Hello everyone!
Just to a quick note to say 'thanks again' to the
several list members who took advantage of my Sudbury Impact Specimens
offer.
Now is anyone interested in specimens of the rarest

If so, I have SEVEN Wabar Pearls in a clear padded

I have been to his website witch is quite interesting and everyone should
cruise on by. However, I must take exception to his trashing of dark side
of the moon. We all know that it is just a figure of speech but it does
have a nice ring to it. Much more so than far side of the moon. Even

Tunguska, Siberia was the site of a blast with the explosive
power of 1000 atomic bombs that flattened 2100 square kilometres
of forest in 1908. Scientists have blamed an asteroid, but
remarkably they have found no crater, no evidence of meteorite
fragments and no significant chemical traces.

Hi Ron All,
As far as I can tell, then, this should be conclusive proof that the
event WAS a meteorite - specifically, a common chondrite - rite?
Is this, then, accepted as an established fact by the scientific branch
of the meteoritics community?

Hello list:
I have posted 5 micros of the Dashouguz, Turkmenistan, H5, chondrite on ebay
for Sunday night (July 28). This meteorite is listed in Bulletin 86 and is
similar to Bjurbole, Finland, and Saratov, Russia, in coloration,
chondrules, and friability.

I've often wondered... since the moon has virtually no atmosphere to slow
down impactors, wouldn't a far higher percentage of material be converted to
energy and unidentifiable components upon impact with the moon?
Or could the dynamics of the ejection and capture process result in fairly

TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- Three space center employees and another man were charged in an alleged plot to sell stolen moon rocks from the Apollo missions for $1,000 to $5,000 a gram, the FBI said.

Hi list. I just got the latest issue of Sky and Telescope. In it, it has a
picture of the 40 gram half cut of the NWA 011 meteorite. It also has a
short article in it. It is very interesting. This elusive rock is sitting
in a Japanese rock place. They have it all.
I have to say I really love reading this type of
announcement. I especially love those with invisible
matter. I like to dissect them to see if they have
a consistent world view and where they are illogical.
It is a good thinking exercise and a heck of a lot of fun.
In this case I have

Does anyone have books about tektites or articles about tektites that
they want to sell?
Also does anyone have glass or breccia from meteorite crater; glass
from odessa crater; or shatter cones from Sierra Madera? Thanks in

Hi All
I recently had a TV reporter from Utah(probably Salt Lake City) email me about doing a story on local meteorite collectors. I couldn't think of any. If anybody from Utah wants their 15 minutes of fame let me know and I will give you his email address.

Dr Robert Foot suggests that many of the missing comets could be
made of an exotic material called 'mirror matter', a new type of
invisible matter...
If the events of Tunguska and Jordan are
the results of mirror space-bodies, then tonnes of mirror
matter might lie hidden just below the surface

I believe that the person who said you were spamming is very intolerant, and
judgmental. Their accusations should be taken with a grain of salt, or
