Dear E.P. Sterling, do you have a public formula handy for converting craters into megatons in a very rough number? ...perhaps he will generate a very easy to use > oversimplified rough approximation formula for Earth impacts. There ARE some simplified model equations for crater size and impac

Hard to pick typical melting points for mafics as composition seems to have quite an influence. Just looking at the olivine end members you have forsterite melting at 1890 degC and fayalite at around 1200 degC. In the 1g melting energy calcs I ignored the nickel content so the numbers I used for i

Shawn, I think you've misinterpreted your source a bit.  It says that Calcalong Creek was found AFTER 1960.  As I remember it Millbillillie fell in 1960, but no meteorites from that fall were found until the early 1970s.  Many stones were found in the 70s and 80s and are still being found today

Hi List, Maybe it's just semantics, but I would rank them thusly - Calcalong Creek was the first "recovered" lunaite, while ALHA81005 is the first "discovered" lunaite. :) Best regards, MikeG --- Galactic Stone & Ironwork

Hi all - Ahem. Jay, you are right that it is a hypothesis that the KT impacts were from fragments of the same comet. The other explanation, and a far more likely one, now that you mention it, is that Clube and Napier's injection mechanism was at work, and multiple comets hit at roughly the

Hi Greg, I can think of two examples of mysterious specimens. One is Shirokovsky and the other is Mendota. Scientists are certain that both are not meteoritic, but yet, nobody can explain how either one was created. Such stones fall under the category of "We know what it isn't..." versus "we kn
