Hi Michael,
I am very particular about from whom I buy meteorites.
It would be helpful if you would post the key to who has placed meteorites
in your auction, on the auction page. It looks like you only have two
people so far, and I think I can figure out who they are, but there are
certain indiv
Hi Mike,
Actually, that is a good question. Aside from personal ethics, I don't know
of any objective analysis which can verify a given location. Anyone else?

Hello Everyone,
I don't recall doing this and if I have not it has been a major oversight on
my part but I want to thank Mark for posting these newspaper articles. It
know it takes time and effort on Mark's part and I really appreciate all
that Mark puts into these postings.
Thanks again, Mark.

Hello Everyone,
Many thanks to Art, who pointed me in the right direction for my bumper

Anyone seen that one?

Hi David,
Well, shoot, man. Just take an ordinary H6 or L6 and place it in the oven
on the highest setting for a few hours and you will have an H7 or L7 :-)
Just ran that by my wife. She was not amused.
I love science humor. I am still looking for that bumper sticker that
reads, "186,000 mile
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to share with everyone some recent acquisitions. I love these
specimens, not just because they are fine examples of meteorites, but also
because they were relatively inexpensive.
First up, here is one of my favorite meteorites, a 56 gram
chunk (fragment) of Allende.

For some reason, half my posts don't make it to the list. I will try this

Hi Mark,
Yes, I was under the impression that Gardners in the, for example, desert SW
US hated this stuff because it was so difficult to penetrate (cement-like)
and that water would not penetrate it.

Just got in from a professional conference in Atlanta. Boy, do I hate
driving in Atlanta. The posted speed limit on I-85 in downtown is 55 mph
but if you do less than 70 mph you get run over!

I believe CR chondrites have a relatively high O2 concentration and combined
with the metal rich aspect, would the brownish orange coloration be due to
oxidation?

Hello Everyone,
I have seen several meteorite auctions which list shipping charges from
Finland as being $30.00 - $35.00 (USD). My question is, particularly for
those list members who happen to live in Finland, does it really cost

I had unsubscribed from the list last summer because of all the "noise." I

Hello Everyone,
I am an enthusiast of the US space program and I
finally got around to reading Gordon Cooper's book Leap of Faith. Cooper
was the pilot of Faith 7, the last Mercury flight and the command pilot of
Gemini 5. On pages 125-126, he talks about being hit by "meteorites" on

Hi Thomas and List,
I must say, I am appalled.
I agree with Thomas. Personal attacks are one
thing, but this amounts to outright fraud, which is something every meteorite
collector and dealer shoud be concerned with. Unless we all own or have
access to electron microprobes and such equi

Hello Everyone,
Determining whether meteorite falls has remained
constant over a given period of time is more difficult than it first
appears. At least other two variables have to be considered.

Hi Bernd and List,
Bernd, you are too modest and unassuming to acknowledge this but you are a
class act. As you say, it is sometimes hard to clean up a mess but at least
you don't just walk away from one.
Hoping to read many more posts from you...

I agree as well.
I use sniping a good bit.
But then, I don't complain when I snipe and lose (which was my point)

No, I am RIGHT.
If you place your maximum bid the first and only time, then you should walk
away happy from the deal each and every time.
If you win, you the item at YOUR price.
If you lose, you may be disappointed over not getting the item, but you walk
away with the satisfaction knowing that y
Hi Mike,
Just bid your highest bid the first time and forget it. If you win, you
win. If you don't, via sniping or otherwise, well you weren't going to bid
any higher anyway so what difference does it make whether the other person's
bid was entered 10 hours, 10 minutes, or 10 milliseconds before
