I was wondering if this was going to turn up on the mailing list or not... We
arrived at this property, obtained permission from the landowners to search it,
and were approached by this gent who was upset because he was there before us.
It doesn't work that way, and in any case it's up to the

I've returned to my day job from a trip to the WI strewn field. I
arrived with my boots worn in, and left with my boots worn out! Even though I
left without finding a stone, I had a magnificent time and would gladly do it
all again. I got to participate as other
Radar shows it much bigger than eight miles; I put it at 14x11 miles
at a minimum. This one made a mess!

I love that idea! I like how it emphasizes some of the best
attributes of meteorite hunting - public outreach and just plain
getting people excited about this stuff. Solves the problem of
multiple Livingstons as well.

My take on the radar data includes a generally NW to SE track. This
event shows up on three different radars! Magnificent stuff.

Heheh Funny how fast the NWS guys jumped on this! You can
probably thank the Meteorite Men episode for it, in all honesty.
Outstanding!

I'm glad y'all are enjoying the abstract. I've been looking forward to
that one, and I'm actually working on the poster to go with it as I sit
here. I'll add another one to Rob's list - Portales Valley shows up in data
from multiple radars, although they are all at extended range and
What a beautiful meteorite! My first take on it is that it must have
crystallized directly from a melt. The pyramidal forms looks like dendrites
complete with a preferred orientation. Dendrites do not form in solids like
Widmannstatten patterns do they form by solidification from a liquid.
First off, I¹m back! We had a very successful ANSMET season this year and
collected 1010 meteorites (with probably a few terrestrials in there). The
weather was spectacular and allowed us to put about 750 miles on our
snowmobiles while searching.
As for this meteor I¹ve pulled the radar data
That hole has definitely been dug up. But it also doesn¹t appear to be a
foot deep. Perhaps in a 10 year old¹s imagination it is.
I just ran the numbers, and if we assume a spherical body (which I have to
do) moving at its aerodynamically-limited speed then a 48 g iron meteorite
would be
This one appears to have produced a strewn field approximately 20-25 km in
length with a very prominent smoke trail. First one there can have it!

And it looked like this (scroll down to ³sunset fireball²):
Well ain¹t that a hoot - I sent him the same images a couple of weeks ago.
I even used the same background image! Peter Brown probably thinks we're a
single person with multiple personalities or something.
I'd say there's a potential return in the next data set at about 2.5 km
altitude, but it
Fantastic stuff! Looks like Hopper has bestowed you with some serious luck.

Yup. And how does one form such a thing...? And is it twisted, or did
something else happen here? Think Imilac...

Look at this close up, especially at the shadows. Lots of jagged slivers of

You¹d first have to convince me that, in the entire span of time that this
rock sat exposed on the surface, the winds were never (even once) strong
enough to move them along sufficiently to leave them on top of the rock.
Bear in mind that the entire surrounding terrain is covered with wind-blown

Pete, List,
Very interesting photo.
I have a question about it's morphology?
Why does it look like that? Why does it have so many holes / dents?
Magnificent! Tho it does make me glad there isn¹t a Nantucket meteorite.
