Hi Ruben, all,
The Catalogue of Meteorites (M.M. Grady, A.L. Graham), NHM London, Ed
2000, p 313, reports that the MACAU meteorite shower (Brazil, 1836)
killed several cattle (several oxen killed, houses damaged...).
They give some references (I did not go through).
See:
I recall, perhaps from Rodrigo's old site(?), that the early Spanish
explorers crossing the desert between present day Chile and eastern
point found many dead cows in that area much predating the meteorite
naming. And then that a dry wash named 'vaca muerta' in the mid 1800's
that appeared on

Hello Anne, Michael and List.
I would have to agree with Anne, in that if it struck the water, and sank to
the bottom, then it would not be considered a hammer, however, I assume that if
it hit the side of the pool and left physical evidence of that fact, then it
would be a hammer. This
Would a meteorite that landed on a paved road be considered a hammer
stone? Paved roads are 100% man-made, yet I know of several falls
that have been recovered from roads or parking lots and are not
referred to as hammer.

If you want a good deal just go to my auctions.
I can't understand prices like Sikhote Alin under $0.05/g, or Zagami

Would a meteorite that landed on a paved road be considered a hammer

By Michael's definition of this concept of hammer, why would you
require the road to be paved? Nothing magic about asphalt. Macadam,
gravel, graded dirt; etc. they all work. And for that matter, anything
that lands
Very good Doug.
Impeccable logic with a very funny conclusion.

Doug and all,
Please do not think my example is my definition of the concept of a
hammer-stone; quite to the contrary, it was to illustrate that not all
man-made targets should result in a meteorite being termed a hammer.

Perhaps, as a practical matter, a meteorite is only a hammer if there is some
damaged object that meteorite dealers can recover to sell to us collectors!

Now, if what hits water isn't a hammer, I get first dibs on naming it
