Hi all - The name comes from a spectacular cometary impact with the Moon which was observed in the Americas. I have an image of a petroglyph showing this - write me off list for a copy, but I will be gone for the next week and a half.
"A 30-pound chunk of the Willamette Meteorite, which was found in Oregon in 1902 and has been steeped in ownership controversies for more than a century, was offered by Bonhams auction house at an estimated value of $1.3 million but was withdrawn from sale after bidding ended at $300,000." It's time for the nomcom to clear this up. E.P. Grondine Man and Impact in the Americas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
