Sea creatures had a thing for bling
New Scientist
08 May 2008 by Lewis Dartnell
Call it extraterrestrial bling. Fossilised sea creatures have been found that coated themselves in tiny diamonds created in the asteroid impact that killed off the dinosaurs.
The fossils were discovered by a team led by Michael Kaminski, a geologist at University College London. They went to the Umbria-Marche basin of eastern Italy in search of the fossilised remains of deep-ocean creatures called agglutinated foraminifera. These amoeba-like single-celled organisms build protective "tests" around themselves by sticking together sediment grains from the sea floor. Curiously, they seem to prefer heavy grains, presumably to help them sink to the bottom of the ocean. ...

Man Unearths Brenham Meteorite in SW Kansas 11MAY09

Man Unearths Meteorite in SW Kansas
By Alana Rocha
(KIOWA COUNTY, Kan.)
They come from outer space and are embedded in fields across Kansas. Countless meteorites, of all shapes and sizes are uncovered every year here.
Eyewitness News traveled to the southwest part of the state to witness the latest discovery and learn what it says about the area.
To most of us, it's a field with a rock sitting in a hole in the middle of it. To Don Stimpson, "This is just a tremendously unique area in the whole world."
As curator of the Kansas Meteorite Museum in Haviland, Stimpson has no problem explaining why.
"We just have the streamfield of this meteorite, of this type of meteorite in the whole world," he said.
Sunday just east of Greensburg, he was ready to unearth his latest find - a rather odd-shaped piece Stimpson believes is a major chunk of the Brenham Meteorites.
Brenham Meteorite History
It took Stimpson and some friends less than an hour to harness it in, test the hold and hoist it out of the ground.
It's estimated the meteorite has sat in the ground 20,000 years. And this day is the result of about two weeks of digging and a couple of months waiting on good Kansas weather to lift it out.
Stimpson says, "Maybe not everybody is a rock hound, but certainly within that community you can't help but be fascinated by coming out and picking up a piece of rock that came from space."
With the meteorite in place, the Stimpsons make their way into town to see how much it weighs.
"Looks like 1,220 pounds," Stimpson calculates.
He says of his find, "That's another one of the main masses from this field. We've found several of them now. It's filling in the science of how this thing came in and broke up there."
With a metal detector in hand, Stimpson vows to continue scouring the fields in his area to help fill in the gaps.
Stimpson will now spend some time cleaning the meteorite before displaying it in his museum near Haviland.

Forty Thousand Meteor Origins Across the Sky
(click on image to enlarge)
Forty Thousand Meteor Origins Across the Sky
Explanation: Where do meteors come from? Visible meteors are typically sand-sized grains of ice and rock that once fragmented from comets. Many a meteor shower has been associated with a known comet, although some intriguing orphan showers do remain. Recently, a group of meteor enthusiasts created a network of over 100 video cameras placed at 25 well-separated locations across Japan. This unprecedented network recorded not only 240,000 optically bright meteors over two years, but almost 40,000 meteors seen by more than one station. These multiple-station events were particularly interesting because they enabled the observers to extrapolate meteor trajectories back into the Solar System. The resulting radiant map is shown above, with many well known meteor showers labelled by the first three letters of the home constellation. Besides known meteor showers, eleven new showers were identified by new radiants on the sky from which meteors appear to flow. The meteor sky is ever changing, and it may be possible that new shower radiants will appear in the future. Research like this could also potentially identify previously unknown comets or asteroids that might one day pass close to the Earth.
