Hello everyone. Just throwing this out there in case anyone is interested (that lives in or near Holbrook AZ). I’ll be working near and staying in Holbrook for most of this week, and I’ll have afternoons open to do some hunting. Let me know!

[meteorite-list] Holbrook
Hello Listers, I am considering selling my collection specimen of Holbrook. I have no idea of what something like this stone will sell for nor what to ask. The weight is 1037 grams. I am writing to ask members of the community for their ideas on the value of this specimen. It is a Foote Mineral Company specimen, nicely oriented and fresh. Please check out the pictures posted on my Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/edwin.thompson.758 PM me there or at: edwinthomp...@hotmail.com Thanks for your input.

I can't believe it's been nearly 5 years since I last hunted Holbrook.

[meteorite-list] Holbrook ground conditions?
I'm packing up to head down tto Tucson and I've been planning to stop in at Holbrook on the way and try to make my first (long-overdue) find. Has anyone been there recently and/or know if there''s any snow on the ground there? We had a couple inches here in southern Utah (6850'), but it's mostly melted now.

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook Study- Help
Hi Larry, To the best of my knowledge, Steve Shoner has found more Hollbrook material (both in number of specimens and in overall Weight) than any other living person. I could be wrong, but I doubt It. So, for sure he has massive quantities of finds. I would contact Him on any Hollbrook related issues.

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook for sale on Facebook
Great points Jason. I have a "Bouse" in my collection next to an 869, which has come to be a great conversation starter. The caution flag has certainly been raised and I think we've all been respectful of the "finder". For me there are too many great Holbrooks available to take the risk on this one. I'm curious to see other photos. Happy Friday!!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook for sale on Facebook
I agree with Jason, it doesn't look quite right. It's always hard to tell from photos, but if it looked this way in person, I would not have guessed Holbook. If someone cleans/shines them up, it can really change the look of them. I've found a lot Holbrook and seen a lot taken in the field, and I thought I knew them well. But I was surprised a few years ago at the difference, when I saw one cleaned with chapstick just hours after being found in front of many witnesses. I had to adjust my thinking (I've always left mine as found, dirt and all, and I'm glad I have). But even so, that doesn't really change the thickness of the crust. It just looks strange - it could be a Holbrook that's been handled a lot, like being carried in a pocket (???). Unless you really trust this person, I'd stay away, but that's just me (the seller could be on the up and up). Mark P.S nice finds Jim!

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook for sale on Facebook
Hello All, Texture's completely off. Newly found Holbrooks can be weathered. but always show a discrete layer of fusion crust that has not been mechanically altered much since 1912. Surface rust, yes. Places where it has chipped off, yes. Contraction cracks...usually. But, little abrasion -- certainly not extensive sand-blasting. The stone pictured has been desert-varnished to the point that it has "remnant-crust," or a layer of thin-to-non-existent fusion crust, which, as Mendy notes, is similar to the weathering seen on NWA's. If it's a Holbrook, it's a find from a unique area where the stone has weathered differently from...any other Holbrook I've ever seen. A real one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LARGE-11-4-gram-HOLBROOK-METEORITE-ABOUT-90-CRUSTED-/221144642054?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337d3f7206 Note the fine detail still present on the crust. And again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LARGE-18-6-gram-HOLBROOK-METEORITE-ABOUT-50-CRUSTED-/221144641606?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337d3f7046 Jim Steele is also offering "Buzzard Coulee, Ash Creek, Mifflin and Park Forest."

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook under the microscope...
Hello Jim, et al, Yes, I would recommend a microscope. There should be plenty of "inspection scopes" on the used surplus market. You might find a good one on eBay, but they show up in high tech swap meets if you have on in your area. Los Angeles and San Diego have them... How small is your tiny iron? Can you post a photo? With a microprobe you can analyze almost anything you can see in a compound microscope. It's only semi-destructive, since it drills an extremely small hole into the specimen. I wonder if your "iron" is from a separate fall, or perhaps an iron clast from Holbrook that broke up high in the atmosphere and became ablated and crusted on its way down? I don't think anything has changed as a result of anthill searches. I do think that it would be interesting to extend strewn field research towards millimeter and smaller residue from witnessed falls. After all, the fallout from the smoke trails must have come down somewhere, and unlike big fist-sized finds which are relatively rare, there should be gazillions of these tiny fragments and condensates. But this will take lots of soil samples and lots of effort (plus lots of probe time). Maybe I'll look into this...

