The VVAC welcomes Dr. Laurence Garvie (Research Professor at ASU's Center for Meteorite Studies) who gives a presentation on "Asteroids, Meteorites, and Dangers to Life on Earth". This presentation accompanies the return of the Camp Verde Meteorite, which is currently on display at the Verde Valley Archaeology Center until the end of August 2015. This meteorite is a 135 lb. remnant of the Canyon Diablo Meteor, responsible for the creation of Meteor Crater near Winslow, AZ. It was found in 1915, wrapped in a turkey feather blanket, inside the wall of an ancient Sinagua ruin, east of Camp Verde.
