Dr Ted Bunch has done a bunch of stuff for meteorics and geology. Primitive achondrites? Not so primative. Chondrules not so contrite. Irons with an irony. I made a bitch fit a while back about the aging of meteoric material. Dr Bunch may agree in some aspects that current aging is flawed. As

A long while ago, before I had a clue who Dr. Ted Bunch was, I was given his name and contacted him with a question about a rock whose interior I thought (at the time) resembled LA001 and would he be interested in seeing it? Sure. Of course I sent it off, and being a newbe I had huge hopes,

Dear Meteorite List and Count Deiro, I read with interest the posts regarding the 2011 Tucson Auction. I have attended the Blood auction in past years and always enjoyed myself. The Count's post seems to indicate that Michael's auction was conducted poorly. I realize that you have emailed that it

Hi All, Of course they deny that the rock is real. There is no reason for them to acknowledge the loss of any material and if they were to confiscate it, these pretenders would simply be encouraged. So ignore them and hope values never get established. RobH http://www.processchemistry.com
