More to the point where are all the earth meteorites? We should be able
to recognize them, (one would hope!), I guess as most of the earths
immediate surface is soil, or sedimentary rock(s), an earthite meteorite
would be pretty strange do date no true 'sedimentary' meteorites have
been found?, I guess it would probably look like a tektite I.e silica
glass... or would they be just be highly shocked ordinary terrestrial
rocks but with a fusion crust?
