Hi Folks! Wow, I am learning new things with these answers.
Serpent Mound, Bonita Springs, and Havana were found in Indian mounds. Worden, Park Forest, and Barwell also struck automobiles. I knew about Bonita Springs, but figured it wasn't as well-known as Brenham. The rest of the answers were pleasant surprises. :) Best regards, MikeG --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Galactic Stone & Ironworks - Meteorites & Amber (Michael Gilmer) Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Galactic-Stone-Ironworks/218849894809686 News Feed - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone EOM - http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=1564 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 5/24/11, Graham Ensor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > Park Forest and Barwell both hit cars....there must be more? > > Graham > > On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 11:22 PM, Michael Gilmer > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi List, >> >> I want to thank everyone who responded to the questions. :) >> >> Only one person answered both questions correctly. >> >> Here are the correct answers : >> >>> Question #1 - Out of all the areas of the world known for finding >>> meteorites, which area has yielded the most classified meteorites? >> >> Answer - The Yamato icefield of Antarctica.
