All of the taxpayer's money spent on the shrimp on a treadmill study would have gone a long way to study meteorites. A link to my favorite Mantis shrimp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj-yAHTfVeE I guess we know what bureaucrats think is more important. An impact from space or the jogging

Hi Bob, You are right, I did not read the articles. I was just responding to this thread on the List. But as it stands, the OC's recovered from the Southwest Deserts don't appear to be something that most Universities are currently looking to study or add to their collection . If they were,

Hi Sonny, Apparently, you haven't read any of my articles where I clearly pointed to the top of the pyramid where the funding for meteorite studies are rationed-out, and why there is a lack of funding for classifying US meteorites. I commiserate with the classifiers on this lack of funding

Sonny asked and I see no reason not to provide the find data and location. Here are some images of my wife, Zann's first cold find in 2004. It still has not been recorded in the Metoeritical Bulletin after more than a decade even though the data was submitted multiple times! We needed to

No Larry, There actually is a problem. John's "opinion" is a common misconception that I even held until I personally learned of this recent trend. This is a concern that others have shared with me, and has prompted me to write on this subject in three separate articles, which essentially

Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew afind.

I gave up on a classification that was submitted in 2005. It was a fresh type 3 oriented chondrite that my wife, Zann found. It was the very first meteorite she ever recovered and it was a cold find. It would have been serial number one but I think the unsavory practice of embargoing dry

I'd love to see a photo also, but I live in Philadelphia so I won't be seeing this in person. :-)   That aside, I'm assuming from your post that this is a "chondrite" native to the USA, and not just another NWA.   I have about 25 NWA's undergoing classification now, and I have more I'd like

Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew a find.

Hi John, List, You may be right about not having a problem getting a US chondrite classified, however, if it was found in the Mohave desert it is likely to get a number instead of a name. Unfortunately, Nom Com will likely lump it in with the nearest DCA, I'm wondering how much longer it will
