The meteorite search<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As announced by Arizona State University on 28 June 2016*<\/strong><\/a> fifteen meteorites (79.46 g), weighing between 0.9 and 28.64 (29.35 ?) grams, (ordinary chondrites, LL7) have been found during a 132-hour-search expedition by Arizona State University. The first pea-sized meteorite (0.93 g) was found on June 22 by Robert Ward at location 33\u00b053\u201919.7″ N, 110\u00b037\u201955.0″ W<\/a>. The ‘reconnaissance expedition’ was lead by Laurence Garvie who together with ASU’s assistant vice president of tribal relations, Jacob Moore, had contacted Chairman Ronnie Lupe of the tribal council of the White Mountain Apache Tribe shortly after the fall to ask permission to search on tribal land. The search team was supported by tribal chief ranger Chadwick Amos and Game and Fish director Josh Parker. Other team members were Prajkta Mane and Daniel Dunlap, two grad students of ASU’s Center for Meteorite Studies and three private meteorite hunters (Robert Ward, Ruben Garcia and Mike Miller) who had been invited upon condition that they would hand over any found meteorites to ASU. The fifteen found meteorites are property of the White Mountain Apache Tribe and will be curated at ASU. The largest specimen (29.35 g), provisionally named LG2, was found by Laurence Garvie around this location 33\u00b053’01.8″N 110\u00b038’17.9″W<\/a> on a plateau in the southwestern corner of the White Mountain Apache Reservation. At least one more search expedition is planned. Its goal is to find larger masses to establish a map of a strewn field. The negotiations between ASU and the tribal council are said to be in progress. The meteorites found so far are on public display at the Center for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State University .<\/p>\n[wc_row][wc_column size=”one-half” position=”first”]\n
