G'day all,
I received a very interesting email today from someone who had read through
my Sikhote-Alin Impact Pit page. They sent me a couple of photographs of a
large gun on Corregidor Island, Philippines which was damaged from a WW2
bomb. The resulting damage is unmistakably similar to the pits
Hi, Jeff,
This is a coastal defense gun, intended to be used
against approaching naval forces. The longest-range
coastal pieces were the two 12-inch guns of Batteries

Although capable of an all around traverse, these guns,

Dear List,
We would like to share a few photos of interesting desert finds with you,
which we acquired during the last months in Morocco, and which are worth
being looked at in our opinion. Unfortunately, we hadn't time yet to prepare
the pieces for the classification, but we'll send samples of
Moni's post I found most interesting of all,

I have to agree with Mark Ford - I think it is a little dangerous to launch

Hi All,
Another mystery:

I'm hard pressed to imagine a scenario by which a meteorite can land at
anything other than a near vertical angle. From the picture, it's
obvious this thing had some serious velocity (judging by the damage
