I gotta wonder because  he states that it is not white inside.
BUT, his  customers are all HAPPY?
What's the posibility this is another older fall in the same general area as 
West-Ash Creek fall.

He tells you in the description what it is:  it's a varnished 
hematite/limonite concretion,  which are common in that area.

Hi List,

There is something about this object that doesn't seem to add up. The claim is 
that it is a "piece" of an old "Mir" space station.

[meteorite-list] What is this?

[Jim Strope]

Anybody have any ideas?

Obviously not a meteorite but here is the story.

"I have a friend who has what he thinks is a metorite which was disccovered 
near an adena indian burial mound by a grave digger in 1894 and given to a 
doctor for a medical bill. This possible metorite weighs about 75 lbs. and 
is black in color like the one you have for same but it is more symmetrical 
and water melon shaped."

[C. Giessler]

Hola, List,
i got something here and iÂm not sure about what it really is.
I donÂt think its a meteorite, but what is it, is it a pyrite nodule, 
like the list talked about a few weeks ago?
The crystals that are at one side of it look a bit similar. At the sides 
are some kind of lines.

Here are pictures:

Good Morning-
   In reference to this listing:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=282&item=4934673984&rd=1

   Where is the meteorite in it? My initial thought is
tektite- but is it ground into the "picture frame"
style?
   Also- how would ct weight relate to grams?

   Thank You. Sorry about my ignorance.
Mike

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

This guy has been selling a wide variety of assorted fakes over the
last 2+ years.  He occasionally sells a real meteorite to make things
interesting.  But the majority of his specimens are dubious at best -
including some bogus lunaites.  I seriously doubt these are West
meteorites,  or meteorites at all.  If his customers are happy, then
someone please tell them that I have some swampland available at
discount. ;)

Hey, I hear that those boggy creeks are great places for finding lunites.

I found a few of the same things in West. Look like hematite concretions to me, 
that may have been struck by lightning driving off the oxygen to make them 
magnetic.

Sorry if this duplicates

Steve,
> may have been struck by lightning driving off the oxygen to make them magnetic
What Haven't heard that one before!

Steve,
Since you have contributed to this subject, perhaps you can explain
why you have listed the following suspect items as meteorites in the
"stephen dunklee collection"?
http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=244
camp acapulcoite
camp diogenite
camp howardite
camp pallasite
camp122006
Limedale
Mammoth Springs
Do you really think these are meteorites? If 'no', why are they listed
beside real meteorites?
If 'yes', I suggest this does not improve your image (you once sold
self-classified wrongs on eBay but to your credit you stopped) but
even calls to question your meteorite photos and any legitimate photos
that you have supplied to the Met Bull for reference.
http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor//MetBullFindphoto.php?credit=stephen+dunklee
Do you see my point?
Ken

Update:

Steve contacted me offline and explained that the suspect items were
uploaded years ago and he had since tried to delete them but his
efforts had somehow been blocked. I do not  doubt his explanation.
Steve has been sharing his photos of authentic meteorites and I hope
he continues to contribute to the hobby and the meteorite community.

Best,

That was good for a laugh. Looks like a piece of "MIR-de" to me. From the 
glances I saw, it is at best a tektite, maybe obsidian. Definitely something 
that should be left under the tree where it was stored.

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[Pat Brown]

Hi Count and the List, 

Obvious Vesicles and Conchoidal fractures and a vitreous overall appearance - 
makes this a very unlikely candidate for re-entered space junk. Also the line 
"most of MIR re-entered over the Indian Ocean, but this piece made it to the 
USA" - very fishy. 

I think this is in the category of cool rock, but very unlikely to be space 
junk, let alone specifically part of the MIR space station.

With Best Regards, 
                Pat

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[Jodie Reynolds]

Not buying it, at least not at face value. Quite literally "doesn't add up".

It would have to survive at least another five orbits after Mir broke
up.  And it would have been a very light piece. That's five orbits
AFTER its OBSERVED reentry!

My simulation puts it within a few kilometers altitude of the US
Army's tracking on Kwajalein Atoll, so I figure I can't be too far
off, this is what the final track + 4 more orbits would have looked
like.  Even in that last orbit, it would have to be pretty perturbed
to make it there!  My atmospheric interface is based on archived
data, but out there, the data isn't fantastic -- hence the probable
reason I'm at 128km vs the actual 120km significant interface, and why I'm at 
93km when
the US Army's observation is at 90km.

If you told me it was found in Fiji, Australia, New Zealand - I'd
probably take a closer look at it.  East Coast of the US?  Psh.  No.

