When the metaliban, those medieval extremists, phrasemongers of culture and
heritage, enemies of the progress of scientific cognition, the lost children
of the meteorite family,
will have closed each and every desert and each and every country under the
sun
for meteorite finding,

then, truly, o Rob, I promise you, that the first American lunaites (plural)
will be found.

Because the flock of the just and the assiduous will find their last meadow
in the land of the free.


What the above mentioned meteorite clowns always forget, when they greedy
stitch their mantras in their pillows (a H5, W4 a year is our Kingdom of
B... Heaven)
The finding rate of planetaries is a function of experience, hunting
conditions and first and foremost: the manhours spent.

Skol!

But maybe Sonny and you are faster :-)
I keep my fingers crossed.
Martin

P.S. In former times it was more sporty. Do I hear that Greenwich advertises
a reward for the first Martian found in the Commonwealth?

O tempora o mores...

;-)

Hi All,

When the first U.S. lunar is found, my bet is that the finder will
be either Sonny Clary or Jason Utas. Both have demonstrated the
ability to find non-ordinary-chondrite meteorites -- for instance,
Blue Eagle (R3-6) and Moapa Valley (CM1) by Sonny, and Superior
Valley 014 (acapulcoite) by Jason.

Another name I've seen come up lately with non-OCs is Bill
Sajkowicz: Chocolate Mountains (ureilite), Cargo Muchacho
Mountains (CO3), and Winterhaven (howardite). I find it remarkable
that one person has found a ureilite, a howardite and a CO3, and
yet I haven't found a record of any chondritic finds by him. This
is statistically next to impossible -- Bill must have found a LOT
of chondrites to have found these three.
