Gallery Of Meteorites - Picture Of Shergottite, Martian Meteorite Shergottites are meteorites from Mars. Shergottites are recognized today as pieces of the deep Martian crust.

The green color comes from olivine and pigeonite pyroxene. (more below) of Gallery Index Prev Next Naturhistorisches Museum Bern Shergottite is among the rarest of meteorites. Shergottite consists mostly of olivine , the pyroxene mineral pigeonite, and plagioclase feldspar , making it a basalt. Such a rock can only form in a differentiated body, that is, a fairly sizable planet. From studies of its age (much younger than other meteorites) and its gas inclusions (which precisely match the composition of the martian atmosphere), we know that the planet in question is Mars. Here's more about this stone , officially named Sayh al Uhaymir 094. Shergottites get their name from the Indian village of Shergotty (Shergahti) in Bihar state, where a dark boulder fell from space on the morning of August 25, 1865.

Photography Three Springs Handworks Information Photography by Ruth Stennett. The late Ruth Stennett's work blends rockhounding/geology/gemology and photography to produce abstract art. http://www.3springshandworks.com/Rocks.htm
Extractions: Links The late Ruth Stennett's work blends rockhounding/geology/gemology and photography to produce abstract art. She uses macro lenses and creative lighting conditions to show off the incredible colors and textures to be found in thin slabs of rock. The typical scale of her typical work is shown in the photo at left below, while the finished photo appears on the right. (By the way, it is a flat slab.) Click the thumbnails to display a larger image. Front lighting and back lighting reveal very different aspects in geodes, quartz, and other translucent crystalline structures. Compare the two photos of the thunder egg slab below. The shot on the left was taken with front lighting only, while the one on the right uses back lighting. The front and back of the same slab can be quite different, as demonstrated by the two photos below of a piece of carnelian agate: Other slabs, when photographed, fool the eye completely. Who would believe at first glance that the image below is a photograph of a flat surface (a piece of rutilated quartz)? Ruth's book Hidden Beauty: The Art of Gemstone Photography (ISBN 1-56044-268-9) contains a wealth of images. Click

Extractions: And Common Sense For All Seasons Cowboy Poetry and Barn Sour Verse My book Cowboy Poetry, and Barn Sour Verse stories, are from happenings, incidents, and remembrances, in truth and zest, which my active life has dished up. Many selections have explanations, as to what keyed the writings. Notations clarify cowboy terminology, Cowboy Poetry often memorized, and recited for others entertainment as passed down through generations Barn Sour Verse Book includes Biographical resume; Content pages; Index pages; Individual list pages (those connections, which caused writings to spark). As my years advanced, some of my poems have been allowed me to poke fun, and jostle my age. Click here for the rest of the story...

We were favorably impresed by the city and would appreciate what other people think of the area. Thank you in advance.
