Meteorites can fall anywhere so they're just as likely to fall in Kansas as anywhere else. That means they probably mostly fall in the ocean. The only place people really go hunting for meteorites is in Antarcitca where they can fall and stay there for thousands or more years pretty much undisturbed.

I 'bleive a piece or 2 has been found around Brenham Kansas :)

If You are interested in hunting for meteorites,,the 'net has more than enough info on identifying the various types.

Odds of finding one are probably worse than looking for gold or diamonds laying around.

But,,if ya know how to recognize them,,,ya just Never Know when you may stumble upon one.

Can't find them if you dont look,
wont recognize them if ya dont know.


Happy Hunting!

The rich heavy metal open pit mines in Minnesota(as much as 70% of U.S. iron production) may be the remains of large & multiple meteorites with heavy metals that struck this part of the world in eons past. Yes, the ores presently mined in the state's Mesabi range seem, at least partially, to be the remains of meteorite strikes. And yes, incoming meteors sometimes strike as multiple meteorites. They break up before entering a planet's atmosphere(or lacking an atmosphere, they impact the surface) like the Shoemaker-Levi Nine multiple meteor did before striking Jupiter all in a long row surrounding the planet which rotated multiple times as the strung out, but miles wide Shoemaker-Levi multiple rocks impacted in 1994. From 480million miles away on earth with a small telescope, I, like tens of thousands of other people, saw these vast impacts generate great Jupiter storms larger than the Earth. Strong reinforcing evidence to the Minnesota multiple heavy metal meteorite strikes is that 3 vast lake areas in Canada(The Great Bear, Great Slave, & Athabasca) line up in a row with the Mesabi Range in Minnesota. All lake areas, as does the Mesabi, have unusually high percentages of heavy metals that supply rich mining opportunities. The lakes indicate the impact zones of the largest rocks making up the multiple meteor shower. Deline in the Great Bear Lake area has concern for high cancer rates in Indians from radioactive Uranium mining that has taken place of the possible meteor remains. Also, surface radioactive uranium mining of these meteor remains has happened around Lake Athabasca. Future mining may occur as mining interests discover deeply buried remains of the meteor. Yes, all these areas seem to have been impacted in short order by multiple, but associated meteorites. So, go to Minnesota for meteorites...Canada too. Yes, meteorites not only provide curious rocks from space for collectors, but the raw materials in certain areas of the earth for large mining industries. Meteor crater(that being the remains of a single meteorite) & its surroundings in Arizona would be another good place for meteorites.

there is no specific spot or state....its not like an meteor says...hmm....I need to reangle myself so I land in Colorado.

most that fall to earth are burned up in our atmosphere. the few that do get through come in the weak areas...the poles.

this is why many are found just laying on the ice caps of the poles. most that land in populated ares are lost or are gathered up by scientists.

best would be north pole you eliminate all other rocks to find one on the ice is most probable.

All 50. Their not picky where they land.
