[meteorite-list] AD - Paper Thin NWA 6355 (ALUN) Slice - Apollo 16
Good Evening... I would like to make a fine offering this evening. I have available a paper-thin (1mm) slice of NWA 6355 (you know... the one with very close chemical resemblance to Apollo 16 samples ; ) The slice weighs in at 0.665g, with its individual matrix consisting of a large transparent crystal (accounting for nearly 1/4 of its surface area. You will not find another one like it), and a few tiny pinhole vesicles that go completely through its thickness. Needles to day, this one is a stunner under the scope. $399 brings it home to one lucky buyer. Postage is one me, and the original dealer specimen card goes in the box with it. Photos furnished upon request. Happy Holidays.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question for dealers re: displaying sold items
I should have noted that although I am not a "dealer" per say, my website still needs quite an update/redesign, ect. regardless. Dealers who did not produce their own website most likely don't have the capability to update it each time a specimen sells. Furthermore, each individual update made costs money, paid to the individual or company hired out to maintain the website for them.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sonic Boom
Hello Sonny and Listmembers, Interesting. Perhaps the sound waves travel around the epicenter (anything located directly beneath) as they move towards the ground. I imagine circular rings moving expanding in an outward direction as they travel to the Earths surface. The higher the altitude of breakup, the larger the rings will be when they "touch down"... and the further away one must be from the center to actually hear the sonic booms. This is just a guess. Anyone with more knowledge care to elaborate on this hypothesis?

Re: [meteorite-list] Video of OK fireball
Good Afternoon Rob and Listmembers, There are several videos of this fireball. However, what I really wanted to see was that signature bright flash (or flashes) towards the end of it's "bright flight", which it clearly doesn't show. Also, I haven't heard any serious reports of sonic booms being heard. One or both of these features would have had every serious meteorite hunter flocking to OK for a weekend hunt. Regardless, here is my favorite video. I find it kinda funny that the 'Meteor'ologist didn't even notice the fireball approaching in the background! http://www.newson6.com/Global/story.asp?S=14318734 All the best, Ryan Rob Matson wrote: > Hi Stuart, > > You mean "multiple" videos.

A couple reports state that it "Streaked to the ground". A couple more stated it lasted about 3 seconds...a rather short period for a meteorite dropping meteor. Some reports are at 5 to 10 seconds. As an experienced meteor observer, I know for a fact that for most casual meteor sightings, duration times are notoriously longer than they really are. No serious reports about sonic booms also. This all sounds more like a fragile cometary object to me. They aren't known as meteorite droppers. As for the green color being reported, I wouldn't give that any meaning for the case of dropped meteorites or not. At the cost of gas nowadays, I wouldn't waste any time driving out to any proposed landing sites unless I just happened to live in the area.

Hello Ted, Yes, I learned about the theory of our Moons formation in.. what was it.. fifth grade, I believe. (??) So does that make every other moon in our galaxy a "planetary body" also?

Satellite is an ugly term and there are a lot of moons. So, to include our moon in the planetary fold seems reasonable, at least for meteorite people. Besides, the mostly accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it came from the Earth via impact and accretion of debris, so the Moon is a viable planetary body in its own right.

To the list, I was sitting here reading some emails, and just thought... Who in the world ever came up with the term "Planetary" in reference to meteorites. First of all, our Moon isn't a planet.. and secondly, to my knowledge, the only "Planetary" meteorites in current existence have an origin of Mars. Hence, "Martian" meteorites.

Re: [meteorite-list] "Great News" to eBay sellers.
There is probably a reason for this. I have seen sellers listing multiple items using "Buy It Now" for, say, $.99 .. and then charging $50 for shipping. That way the final value fees for the seller are greatly reduced. So, I guess eBay got fed up with these loop-hole tactics, as if eBay/Paypal Inc. doesn't make enough annual revenue anyhow. So.. sellers, especially those that charge actual shipping and ship heavy items, will suffer the most as a result of this policy change.

Good points Adam, Ebay/paypal gets sellers coming and going. Between listing fees and final value fees, not to mention paypal fees, its getting harder and harder for sellers to keep a decent margin for themselves without driving their prices too high to compensate. Now ebay wants to assess final value fees to include shipping on top of sold item? What the heck!!!?? Shipping has absolutely NOTHING to do with ebay!

