[meteorite-list] August 2004 "Meteorite"

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:

Greetings from the Sonoran Desert.

The latest and greatest issue of "Meteorite" magazine is hurtling 
toward you as I write this, and my copy arrived yesterday. The August 
2004 issue features a stunning color cover photo of the Auckland, New 
Zealand meteorite that recently fell in editor/publisher Joel 
Schiff's home town. Comments on the fall, by Joel, are included in 
the issue.

Contents include:

  "Lingua Franconia: Deciphering Arizona's Meteorite Graveyard," by 
yours truly, featuring Arizona desert adventures with fearless 
meteorite-hunting List members Mike Miller, Ruben Garcia, Sonny 
Clary, and Jim Kriegh.

"J.W. Simmons' Account of the Discovery of the Winona Meteorite," 
with comments by Andrew L. Christenson.

"Ancient Egyptians and Iron Meteorites," by Aly A. Barakat

"A Gift from Space Lands in New Zealand," by Brenda Archer

"Allende Revisited," by William D. Panczner

"A Road Trip to Kindersley," by Martin Beech

"Meteorite Fragments & Fullerenes in the Permian-Triassic Boundary," 
by Gregory T. Shanos

"New Discoveries in Morasko," by Dominic Padirac

Plus columns by local favorites O. Richard Norton ("Only Skin Deep," 
feature on fusion crust) and Martin Horejsi ("Is 2004 the Year of the 
Missing Strewnfields?"), as well as Joel's "Down to Earth," reviews, 
cartoons, photos and . . .. well, really, what more could a meteorite 
enthusiast want?

Don't miss this issue!
