Greetings List members,
Larry, you are right on about "Meteorites, a Journey Through Space and Time." It is the perfect compliment to "Rocks From Space." Beautiful pictures, graphs and drawings on every page, easy to read and not too technical. Read "Rocks" first and then "Meteorites."

Months ago I wrote of a relatively new book on meteorites, METEORITES, A

many notes from you echoing my admiration of the book. (By the way, if you did

The meteorite that revived hopes of finding life on Mars is to be analysed by
scientists working on the British-led Beagle 2 mission.

Jeff,
Thanx for keeping me and I'm sure many others straight on these issues. We as
a group are too loose about meteoritic nomenclature, and I think many(non-
scientists especially) out there who publish work need to pay attention to
these and other common practices in naming. Much of my confusi
Hello all,
Here is my simple, romantic notion of Mars and its red-orange/yellow-brown
rocks.

bedrock(mafic and ultamafic) that includes metadiabase gabbro, olivine-rich
gabbro, dunite-like olivine veins, and mica-rich g

Maybe not, if you have the right kind of planet, namely one with an

Hi, Tom,
Every year the Earth receives tens of thousands of tons of
extraterrestial dust. Most of it is ablated from meteorites entering the
atmosphere, but a small amount is cometary, and solar system dust, and even
a smidge of interstellar dust.
The best place to find it is in deep ocean

Rust Sufferers,
You might consider using Steve Schoner's tried and true sodium hydroxide

may times I polished them or how dry I kept them. Then, two years ago, I
