Now that is a question I need to get answered. I never thought about it before.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Proper field data



Hey all,
What info do you recommend collecting when a find is made in the field?

GPS coordinates (and datum used), in situ photos with a scale and weight are a given. But what else?

I've also heard that one should not to apply a magnet to a new meteorite because a manget can affect the magnetic susceptibility (doesn't a metal detector affect it too?).

What about an historic location versus a new fall?

Everyone mentions collecting data, but are we all on the same page?

Clear skies,
Mark
