[meteorite-list] I'm getting confused by the MB coordinates

Hi Some of you may have remember being bored by my running dialog with the MB and Jeff in reference to the actual find spot of a Colorado meteorite. In the MB, the Apex Colorado meteorite has coordinates that puts the find (1938) at about 4 miles north of the actual location. I know the actual

Hi all - This is where meteorites comes in. Either there was a large parent body, which was destroyed and led to the gas giand shift, the LPBE and asteroids, or there was an orbital stablization in gas giants which led to the LPBE, and asteroids as the parent bodies. Gravitational

Re: [meteorite-list] I'm getting confused by the MB coordinates

Walter: Please don't shoot the messenger. But as hard as the Met Bulletin editorial staff work, no one goes looking over the shoulders of most finders; the greed of human nature combined especially in the older cases with the trouble of interpolating coordinates (no GPS) from a topo map by many

Back again Ok... I did a little self searching on this topic of map datum used for lat. and long. on MB entries. There are different sets of map datum that have been use (and some still being used) to locate the zero point on a map (or the whole planet), from which the measurements are made

Dear Walter, List; Datum's are an issue! My Rock Springs meteorite was GPS'ed as on Rail road property but when referenced with BLM realestate specialist, it was a BLM land meteorite, cuprit: I needed to use 1928 datum, not the CONUS datum.Yes, datum's are an issue! Dave Freeman Rock

Re: [meteorite-list] I'm getting confused by the MB coordinates

A systematic coordinate error is a possibility, but don't look at the choice of map datum as the problem. At most, various datums will differ by a few hundred meters. A four mile error has to come from somewhere else. A map datum is a model based on some mathematical approximation of the

Re: [meteorite-list] I'm getting confused by the MB coordinates

From what I understand the MB editorial staff is very pleased to update find / fall spots (though none of the 100 I like have ever been updated). Names, though, that's another story. There is a very good reason here to leave names alone that the NomCom recognizes. If people search the
