Hi list, Ryan wrote, " It would have to be a very large strewn field considering the fact that Spade is approx. 35 miles to the northwest of Estacado."   Then Howard wrote; "It is not too outragous to think once in a while that a piece of a incoming meteorite will skip like a stone and fall a little further out of place than your standerd buckshot distribution model would allow."   From what I understand,  A meteorite is named after the closest post office. If Spade is a town, and the meteorite was found 15 miles out of town and The Estacado meteorite was found 15 miles out of town, that could make a strewn field of 5 miles, not at all uncommon.

I think it is time to hunt between the two!!!
