  • Comet and Meteorite Traditions of Aboriginal Australians
    Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures, 2014. Edited by Helaine Selin. Springer Netherlands, preprint. Comet and Meteorite Traditions of Aboriginal Australians Duane W. Hamacher Nura Gili Centre for Indigenous Programs, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052, Australia Email: [email protected] Of the hundreds of distinct Aboriginal cultures of Australia, many have oral traditions rich in descriptions and explanations of comets, meteors, meteorites, airbursts, impact events, and impact craters. These views generally attribute these phenomena to spirits, death, and bad omens. There are also many traditions that describe the formation of meteorite craters as well as impact events that are not known to Western science. Comets Bright comets appear in the sky roughly once every five years. These celestial visitors were commonly seen as harbingers of death and disease by Aboriginal cultures of Australia. In an ordered and predictable cosmos, rare transient events were typically viewed negatively – a view shared by most cultures of the world (Hamacher & Norris, 2011). In some cases, the appearance of a comet would coincide with a battle, a disease outbreak, or a drought. The comet was then seen as the cause and attributed to the deeds of evil spirits. The Tanganekald people of South Australia (SA) believed comets were omens of sickness and death and were met with great fear. The Gunditjmara people of western Victoria (VIC) similarly believed the comet to be an omen that many people would die. In communities near Townsville, Queensland (QLD), comets represented the spirits of the dead returning home.

  • A Catalogue of Large Meteorite Specimens from Campo Del Cielo Meteorite Shower, Chaco Province , Argentina
    69th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting (2006) 5001.pdf A CATALOGUE OF LARGE METEORITE SPECIMENS FROM CAMPO DEL CIELO METEORITE SHOWER, CHACO PROVINCE , ARGENTINA. M. C. L. Rocca , Mendoza 2779-16A, Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, (1428DKU), [email protected]. Introduction: The Campo del Cielo meteorite field in Chaco Province, Argentina, (S 27º 30’, W 61 º42’) consists, at least, of 20 meteorite craters with an age of about 4000 years. The area is composed of sandy-clay sediments of Quaternary- recent age. The impactor was an Iron-Nickel Apollo-type asteroid (Octahedrite meteorite type IA) and plenty of meteorite specimens survived the impact. Impactor’s diameter is estimated 5 to 20 me- ters. The impactor came from the SW and entered into the Earth’s atmosphere in a low angle of about 9º. As a consequence , the aster- oid broke in many pieces before creating the craters. The first mete- orite specimens were discovered during the time of the Spanish colonization. Craters and meteorite fragments are widespread in an oval area of 18.5 x 3 km (SW-NE), thus Campo del Cielo is one of the largest meteorite’s crater fields known in the world. Crater nº 3, called “Laguna Negra” is the largest (diameter: 115 meters). Inside crater nº 10, called “Gómez”, (diameter about 25 m.), a huge meteorite specimen called “El Chaco”, of 37,4 Tons, was found in 1980. Inside crater nº 9, called “La Perdida” (diameter : 25 x 35 m.) several meteorite pieces were discovered weighing in total about 5200 kg. The following is a catalogue of large meteorite specimens (more than 200 Kg.) from this area as 2005.

    n ARieuican%Mllsellm PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK 24, N.Y. NUMBER 2I63 DECEMBER I9, I963 The Pallasites BY BRIAN MASON' INTRODUCTION The pallasites are a comparatively rare type of meteorite, but are remarkable in several respects. Historically, it was a pallasite for which an extraterrestrial origin was first postulated because of its unique compositional and structural features. The Krasnoyarsk pallasite was discovered in 1749 about 150 miles south of Krasnoyarsk, and seen by P. S. Pallas in 1772, who recognized these unique features and arranged for its removal to the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. Chladni (1794) examined it and concluded it must have come from beyond the earth, at a time when the scientific community did not accept the reality of stones falling from the sky. Compositionally, the combination of olivine and nickel-iron in subequal amounts clearly distinguishes the pallasites from all other groups of meteorites, and the remarkable juxtaposition of a comparatively light silicate mineral and heavy metal poses a nice problem of origin. Several theories of the internal structure of the earth have postulated the presence of a pallasitic layer to account for the geophysical data. No apology is therefore required for an attempt to provide a comprehensive account of this remarkable group of meteorites. Some 40 pallasites are known, of which only two, Marjalahti and Zaisho, were seen to fall (table 1). Of these, some may be portions of a single meteorite. It has been suggested that the pallasite found in Indian mounds at Anderson, Ohio, may be fragments of the Brenham meteorite, I Chairman, Department of Mineralogy, the American Museum of Natural History.
