[meteorite-list] "How Do You Know It's A Meteorite"?

[Martin Altmann]

Hey Armando,

I see no reason, why selling hamburgers should exclude a profound scientific
knowledge about meteorites?
I once read about a trucker, who was said to know a lot about meteorites.
I think his name was Nininger or so...

Best!
Martin

Some sellers are famous for having in-built mass-spetrometers in their eyes.
They know everything about petrography, mineralogy, crystalo-optics, you 
name it.
Many have great scientific background, as selling hamburgers, or speaking 
alien languages, as spanish.
Some can even say beer in german!
Armed with that, it is easy for them do say from wich part of the universe 
came any stone you point them!
:-)
Armando
