[meteorite-list] newbie questions

[Lloyd Alexander via Meteorite-list]

Hello,


I am new to the list and new to meteorite collecting. I have been rockhounding 
for about a year with some great times and successful finds.


Can you recommend some reading material to help me learn more?


I would love to know if there have been meteorites found in ME and NH.


Besides eBay are there any recommended sites for purchasing credible/authentic 
pieces?


Thanks for your time.

Re: [meteorite-list] Michigan Meteorite

[Sam Sabba via Meteorite-list]

Wow, thank you everyone so much for your replies.  It is incredible how many of 
you did so.  I learned a little something different from all of the replies and 
will be sharing the more accessible information with my daughter.  This is a 
great online community! Greg

Greg,

A lot will depend on the weight of the impacting object of course; for example 
the main mass of the 1813 Limerick Meteorite weighed 65 pounds and buried 
itself two feet into the ground. The meteorite will generally be travelling at 
a speed of between 200 and 400 mph when it hits the surface.

Regards,
Finbarr.

Hello all! 
I sent a post in a few days ago but I think I caused confusion by sending it 
via my other email address that was not the one I registered with.  Let's see 
if this works better.
My 7 year old daughter begged me to take her meteorite hunting after I picked 
her up form school this past Wednesday.  My first reaction was to say no given 
the long odds, the cold, and the fact that she would miss a practice.  She 
persisted, and then I realized I was being a fool and only thinking of the 
effort and poor odds involved, and not of the journey and wonderful scientific 
lesson itself!  So we drove the 1 hour (easy compared to the travel time for 
the rest of you I see) and hunted a collection of Hamburg athletic fields.  We 
did not find anything, but had a good time in the process.  I see now that of 
course several pieces have been found (congrats to those that have found some). 
 I am completely new to this, and I wanted to ask a few questions to satisfy my 
curiosity as well as my daughter's.  Now that the professionals are in town, we 
will not be bothering to try again. :)During our search, we had expected that 
any pieces would have gone down into the ground at least a little bit.  I 
however see that several of the pieces that have been found were just laying in 
the snow on top of a frozen lake.  Is it normal for pieces of a meteorite to 
not land with enough force to break through ice or even frozen soil?  Would 
they normally at least break through unfrozen soil, such as on a lawn or 
athletic field?Also, given the approximately 2 inches of snow we had on the 
ground here, would heat be produced from the meteorite itself or from it's 
impact that would have melted snow around it in any meaningful way?My daughter 
is probably doing her show-and-tell presentation at school as I type this 
(using a regular rock we found to represent the potential meteorite) so it is 
too late to provide her details for that, but we are both still curious.Thank 
you and good luck to those who will still be looking!
