Re: [math-fun] Moon as tape recorder for events on Earth

="Henry Baker" <hbaker1@pipeline.com> The k-T stuff from Earth has been compromised by later DNA, RNA, microbial stuff. And it wouldn't have been stored in a deep freezer.

The stuff that got to the Moon would have been flash-frozen, and if the pieces were in big enough chunks, there could be really well-preserved organic material deep inside the chunks.

Oh I think I see -- you're interested in well-preserved old organic samples, the fact that they were sampled at the k-T time is just a accident. (Heh, does your interest have anything to do with the recent real estate speculation on Isla Nublar?)
