List,

While all the discussion has been going on about impacts, there is still
the dilemma of "impactors".

Those of you who are interested in thin sections, teaching about
meteorites, understanding meteorites better and so forth can definitely
learn something new from this teaching item. It took about 100 hours to
produce it and the help of 4 great scientists: Duncan Steel, David
Kring LPI; Steve Ostro, JPL; and the gentleman who invented the Torino
Scale - Richard Binzel of MIT.

Everybody on this list who is truly interested in meteorites usually
already knows about the Torino Scale, the meteorite involved in a
religion, and the Beehive Diagram.

This poster is available for shipment at the end of this week.

I also have Manson tsunami material that is certified. The Manson
structure is one of the largest in the USA and is located in of all
places, Iowa. This material comes from someone who was a friend of Gene
Shoemaker, back in the 90's, before his untimely death in Australia.
Its official name is "Crow Creek" and comes from southestern South
Dakota. PDF's or planar deformation features (shocked quartz) are
evident. Those of you who like thin sections should enjoy this. It is
probably by far rarer than the rarest breccia.

The meteorite collector is eternally interested in rare material. This
is probably one of the rarest materials on Earth.

The mother of all shattercones is available at:

and today only I will take $900 for it. It was a personal struggle
getting it down off the mountain.
