Sikhote Alin Biosphere Sanctuary The abundance and diversity of Sikhote Alin’s ecosystems are caused by the fact that its territory includes both slopes of Sikhote Alin ridge, which differ in natural conditions and altitude gradients determining vertical zoning. Characteristic of Sikhote Alin flora and fauna is the combination of warm- and cold-loving natural complexes with numerous endemic Manchurian species together with cold-loving Okhotsk and subtropical species. In respect to its considerable area and relatively little disturbed natural complexes and remoteness from industrial centers and farming territories, the Sikhote Alin Sanctuary is unequalled in the Russian Far East. www.fegi.ru /prim/range/zap-sikh.htm   (374 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Sikhote-Alin Meteorite The Sikhote-Alin meteorite fell in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, Maritime Province, Russia, near the village of Paseka (approximately 440 km northeast of Vladivostok) on the morning of February 12, 1947. The Sikhote-Alin meteorite fall was a massive impact event that occurred on February 12, 1947, approximately 440 km northeast of Vladivostok, Russia. It is most likely that the former orbit of the Sikhote-Alin meteoroid is similar to that of many other small bodies of the solar system. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Sikhote-Alin_Meteorite   (502 words)

Resource Geology This suggests, taking accounts of the opening of the Japan Sea, that the eastern Sikhote Alin volcano-plutonic belt continued to the San'in Belt, and that the Paleogene igneous rocks along the Japan Sea coast of Northeast Japan were situated along the volcanic front of the eastern Sikhote Alin volcano-plutonic belt. Abstract:Seven zircon fission-track ages and 30 magnetic susceptibilities were measured on welded pyroclastic rocks from the Bogopol and Sijanov Groups of the Cretaceous to Paleogene volcanic rocks in the southeastern part of the eastern Sikhote Alin volcano-plutonic belt, Far East Russia. The Paleogene age and high magnetic susceptibility of the Bogopol Group are quite similar to the Paleogene igneous rocks of the San'in belt, Southwest Japan. www.kt.rim.or.jp /~srg/backn/vol48/no04/285_290.html   (310 words)

Other fossils - Cretaceous Meteorite fragments are normally located at depths of 5-6 cm in the soil, although a thick snow cover (over 60 cm) and frozen soil prevented the penetration of smaller fragments (of less than 200g). The debate carries on as to whether or not a comet or meteorite was responsible for the death of the dnosaurs. It is understood that the meteorite body began it’s destruction at a distance of 12 km high in the atmosphere and lost around 30 — 40% of it’s body mass in the atmosphere whilst falling to earth. www.neovenator.org /METEORITES.htm   (813 words)

Sikhote-AlinskyZapovednik The reserve is located in the remote northeastern portion of the Primorye Province, encompassing the Eastern and Western slopes of the Middle Sikhote-Alin Mountain Range and a stretch of coastline of the Sea of Japan. Mountains recede into mountains as far as the eye can see, divided only by the fissures of valleys and canyons. Many creeks and streams flow from the mountains, fed by the large amounts of precipitation caused by the proximity of the sea. www.wild-russia.org /bioregion13/sikhote/13_sikhote.htm   (367 words)

Meteorites: Sikhote-Alin Meteorites, Nantan Meteorites, and Campo Del Cielo Meteorites This iron meteorite fell to earth through the bright sunlight of late morning, and it was described by observers as being as bright and large as the sun, casting shadows as it passed by and leaving a large plume of smoke in the sky that lasted for hours. These regmaglypts are cavities on the meteorite's surface produced by intense heat and ablation as it passed into and through earth's atmosphere. This small size Campo Del Cielo meteorite has very well formed thumb-prints or regmaglypts which were produced by intense heat and ablation as it passed into and through earth's atmosphere. www.mineralminers.com /html/metmins.stm   (4013 words)

Meteorite Stamps and Coins The first sheet (left) depicts a Martian meteorite from India (presumably Shergotty), a Martian meteorite from Nigeria (presumably Zagami), a Howardite from the United States (five are known), the iron meteorite Mundrabilla from Australia, and a mesosiderite from Poland (presumably Lowicz). One of the minerals, identified as "fer natif" (native iron) appears to be an etched slice of an iron meteorite displaying its Widmanstatten pattern. The Peekskill meteorite may be the first fireball to be both recorded on videotape and have fragments recovered. www.pibburns.com /catastro/metstamp.htm   (8148 words)

