Hello List,
I spent the day hunting meteorites and meeting with people in Park Forest,
IL today, and the material from what I can tell is pretty well dried up. I
looked at around 700+ meteor-wrongs that people had collected and I
personally did not find any material during my hunting of the strewnfield.
Of the 700+ meteor-wrongs I looked at I only found one real meteorite. It
was a very nice fusion crusted individual with lipping that weighed 13 grams
(you can see it on my web site at the page
Meteorites(3)). The Park Forest experience has been a wonderful view into
lives of those who do this as their profession, and it has really given me a
greater appreciation for all they do to obtain the meteorites that end up in
our collections. Thank you!!!

Take Care,
Jason Phillips
