[meteorite-list] old woman meteorite

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello all,

Over 200 pieces of Old Woman meteorite "shale" were found in the same region 
of the original find about 10 years after the original discovery.  Besides 
locating the spot where the original meteorite was found, they (UCLA?) also 
planted a pole to mark its location.  Somewhere around here I have an 
article (off print?) describing the second round of hunting, which includes 
photographs of "then and now" of the find site.  I guess it would be "then 
and then" now....:^)

If anyone else has to read this article, they would likely conclude there is 
a lot of Old Woman shale still lying around the lake....rusting away.  Adams 
find is still very interesting because of the location of his find.  The 
other shale pieces were found much closer to the original find location.


I cant seen to remember the author but If there is enough interest I will 
dig up the article and scan it or translate it for sharing. (My memory says 
Frederic C. Leonard....who was not alive at this time so I think we can rule 
that out.)
