Discovery of the Belly River Meteorite: New Information
Abstract
Details concerning the discovery of the Belly River, Alberta meteorite, published by LaPaz (1953) in his preliminary note, require correction. The 7900 g H6 chondrite was not discovered as a result of an aircraft forced landing, nor was it found east of the Belly River at approximately longitude 113° 00'W and latitude 49° 30'N. The correct location of the find is longitude 113° 29' 22"W and latitude 49° 39' 44"N.
