Terry,? I think you have got a lot of reading ahead of you.? This site /list is a good place to learn about meteorites.? The map you saw that had so many marks on it were points where meteorites have been found.? When a meteor explodes in the air and the pieces fall to the ground is called a strewn field.? There are many all over the world.? What part of the world do you live in?? There is a catalog that lists where meteorites have been found, but it is very expensive.

I am interested in the latest research on how many known impact

If I should be asking the question on a
