Nicole’s Reviews > The Meteorites: Encounters with Outer Space and Deep Time > Status Update

You dont want to destroy an asteroid or you end with lots of small asteroids heading towards earth. You need to change its orbit somehow.

Most meteorites can’t be traced back to a parent asteroid

All asteroids/meterorites are Xenoliths, foreign rock

Shomaker’s ashs were sent to the moon 😭 after all his and his wife’s work on NEO’s.

If asteroids brought life to earth, the question then becomes were different bits of life brought on different asteroids ?

An impact site often has shock quartz.

Limestone- means land used to be under water
Coal- former swamp/marshland and forests
Sandstone- ancient dunes or deserts

Being on earth can be detrimental to some meteorites

Aubrites might have once been part of mercury.

The museum fire in Brazil destroyed their meterorite collections 😭
