from the cutting, there will be less than 1kg of full slices that could make it to market from this mass. I chose to have this specimen cut to generate more slices, yet smaller in size, rather than fewer slices that would have been larger in size and weight (and price). This will allow more institutions and collectors to obtain a full slice for their collections, and at lower overall prices. While the mass is still being sliced from, Marlin told me that the 78.1g full slice offered here today will be the largest slice from this mass. While I would like to make as much profit as possible from the sales, I am pricing these to sell quickly. While I think these are worth more than what I am selling them for, I also understand some people will be hesitant to pay too much for a slice now, fearing more slices might show up later at a lower price. But even if another rain-avoided mass shows up in slices, I seriously doubt they will be offered much lower in price than what I am offering these for. NOTICE: If these first 8 slices sell out too fast, I reserve the right to raise the prices on the next batch of slices that come from the saw in the next few days. Also, this price is NOT for part slices or smaller full slices I have made from other smaller specimens. These prices are only for the first 8 full slices of the 1,673g Mass.

Hello Bill, I got the bug just like you. I even started selling to support my habit and only for that reason. http://www.meteorman.org/ My story http://www.meteorman.org/Meteorite_Times_Tim_Heitz.pdf Thanks, Tim Heitz - Original Message - From: "Bill Hall" To: Sent: Sunday, March 15, 2009 10:18 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] I'm so happy! My 1st Post Hello to all, I've tried to post on here over a year ago and couldn't get any thru. Thanks Steve Dunklee for the advice. My problem was different, but you inspired me to work on it again. gmail has a tab you must click to send messages as plain text. OK METEORITES. I probably got the bug the same way many of you did, watching a show with Robert Haag searching for the Tucson Meteorite. This was many years ago, and thanks a lot Robert if you read this. I hope your HAPPY! You've created a brand new Addiction all on your own! Soon after this I purchased O Richard Nortons book Rocks From Space. Great book, but guess what! I found out I lived only 5 miles from Richard and Dorthy Norton!. I found myself soon sitting at the kitchen table looking at thin sections with Richard, and learning all about chondrules, etc. What a treat!! He told me all about the field of meteoritics, and this pushed me over the edge. I have a serious problem when it comes to meteorites. I'm a bit of a freak I suppose,... I take meteorites with me wherever I go, I buy meteorites for less than their worth, more than their worth, give them to strangers, and pass them out at star parties to the children. I constantly think about all the different ways to include them in my life, process them, preserve them, make things from them, hunting for them, e-bay etc. Its a wonder I get anything done at all! Took a trip to Florida in 2003, went to Kennedy Space Center, and purchased my 1st meteorite. About 40 grams on Nantan crust for only $40!! How funny! I was ( and still am ) so happy to have my Nantan crust rust. ( No I don't want to buy any more @ $1 gram, but thanks ) I did go back in 2004 and buy another piece however. Oct, 2007 found me heading to Arizona, (I live in Bend Oregon) what a ride! I spent 4 month there hunting meteorites, and purchasing whenever possible. Made my 1st trip to meteor crater, UN believable experience! Met all the guys from Morocco, and purchased several kilo's NWA, a few kilos here a few kilos there. Spent most of my time in Quartzsite working (I have a mobile RV service business) and playing. In quartzsite I met a guy who many of you know I'm sure who brings us the Campo's. I spent nearly every spare moment working on, and discussing meteorite hunting, preservation, future searches for the Esquel Palllasite etc. and a BBQ almost every night. Ended up with Campo's running out my ears! Then my new friend had to go to Tucson,... how sad I had to stay and work. Well he called me several times from there, and made several nice purchases for me, some of these were purchased from list members. #1 I got the nice big Brenham slice, with the L.A. Times newspaper, thanks Steve Arnold, I love it! #2 I got a big 12 kilo complete oriented chondrite, I think it came from Mohammad, but not sure #3 I got a 1 kilo Seymchan, and small 40 gram slice from one of you guys. and several other smaller pieces, thanks everyone. I vowed to make it to Tucson in 2009. I kept that vow...WOW! Even before I went, I had the pleasure to meet Ruben in Quartzsite, and be in one of his videos. Oh yea! I forgot, I found a 40 plus gram chondrite in the Quartzsite area. My 1st find, I GPS the coordinates, and photo in situ, etc. My friend Mark and I had walked for a hundred miles before we found it. How cool it wasand Ruben videoed it with his new HD camera, and stuck it on You Tube. SO COOL, thanks Ruben! Then Tucson: Oh boy..the post is getting long, sorry so exited to post.be calm, breath...OK 1st stop, the Ramada, and got 8 kilo chondrites from a nice boy from Morocco for REALLY cheap! then to the Days Inn and found my Campo connection, visited a bit, then Steve Arnold walked up and I got to meet him! Almost peed my pants! Then got oriented, found a place to park for the day, and headed to Inn Suites. Here I met Marvin Kilgore, ( again nearly peed) what a nice guy! purchased his book, and talked meteorites for an hour or so, met his nice wife Kitty and got some pictures. thanks Marvin and Kitty. Then met Bruno Fectay and Corine Bidaut, SUPER nice people. Checked out their Mars rock Chassignite, nice..and took their picture! Thanks. Then found Mike Farmers booth, WOW how cool is that! What a display! The work involved just setting up these rooms must take days. There were a ton of people in the room, but Mike went out of his way to help me, and was REALLY nice to me. Thanks Mike. Then found the Steve Arnold, Geoff Nottkin Room and met Steve again. I got a picture of me and Steve holding up a big Brenham. NICE. Tha

