AW: [meteorite-list] Catalogue of Meteorites?

[Jörn Koblitz]

Dear Jeff,

I can (naturally ;-) recommend MetBase to you. It's quite up-to-date. I've just added about 4000 new non-Antarctic and Antarctic meteorites as well as 6000 literature references (bibliography section) to the new version 7.0 to be released end of this year. The price for a licence is 370 EUR plus shipping - a bit more than the British Catalogue, but you can get annual updates at 93 EUR and the database contains much more information (e.g. analysis data, literature, detailed repository information) than the printed version or the CD. However, I like the British "Catalogue of Meteorites" for quick look up - one doesn't have to switch on the PC and - as a book collector - I love books in general!

If you like to know more about MetBase I can send you a pdf file with information on its capabilities and database contents.

Cheers,
Jörn Koblitz
