I am offering to list members,

Hi Jim most people use acetone on a clean rag, you will need gloves
and only use it in a well ventilated area as the fumes are very
strong. A final rinse with alcohol is not a bad idea.

I guess terminology is always descriptive.
Hence it can't change the objects, that it describes.
The hole in Carancas will stay the same, no matter if it's called "crater"
or "pit".

Hi Mike-
Being _highly_ skeptical that the Carancas event was hypervelocity or
crater forming was an entirely appropriate attitude during the first
days. After all, not a year goes by that we don't get stories out of
usually backwater places about fiery meteorites, destroyed homes, and

Hi Mike and List Members,
To me, Carancas produced an "impact pit" which is a
form of crater. I will concede the point that it is
also a crater by other definitions, just not
meteoritic. The Sikhote Alin event also produced
several impact pits that were described as such
further constraining the
The confusion here is that the original O-isotope data, the data
published in the original announcement, are NOT consistent with
brachinites, whereas newer data in the Rumble et al. abstract (#1974)
and Zeigler et al. (#2456) abstract that Adam mentions below ARE
consistent with brachinites.
At least the fact that Carancas is a meteorite crater
is resolved. I recall you refusing to accept that it
was a crater.

Dear Pete,
99% of the pieces i have don't show any fusion crust. They have the
typical chocolate-like
brownish outside. At a few spots is still some crust, no primary crust,
but most of it
is weathered or sanblasted away. I will post some pictures when i found
