All, The eBay auction for the "Vintage Meteorite Ball" (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1083831262) was removed before it was complete. I don't know if I had anything to do with it, but I sent e-mail to the seller and encouraged him to have it checked out. This guy is _local_

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor-Wrong Gone from Ebay

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor-Wrong Gone from Ebay

Hi , I noticed this also, But is it proper to cancel an auction minutes before it is to end ? And in this auction it was minutes before it was to end. I would be very upset if this happened to me if I were bidding ! It makes me wonder ? An auction can be canceled at any time buy the seller ?

[meteorite-list] Wrangel Island Meteorites (from R Harvey with permission)

Hi, the arctic has a lot of generic problems as sites for meteorite concentrations by ice- fast moving, young ice, relatively warm conditions (Antarctica is on average between 20 and 50 deg. colder during the year for given latitude and altitude), higher accumulation rates. In my humble opin

Re: [meteorite-list] Eagle Butte - One more time

One party heard from... I sent off my chunk of "Eagle Butte" to Dr. Moore at ASU, carefully not giving him any but the broadest of details so he couldn't be accused (!) of bias. I expect he has many more interesting specimens to examine, but in the end, the analysis will probably be the same. Se

[meteorite-list] The much-maligned Nantan

I've been looking over my meteorite display at the library where I work, and despite the humid, salty air here, my Nantan hasn't shed one pinprick of rusty shale. It's still just lightly covered in orange, which may have protected it from further corrosion. The Sikhote-Alin, on the other hand, i

1. Dessicant packets, preferably the type that can be recharged w/o forming gases noxious to your meteorites (see a previous discussion from about 6 months ago.) Tuck one in with each meteorite you value. 2. Display boxes with really good seals. 3. Sealants to be applied directly to your met

[meteorite-list] Eagle Butte -- a parting blast

Since Anne has noted the list is quiet :-) I just got my sample back from ASU, and the verdict is that it is indeed slag, like anyone is surprised. Kudos to them for a speedy analysis, and I'm really sorry to have wasted their time with something I was 99% sure was junk, but thank you for the
