I don't see why calling it A "Rosetta stone" (not THE "Rosetta stone") is a "marketing term", as much as a description of the significance of the find. Now, "hammer stone", THAT is just a marketing term to me, because where a meteorite lands and what it hits has no scientific value or importance whatsoever. http://www.answers.com/rosetta+stone&r=67 "The term Rosetta Stone has become idiomatic as something that is a critical key to a process of decryption or translation of a difficult problem. For example, "the Rosetta Stone of immunology" and [5] "Arabidopsis, the Rosetta Stone of flowering time"." ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
