Hiho, one important possibility for the veterans of pre-internet times is missing :-)
12. Fairs & Shows. I got my first meteorite in 1981 on the Munich show as a boy. A schoolmate's father was paleo-biologist at the Bavarian states collections, so we got free tickets. As I was highly interested in astronomy, I really was wonderstruck, that meteorites weren't locked away in scientists' labs, but that indeed one could buy them! Of course I took one. 3 weeks later I was somewhat disappointed, cause I found out, that the stone which was sold to me, was "only" a tektite. Soooo I couldn't await next years' show, there I bought of course a real one! A 50gram individual of Mundrabilla from famous Walter Zeitschel, to whome I send again here my best wishes to hospital! The tektite I still have. Martin ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
