THAT'S WHY I'M QUITE SURE THE CRATER IS CLOSE TO 40,000 YEARS OLD.  I'M OFFICIALLY CALLING THE CRATER:  "CHAO'S CRATER."  IN MEMORY OF DR. EDWARD CHAO.   HE WAS VERY WELL RESPECTED WITHIN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCIENCE NEED MORE RECOGNITION.   IT WOULD BE FITTING TO NAME MY DISCOVERY AFTER HIM BECAUSE OF HIS PASSION FOR DISCOVERY AND STUDY.  HE HAS BEEN INFLUENTIAL TO MANY OVER HIS LONG CAREER AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO FOLLOW IN HIS PATH.   DR. CHAO'S THEORIES, METHODOLGIES AND HONESTY HAVE PAVED AND SET THE STANDARD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS OF LUNAR SCIENTISTS TO COME.  THE LUNAITES FROM "CHAO'S CRATER" ARE OVER 10 LBS.   THE IMPACT PROCESS BLANKETED MUCH OF THE DESERT WITH EJECTA(5 KILOMETERS) FROM THE IMPACT SITE AND A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 30 MILES FROM THE MORROCCAN BORDER.  MUCH OF THE METEORITE VAPORIZED ON IMPACT BUT A FEW PIECES REMAINED IN THE CRATER ALONG WITH SOME MELT GLASS AND BRECCIATED DEBRIS.   SHIFTING DESERT SANDS HAVE OBSCURRED MUCH OF THE CRATER BUT FINDS ARE STILL POSSIBLE.  CAMELS ARE THE ONLY WAY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS THIS SITE.  I WILL POST A PICTURE OF THE "SHATTERCONE" THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THIS IMPACT SITE TO FURTHER SUBSTANTIATE MY CLAIM AS TO LUNAR ORIGIN'S OF MY MATERIAL.   ALL METEORITES THAT CONTAIN ANY LEVEL OF THORIUM ARE CONSIDERED TO BE LUNAR IN ORIGIN.   ONE SPECIMEN HAS Th LEVELS > 11 PPM.  PLEASE NOTE:  I'VE FUNDED ALL OF MY RESEARCH PRIVATELY WITHOUT ANY GOVERNMENT GRANTS OR LOANS AT ALL(PRETTY INCREDIBLE!!!) THIS IS WHY I'M SELLING THESE ITEMS PRIVATELY.  I'VE TRAVELLED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IN SEARCH OF INTERESTING SITES AND SPECIMENS BUT MORE FUNDING IS REQUIRED TO CONTINUE MY RESEARCH.  PRIVATE RESEARCH AND FUNDING ENABLES ME TO WORK AND DISCOVER AT A FASTER PACE BECAUSE I'M WORKING OUTSIDE OF  BEUROCRACIES AND RED TAPE THAT HOLDS BACK PROGRESS AND OF COURSE DISCOVERIES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL ME OVER A REQUEST WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.  ALSO; IF YOUR THE WINNING BIDDER.   I WILL FLY YOU OUT TO HAWAII FIRST CLASS ON AN AIRLINE OF YOUR CHOOSING TO PICK UP YOUR SPECIMENS.  I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSURANCE OR CUSTOMS.  VERY IMPORTANT:   YOUR CHECK/FUNDS MUST CLEAR MY ACCOUNT BEFORE ANY FURTHER BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED.  I GUARANTEE ALL SPECIMENS IF YOUR NOT SATISFIED.                                         GOOD LUCK BIDDING!!!                                                                                                                                                           COPYRIGHT EXTREME MAGAZINE 2008  Place a Bid!
