Re: [meteorite-list] tatahouine
Elton, A few things, 1) This issue is essentially identical to a similar situation from about a year ago in which a list-member publicly 'called out' another member on supposed illegal things they'd done. Regardless of the court's verdict, the person who publicly posted the libel (yes, "libel," because Chicago Steve has not been determined to be guilty of anything) was banned from the list. In my opinion, you deserve the same treatment. You are publicly accusing Steve of illegal and potentially damaging things without a shred of proof. That is libel, and this list should not serve as a means for your illegal dissemination of unfounded, damaging accusations. If this list is 'fair,' you should be banned. 2) The issue that you have brought to light in no way has any bearing on Steve's dealings in meteorites. I know for a fact that taxes are not paid on many dealer and collector transactions because both cash and rocks trade hands undeclared. Since I don't see you decrying such actions as defrauding the government, and since the money saved in such transactions goes back into the dealers' pockets and is converted into new inventory, I can only assume that you're singling out Steve here again, just like good ole' times, because you've got the same cactus lodged up your backside. I don't know how or why you've got such a beef with Steve, but I'm going to have to implore you, just as I did years ago, to TAKE IT OFF LIST. And if you've got a problem with Eric's email list -- I've got a yahoo email account, too -- you can easily block his email address or mark all of his incoming messages as spam with LITERALLY TWO CLICKS OF A MOUSE. Since you haven't done that, just as you have chosen not to block Steve (and have instead opted to publicly attack him...yet again), I can only assume, as I did before, that you enjoy berating people in public merely for the amusement of it. Given your colorful and patchy history on this list due to prior list infractions, I have no reason to believe otherwise.

Re: [meteorite-list] tatahouine
Erics post about his opinion of what was or was not list business was responded to off list --as he demanded but did not do himself. I also repeated for the nth time my desire to be removed from his mailing list for ebay auctions..sigh. My post about a specific incidence of questionable "Ethics". In the meteorite hobby, ethics extends beyond "which country allows or doesn't allow meteorite export". When someone is potentially breaking a law then it is legitimate discussion--especially when they are so in your face about it and freely posts the details to the list. When someone is posting what most might believe to be personal details (e.g. TMI )then it is also fodder for list discussion when it raises the specter of fraud or abuse. Under that license, I addressed a questionable activity to ensure that ethics were in fact being adhered to. Seems the enablers don't care truly care about ethics-- just situational ethics and protecting their diseased cows at the risk and expense other cow herders. None of us wants Steve to "inadvertantly" violate any laws--especially any that would bring discredit to the hobby. I think he was fairly notified that someone IS looking over his shoulder just in case. This is a good thing as Martha might have said during her stint up river.

[meteorite-list] Tatahouine?
Hi List, I'm curious about something we hear frequently from people who hunt (and re-hunt) the Franconia, Gold Basin, and other western US strewnfields. But we never hear anything about people hunting the old African strewnfields like Tatahouine. Since Tata is one of those singularly-exceptional meteorites, there seems to be some incentive for those with the means and churchbells to re-hunt it. If nobody is hunting Tata, is it because Tunisia is not safe enough? Compared to Algeria which sits right next door, Tunisia is considered a relatively-moderate Sunni Arab state. I know it's probably considered risky or remote compared to Morocco, so maybe this is why nobody is looking. Best regards, MikeG . Michael Gilmer (Louisiana, USA) Member of the Meteoritical Society.

[meteorite-list] Tatahouine Connoisseurs' Guide
Dear Listees, As I went through my specimens of Tatahouine all night; I just got that old lovin' feeling all over again. I thought I would share some personal opinions regarding this incredible green meteorite, with the benefit of having looked at several kilos of material over the years. They are personal opinions, though, so please understand opinions don't always agree. Here's what I wanted to share: There are incredible natural telltale impact signs of on Tatahouine. In general the locality should not be polished, as these valuable signs may be erased. Of course some people may like to do this to enhance looks orundrstand shock veining, but my personal opinion, nice pieces are rare and contain the history of the meteorite written delicately in the tiny markings. Like a quartz crystal, the meteorite can be cut...but... At the mineral shows this is a common practice with big quartz to make faux crystals that look cool. It's a personal decision. Next, be wary of frequent claims of Tatahouine meteorites with fusion crust. The same telltale signatures of crystal cleavage that show impact, also show it impossible for fusion crust to have formed in many places claimed with a little common sense. Tatahouine crust is brownish-black, and very matte finished, and quite thick and a little crumb-like. Don't ask me to explain crumb-like, that is just what I think when I see it. And it's quite obvious once you've seen it one time. If it is thin and shiny, and blue-black it is not what I consider fusion crust. I believe it to be chromite and/or Iron Sulfide inclusions. Whether they may have melted during entry or along crystal boundaries due to other energy inputs, no comment, just that the authentic fusion crust is completely differently textured. But many will call this fusion crust. For me this is almost a moot point, there is so little. Though, whatever it is, it is a nice feature to have. But there are plent more much more interesting features once you get into it, that these shiny black features are no where near the top of my list. But I would stress it is not fusion crust. Fusion crust invariably occurs, when it so very rarely does, on a powdery surface which is smoothes (Don't clean or polish even if no crust!). Other interesting features in Tatahouine are chromite inclusions as well as Iron Sulfide. You can have a few specs of what looks to be metal flakes built right into the crystal lattice. These are big crystals - the biggest of any stony meteorite to my knowledge. I've seen one 6 cm long! I just saw one specimen with a step-work lamilar crystal fracturare pattern that blew my mind, also another with a blob of some sort of metal contain gunk (or what - I don't know). Even shattercone hairlines are pronounced in some specimens. Did you know that the study of Tatahouine was what nailed the coffin shut on the Allan Hills 84001 meteorite not having fossil Martian life forms? It's because the same structures were observed to have developed in meteorites recovered in 1994, compared to the original material recovered a short time after the fall...

