[meteorite-list] Re: A to Z corrections/ Sale offer

[Martin Horejsi]

Hi Mike,

Meteorites A-Z is an excellent reference, and one that is never far  
away (especially since is have three copies). Thank you so much for  
producing such a needed handbook.

One more correction you might add to the list is that the fall of the  
Pantar stone happened at 0845 hours, not the listed 2045 hours as in  
the Catalogue and A-Z (which I guess is redundant since your info  
likely came from the Catalogue).

Anyway, the fall of of the Pantar chondrite was the topic of my  
latest column in Meteorite Magazine, and although I don't have any  
source supporting an evening fall other than the Catalogue, I do have  
articles by Nininiger documenting the event, and all state a morning  
fall. In fact, the descriptions collected onsite note many morning  
activities that were disrupted by the fireball.

Again, thanks for a terrific product!

Martin
