<P>Hello List, Maybe we could give these Nomads a canvas bag full of little satellite transmitters and have them throw them on the ground at strewn fields finds. Then someone could map them and collect the transmitters at a later date and reuse them! What da ya all think? <BR>Thanks, Tom</P></DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Perhaps Dean could call up the Nomads on their cell
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>phones, provided they are currently wondering the area
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>of the desert with cell phone reception, and ask them
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>to start documenting the finds. WHY HASN'T THIS
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>HAPPENED? Maybe ship them a GPS unit and some graph
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>paper to map out the strewn field? I mean, in this day
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>and age of communication, the only reason the "nomads"
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>aren't doing this is for 2 reasons. 1 being they are
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>too lazy, 2 being, no one has asked them to. Think of
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>the what could happen, the next NWA's to be found could
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>acutally be documented, knowing the TKW, location, etc.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Why isn't this happening? Everyone, collectors,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>dealers, NOMAD'S, could be making more money.

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>they are the

<DIV></DIV>> same type of
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> meteorite or even paired. Dean's NWAs all look
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>similar
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> due to the local
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> environment that they were found (probably within the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> same region of the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> Sahara).
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> Desert varnish or sand erosion covers most of the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> meteorites and
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> rocks in the Sahara and other deserts. Desert varnish
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> is characteristic
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> in colour or texture depending on the local
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> environment; and even the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> terrestrial rocks look similar in appearance.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> I hope this answers some of the questions that I
