Hello Listers
I have a good question about the average size of a Strewn Fields. A good
example would be the Ash Creek fall in 2009. Whats the size of that Strewn
Field and the collected amount of weight so far from that fall? Why I ask is
because there could be a pattern with size of meteorites, the amount of
meteorites recovered, or the lack there of, and one might be able to predict
the size of the Strewn Field even if there is only one or two meteorite pieces
recovered. This average could be applied to the Lorton Fall a few months ago in
Virgina, which to this date only one individual pieces has been recovered at
318g. One could suggest that this piece could be the main mass and calculate
the mean average of the suggested strewn field that could result from this
weight. By doing this and also cross referencing with other falls that
have a mean average weight from the main mass and TKW recovered could
this predict the average size of the strewn field
as long as the class of the meteorites falls are in the same category?