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook under the microscope...
Hello Nick and all! Thank you for posting your pictures. I find the small Holbrooks fascinating. And, it really is pushing me to invest in a microscope. I found a little iron there this weekend. It's a beautiful nickel iron blue, and may be oriented. However, it's small enough to require a microscope to really look at it. There are three things it could be, possibly. A. Part of a mass that fell out along the way and burned in the atmosphere. B. A new find. C. Not meteoric at all. I am not sure anyone can test something that small, but honestly do not know how small one can test (not destructively) or have any interest in doing so??? In 1941, there was an article written, maybe by Nininger...can't remember, about three scientist finding the smallest meteorites and they used the ant hill technique at Holbrook. At that time, it was also mentioned it would change how science looked at meteorites, but has it? I think my finds can match their's and I think your finds can also match them. I know it's a challenge weighing them as they are so small. I can not breathe around my grain scale when measuring and it takes about 5 minutes per measurement to get the scale to stop oscillating! I think most of the finds have been small at Holbrook. If you would like a copy of the results page, or if anyone does, I have that to share. These are the totals for each persons finds for the day. Was good meeting you and talking with you. Hope you come back for the 100th! Best!

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook under the microscope...
Nick, Love the photos, that's really great resolution! I wouldn't say the average size of finds are falling. You can ask Anne Black, my dad and I always come back from a trip with three or four stones in the 3-7 gram range and every other time with a 10-12gram stone. here's a video of one of our hunts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx98yRvqK3E I would say it depends on the weather the week before you arrive and the weather while you are hunting.

[meteorite-list] Holbrook 99th anniversary Meteorite Hunt
Hi all, July 19, 2011 will mark the 99th anniversary of the Holbrook fall. In celebration of that monumental event I am considering leading a hunt to the Holbrook strewn field – of course this depends on how many are interested. I am considering one day on the weekend (not both) prior to the anniversary – either July 16th or 17th. I am aware that this close to July 4th weekend most people may be out of money but it's worth a try. Any and all are invited regardless of experience! If you are new to meteorite hunting then this is your chance to meet at least one professional meteorite hunter (who's found hundreds of Holbrook meteorites)and learn. If you are experienced and would like to come too, I would welcome the help, as there will likely be more beginners than advanced hunters. Typically when hunting the area I stay in the Motel 6 in Holbrook where rooms are usually very inexpensive ($40-$50 per night) Please contact me and let me know if you are interested in joining me. It would be great to have a large turn out. After all, I get 100’s of requests a year from people all over the country wanting to learn about meteorite hunting. Now is your chance!

I like that "Arizonaites" or Arizona Whatevers". Again they look like Columbianites and the really interesting thing is that Holbrook is quite a distance from Wilcox AZ. where I found all of mine.

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook tektites
great post and references! With the high heat and lack of water I have wondered if some melt glass may actually be the case for material from Mercury. And did Mercury form on its own or was it knocked off earth at the same time the moon was? If Mercury was once part of earth its isotopes from mantle material knocked off early in the formation of the solar system may test close to melted granite from earth.

