Look, I already discussed this with Dr David Kring, who has been working on Chixculub for the last 10 years, he laughed so hard he almost choked. It is not that it is impossible for something to exist, it would however be kilometers deep, not laying on Cancun's beaches. Just from reading the story, you can tell who the freaks are from the serious people trying to figure something out. If he had just asked for help instead of putting up the glorious eBay site extolling his rare goodies, I would be more supportive. Dave, do you support the Frass meteorite too? Just from looking at the guy's site, there is no further need for studying that stone.

HI, Mike F., can you explain why you are SO dogmatic that this Chixculub material cannot not possibly be what it is because "It is impossible that metalic material would survive millions of years, end of story"? Isn't that rather a strong statement? I seem to recall that there are a number of sites where traces of impactors of about 110mya old have been found. Why not let the academics provide the answer instead of shooting from the hip all of the time? BTW I did not purchase any of this material, but I admired the fact that Shomin at least is attempting to get a proper result rather than like Mo Yousef continually insisting that it is meteoritic. You should be supporting him, not dissing him respectfully yours, of course dave IMCA #0092 ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
