Distance from center of impact affects damage
I believe that the distance a monster is from the center of impact affects the damage of the meteor. Preliminary testing has suggested that the radius is equally divided into 3, like this image here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4234581/meteor-ranges.png (pretend that I actually split the radius into 3 equal lengths). Monsters within the red section would take 100% damage. Monsters within the orange section would take 75% damage. Monsters within the yellow section would take 50% damage. If possible, I'd like some help testing this before I put it on the page.
Some data.

The meteor was dropped right on top of me and you can see that the three spikes closest to me took around 66k damage. The two spikes further out took around 48k damage. At the very bottom right corner of the screenshot, you can see that a spike even further out took around 33k damage. 48k is approximately 75% of 66k. 33k is approximately 50% of 66k.

Again, the meteor was dropped right on top of me. The three spikes closest to me took around 26k damage. The two spikes further out took around 20k damage. The two spikes furthest out took about 13k damage. Again, this approximately matches up with the 100%/75%/50% theory from above.
I threw one at Raccoons and got the following numbers:
- Outer Rim: 11252, 11448, 11417, 11378
- Middle: 16753, 16990, 16504
- Center: 22448, 22687, 22147, 22174
This pretty much supports your theory.
