Frequency of meteorite falls throughout the ages


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT PROF. H. DINGLE has stressed the fact that Prof. F. A. Paneth distinctly distinguished between the origin of meteors and that of meteorites1. Prof. Dingle emphasized that the


conclusions arrived at by Prof. Paneth that “siderites and aerolithes only fell on the Earth from the late Quaternary period” leads one to suppose that if meteors have traversed the


atmosphere of the Earth since time immemorial, not one of these had ever reached the Earth's surface, unless it be in the form of ‘cosmic dust’. Access through your institution Buy or
