Greetings, I have said for a long time that using magnets to test possible meteorites or use to show laymen that they attract a magnet isn't such a good idea as the magnetic field is wiped out.
Scientific studies are and will be deterred. Information we might have gleaned on parent bodies will have to be determined by other means if at all possible. I think there are even webpages that suggest using a magnet to see if a possible sample is attracted and a form of identification. We need to change our methods. --AL Mitterling Mitterling Meteorites On Tue, Apr 11, 2023 at 1:44 PM Leonard David via Meteorite-list < meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> wrote: > Leonard David FYI: > > Testing the damage hand magnets used by amateurs do to meteorites > > https://phys.org/news/2023-04-magnets-amateurs-meteorites.html > ______________________________________________ > Meteorite-list mailing list > Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list >
