Greetings,
I've had fun reading this discussion but a good one none the less. When
I joined this list (shortly after it's creation) we had a discussion on
fireballs and bolides. With all of the discussion, members couldn't
agree on those terms of use. I then realized if we couldn't come to
grips with what I thought a simple term, we were in trouble with the
really complicated ideas.
Of course everyone knows that a bolide is a fireball that breaks apart ;-)
Best!!

Quoting Paul Swartz via Meteorite-list <[email protected]>:
"Regmagyps" are the fingerprint-like depressions on a fake meteorite :)

Starting to wander off topic...
Unless we want to continue inventing more words that are related to
meteoritics?
I propose we start simplifying "regmaglypts" to "remagyps" until it
catches on.
