This program also observed a meteorite fall, the Lost City chondrite, allowing its recovery and a calculation of its orbit.

At about the same time as meteorite concentrations were being discovered in the cold desert of Antarctica, collectors discovered that many meteorites could also be found in the hot deserts of Australia.

Dark-colored meteorites can be easily spotted in these places, where they have also been well preserved due to the arid climate, and in the case of the Dar al Gani meteorite field, favorable geology consisting of basic rocks ( clays, dolomites, and limestones ) and lacking erosive quartz sand.

In 1999, meteorite hunters discovered that the desert in southern and central Oman were also favorable for the collection of many specimens.

Early expeditions to Oman were mainly done by commercial meteorite dealers, however international teams of Omani and European scientists have also now collected specimens.

This new law provoked a small international incident, as its implementation actually preceded any public notification of such a law, resulting in the prolonged imprisonment of a large group of meteorite hunters primarily from Russia, but whose party also consisted of members from the U. S. as well as several other European countries.

However, there is substantial evidence that the meteorite known as Valera hit and killed a cow upon impact, nearly dividing the animal in two, and similar unsubstantiated reports of a horse being struck and killed by a stone of the New Concord fall also abound.

* Elbogen – The oldest recorded meteorite in the Czech Republic, also known as the " betwitched burgrave ".

This structure is also formed by shock during meteorite impacts.

We can also hear the fall of a meteorite in a radio receiver ; as the falling object burns from friction with the Earth's atmosphere, ionizing surrounding gases, thereby producing radio waves.

Gilbert also assumed a large portion of the meteorite should be buried in the crater and that this would generate a large magnetic anomaly.

This program also observed a meteorite fall, the Lost City chondrite, allowing its recovery and a calculation of its orbit.

The last such mass extinction led to the demise of the dinosaurs and coincided with a large meteorite impact ; this is the Cretaceous – Paleogene extinction event ( also known as the K – T or K – Pg extinction event ); This occurred 65 million years ago.

The Wold Cottage meteorite ( also called the Wold Newton meteorite ) fell near to Wold Cottage farm in 1795, a few miles away from the hamlet of Wold Newton in Yorkshire, England.

The meteorite is also classified as an L6 meteorite.

The presence of iron fragments at the site also pointed to a meteorite impact, as there are no iron deposits in the region.

**** HED meteorite clan ( possibly from asteroid 4 Vesta, also called basaltic achondrites )

Following the SELENE mission, scientists proposed that volcanism in Mare Moscoviense was active for at least ~ 1. 5 Ga following the formation of the Moscoviense basin, but the formation of the mare as the result of a meteorite cluster impact, rather than from volcanism, has also been proposed based on the energy required to melt the lava in Mare Moscoviense.

This could also refer to a meteorite hitting an ocean.

It was the second meteorite to fall in the town in the span of 11 years, and crashed through the roof of a house without injuring the occupants, as the first Wethersfield meteorite had also done.

Several years later, Japanese scientists recognized that they had also collected a lunar meteorite, Yamato 791197, during the 1979 field season in Antarctica.

According to Pliny the Elder, in 467 BCE a large meteorite landed near Aegospotami.

The story line involved a race between two ship crews trying to reach a meteorite which had landed in the Arctic.

A martian meteorite is a rock that formed on the planet Mars, was ejected from Mars by the impact of an asteroid or comet, and landed on the Earth.

Tissint, the most recent martian meteorite known to have landed on Earth, fell in July, 2011.

In March 2004 it was suggested that the unique Kaidun meteorite, which landed in Yemen on March 12, 1980, may have originated on the Martian moon of Phobos.

After searching, they go to where the meteorite landed.

Somewhat controversial though, was The Shooting Star, which was about a race between two crews trying to reach a meteorite which had landed in the Arctic.

* The Bethlehem meteorite of 1859, which landed in New York, United States ; see Meteorite falls

* the Fisher meteorite of 1894, which landed in Minnesota, United States ( see meteorite falls )

He names this metal " Phostlite ", but is dismayed to discover that the meteorite has landed in the sea and therefore, presumably, is lost.

** the Harrison County meteorite of 1859, which landed in Indiana, United States ( see meteorite falls )

** the Hoxie meteorite landed near Hoxie, Kansas ( see meteorite falls )

In 2007, a meteorite landed in the region, triggering a widespread illness amongst the locals.

At this time the astronomer Forest Ray Moulton performed calculations on the energy expended by the meteorite on impact, and concluded that the meteorite had most likely vaporized when it landed.

** The Hashima meteorite of circa 1910, which landed in Hashima City ( see meteorite falls )

On 14 May 1864 a rare carbonaceous chondrite meteorite landed there, now known as the Orgueil meteorite.

There was no impact crater at the discovery site ; researchers believe the meteorite landed in what is now Canada or Montana, and was transported as a glacial erratic to the Willamette Valley during the Missoula Floods at the end of the last Ice Age (~ 13, 000 years ago ).

In 2008, a team identified Roxane as the closest known spectroscopic match for the Peña Blanca Spring meteorite that landed in a swimming pool in Texas in 1946.

The Antarctic Scientific Exploration of China has conducted successful meteorite searches since 2000.

* A large meteorite impact kills 10 people in rural China.

** the Fuyang meteorite of 1977, which fell in Anhui, China ( see meteorite falls )