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook Tektites ( HEAT TESTING of TEKTITES)
Brian, Tom, List, Libyan Desert glass is 98% pure silica, the purest naturally discovered glass on Earth. http://www.pisces-press.com/C-Nav/ldg.htm While one sees as examples are clear, gem-like LDG, many of the fragments found on the ground (and tossed aside as "dirty" or not pretty enough) are tabular and layered, clean, dirty, clean, dirty, like the Muong-Nong tektites found in Laos and Thailand. Boslough at Sandia has a airburst theory... naturally: http://www.sandia.gov/news/publications/technology/2006/0804/glass.html Most people think an impact origin. Too many references to cite. There are some completely dopey theories about LDG, too. I found this one to be worth a good laugh: http://www.b14643.de/Sahara/LDG/index.htm And there are some people still think tektites are volcanic: http://www.rasc.ca/journal/pdfs/2004-10.pdf Analysis of LDG can be found in Christian Koeberl, "A Meteorite Component in LDG". He finds excess cobalt, nickel, iridium: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/metsoc2000/pdf/5253.pdf Here's the actual earlier work by Koeberl, the full paper, with complete data: http://www.univie.ac.at/geochemistry/koeberl/publikation_list/132-Libyan-Desert-Glass-Proc-Bologna-Mtg-1997.pdf Anyone have an idea why there's a ten-fold excess of uranium in LDG? I'm sure that's spawned a few whacko websites! I quote from Koeberl "...none of the sands or sandstones ...are good candidates to be the sole precursors of LDG." Formation temperature has to be high enough to melt zircons, as they contain melted zircons (as many tektites do). Ever tried to melt a natural zircon? What is often missing from the discussions of the origins of the LDG is the fact that the Libyian-Egyptian Desert pf 28.5 million years ago was NOT a desert. It was swamps, vast lakes, bogs, and snaking bayous. What was not open water was wet and very densely forested between 24 and 32 million years ago. The "Sahara" to the west and south was grasslands and scattered forest. Yeah, I know. Doesn't look it, does it? But in the Oligocene Epoch it was more like the Amazon Basin on a smaller, dryer scale. It's a rich source (only source, actually) of fossils of early primate ancestors of apes and men. It seems to be where we learned to hang out in trees (literally), the black anaerobic crap underneath being something you didn't want to fall into. These wet basins were filled with hundreds of feet of sand blown in from the west as the Sahara began to dry out. This is the target geography that an impactor would have struck. The high silica content pretty much has to mean that LDG was made entirely from sand. The fact that LDG is not as "dry" as most tektites may come from the fact that the target soils were underwater some depth. Merely geusses, though. Is there a good book on tektites? No. The study of tektites drives people crazy, and crazy people do not write good books... O'Keefe's 1976 "Tektites and Their Origins" book was posted online for years but it's gone now. You can get a copy on Amazon for $200. (O'Keefe was the "O" of the "YORP Effect" or Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddock Effect). Other books by Heinan and Provenmire are hard to find.

This is not original thinking on my part as I have heard it proposed as one of the theories on LDG. Any thought on this?

Hi Brian, Carl et. al. Thanks for the interesting info and things to ponder. It certainly is a subject I need to learn more about, and now I have some tests I can try on the glass at Holbrook.

Temperature is KEY to observations. Brent was aware of our goals and took time to test various temperatures as well as using test pieces and had far more information than I am able to convey simply. Lets just say that Coefficient of Expansion, Coloration and other physical properties were also in question during our tests. Glass melts at a relatively LOW Temperature, about 485 Centigrade / 900 Degrees Fahrenheit ( Varies with the amount and types of Alloys in the glass ) Bolorsilicate ( Pyrex ) at about 820 Centigrade / 1,510 Degrees Fahrenheit Thailandites, Philippinite , Moldavite and Quartz Glass melt at about 1,665 Centigrade / 3,029 Degrees Fahrenheit Libyan Desert Glass - we took it up to 1,815 Centigrade / 3,300 Degrees Fahrenheit and it was tacky on the surface , BUT did not Melt, as my friend stated "it is laughing at us"... We are still looking for a hotter Hydrogen Flame Unit to see what the actual melting point is. Darwin Glass - I have yet to test it, I forgot to bring samples. Maybe soon... Obsidian explodes when heated quickly. SO - it is easy to eliminate an Obsidian as a Tektite , just by throwing alot of heat at it quickly. Glass and Borosilicate varies from Tektites , easily, by applying heat to samples of each set side by side, see what melts first .. Don't worry about destroying the Tektite , it will be safe since the glass will melt much sooner than any tektite, and if the Tektite melts at the same temperature as Glass ?? It was not a Tektite. Quartz Glass is rare and to find a piece while looking for Tektites is just to unlikely to ever happen. The reason Tektites can withstand such High Heat is that the impurities that allow Glass to melt at lower temperatures have been Burnt out of them already. MY THEORY: Thailandites, Philippinite and Darwin Glass have coloration from the residue left by these Burnt off elements. Heavily contaminated.

