Hi All,
Although quite new to the list, and to collecting, I'm picking up all
sorts of info. and tips on what is proving to be a fascinating hobby.
So, many thanks for all that. The trouble is, I'm not really interested
so much in who's smooching who, or who's clawing out who's eyes and why.
Just noted that today is Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni's 250. birthday.
:-)
Cheers, Herbert

Hi Gary, List!
I collect: rocks (not only impactites), fossils (esp. fossil star fishes
and brittle stars), stone age artefacts and minerals; also sand samples
and extant samples of plants and animals (to compare with fossil
record). Has something slipped my mind? Ohh yes: meteorites of course!
Gary asked: What else does everyone collect?
1. Meteorites
2. Minerals (quartz, amethyst, rock crystals, agate, fluorite, pyrite)
3. Australian Kookaburra and kangaroo silver coins
4. Stamps (especially Germany from 1948 till now)
5. Books, literature about Ancient Pharaonic Egypt
6. Astronomy
That's why we'll wait invain for postings of the Heirs today. Be sure that
they are involved in an enormous party and don't expect them to post here
again before Sunday or so.

I started out 20 years ago collecting PLR's (Pretty Little Rocks). Then I
graduated to fluorite. I thought it was the coolest thing on the planet.
Then I discovered calcite. That was all I was ever going to collect. Nothing
else could turn my head. Full steam ahead for calcite!
