It happened after Tagish, that more and more observed falls were priced in a

Dear List,
The Norwegian Astronomical Socierty (NAS) has a mailing list running for

Sonny,
Good hunting with you up there, had a lot of fun! Looking forward to the

them all (so far). Just an awesome specimen!
Might also go back up soon.

Hi Listees,
I received an email today from Melchor, Guatemala at the Belize

towards the ruins at Tikal. This is an area (the Peten) that can make

The woman who found the 4.26-g stone sent this message to me
yesterday after I passed on to her offers to purchase her stone from
some list members.
I have decided to loan the piece to U.C. Davis, Dr. Yin,
I agree kudos to Team Girl Power, let's also give special attention to 4-year

Hi all,
Here's an article on the 5 steps to finding a meteorite!

Probably not a misquote -- Dr. Jenniskens is interested in deciphering

not. No meteorite researcher has completed an analysis of it yet (perhaps

I'd think if the parent body was cometary, it would had a faster entry

Hi Alan:
I would agree with you on the consensus that CMs would appear to come from
asteroids. Based on spectra and albedo, CM meteorites look like C-class
(and possibly several other low-albedo classes) asteroids (very common in
the Main Belt). These are asteroid that have surface compositions
CM chondrites are also ubiquitous. The most abundant foreign
component of the lunar soil is chemically similar to CM chondrites.
If i recall, many fireballs also seem to be CM like, although other
list members would be better able to address this point. More CM
chondrites would be in
