Hey Kids:
? Saw this video on the local news here in Atlanta today. I'm surprised they would show this without checking its veracity. Just goes to show you can't believe everything you hear or SEE!

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite

Hello everyone - my first post!

Not sure this specific link has been discussed? Additional info/insight from "Universe Today" (http://www.universetoday.com/; Apparently, not an April Fools' Day joke?):

http://www.universetoday.com/110963/norwegian-skydiver-almost-gets-hit-by-falling-meteor-and-captures-it-on-film/

Thanks for the list - Art, and participants. I have learned a lot from many contributors.

Best wishes...Jerry (Kentucky)

> Analysis of a prehistoric Egyptian iron bead with implications for the use and perception of meteorite iron in ancient Egypt

> AbstractTube-shaped beads excavated from grave pits at the prehistoric Gerzeh cemetery, approximately 3300 BCE, represent the earliest known use of iron in Egypt. Using a combination of scanning electron microscopy and micro X-ray microcomputer tomography, we show that microstructural and chemical analysis of a Gerzeh iron bead is consistent with a cold-worked iron meteorite. Thin fragments of parallel bands of taenite within a meteoritic Widmanst?tten pattern are present, with structural distortion caused by cold-working. The metal fragments retain their original chemistry of approximately 30 wt% nickel. The bulk of the bead is highly oxidized, with only approximately 2.4% of the total bead volume remaining as metal. Our results show that the first known example of the use of iron in Egypt was produced from a meteorite, its celestial origin having implications for both the perception of meteorite iron by ancient Egyptians and the development of
