I came across this statement on a recent list:

I wrote several times to the museums of Windhoek, Namibia, but they never
answered: really funny!

>From my occasional experience writing to African museums on herpetological
subjects, I often found success by sending physical mail with international
reply coupons if email went unanswered.

Hello Listers,

I often read, about Gibeon, this meteorites was used by native tribes to
make weapons, tools and jewelry, over the last 50,000 years.

However, I have not been able to find *any photos* of these prehistoric
Gibeon artifacts in Internet, or *even any research papers* mentioning
these tools.

It's very strange, but you can directly verify this fact on Google: no
images, no scientific paper.

So, my question: do these artifacts really exist? Where are they? Are there
pictures of them? Does anyone know anything about it?

I wrote several times to the museums of Windhoek, Namibia, but they never
answered: really funny!

I hope to receive some useful information from you.

Many thanks for your kind attention.

Best regards from Rome.

Paolo,

Steve Arnold (of Meteoritemen) probably has photos of a Gibeon anvil that
he purchased a few years ago. I believe it was nicknamed "The Crocodile."
All the best,
Frank
