[meteorite-list] NZ Meteorite Video

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:

Greetings. Thanks to those who posted links to the New Zealand TV 
news report on the meteorite fall. It's great to see our favorite 
publisher, Joel Schiff, being interviewed, and looking very dashing 
too in his cattleman's hat and black jacket.

The video clip has been moved to the TVNZ.com archive. Fellow Mac 
users with an up-to-date Flash player can see the clip here:

Best line from the lady newscaster: "It's likely this meteorite is a 
'chon - dree - at' type. That means it chipped off an asteroid, but 
more will be revealed when the 4 1/2 billion year old relic undergoes 
a biopsy tomorrow."

A biopsy? On a STONE? That's a new one on me  : )

But the segment is very interesting and well worth watching. Well done Joel.


Regards to all from sunny Tucson, AZ. 100 degrees today.
