Have you arranged for air photos or is there a stero photo of the area = already (stereo photos would be so kewl! and if you send the = co-ordinates off list, I could check the list at school and see if there = is any for that area for you) Mark ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Mark Jackson=20 To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com=20 Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2003 6:59 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] New Find OK folks. This is going to be very, very difficult for you to believe; = I am pinching myself every few minutes to make sure I'm awake. I assure = you this is no joke. Later today I will have photos back I can post for = you all of the place I am working. I have discovered a complex impact = zone in the Southwestern US with multiple crater sites. Big ones. Two I = have seen with my own eyes are in excess of 1/2 mile wide! I have = evidence that these may be the head of an impact zone that stretches = nearly 80 miles! I see possible evidence of up to seven impactors = hitting in a 4 mile radius of where I have been working. OK here's the deal. I have a lot of material being analyzed, = classified and catalogued. I am not going to release ANY meteoritic = material until I have all that work done. However, there are some nice pieces of impact evidence that prove = beyond any doubt that this is a meteorite impact zone. For instance, = there are some gorgeous lechatelierites at the head of the zone. I = better qualify my statement here; I say "head" of the zone because of = the ultra high angle of attack these impactors came in on. I am no = expert in these matters but my best guess is they might have been in an = AoA as little as ten degrees. Anyway these lechatelierites are at the = "area of first influence of the main impactor". Evidence points to the = main impactor being a carbonaceous chondrite and thus some = lechatelierites are pelted with microspherules of impactor material. One = has a gorgeous moldavite buried in it's face! These lechatelierites are = from 4 to 7 inches thick and weigh 1 to 2 kilos. If anyone wants some of the lechatelierite material from this pristine = new find, let me know. I will work on pictures of these things so you = can see them. If anyone wants a particular impact related feature from = this site, let me know. Once again let me reiterate about the impactor = material - there are several samples being looked at for verification = and classification. Until that process can complete I will not release = meteoritic material. Have patience . . . there's plenty worth waiting = for I promise.
