Mike F., can you explain why you are SO dogmatic that this Chixculub
material cannot not possibly be what it is because "It is impossible that
metalic material would survive millions of years, end of story"?
Isn't that rather a strong statement? I seem to recall that there are a
number of sites where traces of impactors of about 110mya old have been
found.
I would like to make one thing clear:
Ken (Magellon) asked the seller if the material he was selling had been tested, he answered that he didn't know where to turn to get it done but was willing to send a sample for testing.
Personally I am delighted that Adam and Greg were willing and able to get it tested quickly. Doing it at their own expenses is just frosting on the cake. I know the odds of these pieces being from the Chixculub meteorite are practically nil, but every potential material deserves to be tested.
So I would like to publically thank Adam and Greg, and I will be curious to see the results of the tests.
