Wayne:
I have also checked the web with few results. I suggest that you check
back issues of the Meteoritical Society Journal, now called MAPS. These may
be available in a good science library. Also an I.A.U. publication of
Symposium No.90, Solid Particles in the Solar System, edited by Ian Halliday
and B. A. McIntosh, chapter, Analysis of Interplanetary Dust Collections by
Brownlee et al. I know of no popular literature on this subject I'm afraid.
Perhaps others have suggestions! Can't help you with a web source.