Here's my reentry model + 4 orbits

Cool. Its a standard textbook like slag. Here in germany at some locations are 
thousands of such pieces in all sizes and colors from brown to green in all 
intensitys (until almost pure blackness, often bluish due microinclusions). 
How stupid must someone be to put such a thing into the news as space rock?

Right. I wonder who the NASA scientist is, about whom the owner of the stone 
talked or whether he exists or not. 

Seems to be some kind of new trend to let someone from the NASA verify unknown 
things. Maybe i should bring my old coins from flea market to one of the cooks 
from a NASA cantine to let him verify that these are from a antique romanian 
space capsule and thus worth alot. Then i tell i have verified it at NASA and 
they will sell well.

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[Michael Farmer]

I've been getting photos from Iran of all kinds of crap, nothing even close to 
meteorite, and he keeps saying NASA is buying them all but I can counter offer:)
Somehow I doubt anyone at NASA has seen these things. It is just the new 
name-dropping to try and sell.

[meteorite-list] What is this structure?

[Aleksandr Leonenko]

Hello!
I would like to know: what is shown in the photo - sinkhole or crater? A 
diameter of 15 meters. About 0.5 meters deep sand bars, followed by a hard 
green clay. Around the structure - a shaft of up to 60 centimeters. 
Unfortunately we do not have metal detectors, check for debris we can not.
What is this structure?

[meteorite-list] What is this pallasite

[Jim Strope]

He all..
 
I was sent this photo by a friend of a pallasite that 
they purchased on ebay.  It was identified as possibly coming 
from the Mike Crater which could not be true as Mike is an L6 from 
Hungary.  The ebay seller originally acquired from a French Meteorite 
Collector in 1989 but the identification paperwork has been 
lost.
 
Here is a link to the photo.  Does anyone have any ideas on what this 
pallasite may be?

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Jim, list - 

In all of my Adena and Hopewell reading and site
visits I have never seen anything like this object or
read a description which might match it.

The object was reported "near" an Adena site, but
since all of those sites were prime real estate which
was re-occupied by colonists, it is likely that this
object is modern.

Where exactly was the location?  I note the surface
revealed by the carved initials - Could it be water
rounded coal? A stream boulder blackened by fire? The
symmetry is baffling.

no joy this time, so 
good hunting, 
Ed

[Thaddeus Besedin]

If this is associated with a burial, I would imagine that it may represent an 
oomorphic effigy - a ceremonial object. It is much too large to be used as a 
handstone. Does it have any concave surface features? Was it found polished? 
Perhaps you can send the photo to a local archaeologist.

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Jim - 

The remains at Moundsville are covered in my book "Man
and Impact in the Americas", and I have visited there
several times, inclusing tracing the Grave Creek trade
path. There was extensive Native American settlement
in the entire area (map page 133 Man and Impact in the
Americas).  

Most of the mounds were pretty well leveled by 1894,
excepting the Main mound.  I have not visited the
other mound which you mention still exists.

I'm sure that maps from 1894 would show active
European cemeteries. These could be compared against
Schoolcraft's map.

The area was also very heavily industrialized by 1894,
so some industrial object can not be excluded.

Perhaps a buisness directory or town directory or some
such would allow identification of the individual in
the initials. Check with the genealogical section of
the library in Moundsville. (PS - They have a copy of
my book, available for free loan.)

As I mentioned before, I've never seen anything like
it.  The WVA archaeologists someimes meet at the
museum at the big mound, so you could stop by there
and check when they will be meeting. Or you might try
contacting them through the internet.

What material is the object composed of?

Ed

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi,

This is a strictly "two-cents-worth" opinion,
since I have a stone that is a twin to this one (at
least, photographically) except that it is only the
size of a very small ostrich egg: same shape, same
smooth finish, shiny black and dense, not native
to this limestone country I live in.

It is no mystery. The glaciers brought it here,
but then finished it off in the immense and violent
outflow that poured forth when the Wisconsin
glaciation melted rapidly. The prolate spheroid
shape is produced by the stone "spinning" around
its longest axis in the high-speed flow and grinding
against everything else in the flow. River cobbles
are just as smooth but irregular, even polygonal.

But if you spin it fast enough, as the Mississippi
must have flowed when it carved a 25-mile wide
channel with 200-foot cliffs on either side, this is
the shape you get. I found my little one in a gully
about ten miles down from where the face of the
glacier that sat on Illinois was. This gully wasn't
any Mississippi, but I bet it was cut through the
limestone in an hour or a day, like a Scablands
channel.

Or, maybe, it's a Thunderbird egg...

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this?

