Hi, Darren, Pete Pete, and List, Firestone's notions are not new. From the year 2000, this is Firestone's paper on the evidences of episodes of irradiation in the historic past. The evidence is quite good; the work solid; the supposition that a supernova is responsible is reasonable, but

RE: [meteorite-list] Crackpot impact theory

It is a crackpot theory because any supernova explosion 250 light years away that happened 40k years ago would be a major object in the night sky, not to mention that the gamma rays from a supernova that close would have wiped out ALL life on earth not just a few mammoths. -- Eric Olson ELKK

Hi List, Thanks Carsten for all the great photos of Capot Rey. One thing that does not show up in the photos very well however is the appearance of the metal in the dark channels. There are some typical flecks but in the piece I have, much of the metal is drawn out into thin, curving lines that

Re: [meteorite-list] Capot Rey IMB

Dear Carsten, Thank you!!! If it is an IMB then it is worth more and certainly a very beautiful one. I would suggest that you also send him a small piece of the H5 portion so that he can confirm that they indeed are from the same meteorite. Maybe you have two different meteorites? Great job.

It is, according to that what I read on their hp. and this time you're acting exemplarily :-) "It is every IMCA member's responsibility and pleasure to offer help and assistance to fellow members in order to ensure specimens are genuine" And if I the "ByLaws"...they are full of phrases, which cou

Hi again too, and again I say: Holy IMCA do something for your image and find a place, where this IMB-Capot-Rey will be examined. Here in Germany you have to beg the few universities on your knees, that they accept something, which has chondrules inside and you can wait up to 3 years for a result.

Hello again, Again, you have missed my point. I am simply saying that the proper science should be done to confirm it as an IMB. No-one is saying it's not a beautiful and very striking meteorite but do you dissagree that this meteorite should not be properly studied? Cheers, Jeff - Original

Hi Jeff, why it should not be an IMB? Maybe you have in mind, if you think to an IMB, only such optically on first glimpse uniformly looking black IMBs like Cat Mountain or el Kachla, as they have only a poor contrast between melt and clasts? An IMB has not to have lost all chondritic structures,
