[meteorite-list] Alain Carion's trip to Egypt, some answers.

[Impactika at aol.com]

Hello again,

Yesterday I  posted:
-----------------------------
Alain Carion just got back from  Egypt where he helped with a great discovery.
He finally sent me a few  pictures, and I thought you might be interested 
since it has to do with  meteorites.  :-)

Just go to:  www.IMPACTIKA.com/ACarion.html
----------------------------
 
Now to answer some of the questions I received:
This might very well turn out to be the largest field of impact craters  ever 
found on Earth, with at least 50 craters, most of them visible only by  Radar 
Remote sensing, because they have been completely eroded, and filled with  
sand.
 
The exact age of these craters has not been determined yet, but they  are 
expected to be tens of millions years old, and that would explain the  complete 
lack of meteorites and impact glass. A complete scientific report will  be 
published in a few months.
 
You might want to read this preliminary report for more information:

And no, Alain did not bring back any shattercones!  
But I am sure he would have loved too.       :-)
 
Any other questions?
