Re: [meteorite-list] real men meteorites
Hi Bernd, Martin and Jerry - and List: Many thanks for all the info and references on the Old Woman meteorite. Anyone knows who were the 3 gold prospectors? And there was no reward for them?? Does it means that the Smithsonian Institute of Washington has full rights over any meteorite that falls, or is found on federal land all over the entire USA? The info mentions that ...The nickel-iron mass lay wedged among boulders up a dry wash between two mountain slopes. Could it be that it probably fell somwhere further up and that it run downwards until it became wedged among boulders? Was this the only mass found in the area?

The Old Woman fall is a mass of nickel-iron weighing 6,080 pounds (2,758 kilograms) and measuring 4-by-3-by-21/2 feet (1.2-by-0.9-by-0.8 meters), according to newspaper accounts. It fell, presumably several centuries ago, in an inaccessible desert area 170 miles east of Los Angeles. There it was spotted in March, 1976, by three gold prospectors. They sent chips to the Griffith Observatory and the University of California at Los Angeles, where the meteoritic nature of the object was confirmed. Word of the discovery reached Roy S. Clarke, curator of meteorites at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management determined that the find had been made on federal land, and gave possession of the meteorite to the Smithsonian. The nickel-iron mass lay wedged among boulders up a dry wash between two mountain slopes. On June 17th, the meteorite was airlifted from this spot by U.S. Marine Corps helicopter, which carried it seven miles to the nearest road. Until the end of June, the Old Woman meteorite was on public display at Riverside, California, and then it was sent to the Smithsonian Institution for scientific study.
