It is fascinating to see the newpaper article posted by Mark
Bostick on organic life in meteorites. For those of you who may
be interested, I wrote about Hahn and Weinland in Chapter 17 of my
new book, Disturbing the Solar System. Weinland was a zoologist
and he named a species of coral he found in meteorites after Hahn.
He called it Hahnia meteorica. He also believed the Widmanstatten
pattern in the Toluca iron was composed of fossilized plants.
