Good evening Folks,
In reading Mark's web page about the Tessera specimen, and what has been reported in the Met Bull, something occurred to me. Matteo reported to the Met Bull that 9 fusion crusted specimens of Tessera were found within a few meters of one another. Now granted, I am not a meteorite hunter, but looking back on the reports of other finds, never have I heard of 9 separate fusion crusted individuals being found in the same immediate area, much less within a few meters of each other. Now, if the meteorite shatters on impact, sure, I'd expect that you'd find pieces of that mass in the same area. However, there would be clear signs of the meteorite fracturing into several or more pieces. Perhaps even a meteorite puzzle to piece back together. I thought back to the Park Forest fall. With the hundreds of specimens found from that fall, how many individuals were found within a few meters of one another? I don't know that answer. (Park Forest hunters......what do you have to say?)
Well, experts, is the distribution of Tessera a bit strange or am I uninformed when it comes to a meteorite strewn field?
Best Regards,
Paul
