Here in Germany institutes test even the isotopes of asparagus,
to find out if fraudulent dealers are selling Greek asparagus labelled as
German Schrobenhausener asparagus.
Greek saparagus tastes even as well as German but is ten times cheaper.

asparagus vs. chondrites - hence, why it should be not possible to check
meteorites....

Just an idea,
Martin,
burying some cheap Dho007 in his garden, for later times......

Howdy,
    Why not use a spores, pollen, microorganism, or other forensic trace
analysis technique? Just a quick thought, not sure how practical or
expensive this would be.
    Best regards,
