Matt Morgan I dont think that Paleo is a proper way to describe them as these meteorites are not paleolithic. Paleolithic is an era starting just before mesolithic (13,000 or somewhere around that years ago - I cant remember exactly) going back to the dawn of man which is around 2.5 million years ago. Well there is dispute when the first man showed up but it certainly wasnt 110 million years ago like the Lake murrey paleo meteorite which is a Cretaceous meteorite - not a paleolithic one. Relic, which has also been used is a much better word to describe these meteorites. Cheers DEAN www.meteoriteshop.com __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi Dean and List Dean, I do agree. Paleo-anything has an anthropomorphic connotation about it. Relic has a manmade feel to it. Fossil denotes something once extent, now dead and what we have are it's mineralized bones and traces. Prius means before, maybe that would be less of a problem.
