METEOR IN THE RAW

VANDOO · 10th December 2005, 04:04 PM

THE METEORITE FELL IN KANSAS NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE AND WAS FOUND BY A PROFESSIONAL METEORITE HUNTER USING A 4 WHEELER AND A METAL DETECTOR. THERE WAS A VERY STRONG MAGNET ON THE METEORITE AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE IT AND ESPECIALLY HARD TO PUT IT BACK WITHOUT PINCHING YOUR FINGERS. I THINK THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A LINK TO THE NEWS STORY IN ONE OF THE PREVIOUS FORUM POSTS, IT WAS FOUND VERY RECENTLY. THE TOP PORTION OF THE PICTURE WITH THE SLAB SHOWS THE AREA WHERE IT WAS FOUND, QUITE A FEW SMALLER ONES HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THE AREA OVER THE YEARS. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SITES WHERE METEORITES HAVE FALLEN IN THE USA BUT FEW OF US ARE AWARE OF THEM.
