Scientific paper

The Gold Basin strewn field occurs in the Mojave Desert of northwestern Arizona. When we first reported the find last year, approximately 2000 specimens had been recovered over a 160 sq km area. More recent fieldwork has increased the number of samples to approx. 3000 over an area of about 225 sq km. The area is currently part of the arid American Southwest, but climatic conditions have fluctuated since the time the meteorite fell. In this paper, we explore those changes and how they affected the weathering of the meteorite, comparing and contrasting these effects, where possible, with the effects seen among meteorites found in other hot desert regions of the world.