Iron Meteorite / Sikhote Aline / Russia At 10:38 A.M. on Feb. 12, 1947 in Eastern Siberia, Russia, a large fireball appeared traveling from north to south to the forest of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains. A Sikhote-Alin meteorite with a curious "Dragon like" shape, was probably a ring for a short time in the Earth's atmosphere, it's easy to imagine the contact between the two extremities. There are two classes of Sikhote Aline meteorites. www.meteorites.tv /contents/en-us/d279.html   (803 words)

Известия Науки - “THIS IS THE BIGGEST THEFT IN GALAXY!” Similar meteorites constitute almost 90 percent of all found meteorites whereas the Sikhote Alin one is an iron meteorite. The piece of the Sikhote Alin meteorite was transferred from the USSR Academy of Sciences Committee on Meteorites to the Volgorgad planetarium some 50 years ago. On November 4th, 2003, a 50-kilo piece of the famous Sikhote Alin meteorite was stolen from the display of the planetarium. www.inauka.ru /english/article37271/print.html   (623 words)

sikhote alin meteorites for sale The Sikhote-Alin "individuals" listed here are complete meteorites that broke away from the main bolide when it detonated during atmospheric passage, but which continued to melt due to the friction set up with the atmosphere at such an extremely high speed. No impact craters or meteorites were ever found at Tungkuska, which was likely caused by an icy comet fragment enetering our atmosphere, but leaving no trace of itself other than the blast, which completely devastated 1200 square miles of trees in all directions. A very famous fall of meteorites, widely reported, commemorated and remembered, although it is sometimes confused with another cataclysmic event which also occured in Siberia a few years earlier - the Tunguska Blast of 1908 had a force equivalent to 30 million tons of TNT, as opposed to Hiroshima's 20 thousand tons. fernlea.tripod.com /sikhote.html   (549 words)

Sikhote Aline Meteorite / Russia A Sikhote-Alin meteorite with a curious "Dragon like" shape, was probably a ring for a short time in the Earth's atmosphere, it's easy to imagine the contact between the two extremities. Due to atmospheric heating and resulting ablation, the individuals developed smooth indentations, or regmaglypts, this is why each Sikhote Aline meteorite is unique. The meteorite impacted in the mountains with a huge explosion which was felt over 100 miles away. www.meteorites.tv /contents/en-us/d279.html   (655 words)

Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites American Museum of Natural History An iron meteorite weighing perhaps 100 tons, more than three times as much as Ahnighito—displayed at the center of this hall—had exploded in the dense lower layer of Earth's atmosphere. Many fairly large meteorite samples were buried at the bottom of small craters measuring no more than two meters (6.5 feet) across. The meteorite mass that formed this crater weighed roughly 1,300 kilograms (2,870 pounds) before it broke apart upon impact. www.amnh.org /exhibitions/permanent/meteorites/impacts   (528 words)

Exploring Meteorite Mysteries: Slides 1-9 This is one fragment of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite. Meteorites are samples from remote parts of our solar system, with histories that extend back billions of years. Explorers found many pieces of iron meteorite in the forest, and 150 kg of iron in the largest crater, which was 26 meters across and 6 meters deep. ares.jsc.nasa.gov /Education/SlideSets/ExpMetMys/Slides1-9.htm   (800 words)

Sikhote-Alin Meteorite Information What makes Sikhote-Alin meteorite so special is that it produced craters whose cause was known beyond the shadow of a doubt. Within days, a total of 132 craters and smaller pits created by the explosion of the fireball were discovered in the Sikhote-Alin mountains, with the largest being about 85 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep. For instance, they discovered that it is only smaller meteorites that survive their landings intact - the force of the collision is so great that larger bodies splinter into fragments immediately upon impact. www.mwweb.com /multifacet/info/sikhote.htm   (192 words)

Famous meteorites It is speculated that this large iron meteorite entered the Earth's atmosphere at a very shallow angle and was slowed down considerably by atmospheric drag, so that its speed and angle of impact prevented a violent collision with the earth's surface. This meteorite was classified as carbonaceous chondrite and it is the largest of only seven meteorites on that type ever found. This caused great excitement and was headline news until it was discovered that the seed was glued to the meteorite by a hoaxer and the glue camouflaged with coal dust. www.rockcollector.co.uk /editorial0705.htm   (710 words)

Sikhote-Alin meteorite Many meteorites of this fall are oriented, which means that the particular meteoroid maintained the same attitude during flight and did not tumble or roll. The lower image shows the rear or the meteorite which retains much of its rough, sharp texture. The front face (top) was ablated more during it's fiery travel through the earth's atmosphere and material melted and flowed giving it the appearance of melted wax. www.meteoriteimpact.com /sikhote.htm   (119 words)
