Howdy,
This is sort of touching on my post the other day; but if the atmosphere is
so thin and the meteor retains a lot of velocity, then I would presume the
angle of descent would not alter as significantly as it does on Earth
either! Everyone is assuming a somewhat vertical impact, but if this

Evidence also points to the Chicxulub impact being part of a multiple impact

The first meteorite found on Mars - Heat shield rock - really
raises questions. Based on its size I estimate it is approx. 6-7
liters in volume or around 50 kg mass.
The smallest craters on Mars are just a few m in size, e.g. Fram 8 m,
but there are smaller ones.
Has anyone a clue what the

Folks,
Stumbled upon this article that will undoubtedly be of interest
to a number of you. Fascinating theory. Many of the desert and
dry lakes hunters can put it to the test. Have any of you noticed
this phenomenon? I see no reason why, over time, the process
wouldn't apply to a meteorite just as

Good points. Also to consider is that Heat Shield Rock, a piece of

equivalent mg' of 18.8 kg - but still with the

Hello List,
I recently just won the Nininger book called A Comet Strikes the
Earth for $15.00. I was just going to check with you all to see if
that was a good deal. It was written in 1951 and it is a Soft Cover
book that is in good condition. Does anybody else have this book?.
Thanks,

Must have a functional knowledge of how to use a

basically entails taking hundreds of photos and
editing them so that they are ready to use on ebay.

I've heard of it and remember seeing the cover, didn't it come with a

Hi Mark,
That sounds about right to me. I came across
about a dozen or so or these about 5 or 6 year ago and sold
them for about $15.00 each. I think the earliest copyright
date I have seen is 1942.
One is also part of my recently obtained Meteorite
Crater Study Kit.
