[meteorite-list] Question about meteorites in sand dunes

[Dave Freeman mjwy]

Dear Pele;
Sand dunes are a mostly active thing as they grow vegetation if they do 
not move. I would estimate that due to the continued dryness of the 
deserts of Africa and that sand dunes were there then that your 
meteorites have a 50% chance of being burried and the same chance of 
being exposed. Now if they have been exposed for that whole time...they 
may have grown legs and may have been carried off being how meteorites 
have value and most of Africa knows that by now.
Being you are a meteorite collector, I would think that this question 
should be very easily answered by yourself.
