Re: [meteorite-list] Steves unproven tektite theory by Steve lol!

Daniel, Steve, All due respect to this theory. I'd like to hear more about this theory because he says; "Theories about chemical etching and spalling as the major creators of surface sculpturing have been proven unlikely." He does not explain this statement. How has this been proven unlikely? I

The law applies to old Canadian falls and finds as well as newly discovered stuff. So, if I buy an old Dresden (Ontario) H6 (fell 1939) from a US dealer and bring it back into Canada, and then want to resell or trade it to a dealer outside Canada, I will have to apply for a permit from Canad

Re: [meteorite-list] Man Claims Rockhaven Meteorite Find

Hi Carl, I don't agree with everything about this theory, I just thought it was interesting. There all still a lot of unknowns when it comes to tektites. Are you a tektite collector? Best Regards, Daniel Sutherland On Feb 25, 2012, at 9:45 AM, wrote: > Daniel, Steve, > All due respect to
