Hello List, I recently spent four days in the Franconia strewn field. I didn't find very many but I had a great time camping and enjoying the desert experience. I sacrificed the first day to hunting the extreme south end of the field in search of something big. I knew there was a slim chance of finding the mother load but hey, I had to try! I spent the second, third and fourth day hunting in the area where the possible L chondrites have been found. I recovered numerous H's and little irons last April and I wanted to add the L's to my collection. I found three of them, one each day, talk about tough hunting! I'm sure there is still a lot of material out there but it doesn't come easy. The stones I found were rather small, 42.88 grams, 22 grams and 20.46g's. My question is about this other material, the possible L chondrites. Does anyone know if these are indeed L's? If so, how much of this stuff has been found out there? Also, has any work been done to verify this is a different fall? I do believe the irons are from the same fall as the H chondrites but I'm not sure about this other stuff, they look a little fresher. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks, Larry Atkins IMCA # 1941 "Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness ." ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
