[meteorite-list] Micromounts; craters; SL9 impact movie

[tracy latimer]

Apparently Meade has gotten into the micromount business.  They have a tray 
for about $400 with 24 different micromount specimens.  Nothing really rare 
(I don't think there were any lunar or Martian specimens when I last 
looked), but a nice collection starter.
