Re: [meteorite-list] Gold Basin
Congratulations, definitely some shock-breaking, tire-popping and gear straining territory. There are some trails on the South side of Jumbo Peak that will take you to some springs with many signs of early man, including some stone hunting blinds and lithic scatter. I am not sure if this area is federal or not but I would not touch any artifacts just in case. 34 pounds might qualify for a new chondrite record here in Nevada! Happy Hunting, Adam - Original Message - From: "Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list" To: Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 9:23 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Gold Basin Hello List, As you may have heard, there has been a major development concerning the Gold Basin strewn field. Of course, it's possible this is not GB but the evidence looks very promising. Three years ago Joe Franske ventured to the north side of Lake Meade in search of the big end of Gold Basin. According to Joe, it took him 6 tries to get to the right location, but once he did, it took him only 3 hours to find a meteorite. This is a monumental feat to say the least. He brought me in on the project last March and I take no credit for this discovery. Sure, we all had an idea that the strewn field crossed the lake, we all drew lines, but only one guy had the steel to go get it done. Hats off to Joe. Joe and I have decided we are pretty much done out there for now. We documented well over 100 pounds, most of which was found on the south side of Jumbo Peak. Last week I extended the field another 5.75 miles with 2 finds on the north side of Jumbo, including a 34 pound stone that was broken into many pieces. We decided to give you guys some details regarding the find locations, hence this message, but in return we would like to know about any finds you make so that we may continue documenting the strewn field. Jim Kreigh, John Blennert and Twink Monrad did a fantastic job documenting in the past and we would like to do the same. I know there are some hunters out there that will not share and so be it, but most of us are good people and I would expect some cooperation for the good of the larger picture. Please send your reports to me so that I can share them with the scientist involved with our work. Joe found the first stone on the south side of Jumbo Peak and that is where the majority of the finds were made. The area is only about a mile wide and I highly doubt that defines the outer limits of the field, however, to go farther east or west is difficult due to terrain. Go onto Google earth and you will see the valley just south of the peak, and north of the park boundary, this is where you start. On the north side of Jumbo Peak you will find most of the area too soft for meteorite recovery. Decomposing granite has likely buried the stones too deep for detection. In my mind it's a small miracle that I found the 2 stones on that side. To put the difficulty into perspective, we spent 36 man days to locate the 2 stones and out of four hunters I was the only one to score. That place will hand your butt to you on a platter, as they say. As a side note; If you decide to give this place a try there are some things to consider. To get to the south side of Jumbo you will need a 4 wheel drive and it takes about 3.5 - 4 hours once you leave Mesquite. There is no phone service and the road out wants to eat your truck! If you go, plan to stay for several days at least, it's a lot of work and expense just for a day or two. If you have any specific questions feel free to email me. Good luck and fair sailing to all who go! Here's the low down on the science so far. I submitted samples from my 16+ lb. stone (found March, 2014) to UCLA this past summer. It did come back L6 as can be seen below. Dr. Kring wants to do more work including cosmogenics and such, on several different samples to help come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is indeed Gold Basin . When asked how I know it's GB I say that the classification is consistent, they look the same in hand, on the exterior and the interior, and they are in line with the logical progression of the known field. Sure, it could be something different, but simply put, the easiest, most obvious and logical answer is usually the right answer. I'd be very, very surprised if it was something else. UCLA (Rubin, Breen) "received August 18, 2014, 2 pieces, 23.7 g L6 S4 W1 olivine: Fa 23.9±0.2 (n=15); low-Ca pyroxene: Fs20.3±0.3 Wo1.6±0.2 (n=12) plagioclase grains are typically 60-100 µm in size. The rock exhibits weak mosacisim but does not contain maskelynite."

Very, very well done! Congrats to Joe and thank you both for showing us that what can be achieved when one is really committed to a pursuit. Mendy Ouzillou On Feb 26, 2015, at 6:23 PM, Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list wrote: Hello List, As you may have heard, there has been a major development concerning the Gold Basin strewn field. Of course, it's possible this is not GB but the evidence looks very promising. Three years ago Joe Franske ventured to the north side of Lake Meade in search of the big end of Gold Basin. According to Joe, it took him 6 tries to get to the right location, but once he did, it took him only 3 hours to find a meteorite. This is a monumental feat to say the least. He brought me in on the project last March and I take no credit for this discovery. Sure, we all had an idea that the strewn field crossed the lake, we all drew lines, but only one guy had the steel to go get it done. Hats off to Joe. Joe and I have decided we are pretty much done out there for now. We documented well over 100 pounds, most of which was found on the south side of Jumbo Peak. Last week I extended the field another 5.75 miles with 2 finds on the north side of Jumbo, including a 34 pound stone that was broken into many pieces. We decided to give you guys some details regarding the find locations, hence this message, but in return we would like to know about any finds you make so that we may continue documenting the strewn field. Jim Kreigh, John Blennert and Twink Monrad did a fantastic job documenting in the past and we would like to do the same. I know there are some hunters out there that will not share and so be it, but most of us are good people and I would expect some cooperation for the good of the larger picture. Please send your reports to me so that I can share them with the scientist involved with our work. Joe found the first stone on the south side of Jumbo Peak and that is where the majority of the finds were made. The area is only about a mile wide and I highly doubt that defines the outer limits of the field, however, to go farther east or west is difficult due to terrain. Go onto Google earth and you will see the valley just south of the peak, and north of the park boundary, this is where you start. On the north side of Jumbo Peak you will find most of the area too soft for meteorite recovery. Decomposing granite has likely buried the stones too deep for detection. In my mind it's a small miracle that I found the 2 stones on that side. To put the difficulty into perspective, we spent 36 man days to locate the 2 stones and out of four hunters I was the only one to score. That place will hand your butt to you on a platter, as they say. As a side note; If you decide to give this place a try there are some things to consider. To get to the south side of Jumbo you will need a 4 wheel drive and it takes about 3.5 - 4 hours once you leave Mesquite. There is no phone service and the road out wants to eat your truck! If you go, plan to stay for several days at least, it's a lot of work and expense just for a day or two. If you have any specific questions feel free to email me. Good luck and fair sailing to all who go! Here's the low down on the science so far. I submitted samples from my 16+ lb. stone (found March, 2014) to UCLA this past summer. It did come back L6 as can be seen below. Dr. Kring wants to do more work including cosmogenics and such, on several different samples to help come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is indeed Gold Basin . When asked how I know it's GB I say that the classification is consistent, they look the same in hand, on the exterior and the interior, and they are in line with the logical progression of the known field. Sure, it could be something different, but simply put, the easiest, most obvious and logical answer is usually the right answer. I'd be very, very surprised if it was something else.

