I was getting ready to go meteorite hunting today and I just had to put my boots on. I had two rare earth magnets and put one in each back pocket so they wouldn't stick together. I have this nice felt lined red box with a handle and a metal clasp that I carry some of my meteorites in. I like to show them off and teach landowners what to look for. Its a pretty big box that nicely fits two 1kg chondrites, a big Canon Diablo and an assortment of other smaller stones. I grabbed the red box and headed for the garage. As I turned around the doorway one of the magnets in my pocket stuck to the clasp on the box. As I moved, the box opened and a 1kg Canon Diablo fell on my toe. It hurt like $%!+, but I still went out hunting anyway.
Would this be considered an impact event? http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/meteoritoe.jpg ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
