Dear Plat, If you go back to the list archives to 1999 or so in the early winter I believe, we had a post entitled "Who I are" (a play with words obviously), and about 40 or more list members posted a brief autobiography under that thread. Best, Dave Freeman Rock Springs, WY Platypus Girl wrote: Hello Pat, Thank you for the nice welcome and for the book suggestions. I do have Rocks from space, 2nd edition. I also have The Cambride Encylopedia of Meteorites. I bought Rocks first, but then got the Encyclopedia, which seemed to offer a more substantial explanation, so I started to read it first, and it is very interesting. I am really enjoying it.

You will find some great folks and some great information here. There are a couple of great books that I can highly recommend: The modern classic is _Rocks From Space_ 2nd edition by O. Richard Norton. This one is in print, can be purchased from amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0878423737/sr=1-1/qid=1154405841/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7883561-5277402?ie=UTF8&s=books The older classic is a bit harder to get, as it is out of print: _Find a Falling Star_ by Harvey H. Ninninger. Another one you might enjoy is written by a female meteoriticist called _The Rock from Mars_ by Kathy Sawyer. This one is about ALH84001 the mars meteorite found in antartica by another lady meteoriticist. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400060109/sr=1-1/qid=1154406066/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7883561-5277402?ie=UTF8&s=books Welcome again to the list....
