I bought a chunk of Canyon Diablo (aka Meteor Crater) in 1982 when the Shuttle landed at Edwards AFB. me and 500,000 of my friends yelled w/ joy like little kids. I put that piece in mineral oil last night to help control the rust caused by island living.

My wife and I go to the Tucson Mineral and Gem Show every February and I'm thinking of heading up to Meteor Crater and gathering some sand there. I'm sure we would find shocked quartz grains and micro meteorites. If I were to find micro meteorites that would open up lots of questions, like when, where's the impact crater and is this new? Weathering of irons would be rapid in/near a water environment. Thanks so much!

Whatever sand looks good to you is fine. Thanks!

Sand from below surface is much older. Some was submitted from a potash mine in Aurora,NC and contained a wealth of micro fossils, fascinating.

Hi

Thanks, just the beach name and state is fine.

Thanks, we're trying to get sand from all over the USA, a big project but it'll be a hoot when finished. Some grains are micro jewels.

This is a request to UHH, if I could get members living near oceans, lakes and rivers with sand beaches to send a tablespoon of sand to

Dr. Gary Greenburg
c/o Institute for Astronomy
34 Ohia Ku St
Pukalani, Hawaii 96768

this would be greatly appreciated. Gary (sandgrains.com) is working on a new book about sand and what it actually looks like and the minute life in that sand. Sand from the USA and the world is needed. Please note where the sand was collected and PLEASE include your email address. we will send you photos of your sand if it is used in the new book. Again, Thank You. Aloha Rob

I looked at eBay for what the lenses sell for, $250-300 was the range, so that's what I stated. If someone can find a better price, more power to them. I shop that way too.

I suggest then if the lenses are 3X what can be found on eBay/Amazon, then go for it. The Tokina was used on a D200 and the Nikkor was used on a D700, replaced w/ 16-35 F4 Nikkor

Tokina 12-24mm F4 AT-X wide angle for Nikon Caps,hood, storage bag $300

Nikon 18-35mm AF ED F3.5-4.5 wide angle for Nikon Caps, Hood, storage bag $300