Re: [meteorite-list] "Great News" to eBay sellers.
For those of you that sell on feeBay. Take alook at this "great news" to take affect on April 19th. This first paragraph seems too good to be true... but then look at the second paragraph - the final value fee will now be applied to shipping fees also! So basically, if you have to ship a large, heavy item.. eBay will charge you extra for it, even though shipping is done third party by the seller. What a load of Ryan "We're writing with some great news: Starting April 19, you'll be able to list your items Auction-style FREE, at any start price, up to 50 listings a month. Plus you can add the Buy It Now option to these listings FREE to grab buyers in a hurry. Set the price you want and sell it fast! This is not a limited-time special but a change in eBay Standard fees to help you list more for FREE all the time?even those high ticket items! Pay only if your item sells. Also, because we know buyers take into consideration the total cost of an item, also starting April 19, to encourage sellers to keep shipping costs low, the Final Value Fee will be applied to the total amount of the sale, INCLUDING SHIPPING." __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

There's a reason they call themselves "The Tea Party," because it sounds nicer than RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, LOW WAGE REPUBLICANS! I understand you were making a comment towards that Sheppard character, and the crap he was spewing out to scare the viewers into running towards their bunkers that glen becKKK has told them to build. Here's hoping you find a station that has real News, not one that they give talking points on every morning and are asked to follow and preach the gospel of ignorance. Don't everyone get your feathers ruffled just because I don't like that station or their beliefs. It's a free country and I'm entitled to my free speech. I'm just making a point and thanking the Count for his update. Thanks again for the update and I always appreciate and look forward to your posts. Now I'll have to watch a little TV and hope for happier news.. All my best!

Re: [meteorite-list] A fundamental tone
Guys and Girls, The list would (..and hopefully will) continue to remain a much calmer and peaceful environment, provided that politics and religion, or another persons health or legal issues, aren't discussed or even mentioned without said persons consent to do so. Specifically, in regards to politics, for the life of me, I do not understand why some list members feel the need to voice their opinions regarding such on a list that is specifically intended to discuss METEORITES, and all the nifty things that are associated with them. People have, and always will, carry strong views and beliefs, and it is best to keep those things off of this forum. As long as we don't sway from that one thing that each of us holds dear to our hearts, there will be no problems. With that said, I think Mike deserves a second chance. Just because you get thrown out of the bar once doesn't mean that you're banned for life. Come back!... One year!!

There was a perfect rectangle dug several feet deep out in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps some gangster dug it to make a point when Vegas was under mob control. We continue to check it from time-to-time to make sure it isn't buried over. Caches of old casino chips have been stashed in secret places throughout the desert. We were shown one location where tokens numbered in the thousands with several rare ones. They were coming out of concrete, put there in an unsuccessful effort to destroy them. It looked like fossil negatives where they fell out. A four hour hike from our house will take you to a very old aircraft wreck. A short hike will take you to petroglypts and a water fall. I once found a dead turtle with a transmitter hooked to its back. This was while hiking with Sonny and Rob. We stumbled onto a hidden dwelling surrounded by bushes with no power or utilities and a sign that said keep the F--- OUT. We took it seriously and backed out of there slowly. We figured it was somebody growing product or the kind of lab that one would not want to deal with. We found a stolen SUV hidden in a canyon and reported its GPS coordinates to the police. One time, I was startled by a dog running up to me in the middle of nowhere with six pack of beer strapped around its neck. I then met the toothless owner who told me not to be afraid because "Buddy" or "Bud" for short doesn't bite very hard or all that often. He then drank one of the beers and offered me one. I think I was more afraid of the owner than the dog.

Re: [meteorite-list] WisconsinSchool project - Suggestion
..and I second that notion. Altough I strongly disagree that the price of the new WI material, especially individual stones, will come down considerably over time. The number of stones recovered so far doesn't even come close to that of Buzzard Coulee, or even Ash Creek for that matter. Which also explains why there have been no offers of whole stones for the school project. There simply aren't enough of them to meet the demand... and there never will be.

