I've created a stone meteorite identification video of good quality.
With the success of Meteorite Men, the universities, labs, and some
dealers including me are suddenly receiving a big influx of meteorwrong
submissions. I wanted to create a video of instruction that any of us
could redirect the submitters to. Hopefully, the video will convince 3/4
that they don't have a meteorite, and they don't get mad at us for
dashing their $1,000,000 hope.

Even if we can filter out 50% of the submitters, the community is way
ahead in avoiding lost time.

It is hosted on youtube, and they provide a very nice html snippet if
you wish to embed this video in your webpage. Ideally the page the
visitors read before they contact you about their worthless rocks.
