diamonds (using Raman Spectroscopy) also Lonsdaleite (hexagonal
diamond), shocked stage - low it means that it is very interesting

If they see that the Meteorite Men are at these secret locations, this
secrecy can perpetuates the lack of importance of documentation, they no

The first time Steve Arnold ever visited with me we smoked fine cigars
at my home in Fort Myers, Florida and pondered co-authoring a book

more people to the hobby of collecting meteorites. The conspiracy

Hi Shawn,
I agree that the public needs to be informed about how to recover
meteorites in the field and preserve scientific data.
Recovering meteorites and their coordinates is vitally imporant to the
science of meteorites. However the degree of importance is also based in
part on how long
I agree 100% that locations should be recorded.
If you look at the job that Jack and Dave did with the Whetstone fall, as I
have said before, that should set the benchmark for recoveries and recording
locations. Anything less should be unacceptable.

That one is MUCH harder for the non-French to pronounce.
