Doug,
The metal specks in the ground surface sure look right!
The strong rusting of the exterior makes the chances of fusion crust
preservation pretty remote. Even with one of the bloody little devils in
our hands, it takes a lot of soul searching to feel "sure", but based on a fuzzy

Exactly the right question! The source crater for LDG is still absolutely
unknown. Whether these new features might be the source was my INSTANT
question, and I was disappointed that the subject received no comment. I'm
sure it will in due time, as this is still one of the big missing

Surely it has not escaped the list's notice that GOLFYX is an acronym that
translates loosely as Gelatinous Ooze Liquidating Fake Xenocrystic

I'm not sure which eBay offering you were looking at, but
here's my best shot: I don't like the term "regmaglypt" for any form of
tektite ornamentation, nor will you find it used in that context in the
literature. In meteorites, the term is typically used to describe pitting

Bernhard,
Pretty doubtful. The key feature you will see on all
fulgurites is a definite glass lining. The external surface is commonly
variably fused sand. Your specimen looks like limonite/goethite (check the
streak). If it's FeOx and lacks a glassy core, it's not a
fulgurite.

Mark others,
This is totally absurd. Look up "gabbro" if you can
spell it. Then write.

Tom all,
Tektites are now almost universally viewed as far-traveled impactites,
mainly terrestrial material splashed by meteorite impacts. Some
meteoritic components may be incorporated into the glass. Mysteries remain
as to why only a few impacts are known to have created tektites, and we're

It's a nice idea, but in cases like the australasian fall,
we're talking thousands to millions of tonnes of tektites. This poses big

As many of you know, I am mostly a tektite guy

Tom,
When there's a reserve set, if your maximum bid amount is less than the
secret reserve, your initial bid would be just the $10 starting amount.
However if you indicate a maximum bid that meets or exceeds the reserve,
your bid goes instantly to the reserve price.
Cheers,

Hey guys,
Don't be so astonished. We're all variously involved with a field of
interest that breeds and thrives on wild goose chases and tall tales, albeit
the meter or astiroid usually went down just behind the barn rather than
in it. No matter how jaded or seasoned we are, all of us sit up
