Please Help
| Please Help In no particular order, I have listed different tests that I would like to see performed on the Frass Meteorite. If you can help with any of these tests, or if you would like to suggest additional tests to run, please notify me via e-mail. Elemental oxides analysis by probe. All of the elemental oxide tests have been done by sending a 1+ gram sample which is then crushed and tested. Since the Frass rock was made by lava moving through a bed of sandy material, the sandy material is stuck to the lava rock inside and out. Almost every nook and cranny is filled with the sandy material. Thus, of all the tests I have completed so far, all are mixtures of the lava and the sandy material. I would like to get both the gray and red lava rock tested separately so that I might know its actual elemental oxides, instead of the mixture values I now have. There are red spots on the rock that I would like to test, as well as, spots of some kind of metal that appears throughout the rock. Three dimensional model. I would like to have a complete three dimensional model made of the Frass meteorite. This could be used for several things including wind tunnel testing to see if the Frass meteorite did "fly" in a single orientation when it came through the Earth's atmosphere. Life studies. I would like to have someone look at the different forms of life that have come out of the Frass meteorite. All of the sandy material is full of the debris of ancient creatures. See www.marslife.com for more information. These all must be at least 13 million years old and probably older. I would like to have these dated if possible. Also I would like to have each piece of debris classified to see if it matches any Earthly creatures. Additionally, DNA tests would be very interesting to see if these creatures have DNA and how it relates to Earthly DNA. Analysis of the sandy material. See www.marsmeteorite.com. The sandy material is very simple in nature and all of the elemental oxide test show a linear nature of all the material. This means to me that all the material in and on the rock came from the same source material or the same volcano. I believe that an examination of the particle types will prove my point that all the material in and of this rock is volcanic in nature. There is not a single sedimentary particle or rock with the Frass meteorite. This material has been on the surface of a planet for more than 50 million years. Oxygen isotope ratio. This would help determine the planet of origin. Internal atmospheric tests. Another test to indicate planet of origin. Argon/Argon dating. I'm not sure what this tells since different people tell me different things. It should be a measure of exposure to cosmic rays. I would expect this rock has been exposed its entire life, but someone needs to make these tests. Other tests as suggested by you. |
