As far as I know, one of the first published uses of the term
"Meteor-wrong" was by Edward Olsen in the April 1979 issue of the Field
Museum of Natural History Bulletin. He wrote an article with that title
discussing some of his experiences as the meteorite curator at the Field
Museum in Chicago.
Meteor vineyard is selling a 3-pack of their current release of Meteor Wine
for $375.00, still steep, but a lot less than $200 a bottle. You have to
join their mailing list (which is free) to enable you to purchase their
products. I've never tried it, so I cannot evaluate its quality. Just FYI.
Is this the first published description of a falling meteorite? It's from
the Aeneid Book II:
The old man had barely spoken when, with a sudden crash,
it thundered on the left, and a star, through the darkness,
slid from the sky, and flew, trailing fire, in a burst of light.
We watched it
It is indeed.

A few meteorites do contain rare grains of SiO2 including tridymite, quartz
and cristobalite, but generally these grains are quite small and intergrown
with other silicate phases. Some IVA irons contain a few blades of
trydimite, but if you see a rock with several percent or more of quartz
grains

I have an anecdote. At the 1984 Meteoritical Society meeting in
Albuquerque, there were scientific talks presented by Gary Huss, his father
Glenn Hus, and his grandfather Harvey Nininger. This may be the only time
that three generations of one family gave scientific talks at the meeting
of a
If anyone is interested, I'm ready and willing to classify the samples.

When I initially classified Ningqiang, there were no known CKs. We
classified it as CV3 because that was the closest group, but we noted that
its refractory lithophile element abundances didn't match CV that well.
Later, when we defined the CK group, it became obvious that Ningqiang was
more like
A previous example is the 1972 fireball observed over Utah, Montana
and Alberta, but this body never came closer than about 57 km from the
Earth and was much smaller (say 5-15 m or so) than the one
hypothesized here. The 1972 object produced sonic booms but no damage.
It was observed by many and
For those who are interested, there is a similar pattern on the Haig
IIIAB iron, as illustrated on page 62 of the book Meteorites and their
Origins by G. J. McCall (1973).

Free silica is at most an accessory component in known meteorites. If
the whole rock has a high cristobalite peak, it is likely a
terrestrial rock. Possibilities include sandstone, quartzite and
various silicaceous igneous rocks.

I examine the specimens (or images of them if they do not send pieces) and
then give them my best guess as to what the sample could be. Some people
are insistent that I am wrong or that I am running some kind of a scam. I
usually continue the conversation for one or two more rounds before I give
Of course, you could send an email to Gary Huss.

I discussed the possibility of terrestrial meteorites in Rubin (2015),
Icarus 257, 221-229. Neglecting the effects of the Earth's atmosphere,
it would take five times as much energy to launch a basaltic rock off
the Earth as it would to launch the same mass rock off Mars. Except
for Black Beauty,

I am really surprised that a press release was issued on work that has not
even been submitted for peer-reviewed publication. There seems to be no age
data, no bulk chemical data, and no shock data. The authors seem to claim
it was launched off Earth just 10,000 years ago, but I don't know where
It would have a cosmic-ray exposure age of 4.4 billion years. No iron
meteorite has a CRE age anywhere near that.
