Farmer to hand over 13 kg meteorite to researchers Updated: Sun May. 03 2009 13:46:26 Sonia Sunger, ctvedmonton.ca Scientists and volunteers who've been searching for pieces of the 10-ton Buzzard Coulee meteorite since last fall will soon get their hands on a 13 kilogram fragment found by a farmer. Hundreds of fragments have been gathered by planetary scientist Dr. Alan Hildebrand, graduate student Ellen Milley and volunteers since the meteorite fell in a rural area near Lloydminster Nov. 20, 2008. Fragments gathered from this find have now broken the record for meteorites recovered from a single incident and the largest piece found to date will be donated to researchers on Monday. Local landowner Alex Mitchell found a 13 kg meteorite and will be handing over his find to Hildebrand and Milley on Monday. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
