Duh? As I have been saying all along the impact from behind of a second object
caused the detonation and also deflected the main mass causing it to fall 10
meters or 16.5 degrees away from its expected trajectory. Meteorites unless
deflected will land falling nearly perpendicular to the earths
oops almost forgot! If the frontal pressure exceeds tensile strength it causes
the entire object to vaporise. meaning there would be nothing less than dust
left of the meteorite. and nothing left to make a hole in the ice.

Hi List,
Quick question ...
Has anyone had problems with my website checkout lately? I have
received four reports that my website checkout was crashing or
freezing up during the part of the checkout where you select a
shipping method, or when the checkout moves to the PayPal login. It
is a

The story is different in northwest Africa, he (Tony Irving)said, and
showed a slide of several Berbers in ethnic garb reading a meteoritics
journal. The audience (including me) laughed, because it was a
surprising image.

yanked out our Land Rover in the middle of the night by some military

Dear Peter and List,
Peter your stones appear to be either industrial slag or coal stove
clinkers. They are NOT meteorites and NOT from an asteroid. There are many
good books on meteorite identification and they will save your time and gas.

Hi Peter
I'm afraid all the pictures I can get to work from your links are all
typical of terrestrial industrial slag and not meteorites.

Yes, very much terrestrial. Most likely slag.
You may want to study this site very carefully:

Hi Twink,
I very much enjoyed watching the full 30 minutes -- even though
I've never been to Gold Basin, I've houseboated a half-dozen times
at Lake Mead, so the terrain is very familiar. :-) Great to see

I just want to take the opportunity yo say, based on this experience,
and others, for a so-called scientific community, and as someone who
has studied language, specifically, English, throwing caution to the

understand why it is

Hi Peter,
I am open to opinions, but, in truth, it is almost an atrocity
the way the objects depicted in some, to my own discredit, less-
than-stellar photographs can be absolutely dismissed off-handedly,
and so quickly!
In this particular case, your pictures are not at fault. They show
Hi Peter.why ask one of most experienced group of meteorite
enthusiasts and experts (all of which are passionate about helping
others to search for new finds and material) for an opinion based on a
visual analysis/photos of your samples if you are certain for yourself

enough that apparently a number of experienced members here are

it) that what you have is not meteoritic. [If I were to put a

Wow. The learning curve seems to remain very steep.
Peter, my above comment isn't meant as a criticism, simply a reality. My
initial interest in meteorites was sparked by the countless meteorwrongs I
