Area where meteorites from a single fall, or tektites, are dispersed
Example of meteorite strewnfield: distribution ellipse of Pultusk meteorite
A strewn field is the area where meteorites from a single fall are dispersed.[1]
It is also often used for the area containing tektites produced by large meteorite impact.[2]
