Hi Richard,

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites by R, Norton, Appendix G, Known terrestrial impact craters, identifies the craters that have meteorites found with them.

With Gebel Kamil widely covered in the news lately, it got me thinking a bit more about crater producing meteorites. My collection contains a number of crater produces and I'll be adding this one to it in the future.

Besides Gebel Kamil, Canyon Diablo, Odessa, Campo, Sikhote, Carancas, Henbury all immediately come to mind as collectible meteorites that produced craters. I searched the Meteoritical Bulletin Database for the text keyword "crater" and got 208 returns as the result.

While some of these are only named meteorites, the vast majority of the returns are coming from the Earth Impact Database. This majority is listed as "Impact Crater" as the type.

I'm wondering if there is a list somewhere of meteorites that are associated with craters? That would make it easier to determine if a impact structure also has (collectible) meteorites associated with it.

Thanks
