Re: (meteorobs) meteorite collecting
Greetings all,
Gwen asked:

One of my favorite sites on meteorites is www.meteoritemarket.com
Yes, they are a seller of meteorites - but their website is also very
educational. For quite a number of meteorites, you can just click on the
meteorite name and read a nice writeup on the history of the fall, with maps
of the strewn fields, the crater location, and photographs. Some of the
human story behind the find is usually given, and then of course, details on
the actual rock that fell.
The site has wonderful photographs of all kinds of meteorites, great to
explore.
A list of recommended books and further reading is provided, as well as
links to other sites.
