Thanks, No official word on classification but it's probably an L6, maybe LL6. On Wed, Jun 29, 2016 at 5:39 PM, Galactic Stone & Ironworks wrote: > Congrats Ruben and everyone else on the team. Given the difficult > terrain, this is an outstanding find. And kudos to

Congrats Ruben and everyone else on the team. Given the difficult terrain, this is an outstanding find. And kudos to the Apache Nation for allowing the team to come in and hunt their land. Any preliminary word on what the type might be? Best regards and happy huntings, MikeG On 6/29/16, Ruben

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites Recovered in Arizona from June 2 Fireball

This is a great story of a collaboration between the Apache Nation, ASU meteorite scientists and professional meteorite hunters. It shows the scientific community, the land owners and the collecting community working together at their best. Thanks to all involved for sharing this. John On Wed,

Some reports indicate that the deeply cold-soaked main mass of the 104 kg Colby, WI, L6 -- which was recovered quickly after its witnessed fall on a warm and very humid July 4 in 1917 -- actually acquired a coating of frost within minutes of being excavated. Mark - Original Message

Re: [meteorite-list] Hot vs Cold again...wasmMeteorite Crashes Through Thailand House Roof

The fusion crust will likely be warmer than the interior when the meteorite hits. Not because of residual heat from melting, but because for the last few tens of seconds of the fall the meteorite was being blasted with near-ambient temperature air. It was starting to warm up to ambient- it

Re: [meteorite-list] Hot vs Cold again...wasmMeteorite Crashes Through Thailand House Roof

Elton...I agree with most of thatbut the cooling starts straight after hot flight miles up where the air temperature is around -30 -50 deg...surely any heat in the fusion crust would dissipate very quickly up there and then the interior temperature would then equalize to bring it down to well

[meteorite-list] Hot vs. Cold again

Have to agree with Rob and Chris on this...as I have tried the experiment myself.Put a rock in the freezer until stable temps...then put a blow torch on it for 5 seconds...then put it back in the freezer for 3 minutes (or freezer for 2 and on the counter for 1).It will be cold. The rock will
