After being bit by too many of those Texas Fire Ants, I was hoping to find at least one squished ant on the bottom of one of my finds, but alas, I never found the elusive "Ant Hammer Stone."

In addition to my last comment, that "hammer" should only refer to the offending stone that did damage, I think there has to be a certain fame or notoriety associated with the impact for it to be noteworthy enough for a special name like this. Certainly, the larger Sylacauga stone is worthy of the term. Peekskill, for the image of the mashed car that appeared everywhere. Benld is a great one, for those of you who remember the FMNH exhibit. If one of the Nakhla stones really got a dog or Valera got a cow, which everybody has heard about, then sure, these are hammers. But a piddly piece of some shower that dings a shingle on a roof? No way. It's still a subjective term, but let's give it some force. jeff **************Great Deals on Dell 15" Laptops - Starting at $479 (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1220433363x1201394532/aol?redir=http:%2F%2Fad.doub leclick.net%2Fclk%3B212935224%3B34245239%3Bb) ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
