Lunar Meteorites ☄️ Rare Rocks from the Moon

[@kaioken3691]

Waited for this one and i keep watching and pause to learn all those insane lithologies!

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Great feedback!! Thanks a bunch. We try to cram a bunch into each episode.

[@jamesandrew8839]

Thanks to all who have shared their hard earned knowledge, and in a straight forward manner. Kudos to all.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Thanks for the positive feedback. This is the fuel that keeps us going. Sue and I work super hard to make each video. A ton of work goes into these. THANKS.

[@jamesandrew8839]

Should you find your self in The San Luis valley, I invite you to come Dig.. We collect gems and minerals. Mt Antero, Del Norte, and various other places..we are family friendly. And in the words of the late Jack Horkheimer.."Keep looking up".

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Thanks 👍

[@HoboMinerals]

Mark is just showing off some gigantic and wonderful pieces like it’s just another rock.. That’s what dreams my are made of!! Woah!! All of them are just amazing! Thank you for sharing these videos!

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

You and me both! Mark has some amazing items for sure. I will never lose my excitement.

[@HoboMinerals]

@@TopherspinMeteorites you make it hard to lose interest!! That’s for sure!!

It was too funny, featuring my video right next to the one from Mike Lyon! :) Extremes indeed! Some fantastic lunar slices and individuals were shown and Mike's 101 was as educational as always! But... (rich coming from someone who was spent the Hangout comfortably sleeping) it's a pity you haven't talked more about the problem of 'fake' lunars out there. As you can very easily find an earth rock that superficially resembles some of the shown, classified lunar material, there are a lot of people out there that believe that they have possibly found the first 10 lunars from temperate climate right in their garden. That is why most amateur 'finds' are 'lunar' or 'martian', not OC's or irons. Without that important warning, showing this huge range of different lunar material could lead to an (small) explosion in meteowrong lunar finds.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

That is one of the reasons why I put my meteorite or meteor wrong up video last week showing terrestrial 'Lunar' compared to real Lunars. I have made a point to only show real meteorites during the hangouts. It would be confusing for the small-minded to keep switching back and forth.

[@davenelson413]

very educational, thankyou to everyone that shared info

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Thanks for watching and commenting David! Happy to have you join us virtually.

Another great hangout Topher. I always learn so much.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Glad you enjoyed it!! I am lucky to watch & learn as I edit. THANKS

[@dirkjackson1267]

Really cool stuff

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Thanks Dirk. I hope you are subscribed. Look for the "external features" and the "Muskogee Oklahoma hammer / France" videos.

[@aleshacoptev7298]

Ребята,это прекрасные метеориты с Луны,спасибо за демонстрацию.Особенно удивил коричневый образец,никогда такого не видел.Наверняка это материковый.Еще раз Спасибо и желаю найти таких побольше Вам и удачи!

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Добро пожаловать. На Луне есть много типов горных пород, а брекчии представляют собой более мелкие камни, сколотые вместе. Наверняка есть большое разнообразие. Пожалуйста, подпишитесь и наслаждайтесь.

[@jrmyjrmy1629]

QUESTION: A statement was made something to the effect of the only lunar falls being either Desert or Antarctica; by definition, these were actually witnessed? Or are all lunar finds, North America, et al, thought to have originated from the Antarctica and Desert falls, when continents were more landlocked, and Pangaea-esque? Is it correct to assume placement of both falls is largely the influence of the Earth's magnetic field? Thanks for all. Depending on the KZbin source, I've either got bunches and bunches.... Or not so many. Most originate from the Mojave Desert of CA and the plains of CO. Hoping all finds you and yours well.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

There has never been a witnessed and recovered lunar meteorite fall on Earth. All Lunar samples that have been found on Earth have been found in Antarctica or in Africa. (Except Calcalong Creek from Australia) This has nothing to do with pangea or the Earth magnetic field. It all has to do with what will last and where it will last. Lunar samples degrade very quickly on Earth. Only hot and cold deserts can save them long term.

