the list has been pretty quiet about it.

Perhaps, Sterling, you are saying we should keep an open mind.
I don't totally disagree, but
There are some things that can help distinguish a meteorite from other rocks,
no matter where it comes from.
Number one: It will have or had a fusion crust.

Interesting to note: I've just re-re-read Robert T. Dodd's METEORITES, A
Petrologic-Chemical-Synthesis published 1981...and as early as the
Introduction (page 9) the concept of lunar meteorites was at that time
completely ruled out:
Although returned samples confirmed that the lunar maria

The timing is perfect. 1981? It was January 1982
when John Schutt found an odd Antarctic meteorite,
Allan Hills 81005. At the Smithsonian, Brian Mason
thought it resembled some rocks brought back from
the Moon by Apollo, and it was recognized.

Hi Sterling, Richard, all -
First off - Why should this be the Great Dismal Swamp? Why do some people
have a hard time talking about cometary injection mechanisms?
Second - Why do the impact hazard charts NASA provides to the Congress show a

Hello All,
Why do Moon Rocks make a better snack than Earth Rocks?...
...Because Moon Rocks are Meteor!
This was a joke a friend told me the other day who is not directly involved
in meteorites. It was a welcome bit of humor I appreciated so I thought I
would share!

Hi Jim!
Don't know the seller - seems to be a classical self classification to me,
which is not (in anyway) scientific approved.

I don't post much.
I did not do the math. (my calculus has not been used much for many many years.

sun escape velocity as it could do the whip around gravitational boost effect
from the sun.

Hi all -
A few comments - Here on Earth larger fragments survive impact due to explosive
lensing - I don't know how that applies to Mercury - Elton is the source for
best estimates and explanations on that.
The energies of impacts depend on what hits and how fast.
There is also the problem

There are several of these types currently on Ebay from different locations,
SoCal and Las Vegas. Ebay User names start with Dr.

Not a meteorite. Not sure what he gets the idea that there are
no volcanic rocks in San Bernardino County -- patently absurd.
The dry lake beds of San Bernardino County are COVERED with 'em.
But that's neither here nor there. In the immortal words of Bob

Hi Rex,
Escape velocity depends on the mass of the planet, not it's orbital parameters.
Maybe I don't understand your question. Is this what you are asking?

Yes and know. I am not looking at escape veolcity but a highly epilicitcal
orbit whose middle values could be say inside the orbit of Venus yet extend out
to Earth becuase of its Elipitcal natture.
So average value is say venus or even closer?

Hi Count,
Right away you can tell that the this piece is probably a
meteorite..although methinks it ain't an iron...by the experienced
guys who are commenting on this post.
Surely you jest! ;-) Or you're poking some good-hearted fun at
experienced guys because of the feedback you got about
Hi Walter and great to see you still active on the list, also Sterling

Rex is referencing my comment on the escape velocity from the Sun, in
addition to the escape velocity from the planet. I.e., the closer you
are to the Sun, the greater the escape velocity

Does anyone know if J. Warnica off Portales is still with us. If so

I have acquired a small lot of rare carbonado impact diamonds. These

Hi All,
I respectfully suggest these are not meteorites but rather a
carefully contrived scheme with three suspect IDs:
'little-old-ladies-from-pasadena' from HESPERIA, CA
'dr.moe52' from HESPERIA, CA
'dr.gh' from LAS VEGAS
Too many similarities in the auctions. Highly suspect identities.
