I have heard statements that this is the most important fall in American history. It is interesting that in all this talk that the Murray Kentucky, U.S.A., CM2 fall of 1950 has been overlooked.? Over 12.6 Kilograms was recovered from the Murray event and over 100 Kilograms from the Murchison, Australia fall, not to mention 15 other non-Antarctic CM2s, making this type far from rare.?

If I were the woman that found the 17 gram piece , I would have taken the $20,000 offer and not hold out for $50,000!


Happy Hunting,

Adam

Hi Dr. Korotev and List,

As of right now, the approximate TKW stands at 226.72 grams from a
total of 28 finds.

I am receiving reports via email by the hour from people on the ground
in the strewnfield.

I would like to thank Mr. Mark Dayton and Dr. Peter Jenniskens for
their help in compiling this data.? I would also like to thank the
dozens of people who have contacted with information regarding finds -
you are too many to name and some wish to remain anonymous.? My thanks
to all of you.? :)

Also, I am still looking for an answer regarding Robert Ward's finds.
My posts are delayed to the List, so I will try contacting Robert
directly.

Best regards,