März 2009 16:57 An: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Betreff: [meteorite-list] Witnessed Falls and Hammers - warning, LONG. Hi Listees! :) I was compiling my latest inventory list, when I noticed that my collection of witnessed falls and hammers is growing to a semi-respectable number - albeit still quite small compared to some of the envious collections other list members have. So I thought I would ask the list - how many witnessed falls and how many hammers do you have in your collection? Right now, I have 25 witnessed falls and 11 hammers : Hammer falls - Allende Carancas Claxton Gao Guenie Holbrook Moss Murchison New Orleans Park Forest Peekskill Weston Other witnessed falls - Bassikounou Chergach Ensisheim Juvinas Norton County Shalka Sikhote Alin Tagish Lake Tamdakht Tatahouine Udei Station "West" Texas Zag Zagami This is only the beginning of my obsession with certain witnessed falls and hammers. I only collect recent falls that happened after I started collecting in late 2006. So, basically from Bassikounou forward is fair game. This is an arbitrary starting point, but it has meaning for me and gives me a firm boundary line to base my fall collection on. I am missing quite a few recent falls - mainly the hard to acquire ones like Cali, Berduc, Buzzard Coulee and others which are not legally on the market or are too rare/expensive for me to afford at the moment. As for my hammers - I have no conditions on collecting them. Any meteorite or fall that struck something is fair game and I want it. The more interesting the story behind a given hammer, the more interested I am in acquiring it. Claxton is awesome. Imagine how small a mailbox is. Even when considering there are millions of postal boxes around the world, what are the chances of a meteorite hitting one? To me, that is interesting. Peekskill is another great hammer - it creamed a Chevy Malibu. Of course, Peekskill may have been more interesting if it had struck an occupied vehicle, a police car, a hearse, or some other exceptional circumstance. But until that happens, a Chevy Malibu will suffice. ;) New Orleans? Very interesting. First, it struck a house, but it also tore a path of destruction through the house, destroying a desk. That makes it worth collecting. But even more interesting is the overlooked fact that New Orleans is the only visitor to New Orleans to visit the area and not come away drunk, drugged, tattooed or sans virginity. ;) Weston? Well, even if Thomas Jefferson had uttered the famous phrase he was misquoted for, the damn Yankee professors didn't lie. Anything that make a founding father look dense is worth collecting. I love Carancas - because it's a tease. I would love to have a fully-crusted, whole individual. But who wouldn't? It's like Tatahouine - you aren't getting any crust and you aren't getting a whole individual, no matter how much money you offer. You can't buy what doesn't exist, so Carancas and Tatahouine are the two teases of the meteorite world. But we love to be teased, so these two falls w

I have no retirement fund other that what I sock away on my own, no health-care plan, no sick days or any other form of money other than what I make myself. I had plans, and work to do, and this meteorite fall forced me to change those plans, and prioritize my time. Of course not everyone can do that, but come on, central Texas, barely one hour from Austin or Dallas, and no interest from meteorite specialists. I also told the meteorite list a week ago that I am going to publish my strewn-field map, with almost 100 stones to be listed. I can not list the other team's stones, as again, they are sworn to secrecy and not likely to share that kind of data like I am going to.

