Though I felt this story was worded rather unclearly, it is interesting.<br /><br /> SDC link to AP story <br /><br /><br />Forest Fire Leads to Ancient Meteorite Discovery <br />By Associated Press<br /><br />posted: 15 July 2007<br />08:25 pm ET<br /><br />"GRAND MARAIS, Minn. (AP) -- A forest fire has led to a chance discovery of debris from the impact of a meteorite 1.85 billion years ago, more than 450 miles away at Sudbury, Ontario."<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Yeah, the title was a bit of false advertising. I expected a story about where a forest was burned away, and with the forest gone, an ancient meteorite was found. That is way more interesting (albeit, it didn't happen), then this rather prosaic story, that because a fire kept a guy from looking in one place, he found something interesting in another place.

It is,I agree completely deapfreeze.<br /><br />The mis wording is not that important, in relation to the actual findings.<br /><br />Perhaps we will find out about the nature of the impacting body that created the <br />Sudbury Crater.<br /><br />Fascinating stuff.<br /><br />Thanks MeteorWayne.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.
