Very good info Alex, thank you.
I am thinking that there must be a viable search area that is not a part of
the Barringer land or the BLM land.
I have scouted the area and talked to the sheriff in Flagstaff, AZ.
The sheriff basically said that anyone hunting for meteorites in any areas
around the above lands will be arrested.
One will need written proof that they have permission from the land owner
where they are hunting.
I know this sounds rather wimpy but, as a member of the IMCA, I can't hunt
the Diablo area illegally.
So, I am attempting to find a legal way to hunt.
There must be a way.
Best to all and thanks for the help.

Betreff: [meteorite-list] Looking for canyon diablo strewn field map
Hello again,
"Does anyone out there know of a journal article where the 80 degree
angle
is
discussed, with the rationale behind proposing this value for the
trajectory angle?"
D.J. Roddy and E.M. Shoemaker (1995) Meteor Crater: Summary
of impact conditions (Meteoritics 30-5, 1995, A567, excerpts):
"Since the late 1950s, studies of this crater have presented an
increasingly
clearer view of this impact and its effects and have provided an improved
view of impact cratering in general. To expand on this dataset, we are
preparing an upgraded summary on the Meteor Crater event ... including
inormation and interpretations on (1)...(2)...(3) estimated speed,
trajectory,
angle of impact, ... the trajectory of the impacting body is interpreted
by
EMS (= E.M. Shoemaker) as traveling north-northwest at a relatively
low impact angle..."
I don't know whether E.M. Shoemaker still had time enough to publish
this "upgraded summary" before his tragic accident in Australia.
Best Sunday
wishes to all,
Bernd
