"A memory that pops into my mind just now is of a meeting with Richard and Dorothy over lunch in Tucson, one year. Richard wanted to see what I had in the way of thin sections when I pulled out 6 Kapoeta thin sections I had from the King Collection... He held one of them up and...said almost in amazement:
"This one slide holds a complete rock collection in it!" NORTON O.R. (2001) Centerpiece: Kapoeta - A Howardite Extraordinaire (Meteorite, May 2001, Vol. 7, No. 2, pp. 22-24): "I knew it was different when I first laid eyes on it.During the 2000 Tucson show Steve Arnold was selling thin sections from the Elbert A. King collection. One in particular from the Kapoeta howardite caught my attention. Even without magni- fication I could see a clast-like feature with a structure I had not seen before in any meteorite, much less in a howardite." ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
