Hello Felipe and List, Your online coordinates online for Vaca Muerta (25° 45' S / 70° 30' W) look good because there is an article in Meteoritics [PEDERSEN H. et al. (1992) Vaca Muerta mesosiderite strewnfield (Meteoritics 27-2, 1992, 126-135)] and on page 128 the authors write:
"In Table 1 and Fig. 2, we give the (x,y) coordinates of each mass relative to the most distant large mass, VM 5 (= 557 kg), which is at 25° 50' S, 70° 23' W. Using the method of least squares (minimizing orthogonal distance) and giving equal weight to each of the 80 masses, we have determined the azimuth of the strewnfield to be 109° East of north. The fall zone is 700-800 m above sea level." Best of luck for your Vaca Muerta hunt, Bernd ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
