Darryl and List:
There’s a great “Outer Limit” episode (original series) called “THE INHERITORS”
in two parts so it’s two hours long. It is one of the best of the series and I
highly recommend it.
Don’t forget Stephen Kings “CREEPSHOW” a farmer finds a meteorite and goes
insane. I think even Mr. King himself play the role in the movie.

Hi Everyone,
I'm attempting to create a comprehensive list of pop cultural
references in recent years in which meteorites appear in a supporting
or lead role. I'm primarily looking at works of fiction but
scientific references of the pop cultural ilk will be similarly
welcome. Looking for films, TV, books, etc.
Any input would be much appreciated.

Re: [meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE
Hello Darryl, I hope you will include a strongly worded disclaimer stating that any information about meteorites found in that Pop culture is the result of overactive imagination, not facts. Meteorites do not glow in the dark, ooze some dark goo, make weird sounds, or cause insanity (well we could argue that one), they are not radioactive, and do not cause fires. There is already plenty of misinformation out there, lets not add to it. Thanks. And have a great weekend without snow! Anne M.

Hiya I would like to thank contributors for their input on my query of meteorites in pop culture. Very helpful. Thank you! I hope you realize the increased frequency of meteorite hits in pop cultural references is not just due to the meteorites themselves, but due, in part, to the passion and efforts of everyone on this list -- and that's so cool.

[meteorite-list] Question re asteroids' near-earth encounters
So on the surfaces of these rubble piles, rocks are shaken and turned over, to reveal a fresh, unweathered surface underneath. Question: Is it possible when these rubble piles (asteroids) are shaken by the near-earth encounter that dust/debris could escape from the asteroid and fall eventually to earth? __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Question Regarding Lunar's
Dave, Not to beat a dead horse but please take note when you watch the video that. The red of shorty Crater is only exposed because it was hit by a meteorite and excavated a crater. Similarly, if the other 40 spots found with this red material also were exposed by meteorite hits. Does that not up the odds that much of this red stuff got air bourne? And then landed on Earth? My theory is that all of this red material in beneath the surface and only now do we realize this. All of the spots the Japanese probe points out that are red also happen to be in the shape of a crater. This further adds to the theory. It now seems clear that this red stuff originated on the moon after all. Maybe? See you in Tucson. Carl -- Carl or Debbie Esparza Meteoritemax Dave Mouat dave.mo...@dri.edu wrote: Hi Carl And thanks for the reply. The observations that there is red material on the moon is very important. However, the % of the moon's surface that has red material is almost infinitessimal. It is very possible that the Oman lunaites indeed come from that lunar red matter but far more likely that it is terrestrial weathering. One of the listees mentioned hematite staining. That is also possible, but it is more likely that Fe minerals in the parent rock have weathered in situ. Possibly see you in Tucson. Dave cdtuc...@cox.net wrote: Dave, Okay .

Thanks Everyone: I really appreciate the detailed responses. That's what I suspected. Perhaps the soils in Oman contain more iron based sediment, and the strewn fields there are older. I always assumed that the iron within meteorites caused the oxidation, but now it's clear that once any rock (meteorite) falls to earth, it can be altered in the same ways (weathering, erosion, oxidation and surface staining) terrestrial rocks are subjected too.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question
Oops, misspelled. That should be Maximilian. Here is an excerpt from MAPS 42, Nr 9 supplement B3-B68: The 280-pound stone that fell at Ensisheim on November 7, 1492 is the only one in Chladni's pre-eighteenth-century lit of which specimens are preserved today. This stone quickly became famous because it caught the attention of a king - Maximilian (1459-1519), the Roman King, who was heir apparent to the Holy Roman Emperor, Friedrich III. Maximilian was leading his army toward Ensisheim, a Free Imperial City of the Hapsburgs, on his way to battle the French. On his arrival, he sent for the stone and asked his advisors what it meant. After solemn reflections, they told him, as clever advisors have done throughout history, that the stone was a pledge of God's favor to him. Greatly pleased, Maximilian returned the stone to the citizens of Ensisheim with orders to preserve it in their church as a memorial of this great, miraculous event. gary On Jan 4, 2010, at 5:46 AM, Pete Shugar wrote: Quick-- Who was the king at Ensisheim?

