Hello, my question is about "strewnfields" in
general, not how they relate to a dry lake bed. I started as a meteorite hunter
and have evolved into a hunter/collector.
I think I understand the end of a
strewnfield, the elliptical shape is created by most of the lighter material
falling away to earth and the larger pieces continuing on a path down the middle
of the strewnfield. They create a point that more or less follows the middle of
the strewnfield. My first question is what is the reason for the point at the
beginning of a strewnfield?
The second part of my question is are there
other types of "strewnfields"? More to the point, explosions that occurred
closer to the surface and that might be described as a shotgun pattern? I would
be interested in any other types as the only types I have heard about are the
classic elliptical and a few related pieces.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and
opinions.
