Dear Susan: can the brenham fall actually be two falls. The Brenham finds (both pallasites and siderites) have the same composition and, as such, are certainly from the same fall. All the new finds you've been hearing about in Kansas come from a relatively small area. Steve and his partner

Hi all - It is possible that the Brenham impact is related to the Five Nations' tradition of the Flying Heads (Whirlwinds), but a problem here is that this tradition is reliably (by wampum bead count) dated to 200-250 CE, while the one radio carbon date given for Brenham is 47 BCE. If you find a
