I have registered mine and hope everyone else will do the same. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Hupe <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 10:23 PM To: [email protected] Cc: John Valley <[email protected]> Subject: [meteorite-list] Wisconsin Find Registration UW-Madison
Hello All, To all who found meteorites, or purchased stones from the original finders of the April 14, 2010 fall in southwestern Wisconsin, I encourage everyone to register these with the University of Wisconsin - Madison. In charge of this web site is Professor John Valley. I have already sent in the information for my two finds which included; Weight, Date of Find (I included time as well), GPS coordinates and Photos (if you can not send or take stones to John). Here is a snip of John's reply to me earlier today: "We have three lists of meteorites. One contains references that we find on the web or hear about second hand. The more important list contains all confirmed finds of falls from April 14. We will put your samples on the confirmed list. We also show pictures on our web site, but this is just the subset of samples that we have examined and photographed ourselves I understand your reluctance to ship them to us. It would be very helpful to know the weights of your samples and the approx. (or exact) locations where you found them. This will help us to eventually define the distribution of the strewn field and the total mass of stones that were found. Thanks, John Valley" Here is the link to the Registration Page: http://www.geology.wisc.edu/misc/meteorite-registry/ I would also encourage everyone who has not sent Richard Kowalski or Rob Matson this information to do so as well. The data that can be gleaned from this information will help these three parties with future meteorite recovery and other important science.
