Interesting research...I had the privilege of sitting in on the seminar
Queenie gave to peers about all this last year before it went to
publicationand Monahans was the other meteorite. Some interesting
discussions during the seminar testing out the robustness of the research

Hi Greg,
Great thing to do with your daughter...sorry you did not find
anything...I'd say it's still worth going back and having another go...wish
I was as close.
To answer a few questions... The larger pieces would probably bury
themselves more but nearly all meteorites loose all there energy
Hi Bernd and all,
Your right Bernd, the Camel Sweat story does go with the EL Hammami
Meteorite. No doubt other many specimens have been packed out by camels

Good to see you on the list Bernd!

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
Hi Paul and all,
The blue halide crystals were found early on in Zag. I believe they were
found in other meteorites (Monahans, Tx?) but information has a way of
finding it's way back into the public eye. Don't have information handy
right now but thought I would comment.
Yes, they were packed
I think Bernd's correct - that would be El Hammami.

Greg, since fresh meteorites are black they will absorb heat from the
sun and warm enough to melt their way into snow or ice. You can
search for example of this with Tagish Lake and Buzzard Coulee, for
example.
Sounds like a fun hunt!