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Sterling, 

I like your formation mechanism, but with a sudden
lake drainage and not a rapid melting, but the problem
here is that this stone was found in Moundsville, WVa.
True this is on the Ohio River, but it still seems
unusual, and clearly others thought so.

You have glacial erratics up by Hagerstown, Md, so its
entirely possible that one of the local valleys could
have held a lake which drained suddenly, maybe even
flowing down either Little or Big Grave Creek.

While not a meteorite, perhaps it could have been an
unusual stone collected or used long ago by the people
living there, but its likely we'll never know for
certain.  

good hunting,
Ed

Hi All.

This is already a known meteorite but what is it?  Lets hear the guesses as
there is currently a difference of opinion.

Shock melt ... maybe. The stone looks so dark that it may well be
shock-darkened matrix with a thick shock melt train/tunnel inside.

Ken-
I have nothing to offer on this matter though I do know that there
are carbon rich deposits around the Sudbury Astrobleme. These are fullerine
rich deposits that were theoretically the remains of the impactor condensed
by water runoff (same as silt collects). I will be obtaining some of this
material soon with a full write up. I will offer it to the list when I
have it in hand.

Re: [meteorite-list] what is this meteorite

[Francisco Ocaña]

Amazing! After weeks I have finally cut some Dean´s NWAs and one of them 
is very simmilar to yours. It is quite black, very homogeneus, with 
absence of chondrules or metal. It is a 75g fragment with a ,what I 
think, is a nice fusion crust ( http://asaaf.fis.ucm.es/~paco/D469.JPG ) 
. The magnetic susceptibility is 3,58 in SI units. It is quite fragile 
and has many cracks!


Any ideas? How to know its type?
Cheers,

Paco

It superficially looks like Dhofar 1085 but the
"anorthosite clasts" don't have the same texture, even
at the relatively low resolution of the pic.

I don't know who's selling it and I'd want a whole lot
more info before I was even remotely convinced that
it's the real thing.

I've seen a few pics almost identical to this in
"meteorwrong" lists. I forget what they said it
actually was.

Re: [meteorite-list] what is this, really

[Randy Korotev]

1)  In addition to not having a fusion crust, the
object is suspiciously non-lunar in that the clasts are too much all the
same size.  Lunar regolith breccias are the closest lunar analogs to
terrestrial sedimentary rocks, and there is often a superficial
resemblance.  In many (but not all) terrestrial sediments, however,
wind and water processes lead to size sorting so that the clasts are all
about the same size.  There are no such sorting mechanisms on the
Moon.  I've called this a "fractal" effect - it doesn't
make any difference what scale you look at a lunar regolith breccia, it
always looks the same.  To me, in the rock in the photo (asphalt?),
there don't seem to be enough big clasts or small clasts, as, for
example, in ALHA 81005: 

http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/alha81005.html
I've never heard of "meteorite expert" mentioned in the
blurb.

2) Regarding text of Pluto news release: "Although astronomers
applauded after the vote, Jocelyn Bell Burnell -- a specialist in neutron
stars from Northern Ireland ..."
How many neutron stars are there in Northern Ireland?

Fw: [meteorite-list] what is this, really

[MexicoDoug]

Hello Randy, List:

1. I just wanted to thank Dr. Korotev -- a long-established specialist in
Lunar rocks from St. Louis, for the opportunity to hear his present and
future comments on the list!

2.  On the scale, does this mean the clasts get arbitrarily large for the
known sample pool or is there a sort of maximum size assumed, my head is
starting to hurt to imagine what sort of size distribution this could be.
It couldn't be constant or you'd bump in to some very large pieces too
frequently (??), but at the other extreme an inverse exponential wouldn't
give you the robust size representations you are looking for in the asphalt,
right, wrong, or... The 'fractal' thought suggests a pattern- is this just
the "feel" of randomness at all reasonable lab scales or do you know if more
can be read into this? If there really is a maximum size we can keep in mind
for clasts, what would that be - over a variety of localities, and how much
does this vary, I wonder.  Any help would be kind, though the question is
mostly curiosity, it could  come in handy while hunting meteorites.  And it
is hard to reproduce this idea in a sandbox.  The closest I can come is
looking at a suspension like milk, under magnification?

3.  http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/moon/howdoweknow.html <==
Everything you ever wanted to know is probably here on Lunar recognition,
thanks to the excellent web site Randy maintains at Wash. U. St. Louis.  (As
in Missouri.)

