[meteorite-list] Richardton Meteorite June 30th 1918

[Frank Cressy]

Hi Steve & all,

I have the direction of Richardton coming from the SSW.  I have a copy of the strewnfield map in my book "From Weston to Creston" (2016).  The reference I got this from is from Murphy & Forsman (1998) Meteorites in North Dakota" in North Dakota Geol Survey Educ Series no 23, 23 pages.  

All the best,

Frank

Steve,

Welcome back!  Glad you are still involved.  Has it been since 2003?  If I remember correctly it was a spider bite that sidelined 
you.

Cheers,

Mike Tettenborn
