That brings up a good point - meteorites fall unnoticed all the time,
and perhaps the global map of meteorite finds and falls isn't so much
a map of meteorites but rather a map of meteorite hunters/researchers!
Everyone here seems to have a dot on that map fairly close to their

By the way, there is a gem and mineral show today and tomorrow at the

The Teton fireball has always interested me. I think it proves an

Maybe another interesting angle for this discussion is to find the

On further investigation, I'd have to revise my nearest hit to the