[meteorite-list] Holbrook Tektites ( Heat Testing of Tektites)
Hello Brian, Dennis, Mark, Carl and List, Brian wrote: "Obsidian explodes when heated quickly. So - it is easy to eliminate an Obsidian as a Tektite, just by throwing alot of heat at it quickly." In May or June 2000, our late Jim Kriegh put his new welding torch on an Apache Tear, and, ... ... it exploded! Jim once had a chemist friend heat one of the numerous "Arizonaites" he and Twink had collected (and that's probably what Carl is talking about in his post to the List: "Years ago I found what I thought was a strewnfield of tektites in Southern AZ") in an oven along with an Apache tear. The Apache Tear foamed as the water started coming out of it but the AZite (Jim once called them "Arizona whatevers" :-) showed no signs of water. The chemist friend then even raised the temperature another 500°F above what the Apache Tear started foaming and all the Arizonaite did was glow red. After cooling it looked the same as before. Twink told me that during another heating experiment, "one of their AZites turned bright red, fell into three pieces and then returned looking normal". 18 of these enigmatic "glasses" reside in my meteorite collection, and, yes, their coloration in transmitted light is that of so-called "Columbianites".

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook Tektites ( HEAT TESTING of TEKTITES)
Very well done Brian! Thanks for sharing your results. Your experience with the LDG, " Libyan Desert Glass - we took it up to 1,815 Centigrade / 3,300 Degrees Fahrenheit and it was tacky on the surface , BUT did not Melt" This made me wonder again what others think of the idea that LDG is a glass meteorite and not a glass created in the same manor as most tektites. This is not original thinking on my part as I have heard it proposed as one of the theories on LDG. Any thought on this? Some samples of LDG are shaped more like a meteorite than a tektite aside from the fact that they are glass! Tom In a message dated 8/27/2010 3:24:13 A.M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook Question
Hello, Mr. Blood... It's exit 294, 5 miles East of Holbrook "Sun Valley Exit South" big metro area. Ha! A small motel and a cattle auction. In a straight line South of the exit, along the railroad track, is the Southwest corner of the strewnfield. The old crossing area has been redone, with the newly laid one piece track. The signal lights have been moved, but still there. I was there when a crew was installing them. A couple of electricians asked me what I was doing and after telling them and giving them a quick meteorite talk, they found it hard to go back to work on the lights. Hope they work! Ha! After all the recent rains and flooding in this area, I plan on going there this weekend with the Grandsons. Have a wonderful Day!

[meteorite-list] Holbrook BAD LINKS
Hello Erik, Congratulations on your Easter Hunt at Holbrook. I really like the way you record your hunt. All of your images and videos are great. I particularly like your dad's video where (on the second day, Easter morning) he has returned to the same spot only to find that overnight the strong winds had uncovered, yet, another small Holbrook meteorite. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEFUusagJEQ> That video makes me realize that, should I go to Holbrook tomorrow and be lucky enough to make a find, it would more likely be a matter of me benefiting from an extra day of windy or rainy weather, and NOT a case of me "finding one that you missed". As your images show, this is not your first successful trip to Holbrook. And I'm sure you're returning to areas that the both of you have previously searched. Diminishing returns not withstanding, you and your dad are very savvy to recognize that there are [replenishing] processes at work at Holbrook that are still exhuming meteorites from that fall. Thanks for reporting that this classic locality is still "producing". (Makes me wonder what other known localities are getting replenished;-) [Bob V.] ------ [meteorite-list] Holbrook BAD LINKS Erik Fisler erikfwebb at msn.com Mon Apr 13 14:41:47 EDT 2009 I believe the reason is because every one thinks the field is hunted out. It's not hard work and rarely is hot. It's not off limits at all. Determination, concentration, and persistence will get you a Holbrook. To find only one half gram stone would be enormously rewarding.

