You mean all those H3-5's are paired?!? Lord. I think people forget that there are LL's, L's and H's found from the Gold Basin fall. To say that a mass from a parent body large enough to have a strewn field of this size and TKW should be one homogeneous petro.-type is silly. This business of trying to classify every stone as a different fall for what ever selfish or perverse reason along with having a personal attachment to the outcome of the over all conclusion is ridiculous and completely against the scientific method.
How many of those YDCA or what ever H3-5's have been found outside the mapped strewn field? And how far? -Erik Fisler Sent from my iPhone On Apr 26, 2013, at 11:02 PM, Robert Verish <bolidecha...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi All, > Just read another article in the 2013 March edition of M&PS, > "Stones from Mohave County, Arizona: > Multiple falls in the 'Franconia strewn field' " > by Melinda Hutson, et al. > > There is much to digest from this 5-author paper that is 25 pages long. > What with 14 stones being studied and 7 pairings to be described, there is a > lot to chew on. > > Here's something to chew on.
