List, Count, Ejecta get sorted by mass -- big chunks near the crater, then medium chunks in the middle distance and so on. At about 300 miles from impact, there is still a noticeable dustfall from an impact this size. And the smallest particles get blown into the atmosphere world-wide as

Re: [meteorite-list] Gebel Kamil webpage

The effects of sand abrasion (corrasion) and chemical weathering (corrosion) of objects on a desert surface, apart from other factors, depend considerably on the texture and composition of the original surface, but also on the dimensions and the depth to which an object is buried in the soil.

Re: [meteorite-list] Gebel Kamil webpage

Hello Svend, All, I probably have as much experience as you do with desert irons; I agree, but look at the photos. The first shows an xxkg half-buried individual (the 83 kg?) that clearly protrudes more than 5cm above the ground. Furthermore, you can tell very clearly that it is well-embedded

Hello Bernd, Svend, All, 1) The background for each photo is significantly different. One is loose sand. The other, large rocks. The photos were therefor not taken in the same place. 2) The photo on the left is pretty clearly the iron before it was moved. It's well-embedded in undisturbed
