[meteorite-list] Sanding and Polishing Paper Grits - need some

[Pete Pete]

 Eggs and grits. I like grits, too. How do you cook your grits? Do you like them regular, creamy or al dente?

>> Good Morning everybody,

>>

>> After reading through the various posts on the subject,

>> private correspondence,

>> media reports, field photos, coordinates and information

>> streaming in from

>> Morocco, I personally have arrived at the conclusion that

>> Tamdakht is a

>> meteorite fall, which is much better documented than

>> similar events of the

>> past. I appreciate the work the Morrocan enthusiasts,

>> hunters and dealers have

>> accomplished. Particularly as they were able to locate the

>> fall site before the

>> heavy rains in mid January.

>>

>> Philippe Thomas was already so kind to share information on

>> his website and I

>> think he did a great job in giving an accurate picture. I

>> too had the fortune

>> to receive 1st hand reports from the field from our

>> Moroccan friends and I have

>> compiled these in the report published here:

>>

>> http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/meteorite%20tamdaght%202.htm

>>

>> The report also contains the English translation of the

>> article in "Al Masah"

>> from December 28. Note that the article speaks of a similar

>> fireball sighting

>> in Tunesia from December 18. The Tunesian fireball also

>> produced seismic shock

>> waves. This may become interesting should fresh finds from

>> Tunesia become

>> public in the near future.

>>

>> I may add a few personal thoughts on issues discussed here

>> on the list,

>> regarding the Tamdakht fall and its recovery:

>>

>> "the impact was heard"

>>

>> Several witnesses, including those interviewd by the

>> newspaper "Al Masah"

>> stated that a "seismic shock wave was heard and the

>> ground was shaking at the

>> "collision of the celestial body with a

>> mountain." At that time the location of

>> the potential touchdown was still unknown. It is most

>> probable that eye

>> witnesses, unfamiliar with meteoritic phenomena, presumed

>> that such sounds

>> could only be caused by an explosion due to an impact.

>> Anybody who has ever

>> done an interview with an eyewitness of a meteorite fall

>> will recognize this

>> assumption as it is quite common.

>>

>> "the crater vs. impact pit issue"

>>

>> There has been some confusion regarding field images from

>> the Tamdakht area. It

>> is very common to hear "pit" or "hole"

>> translated as "crater". We had that with

>> the Hosur fall and the Bassikounou fall, where eye

>> witnesses and official

>> sources reported "craters" that were in fact an

>> impact pits, or impact holes.

>> This is particularly an issue when reports in Arab or

>> French are translated

>> into English, but there are probably a number of other

>> languages that do not

>> provide capability to distinguish between both terms

>> precisely.

>>

>> "chondrules vs no chondrules"

>>

>> Anyone who had the chance to study material of the Tamdakht

>> fall will agree

>> that the material differs enough from the known Mahgreb

>> falls to distinguish it

>> from other material circulating. Most fractured surfaces

>> show chondrules,

>> although they are usually small (1-2mm) and are quite

>> fading with the

>> surrounding matrix. Some fractured surfaces show

>> slickensides on which there

>> are no chondrules to see, which explains the comment of a

>> honored list member,

>> who did not find chondrules on the fractured surfaces of

>> his specimen. Any

>> larger polished cut surface will show well defined

>> chondrules in good contrast.

>>

>>

>> We will continue the report on our website with additional

>> informatio and I am

>> looking forward to hear impressions on the new material

>> from Tucson.

>>

>> Thanks for your interest
