disconeckted Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Near Seagrove, NC(15 miles) where I have my shop, back in the 1930 ish time frame, a meteorite hit and a part was recovered (79 KG). I have found a little info but is there a good website for getting the data on landing sites and direction of the strewn fields. The Lat/Long I have puts it at a church which makes me thing it was a generalized location and might be off by several miles.Since I am new to this part of prospecting, I don't really know what kind of data exist.

fredmason Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Dis, there is not likely to be any good official info...back then they often named the meteorites by the nearest post office...reading through old newspaper archives would be a likely source for eyewitness accounts. From that info you may be able to establish an idea of the strewn field-if there is one.good luckfred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Try the local library, see what historic info you might be able to dig up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
