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
Dear List,
This morning Mal Bishop offered the following as a reference for
Weston being a “hammer”: “At least one stone hit a building during the
Weston Fall according to Nininger's, "Find A Falling Star" -- reference

Dear List,
I am happy to see this discussion, since I have considered asking
Mr. Blood for his Weston reference for some time.
Dr. Isaac Bronson and Rev. Horace Holley conducted the first
expedition to the Weston fall area on 19 December 1807. They described
three stones. Professors

Dear Mike and other listees
I have samples of both the Benares and the Weston in the collections here. The
Benares comes in at 1.27kg and the Weston at 390g. The Weston sample is one of
the biggest outside the US I believe. Sorry no trades.

Hi,
When I have any doubt about a sample I ask about its provenance. If they are
are unwilling to give me the info I requested I don't do business with them.
Better safe than sorry.

another question, how did you get Benares? Not a gram in India and about 100 or
so grams known, Karl has two complete stones from old collections, rest in
London. Rarest of the rare. What provenance do you have to offer Benares on
eBay?
This has been bothering a lot of people for a long time. T
I'm just curious where this endless supply of extreme rarities flows from? I've
had massive collections and in nearly 17 years only seen about 100 grams of
Weston in mine, Not to mention many others.
Something like Weston does not need a gimmick or embellishment to sell itself.

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,
