Hi All,
For those that haven't read the latest MeteoriteTimes offering from Paul and Jim, it's packed full of interesting articles. I especially enjoyed Jim's trip report to Racetrack Playa (aka "The Racetrack") as well as the news of their successful recovery of not one but TWO meteorites from Silurian Dry Lake in California. These are the 2nd and 3rd meteorite finds at Silurian (the first was by Bob Verish -- an LL6 -- a few years back). One of their finds is certainly unpaired to Bob's LL6, so the playa now has at least two falls to its name. Silurian is one of many locations that is encorporated into my Mojave Desert recovery statistics, so each new find there ratchets up my global annual fall rate estimate. Silurian had been under- performing relative to its size and surface quality, so it is reassuring that the number of unpaired finds there has now doubled and possibly tripled. (For a lake of Silurian's size, I would expect roughly five unique meteorites). Some other gems in the November "issue" are Michael Blood's 4th installment of Meteorite Market Trends, an excellent interview with Rob Elliott (including a number of terrific images), and more great pictures under Martin Horejsi's "The Accretion Desk". There is sure to be something in this issue for everyone, so take Jim's advice: pop some popcorn, sit back and enjoy! http://www.meteoritetimes.com/ --Rob |
