Greetings to all. I have been told that only one in one thousand rocks submitted to the experts at the universities and other meteorite identification labs, turns out to be an actual meteorite. If this is true, how can the hundreds of uncut, unclassified rocks from northwest Africa be passed off as meteorites? I'm not questioning that they all are, and I'm certainly not doubting any of the list members who are selling them. I just would like to know if there is some magical test. Is the Sahara, like the ice of Antarctica, the test itself? Does any rock that sits on the sand automaticly become a meteorite candidate because that is the only way it could have gotten there? I've got on my asbestos BVD's, so light the flamethrowers. Thorny
