wet/dry washer 197 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 find out in the morning, sure they can date the caliche, confirm the temperature that fused it to the fall rock. thanks. they carbon date bones. googled carbon dating meteorites, they were first to come up. world wide company out of florida. bedtime, don't be dreaming about virgin fall rocks. lucky only one was violated.

If those "fall rocks" were hot enough to set fire to "pine lumber" it would have reset the atomic clock on any nuclides they would use to date it. The heat would diffuse the nuclides in the specimen and it could not be accurately dated with radiometrics. So you are pretty much outta luck with your dating game. Too bad you don't have normal meteorites that don't get hot and can be dated, huh? They use carbon dating for carbon based life forms. It is all about carbon 14. Living things stop absorbing it when they die and then it begins to decay. Since meteorites are not carbon based and do not absorb carbon in their diets they can't be carbon dated. It is just a cold, hard fact of life. They use other radio nuclides to date rocks and minerals bob. Not radioactive carbon. Tell us again why you cant get these authenticated the usual way? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yours are obviously not real. Science has clearly spoken. Our opinions here are backed up by every expert opinion you have solicited. They are reinforced by the results of every analysis you have mentioned. Your description of the events and circumstances surrounding the stones make it plain these are not meteorites. If what you say is true then they simply could not be. Why don’t you just go out and find a real one? The kind that science agrees is a meteorite? Start small and work up just like everyone else. If you spent a fraction of the time learning about meteorites as you do creating an alternate universe you would be an expert. You could find a real meteorite with the time you are investing in this folly. Why not stop the silly song and dance and go hunt one down for real? Like the rest of us! You are not going about this like a meteorite hunter. You seem to be trying to figure out a way to make slingshot ammo worth something. You are doing a bunch of irrelevant tests and developing some data on paper to present as “fact”. You aren’t hunting meteorites. You are indulging in a fantasy around these worthless rocks. One can only assume that you plan on using this irrelevant data to convince someone these rocks are meteorites. I certainly hope that no one is fooled. That would be where this little fantasy crosses the line. Wouldn’t you agree bob? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikestang 928 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Carbon dating is certainly not used in meteorite identification. CRE is useful in determining how long a meteorite has been sitting on the Earth; however, your rocks have yet to be confirmed as meteorites. It's a simple process to get a meteorite classified. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
