Blood will chime in or another hammerhead will jump to the rescue.
All hammers are falls, because if a hammer falls and nobody is around
to notice it, it will never be discoveredand is therefore not a
hammer
Any hammer finds recorded? i.e. there's a big stone in the attic and a hole
in the roof, but nobody saw it fall.

Regine,
I completely agree with you,
My two cents: hammer stone is of interest to me and to many collectors I know.
I have several house hitting meteorites in my collection from Cali, Thika,
Guadalajara, etc with the rooftops they hit. But that goes with a particular
stone. One Thika which land
r own opinion and people
are aloud to collect meteorites as they see fit for their collection.

Hi Regine,
I agree in principle with what you are saying here, I really do. No
meteorite fall should ever be pigeon-holed or categorized solely
because a stone struck something, and therefore that stone has a
higher financial value. That completely defeats the purpose of
collecting meteorites.
Sorry to come up with the subject
matter again, but I keep thinking about this every now and then and
would like to add my two cents on it this time.
I agree with the "hammer fall" term being misleading, and so far haven't met
anyone who is very fond of it
except those who actually see it as a
