[meteorite-list] New Monthly Meteorite Column on Geology.com

[jbaxter112 at pol.net]

Hi Geoff,

This is a great way to expand interest in meteorites. People interested in
geology are a natural audience to be fascinated by meteorites. I was only
interested in minerals until someone let me hold a Sikhote-Alin. I was
hooked instantly. I suspect (and hope) your great photos and articles will
have a similar effect on many of those geology enthusiasts out there.

Best Wishes,
Jim Baxter

> Dear Friends and Listees:

> Greetings from sunny Tucson, AZ.
>
> I am delighted to announce a new online monthly meteorite column
> entitled "Meteorwritings." It will be presented exclusively on Dr.
> Hobart King's Geology.com -- one of the world's top science websites.
> The first installment, "What are Meteorites?" went live this evening.
> The column is aimed at a broad audience, so you meteorite experts will
> already be familiar with the topics and concepts covered, particularly
> in the early installments. As the column progresses, we will look at
> more advanced topics, and we do have a few treats in store.
>
> Each month the column will feature new, original photography by my
> design and photography assistant, Leigh Anne DelRay, and myself. I
> hope you'll find the images, and the column itself, to be enjoyable.
>
> "Meteorwritings" is currently featured on the front page of the site:
> www.geology.com
>
> And its home page lives here:  http://www.geology.com/meteorites/