Or are they afraid someone will come along and find a meteorite, "steal" it, and ruin all their science? I don't get it? Steve #1 http://www.whitecourtstar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1282298 Meteor crater identified Posted By Alexandra Pope Posted 4 hours ago What local hunters in Whitecourt thought for years was a sinkhole is actually the crater left behind by a meteor that fell to earth 1,000 years ago and is now attracting international attention from researchers. George VanderBurg, MLA for Whitecourt-Ste. Anne, said he was very surprised to learn about the crater. He recalled going hunting with his father and using the site as a meeting point. Deer could often be found drinking rainwater that collected in the bottom of the crater, he said. "All of us that have grown up here have known about it, but we didn’t know it was the big scientific thing that it is," he said. Chris Herd, a professor with the University of Alberta’s department of earth and atmospheric sciences who is leading the research on the meteor crater, said he couldn’t believe his ears when someone from the area told him about the crater last year. "We still joke about how skeptical I was on the phone, because we literally get hundreds of these calls every year," Herd said in an interview at the crater site last Monday. "This is very exciting." The crater is 36 metres wide and six metres deep, which is small as far as most craters go, Herd said. At an estimated 1,000 years old, it is also one of the youngest craters in the world. The second-youngest crater in Canada, located in Quebec, is 1.2 million years old. Herd said the meteor, which was made primarily of iron, was probably formed very early in the life of the solar system by the same process that formed the earth’s core. Herd thinks the meteor came from the asteroid belt and measured one metre across. However, researchers have so far found 74 different pieces of the original meteor — which is called a meteorite once it hits the ground — scattered around the crater, some up to 70 metres away. "The big mystery is the relationship between the meteorites and the event," Herd said. Herd explained that most meteors travel so fast, they are completely vaporized when they hit the earth. In some cases the pressure of earth’s atmosphere slows a meteor down enough to leave a portion of it relatively intact when it lands. But something happened to the Whitecourt meteor on its way to earth, Herd said. The meteorites found around the crater have sharp edges, which tell researchers a story about what might have happened to the meteor before it hit the ground. "The rock was ripped apart on impact or at a low altitude," Herd said. "Otherwise the atmospheric pressure would have rounded (the edges of the meteorites)." The site is one of only 12 of its kind in the world and has been very well preserved, Herd said. "It’s a phenomenal opportunity for the research that I do," he said. Lindsay Blackett, Alberta minister of culture and community spirit, said the big concern for local authorities is how to prevent meteorite hunters from coming to the site and digging up meteorite fragments. The province will designate the site as a historic resource and post signs asking visitors to do their part in preserving it, but researchers fear that won’t stop some meteorite collectors from stealing rocks. "You really just have to count on the local community to keep an eye on it," Blackett said. "I think people having a vested interest in this site will (encourage them) to keep an eye on it." VanderBurg said once the researchers have finished their work, the site could be a great educational opportunity for the public and local students. "This is the kind of place that inspires kids to go out and seek careers in science," he said. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list **AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.

