"Apparently, none of this work has been published in a peer-reviewed journal," Morrison said in an e-mail to The Chronicle. "The idea that debris from a supernova explosion coalesced into low-density, comet-like objects is unsupported in terms of any science that I know of." Also, the claim of tiny impact craters in the tusks "is pretty obviously false," Morrison said. "No such grains could get through the atmosphere." ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
