Meteorwrong? Meteorite Education Chat, Iron Carbonaceous Rare Meteorites, Mars Perseverance, Space
Ғылым және технология
We added a new weekly feature to the Hangouts. Each week a participant will give a brief report as we make 12 stops along a tour of our Solar System. The first ‘victim / volunteer’ was Ron Metchis who hit a home run with a “Tour Guide” approach to sell us timeshares on Kepler-10b. If you don’t know about Kepler-10b, watch and “like” this video. *Great job Ron!!
We deep-dive into a possible meteorite submitted by a KZread viewer. Is it a meteorite or a meteorwrong? Watch a video of my initial assessment and hear the final answer. This one was professionally cut into a large end cut and about 7 slices.
Mike Kelly had a huge haul to show off this week! The haul included; a highly vesicular glass Henbury impactite from Australia, NWA 1912 a Mesosiderite-B2 (1 of 7 classified) with a very small TKW of just 13.5g, Guanaco an Iron, IIG (1 of 6 classified) from Chile, NWA 4360 a Rumuruti R3.6 subtype (1 of 4 classified) with only 309g TKW, Nadiabondi is an H5 witnessed fall from Burkina Faso with provenance back to Professor J Otto who did the mineralogy as listed in MetBull, NWA 032 a 1 of 19 classified Lunar Basalt (the youngest ever found ~2.8 Ga based on radiometric dating), and finally a really rare Shergottite with picritic basalt (ultramafic) characteristics. Mike hit a collection milestone with his 600th piece! It is a yet to be classified Eucrite from John Higgins. Congrats!!
Iron meteorites are classified by chemical composition and their different metallic crystalline structures. Last week Ron showed his Turgut (Iron-ung from Turkey) with the “finest octahedrite” pattern. This week he contrasts that with a remarkable 106g slice of NWA 11106 (Iron, IAB-MG octahedrite) with an extremely coarse grain (large crystals) he obtained from Mike Miller. I use my 871g thick wedge of Campo de Cielo to demonstrate that the crystal size can vary wildly on both sides of the same slice.
The Mars Perseverance Rover is set to descend and land on the surface of Mars in 8-days (on Feb 18th 2021). We watch and discuss a really cool landing site flyby of Jezero Crater produced by JPL. We plan to follow and provide updates of the two year long mission to search for proof of ancient life on the Red Planet.
Maxime Denoncin from Belgium shared more microscope pictures and video including an Aba Panu (L3 Nigeria witnessed fall from 2018) with a beautiful inclusion - a super cooled impact melt. He offers a detailed explanation of the Widmanstätten pattern in his Seymchan sample and the surprise he found on the slice. We also examined the ultra-black and glossy fusion crust on Gourara 003, my Eucrite-mmict classification. Photos: JaH 640 (LL5), NWA 3118 (CV3), Tarda (C2-ung), NWA 7325 pair (Achondrite-ung), JaH 900 (L5) - at 780g, this is Maxime’s largest collection item.
Marco Gaisser from Germany showed us his very first oriented meteorite, a complete 16g NWA heatshield Chondrite with a hard roll over lip. The next NWA Chondrite’s face is full of radial flow lines. But it is unusually flat in front and weights 277g. I loved his 535g oriented heatshield that again is just full of radial flow lines.
Andries Goedhart in the Netherlands focused on sharing some of his Carbonaceous meteorites and several ‘type namesakes’ with us. They are rare, old, hard to get, and mainly European meteorites. The chemical Group namesake falls are such scientifically different and important meteorites that a new Group of meteorites is created and named after them like Mighel (CM), Vigarano (CV), and Orgueil (CO).
Pat Brown showed us a NWA Chondrite with lots of regmaglypts, an Allende slice, and some electronic scale equipment. We discussed calibration weights. FREE book download recommendation: ‘The Buchwald Handbook of Iron Meteorites’ is at: evols.library.manoa.hawaii.ed...

As a knife enthusiast who is beginning to learn about meteorites, the heating of your knife to do the test was like nails on a chalkboard. You just completely ruined the temper of the steel, making it softer. It will probably be more difficult, if not impossible, to sharpen it to its original glory, and the tip will probably bend after any hard use. Blade destruction aside, I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I very much appreciate the time and effort you all put into these videos.