Thanks for sharing, stay cool:) Tim - Original Message - From: "Notkin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Meteorite List" Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 9:11 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Tomorrow in History + AMNH NYC Dear Listees: Greetings comrades from Tucson. It's been a pretty mild summer so far by our standards. I think 106F is the record to date : ) That's nothing for Tucson. I happened to be looking at one of those "Today in History" things this evening and found it interesting to note that tomorrow, July 19, is both the 96th anniversary of the great Holbrook fall (1912) and also the day that Apollo 11, carrying the mighty Eagle module went into lunar orbit -- that was 1969 for you youngsters who weren't glued to their TV sets back then. Of course, I was just wee lad myself at the time : ) So many List members have hunted at Holbrook -- I can think of at least twenty without even trying -- that it's a happy anniversary to mark. I often remember how our much-missed colleague the late, great Jim Kriegh would go up there on his own for a few days and come back with more pieces from one visit than I found in five trips. Kinda sad to think that Jim's house, just up the road from me, is now occupied by a non-meteorite hunter. I was in NYC recently -- my first visit in over four years -- and took some time to visit the AMNH and check out the "new" meteorite exhibit. For the most part it is really spectacular. I can imagine one of the designers saying: "You know that show 'Star Trek: Next Generation'? Well, we should make the display look like the bridge from that ship." The hall is very dark, with big ole' 31-ton Ahnighito sitting there in the middle on a raised circular stage, with one stellar iron after another arranged around it. On view is a truly gorgeous Glorieta Mountain siderite, covered in thumbprints and caramel patina, which I know will make a few GM hunters (myself included) almost insanely jealous : ) There is a cool diorama of Canyon Diablo, and all kinds of amazing, assorted goodies in vertical cases on the walls. I found the glass cases a little small and crowded, but the meteorites are so fabulous, who really cares? Many of you will, no doubt, have seen the "new" hall, which is, I suppose, already a few years old, but even after many years living in NYC it was a first for me. A fine afternoon spent there, and also visiting my favorite Allosaurus in the dinosaur halls. Highly recommended to anyone passing through the Big, Bad Apple. Enjoy your weekend, and kind regards to all from The Baked Apple.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fwd: How many meteorite dealers are there?
Hello Alex, The Dictionary states that a dealer is one that is engaged in buying and selling,. Most of the Meteorite Dealers I know also collect meteorites, there are only a few that don't collect.. Dealer just means someone who deals, simple as that. This is the Original Meteorite Dealers List http://www.meteorite.com/dealer_list.htm I counted 138 dealers, give or take a few, some are tektites only. Can you tell the MeteoriteMan is a dealer or the collector is the MeteoriteMan? Is there a borderline?

To answer the question of how many "dealers" there are, you have to be careful in these times of global communication via the internet. We can no longer think in classical schemes. Who can tell a dealer from a collector, a dealer-collector from a collector-dealer or any in-betweens, where it gets somehow blurred and indistinct. Many private collectors make up their own websites and also sell their meteorites. Should they considered to be "dealers" by virtue of this fact alone? Then again: where is the borderline? Is it, where dealers found a company, float a business with an official name to it and pay taxes for this special enterprise? I don´t know, and btw I admit it is not crucial for me since I am still and have always been nothing but a pure collector. Though it is interesting to see how things and perspectives have changed "in the field".

The cost was to be $25.05 (including free shipping and the pre-order discount) . About a week and a half ago I received an email from Amazon telling me that there was a delay and asking me to respond if I was still interested. I responded in the affirmative and later received an email from Amazon that the new expected date was in late July. I just visited my Amazon order page and it shows that the anticipated shipping date is July 21 (and my pre-order discount has disappeared). Clicking on the book title takes me to the book description page where it is noted that the book is temporarily out of stock. Apparently Amazon is confused. Anyway, I've waited 2 months already so what is another month? It would be interesting to know if anyone actually receives the book before July 21. Best regards, Charley "Well, squids don't work.

Hello List, Does anyone know if any other meteorites are being offered? Tim Heitz Midwest Meteorite - http://www.meteorman.org/ Go to Google News Rare meteorite goes under hammer 10 hours ago A meteorite is expected to fetch £500,000 at auction in New York this month. Weighing more than 925lbs, the object was discovered eight years ago in China's Xinjiang Uygar province. Its rare olivine crystals endured atmospheric and impact forces as it crashed down to Earth. Bonhams' Natural History Department director Thomas Lindgren said: "Less than 1% of all meteorites are pallasites, the most alluring of all meteorites due to their aesthetic appeal." Pallasites - meteorites composed of around 50% olivine and peridot crystals and 50% nickel-iron - are thought to be relics of forming planets. The Fukang meteorite will go under the hammer at Bonhams on April 30 in New York. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Samples
ble of ethically transmuting batches of meteorites ;-) There is no free lunch... and no one can make promises for something that hasn't been done. (Or can they?) This whole thing gets sticky, when, you buy meteorites from the literally same batch that another person has already classified. Sure: you may have the same material, but then again, just because the original buyer may not have demanded 100% error proffing during the classification and is selling some stones under the classification he got, doesn't make yours any more paired to the ones that were used for the typing work.

