Re: MY first Holbrook find!!!!
Hi Kris,
Do let me know what you find on this. I live near the Great Sand Dunes in CO
and have often wondered what it would be like to seach there. I really think
that those sand dunes are getting larger and are not moving. The wind keeps
depositing more sand in the same location. I think that any ancient meteorites
would be buried. It seems like gravity would also have a big effect as buried
meteorites are uncovered by winds, they would fall down the dunes and be buried
again.
Does anyone know about looking for fulgurites? I assume the same principles
would apply.
Cheers,
Jeffrey

Regarding techniques for hunting meteorites, is there a smart way to search
sand dune areas ? I was wondering how they do it in the Sahara, Tunisia,
Libya area. Search the "Blow-outs ? It seems that if you searched upwind of
the dunes, the area would be recently uncovered and any heavy "objects" will
be left behind. Where are the Sahara meteorites found usually ? The largest
sand dune in the U.S is 2 Hours away. Anyone ?
