Durable NASA Rover Beginning Ninth Year of Mars Work
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
January 24, 2012
Eight years after landing on Mars for what was planned as a three-month
mission, NASA's enduring Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is working
PS: I think a research discount for Tissint like what Darryl proposed
is a welcome gesture. Some research groups want to have their own
permanent specimens, substantial in quantity, and archival. In such
cases it makes sense to purchase. When we loan material it is exactly
that, on loan, and so mus
Aloha Everyone,
Following up to a previous message in which I indicated that I was
preparing a list and map of dealer locations, this information is now
available on the Tucson page. You will find a link to a an online
Google Map which I have created and labeled with the locations of

Hi, All,
I remember seeing years ago a diagram of the regions around our infant Sun
where different classifications of meteorites are thought to be formed;
carbonaceous in the outer regions, etc.
I would be grateful if anyone could send me the jpeg, or a link to where it is
currently hiding
The Institute of Meteoritics has already distributed samples of our
Tissint material to researchers at the Carnegie Institution for
"organics" studies and to the Univ. of Tuebingen for magnetics
measurements. That is one of the main goals of our Meteorite Museum --
to loan researchers our meteorite
Dear List Members,

It should be the largest remaining piece of a known meteorite,
certainly not a complicated issue.

Hi Jeff,
I have always used your definition. Unfortunately the term “main mass” has
become a marketing term meaning “the largest know sample”

A main mass list? Heck, there isn't even a "main mass" definition
everybody agrees on! Here's mine:
"An individual stone/iron or piece of an individual stone/iron that
comprises the majority (> 50%) of the known mass of a named meteorite."

Hi Bob and all,
I believe you misinterpreted the Rocks From Space Picture of the Day about Jim
having the New Concord main mass and he would be the first to say so. The main
mass of New Concord weighs 103 pounds (46.8 kg) and is in the collection at
Marietta College, Ohio. In fact, Jim has ph
Hi list,
After looking at Jim Stropes photos of the New Concord main mass (Rocks
from Space Picture of the Day a couple days ago) that he got in a trade with
