Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery
Hello Glyn-- Giving your claim all advantages with a cursory review: Using your 0.22 cubic meter figure and putting in the highest measured martian density of 3.48 gr per cc, I get 76kg launch weight and 38 Kg ( assuming 50% ablation by weight) landing under perfect conditions. My max weight from the data i did have in my head, 28-32kg was not far off but not to the order of magnitude difference-- it still does not add up to 800lbs.The total weight is immaterial in one sense as to date there have been no "meteorite showers" of martian material. The chaos of an impact, in my mind, would not produce a coherent stream of meteoroids which would remain together for the several hundred thousand up to millions orbits it takes for martian material to arrive on earth. Paired finds are consistent with atmospheric breakup supporting a single original mass. I saw your extensive mineralogy and you may in fact have a meteorite-- or impactiite but, I did not see where the mineral composition nor noble gases plotted amongst plots of the entire range of meteorites. I don't know who the keeper of data is for those plots but you could still plot yours on the master graph. (I may have lots of stray data in my head but that isn't one of them). I think that the way you seem to misdirect technical answers and the way what you do claim what you do, is buried amongst irrelevant comparisons that lend skepticism to your report thus far. May I say that much of your response is filled with irrelevant comparisons and non sequitur conclusions. Apollo rocks have nothing to do with validating your claims. If I unserstand, you did some of the mineralogy and sent some off for analysis, but you won't name or revel any professional meteorist nor geo-chemist nor anyone else accredited who has either reviewed your work or through their own study. Yes or no? If so, what prevents you from releasing it? What is the shock stage if you know it?

From: Ann Cain Sent: Saturday, January 16, 2016 12:06 PM To: MEM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery Elton, Please read the research article below. Here I posted a link to it again: See pg.337 Impact and Explosion Crater Ejecta, Fragment Size, and Velocity http://web.gps.caltech.edu/~sue/TJA_LindhurstLabWebsite/ListPublications/Papers_pdf/Seismo_1314.pdf I said, " It is possible to have a mass impact eject/launch off of Mars to a diameter of approx. 22.0m, perhaps melted, but with oblique impacts they can launch off the surface solid." Note paraphrasing the article, that it is possible for impact craters on Mars up to approx. 50.0km in diameter to have the kinetic energy from an impactor to eject Mars material up to about 22.0m in diameter. Re-read that. That is 22.0 meters in diameter! These Mars meteoroids then can orbit the Sun for perhaps millions of years crossing Earth's orbital path and then fall into Earth's gravity well, there upon hitting the top of Earth's atmosphere incandescencing becoming a meteor, fragmenting, shattering, forming fusion crust, regmaglypts, orientating, flow drip-lines, fusion crust melt accumulate etc. etc. etc. (all the tell-tale signs of meteorites) falling and raining to the surface of the Earth. I know for a fact that this can happen. It happened at least once. Lol. I know because I found a Mars meteorite discovery site. It's my best hypothesis that with this Mars discovery meteorite find site that its been sitting on the surface of the Earth for about 13,000 years or less, from environmental clues, which I will not discuss. However, terrestrial age date tests need to been done of course. I bet I'm darn close to guessing the terrestrial age. Over the last 4.54B years this has probably happened many times from Mars to Earth (and some from Earth to Mars) as Earth continues to accrete but today at a much slower rate of mass influx. The well known space artist, Donald E. Davis working for NASA at the time got it right ... note the heterogeneous igneous rock mass ejected from Mars falling to Earth. These masses can be big! He nailed it. http://gfoundit-mars.com/MarsImpactEjection2.jpg The questions you ask I answer in my evidence articles. I'm not sharing all of the data from ICP-MS whole rock oxide and trace mineral analysis except for what values I have shared already. There are many more discoveries with this data to make. Science believe it or not is competitive just like sports. I get that and understand that. The analysis was done by a very well known Mining/Scientific research lab in North America that is used by many university Geology departments. They have abundant meteorite lab analysis experience. They do excellent work and they know how to keep the data from any discovery secret and proprietary as they should. They do excellent professional work, they are ethical, and they don't play games. With this data I know how to do many of the geochemistry analysis measurements. They are all repeatable. I'm more than willing to share all this data with a University meteorite analysis lab that wants to re-confirm that they are indeed meteorites, the petrology rock type, and the Parent Body of origin. If they are willing to do honest pure science research and no games, that they consider and agree that I have a right to keep the discovery site secret, that this discovery is my intellectual property, until negotiations and contracts are agreed upon and signed, then we can work together. The scientific world is going to get the material, and not just some of it, most of it. The monetary reward goes to The People.

Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery
There is no conspiracy except the one you have created to bring some misguided legitimacy to your story and your rocks. You also do an immense disservice to our dedicated scientist and meteoriticists. They have no malicious intent to prejudicially reject your rocks. Their motive is furthering science not protecting the financial interests of dealers and collectors. You are accusing the same group of scientists who in recent years identified new Martian meteorites like Black Beauty. My point is that a new and exciting discovery would not be suppressed because it would benefit the scientist personally and the community at large. If you actually looked at market trends, you would soon discover that prices for Martian Shergottites are falling because of an oversupply. Once you get past the 1 or 2kg the scientific community would EVER need, the rest would only be of concern for the collector community and the price would be set by any number of factors such as but not limited to supply. Finally, I am offended that you refer to Tikkun Olam (repairing or doing good for the benefit of the world). You are doing quite the opposite and what is worse doing so for ego and personal benefit. When Yom Kippur comes, I can only hope that you will be honest with yourself, atone for lashon hara (derogatory speech) and move on.

Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery
This is absolute hogwash. I have no background in academia, no academic credentials, and before meteorites, I cut trees for a living. I did not know anyone, I did not know the rules, I was a total newcomer back in 2007. I was embraced with open arms, despite the fact that I came across as abrasive and cocky. Multiple scientists have been very nice and accommodating to me. They have looked at some of my specimens that I submitted, and one of them was classified as an LL3.6 - at no cost to me other than postage. There are no conspiracies to keep newcomers out or to silence their discoveries. If that was true, then I wouldn't be here right now. Shut your foolish mouth before and take this load of tin-foil-hat conspiracy shit to Alex Jones - where bullshit is appreciated and spread widely. Or, get together with Goran Lindfors and Steve Curry and have a circle jerk - you are wasting your time here. Yes, I know, I just went on your conspiracy list. I am a lizard man from the Pleiades and I eat babies in the name of Satan.

Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery
Why when making the discovery of meteorites in the field, why then give away the scientific analysis and identification process to another? Why not learn how to do it for yourself so that your knowledge of the science of meteoritics increases? Why give away that joy of this discovery process? Sure I understand that many can't do it or perhaps they aren't interested in the whole scientific process, but I am. +++ Interesting questions if you are so inclined to do the mineralogy/classification and have or can develop the skills and resources to do it which are capable of withstanding peer review. The angle I have to answer your questions...you are welcomed to claim anything you want if it is your rock, or for that matter someone else's rock. The reason an independent party is brought in is to prevent a conflict of interests in "layperson's terms". If it is a learning process for you, congratulations on your enthusiasm to learn more on the subject using your unknown specimen as a self-teaching aid and more. Like learning to dance with what may turn out to be a broom instead of an authentic partner ;) I have a concern with your self-promotion of your rock before it has met any formal scientific peer review, or at least publication in an accredited scientific journal with a responsible policy of editorial review covering whatever appears in their publications and bulletins. Until this happens, your conclusions or interpretations are not validated and subject to a wide variety if biases, including but not limited to self-serving bias, confirmation bias, and optimism bias. I wish you the greatest luck with your specimen and your studies, and like all other criticism you are likely to receive, that is a healthy part of the scientific process to be appreciated, which eventually will invalidate or support your budding studies. Meteorite and meteor-wrong classification is based on the ability of a sample to be distributed to independent researchers with a stellar reputation in the meteoritical community for this reason.

Re: [meteorite-list] The US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery
Met List, I appreciate honest debate. I appreciate respect. The personal attacks need to stop. I will never respond in kind. Do you all not know the Met List policies? General List Policies (i.e. The Rules) 1. Posts need to relate in some way to meteorites. 2. Be courteous and professional at all times. 3. No Personal Attacks. ... I have not attacked the scientific community in anyway. I'm a part of it. I'm just exposing that unethical behavior can happen behind the scenes at times. I'm talking about a few individuals only. The greater amount of scientists and technicians I worked with were very professional and are wonderful people to work with. First I would like to respond to Elton who emailed me off-list. Elton you are incorrect. It is possible to have a mass impact eject/launch off of Mars to a diameter of approx. 22.0m, perhaps melted, but with oblique impacts they can launch off the surface solid. The TKW of my discovery is greater than the mass of Moon rocks we brought back during the all the Apollo missions, which is approx. 382.0kg of mass. My discovery isn't a single mass but many fragments from a heterogeneous igneous rock mass that was impact ejected/launched off the surface of Mars, or just below the surface of Mars. The largest masses of the fragments are larger than Zugami. It is mostly extrusive igneous rock from Mars. See pg.337 Impact and Explosion Crater Ejecta, Fragment Size, and Velocity http://web.gps.caltech.edu/~sue/TJA_LindhurstLabWebsite/ListPublications/Papers_pdf/Seismo_1314.pdf You all need to educate yourself regarding a very dark historical event within our Meteorite community here in the USA, The Old Woman Meteorite. It is very true that even one of the most esteemed institutions of science in our nation The Smithsonian Institute can get it really really wrong. The Golden Rule is to treat others as you would like to be treated. Geologist Joe De Kehoe gets the whole story very right. I would recommend buying his book, The Silence of the Sun. Unfair and unjust laws are simply no law at all. It's lawlessness. There is a higher law of fairness and justice. You can not ignore the original discoverer. This World Record Mars Discovery will benefit the People. It's the People's National treasure. The People are to benefit. I've said that all along and will continue to do so. I'm doing the right thing. I know a greater law ... Psalm 24:1 NLT "A psalm of David. The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him."

The discoverer has a right to withhold the discovery site to guard their discovery and its full value, and to protect it. How many people over the many years couldn't persevere against this wall, this unethical gate-keeping because they didn't have the prerequisite skills or knowledge and they weren't able to realize that they were lied to or purposefully fed disinformation, and as a result had to walk away and give up, with an incredible treasure of scientific knowledge and wealth in their hand? It could of been very different. It could have been a very cooperative process of discovery for everyone. The original discoverer has rights. I've said it before , and I'll keep saying it ... It takes discoverers to make scientific discoveries. Doing science and making scientific discoveries is not a crime. There is a right to protect discoveries and intellectual property.

Nothing like purposeful road-blocks, gate-keeping, and disinformation thrown at me to motivate me to learn to how to do it myself. As the old adage goes, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. The Earth Sciences are my background. I have the prerequisite skills. It took time but I did it. I'm still learning. I never stop learning. I didn't do it in a vacuum. I had much help and assistance along the way, from very good, professional scientists and technicians who were very ethical and very knowledgeable and very helpful, and then they did their assigned jobs very professionally and willingly. One day when the story can be told completely in detail I will certainly call out personally all those who helped me. The others who didn't, I will anonymously thank for motivating me to learn meteoritics and to learn to do it on my own. I have enjoyed the scientific process immensely. Much more to come. And I can prove what I know. Why when making the discovery of meteorites in the field, why then give away the
