Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[tracy latimer via Meteorite-list]

Not to mention there is enough iron in our lava that using a metal detector 
(unless you are very good at calibration) is yet another exercise in futility.  
Unless you have evidence of where it landed, meteorite hunting in HI is hard.  
And the Palolo Valley fall disappeared from Bishop Museum!

Best!

[Gary Fujihara via Meteorite-list]

Aloha metlist denizens,

There are only two Hawaii meteorites. 1825 Honolulu and 1949 Palolo Valley. 
Meteorite hunting in Hawaii, particularly the Big Island can be an exercise in 
frustration because you are looking for little black rocks on an island made up 
of … big black rocks. lol

I think weʻre overdue for a fall. ;^)

Hmm... only 27 items here in Utah. And one of those is an impact crater.
I suspect there are a lot more finds out there, waiting to be found.
Especially here in the south... and in the west desert.

Hello Listers

Have you heard of the saying "Don't mess with Texas"

305 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Texas"

I count 225 New Mexico meteorites in the MetBull. That is 0.00185
meteorites per square mile.

If Kansas has 143 meteorites, then that is 0.00174 meteorites per square 
mile.


I think that puts the Land of Enchantment as the #1 meteorite state :) :)

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[J Sinclair via Meteorite-list]

Since the discussion is on State Rocks... Here's mine.
Not exactly meteorite related but Astronauts are mentioned.

"North Carolina designated granite ("the noble rock") as the official
state rock in 1979. High quality North Carolina granite is used as a
building material for both industrial and laboratory applications
where super-smooth surfaces are required.

North Carolina has an abundance of granite. When Robert Gilmer found
the “big white rock” on his newly purchased farm in Surry County in
1849, he was so angry that he insisted the seller reimburse part of
his money.

“The Rock” (as it’s known locally) became one of the first commercial
natural stone businesses in North Carolina and is now Mount Airy White
Granite Quarry, the largest open-face granite quarry in the world
(astronauts circling the earth can see it from space). Granite from
this quarry is gleaming, unblemished, and without seams to mar its
splendor."

The North Carolina State Gemstone is Emerald
Although rare and found in just a few locations, Our Emeralds can be
quite beautiful. It was a NC Emerald crystal that was featured on the
2008 Tucson Show poster when USA minerals were the feature at the main
show that year. The Houston Museum acquired that specimen. It's value
at that time was over $900,000.00

The North Carolina State Mineral is Gold
The first USA "Gold Rush' was in NC and started in 1799 when gold was
discovered here. The Bechtler brothers produced the first gold coins
in the new world with gold from NC. The Charlotte Mint opened in 1835
to mint gold coins with the gold found here.

http://goldfever.unctv.org/bechtler
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Gold_Rush

That's all for me on the subject of earth rocks for now.

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Shawn Alan via Meteorite-list]

Hello Listers

Have you heard of the saying "Don't mess with Texas" 

305 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Texas"

And these meteorite finds/Falls come from different localities

Re: [meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

I know of several dozen Nevada meteorites that have not been reported even 
though a few were found on private property.  It seems that most are not 
willing to report their finds these days especially since the BLM is trying 
to overregulate meteorites and public lands.  Remember, nothing found on 
public land can be used for commercial purposes without an unattainable 
permit.

I count 225 New Mexico meteorites in the MetBull. That is 0.00185
meteorites per square mile.

If Kansas has 143 meteorites, then that is 0.00174 meteorites per square 
mile.


I think that puts the Land of Enchantment as the #1 meteorite state :) :)

Hello Listers

I agree Brenham is be the best suited state meteorite Michael.
If NY was doing this, it would have to be Peekskill to be the state
rock.

Mendy I think the teacher was going off the info from  Meteoritical
Bulletin Database

Here are the results I gathered from there.

116 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Nevada"

130 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places
that are exactly "Arizona"

143 records found for valid meteorites from United States with places

Michael, you are 100% correct. When I did the search on the MetBull, I
must have set the search up incorrectly and it showed both Arkansas

Why would Cabin Creek be a better choice? It is from Arkansas. 
Brenham, definitely

I'm just probably a "meanie", but I think this effort is misguided
though certainly better than making the state rock "limestone". The
children calculated that somehow, Kansas has more meteorites per
square mile (not sure if finds, falls, or hits) than anywhere else in
the US (if finds then sorry Arizona and Nevada). I am happy to see
that calculations were done though disappointed that their teacher did
not better guide their efforts. Finally, the picture in the article is
clearly of a beautiful Sikhote Alin. I wonder how well that will go
over with the state legislators. Maybe Cabin Creek would have been a
better choice. :-)

[meteorite-list] Middle school students lobbying Kansas lawmakers to declare official state rock

[Shawn Alan via Meteorite-list]

Hello Listers

I hope it passes be cool for Kansas have a meteorite for a state rock :)

SHAWNEE, Kan. – A group of local middle school students are lobbying
to change state history. The students with Monticello Trails Middle
School, which is part of the De Soto School District, are headed to
Topeka to argue for an official state rock.

Chris Sprenger, an 8th grade student at the school, is determined to
make the meteorite the official Kansas state rock.

“The meteorite really has a connection with Kansas that it really
doesn’t have with any of the other states in the U.S.,” Sprenger
said.

Sprenger and more than 100 other students in the district pitched the
bill to Representative Brett Hildabrand.

Lobbying for a state rock has challenged the students across the board.
In social studies they’ve learned how bills are passed, in science
they’ve learned about geology and rocks and in communication arts
they’ve spent hours working on their proposal essays.
