Well, after the feedback, I can either choose one of my own, since I have
always liked the term Sky Stones for meteorites, that might make me a Sky
Stoner, ?????
or I can choose between being a phile or a cist. ????
meteoriticist ( I feel is probably more correct )
Meteoritophiles (A very close second )
Baetylophages. ( I do have a couple on a pedestal )
Starrockers ( When's the concert, I worked as a roadie for a while, I can
also count past two, one, two, testing... three, see.)
Telepetrologists. ( Well done )
Meteorists ( Another maybe )
Cheers all, Kevin. VK3UKF.
A question on the correct terminology for someone who collects meteorites?
A meteorologist is someone that studies the atmoshpere and properties
related to our weather.
A numismatist is a collector of monies and related articles, coins,
banknotes, shares, cheques., a notaphilist is someone that specialises in
banknote currencies.
What, are we to call ourselves, there must be a correct terminology for
what we are?
Collectors of meteorites.
Kevin, VK3UKF.
