Many hundreds of meteorites were collected before the 18th century. But few from those times have survived. The oldest stone meteorite that has persisted, perhaps due to initial protection by King Maximilian, is the one that was observed to fall on November 7, 1492 at Ensisheim in Alsace.

This article is a good overview of some of the problems with neo-darwinism: panspermia.org/neodarw.htm

Darwin, as mentioned before, might himself have accepted the results that Dr. Hahn discovered and personally presented to him.

Yet, we continue to ignore the most logical interpretation of the evidence to the detriment of scientific progress.

If you have not seen the lecture on "Microfossils and Biomolecules" by Dr. R. B. Hoover, well worth it:

In it he shows SEM images with diatoms from inside CO type meteorites.

Otto Hahn's final piece of writing about meteorites (1882) was concerning two witnessed falls of gelatinous meteorites. Sticky with appearance like frogspawn. Quite curious! We need to preserve them ASAP when they land.
