Jan Smit is looking at rocks Zackiscool1 (talk) 00:49, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

It's actually very fitting, as Jan Smit is a paleontologist. Paleontologists often look at rocks because in order to do paleontologist things, they need to look at the rocks. You clearly don't know anything about rocks or paleontology. This article did fail to mention, however, that Jan Smit has gained immortality and will someday look at rocks with your remains in them.

Use of the term "meteor"
Is that correct? I've seen some sources refer to the object as an "asteroid" before, and I also believe that "meteorite" would be accurate considering that it didn't burn up on contact. What is the correct term, in this context? Geepaws (talk) 04:08, 21 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I've changed it to asteroid for consistency with the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event and Chicxulub crater pages. Unfortunately I can't access the 1981 dissertation to see what terminology was originally used, but both asteroid and meteorite are more accurate than meteor. 30103db (talk) 16:03, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
