[meteorite-list] Astrobiologists Find Ancient Fossils in FireballFragments

Were you in Kerala?

Fred, NEVER drink from the Red Rain again!

(huh it's so spooky, I think inside my extraterrestrial life form (aka "The
Cat") are living terrestrial organisms...)

Purple Rain, purple raiiiiin...

I have a true blue "FOSSIL METEORITE WITH ANCIENT FOSSIL LIFE FORMS"!
Quick, call the newspapers with this wonderful headline! The meteorite is
4,786 grams and the Niton XRF on a freshly ground surface shows 11.02% Ni,
85.87% Fe, 0.89% Mn and 0.68% Cr, so it is indeed a meteorite. The fossil
life forms MUST be there, as this highly weathered, very FRACTURED stony has
much of the surface covered in a 1mm to 3mm mineral coating. It may have
been on this planet for 20,000 years or more. YES, FOSSIL LIFE FORMS EXIST
IN THIS ANCIENT METEORITE! reads the headline...too bad the fossil life
forms are from earth. But what the heck, it gets one's attention, right?
   So, all improbable, hyperbole meteorite/meteoroid stories are hereby
suspended!