Best wishes, Doug

1)  In addition to not having a fusion crust, the object is suspiciously
non-lunar in that the clasts are too much all the same size.  Lunar regolith
breccias are the closest lunar analogs to terrestrial sedimentary rocks, and
there is often a superficial resemblance.  In many (but not all) terrestrial
sediments, however, wind and water processes lead to size sorting so that
the clasts are all about the same size.  There are no such sorting
mechanisms on the Moon.  I've called this a "fractal" effect - it doesn't
make any difference what scale you look at a lunar regolith breccia, it
always looks the same.  To me, in the rock in the photo (asphalt?), there
don't seem to be enough big clasts or small clasts, as, for example, in ALHA
81005:

http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/alha81005.html

I've never heard of "meteorite expert" mentioned in the blurb.


2) Regarding text of Pluto news release: "Although astronomers applauded
after the vote, Jocelyn Bell Burnell -- a specialist in neutron stars from
Northern Ireland ..."

How many neutron stars are there in Northern Ireland?

Just a guess, but I'd have to say-- less than five?  But it gives her time for
her other project, documenting the native kangaroo populations of Wales.

On a more serious note, since reading this, I've been racking my brain (and
google) trying to remember the source/name of a dramitization/documentary on
Jocelyn Bell's discovery of plusars.  It was produced around 20 years ago (give
or take) and aired on PBS.  It may have been a Nova episode, but I'm thinking
that it was a shorter piece, possibly aimed at a younger audience.  Does that
ring a Bell with anyone?

Doug:
I don't know, but Dhofar 287, NWA 773, and Sau 169 are each dominated but
one igneous (basalt in Dhofar 287, olivine cumulate in NWA 773) or
pseudo-igneous rock type (crystallized impact-melt in SaU 169) with a
minor regolith-breccia rock type attached:

http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/dhofar287.html


http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/nwa773.html

http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/sau169.html
So, one interpretation is that each of these meteorites is really a
regolith breccia with one immense clast.  Perhaps the clast material
is stronger than the regolith breccia material and survived the blast
off, Moon-Earth trip, entry, and landing better.
"Clasts" like this do occur in the lunar regolith:

[meteorite-list] What IS this stuff??? puzzler

[Jensan Scientifics/ Sci-Mall]

Hello listees,

What IS this stuff??? Sorta like impactite, sorta like vesicular impact
melt.

Can anyone get the answer BEFORE looking at the "answer link"
provided???

Look here:   http://www.sciencemall-usa.com/mystermineral.html

..

BTW. The answer to last week's mineral puzzler, (the metallic-looking
spherule in matrix), if you didn't make it back to the page to
check.was corundum!  Never have found globular corundum in a sample
before.

Best,
Dave and Sarah

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/05/0509_020509_glassmeteorite.html

Hello Darren and List,

These are Messier and Messier A. Messier is an oval crater ( 9 x 11 km).
Messier A is two circular craters (the "younger" one sits on and thus
hides part of the "older" crater). This double crater measures 11 x 13 km
and this is the one in the NASA picture that displays these two straight,
narrow rays up to a distance of 120 km! Look for it in Mare Fecundidatis
3-4 days after the Moon is new or 3-4 days after full moon because then
this interesting feature is close to the terminator (No, not Arnold from
Austria ;-) and can thus be seen at its best!

Cheers,

Bernd

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this lunar crater?

[Rob McCafferty]

Not familiar with this one, however, I cannot help but
think that it's really unlikely that a meteorite is
going to bounce.
Almost certainly 2 separate craters

My personal favourite low angle impact crater is
Schiller

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiller_(crater)

To the best of my knowledge, it still is believed to
be an impact from about 4 deg (though my info is about
10 years old and probably out of date)

If memory serves correctly, its somewhere down the
very bottom of the moon (as seen from N Hemisphere).
It probably gives lat/long on the link. Just wanted a
pic so didn't read it.

Re: [meteorite-list] What is this lunar crater?

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi all - 

As Bess taught Harry to say, "Horse Manure".

Schultz has replied to Melosh several times, and will
do so again. Schultz et al have conducted several more
field expeditions to Rio Cuarto, with further analysis
of samples.

The Maya were quite specific about what hit - "GI",
"GII", "GIII", and where it hit -  "Matawil". You can
add another comet sample to the list. See "Man and
Impact in the Americas" for a full presentation -
though the resultant climate collapse at 2360 BCE as
shown by tree rings came in too late for inclusion in
my book.  I left out Canyon de Cielo at 2325 BCE,
which also hit at "Matawil".

What this Multi-National Geographic piece is is more
crappy impact science by PR, the kind I've come to
expect from NASA.  

Its nice to see NASA finally admitting to tangential
impacts though. Change comes slowly. I wonder what
year NASA will start to feature tangential impacts
identified as such in either the MGS or MOd pictures
of the week. 

good hunting, 
Ed

Hello again listees!

