[meteorite-list] Kansas meteorites?

[Richard Kowalski]

Hey Henry,

Admire was found about 10 miles from Harveyville. Miller about 12 miles, Melvern Lake, about 22 miles, Elm Creek about 24 miles and Dwight about 35 miles...

About a year ago I generated a KMZ file for Google Earth of the non-Antarictic finds in the Meteoric Society's database.

It can be found here:

I should update it, but if you have Google Earth installed on your computer you may find it useful.
