  • Meteorites in Ancient Times
    Meteorites in Ancient Times Meteor Omens Meteorites have played many key roles throughout history and across many cultures. The observation of a meteor, or shooting star, was considered a celestial omen, switching between being a bad or good sign depending on the time and place. When Shakespeare wrote ‘The Life and Death of Richard II’ he uses a meteor to foreshadow the “death [or fall] of kings”, as the sight of a meteor was a bad omen at this time. A 147kg meteorite that fell in a wheat field outside Ensisheim (France) in 1492 was chained to the wall in a local church after the Emperor, Maximillian the First, claimed it was an ‘omen of divine protection against invasion’. Historic records of meteors are often seen in artwork and literature from the time. Figure 1 Artwork depicting the fall of the Ensisheim meteorite of 1492 Figure 2 Artwork depicting the fall of the Ensisheim meteorite of 1492 in the form of woodcuts.

Having ‘fallen from the heavens’ they often became the source of cultish worship. One meteorite holds the place of honour at Apollo’s Temple at Delphi, where the ancient Greeks believed Cronos (the god Saturn being the Roman variant) threw the rock from above after his dethronement by his son Zeus.

WILLAMETTE METEORITE. HENRY A. WARD. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROCHESTER ACADEMY OF SCIENCE VOL. 4, PP. 137-148 , PLATES 13-18. MARCH 24, 1904, THE WILLAMETTE METEORITE. By HENRY A. WARD. (Presented before the Academy, March 14, 1904.) This most interesting meteorite, noble in size and wonderful in physical features, was found near the border of Clackamas County, Oregon, in the autumn of J902. At this point in its course the Willa­ mette River, 80 miles south of its junction with the Columbia, runs between high banks of sedimentary rocks. A.t Oregon City, 16 miles south of Portlarid, these banks come as cliffs down close to the river, which on the western side they follow southward for three and one­ half miles to the town of Willamette. This meteorite having been found two miles from this town (to north-west) I have given it the name, as above, of Willamette Meteorite. Its exact locality is Lat. 45 0 22' 0 N, Long. 122 35' W. The' region immediately surrounding is a series of hills, distant foot hills of the Cascade Range, with their steeply sloping sides cut into by streamlets flowing into the Willamette. One of these streams is the Tualitin. On a hill­ side, three miles above the mouth of the Tualitin, fell, apparently centuries ago, the Willamette siderite, the third largest iron meteor­ ite in the world.

NUMBER 2 I 90 SEPTEMBER IO, I964 The Meteorite and Tektite Collection of the American Museum of Natural History BY BRIAN MASON' INTRODUCTION The first meteorite received by the American Museum of Natural History was a 46-gram piece of the Searsmont chondrite, presented by G. M. Brainerd of Rockland, Maine, in 1872. For some years the col- lection grew very slowly. Hovey (1896) published the first catalogue, in which he enumerated 55 pieces representing 26 different meteorites. However, the status of the collection was radically changed in 1900 with the acquisition of the Bement collection of minerals, through the gener- osity ofJ. Pierpont Morgan. Besides some 12,000 mineral specimens, the Bement collection contained 580 meteorites, representing nearly 500 different falls and finds. This acquisition established the meteorite col- lection of this museum as one of the great collections of the world, a situation that has been maintained by more recent additions. Some of the more notable additions may be briefly noted. In 1904 three Cape York irons, brought from Greenland in 1897 by R. E. Peary, were deposited in the museum. These are known as "Ahnighito" or "The Tent," "The Woman," and "The Dog" (fig. 1). "Ahnighito," the largest of the three, is approximately 11 feet long, 7 feet high, and 6 feet thick. Various estimates of its weight, ranging from 30 to 80 tons, have been published. Thanks to the Toledo Scale Company it was mounted 1 Chairman, Department of Mineralogy, the American Museum of Natural History.

  • Fossils in Native American Lands Whose Bones, Whose Story?
    1 Fossils in Native American Lands Whose Bones, Whose Story? Fossil Appropriations Past and Present by Adrienne Mayor Visiting Scholar, Classics and History of Science Stanford University Paper presented at the History of Science Society annual meeting, 1-2 November 2007, Washington DC, on the History of Earth Sciences Government and Earth Sciences Panel. Who owns the fossilized remains of human ancestors or extinct animals? Who has the right to tell their stories? Some of you may recall the controversy in 1992, when federal agents seized a Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur excavated from Native American land in South Dakota. After 5 years of complex court decisions, this largest and most complete T. rex specimen (at the time) was sold at auction to the highest bidder. Another famous case is Otzi, the 5,000-year-old Ice Man discovered in a melting glacier in the Alps between Italy and Austria in 1991. International legal battles are still going on today, 16 years later, over who has the right to own, study, and profit from Otzi. 2 Kennewick Man, a 9,300-year-old human discovered on the banks of the Columbia River 11 years ago (1996), generated fierce battles among scientists and Native Americans, while the courts decided who should possess and assign meaning to his remains. And just this summer (2007), there was strong criticism from scientists and Ethiopians over the decision by the government of Ethiopia to send the fragile fossil skeleton of Lucy, the celebrated 3.2 million-year-old human ancestor, on a lucrative tour to museums in Houston and other US cities.

  • Meteoroids, Meteorites and Meteors
    ALL ABOUT METEOROIDS, METEORS AND METEORITES 1. Meteoroids ▪ A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic particle of debris in our solar system. ▪ They are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects. ▪ Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust. ▪ Most are fragments from comets or asteroids, whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars. Meteoroids travel around the Sun in a variety of orbits and at various velocities ▪ The fastest meteoroids travel through the solar system at a speed of around 42 kilometres/26 miles per second = 72,000 km / 45,000m per hr. ▪ When a meteoroid, comet, or asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere at this speed, the aerodynamic heating of that object produces a streak of light, both from the glowing object itself and from the trail of glowing particles that it leaves in its wake. ▪ An estimated 15,000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and different forms of space dust enter Earth's atmosphere each year. ▪ A small percentage of meteoroids fly on a path that goes into the Earth’s atmosphere and then back out again, they are known as Earth grazing fireballs. ▪ Most meteoroids come from the asteroid belt, and are affected by the gravitational pull of the planets. But some meteoroids are fragments from bodies such as Mars or our Moon, which have been thrown into space by an impact. ▪ Almost all meteoroids contain extraterrestrial nickel and iron. They have three main classifications: iron, stone, and stony-iron 2.