[meteorite-list] Holbrook Easter Hunt (80.7g's)
This weekend my father and I hunted Holbrook for an Easter egg hunt. In fact, we actually saw the Easter Bunny. Highlights: I found 34 chondrites for a total of 69.7g's Photo:http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/phxerik/?action=view¤t=ErikTotal.jpg My dad found 10 chondrites for a total of 11.2g's Photo:http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/phxerik/?action=view¤t=DadTotal.jpg On the way up to Flagstaff we drove through an area that had recently received snow. Here is a video of this strange phenomena(strange to us desert rats). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73iGgfUyPUQ The weather at Holbrook Saturday was cold, cloudy, windy and occasionally, rainy/snowy. Despite the terrible weather we found 2 individuals within 20 feet of each other. My dad's find was a 3.2g individual with 85% crust and my find was an oriented shield with flow lines that was a 4.1g individual. We documented our double whammy in this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsppC_faMg8 An hour or so later I found 20.9g in quite a few fragments. The largest is 11.1g's. Here is the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_9d-phJDQY After finding an individual I called my dad over to view my find and while he was fondling the individual I noticed he had a small complete individual stuck to his magnet and he didn't even notice! Crazy! We hunted till about noon with great success and went back to the truck for a lunch break. Here is a video of our finds before lunch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx98yRvqK3E Sunday morning, right off the bat, my dad found one very nice complete individual and he video taped it insitu here in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEFUusagJEQ Along with our countless meteorites we also found several of the raw glass marbles that had been uncovered by the rain. I also found an old range rifle .32-40 round that someone had dropped a looonngg time ago. here are some of the photo's. http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/phxerik/?action=view¤t=Relics.jpg http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/phxerik/?action=view¤t=RawGlass.jpg http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/phxerik/?action=view¤t=32-40JPG.jpg We were blown away by the number of finds we made and how gorgeous they all were. The excitement was incredible. It took forever to clean and weigh each specimen and we are lucky to have made out with the number of find that we did. The strewn field is only 1 mile by half a mile but we walked for miles and miles in circles and covered almost the entire field! My feet are throbbing! Thank you Eric for the support! Also if anyone would like clearer footage than the crappy YouTube flash format, we have the original files that I can email to anyone, just email me at erikfw...@msn.com if interested. Enjoy!

Erick. Nate, Dean, Zaya, Bedrock Bob, etc., and List, A great big CONGRATS to all of you! There really is nothing like that "first moment of discovery", is there? It truly must be something primal.

Hello all, Ruben,it was a sweet hunt for sure! Ben and Erik are eagle eyed to say the least! They tore it up. Zaya and I found four, three were complete stones. They are smallbut we are very happy with them. They are our first Holbrook's! We had a blast, not to mention the great memories and new friendships formed.

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook Photos
Eric, Just like at Holbrook, they may be subject to the hoofs of cattle/horses. The ground at Holbrook is what preserved the meteorites that we find there today. With the grass at West Texas, the meteorites might not be churned up by wind, water, and cattle or be easy to spot. Plus more material fell at Holbrook allowing more pieces to have the chance to survive over time. In addition, some of the meteorites that fell at Holbrook penetrated as deep as 6 inches. [Erik] Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook Photos Eric Wichman Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:49:52 -0800 Very nice indeed! Great job Erik! I was thinking that since Holbrook was a relatively fresh meteorite (compared to say Franconia or GB and most NWA I've seen), it's amazing to see how much or little the fusion crust on some pieces weather away. Holbrook falling in 1912 and being on the ground not quite 100 years is a blink of an eye in geological time. The crust in in good shape and there's some patina and oxidation. I can imagine whatever is not destroyed of the West TX fall will look worse than Holbrook in 100 years due to the weather in Texas. Keep in mind that lots of land out there is not farmland but ranches and they don't get plowed or irrigated like cropland. Stones that are on the ranches, -as long as they stay ranches- should be relatively preserved right? Rainfall/Snowfall must also be considered but The only data I found said about 8 inches annually for the area. Not that we'll be around to see it but, what do you think West will look like in 100 Years?

The complete text is: Una pioggia di meteoriti. Su un paese dell'Arizona - ai confini del Messico - proprio durante il passaggio di una carovana, si è abbattuta improvvisamente una valanga di pietre provenienti nientemeno che dagli spazi siderali.

Re: [meteorite-list] Holbrook followup
As a matter of brief correction, I have an original copy of the newspaper was sent to Dr. Svend Buhl to turn into the prints. Svend did a wonderful job touching up the age spots on the ~60 year old paper and printed them onto nice card stock, of which a have several copies as payment for letting him use it. I gave Michael the OK to use the image off my site as he sees fit but I suspect it is a matter of public record, credit should go to Svend as well for the remastering work. Interesting subject as to who owns the artwork. IF Matteo is out there with the original that would answer that.