Re: [meteorite-list] Question
Hi Pete, For more details on Maximilian 1st, see here: http://www.luminarium.org/encyclopedia/emperormaximilian.htm The episode of his venue to Ensisheim to inquire about the famous stone that fell from the skies is not mentioned, probably considered as a detail in regard with all the other (more important ?) emperor's achievements. But what Gary had summarized in one of his replies is correct. This being, if your question is related to the King of the last Ensisheim meteorite show (June 2009), it must beeither Alain Carion (who received the Golden Meteorite medal for his life achievements related to meteorites) or...Perhaps the dino who is watching him from behind. See the site of Hanno Strufe, page 1, picture 8, here: http://www.strufe.net/0334af9a5a0cf8e1d/0334af9c3213d0302/0334af9c3213de407/index.php BTW the next show edition (11th in a row) is scheduled June 19 and 20, 2010 (this to answer regular off list questions asking for the next show dates) Happy New Year to everybody! I wish you all to hear one day some strange noise (whiiizzz + booomm) and then to find some strange hot and smelly piece of ugly rock in your back yard. But if you don't, keep faith! Or, at least, never loose your meteorite passion! This will keep you happy and in good health, something that is always implicit in the New Year wishes...

[meteorite-list] Question regarding Vaca Muerta Strewnfield
Hello Felipe and List, Your online coordinates online for Vaca Muerta (25° 45' S / 70° 30' W) look good because there is an article in Meteoritics [PEDERSEN H. et al. (1992) Vaca Muerta mesosiderite strewnfield (Meteoritics 27-2, 1992, 126-135)] and on page 128 the authors write: In Table 1 and Fig. 2, we give the (x,y) coordinates of each mass relative to the most distant large mass, VM 5 (= 557 kg), which is at 25° 50' S, 70° 23' W. Using the method of least squares (minimizing orthogonal distance) and giving equal weight to each of the 80 masses, we have determined the azimuth of the strewnfield to be 109° East of north. The fall zone is 700-800 m above sea level.

Re: [meteorite-list] question on using a macro flash ring for photgraphing meteorites
Hi Glenn, others, You may try working with full spectrum daylight lamps. They emit a spectrum very similar to natural sunlight. By using two, or even better three lamps, you will be able to avoid hard cast shadows. In combination with dimmers you may simulate every daylight situation experienced outdoors.Anything starting from 20W will serve your purpose. The color spectrum your camera reproduces will be very close to what the human eye perceives under daylight conditions. I've been achieving acceptable results with a set of four daylight lamps and wouldn't want to miss them: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/Meteoritensammlung.htm Cheers Svend www.meteorite-recon.com Glenn Skinner lostbow...@gmail.com hat am 13.

When I blasted these interior surfaces I got the same dark grey color. Interestingly, the sanding did not remove metal, and flow lines were revealed. Deciding that this abrasive removal was acceptable, I took a 600 gr. rusted Campo and tried stainles steel wire brushing with a hand held Dremel tool.

Re: [meteorite-list] question on cleaning irons
Hello Guido, All, Regardless of how well you cleaned your Nantan, whatever you found under the surface was not flow lines. The material you removed from the surface of your iron was a good portion of the exterior of the meteorite itself; you were likely centimeters below the original surface of the iron. Some Campos still have fusion crust, though it is very uncommon. At least many of them haven't been corroded badly enough to drastically alter their morphology. Nantans have been so weathered that there's not much of a trace of their original surface shape remaining, to say nothing of fusion crust.

