We should have a competition amongst the listoids to see who can name the most that are missing from the metstruck list - are you out there Ken N ? At this stage I suspect that both I and the great white hammer god will deem this to be an observed fall and methinx also a nearly nailed but NOT a hammer I do not wish to take away from your excitement as to trading for such an interesting and significant specimen and I thank you for bringing an interesting story to the list Any NZ falls/finds are damn near impossible to acquire - listoids will remeber Dean B posting re this and his tribe of street urchins searching for the fabled Ellerslie Cheers ----- Original Message ----- From: "ensoramanda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 12:46 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Exciting New meteorite material....Mokoia, Wairarapa and Alta Ameem > Hi Bob, > > Sorry, I apologise if I am misleading...I am obviously misunderstanding > what a 'hammer' is then....does it have to have hit a man-made object to > be called that?...I just assumed from following all the list discussions > that if it was observed to hit an object and damage it in some way it > was termed a Hammer. > > I have made it as clear as possible that it hit part of a tree, which > was collected and photographed and did not want to mislead. > Just though it made the fall that much more interesting.
