Re: [meteorite-list] How Many Meteorites Are Hidden on Farmland?

Along the same thought process Tommy,

 

I have often wondered just how much mass worth of extraterrestrial matter there has been added to the Earth's overall mass?  Add up all those meteorites under the top soil of farms, all the meteorites from the Ordovician bombardment of L-chondrites, etc. etc.  Add up every meteorite we know of already, and every meteorite we do not know of already, and just how much of the Earth's current mass can be attributed to extraterrestrial matter?

 

In my mind it is an intriguing question.  Our orbit around the sun is perfectly located to support life, and if the mass of the Earth were different enough to have landed us in a different orbit for one reason or another, we might not have an environment suitable to support life.

 

Hope you are all doing good. 

Cheers,
