Hello list,
Some of you may recall that about 2 months ago I put out a request for a
source of tektites. My reason for needing them was to raise money for the
Greensboro Astronomy Club. Well, I obtained a nice supply of tektites, and
along with some NWAs (unclassifieds and some nice NWA 4293
Well, our meteorite classification service is not
going quite as well as planned. When we started we
were hoping for a 3 week turnaround but was soon told
that the microprobe results would be over a month so
we were expecting six weeks turnaround.
Unfortunately we have yet to get microprobe results

Norbert,
I do not have much to back this up, but I have been told that electronic
scales can be "influenced" by a nearby fluorescent light fixture that has
been turned on. This would imply that an incandescent light, natural
sunlight, or some other light source that did not involve the use of

Hi Norbert,
Probably better than the NET, is to check out the ones you
see people using at the Tucson show and write down the
type and model of the one you like best. People will readily
tell you what they like and don't like about theirs, how much
it costs, etc. On the net, there are a million
Hello Marcin,
I store my slides in the small(~8.5 x 11 cm)Riker boxes. One can place 3
slides lenghtwise and two sideways and they fit almost exactly.
This is not the most efficient way to store slides in terms of space but I
like it because it lets me see and appreciate the slices and their

Hi All,
Something to consider when weighing meteorites to the milligram is
that if the specimen is more than a gram or two, the humidity and
porosity of the specimen will affect it weight. I had a talk with
Blaine Reed about this a while ago. He mentioned that sometimes he
sells something at one w

Hello Norbert,
I for one would like to hear your final conclusion. I have considered
buying such a scale for some time. I have been too busy, or too lazy if I
am to be honest, to do my homework and would love to benefit from your
efforts. I am sure I'm one of many on the list that has considered b
Thanks Michael, your comments surely help. The scales I had in mind are all
in the 100$ range, like you said, and they are small portable instruments.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to look around on the net to find out which one is
the most accurate of these.
And before I forget it: I'd also like to t
Greetings all,
Those who know me may be aware I have been struggling
with an illness that includes a bad cough and weakness for a few
months. I have gone to a lung specialist for medication and last
night spent the night in a "sleep center" studying my brain waves
and breathing patterns (V

Hi all -
Considering the release of Mel Gibson's new movie
"Apocalypto", I think you might enjoy the following
piece I did years ago for the Cambridge Conference.
Please feel free to share it with your friends.

I have had two small meteorite mailings disappear in the last few months. Both
were sent
via the USPS. One was a purchase and the seller was kind enough to offer a
refund. I
offered to split the loss and it was done. The other was a gift that never
arrived. Not
sure if it really got sent
Hi Norbert,
You write, "I'm looking for an affordable but precise digital
pocket scale." In some ways, the qualities you seek are mutually
exclusive. You want:
1) Portable
2) "Precise" (a variable term)
3) "Affordable" - also a variable term.
Let me share my own experience regarding
Hi,
My wife saw the bolide and we are in Pocatello, Idaho, about 200 miles
directly north of Salt Lake City (if that helps anyone compiling such
things).
Cheers,

Ed,
Your comment about that diving from elevated heights "the water
becomes awful hard" stirred a question in me that has been nagging me
for some time.
I have heard jumping into water at 100 feet can result in breaking
your ankles and that at 300 feet the human body reacts to water
Hi Mike,
Sorry for the problems you and Jim are having - hope they
resolve easily and quickly.
You DID bring up a point regarding which I have been very
concerned: I have been told by USPS, UPS & Fed Ex that I would
never be able to collect on insurance for a meteorite because it is