Sounds like good advice and the best so far. Thanks Tim - Original Message - From: "Göran Axelsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 1:48 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Samples There is a difference between what we should do and what we are able do. If I had 50 supposed martian meteorites up to 8 gram I would like to have a scientist look them over so nothing is lost for science. In this case I think there shouldn't be any problem to find a lab that wanted to take a look. Let the lab verify that all stones are martian or at least most probably martian if they match them visually and only test a few stones. If I had (which I do) 50 meteorites under 8 grams that looks like ordinary NWA weathered stones then I don't think I could find any lab that wanted to classify them even if I donated the whole lot. In a perfect world every meteorite should be classified, measured, positioned and registered but we can only do a limited amount of work and that should be done where we (science) get the most value. To classify more Mali, NWA 869 or Camel Donga is probably just a waste of money. Best of all is if dealers and collectors keep an eye out for strange stones among the ordinary ones. I don't remember exactly but I think someone had a scientist going over hundreds of kilos of NWA 869 to cherry-pick some interesting stones. Haven't heard any result though. Of course, the rules are only suggestions and no one is enforcing them. Some dealers classify their martian meteorites and some is selling them unclassified but still calls them martian. /Göran Timothy Heitz wrote: Doug, This is what I'm thinking.

Auctioneers Bonhams opened its New York City salesroom today (Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007) for a 53-lot sale which featured important examples of intergalactic collectibles. The sale brought $750,000, with more than half the lots selling above their high estimates and a strong sell-through rate (at 93%) overall. Meteorite expert Darryl Pitt sees the international interest in the sale as supportive of his assertion that the market is robust and rapidly growing, the most desirable objects seeing interest from private collectors and institutions alike. Claudia Florian, Natural History Specialist and organizer of the Bonhams sale, stated that she was delighted with the buoyant results -- which indicate the overall strength of the market. "The results were stronger than anticipated with a near-perfect result. We hope to conclude sales on the handful of unsold lots in the next several days." Top lot sold today was a specimen described as the epitome of an iron meteorite. It came to Earth during the largest meteorite shower in human history and was retrieved from Siberia, Russia. This Sikhote-Alin brought $122,750 (estimate $55/70,000). An interesting lot attracting competitive bids from privates and institutional curators is the only known mailbox to have been impacted by a meteorite. A grey-painted steel mailbox from Claxton, Georgia, near Atlanta, was struck in December of 1984. The dented mailbox sold for $82,750 on Sunday. A 5.5-gram slice of the meteorite that caused the damage to the mailbox sold for $7,768. A 23-gram slice of a meteorite which hit a car in Peekskill, NY was offered with pieces of the car, it sold for $1,673. -More- Meteorites and Bonhams Auction -2- A slice of a meteorite composed of gemstones sold for $82,750, this example of a pallasite, dubbed the Glorieta Mountain meteorite -- found in New Mexico -- displays a wonderful array of olivine crystals within its nickel-iron matrix. A slice of a meteorite formerly within a London museum sold for $77,000, the shape of the specimen is a baseball home plate, the complete mass displaying olive and peridot clusters. Aesthetic meteorites are extremely rare. Sculpture collectors have expressed interest in these specimens given their eye-pleasing forms. One of these, a Gibeon from Namibia, sold for $77,000. Another example, described as tabletop sculpture, sold for more than four times its estimate, bringing $26,888. The path to Earth is not without its perils, meteorites often disintegrate long before impact. Some examples land with thumb prints or regmaglypts and an example with a deep scoop, referred to as an extraterrestrial candy bowl (which weighs 68-pounds), doubled its estimate to bring $38,838. Bidders spanned the planet, with those in the auction room competing with bidders on the telephones from Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Australia, as well as many parts of the US.

Here my Tucson-Pic: "Check-Out after the Lang Auction" http://www.follow-me-now.de/assets/images/Metropolis-Aufstand.jpg (what about letting him arrive home first?). Martin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Norm Lehrman Gesendet: Samstag, 10. Februar 2007 05:49 An: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Betreff: [meteorite-list] Sharing a positive List, Just a brief note to temper recent topics. I made a deal a while back to trade for a tektite from a deep jungle location. My contact had never attempted an international shipment before, so I agreed to send my part of the trade first. Both of us were nervous whether it would make it through the mail. Finally, it did. Today I received the following: "Im very happy right now because the meteorite and meteoritic glasses have been arrived this saturday. I will send the tektite and some unknown material that chapadmalal-like material. Im in hurry to send the items to you this day.. Thanks 'cause made me happy! (name)" This note made me happy too, so I thought I'd pass it along. Newbies might wonder about some of the negative emotions visible on the list from time to time, but there's some heart-warming good stuff that more than makes up for it. Along that line, part of the fun of Tucson is shaking hands with people we "know" from the list but are meeting face to face for the first time. This is a very unique community! Thanks to all!
