Hi Eric, Dr. Grossman and all, Starbits Wrote:
>>Another comparison would be total mass. We know that NWA 869 has been estimated >>at 1500-2000kg alone. What is the mass of all the Antarctic meteorites?<< This is and would be an important consideration. I have noticed that a lot of the Antarctic falls are sometimes very small. Total mass would shed an interesting correlation to non-Antarctic finds. The significance of individual unique falls though can be over looked from a science advantage point. Also the Antarctic falls are from hundreds and thousands of years ago. Perhaps as much as 800,000 years ago, so there is a concentration of the falls on the ice sheets which may be distorting the numbers more. I am sure there are some things I haven't thought of or might be mistaken about. Respectfully and my best! --AL Mitterling ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
