Hello Listers

I would like to thank everyone that sent in their answers for the BLACK
FRIDAY POP QUIZ.

The question was....

?Please tell me how many whole individual meteorites
were found at the Gebel Kamil crater and the surrounding area?

Answer

There was one whole individual piece that was found at the Gebel Kamil
crater site. It was reported to be the main mass weighing in at 83kg.
This could be an indication that the meteor stayed intact while entering
into the atmosphere and had minor?separation till it met its match when
it came into contact with the surface of the Earth, making a 45m
diameter crater. Scientist at the site recovered over 4000
specimens?great than or equal to 10g, totaling over 1700kg. Out of the
thousands of?specimens collected by the scientists, they?were able to
take half of what was collected at the end of the 2010 field servery
expedition back to Cairo. The other half was left behind due to cargo
space. So all in all, science got a great amount of the meteorite to
study. But I would also have to say the science also is within the cater
because it is still very close to its pristine state the day the event
happened.

I would like to say that there were only nine?Listers the sent in the
correct answer so I will be rewarding the first Lister that sent in the
correct answer and that is Galactic Stone & Ironworks. Thank you again
for everyone that sent in an answer and keep an eye for another
installment of POP QUIZ?FRIDAYS.

Thank you