What IS this stuff??? One of the most common elements IN Earth, yet
nearly impossible to find in any deposit ON Earth. More likely to fall
on your head (woof, Kevin, woof!).

Can anyone get the answer BEFORE looking at the "answer link" given on
the quiz page???

Look here:   http://www.sciencemall-usa.com/mystermineral.html

..

BTW. The answer to last week's mineral puzzler... green, bubbly, glassy,

right answer, and to Anne Black for being only moments behind Matt. You

For another fun puzzler, check out Meteorite Taipei at geocities.com/meteoritetaipei and see if you can spot any meteorites among the earth rocks for sale. According to this meteorite dealer, if a magnet sticks to it, it's a meteorite. OK, by that rule my Amana refrigerator is now classified as a large meteorite for sale, with crust. Minus the food and beer, of course.

Fred and All,
I saw his auction for  Antique
Ancient Chinese Stone Meteorite Frog
I couldn't figure why he didn't post a pict. Then I went to the web
site a saw
the  Meteoric
Frog?   Now I know why he didn't post the pict,  it
is obviously not meteoric.
Hoppy Trails,
Ken
P.S.  Save a  meteoric beer for me!

[meteorite-list] What Is This Thing? Mystery Rock or Meteorwrong?

[Paul via Meteorite-list]

On Reddit, there is an item (rock?) labeled "AN/TCS-62" that
many people are guessing is either a meteorite or Moon rock at:
https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/jr62jh/my_grandpa_gave_this_to_me_before_he_died_does/

Although I disagree with either identification, the members
of this list might have fun making their guesses as to what
this mystery specimen is.

Have fun,

Paul H.

[meteorite-list] WHAT IS THIS????? ACCUSED OF RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!!

[Steve Arnold, Chicago!!!]

Good evening list.I was on the phone with a local collecter, and we were
talking about a few things, and he said, do you know  that you are being
ripped on the meteorite list?And I said, no.What are you talking about?He
said that someone is very unhappy about the ebay trans action you sent
them.They were very unhappy with certain aspects of the sale.Well when I
was told who it was,my mouth just dropped.I cannot believe that anyone
would even think I would ever try and rip someone off, especially on ebay
where I have a pretty good record.But I think the biggest thing that BOILS
me is that this was brought to the met-list.I have always maintained that
if someone has a problem with me, bring it to the table in private.The
whole world does not need to know what is happening.I will never rip
anyone about anything in public if I can help it.It just is not good
etiqutte.Concerning the auctions that were brought to my attention, I
never stated that any of the rikers were going to be part of the
auction.On my current auctions I have made claimed that the rikers are not
part of the the meteorites that will go out.And I guess what really pisses
me off is,that I am being lambasted because I did not return an email fast
enough.I work 9 to 5:30 everyday.I do not get to my emails until at least
8 pm cst.By 10:30 I am in bed.I was going to responde to this person later
tonight.But I guess he responded to the whole world.I have not,nor will I
ever try and rip anyone off from this fine group or from any group ever.I
know some of my auctions are a little bizaar, and sometimes I do not have
pics or word everything correctly.I admit those faults and I try to do the
best I can, BUT I AM NOT A RIP OFF ARTIST.I have 107 positives,1 neutral
and 1negative.A 99.1% ratio of good vs. bad.I think that is pretty good.I
stand by what I sell and if there is a problem, I'll try and get fixed as
soon as possible.But lets keep the private things private.Do not let the
world in on everything.My motto all my life has been,SOME THINGS ARE
BETTER LEFT UNSAID.In cluding in private.It is 6:30 and I will responde to
the gentlemans request in a private manner,after I have my dinner.Life is
to short to bring one person down,let alone humilate them to the whole
world.Have a good evening list.

Re: [meteorite-list] What Is This Thing? Mystery Rock or Meteorwrong?

[Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list]

"Air Force personnel work in the TSC-62 technical control central van during 
arctic training Exercise JACK FROST 77, Jack Frost '77 exercised command and 
control techniques and procedures for joint task force operations."


The cube reads AN/TSC-62 ,   the AN indicates antenna I think

probably a piece of some military communications device given in recognition 
of their particular involvement would be my guess.

Re: [meteorite-list] What Is This Thing? Mystery Rock or Meteorwrong?

[CARL ESPARZA via Meteorite-list]

It does look like one of the actual Lunar samples given away by our Government 
(same lucite presentation but without the numbers) back in the day. I have seen 
one like it that was given to a Tucson Ratheon executive. It is my 
understanding that the Gov. wants these back so, it is likely unsaleable if 
that is what it is. Carl
