[meteorite-list] Planet Formation (Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust)

[Phil Whitmer]

A small point where science and creation myths are in agreement:
"For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

Speaking of recycables, I was watching How The Earth Was Formed, the episode 
about gold, and they mentioned how gold has been recycled and traded around 
the globe for centuries.  They said your wedding band may contain molecules 
of ancient Egyptian or Peruvian gold that has been melted down and traded.

Heck, look at your fingers
(and the rest of yourself too).
THAT'S nothing but reworked
stellar dust and ash and a
pinch of supernova powder...
