Hi Bob and all!

Thanks for the kind words.

I suppose this is an appropriate time to share this;

http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa325/desertsunburn/Franconia_zps0e1ff64e.jpg

which obsoletes any previous map or strewn field study in the
Franconia area and extends the previously published strewn field by an
additional 4 miles, corrects some mapping errors on previous maps.

The map represents over 1200 recoveries. The green are chondrites
and the blue are ungrouped irons....predominately H-Metal. The data
for the recoveries will be made available at a later date.

YUCCA 015 is still pending approval by the NomCom, so will be
interesting to see them approve this soon! It does have a nice data.
set Other samples are in various stages of classifications and will
be shared when that is complete.

While any strewnfield map is fluid, we know 1000's of addtional finds
in the last decade have not been recorded on this map and most lost to
science forever. I know of approximately 500 additional finds since
this map was first printed about 6 months or so ago.

The following folks all contributed their find data which made this
map possible;

Larry Atkins
Jerry Baird
Troy Ball
Jim Bowden
Mark Bowling
Brian Couch
Robert Crane
Richard Garcia
Paul Harris
Dave Libuszowski
Robert Matson
Cody Miller
Roy Miller
Dough Ross
Stan Santiago
Terry Scott
Keith Semanko
Larry Sloan
Robert Smith
Jason Snyder
Greg Stanley
Homer Stocham
Jim Tobin
Robert Verish
Dennis Wells
James Winn
John Wolfe
Wendy Wooddell
Jim Wooddell

Enjoy!

Although he won't take the credit, it's my opinion that his efforts greatly influenced the unification of the DCAs (Dense Collection Areas) in the Franconia Area. This has resulted in a new DCA: Yucca.
