[meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #8...Free Canyon Diablo

2002-10-26 Thread Mike Reynolds


























If you could go meteorite hunting anywhere in the world, where would you go 
and why?

Hi Mark and list,
I'd go hunting at Hugh Hefner's mansion right around bunny bubblebath time. 
I may not find as many meteorites as others might at their hunting areas, 
but I'll bet I'd have more fun lookin!:D

My criteria for a hunt would have to include:
- good chance of finding something
- sense of adventure
- scenery
- dark skies
 
I'd have to vote for the Australian outback.  A 
helicopter tour of craters (with a couple of hours and a metal detector at each) 
and then about a week just rambling around the desert.
 
Best Regards to all,
Phil

If I could search anywhere in the world it would have to be the Canadian 
territory Nunavut. I would search here because it has probably never been 
searched before, the natives have probably found meteorites before and made 
weapons out of them, and they could probaly show you any rock that had fallen 
from the sky or seems out of the ordinary.

Thanks,
Chris

How 'bout Mars at the site of the impact that gave us some of our Martian
meteorites.  There may be pieces of the impactor left.  It would be neat to
have a piece of a meteorite from Mars that gave us Mars meteorites!

Hello list,

After the fires went out, the dust cleared, and the toxic gas levels of
the atmosphere were reduced, I would like to have gone to stand on the
rim of Chicxulub on the Yucatan 65 million years ago. The asteroid was
most likely vaporized as it penetrated the earth's crust, but the scar
left behind must have been breathtaking.

2002-10-23 Thread Deborah Martin

Since the contest specifies "meteorite hunting anywhere in the
world", that precludes my first choice: the Kuiper belt.  Who
knows what we could find there !  In keeping with the limitations
set by Mark, I would go on an extended tour of the Canadian
Prairies.  There are a lot of meteorites still undiscovered in the
Alberta-Saskatchewan-manitoba belt (we do discover a couple every year or
so).  Indeed, a great portion of the known Canadian meteorites were
found by farmers working on their land.  Besides, I *love* visiting
the Prairies.

I would like to go WHERE meteorites are sitting on the ground waiting to
be found.
Just as you pick one up , you see another even nicer.
The place  where you spend more time picking them up than looking for
them.
 Having to decide which ones to keep.
And while you are deciding,  six more impact the ground in succession
off to your right.
HOW to get them home - is your second biggest problem.

I'll tell you where I'd like to go. I'd like to hit the 
Gobi desert for and extended period. Why you ask? Well, let me tell you that 
aside from being virtually unexplored by western man in recent history, it 
covers a temendous area of land, its suited for meteorite searches in that the 
soil is light enough for dark colored fusion crusted items to stand out and its 
barren enough to allow for aerial recon with hopefully good results for impact 
sites.
So, with that in mind Mark, when are you organizing a trip 
there and how do we get ultralites/balloons/gyrocopters over there and to 
the field (You might read the book titled "the dinosaurs of the flaming cliffs" 
by Novacek). The Chinese are very open about westerners visiting their country 
now and so permits shouldn't be a major problem.

Mark Kindly asked:

Hmmm Mark, 

If I could hunt meteorites anywhere in the world, and keep what I found, I would start at the Smithsonian, then the British Natural History Museum, then the American Museum of Natural History, then the Vienna Museum. I would like to make a couple other stops along the way at Bob Haag’s house, Jim Schwade’s place, and maybe Hupe Brother’s basement (actually their safe deposit box but you know what I mean).

Oh, and why? 

Duh.

Cheers,

Martin
