Re: Meteorite origins caution may be humorous ??
Hi to All listees
Here's what I look for !!
The lunar meteorites have a slight green tint , and I think some have
little smiley faces, or wait is it the extra set of cheeks ??? And don't
they have that curios smell of cheese ??? I almost broke my tooth testing
the last one !!!
Needless to say I haven't found one yet !!!
Maybe someone could give us some insight on what to look for in those
martian meteorites ,Besides the red color and little green guys ???
Happy Huntin

Dear George,
The grammatical changes that I made on the letter were not meant to be rude
or confrontive - I apologize for my misguided helpfulness. I am not a
scientist, but I thought I would try to help the community where my
strengths are. Again, I apologize.
Good Luck and Best Regards,
Lawrence Linteau

In a message dated 06/04/99 13:04:28 GMT, you write:
<< This is my whole point. How do you know that it contains bubbles from
the Martian atmosphere? The meteorite that contains those bubbles formed
around 4 billion years ago. The atmosphere on Mars then was very
different from the atmosphere of today. Therefore, how can you compare
the two? >>
4 billion years?
I thought the SNC crystallisation ages ranged from 2 million years up to
1.3
billion years, but stand to be corrected on that. Remember that these are
igneous rocks excavated from different depths, so they were molten at a
comparatively recently when compared to others that we know originated from
within the asteroid belt.
The trapped gases are not an exact match to the atmosphere tested by the
Viking landers.....but they are very similar. The evidence is greatly
stacked
in favour of the SNC's originating from Mars, so confidence is high - but
few
scientists will declare that as 100% definite if there is even the tiniest
amount of un-certainty.
Where else could these SNC's have come from if not the planets?...they are
too young to be from the asteroid belt.
I'm convinced, but then I also believe in Nessie.....especially during the
tourist season ;-)
Cheers,
Rob.
