The articles, do not necessarily represent my views. If you need
comment about them, either post your comments as a reply to
this thread or correspond with the authors of the article.

Finally, an article that is unrelated to meteorites, but still quite
interesting.

(During the Ediacaran period more than a half billion years ago,
clay mineral coats likely shielded delicate remains, helping
them become exquisitely preserved in rock, recent experiments
suggest.)
