meteorite .kmz layer, this 'thread' has a multitude of posts, concerning
meteorites
and
this list, the last one posted was 02/17/08 04:56 PM. for Google
Earth that includes meteorite finds,
literally
thousands of them. If you sign up with Google Earth Community, you
get a better looking page.
So
when you load it up to view, expect some lag unless you have a very quick
computer with more than
2

Another
way to find meteorites is to look on the top of thousand year old ice fields,

And if that is unavailable to you try 'playas' dried lake beds or sand
dunes, they contrast nicely
with
black meteorites.

The Dark Blue dots are meteorite locations centered on Denver about
