Note: It is definitely not the debris path of the Glorietta meteorite. Using an overly sensitive detector there appear to be debris trails just about everywhere. The actual path would have been from the north with the actual main field being north of Glorietta Mountain. The larger fragments were able to pass over the mountain. There should be an abundance of material located on the northern side. I am leaving this intact in the hopes of soon being able to locate the actual field of the Glorietta Meteorite and also in the hopes of finding the actual path and location of another meteorite in this path. I am suspecting there may be multiple falls in this area.
The first fragment of the Glorietta Mountain meteorite, 148 kg mass, was found in 1884 by mineralogist from New York, Charles Sponsler. Over the years several large pieces have been found as well as many small pieces in the order of a few grams. .
More recently, Mike Miller, a meteorite hunter from California found a large piece weighing over 140 kg.
Note: The path of the Glorietta meteorite is shown in green on the map. The debris trail is first detectable on the western edge of the Roswell, NM which is approximately. 170 miles south of Glorietta. I will leave this, but I ask you to understand this was years ago and before I had a real understanding of dowsing or of meteorite falls.
A pallasite is a rare stony iron meteorite with large olivine chondrules. Only 15 have been found worldwide. The Glorieta Mountain Meteorites is classified as a pallasite with a high siderite content.
