Jeff, Al, Martin and Listers,

After reading the posts I have a better idea how I am going to approach the Calcalong Creek and ALHA81005 meteorites and stay true to science and culture that these meteorites hold. I do believe the stories that follows these meteorites are great and right in their own. And I am also intrigued by the EETA79001 meteorite that Jeff had suggested about Mars meteorites. Al, being there when Robert unveiled the Calcalong Creek has to be an all time high to see and hold that meteorite. Now lets go out and find the first American Lunar meteorite guys.


Rock on

Let's make no mistake about the importance of ALHA81005: this was the
stone that led to the discovery that rocks from the Moon were present in
the meteorite record on Earth.

Likewise, EETA79001 was the stone that provided the first convincing
evidence that Mars rocks were present on Earth. Until that time,
Chassigny and Nakhla were just different kinds of achondrites.

These meteorites are the ones that belong in the science hall of fame.

Thats some big new for the meteorite/science world. I got to looking around and saw that the date was 1981 or 1982 when the lunar was discovered and I had also noticed on the Meteoritical Bulletin Database that Calcalong Creek was discovered 1960. I had also read other sources that stated that the Calcalong Creek was found after 1960 but before 1990 by an Aborigine meteorite hunter in the Millbillillie strewnfield. Science likes to be 100% right so to say that the ALHA81005 was the first discovered lunar meteorite has some doubt in my mind because of the project I am doing. Yes I can agree that the ALHA81005 is the first classified meteorite, however to say that it was the first lunar to be found has some little
 doubts

> because of what had be going on in Austrial from 1960 to 1990 with the collecting of the Millbillillie meteorites. I would like to see or hear what Robert Haag can recall from that day when he found that specail meteorite. Hes the first source and could help enlighten what he can recall from the day he found the first lunar meteorite out side of Anartica and could also be the first found lunar as well. Hope he reads this and can put some light on to this fasinating discovery.
