Re: [meteorite-list] Thin Section Slide Size

Hello, The thin-sections I have made in the US are all 27x46mm, and they seemed to work fine in the Electron Microprobe of the University of Arizona. I do know that thin-sections of this same size are also made for other instirutions. However I have seen larger and thicker thin-sections, but

Hi Matt, Ed all, While it is true that I, Anne Black, David New and everyone Else I know into meteorite Thin Sections have made 27 X 46 mm Thin sections, to say they are standard is not really accurate in Terms of thin sections across the board. Certainly this size is common, but

[meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake

Dear List Members, Just a note to warn meteorite hunters not to be too complacent. The most feared creature here in the Southwest is the Mojave Green Rattlesnake and rightfully so considering its venom is 75 times more deadly than that of a Cobra. You got about 1/2 hour to get anti-venom

Re: [meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake

Hi Adam, Good post. Everyone should carry a snake-bite kit when out hiking or prospecting in areas with venomous snakes. We have rattlesnakes down here in Florida and they congregate in areas of thick Palmetto bushes where they are impossible to see. When I was a kid and used to go hiking with

Re: [meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake

Hi List, What makes the venom of a Mohave Green so lethal is it's complex hemo/neuro cocktail of enzymes. It has a component that allows the venom to diffuse through human tissue quickly using the lymph and vascular systems. It takes away the ability of your red blood cells to carry oxygen

Re: [meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake

Hey Guido, List, Not sure the ice thing would be a good idea. The DoD, suggests that ice is a cause of amputation in snake bites (see link below). Also the CDC and WebMD discourages the use of ice in the treatment of snakebite. ...Don't use ice to slow the spread of the venom. Researchers

Re: [meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake

Hi Eric and List. Yeah! There are many who officially say not to use ice, but they have to give advice to the lowest common denominator of possible victim. The slightly smarter of us know you can freeze your limb. The purpose of the cooling is to slow the circulation of blood, venom and lymph

Re: [meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake

Another good point that people often don't think of is to remove jewelry on the affected limb. Rings especially. The swelling from a snakebite is unbelievable. A hand can get almost as big as a soccer ball. A ring left on will cost you that finger. Transport fast and call ahead if possible,

Hi all, those are nasty for sure. Two years ago down at Franconia I ran into this little guy. I was for sure spooked, and counted 10 rattles, which doesn't mean a whole lot, other than it's a big snake. Needless to say, I felt that those meteorites could wait another few months until cooler