[meteorite-list] Tatahouine Delight [AD]
Tatahouine Delight - Priced at a Song! Dear Listees, http://www.diogenite.com/t1.htm (Musical version honors Tatooine Planet in Star Wars) http://www.diogenite.com/t1ns.htm (Sound-free version - so you could hear a pin drop) I've got some really superb deals on Tatahouine diogenite meteorites this second and final time around this week. The sale expires in a day and a half and all specimens should be sent on Wednesday from the USA! Sorry the monster specimens are no longer available but some quite big and attractive pieces have been added along with some hefty babies under 15 grams - a whole category of small fry for this sale! No one ever said, "Most Tatahouine's are under 1 gram each" = you must buy micros". And I prove that with some sweet deals on the lower range. When saying "small", I still want there to be some structure to hold there. As you scroll down to the bottom of the offering, all the new specimens will be near the bottom including one for slightly above $100 with a great planar face (practically flat enough to be cut) that appears to have a little nice dab of that elusive fusion crust just below. The smaller the pieces, generally, the lower the cost per gram and these are real bargains and nice. Thanks kindly for buying or browsing. And if you want the itsy bitsy ones - I have the right price on them too (see link and go to the bottom of the page). Best Health, and Thanks kindly for your time and I hope you enjoy looking at the specimens as much as I do.

There is a radial pattern and if the specimen were larger I believe the lines would converge at some point.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tatahouine - Pronounciation & MOH Hardness?
I had always mentally pronounced it like the Star Wars planet "Tatooine", with an extra "ta" in the appropriate spot.

[meteorite-list] Tatahouine Pronunciation

Though Anne's is naturally closest to perfect :-) > TA TA OO ENE (very easy) Rob wrote: > The first "ta" rhymes with the "ca" of cat. No, both the first and the second "ta" rhyme with the "cu" of the word "cut". As for the "hou" syllable, see Anne's double "OO". A comparable sound would be the double-O in "loot" or in "hoot", or "soot", etc. ... and a word for Anne's "ENE" would be "kerosene".

Re: [meteorite-list] Tatahouine - Pronunciation
Rob and List, I believe Rob's pronunciation is very close to correct. Bob Holmes and I spent a few hours with Alain Carion and Anne Black at the Tucson Show while filming a segment for our soon to be released video. While Alain talked about the Tatahouine meteorite, Anne held two very large specimens in her hands for the camera. Even with his beautiful thick French accent, it was easy to hear how Alain pronounced the name. Since he has personally hunted the strew field several times, I'd venture that he is pronouncing it properly.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tatahouine - Pronunciation
Hi list, Thanks Robert, I think one should say: "ta" "ta" "ween" "ta" as in "cat", twice. "ween" as in between. The "tu" pronunciation is a Spilberg idea, not a tunisian one. Not far from Tataouine, one can visit the site where was shot the movie that made this city more famous than the Diogenite. Tataouine is the correct spelling from the name of this Tunisian city. I should find a photo of the road marks with this spelling in my files. I will put that on my site one day. A easy trip but today all fragments are gone unless you look for smaller than 0.01 g. The 3 impact crater are still there, pretty empty. An old 1931 map facilitates their discovery.

[meteorite-list] Tatahouine - Pronounciation & MOH Hardness?
G'day List, Hopefully someone may be able to help me out with this one. Does anyone know where Tatahouine ranks on the MOH Hardness scale? (Or if it has even been tested this way?) I was also curious with it's pronounciation. Like so many meteorite names, you ASSUME, but are you correct? ;-) I would think: tatar-who-eye-n or tatar-who-ene Or something to that effect. Like I said; assumption! ;-) Maybe one of the dealers out there may have been there? Thanks in advance, Jeff KuykenI.M.C.A. #3085www.meteoritesaustralia.com
