Shawn, Please show me the reference that Weston hit some manmade object.  I've never run across that and didn't see it in Silliman and Kingsley's report. I think that it's on Michael Blood's site but believe he's in error. Thanks, Frank - Original Message From: Shawn Alan To: Meteo

Why not take the suggestions that have been made and be more concise in your descriptions for the benefit of people who don't understand that your use of word semantics are just plain misleading. Do you think this is a game? Follow Gilmers advice. Never thought I'd say that, lol. Bill

Hello All, Glad this is getting some attention...again. A few years ago I went back and forth on the list with a long-time dealer selling "hammers" as pretty much any stone from any fall where at least one stone had hit anything noteworthy (a subjective matter, to be sure). The banter thank

Omission of specifics and all the rest of your bs is nonsense. You know exactly what you're doing. There's no point in arguing. Your ads are directed at the poorly informed. Insinuating that one of your crumbs is a man killer is pathetic hype and I pity your unfortunate customers. Bill ---

Hi Folks, One of my biggest pet peeves is when people mistakenly refer to desert varnish as fusion crust. I see it all the time. Wind-polished UNWA chondrites that have been sandblasted for centuries (or eons) have NO fusion crust on them. That glossy dark-brown coloration is the result of aeol

Hi All, The use of the word "Hammer" when referencing/advertising meteorites, should only be used to describe an actual stone which hit an artifact (man made object). Using the word "Hammer" or Hammer Fall" in advertisements to sell stones that are not actual Hammer-Stones is misleading and

I fully concur, the explosion of new dealers has muddied the market and some people are a little "loose" with their words and descriptions. If people want to own a piece of a meteorite which actually hit something, it should require plenty of proof and documentation as to the specimen, chain of
