      From: evoisard@ieee.org              Hi Henry,              > Almost certainly there's no concentration -- it's just a good place to       > *look* for them. There are a *lot* of meteorites on Earth; for example,       > it's been estimated, if I recall right, that a couple of tons of Mars       > rocks fall on Earth every year. The trick is finding them.              Thanks for the answer. I makes a lot of sense!       >From this point of view I understand much better the story, and how       different it is than hunting fragments in places where a single well known       meteorite has fallen (such as in Sikhote-Alin, Siberia).              So, as there are quite few of information from DaG 488, could I guess that       at least it hasn't been recognized as a piece of Mars or the Moon, and that       it most probably comes from some asteroid...              Thanks again, Eric              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
