I would like to share that the term meteorite is also used for a meteoroid that has landed on the surface of a celestial body other than earth.

There are three main types of meteorites.
1.stone meteorites
2.iron meteorites
3.stony-iron meteorites

The meteorite is not really pristine. It’s impacted with an SUV and that would give it physical changes plus an inferiority complex.

I beg to differ.

This is clearly God’s way of telling us to drive North American SUV’s.

Save your neighbour’s job – drive GM, Ford or Chrysler.

Tell you what, we’ll do a deal … you take the odd meteorites, and I’ll take the even ones.

Adam and Tallbloke,hereis the UNSIS SST’s for today.
Yep ,looking awfully Midokiish out there.
Pay no attention to that cold pool in the N.Pacific and the really cold pool off the Peruvian coast….

Hey Tallbloke: Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho that you are wearing?

Adam from Kansas (11:56:27) :

They may be thrilled at El Nino intensifying just a little for now, but it actually is screaming ‘modoki’ instead of ‘classic’ the way it seems to be going which some here have predicted this because they expected an oceanic heat release as the Sun’s output stays at lower levels.

Yep, that was me. If you look at the current ocean temp anomaly map (top of enso connects with PDO thread), you can see the ocean surface temp is fairly uniformly elevated worldwide, rather than higher temps spreading out from a hot-spot in the Pacific. This is exactly what I predicted months ago on this site.

The sun is quiet, the oceans have gone into heat release mode everywhere because solar energy isn’t being pumped down into the ocean at above the equilibrium rate.

Anyway, back to meteors.

Help I’m a rock, help I’m a rock, help I’m a rock!
Somebody, please, please!
Help I’m a rock, help I’m a rock…
Wow man, it’s a drag being a rock
Help I’m a rock…

Who could imagine that they would freak out somewhere in kansas…

Meteorites are not dangerous, but any recovered meteorites should be placed in a clean plastic bag or container and be handled as little as possible to preserve their scientific information.

He’s pretty lucky I’d say. I guess a metorite is more valuable than a windshield and a hood, so to speak. So you could say SUV driver is rewared with a meteorite…

Lucky for the average person the chances of getting hit by a meteorite is very low, you’re much more likely to die in a car crash.

As for the warmists being thrilled here’s the latest TAO data

An asteroid came at us
but what could we do?
We’d spent all our money
to reduce CO2.

Global Warming caused the Earth’s gravitational field to fluctuate, disrupting the meteor’s orbit and causing it to nearly destroy Humanity. Anybody who disagrees is a filthy Denialist who hates children and a racist.

“Yvonne Garchinski has loaned the ‘pristine’ meteorite sample to Western but it remains her property as meteorites found in Canada belong to the owner of the land upon which they are discovered.”

How lucky is that! She should make a small fortune when she comes to sell this meteorite – with that provenance the collectors will be queuing up to buy.

Good for her! She should keep it.