Hi Jason and List, I concur with Jason here about flowlines on a Nantan. Oxidation/weathering is a replacement process - any oxide rind that is on the specimen is representative of lost mass and surface area. Since flowlines reside in the outer millimeter or so of the crust, any such flowlines on a Nantan (or similar iron) would have been eradicated by mother nature long ago. No amount of mechanical or chemical cleaning will restore that lost mass. But I do agree that a vigorous mechanical cleaning will yield pleasing results with almost any ugly corroded iron. :) Best regards and clear skies, MikeG On 9/27/09, Jason Utas meteorite...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Guido, All, Regardless of how well you cleaned your Nantan, whatever you found under the surface was not flow lines. The material you removed from the surface of your iron was a good portion of the exterior of the meteorite itself; you were likely centimeters below the original surface of the iron. Some Campos still have fusion crust, though it is very uncommon. At least many of them haven't been corroded badly enough to drastically alter their morphology. Nantans have been so weathered that there's not much of a trace of their original surface shape remaining, to say nothing of fusion crust.

I have a big ugly Nantan of about 2000 gr. that was covered in concretions and rust. I ended up high pressure sandblasting it and ended up with a very even grey patination.

Interestingly, the sanding did not remove metal, and flow lines were revealed. Deciding that this abrasive removal was acceptable, I took a 600 gr. rusted Campo and tried stainles steel wire brushing with a hand held Dremel tool.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question
Dear List Members, I have had a lot of time to ponder what some of these Antarctic planetary pieces would go for. My guess is that they would start out real high and then become less and less as the market reaches saturation. It would take less than 300 grams of any Martian meteorite to satisfy the collector market short-term. The Antarctic pieces would be no different if the pieces became suddenly available. If all of ALH84001 was available, my guess would be that it would start out at around $50,000/gram and then be less than $5,000/gram within a year due to the weight of the piece. It would only hold the $5,000/gram price due to the claims and studies regarding this famous stone. No meteorite in the world will hold a price of over $50,000/gram for very long if more than 300 grams is available. The Antarctic Lunaites would start out a lower price than ALH84001 but would hold prices long-term because there are a lot of buyers of moon rocks who are not necessarily interested in meteorites. In other words, Lunaites reach into several markets while most meteorites are incorporated only into advanced mineral collections or institutions. Almost everybody can relate to rocks from the Moon due to it being our closet celestial neighbor and the massive NASA Apollo undertakings, considered the most important achievement in history by a great deal of the world's population. You have heard the term, I would give her the moon if I could Now, mere mortals can own a piece of the Moon and Mars too. If the Antarctic pieces become suddenly available, they would quickly lose a lot of their mystique and become similarly priced. Meteorites do not care where they land and when it comes to planetary pieces, the market seems to care very little where they were found so long as they were legally exported. On another subject, it is my belief that a North American lunar meteorite will be found soon. The only thing that could top this would be if a meteorite from the Moon was witnessed as a fall! We can only dream, Best Regards, Adam --- On Fri, 8/21/09, Greg Stanley stanleygr...@hotmail.com wrote: From: Greg Stanley stanleygr...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Question To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Friday, August 21, 2009, 9:23 AM Thanks everyone, I found this very interesting.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question
Easy... Chassigny! Since I started collecting about 8 years or so ago the price has remained steady at ~$30,000/g. BUT... that's because it's only ever available as a few milligrams here and there. Lodran is a very similar one. Around $25,000-$30,000/g steady too. A number of others have sold for more on occasions for a few milligrams but those prices never hold-up over time. The old, low TKW namesakes will win every time.

Hi Greg, I'll take a stab at this one. The most expensive meteorite I have bought was Sylacauga. A 1mg Bessey Speck cost me $100. That is a staggering $100,000.00 a gram.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question
Calcalong and Governador Valadares are good candidates. I would suggest Chassigny. Not so much because it is a Martian but because it is a Fall, almost 2 centuries old, a small meteorite, namesake of a whole class of meteorites, and so far the only named meteorite in this tiny class. Angra do Reis is another candidate, for similar reasons. And then you have many meteorites who are entirely in Museums or Institutions, and not available, no matter the ammount of money. Cabin Creek in Vienna, Goose Lake in The Smithsonian, are but 2 examples. I am sure there are many more examples. Anybody cares to think up of some more of those un-obtainable meteorites? Anne M.