[@freshimpactco.8698]

I love how Mark Lyon sounded so nonchalant while displaying his amazing lunar collection haha 😄🤣 Yeap I have this, this, this oh and this hahaha

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Yeah, he is not much of a presenter but I was happy to host him. He is a serious dealer. He is more lively and enthusiastic in person. Thanks.

[@nixonsmateruby1]

Found one. North East England about 2012. The matrix is almost all microscopic glass, and the spherules are amazing. Some even has tails.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

You are claiming to have found the first ever Lunar from England / UK? There wouldn't be spherules inside a Lunar meteorite since they are Achondrites not Chondrites containing chondrules.

[@rockliquor1329]

Lunar regolith does contain crystalline sphereules often in great amounts that look remarkably like chondrules! as well as agglutinates. But lunar sphereules never have tails, they can be elongated depending on the impact plume but never have tails which are caused by a combination of gravity and drag from an atmosphere, both of which lack on the moon

[@dirkjackson1267]

Dang i love it. ❤

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

@dirkjackson1267 Yes!!! That is what we were going for. You rock.

[@a.v.5078]

What is the NWA 13676 made of? Is it mostly nickel?

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

No - very low metal content in all Lunars. Olivine (Fa26.6-42.8, FeO/MnO = 87-105, N = 6), pigeonite (Fs23.4-35.1Wo6.6-10.2, FeO/MnO = 52-64, N = 5; Fs39.7-47.2Wo14.9-16.7,FeO/MnO = 54-58, N = 2), augite (Fs20.8Wo37.4, FeO/MnO = 56), anorthite (An94.8-95.5Or0.3-0.5, N = 3).

[@marcosastrophotography100]

Great hangout 🌔☄️❤️

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Thanks buddy! Nothing oriented this week. I jope you are staying busy with your scopes.

[@yanmarnale4369]

I am from Philippines I found Rock seem like you have how to send the photos or video maybe you can help about the rock I have

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

I don't offer free services to help ID stones. I am not a trained Geologist. Do you believe that you really have a meteorite? Submit pictures to: facebook.com/groups/isitameteorite or facebook.com/groups/meteorite.or.meteorwrong. The power of the Facebook Groups I recommend is that there are a bunch of knowledgeable geologists and meteorite people in there.

[@joncan2348]

Are you selling anything?

Yes. Look at our Facebook Shop, eBay, and www.tinyurl.com/topherspin

I enjoy pick up knowledge fr . this KZbin i also collecting meteorites how I can share video with you. I love to buy the T shirt How I can achieve my vision I from East Malaysia Lahad Datu

Thank you very much for the kind words. Our goal is to help educate everyone about accurate meteorite information. If you'd like to submit pictures of a possible meteorite, please read the descriptions to any of my hundreds of videos. I give a link where you can load pictures. Please remember to subscribe.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? WOW

Yes, I am serious. 😂 Thanks for the encouraging words.

I have one very nice and rare lunar gabro oriontéd 205g for sale from morocco

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Trying to sell your meteorites on my company's KZbin channel is really not the most classy thing you could do. How about you start your own company your own KZbin page and advertiser own rocks on your own site? Please don't piggyback off my hard-earned success.

You does too hard work on KZbin. I am in your list of copyright.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Did you get a copyright strike for the NASA Mars footage? If so, please send me the video URL. I will get KZbin to reverse it. I am very sorry this happened.

[@SpaceTechz]

@@TopherspinMeteorites yes. Check your gmail

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Got it. Send the reversal request to KZbin and copied you. I really hope it gets resolved quickly.

To much talk.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

"Too" much talk? That is called scientific discussion and how learning is done. Were we off subject talking about non-related things or just something you weren't interested in? Good news is I have 285 other videos. Some have only pictures and no education at all. Good luck 🤞

[@elmoktarelbechire4294]

Salut j’ai plusieurs météorites je voudrais que vous me dites de quelle genre sont elles si c’est possible envoyez moi votre numéro de WhatsApp pour que je puisse vous envoyez les photos ou vidéos des météorites que j’ai avec moi ici a New-York merci pour votre réponse
