[meteorite-list] Canyon Diablo....was Is Amgala Official? / New Bulletin

[E. L. Jones]

Hello Tom and list

That was the happenstance location*  in the northwestward quadrant of 
what was to become identified as the strewn field where meteorites from 
this find were first identified by science. (1891? all though, 
meteorites from this field were known and traded much earlier). The 
crater was not associated with this find until --when? 1920's?  Ergo,  
couldn't have been Meteor Crater, AZ under past nomenclature conventions.
