CLOUDY DAY IN METROPOLIS:
Unusual meteorite found in Kansas (AP, 10/16/06)
GREENSBURG, Kansas -- Scientists located a rare meteorite in a
wheat field thanks to new ground penetrating radar technology that
someday might be used on Mars.
Don't let the media fool you - this thing is already in LexCorp's labs
The dig in Kansas Monday was likely the most documented excavation yet
of a meteorite find, with researchers painstakingly using brushes and
hand tools in order to preserve evidence of the impact trail and to date
the event of the meteorite strike. Soil samples were also bagged and
tagged, and organic material preserved for dating purposes.
