Re-2: [meteorite-list] Barringer Ban Area
Hello Gary and List, Interesting - they let them keep their finds. Gary, if I were you, I wouldn't count on that. Thomas was just lucky they did not search his/their pockets! But if you should go there and try your luck (be careful, please and do not let your passion for meteorites carry you away!), it will be of interest that the area where the highest concentration of Canon Diablo meteorites occurred is the area in the northeast quadrant that extends directly from the crater rim to about 3/4 of a mile from the crater (mostly smaller pieces). Larger chunks were found in the southeast quadrant about 1 1/2 to 2 miles away from the crater rim and another one three to four miles away from the crater rim in a small area about 45° south of east (or 45° east of south).

Thank you for the info Bernd. I want to do it right and legally, so have contacted local authorities. There must be a way...

Re-2: [meteorite-list] Barringer Ban Area
I totally agree with Bernd that Thomas was very lucky indeed to have been able to keep them and first of all very lucky to have found some. As I understood from previous posts, I thought it was very hard to find some at all. Maybe Thomas can add to this when he sees the posts. Maybe its shale (?) that he found, that was another idea I heard. Bernd have you seen them? I believe the best to do is what Gary has in mind, ask the ranger or whoever is responsible for the Barringer Crater. Its pouring and thundering in Sacramento, Wish they were meteorites and sonic booms! ;-) Moni From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re-2: [meteorite-list] Barringer Ban Area Date: 18 Dec 2005 21:15:18 UT Hello Gary and List, Interesting - they let them keep their finds.

Thanks for the link Ken. It'll take some time to read thru all the links there - not complaining. I love to read this stuff.
