If there's one thing I never tire of on the Meteorite List, it's the
fascinating, seemingly never-ending discussion of what does and does not
constitute a hammer stone. It never gets old. You have semantics,
definitions, degrees of hammerness, lively arguments over what is or is not
a man-made

Dear Listees and Innocent Bystanders,
A few words about the jargon used to describe the so-called hammer meteorites...
When I first entered the hobby, back in 2007, if you searched the
internet for meteorites that had struck things, you would inevitably
land on Michael Blood's website or a small

To be honest, I would consider doing this with an experienced hunter

I can't say with much certainty right now. The trajectory Jake came up
with is the best guess right now and I do think it is very close to
reality. However, based on some witness reports and also analysis of

I totally agree! This comes up all the time...that meteorites are so under

placed on stones. I broke near even on my first trip to Lotus based on my

I agree, a 'fall' cannot be a hammer, only a single stone can be, so it should
always be a 'hammer stone'

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Confusing & Misleading - (
Let's cut through the semantics. No amount of semantics will change the
fact that the phrase "Hammer Fall" is confusing and misleading.
The nomenclature is simple.
Hammer = Correct
Hammer Fall = Misleading, confusing, and an incorrect use of the term.
It's really not that complicated.

I have samples of both the Benares and the Weston in the collections here. The
