Hi all -
Did Steve and Geoff find anything?
Just joking. The episode repeated later on in the evening, which was a very
good plan.

human occupation of North America. How big was the crater?
It kind of makes me

So was this ebay listing posted by the property owner of the Dentist office,

Hello Listers
The post of the Lorton meteorite on eBay was a hack into someones email account
on ebay. eBay contacted me with this email. Also, I called up the Smithsonian
today and spoke with a women on the phone and she had told me that the
meteorite is no longer in the possession of the
Hi, all:
My eyes need a little help seeing the finer details of metal, mineral,
shock, and crystals in meteorite slices. A microscope would be helpful, and
I surmise that many of the scores of scopes out there could be useful. Has
anyone been particularly impressed by his/her scope's
Hi Paul, I love to talk about microscopes. In fact I just bought an
other one today.
In May of 2008 I did a little write up for Meteorite Times titled The

others or the like but rather, what type of microscope

Hello Paul, Tom, and List,
I can full-heartedly second Tom's comments but would like to add that
apart from opting for a *stereo microscope* for convenient seeing, it
is also vital to purchase or acquire a microscope that allows you to view
meteorite thin sections in cross-polarized light!

Hey Paul.
A seemingly simple question with literally hundreds of answers. I just
purchased a microscope, but I think my needs were possibly very different than
many of the people on this list.
Here's a few questions to ask yourself before you can narrow down the
microscope that is right for
Perhaps many meteorwrongs actually were meteorites!
I seem to encounter misguided individuals who tenuously believe such
dribble on regular basis. Russell T Wing is the exemplar of
meteorwrong 'wingnuts' just as Harvey Nininger is to meteorite
enthusiasts. Here is an example from Wing's book:This

You ask: Can anyone explain this dogged type thinking? That the owner's
rock HAS TO BE a meteorite despite the fact that every expert contacted has
told them differently. I just don't understand the thinking but I want
to.
I can only reply that people who think like this have rocks in
Hi list, Richard is absolutely right when he said. so a simple $100
stereo microscope might be enough to get your feet wet and help solidify the
direction you want to go if, I mean when you purchase your next microscope!
He touches on an aspect that meteorite and microscope enthusiasts
What I am trying to say is that you can not be sure if a rock is or is not a
meteorite simply because a magnet will not stick to it! Not to forget that a
rare earth magnet has a stronger pull then a simple magnet. I am not talking
about having it checked out as to content. I am talking about

I think we were with you on this.
The truth is that saying meteorites stick to a magnet is generally correct but,
there are exceptions to every rule.
If you read Tony Irving's web site on Mars he is very clear that there are
meteorites that we have yet to recognize.
