Adam, the next time one of your meteorites is on
MSNBC, I am willing to bet you will advertise it.
And by the way, there was plenty of new information in
that same post you are crying about, like for example
the classification, which I am sure about 100 people
who have bought pieces were interested in.

So feel free to delete. By the way, why would you say
crater more than 40 feet across is an impact pit? What
size do you feel makes a crater?

Check out this dictionary definition of crater, try #2
and tell me that Carancas does no apply. You will
certainly be in the minority who do not want to call
this a crater.
