The sheer variety and quality of the items featured is staggering in its intensity, and such is the intrinsic fascination of so many of the lots that it is difficult to choose highlights. Even the less highly priced items are wonderful examples of their kind. Meteorites are always objects that arouse a great curiosity, and this is for a variety of reasons - not least among them being the idea that some people have, that these heavenly fragments were the means of first bringing life to Earth. Among those offered here are two truly enormous and rare examples of what are known as Gibeon meteorites. These particular meteorites come only from Namibia, and are so highly prized that export from that land is no longer permitted. These two marvellous examples have been in the UK for many decades, however, and arrived here when it was possible to acquire such rare things. It is now virtually impossible to find specimens that even begin to approach these in size! As always, we have some stunning fossils, including a wonderfully decorative and truly ancient crinoid. There are also examples of more recent extinct creatures - a South American cotingas, antique examples of which mammoth and a moa. are these days regrettably stripped of their feathers by fly tying enthusiasts; these, however, are still in perfect Exquisite mineral specimens are increasingly sought after condition. Also featured are some examples of New as items with incredible decorative appeal, and there are Zealand birds that, though common in the 19th century, many examples on display that are simply stunning. are now threatened with extinction, as is the gharial - a crocodile that once inhabited Indian rivers in their Vintage taxidermy is another area of collecting that tens of thousands, but which now numbers in the low increases in value and popularity year on year, and hundreds.

  • Modeling Fractional Crystallization of Group Iiab Iron Meteorites
    MODELING FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION OF GROUP IIAB IRON METEORITES Student :: Jesse Dietderich Date :: April 19, 2010 Advisor :: Dr. Richard J. Walker Class :: Geology 394 Jesse Dietderich 1 ABSTRACT My senior thesis project examines the abundances of highly siderophile elements (HSE) present in group IIAB iron meteorites. The term siderophile derives from the Greek "sideros" (iron) and "philein" (to love), which means these HSE have a strong affinity for metallic iron. A model of fractional crystallization was developed to account for variations in these trace element concentrations. I measured the concentrations of the following suite of HSE; Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, and Pd. After digestion of the iron meteorite, Os was separated by carbon tetrachloride solvent extraction, and purified via microdistillation. The rest of the elements were purified by the use of anion exchange chromatography. Mass spectrometry coupled with isotope dilution was used to precisely determine the concentrations of the six elements. Starting with a prior model for fractional crystallization that considered Re-Os + Pt abundances, I used it to fit the newly acquired data and modified the model to accommodate varying initial concentrations of S, P, and the suite of HSE. My sample suite spanned the full range of the IIAB iron’s Ni content, and were modeled to a varying crystallization path, but the modeling of Pd resulted in an unsatisfactory fit. 1. INTRODUCTION The Earth is a differentiated body where-by much of the iron has collected as metal in the core of the planet. The core, however, is inaccessible in terms of obtaining a sample for laboratory testing.
