Absolutely! Why not? It makes perfect sense. Not sure why it's taken science this long to start accepting the idea. We have Mars and Lunar meteorite recovered on Earth that were ejected millions of years ago and fell no too long ago in geologic history. Mars has many meteorites on it which were

Re: [meteorite-list] Lost 2005 Hammer Fall - Montney - Will it ever be an offical recongized fall?

Hi Mike: Probably not. The main mass remains in private hands, and the Geological Survey of Canada Research section which deals with meteorites has done little work on it. A tentative classification of H6? was given soon after the fall. Other than that, nothing has been done. There are 14 o

List, All, I would like to explain the situation here as I see it. To me this whole story is amazing. Out of the blue Guido posts on the met-list that he is in possession of a very rare meteorite. After looking at the mere photos of it I responded that it "looked like Cat MT in every way". Much

Hi Guido, My questions are. Was the find really made there..in that sub-division, or are the coordinates incorrect in the Bulletin...and if so, was this done on purpose? Yes this is the true location of the find. Please, if you have any other information let us know! As with all my other f

Hi Count Guido I have absolutely no knowledge, but there are several factors you need to consider before sparring with the Met Bulletin. First, is the coordinate system specified? It is quite easy to mix up WGS's in those sorts of localities regardless of what the official policy is ... T
