[meteorite-list] Free meteorite references, Other Papers

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi Thaddeus,  Thanks for the link.  I  read what I could and even understood 
a little!  I won't try to explain  what I understood or you may realize I 
really understood nothing at  all!   Really cool source of info.

Not starting a new thread,  but just adding to this one.  I was reading about 
the CO3 DaG 749 and came  onto a paper written by Marc Fries and Andrew 
Steele.  Marc is a list  member and has shared some insightful observations with 
us.  Most recently  he provided an explanation of the color changes in the 
barred chondrule image by  John Kashuba and shown in Mikes Meteorite Photo of the 
Day. 

This paper  explains using the Raman Spectrometer to study meteorites and 
even  Interplanetary Dust in a non destructive way.   I have emailed Marc  and he 
said the Raman could be used to speed up the classification of meteorites  by 
providing a quick way to sort out such things as carbon (and more) in  
samples.

The paper would be of interest to most list members.  I  couldn't make the 
link work.  I used copy and paste and it seems #'s at the  end of the address 
change.

If you Google 

"meteorite co3 dag 749  marc fries"  

His paper is the first thing that comes  up.

Tom

List, 
a search using  the keyword "meteorites" at the ASU
website for the journal "Radiocarbon"  yielded 54
full-text PDF files, while the keyword "meteorite"
yielded 67  articles. All are in the free archives of
the journal, complete from  1959-2004. I haven't had
time to referee any (as if I am qualified), but  I
imagine nobody will blame me. The main page is  at
http://radiocarbon.library.arizona.edu/radiocarbon/index.jsp.
Click  "search." Enter what you will.
