Hello Listers,

I would like to thank everyone that emailed me with their answers.

The question to the pop quiz was:

What year was the first chemical analysis of a fallen meteorite done in, by whom, and what is the name of the meteorite.

The Answers

1769
Lavoisier, or Fougerous de Bonderoy or Louis-Cadet de Gassicourt. Lavoisier was the chemist to read the report to the academy in 1769 about Luce meteorite which feel in 1768.

I would like to congratulate John.L.Cabassi for being the 5th Lister to email me with the correct answers. John will receive a free Tagish lake meteorite sample.

Please stay tune to next weeks POP QUIZ, this one will be a fun one and the winner from next week will receive a micro meteorite LOT and it isn't Tagish Lake. All?I can say is?its one of the first to have this recorded in USA.

Stay turn and thank you every one for submitting your?answers and I am enjoying that people are learning and having fun with these POP QUIZZES.
