Does anyone know if the large Gebel Kamil main mass individual with
regmaglypts was found on the surface or was buried and how close to
the crater?

Just thinking that the shrapnel pieces would have landed on the
surface after exploding from the crater a a much lower velocity than
individuals...thus individuals with character/crust are much more
likely to be buried deeper and perhaps many more of them may be found
with detectors at a later date/expedition. Perhaps there is a strewn
field of these individuals associated with the crater similar to
Sikhote Alin.

Any thoughts anyone?
