Hi List! I have been following the recent discussion on hammer falls, which I inadvertently started when I asked other list members to share their witnessed falls and hammers.
Well, I acquired another piece and I am wondering if it is a hammer or not. In a recent trade, I got a 1.5 gram fragment of Juancheng with fusion crust on it. I know Juancheng is a witnessed fall, and I recall hearing storied that it was a shower and that some stones pelted rooftops. I also recall a story about a stone landing in a cookpot. I don't remember where I read these stories - maybe it was here on the list. At any rate, for my own records, I'd like to know where Juancheng resides in the spectrum of hammer falls. Is it a "confirmed" hammer? Is the cookpot story true, or just a dubious anecdote? I checked Michael Blood's Hammer pages, which I consider to be definitive or near-definitive, and I didn't see Juancheng. Best regards, MikeG .........................................................
