I totally agree with Bernd that Thomas was very lucky indeed to have been
able to keep them and first of all very lucky to have found some.
As I understood from previous posts, I thought it was very hard to find some
at all.
Maybe Thomas can add to this when he sees the posts.
Maybe its shale (?) that he found, that was another idea I heard.
Bernd have you seen them?
I believe the best to do is what Gary has in mind, ask the ranger or whoever
is responsible for the Barringer Crater.
Its pouring and thundering in Sacramento,
Wish they were meteorites and sonic booms! ;-)

Hello Gary and List,
"Interesting - they let them keep their finds."
Gary, if I were you, I wouldn't count on that. Thomas was just lucky they
did not
search his/their pockets!" But if you should go there and try your luck (be
careful,
please and do not let your passion for meteorites carry you away!), it will
be of
interest that the area where the highest concentration of Canon Diablo
meteorites
occurred is the area in the northeast quadrant that extends directly from
the crater
rim to about 3/4 of a mile from the crater (mostly smaller pieces).
Larger chunks were found in the southeast quadrant about 1 1/2 to 2 miles
away from
the crater rim and another one three to four miles away from the crater rim
in a small
area about 45° south of east (or 45° east of south).
Cheers,
Bernd
