My notes from Dr. Frederick D. Leonard's Meteoritics 118 class which I took
at UCLA (I believe in1962) say:
A meteorite is any object of sub-planetary mass which has landed on Earth,
or some other astronomical body, and still retains its original cosmic
characteristics.

Hi Greg,
may we add for the list members some more information.
Dirk Hohmann (thank you) brought just this fine and easy to read article by
Jeffrey Taylor to our attention,
which describes the properties, formation and importance of the Yamato
980459 very well.
Hi Folks,
Just an observation about the new NWA 5789 -
In aesthetic terms, the matrix reminds me of terrestrial olivine bombs
thrown out by volcanoes. I wonder if this spectacular meteorite has
been through a similar process on Mars? The terrestrial versions are
more olivine heavy, but the
I was wondering if anyone know why the regmaglypts (thumbprints) for
Sikhote-alins seem to be smaller than those found on Campo del Cielos? Perhaps
velocity, entry size, atmospheric duration exposure, structure, something
else? Any educated guesses? Any non-educated guesses? :O)

Hi Geo,
Since regmaglypts are the result of airflow (and only when it travels
relatively fast in sufficiently dense atmosphere), I would suggest that
their sizes of regmaglypts are both proportional to the size of the
piece when it is subject to the turbulence (requires piece to be moving
Good evening everybody,
Those of you dedicated to the search and recovery of meteorites from hot
deserts might be interested in a little feature on some common characteristics

Hi Svend,
always good to know someone like you outside in the deserts of our planet,
recovering our beloved extraterrestrial monsters before they take a little
dive into the Deep Sea of Eternal Sands (not to mention the Gateways of
Patience ...).
Thanks for sharing your adventures,
my best,
Hi List, Many of you are not at all interested in meteorite micrographs
but quite a few list members have contacted me over the years about various
aspects of meteorite micrographs. Many list members are taking very high
quality shots but have not shared them with the list yet.
