A quick clarification: I meant to say that Sterley is 1 of 38 approved
meteorites classified as Pallasite, PMG. A pallasite belonging to

The announcement of the Sterley pallasite has started me thinking
about pallasites. One of my pallasite quests is to read Q. David Bowers'
manuscript on pallasites. Does anyone have a copy, know where a copy is or
even seen a copy of it? I have written to Mr. Bowers in regards to it. I

contradistinction to a fall that was observed. The terminology of the
Meteoritical Bulletin Database is Observed fall: no.
The information being conveyed is NOT that the meteorite fell but that the fall

That would make sense for say New Orleans, where a stone went through a house
and no one in their right mind would suggest that it did not fall at that time
say between 8 am and 4 pm when there was no hole in the house, yet it was not
seen to fall.

An unobserved fall is two words to describe the one word that has
been used for a century, Find. The one word Find is good enough for
the Catalogue of Meteorites, it was good enough for Harvey Nininger,
and it is what I shall always use. Keep it concise.

Every single meteorite ever found on Earth is necessarily the result of
a fall, they are not native to Earth. The only difference is that some
falls are seen, witnessed, and some, the vast majoriry, are not.
So calling them Observed or Unobserved falls is logical. That is what
happened to all
Logic versus accepted terminology versus practicality.
I like the conciseness of Fall versus Find - It's easier to fit and write on a
specimen card. :-)
An unobserved fall may never become a find.

How about we compress it further and assign
0 for unobserved fall
and
1 for observed fall?
We could then use a flag and define them with a single bit, a logic
state of false for unobserved and true for observed?
Or a null state for unobserved and true for observed?

Hi all,
Unobserved fall reminds me of pre-owned car, a time-wasting,
dress-up term for used car. Anything that causes confusion in
terminology should be avoided. Unobserved makes you stop for a
second and wonder ... huh? Of course we get the difference, but find
vs. fall is crystal clear. And
G'Day All
what an interesting discussion, at least we can fill in between falls
or was that finds?
Jim, you crack me up and Mike you've got a good point there. I would

Anne, and listoids,
The IMPACTIKA Catalog of Meteorites has an asterisk beside some meteorite
names, designating falls.
NAME (*=Fall) Aren't they all falls now? ;^)
I'm fairly certain you're *not* going to amend it to differentiate between
Observed and Unobserved ones.
Cheers,
Linton
Yes, of course all meteorites fell on Earth therefore they are 'falls'! When
many people are infected with this extended 'fall' flu, the best medicine
for a cure can only be administered by humor...
Dr. Greg is in the house! ;-)

I observed a large quantity of specimen ID cards, before printing my own.
Fall vs. Find seemed to be well established, generally accepted, and just
plain traditional.
