Hi list

Reason for the question:

I am a co-author of the paper "Myth and catastrophic reality: Using
cosmogonic mythology to identify cosmic impacts and massive plinian
eruptions in Holocene South America."  A invited presentation for the
symposium, "Myth and Geology," 32nd Geological Congress, to be submitted
later this month in Florence, Italy

THE QUESTION:

Can anyone with direct knowledge confirm these 1999-recent recoveries were
made within the 80 km strewn field identified in: Cassidy W A, Villar L M,
Bunch T E, Kohman T P, Milton D J, 1965.  Meteorites and craters of Campo
del Cielo, Argentina. Science, Vol 149, No. 3688, 1055-1064?

If outside the known field an approximate distance would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Michael J Masse
