Hi, List,
While the English Teenager Meteorite Impact certainly doesn't
seem to be anything but a news story, look up the Noblesville,
Indiana meteorite in the Catalog.
A teenaged boy was standing in his front yard staring up at
the sky and a meteorite whirred over his head and went
Hi,
I just listened to an interview of Siobhan Cowton on NPR's
morning edition. The interview definitely left the impression that she
was hit by a meteorite. The story is being treated as a human interest
item, not as a science story. Siobhan Cowton stated the she was told the

Hello,
I recently recieved an e-mail on the Admire Pallasite crystals I have on
eBay. Basically asking why the Admire metal likes to rust away leaving
mostly just stained olivine crystals. In the e-mail the meteorite
collector, referred to the Imilac skeletons as an opposite. The metal
Saw this article on the web.
Teenager 'struck by meteorite'
A North Yorkshire teenager is convinced she has
been hit by a meteorite which could be billions of
years old.
Siobhan Cowton says the small lump of warm rock
fell from the sky over Northallerton and landed on
her foot.
The imilac pieces had olivine, many of them have holes where the olivine has
been weathered out.
the olivine is softer and the blowing sand of Chile eats the olivine away.
It is not water weathering, The Atacama is the driest place on earth.

Hello Mike (and list),
Yes, the Atacama is the driest place in the world. I think I remember
hearing places where it hadnt rained in over 500 years. Dean Bessey had
some artifacts made of wood that were remarkable well preserved after
thousands of years. A few grave markers he had (or
Hello list, It would seem that some like Nantan. I don't like mine, It is solid, but mostly rust! If you guys like Nantan, I will gladly trade my 150gram( my scale only goes to 120 grams) for just about anything! ( small individuals, small slices heyI would even take a couple grams of Zagami)
I just heard the same story. The thing that made me laugh was when Siobhan
Cowton was asked whether she thought being hit by a meteorite was good luck
or bad luck, her answer was Good luck, because you get lots of publicity!
Hmm

Hello Mark and list,
Glorieta Mtn is not a normal pallasite in that the vast majority of the
samples by weight show no pallasitic texture at all. Most of the mass
appears to be a relatively ordinary iron. Only a fraction of the mass is
pallasitic. If you picture a meteoroid that is mostly
Hello,
It is simply amazing to see how much ''air time'' a non-event can garner.

few months back.

I should have noted that my first post concerning this subject was NOT
intended as an attack on them. I am presently trying to understand if it a
matter of a piss-poor Postal system losing/stealing three (3) packages, or a
company that may have occassional internal problems
Hello all
In this bastard month I have many packs no arrive, I
am under wait 2 packs from Cottingham sent over 20
days ago, 1 pack from Matt Morgan sent 24 May 2002!!!
and others little packs with important meteorites. Is
a totaly disaster this month. Probably is good no send
packs in the months
Agreed. There is something very odd happening at the US post office.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I ordered a couple of things a month ago
that have yet to arrive!

Has anybody had any experience (good or bad) with the New England
Meteoritical Services? I ordered a micro specimen over a month ago, and
supposedly one was sent to me, but never arrived. A second one was
supposedly sent, but again never arrived. A third was going to be sent last
week, but

Thanks everybody for the reply. I had a feeling that the Post Office was the
likely culprit. I would suggest to all that if you ship a package, do not
put anything that would imply meteorite, meteoritical, mineral, or the
like on the package. That certainly makes for an easy target for
Hi Randy,
I only had good experiences with Russ Kempton, and his NEMS - Russ
is certainly one of these silent giants in this business, a real
man of class. Did he send you the micros via registered or via
regular mail? Maybe it's indeed a problem within the US postal
service...
Best,
Norbert
Hello Randy,
Sorry to hear of your and the other member's missing mail. As to
NEMS--Russ is one of the quietest dealers around and is sometimes away
from the office. He has always delivered for me and promptly. I trust
him completely. In all my time here on MC, I've never heard anything but
List Members,
Thanks to those of you that offered your advice in solving this
problem. Bill Russell came up with the solution and wired my buddy Bob
Holmes a missing file named ctl3d.dll. Bob added the file to the CatMet

We have the same problem here in HI, but it's not restricted to
meteorites. Anything that looks interesting has about a 1 in 5 chance of
getting 'cockaroached' between here and there. For some reason, mail from
Canada seems to have a particularly rough time getting here -- just ask
Dean!
Hmm.. There is always a delay because of customs since 9 /11. But They tell
me when they are sent and it takes that long to get here. I guess a lot of
stuff to check.

Good evening Folks,
I was very concerned today when a customer wrote that he hadn't received the specimen I shipped 19 days ago to Germany via Airmail Letter Post.
From the sounds of the shipping complaints coming from the list tonight I am in part relieved and, in part, frustrated. September
Hi,

Mail from the US/Canada normally takes around 10 days

Hi Keith, My book Meteorites A to Z says it was a find back in 1576 ! That
would make it 426 years ago!
