I know Steve Arnold posts a bunch of emails, however what really annoys me
are the posts that follow when you have a problem with Steve just simply for
trying to be an active member of the meteorite community. He is as
enthusiastic as I wish I was about anything, and I think that's awesome.
In a book called Meteorites: a photographic study of surface features,
part 2 orientation By H.H. Nininger, publication No. 19 1981 printed
at ASU pages 44-45 there are 3 images of the stone before it was known
to be Martian. Though the images are in black and white they are of the
entire stone
Dear list- I have found a few iron oxide nodules in layers of Cambrien age
shale while digging trilobites in Nevada. I didn't think much of it at the
time. I'll have to dig them up from the garage and do a nickel test. It's
and interesting subject, and there are known meteorites recovered from
Like Michael, I live in San Diego and rust is a huge concern. I've used Bill
Mason's kit also with mixed results. I noticed the slight mistakes in the
instructions. I decided to do my neutralization step and final rinse step
before the alcohol bath and it seems to work fine. My Sikhote Alin's

Here's an interesting tid-bit about another large K belt object with a
circular orbit, making it more planet like than Pluto. It's kind of scary
to think that something that big could get missed for so long by so many
eyes to the
If anyone has some, or knows where to get some Shingle Springs specimens
please email me. It fell very near where I grew up, so I'd like to have a
piece, kind of like owning a stone that fell on your birthday. It's an
ungrouped Ataxite that was found in 1869 in Northern California not far
Hello list- I just got off the phone with Alan Rubin, and we were trying to
think of a really nice meteorite display near the Southern California area
where I could take a group of people. There are small exhibits at UCLA, and
the county museum in LA, and apparently Griffith Park is closed
I'm much too concerned with heating up my irradiated hamburger in my
microwave while talking on my cell phone, and drinking directly from the
faucet. Honestly, there must be a thousand more dangerous things that we do
everyday. I might have them swept with a Geiger counter, or place them on

Fred- The Komodo Dragon wasn't around 65 million years ago, and either were
crocodiles like the ones you see now. They have evolved to become a more
effeciant and smaller predator. So, can you think over any large Reptiles,
that have survived for at least the last 65 million years that are
Crocodilians, yes have been around for 100's of millions of years. Like I
was telling Fred, The crocodile of today that he was using as his example
didn't exist 65 million years ago. I'm not even sure how we got into this,
but it's kind of silly. Anyone you ask on the street will tell you
I think it's fairly obvious that a rabid deer chasing a dog that was
chasing a man all fell into the crater where they drowned.

I was browsing the web site for the Barringer crater, and I noticed that
there are no pictures of a meteorite on the whole site. Not one single
picture. I don't know about you people, but I think that's kind of weird and
a little bit funny.-Edward R. Hodges

Just image that there must be remnants of the Earth on the moon from
similar large earth impacts, and they might be from when the Earth was very
young. That is a rock I'd like to hold in my hand and look at. Well now that
I think of it, the moon may very well be that rock.- Edward R. Hodges

Last night at 8:47pm PST, myself and a friend witnessed a large blue
fireball while star gazing on Mt. Laguna at an altitude of 6000ft. It became
visible at 75 degree up from North/ Northwest horizon and became an intense
blue-white fireball with sparks of light at 30 degrees then disappeared.
While at Tucson I noticed a huge number of unclassified NWA's for sale. Some
lots were going for as little as $0.35 a gram. I noticed many people buying
unclassified specimens. To me an unclassified meteorite is just a rock,
basicilly worthless. Of course it is a meteorite, and it might even
