Look, I already discussed this with Dr David Kring, who has been working on
Chixculub for the last 10 years, he laughed so hard he almost choked. It is
not that it is impossible for something to exist, it would however be
kilometers deep, not laying on Cancun's beaches. Just from reading the
story, you can tell who the freaks are from the serious people trying to
figure something out. If he had just asked for help instead of putting up
the glorious eBay site extolling his rare goodies, I would be more
supportive. Dave, do you support the Frass meteorite too? Just from looking
at the guy's site, there is no further need for studying that stone.

   HI,
Mike F., can you explain why you are SO dogmatic that this Chixculub
material cannot not possibly be what it is because "It is impossible that
metalic material would survive millions of years, end of story"?
Isn't that rather a strong statement? I seem to recall that there are a
number of sites where traces of impactors of about 110mya old have been
found.

Why not let the academics provide the answer instead of shooting from the
hip all of the time?
BTW I did not purchase any of this material, but I admired the fact that
Shomin at least is attempting to get a proper result rather than like Mo
Yousef continually insisting that it is meteoritic.
You should be supporting him, not dissing him

respectfully yours, of course
