Maybe they're to busy on the Gobi and there abouts, digging up Dinosaur fossils! Maybe you and I should get some financing to get the natives to recognize and search for meteorites!!
10-15 years from now they too will be search out!
Don't forget the Kalahari. It's perkin right now!!

Subject: [meteorite-list] intriguing Question


Hello,
I'm the newbie, so please explain this to me. This is an intriguing question. I can't figure it out. I know the Sahara desert is about a galgillion square miles. Then there are the deserts in Calif., South America, the Antarctic continent
and God only knows where else. Why don't I see any meteorites from the
Gobi desert, or maybe the Mongolia desert.
And then there is little dinky Roosevelt Co, NM at just 2,455 sq miles and it has a staggering
109 meteorites, which comes to one for every 22.5 sq miles. What gives?
They are of a wide variety of classifications, so it can't be turning every piece in for classification. I can't speak for anyone else, but I find this very puzzling.
Any thoughts, List?
Pete
