Darren, I thought you meant to say the community of hammer collectors within the meteorite collecting community was small -- relative to the international meteorite collecting community itself. Apologies for missing that...my bad. Many serious meteorite collectors look down their noses at hammer collectors, and that's where I thought you were going. Either way, an interesting thread on a seriously vaguely defined aspect of meteorite collecting... All best, Dave www.fallingrocks.com

With no solid numbers whatsoever to back me up, I'd bet that there were far more people actively collecting and concerned about tag variants on Beeny Babies at their height than have ever even HEARD of a "hammer" meteorite. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
