Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Hammers (AD)
Hi All, About 7 years ago I stumbled upon a page in the web site of Walter Branch. The page was a listing of all meteorites reported to have struck something when they fell to earth - some man made object, animal, or even a human being (such as the case of Sylacauga). I immediately found myself entranced by these very special meteorites and began collecting as many of these extraordinary falls as possible. I had already been collecting meteorites for many years, but this new realm had an entrancing effect on me like none other before, with the possible exception of the obsession I developed to collect and offer every non-Antarctic SNC when there were only 6 of them known at the time (though only 4 had ever been available when I started). I read more and more, found other lists, began collecting photos, and, of course, buying at least a collection specimen of everything I could lay my hands on. In fact, I was so amazed at how difficult it was to find these precious rarities after the first dozen or so, I began in earnest to buy all the material I could find of the most rare varieties rarely seen (and I DON'T mean rarely seen as the term is used in eBay ads!) It has taken me well over 5 years to accumulate the stock I have built up and I have spent the last several months putting together a web site that not only lists each of the falls I offer in this rare category, but in most instances shows a photo or two of the building, car, roof, barn, mailbox, etc. actually struck by the meteorite. These are the car bashers, mailbox crunchers, house smashers, animal killers and human maulers. This is the real rogues gallery of the meteorite world. You are all invited to drop in and take a look see. I kept waiting and waiting to open this site because I always have one or two things on the way - but with over 30 falls represented, I decided I would use my 60th birthday as an excuse to launch this puppy. I am indebted to numerous people including, but not limited to, Walter Branch, Martin Horejsi, Bob Walker, Robert Haag, Edwin Thompson, Al Lang, and the list goes on on. I hope you enjoy what you see. Many of the photos took many, many hours of research - and some of those were the easier ones to find. There are links to dozens of videos of the Peekskill fireball, a photo of oh, well, just go there for yourselves. Check it all out at: http://www.michaelbloodmeteorites.com/Hammers.html This site will be obsessively kept up to date in terms of stock availability. I know I haven't always done this in my regular catalog, but this page will be updated with each and every sale and all new material as it comes in on a daily basis. Can you tell I am excited about it? Best wishes, Michael PS: If you have or know of any applicable material not on my site that is available for mere money, please let me know. I will give anyone a nice finder's fee for any material I end up purchasing as a result of a lead given to me. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