It is actually foolish to use donated funds -- at this time -- to purchase stones from the latest Wisconsin fall. Very little bang for the buck. For the same money, you could buy an NWA chondrite over 100 times larger that is nearly as fresh-looking. I think a far better use for the limited funds would be a modest variety of medium-sized, relatively inexpensive meteorites. For the cost of one tiny, unimpressive specimen from the lastest Wisconsin fall, you could instead purchase and donate a large iron, a pallasite or mesosiderite, an ordinary chondrite *AND* an achondrite. --Rob -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of impact...@aol.com Sent: Friday, May 21, 2010 2:17 PM To: mlbl...@cox.net Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] WisconsinSchool project - Suggestion Michael, If I may make a suggestion... Lets think about Meteorites in general, rather than just one Wisconsin meteorite. Since you now have about $750.00, buy an assortment of reasonably priced, classified, known meteorites. Maybe a Canyon Diablo, a small Brenham, a couple stonies with different classification. No crumbs, large enough pieces so they can see what a metorite looks like, and how many different types there are. That would lead to a much better understanding of meteorites, than just one small stone. If you decided to do that, I am quite sure you would find more offers and more help. In fact, I would be willing to help you with donations. And if you really insist on getting them a piece of the Wisconsin stone, then I suggest you wait 6 months to a year, when more stones have been found, and the price has gone down. As it always does with new falls, particularly when it is an ordinary chondrite; look at Buzzard Coulee: $40/g during the Tucson Show, $10/g now. What do you think? Anne M.

If you've hunted the WI meteorite fall, and have data you'd like to share, please send me an email with your hunting information/statistics. Primarily what I'm looking for is totals, hours hunted, days hunted, meteorites found, and costs associated with this hunt. I'd like to do this while WI is fresh in everyone's minds and I think that will provide the most reliable information, and also give some an idea of the costs in time and money that go into recovering meteorites from the field. Please send in the following format to make it easier to add all totals. If you can think of any other data that should be included in this list, please feel free to respond on-list so others can add their input. I will be including all my totals as well in this data. Total Days In The Field: Total Hours Hunted Per Day: Total Miles Walked Per Day: Total Costs: (including airfare, hotel, rental car, food, fuel, cost of meteorites purchased, miscellaneous expenses; i.e. "pay to hunt" expenses) This need not be itemized, and can be a total cost for your hunt... Total Number of Meteorites Found: Total Weight Found: This survey is completely anonymous, and your identity will be kept confidential, all you need send is totals/numbers. In addition, those of you who'd like to share coordinates that would also be appreciated, again, your anonymity will be kept unless you state specifically that you wouldn't mind releasing your identity publicly in association with your data.

Re: [meteorite-list] Wisconsin vs Tamdakht and other NWA falls
.. I just realized after sending my previous email that I had once again gotten the Hupe brothers mixed up. My sincere apologies.

The very best you can do is follow trends. In the case of new falls, hype will increase prices only temporarily then they tend to plunge dramatically. I stopped trying to figure out the hammer stone thing a long time ago. I can not figure out why, New Orleans which penetrated a house top to bottom only sells for between $25.00 to $40.00/gram when there was only a single stone in which very little was released. Claxton which weighs much less than Peekskill and hit a smaller target is currently selling for less than this new fall which is just an ordinary although beautiful chondrite. Completely crusted Pultusk peas only sell for about $40.00/gram at most and offer significant historical value. Although Moroccan meteorite falls sell for much less, they are none the less rare. I have done much better investing in Moroccan falls than North American falls, neither of which I invest in anymore. I no longer chase falls and haven't for years. These days, I usually pick up a single specimen of each for my collection after the hype has died down. I have lost money on nearly every recent fall I have ever invested in by jumping in too soon. I learned the hard way. I find it much more enjoyable pursuing cold finds with hopes of nailing down the first North American Lunar. I guess if a fall were to hit here in Nevada, I might chase some of it down but would get out before things turned ugly. A lot of Nevadans love their guns and it is not uncommon at all to run into people in the field wearing them on the the hip, cocked and ready to rock. I hear people shooting off guns in the desert all of the time here in Laughlin, Nevada. Even the local preacher can be found plinking cans out in the desert a few blocks from my house. Luckily everybody I have run into out in the field here has been friendly so far. I think this would change if they ever felt they were being ripped off. I am surpised with all this talk of big money and meteorites, nobody has been shot yet although I have heard of a few close calls. The dollar cost averaging statement that was recently made makes no sense at all to me. When did meteorites become commodities? Dollar cost averaging down doesn't seem like a sound investment. From a collector's standpoint, I think showing some restraint and waiting is a better move than paying when the hype is maximum. If you think of meteorites as mere commodities, you are missing the real value. Sometimes, things are worth more than just the price tag somebody has arbitrarily attached to them and I am not talking about monetary value.

Re: [meteorite-list] Wisconsin vs Tamdakht and other NWA falls
Hello Adam, I'm not sure that I understand when you say that you "no longer chase falls and haven't for years." Weren't you here in WI chasing down Livingston a week or so ago? Please don't take offence, as that is not my intention. Just wondering.
