Figure 1 below shows a common housefly found in a thin section cut
from a meteorite. The photo was taken by an award-winning photographer
and meteorite expert (Mr. Tom Phillips). It could not be a terrestrial
contaminant or artifact or a mineral.
The photographer himself identified it as a housefly trapped in a
meteorite. So, it should have originated from Mars, just like all
other fossils found in meteorites.

Nowhere on Tom Phillips' webpage does it say that this housefly was
found trapped in a meteorite. It only says that the housefly picture
was taken using darkfield technique. He also says that this technique
did not prove useful in meteorite examination.

Get a life.

Nice one, of a Mars or whatever ET fly.

True, but those other thin slices of meteorites seems way better than
anything our NASA and their brown-nosed associates have ever come up
with. For one thing, unlike every monochrome thing about our
physically dark moon, at least this guy believes in color imaging as
well as in allowing UV secondary hues so that minerals and raw
elements can be most easily identified.

In other words, you and other ZNRs don't believe in the best available

Attention Wretch Fossil,

This is The Meteorite Exchange, Inc. owner of article in Meteorite-
Times Magazine you are quoting. You are posting false information
about Tom Phillips around the Internet.

The article does not state that a housefly was found in a meteorite
and the picture's caption is as follows:

[An unfortunate housefly taken in darkfield (Phase contrast)
Please Note: The house fly was a house fly slide. Part of a child's
"Insects under the microscope" set.]

I have already had your article in CNNiReports removed for violating
our copyright and using the photo without permission. I will now
report this abuse to Google.
