[meteorite-list] Micrograph Talk

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi list,  

Last week I offered a  micrograph in full size to any one who wanted it.  It 
was a beauty of NWA  969 (LL7)and was about 3 mb in size.  Since then, with 
the help of Paul  Harris (Meteorite Times) and Jeff Krosschell, I have changed 
cameras to a Nikon  CoolPix 8mp and have learned about mega pixels and mega 
bytes.  (It's not  that the learning curve is so steep, it's that I'm so dense) 

I would  appreciate any one who is interested in this stuff or just curious 
to let me  know what they think.  I have an image taken of the same feature 
(for  comparison) with this new set up.  

I can send it embedded in an  email, (the image size will be reduced).  I 
also have a 7.3 mb JPEG file or  a 12.7 mb PNG file.

If you are interested, let me know which you would  like.  Most attempts to 
send the PNG file have resulted in the returned  email notice due to the size 
being to big but that depends on your Internet  account. 

On a side note, Jeff Krosschell might not sound familiar to  some of you.  He 
is a meteorite collector and dealer.  In addition to  his own inventory he 
and his wife Malia are handling Adam Hupe's  inventory.  The thin sections I 
have been working on were sent to me by  Jeff and are out of Adam's stock.  I 
have examined 5 of these thin sections  and I can say the quality is superb 
(believe me, I have seen good and  bad!).  Jeff will be selling these thin 
sections.  He can be reached  at jeffkrosschell at comcast.net 

Thanks,  Tom Phillips
