Hi Doug,
You made my point re Sylacauga. Just because it wasn't a "direct
hit" doesn't mean it did not hit a human.
As for "Hammer stone" - it goes like this:
I coined the term "hammer" for meteorites that "nailed something" -
Meteorites that struck a man made object, dog, cat, cow, human, etc.
The meteorite, itself is a "hammer."
Therefore, referencing a "hammer stone" is entirely redundant.
(like saying a "car car").
Hope that clears it up.
Best wishes, Michael (PS: I do hope the door mat had the
Classic "Welcome" on it, so the little feller felt wanted!)
