  Mica can store (for >1 Gy) etchable tracks caused by atoms recoiling from
WIMPs. Because a background from fission neutrons will eventually limit this
technique, a unique signature for WIMPs in ancient mica is needed. Our motion
around the center of the Galaxy causes WIMPs, unlike neutrons, to enter the
mica from a preferred direction on the sky. Mica is a directional detector and
despite the complex rotations that natural mica crystals make with respect to
this WIMP ``wind,'' there is a substantial dependence of etch pit density on
present day mica orientation.
