The fact is that dinosaur fossils are not found at the k-T boundary. One has
to go 9-10 ft at best, below the boundary to find dinosaur bones in any of
the beds that contain dinosaur fossils. This represents a substantial period

I know very little about terrestrial geology (or any other, really ;-) but
it resembles altered granite, like a gneiss or (less so) a schist. Don't
have a lot of that out here to compare it to, though. Aside from cutting a
section of it, has any analysis been done on this rock? Does it pass
What would be the correct thing to call an impactor like Hadley Rille or
Bench Crater? I gather that 'meteorite' refers only to things that impact
Earth; how about things that hit other planets? Eventually we will find
more foreign bodies on other planets; may as well get the language

I was just informed that a number of contrails were seen over Palm Beach, California
this morning (around 7AM Pacific time), and at least one air burst

Hi Jeff and all,
In other words, if I correctly understand this, on another moon, asteroid or
airless planet, the part of a meteoroid that survives impact on another body
becomes a meteorite without an intervening meteor stage; (unless of

An update on the STARSHINE 3 upcoming decay. The reentry window has

Mohamed and Matteo,
It looks igneous to me...quartz or pyroxene crystals being the main mineral.
Black mineral maybe magnetite...or a amphibole or a mica.
Mohamed...question...does it attract to a strong magnet? If so, probably the
black is magnetite.

Frank, etc.,
Nope. You didn't understand all of what I said. The first part is
right: we don't care if there was a meteor or whether the body doing the
accreting had no atmosphere. Once the impactor survives landing, it
becomes a meteorite. If it becomes incorporated into a rock as a

I always thought that if it was in space it was called a meteoroid. When it
hit the atmosphere , it was called a meteor. When it hit the ground, it was
called a meteorite.
