[meteorite-list] Claims of Extrasolar Spherules from Pacific Ocean Site CNEOS 2014-01-08 Disputed

[meteorite-list] Warning to Sellers: New $600 threshold for third-party payment reporting.

2022-11-26 Thread Paul via Meteorite-list

People, who sell meteorites, need to remember there is a new
$600 threshold for reporting on Form 1099-K for third-party
payments.

IRS warns taxpayers about new $600 threshold for third-party payment 
reporting

Kate Dore, CFP®, CNBC
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/23/heres-why-you-may-get-form-1099-k-for-third-party-payments-in-2022.html

There is a bill in Congress that would change it to 5,000 dollars.

S.3840 - Cut Red Tape for Online Sales Act
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3840

“This bill modifies requirements for third party settlement
organizations to eliminate their reporting requirement with respect
to the transactions of their participating payees unless they have
earned $5,000 or more. A third party settlement organization is the
central organization that has the contractual obligation to make
payments to participating payees (generally, a merchant or business)
in a third party payment network.”

"...variations in the topography of the Precambrian basement and

for the geophysical anomalies..."

"Therefore, there is currently no evidence in support of the

[meteorite-list] Globally distributed iridium layer preserved within the Chicxulub impact structure

2021-02-25 Thread Paul via Meteorite-list

Iridium in undersea crater confirms asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs
Hamish Johnston, Physics World, February 24, 2021,
https://physicsworld.com/a/iridium-in-undersea-crater-confirms-asteroid-wiped-out-the-dinosaurs/

Tha paper is:

Goderis, S., Sato, H., Ferriere, L, et al. 2021, Globally distributed
iridium layer preserved within the Chicxulub impact structure
Science Advances  24 Feb 2021: Vol. 7, no. 9, eabe3647
https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/9/eabe3647

There are arguments that seismic waves from the Chicxulub
impact did a superfrack job on the Deccan flood basalts and
magnified their eruptions. Go see;

Richards, M.A., Alvarez, W., Self, S., Karlstrom, L., Renne, P.R.,
