"In 1997, on our first expedition to Chile’s Atacama Desert,
I learned that Geoff was a natural at meteorite hunting. It wasn’t until later, however, when Geoff wrote an amazing account of that excursion in a magazine article, that I also began to appreciate his literary skills. If you enjoy Geoff on Meteorite Men you are going to love this book. No commercials, no meteorwrongs, no me interrupting him with offers of beef jerky—just Geoff waxing eloquent about these remarkable treasures from space. It doesn’t get any better than this!”

CHAPTER 6: UNDERSTANDING STREWNFIELDS
When multiple meteorites fall at the same time, the zone in which they land is called a strewnfield. Understanding strewnfields is one of the single most valuable pieces of knowledge for meteorite hunters. Chapter 6 of Meteorite Hunting not only explains how strewnfields form, but also discusses strategy for mapping and hunting them. Pages 32 and 33 [pictured above] include a sample strewnfield map and advice on how best to plan and execute an effective hunt within the fall zone. More sample pages >>>
