[meteorite-list] Re: Sikhote Question, Impact Pits, Oriented Campo

[Kevin Forbes]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

If the original Sikhote body floated around the solar system for 100 million 
years, it would have in its original surface, a record of solar activity in 
the way of solar wind particles. Let's say for arguments sake, 100 particles 
(or tracks) per mm2 of surface area exposed to raw space. If the impact 
occured 10 million years ago, and solar activity has remained fairly 
constant, (someone else can figure out how many super novae or solar 
anaomalies may screw up the results) then, would it not be reasonable to 
assume that the impact pit contain 10 solar wind particles per mm2 ??
If the impact pits were caused during detonation in Earths atmosphere, there 
should be no solar wind particles or tracks.
Any tests been done on this path?
Any ideas?
