Falling from the Sky: A Meteorite Resource CD-ROM

 "What are meteorites and where can I find one?"

Dear Meteorite Enthusiast:

If you'd like to Find a meteorite, Identify a meteorite and Find out how much your meteorite is worth, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.

Here's why:

With over 300 pages of information, this CD provides an introduction to the fascinating world of meteorites for the novice, but is also a detailed resource for the expert collector.
 

Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim:

Three Reasons To Believe What I Say

• Reason one: Researched and compiled by a geologist with mineralogy and petrology experience

• Reason two: Written by an author with three technical books in print

• Reason three:  This CD is one of a series of published eBooks by the author on subjects like water, terrorism and history. In addition, the CD includes an extensive amount of information and web links  compiled by professionals in astronomy and other sciences.

Here is a summary of the benefits you receive

• Explains the types of meteorites - You can easily identify a meteorite in the field

• Mineralogy and petrology of meteorites - You will understand the origin and history of your meteorite

• Location of impact craters around the world - You can identify the best places to find a meteorite

• Extensive internet links to meteorite sites - Easily research and find information about your meteorite

• Includes a teaching guide on meteorites prepared by NASA - Have the information to prepare a classroom curriculum or study guide

• Photographs of known Earth impact craters - See and understand the way meteorites have changed our world

Now, you're probably wondering how and why we can do all those things.

Let me explain.

What is a meteorite?

At any given moment in time, there are literary thousands of rocky chunks that fall from the sky. These pieces of rock that enter the earth’s atmosphere and blaze across the night sky are called meteors. Those that come to rest on the earth’s surface are meteorites.

Where are the meteorites?

On any given day it is estimated that 19,000 pieces of debris enter the earth's atmosphere. Of these only 10 per year are recovered. Most burn up, never to reach the surface of the earth. Of those that reach the surface, some land in the oceans, some land in very difficult terrain such as jungles, mountains, polar areas on ice caps etc. But a very few are found by those interested in finding and owning a piece of something "out of this world."

There are only about 150 identified large impact craters on the earth’s surface today. These are located on the continents of North America, Europe, and Australia. They range from a kilometer up to almost 200 kilometers.

About 800 baseball-sized or larger meteorites have fallen in Arizona alone in the past 300 years, but only about 40 have been recovered, according to David Kring, professor of planetary studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Can I find one?

In 25 years of hunting meteorites, Bob Haag (an avowed meteorite hunter) has followed ``million-dollar falls,'' multiple meteorite drops that happen about every 1,000 days, to Egypt, Russia, Japan and more than 50 other countries. He has built an extensive collection, which he said has been appraised at $25 million.

Another meteorite hunter has an interesting story. Jim Kriegh, a retired University of Arizona civil engineering professor, wasn't even looking for meteorites when he made his big find.

While hunting for gold in remote northwestern Arizona in 1995, Kriegh stumbled across a strewn field, the scattered fragments of a huge rock that dropped out of its orbit between Jupiter and Mars about 15,000 years ago and exploded over the desert.

Over a two year period, Kriegh and his partners pulled more than 2,400 meteorite pieces from what would become the Gold Basin Strewn Field. One of only two strewn fields in Arizona, it is believed to be the oldest in the world outside of Antarctica, Kring said. To date, more than 5,000 meteorite pieces have been recovered in the area.

However, according to the North Dakota Geological Survey web site on meteors, "Finding a meteorite is more difficult than the proverbial needle in a haystack." The web site goes on to say:

"To discover a meteorite, find an environment where rocks are not normally found. For example, the surface of frozen lakes and rivers might work here in North Dakota. The surface of many glacial ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland are favorite and productive areas for meteorite prospecting too. In fact, more than 15,000 of the 22,000 known meteorites have been collected in Antarctica."
