To Rob, Bob, Adam, and others: Recent finds from the Nevada dry lakes were grouped in a small area within a dry lake. The finding of three apparent pieces from same fall created a description by Adam that these finds might constitute a new strewnfield.
Questions/observations in regards to desert strewnfields. 1. Obvious groupings of fallen masses would make the likelihood of the area being a meteorite stewnfield. Do multiple finds in desert locale usually get described as a stewnfield? 2. Does the fact that many rocks get moved around in these environments take the strewnfield idea down a notch with rocks being scattered?...or does their proximity within the bounds of normal surface movements qualify them to be still within the original strewnfield? 3. Is the idea of stating a location has a new strewnfield more about this location being a new place to find more than one meteorite of the same apparent fall?...and not so much about the actual fall characteristics? I guess I'm just curious about the use of word strewnfield in this case?
