Very interesting and compelling evidence.

explanations for tektites.Those that were on this list 15 years or more ago

others regarding

Hi Gary!
Thanks for the links. :)
When seeing the photo of the gorgeous regmaglypt-covered main mass,
there is no doubt about the meteoritic origins of this find. If this
photo had been widely distributed from the beginning, there would have
been no talk of bomb shrapnel. What a stunning mass
Thanks for the links, Gary - the first in situ pics I've ever seen of this

The 80 kg mass looks very much like an individual, similar to Sikhote.

I've always loved science, but I do think that some in the scientific
community tend to stretch things a bit thin sometimes. All kinds of theories
about all kinds of things are thrown around with little to support them. This

Btw. I can't understand that meteorites are set under laws for artifacts or
are referred to as artifact.

Hi Richard and List,
Generally-speaking, all impact craters have meteorites associated with
them, but the crater must be recent for the meteorites to be extant.
Of course I mean recent in terms of geological time. The most
ancient craters have no meteorites remaining. But we can collect the

Actually, a petrified slice of lime looks surprisingly similar to Allende.
