[meteorite-list] Allan Hills meteorite strand field
Hi, Talking of rock stars... This site has some great photos of the geology of the Ross Sea area and a page on meteorites in the Antarctic. Most of the fantastic photos on the site were taken back in the 1950's. http://www.rosssea.info/meteorites.html The author details how his party discovered the Allan Hills meteorite field 25 years before it was realized it WAS a meteorite field...ALH840001 would have to wait a little longer to be found. As we walked over the icefield we saw scattered about reddish, rusty and burnt looking volcanic cobbles some up 8 or 9 inches across. I banged at them idly wondering how they could be there. They were too big to have blown there and there was no rock outcrop further west. Decided they must have been brought up from deeper down by glacial shear and by ablation (which they undoubtedly had been) we left them as being worthless erratics and carried on. If you are interested in geology you will enjoy this site.

[meteorite-list] Harvey Awards - New Category
YES from Pomona in Australia, good idea Greg. Finding a meteorite like the new Brenham main mass probably represents the dreams of a majority of the list members. How about Keeping the Dream Alive as a category? (borrowed from a gravelly voiced radio personality here in Aus, don't know where he got the idea from) Truly is a remarkable achievement. Chris Sharp Greg Hupe écrivîmes.. - Dear List Members, A month or two ago I posted to the list that I felt that Steve Arnold - IMB and Phil Mani should be nominated for a Harvey Award for their Huge Brenham Main Mass discovery and also Geoff Notkin for his tireless work on behalf of the Hurricane Katrina Fund Raiser among other too-numerous to list meteorite-related activities. I know that Geoff and Steve originally set up the Harvey Awards where they could not nominate themselves for an award. I would like all list members to join me here on the list to nominate these fine gentleman for a Harvey Award an encourage them to make a new category where they could receive an award if enough of us voted YES to this. Maybe they could create a People's Choice award or something along these lines. Everyone in favor, send the list a resounding YES and lets acknowledge their contributions and achievements in public. Consider this my YES vote...