Re: [meteorite-list] gold basin cake/ freebie
As always, Twink, the Queen of Gold Basin and of all of the Tucson Show will, indeed, have an EXTRA large Gold Basin cake at The auction (Last year she ran out and people whimpered and Cried - so she is taking no chances this year). Also, Gary and CJ wrote me a touching post and when I Called them to get their PayPal direct email for a generous European donor to PayPal them directly, CJ was in tears. They Have been fearing the loss of their trailer and being faced with Homelessness. Let's hope some people also come through with Some hearty donations for them to be auctioned off (and I will Include my consignment fee in the donation). It is crucial that Anyone sending directly to them use the PayPal address they Gave me AND to in PayPal to mark it as "Personal" - "Gift" so That PayPal does not take the usual 3% or so out. Please also note that those wishing to simply place an item In the auction per usual, they may still do so. It would be very Convenient if it were all in by Wed - though I may extend the Time I arrange the lots in order for the auction until Fri. Getting' Tucson Fever! Micahel On 1/23/12 3:10 PM, "Met.

Bob -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Larry & Twink Monrad Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 1:58 PM To: cdtuc...@cox.net; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Gold Basin strewn field correction on a post byCarl Esparza No Carl, you do not have this right at all. What I told you the other night is that Jim Kriegh, John Blennert and I turned in all of our first several hundred specimens to Dr. Kring at the U of A. These were found on BLM land where the field was discovered while hunting for gold. Dolores Hill and Dr. Kring went through these one by one, bagged and labeled them, as Dolores can attest. Twenty per cent of these went to the Smithsonian. The rest were eventually given back to us by Dr. Kring except for a few that the University needed for classification. John, Jim and I also donated several to the University of Arizona Mineral Museum which they still own. As all of us discovered different meteorites in the same strewn field, they were also examined, classified and returned to us except for the slices kept by the U of A for classification. It was a year later that Dr. Kring obtained for Jim Kriegh a permit to hunt on the Lake Mead Recreation Area and Jim, John and I hunted there for a while and were honored to do so. Dr. Kring was interested in knowing whether the strewn field covered the Recreation Area. When we found Gold Basin meteorites at various points even overlooking Lake Mead and walked over lots of flat land and into canyons on both sides of the road into the Recreation area it was obvious that yes, the field extended to Lake Mead. All of these finds on the Lake Mead Recreation area were turned over to Dr. Kring who in turn sent them to the Smithsonian as that had been in the agreement in order to get the permit to hunt on the Recreation area. We had hunted briefly at various spots just to see where they occurred. Jim Kriegh did not ask for the permit to be extended since the information that Dr. Kring needed had been verified. Once the press release came out from the University of Arizona in January 1998, anyone was free to hunt on the original BLM area and we enjoyed many hunts with many of you who became our good friends. Meeting all of you who did hunt with Jim Kriegh or who met him at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show is what made him the happiest and made the find worthwhile to him. Jim was also pleased to have donated his time for the mapping and scientific information his find afforded the meteorite world.

Re: [meteorite-list] Gold Basin & multiple meteorite finds
Hello Everyone, Another interesting note on multiple meteorite find area's is the habit for the multiple finds to be L chondrites. Such as in Gold Basin and the Atacama desert, each place has been hunted very well and for a period of several years. A rash, and likely untrue, thought might be that H chondrites, weather into L's. I don't so much think that myselfbut gives one something to think about at that next stoplight. Mark Bostick www.meteoritearticles.com

Re: [meteorite-list] Gold basin weather
Tom and list, The reverse side of that will be that it will start out in the low 30's upper 20's every morning. Also just after sunrise there will be a breeze as the temperature inversion takes place. The air temps will drop 3-10 degrees until the sun is fully risen. Take this from a 20 year veteran, I have experienced all areas of Arizona, do not take this state lightly, the weather and terrain can be dangerous if you do not prepare. Arizona weather can change quickly, dress accordingly. The inversion in the morning will definitely make it much colder after the sun rises for a half hour or so then it was before the sun came up. Bring warm clothes, dress in layers. Good boots are a must, and have lots of fresh water. Even though it will not be hot, water is always a must. It might be a good idea to bring a loud whistle for signalling, in case one gets lost. I hope I can get up there and enjoy the hunt with you all, if not please be safe and good hunting.

Re: [meteorite-list] Gold Basin
Hi Rhett and all, Recently while cutting some Dimmitt slices I ran into a CM inclusion. It spanned four slices! This measured 13 mm by 12 mm by about 16 mm long. I asked Dr. Rubin if he would be interested in the piece and he is interested in seeing a thinsection of it. I'll send a picture file to someone who can post it on their web site for all to see (Rhett?). This is truly an awesome piece and one of the reasons I think that Dimmitt is one of the most over looked interesting meteorites of all times. --AL __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