Thank you for your feedback and for watching our channel! I can appreciate your enthusiasm for knives and your interest in meteorites. What about meteorite knives? Regarding the heating of the knife in our video, I understand your concerns about the potential impact on the temper of the steel. I want to clarify that we used a low-quality knife for the test that was not of significant value and was not intended for regular use. We also did not intend to promote or encourage anyone to heat their knives as part of meteorite testing. I appreciate your support and hope that you continue to learn from our channel. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know.

It's astonishing just how humble & polite you and the buds are(Ron Topher& Mike I'm thinking particularly). Much love. I love the bit where you said you can admit that i. Order to know you either have to originate the idea or be taught W/E. The embarrassment ppl fear actually prevented them from living. Making the information readily available at Tophers knowledge(power) hour. Because I can't tell you how many prestigious universities, Aerospace companies, even our money grubbing friends(you know who) tend to keep his information, offer misdirection in an attempt to swindle a property owner & keep prices high & competition low, so you break over state the odds with correct grasp on a vast subject. 1 major university even has a chart which I initially found to be handy however when I started looking at the thousands and thousands of photos, I noticed all the rare peculiarities were eliminated. So i set out on my own and a certified geologist acknowledged that at least one of my rocks is a worthy candidate to be examined closer. Also how different a rock looks before being cleaned, cut, & polished. Not only that but the various melt stages that one particular Stone can exhibit, different starting points having remealted or not. A true nature boy, as I consider myself, is just happy to be in touch with mother nature. So it's not only physically stimulating, it's mentally challenging to because there's so much to learn about, and then it spiritually cathartic. Especially when you take Schrodinger's approach and you see that until you determine any suspected rocks origin,you both are and aren't rich. Simultaneously. You'll never know unless you open that box of chocolates & what the hell is inside that rock. Sand blown, terrestrialization, rare inclusions, i spent about a yr + a half like nose deep in a book or website reading the same thing over + over. Well just thought I'd over share again when it was originally about props turned into shading the Shady. What I'm trying to say is thanks for doing the right thing when afforded a chance

For anyone watching the meteorite wrong portion...that was not an attempt to fake a meteorite by attaching something and trying to pass it as a real fusion crust. I now fully get the frustration on both sides dealing with analyzing new material...good luck to all those people who try to help with the time they have available...thank you for being kind Topher...Dave

Dave, I (we) did not mean to imply any trickery on your part. We have seen painted rocks before. Beau wrote me this morning "I still think it’s phosphate and not brushed on lol." - He is the one who commented during the knife burn test and I have no reason to not believe his info. I (we) always want it to be a meteorite. This one was worth looking into. I will be mailing it, the slices, and a gift meteorite back soon. -Topher

Topher you were right, this is a cool dude. I do a lot of fossil identification where I am at, and 99.9% of the time when you say, “sorry it’s not a dinosaur egg” they come at you with all the reasons your wrong. They wanted validation not your opinion. It’s nice to not see this for a change. Dave I hope this doesn’t dissuade your from collecting meteorites and that this isn’t the last we hear from you. We need more people like you with an open mind in the hobby (and the world in general). I’ll tell you being a newbie in this hobby, it is filled with super nice and giving people like Topher. I’m a man of many hobbies (according to my wife lol) but this is the only hobby where I enjoy the community as much as the actual material being collected. Hopefully we see you around in the future.

Is their any qualifiers one needs to get on a hang out? I'd send a video or a transcript/ topic outlines. I'm basically like to share how I became interested in the sciences and what meteorite hunting does for me. It keeps me physically active, lifting rocks connecting with Mother Nature. It keeps me mentally active as I'm always learning about a new facet to the vast field that is meteoritics, and it's spiritually cathartic to be living in the universe that lives Within us, our home, our sun. our cells. Holding ruminants of a planetary body or even a planet cast off long ago, from some unknowable place of origin. Our orgin presumably. It's just so inspiring. Even if I turn up nothing it doesn't matter because I'll be applying Schrodinger's equation which sees me simultaneously rich and poor until I open the box, the Box being a metaphor for bringing my suspects in for closer examination.
