It would work great in an area void of terrestrial rocks. You could train them to look for meteorites, But, of course, they could not tell the difference between rocks and rocks from space. I would think it would be completely feasible to train a dog to sniff out fresh fusion crusts. On a witnesed fall a group of hounds could sniff out a strewn field in a fraction of the time a group of metal detecting meteorite hunters could. List, Please let me know your thoughts on this matter.<BR>Thanks, Tom<BR><BR> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM1ENUS/c156??PI=44364'>Click Here</a><br></html> Received on Wed 07 Aug 2002 04:09:16 PM PDT |
