Hi Dean, Yes this is very confusing and unscientific. As you deal in fossils, I think you have a gut appreciation of what a fossil is (rare occurence, once living, formed in a long process, from sediment deposition) and what it is not (an inorganic rock). For example, Adam Hupe has been

It seems to me that there are at least four or five different things that people may be trying to describe using various terms, including fossil and paleo. 1) The original minerals in a meteorite may be partially or completely converted to terrestrial minerals on earth. 2) During alteration

Dean, since the loose definition of fossil is any evidence of former life, obviously a meteorite, well, most;-), cannot be a fossil. Paleo, or old, is the better term, and in the case in discussion represents a meteorite that has fallen in past times to the extent of having been incorporated

Hi list, Can anyone tell me when the word fossil was first used to describe meteorites of this kind? The use of the term to refer to obtaining anything by digging comes from the early 17th century, its use with chiefly organic remains a century later (1736). I was wondering whether the word, in

I can't answer when, but I do think that using fossil as an adjective applied to ancient meteorites is perfectly acceptable. In geology (and other sciences) it usually means anything preserved from an earlier geologic age, not necessarily something living. Fossil meteorite is as valid as
