Meteorite In New Zealand

Dr Michele Bannister from the School of Earth and Environmental Science at Canterbury University explained what people should look out for when hunting the meteorite.

"Please photograph it in place: Note the location using your phone GPS and avoid touching it with your bare hands, the less contamination the better.

"Pick it up in fresh aluminium foil if possible, or otherwise a new clean plastic bag."

Wish more people knew this and followed it....

Phrunt,

  If I was you, I would have been out there ASAP... $200-300 a gram is not bad for fresh stones.... and thats if they are OC's. If it was something that is rare, it would be like a lotto ticket falling out of the sky...

I wonder when we will see the pictures from Phrunt when he finds it.

I wonder how much he will be asking for as a finders fee.

Thanks for sharing the story.

Is there a meteor dance? Probably is, like the gold dance. We want that on film also.

No, I didn't even end up going to look, I'm not sure if it was found, they had a organised search going on.
