Hello Carl,
Not raining on anyone's parade. I didn't say an earthen dam was "not" man
made. I think qualifying such meteorite "strikes" as hammers is ridiculous!!
Michael Blood has an opinion, not a rule. If a meteorite lands in my yard or
a baseball field does it qualify as a "hammer" since these places were man
made? Over use of a term for marketing (not saying Steve had done this here)
is simply stupid!
If you want a true hammer stone, check out the Garza Stone from Park Forest,
along with other true house (structure) smashers, hitters, hammers,
whatever... (March 23rd will be six years old for that fall!).
My opinion!
Best regards,
Greg

Steve,
There is always someone to try and rain on your parade!
I did not realize earthen Dams were not man made? I thought it was CLEAR
that if it hits anything man made it is indeed a hammer? Where is Blood
here?
Did you find that 1673 gram piece or is it one you purchased? Is it the
main mass?
Congrats either way. You are still the king.

Respectfully Steve,
I do not think a meteorite hitting an earthen dam would qualify as a
"hammer". Think of all of the stones that hits roads (dirt or paved),
crop
field (man made), etc. I personally think this whole hammer qualification
has gotten out of hand.
On the other hand, congratulations to Qynne, she did a 'dam(n)' nice job
finding some!!
Best regards,
Greg
