The expedition brought back five tons of splinters - remnants of the shat= tered meteorite. Hello List, I thought the "splinter" reference in this article, very accurate to most= Sikhotes in our collection, slightly amusing. I could only imagine the = adventure in the first couple of expeditions. Finding a crater every thi= rty minutes....a multi 100 kilo. sized meteorite every hour. Sigh. Today's Sikhote photos is a 49.2g, I refer to as the Lockness. (We alway= s see animals and birds in meteorites....perhaps Walter could tell us the= deep meaning in our collectors mind for this collector habit). http://www.meteoritearticles.com/colsikhotelockness.html Mark Bostick Administrator and board member of the Kansas Meteorite Society www.meteoritearticles.com, and my new website with local college Jerry Ca= lvert, (http://www.kansasmeteoritesociety.com) Still being worked on but= worth the click Wichita, Kansas Please visit, www.MeteoriteArticles.com, a free on-line archive of meteor= and meteorite articles. ------=_NextPart_001_0011_01C3F210.38C774A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><BODY STYLE=3D"font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV><FONT size=3D2= > <P>Paper: Lethbridge Herald</P> <P>City: Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada</P= > <P>Date: Tuesday, June 17, 1947</P> <P>Page: 3</P> <P> </P> <P>100= TON METEORITE</P> <P>MOSCOW, June 17 - (Reuters) - A meteorite which lan= ded last February in a mountainous area about 300 miles northeast of Viad= ivostok weighed about 100 tons according to evidence obtained by an exped= ition from the Society Academy of Science.</P> <P>The expedition brought = back five tons of splinters - remnants of the shattered meteorite.</P> <P= > </P> <P> </P> <P>Hello List,</P> <P>I thought the "splinter" = reference in this article, very accurate to most Sikhotes in our collecti= on, slightly amusing.
