I started as a meteorite hunter and have = evolved into a hunter/collector. I think I understand the end of a strewnfield, the elliptical shape is = created by most of the lighter material falling away to earth and the = larger pieces continuing on a path down the middle of the strewnfield. = They create a point that more or less follows the middle of the = strewnfield. My first question is what is the reason for the point at = the beginning of a strewnfield?=20 The second part of my question is are there other types of = "strewnfields"? More to the point, explosions that occurred closer to = the surface and that might be described as a shotgun pattern? I would be = interested in any other types as the only types I have heard about are = the classic elliptical and a few related pieces. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions. = Mike Miller ------=_NextPart_000_0147_01C3C422.139A0920 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1106" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello, my question is about = "strewnfields" in=20 general, not how they relate to a dry lake bed.
