Camp Verde comes to mind, of which one side, the backbone as Laurence Garvie
calls it, seems to have been rubbed smooth. But taken its weight it could
hardly have been carried around by a medicine man. Since I have first seen it I
have always imagined someone taking it for its deceased child
The Havana beads are another example of not only seemingly lost material, I
can't locate them, but meteorites that were unquestionably gathered and altered
by Native Americans. They date back to the Hopewell culture.

I just saw Jim Wooddell's post about aluminum foil and the new CM
fall. It turns out that aluminum foil does react somewhat with
carbonaceous chondrite. Apparently the recommended storage material is
Teflon. This is what is used in NASA's Lunar Lab (Teflon bags and
gloves). Cold and dry (nitrogen)
Interesting though these are likely three different types of human
weathering (wearing).
w1: Here's a nice picture of the Canyon Diablo (Camp Verde iron) piece
in which listmembers can appreciate these comments regarding possible
handling (rubbing, perhaps along these line suggested something
Hi Carl and all!
This is an important topic as I think most experience hunters will comply
with sound advice. I brought this up because what I am seeing in the field
first hand does not appear to be working well at all! Now, it might if the
specimen is immediately placed in an additional
I was curious to know if the primary bolide breakup event was explosive or
simple fragmentation?
By explosive I mean at the time of the breakup, energy is converted somehow
that causes some pieces to alter their trajectory and shoot down to the
ground instead of following a normal parabolic
Strewn field workers have an arkane phrase for this phenomenon called,
blow-back, which is used to explain anomalies such as reverse size-grading,
or exceptionally large fragments at the very fine-end of an otherwise well
size-graded strewn-field.

Hi Mendy and Bob, Listees;
Yes, the explosion, which is not an explosion in a chemical sense,
does involve an altering of trajectory, rather than arbitrarily saying
toward the ground, theory goes it is in a direction perpendicular to
the trajectory due to energy of the differential pressure
Any energy injected into particles by some sort of explosive
fragmentation is depleted in a second or so. All the meteorites briefly
follow substantially parabolic paths, and then spend most of their time
falling perfectly vertically with respect to the prevailing wind. That
is, they carry
Patrick and I are still in Sutter's mill. Really a fun area and great people
here. Turns out that several meteorite dealer's live very close. I was shocked
to see Jay Buscio here yesterday. Haven't seen him in over 15 years. Looks like
many hunters have left but I am sure they will come back

Interesting, the handling by many somehow never occurred to me. I always
imagined just one person treating the meteorite as one of his own kids. Perhaps
Hi Doug and List,
Your comments about the 61kg Camp Verde iron call to mind a similar
thought I had about the Bonita Springs chondrite. Bonita Springs is a
42kg stone, and the current consensus is that the stone was
transported to it's eventual place of discovery in a pre-Calusa mound
in
Best of luck to all our friends in this historic strewnfield. I arrived
about an hour after Robert found the first piece on Tuesday and hunted for 5
full days. Despite getting skunked, the life experience and new friendships
forged are priceless. I already miss the fun dinners, afternoon pow wows,
Hello list.
I almost forgot about THIS !

I'll never forget the Hoover Meteorite Vacuum! Rob got a kick out of that!
THAT was funny!

My God, already one year
I still have strong memories of this fall
and was very happy for our Polish meteorite friends when it fell.
I still remember the cute little Emilia G. talking about the fall on Polish TV,
maybe a future meteorite scientist ;-)
Where is the main mass now?
Happy Birthday, and the whole story is here:

the handling by many [Canyon Diablo (Camp Verde)]
Conjectures of course on everyone' part, peppered by our own biases or
cultural assumptions (Would Native Americans even have the concept of
private property vs. community property for such a large relic?), which
is what makes it a great
hypothesis regarding Bonita Springs
Hi Mike, honestly, in the corrosive Florida coastal soils, it seems
almost too good to be true considering the meteorite has a lot of iron
through. Seems the finder may not have been an academic. You know
these tall tales that can develop when somebody
I'll look for a picture of it, but it is likely not in my present
location. I believe I posted a picture to the meteorite list though it
has surely been at least five years. The trophy-piece it is no longer
with the finder as of about 10 years ago. It is hazy in memory though
I documented
Regine inquired:
I too would like to know where this one is being kept. What baffles
me though, how does one get to the conclusion the meteorite had been
carried in a medicine bag? It doesn't sound implausible, but what are
the clues? Magic powder topping? Is there any further info?
Hello
Howdy ladies and gents
I have an important update for the Coloma fall. This may be my
last major update, but I think y'all will like it.
For the record, a 10-20 kg CM chondrite would be about a
quarter-meter in diameter. Salivating yet? I am.
Hi all -
The battle with the virus appears to have been won. My apologies to all who had
their time wasted with it.
Given the behavior of some people, I really don't want to speak publicly about
this. Perhaps privately with some of you in Tucson next year.
That said, perhaps the thing to do
Hi Marc,
I want to say thank you so much for your work. I appreciate that you put so
much effort into this particular fall and I hope that this will be a first
