Is there anyone on the list that is knowlegable about collecting metorites?
I don't know of anyone on the list but former Hansen Planetarium director Von Del Chamberlain is the one I turn to when I have such questions. You'll find him in the SLC phone book.
Also, How easy is it to find meteorites in Utah?
I guess you have not heard about this little bit of (not totally serious) Utah meteorite hunting history: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/METEOR01.HTML Kim Hyatt (a subscriber to Utah-Astronomy) got that ball rolling (er, falling). I believe he did quite a bit of research into Utah falls so hopefully he'll chime in with details.
Are the Salt Flats a good area to hunt?
Kim has also searched for meteorites on the Salt Flats. Patrick
