Re: [meteorite-list] From Meteorites to Mammoths
Wow Sonny What a great find . I cant wait to see some photos of it. I am totally jealous stuck here in the Wet Cold Shetland Islands in Scotland a bit longer. But I have been looking for that chance in a million or billion that a meteorite may have been stacked years back in the very very old rocks walls that are are over the islands here . No such luck yet on that dream, but I do get to see lots of bunnies watching me .

Re: [meteorite-list] From Meteorites to Mammoths
Greast find Sonny! You never know what you'll find when you go looking. About 6 or 7 years ago I was working as an electrician on a big industrial new build, and thinking I was being funny, asked the guy that had the excavating contract if he had ever dug up a meteorite. He said, No, but I once dug up a Wooly Mammoth! Turns out that he dug it up in the town of Lake Orion, only about 10 miles from my house. Too bad he didn't say that he did dig up a meteorite and then lead me to a giant iron or something.

Re: [meteorite-list] From Meteorites to Mammoths
Hi Larry Funny story. I have one kinda like it. Before I left home in WA State for this Documentary film in the North Atlantic Sea . I got a call from a guy that read one of my Meteorite wanted posters . A older fella that builds logging roads . He does a lot of heavy equipment work . He said he found a big strange rock on one of his jobs a few years back. It was real rusty on the out side was sluffing off what looked like rusty stuff but the inside looked like Iron. He said in all of his time 30 years of heavy equipment digging he has never seen a rock like it before. And that there are more at this same location. But he just kept the one. He said it was about 18 ft underground He loaded it with one of his tractors into his truck took it home. He said he would pay my gas to drive up look at it when I get home in Sept. Sounds like a good lead So I will go have a look see when I get back.

Re: [meteorite-list] From Meteorites to Mammoths
Hi List, Thanks for all of your kind replies. I thought it was a pretty cool discovery too. I will have to get the okay from the agency before I post pictures. I think they may want to explore the area first.

Re: [meteorite-list] From Meteorites to Mammoths
Nice! I'm envious in a great way, from the confines of the home. Of Meteorites and Mammoths? ... a title exuding trail pheromones! Just goes to show, you never know what you will find in the desert. ...Sonny (Feb 2007) This find sure beats the hoisted, crucified cows I remember you telling us about! It reminds me of the time my girlfriend and I walked right over the backbone of a ridge. Turned out to be more of a backbone than we expected: a Cretaceous Mosasaur's http://www.oceansofkansas.com/Mosasaurs/1mosasa.jpg What a nice feeling you must have had Sonny - and a better site to camp out at than the last one ;-) Meteorite hunting is so broadening ...
