Chris,
Thanks for the detailed reply.
What about a listing of strenfield dimensions sorted by type of stone?
Thanks.
Stan

>It would be difficult to compile such a list. Where a meteorite results
>from an object that experiences a single fragmentation event (which
>presumably describes most cases), the strewn field is not strongly related
>to the entry details, but is instead defined by the wind conditions at the
>time. After the fragmentation, the debris is initially stretched out along
>the axis of flight, with heavier components carrying further forward. But
>this forward momentum is quickly lost, and the pattern can change
>considerably during several minutes of cold flight. Tail winds compress the
>size of the field, head winds stretch it out, and any wind component at an
>angle to the entry path broadens and tilts the field.
