Goldfinger Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi Guys; Here's some information on the frequency of various sized meteorites over the eons. http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol204/impacts.htm The following are some more predictions for meteorite frequency. These are only estimates and are highly debated. Some say the 10 kilometer range is 1/100million years, but it should give you a ballpark idea. 4 meters 1/yr 8 meters 1/decade 43 meters 1/400 years 150 meters 1/6,000 years 1 kilometer 1/240 million years 10 kilometer 1/240 billion years Just makes me wonder how frequent falls like Gold Basin or Franconia happen. Keep in mind 70% of these will land in the oceans. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
