Hi list, I spent a little time scouring the web for West totals and came up with the following numbers. Numbers in parentheses are individual stone weights when known.
Rob Wesel: 9 stones, total: 255 g Ruben Garcia: 15 stones’ total: unknown (12.6g) Patrick Thompson: 15 stones total: unknown Mike Bandli: 6 stones, total: 53.715g Micheal Cottingham: 18 stones, total: 286g Micheal Farmer: 23 stones, total: 531.6 Greg Hupe: at least 1 stone, total: unknown (50g) Eric Wichman: 1 stone, total: 6.7 grams Jim Baxter 5.9g: from mike farmer Robert Woolard: and son 7 stones, total: 407 grams James Phillips: 4 stones, total: 36.3 Geoff Notkin: at least 13 stones, total: unknown (18.8g) Mike Miller: at least 1 stone, total: unknown (212g) Del Waterbury: 5 stones totaling: 75.3g (8g, 5,6g, 5.2g, 5.5g, 51g,) Mike Morgan: 1 stone total: 13g Totals: 79 stones with known weights = 1963.915g + at least 42 other known stones lacking weights + unknown numbers from these hunters: Jason Phillips Jim Schade Sonny Clary John Sinclair Steve Arnold Shauna Russel Robert Ward So far we can be sure that nearly 2 kilos of West have been founf, and presume that: The 79 stones with known weights = 1963.915g, which averages out to 24.85g per stone. At that rate the 42 stones with unknown weights would add another 1042.7g So my minimum estimate of the West total is 3 kilos, and I’m willing to bet that 3.5-4 kilos have been found (based on all the hunters with unreported stone and weight totals) which is somewhat higher then what most people have been estimating. Hope this helps – Teddy A ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
