I believe I did not describe properly what I was trying to say. The video link I sent clearly showed co2 gas being poured from a beaker. During the cold mars night a thin layer of co2 frost can form on a hillside. when daylight returns and thaws the frost, the recently sublimated co2 being cold

I'm pretty sure the piece sold as Estherville is not a meteorite as well. It certainly does not match up with my other Estherville pieces. I would like to know where this material originated. The labels are fake, and I am highly disappointed that this stuff has entered the market. Michael Farme

Hi Mike, all, As an Aussie, I can say with 100% absolute certainty that this isn't Murchison. It's not even close. In fact, I'm actually wondering it's a meteorite at all as it looks more like some type of porphyritic rock. The only meteorite I have seen that looks even remotely like this would be

Since you asked: "anyone reading this, feel free to speak up and tell us how this "Murchison" looks compared to real Murchison." Here is a picture of Murchison for comparison: http://www.impactika.com/catpix/ab745.jpg And is a picture of the crust of Murchison: http://www.impactika.com/c

Martin, I am sorry but this IS NOT Murchison, and the Estherville IS NOT Estherville. I emailed you regarding the Murchison and the fact that the photos clearly show an NWA type old carbonaceous chondrite only minutes after you posted to the list, and got no response. Anyone who has ever laid

Hi Graham and Steve: Technically, you are wrong--CO2 sublimates (turns from solid to gas) and does not evaporate (turns from liquid to gas). The triple point (where solid, liquid, and gas exist)of CO2 is 5.1 atmospheres. Since the "sea level" pressure on Mars is about 0.006 atmospheres, the atmosp

Hi Steve, Liquid CO2 cannot exsist as a liquid at atmospheric pressure. It must be pressurized above 60.4 psi to remain as a liquidso would it have ever flowed on Mars at all? Solid CO2 evaporates to gas on Earth and I would say it does the same on Marssomebody correct me there if I am wro

What is the composition of the pebbles? and other deposits? if there are not carbonates or other water soluable constiuentes then we may have to accept the flow of carbon dioxide as the cause of the water like erosion caused by the heating and cooling on mars. where is the bog iron and limeston
