Re: Not daunted by my Meteorwrongs...

On the other hand, you didn't say  'who'  examined the 'rocks' - I sure
wouldn't take just anyone's opinion.........did you go to a university
meteoritics dept., 'expert', who?

I know how you feel, though, about the meteorwrongs, I remember my first
humble submissions, a bucketful - to my friend and expert -  time after
time I heard "basalt, basalt, basalt"  as each one hit the ground with a
thud!   

Then, one day I will never forget - I found one!  Words can't describe my
joy!
