Hello again, Yesterday I posted: ----------------------------- Alain Carion just got back from Egypt where he helped with a great discovery. He finally sent me a few pictures, and I thought you might be interested since it has to do with meteorites. :-)
Just go to: www.IMPACTIKA.com/ACarion.html ---------------------------- Now to answer some of the questions I received: This might very well turn out to be the largest field of impact craters ever found on Earth, with at least 50 craters, most of them visible only by Radar Remote sensing, because they have been completely eroded, and filled with sand. The exact age of these craters has not been determined yet, but they are expected to be tens of millions years old, and that would explain the complete lack of meteorites and impact glass. A complete scientific report will be published in a few months. You might want to read this preliminary report for more information: _www.IMPACTIKA.com/PaillouCRAS04.pdf_ (http://www.IMPACTIKA.com/PaillouCRAS04.pdf) And no, Alain did not bring back any shattercones! But I am sure he would have loved too. :-) Any other questions? Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] President, I.M.C.A.
