Now I have to search for safe ways of chiseling ammonites out of the bedrock:
Andrei, writing about the Vitim Bolide Event, says: "Local residents, who have a lot of experience in mining operations using large charges of ammonite (sic), claim that the associated sounds of explosion were rather powerful." (Meteorite, February 2004, page 30, column 2, paragraph 3.)
Since Morocco produces ammonites in great quantities, it will only be a matter of time before this trade is curtailed under WMD non-proliferation treaties...
(Since so much seems to be "Lost in Translation," please note that this posting is a joke based upon an editorial error. No disrespect is intended to either Andrei or Joel who I hope will appreciate the serendipitous humor in homophonic words.)
Cheers, Nick
P.S. It was great seeing many of you in Tucson.
