If you found a fresh new strewn field you had to have found at least one meteorite or else you would not know its a strewn field.... You let a dog smell the one meteorite turn it loose and it could find all the others for you. A team of men and dogs could search a large area in no time. If a dog could "sniff out" victims in an avalanche or a building collapse it could even find buried meteorites. I would like to give it a test. If any has or does, Please let me know!

The only <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>problem (not big) is that types/classifications may vary in smell. And <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>it is a good idea! Likewise was I amazed to learn that porpoise sonar is <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>so sensitive it can distinguish between equal size objects of brass and <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>of steel. How about a porpoise trained to search the not so deep ocean <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>bottoms for gold/silver and another for meteorites? <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Best, <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Ken <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>James_TOM Knudson wrote: <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> > Hello List, Someone from "down under", playfully, asked me about <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> > training falcons for an extra set of eyes while meteorite hunting.
