   I have been wondering about this for some time.
Here in central Ohio- weather conditions are far from
the best for preservation of meteorites.
   Yet I keep looking in the farm fields when I get
some time.
   This is an awkward question to ask- Is there any
way to identify a former meteorite that has been
terrestrialized? I understand the irons will go to
shale- but how about the stoneys?
   One side of me also questions that no matter what
rock you pick up- ultimately it's compounds have to be
from terrestrialized space material from billions of
years ago.
   Would any of you have any suggestions to
identification of "recent" terrestrialized fall
criteria that could be recognized?

Thank You
Mike Groetz
