[meteorite-list] Re: Dr. King and Collecting Allende

[RYAN PAWELSKI]

Hello All,

That great story can also be found in one of Elbert's books entitled "Moon Trip", published in 1989 by the University Of Texas. 

Speaking of King's Allende, I am the current owner of specimen #7R-23, complete with the original labeled case and photo. Great piece! Looks like it fell yesterday. 

Take Care, 

Ryan

That must have been quite an adventure and anyone interested can
read about it in Joel Schiff's Meteorite Magazine - provided you
have a subscription - if you don't it is high time you get one ;-)

PANCZNER W.D. (2004) Allende Revisited (Meteorite, August 2004,
Volume 10, No. 3, pp. 25-30). See especially: A Rush to the Fall
Site - The First 72 Hours.

Best wishes,

Bernd
